Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information

Statements contained under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (this “Annual Report”) that are not statements of historical or current fact may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts but reflect management’s current understandings, intentions, beliefs, plans, expectations, assumptions and/or predictions regarding the future of the Company’s business and its performance, the economy, and other future conditions and forecasts of future events, and circumstances. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “continues,” “pro forma,” “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “should” and “could,” and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance, business strategy and portfolios, projected growth prospects, cash flows, costs and financing needs, legal proceedings, amount and timing of anticipated future distributions, estimated per share net asset value of the Company’s common stock, and/or other matters. The Company’s forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. While the Company’s management believes its forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data and/or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise, and may not be realized. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s ability to control or accurately predict. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Given these uncertainties, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on such statements.

For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business, and important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements, please refer to the factors listed and described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s documents filed from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, this Annual Report and the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained from the Company’s website at www.cnllifestylereit.com.

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary note. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, publicly release the results of any revisions to its forward-looking statements to reflect new information, changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated subsequent events or circumstances, or changes to future operating results over time, except as otherwise required by law.

Item 1. BUSINESS

General

CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. is a Maryland corporation incorporated on August 11, 2003. The terms “we,” “our,” or “us,” “the Company” and “CNL Lifestyle Properties” include CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. and each of its subsidiaries. We operate as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, CLP GP Corp. and CLP LP Partners Corp., are the general and limited partners, respectively, of CLP Partners, LP, who is our operating partnership, which conducts substantially all of our operations and owns substantially all of our assets. We have retained CNL Lifestyle Advisor Corporation (the “Advisor”), as our Advisor to provide management, acquisition, disposition, advisory and administrative services. Our offices are located at 450 South Orange Avenue within the CNL Center at City Commons in Orlando, Florida 32801, and our telephone number is (407) 650-1000.

Investment Objectives and Business Strategy

Our principal investment objectives include investing in and owning a diversified portfolio of real estate with a goal to preserve, protect and enhance the long-term value of those assets. We primarily invest in lifestyle properties in the United States that we believe have the potential for long-term growth and income generation. Our investment thesis is supported by demographic trends which we believe affect consumer demand for the various lifestyle asset classes that are the focus of our investment strategy. We define lifestyle properties as those properties that reflect or are impacted by the social, consumption and entertainment values and choices of our society. A large number of our properties are leased on a long-term, triple-net basis (generally five to 20 years, plus multiple renewal options) to tenants or operators that we consider to be industry leading. When beneficial to our investment structure and as a result of tenant defaults, we engage third-party managers to operate certain properties on our behalf as permitted under applicable tax regulations. To a lesser extent, we also make and acquire loans (including mortgage, mezzanine and other loans) generally collateralized by interests in real estate and enter into joint ventures related to interests in real estate.

Following our investment strategy of acquiring carefully selected and well-located lifestyle and other income producing properties, we believe we have built a unique portfolio of assets with established long-term operating histories, and have created diversification within the portfolio by region, operator and asset class. As of March 14, 2014, we held ownership interests in 145 lifestyle properties of which twelve properties, five consolidated properties and seven unconsolidated properties held through one joint venture, are classified as held for sale, by us and the joint venture, respectively. When aggregated by initial purchase price, the portfolio is diversified as follows: approximately 25% in ski and mountain lifestyle, 19% in golf facilities, 16% in senior housing, 22% in attractions, 6% in marinas and 12% in additional lifestyle properties. As of March 14, 2014, these assets consist of 24 ski and mountain lifestyle properties, 48 golf facilities, 30 senior housing properties, 23 attractions, 17 marinas and three additional lifestyle properties with the following investment structure:

Our tenants and operators. We generally attempt to lease our properties to tenants and operators that we consider to be industry leading. However, we do not believe the success of our properties is based solely on the performance or abilities of our tenants and operators. In some cases, we consider the assets we have acquired to be unique, iconic or nonreplicable which by their nature have an intrinsic value. In addition, in the event a tenant is in default and vacates a property, under special provisions in the tax laws, we are able to engage a third-party manager to operate the property on our behalf for a period of time until we re-lease it to a new tenant. During this period, the property remains open and we receive any net earnings from the property’s operations. These amounts may be more or less than the rents that were contractually due under the prior leases. Any taxable income from these properties will be subject to income tax until we re-lease these properties to new tenants.

Financial information about geographic areas. We have one consolidated property, Cypress Mountain, located in British Columbia, Canada, which generated total rental income of approximately $7.2 million, $7.6 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We also own interests in two other properties located in Canada through unconsolidated joint ventures that generated a combined equity in earnings (loss) of approximately $0.9 million, ($1.0) million and $0.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The remainder of our net loss was generated from properties or investments located in the United States.

Our leases and ventures. As part of our net lease investment strategy, we either acquire properties directly or purchase interests in entities that own the properties. Once we acquire the properties, we either lease them back to the original seller or to a third-party operator. These leases are usually structured as triple-net leases which means our tenants are generally responsible for repairs, maintenance, property taxes, ground lease or permit expenses (where applicable), utilities and insurance for the properties that they lease. The weighted-average lease rate of our consolidated properties subject to long-term triple-net leases as of March 14, 2014 was approximately 8.6%. This rate is based on the weighted-average annualized straight-lined base rent due under our leases.

Table of Contents

Our leases are generally long-term in nature (generally five to 20 years with multiple renewal options). We have no near-term lease expiration (other than at our one multi-family residential property and managed senior housing properties, which generally enter into one-year leases with their tenants). Many of our tenants operate more than one of our properties with the leases being cross-defaulted. As of March 14, 2014, we have 73 consolidated properties structured as triple-net leases with the average lease expiration of approximately 16 years. The following table lists, on an aggregate basis, scheduled expirations for the next 10 years ending December 31st and thereafter on our consolidated properties structured under triple-net lease, excluding available renewal periods (dollar amounts are in thousands).

FOOTNOTE:

 

(1) There is no lease expiration for years excluded from the table.

We typically structure our leases to provide for the payment of a minimum annual base rent with periodic increases in base rent over the lease term. In addition, our leases provide for the payment of percentage rent normally based on a percentage of gross revenues generated at the property over certain thresholds. Within the provisions of our leases, we also generally require the payment of capital improvement reserve rent. Capital improvement reserve rents are paid by the tenant and are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the property and are set aside by us for capital improvements, replacements and other capital expenditures at the property. These amounts are and will remain our property during and after the term of the lease and help maintain the integrity of our assets.

Our managed properties. When beneficial to our investment structure and subject to applicable tax regulations, certain properties (hotels and senior housing properties) may be leased to wholly-owned tenants that are taxable REIT subsidiaries or that are owned through taxable REIT subsidiaries (referred to as “TRS” entities). Under this structure, we engage a third-party manager to conduct day-to-day operations and our results of operations will include the operating results of the underlying properties as opposed to rental income from operating leases that is recorded for properties leased to third-party tenants. In addition, in the case of a tenant default and lease termination, we may engage a third-party manager to operate the property on our behalf for a period of time until we can re-lease the property. This allows us time to stabilize the property, if necessary, and enter into a new lease when market conditions are potentially more favorable. During this managed period, we recognize all the underlying property operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements and may be subject to more direct operating risk including risks associated with seasonality and are subject to federal income tax on taxable income from the operations. See “Seasonality” below for additional information.

Our joint ventures. We have entered into joint ventures in which our partners subordinate their returns to our minimum return. This structure provides us with some protection against the risk of downturns in performance but may allow our partners to obtain a higher rate of return on their investment than we receive if the underlying performance of the properties exceeds certain thresholds. Properties that are owned through unconsolidated joint ventures may be leased or managed depending on the circumstance related to each property. In July 2013, we completed the sale of 42 senior housing properties held through three unconsolidated joint ventures. As of

Table of Contents

March 14, 2014, we had a total of eight properties, under leased structure, owned through two unconsolidated joint ventures. As of March 14, 2014, seven of the eight properties held through our unconsolidated joint ventures are classified as assets held for sale and are expected to be sold in 2014. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” for additional information.

Seasonality. Many of the asset classes in which we invest experience seasonal fluctuations due to the nature of their business, geographic location, climate and weather patterns. As a result, these businesses experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our tenants to supplement operating cash from properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us. We have structured the leases for certain tenants such that rents are paid on a seasonal schedule with most, if not all, of the rent being paid during the tenant’s seasonally busy operating period.

As part of our portfolio diversification strategy, we have specifically considered the varying and complementary seasonality of our asset classes and portfolio mix. For example, the peak operating season of our ski and mountain lifestyle assets is highly complementary to the peak seasons in our attractions, marinas and golf portfolios to balance and mitigate the risks associated with seasonality. Generally, seasonality does not significantly affect our recognition of rental income from operating leases due to straight-line revenue recognition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, seasonality does impact the timing of when base rent payments are made by our tenants, which impacts our operating cash flows and the amount of rental revenue we recognize in connection with capital improvement reserve revenue and percentage rents paid by our tenants, which is recognized in the period in which it is earned and is generally based on a percentage of tenant gross revenues.

In addition, seasonality directly impacts certain of our properties where we engage independent third-party managers to operate properties on our behalf and where we record property operating revenues and expenses rather than straight-line rents from operating leases. These properties will likely generate net operating losses during their non-peak months while generating most, if not all, of their operating income during their peak operating months. As of March 14, 2014, we had a total of 63 wholly-owned managed properties consisting of one ski and mountain lifestyle, 13 golf facilities, 15 attractions properties, 20 senior housing properties, 13 marinas and one additional lifestyle property. Our consolidated operating results and cash flows during the first, second and fourth quarters will generally be lower than the third quarter primarily due to the non-peak operating months of our larger attractions properties.

Significant tenants. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, we did not have any tenants who accounted for 10% or more of our aggregate revenue and assets.

Our Investment Loans

As part of our overall investment and lending strategy, we have made and may continue to make or acquire loans (including mortgage, mezzanine or other loans) with respect to any of the asset classes in which we invest. We have made loans to the owners of properties to enable them to acquire land, buildings, or both, or to develop property or as part of a larger acquisition. In exchange, the owner generally has granted us a first lien or collateralized interest in a participating mortgage collateralized by the property or by interests in the entity that owns the property. Our loans generally require fixed interest payments. We expect that the interest rate and terms for long-term mortgage loans (generally, 10 to 20 years) will be similar to the rate of return on our long-term net leases. Mezzanine loans and other financings for which we have a secondary-lien or collateralized interest will generally have shorter terms (one to two years) and higher interest rates than our net leases and long-term mortgage loans. With respect to the loans that we make, we generally seek loans with collateral values resulting in a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 85%.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

In 2011 we completed our common stock offerings and filed a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, to register the sale of up to an additional $250 million (26.3 million shares of common stock) under our Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”). Shares were originally sold under DRP at a price of $9.50 per share, representing a 5% discount from our public offering price of $10.00. In August 2012, the DRP shares were offered at $6.95, which represented a 5% discount to our estimated NAV of $7.31 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we raised approximately $54.9 million, $69.0 million and $83.5 million, respectively, through our DRP. In March 2014, our Board of Directors approved a

Table of Contents

revised estimate of NAV of $6.85 per share as of December 31, 2013 and amended our DRP so that shares under our DRP would be sold at the new estimated NAV per share of $6.85 rather than a discount to the NAV. See “Part II – Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” for additional information. We anticipate we will continue to raise capital through our DRP and will use such proceeds for acquisitions and enhancements, distributions shortfalls and other corporate purposes.

Our Disposition Policies

As a mature REIT, a significant focus is to actively manage our assets and reinvest in our existing properties in order to maximize growth in rental income and property operating incomeWe are evaluating each of our properties on a rigorous and ongoing basis and in an effort to optimize and enhance the value of our assets, and we may consider selling certain properties in preparation for one or more liquidity events, as further described below. The determination of when a particular property should be sold will be made after our Board of Directors considered all the relevant factors, including but not limited to the strategic fit of each property within our broader portfolio, prevailing and projected economic and market conditions, whether the value of the property is anticipated to appreciate or decline in the future, whether the property is performing as expected and required holding periods necessary to comply with REIT requirements. To the extent we determine to sell certain assets, we will evaluate these assets for impairment in accordance with our accounting policy. We anticipate that proceeds from any future sales will be used to retire debts, invest into new assets or to enhance existing assets. We will also continue to reposition certain assets by making strategic tenant or operator changes for properties that we believe will benefit from a new operator based on specific expertise or geographic concentrations that a particular operator possesses.

Our Exit Strategy

Under our articles of incorporation, on or before December 31, 2015, the Company will undertake to provide stockholders with liquidity of their investment, either in whole or in part, including, without limitation, through (i) the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange (a “Listing”), (ii) the commencement of an orderly sale of the Company’s assets, outside of the ordinary course of business and consistent with the Company’s objectives of qualifying as a REIT, and the distribution of the net sales proceeds thereof to the stockholders or (iii) the merger of the Company with or into another entity in a transaction which provides the stockholders with cash or securities of a publicly traded company. If a Listing occurs, we will automatically become a perpetual life entity. In making a determination of whether Listing is in the best interest of our stockholders, our Board of Directors may consider a variety of criteria, including, but not limited to, market capitalization, the number of properties owned, portfolio diversification, portfolio performance, our financial condition, potential access to capital as a listed company, and the potential for stockholder liquidity. We may sell certain assets or portfolios of assets prior to full liquidity of the Company and use such proceeds in the interim to repay debt or make certain strategic investments. Additionally, our debt agreements, including our unsecured senior notes, contains provisions which restrict or limit distributions to shareholders prior to such debt being repaid.

We will seek to maximize the total value of our portfolio in connection with our evaluation of various strategic opportunities in preparation for an exit strategy on or before December 31, 2015. In March 2014, we engaged Jefferies LLC, a leading global investment banking and advisory firm, to assist management and the board of directors in actively evaluating various strategic opportunities including the sale of either us or our assets, potential merger opportunities, or the Listing of our common stock.

Termination and REIT Status

Our articles of incorporation provide that the Board of Directors shall use its best efforts to take such actions as are necessary, and may take such actions as it deems desirable, to preserve the status of the Company as a REIT. However, in the event that the Board of Directors determines, by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors, that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to remain qualified as a REIT, the Board of Directors shall cause the termination of the Company’s qualification as a REIT to be submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. The stockholders may terminate the Company’s status as a REIT by a vote of holders of majority of our shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Our articles of incorporation also provide for the Company’s voluntary termination and dissolution by the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Under Maryland law, the Company’s voluntary termination and dissolution must also be declared advisable by a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

Competition

As a REIT, we have historically experienced competition from other REITs (both traded and non-traded), real estate partnerships, mutual funds, institutional investors, specialty finance companies, opportunity funds, healthcare providers, and other investors, including, but not limited to, banks and insurance companies, many of which generally have had greater financial resources than we do for the purposes of leasing and financing properties within our targeted asset classes. These competitors often may also have a lower cost of capital and may be subject to less regulation. The level of competition impacts both our ability to raise capital, find real estate investments and locate suitable tenants. We may also face competition from other funds in which affiliates of our Advisor participate or advise.

In general, we perceive there to be a lower level of competition for the types of assets that we have acquired and intend to acquire in comparison to assets in more core real estate sectors based on the number of willing buyers and the volume of transactions in their respective markets. Accordingly, we believe that being focused in specialty or lifestyle asset classes allows us to take advantage of unique opportunities although it may also make it challenging for us to sell our properties. Some of our key competitive advantages are as follows:

 

    We acquire assets in niche sectors which historically trade at higher cap rates than other core commercial real estate sectors such as multi-family, industrial, office and retail.

 

    Some of our targeted asset classes have experienced a net reduction in new supply, which has positively impacted supply and demand dynamics.

 

    Certain of our lifestyle properties have inherently high barriers to entry. For example, the process of obtaining permits to create a new ski resort or marina is highly regulated and significantly more difficult than obtaining permits for the construction of new office or retail space. Additionally, general geographic constraints, such as the availability of suitable waterfront property or mountain terrain, are an inherent barrier to entry in several of our asset classes. There are also high costs associated with building a new ski resort, marina or regional gated attractions that may be prohibitive to potential market participants.

 

    Our leasing arrangements generally require the payment of capital improvement reserve rent which is paid by the tenants and set aside by us to be reinvested into the properties. This arrangement allows us to maintain the integrity of our properties and mitigates deferred maintenance issues.

 

    Unlike our competitors in many other commercial real estate sectors that generally receive no income in the event a tenant defaults or vacates a property, applicable tax laws allow us to engage a third-party manager to operate a property on our behalf for a period of time until we can re-lease it to a new tenant. During that period, we receive any net earnings from the underlying business operations, which may be less than rents collected under the previous leasing arrangement. However, our ability to continue to operate the property under such an arrangement helps to off-set taxes, insurance and other operating costs that would otherwise have to be absorbed by a landlord and allows the property some time to stabilize, if necessary, before entering into a new lease.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

We have determined that we operate in one business segment, real estate ownership, which consists of investing in and owning a diversified portfolio of real estate primarily within the United States. We view, manage and evaluate all of our lifestyle properties homogeneously as one collection of assets with a common goal to maximize revenues and property income regardless of the type (ski, attractions, senior housing, etc.) or ownership structure (leased or managed). Our chief operating decision maker reviews all of our properties as one consolidated portfolio and does not drive resource allocation decisions based on individual property or groups of properties. In addition, we evaluated each individual property and determined they were individually less than 10% of the combined revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, we do not report segment information.

Advisory Services

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our Advisor is responsible for our day-to-day operations, administers our bookkeeping and accounting functions, serves as our consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by our Board of Directors, manages our properties, loans, and other permitted investments and renders other services as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. In addition, the Advisor engages and contracts with certain of its affiliates to provide services and personnel to the Company. In exchange for these services, our Advisor is entitled to receive certain fees from us. First, for supervision and day-to-day management of the properties and the mortgage loans, our Advisor receives an asset management fee, which is payable monthly, based on the total real estate asset value of a property as defined in the advisory agreement (exclusive of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses), the outstanding principal amounts of any loans made by us and the amount invested in any other permitted investments as of the end of the preceding month. Second, for the selection, purchase, financing, development, construction or renovation of real properties and services related to the incurrence of debt, our Advisor receives an acquisition fee equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from our common stock offerings and loan proceeds from debt, lines of credit and other permanent financing that we use to acquire properties or to make or acquire loans and other permitted investments.

In March 2014, our Advisor amended the advisory agreement, effective April 1, 2014, to eliminate acquisition fees on equity, performance fees, debt acquisition fees and disposition fees, and to reduce the asset management fees to 0.075% monthly (or 0.90% annually) of average invested assets. Our Advisor will consider further reductions in the asset management fees if we have not materially begun to execute an exit event or events before April 1, 2015.

In addition, we reimburse our Advisor for all of the costs it incurs in connection with the administrative services it provides to us. However, in accordance with the advisory agreement, our Advisor is required to reimburse us for the amount by which the total operating expenses (as described in the advisory agreement) incurred by us in any four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Expense Year”) exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (the “Expense Cap”). For the Expense Years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, operating expenses did not exceed the Expense Cap.

Legal and Regulatory Considerations

General. Our properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas. We believe that each of our properties as of December 31, 2013 has the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business.

Americans with Disabilities Act. Our U.S. properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We are not aware of any material noncompliance with the ADA. However, noncompliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this respect. See “Risk Factors – Real Estate and Other Investment Risks – We may incur significant costs complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Similar Laws.”

Environmental, Health, and Safety Matters. We are subject to many federal, state, and local environmental, health, and safety laws. The applicability of specific environmental, health, and, safety laws to each of our individual properties is dependent upon a number of property-specific factors, including: the current and former uses of the property; any impacts to the property from other properties; the type and amount of any emissions or discharges from or releases at the property; the building materials used at the property, including any asbestos-containing materials; and the type and amount of any hazardous substances or wastes used, stored, or generated at the property.

Under various laws relating to protection of the environment, current and former owners and operators of real property may be liable for any contamination resulting from the presence or release of hazardous or toxic substances at the property. Current and former owners and operators may also be held liable to the government or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and remediation costs related to contamination, regardless of

 

10


Table of Contents

whether the owners and operators were responsible for or even knew of the contamination, and the liability may be joint and several. The government may be entitled to a lien on a contaminated property. Certain environmental laws, as well as the common law, may subject us to liability for damages or injuries suffered by third parties as a result of environmental contamination or releases originating at our properties, including releases of asbestos, and the liabilities associated with our properties could exceed the values of the respective properties. Some of our properties were previously used for industrial purposes, and those properties may contain some degree of contamination. Environmental impacts or contamination at our properties may prevent us from selling or leasing the properties or using them as collateral. Environmental laws may regulate the use of our properties or the types of operations which can be conducted at our properties, and these regulations may necessitate corrective or other expenditures.

Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials. Asbestos-containing building materials are subject to management and maintenance requirements under environmental laws, and owners and operators may be subject to penalty for noncompliance. Environmental laws may allow suits by third parties for recovery from owners and operators for personal injury related to exposure to asbestos-containing building materials.

Prior to the purchase of our properties, we generally engage independent environmental consultants to perform Phase I environmental assessments, which normally do not involve soil, groundwater or other invasive sampling. When Phase I environmental assessment results indicated the need to do so, we conducted Phase II assessments, which do involve invasive sampling. These assessments have not revealed any materially adverse environmental conditions which impact or have impacted our properties other than conditions which have been remediated or are currently undergoing remediation. There can be no assurance, however, that new environmental liabilities have not developed since the assessments were performed, that the assessment failed to reveal material adverse environmental conditions, liabilities, or compliance concerns, or that future developments, including changes in laws or regulations, will not impose environmental costs or liabilities upon us. If we become subject to material environmental liabilities, these liabilities could adversely affect us, our business and assets, the results of our operations, and our ability to meet our obligations.

Insurance. We maintain, or cause operators to maintain, insurance including, but not limited to, liability, fire, wind, earthquake, and business income coverage on all of our properties that are not being leased on a triple-net basis under various policies. We select policy specifications and insured limits which we believe to be appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in the opinion of our company’s management, our properties that are not being leased on a triple-net basis are currently adequately insured. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from war or nuclear reaction. Certain of our properties are located in areas known to be seismically active. See “Risk Factors—Real Estate and Other Investment Risks—Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.”

Government Regulation of Senior Housing. Senior housing communities are subject to relatively few, if any, federal regulations. Instead, to the extent they are regulated, the regulation is conducted mainly by state and local laws governing licensure, provision of services, staffing requirements and other operational matters. These state laws vary, however, most states require senior housing facilities to be licensed and to undergo planned and unplanned inspections. Typical state regulation provides that administrators and staff must have adequate education, demonstrated experience and attend ongoing training. In addition, state senior housing regulations generally require that the facility must demonstrate the ability to maintain overall operations while providing quality care, services and 24-hour supervision and oversight. In most states, senior housing communities are also subject to state or local building codes, fire codes, and food service licensing or certification requirements.

Federal regulation of senior housing is indirect through the regulation of the receipt of Medicare and Medicaid payments. Medicare and Medicaid payments may be subject to statutory and regulatory changes, retroactive rate adjustments, recovery of program overpayments or set-offs, administrative rulings, policy interpretations, payment or other delays by fiscal intermediaries, government funding restrictions (at a program level or with respect to specific facilities) and interruption or delays in payments due to any ongoing governmental investigations and audits at such property.

Taxation

The following summary of the taxation of the Company and the material federal tax consequences to the holders of our debt and equity securities (“securities”) is for general information only and is not tax advice. This summary does not address all aspects of taxation that may be relevant to certain types of holders of stock or securities (including, but not limited to, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, financial institutions or broker-dealers, persons holding our securities as part of a hedging, integrated conversion, or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, traders in securities that use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, investors in pass-through entities and foreign corporations and persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States).

This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant in light of a particular investment or other circumstances. In addition, this summary does not discuss any state or local income taxation or foreign income taxation or other tax consequences. This summary is based on current U.S. federal income tax law. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities as set forth in this summary.

General. We elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and have operated in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual operating results, distribution levels, diversity of share ownership and various qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Our ability to qualify as a REIT also requires that we satisfy certain asset tests (discussed below), some of which depend upon the fair market values of assets directly or indirectly owned by us. Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. While we intend to continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any taxable year will satisfy such requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.

In any year in which we qualify as a REIT, in general, we will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our taxable income or capital gain that is distributed as taxable dividends to stockholders. This substantially eliminates the federal double taxation on earnings (taxation at both the corporate level and stockholder level) that usually results from an investment in a corporation. We may, however, be subject to tax at normal corporate rates on any taxable income or capital gain not distributed. If we elect to retain and pay income tax on our net long-term capital gain, stockholders are required to include their proportionate share of our undistributed long-term capital gain in income and they will receive a refundable credit for their share of any taxes paid by us on such gain.

Despite our REIT election, we may be subject to federal income and excise tax as follows:

 

    To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our taxable income, we will be subject to tax on the undistributed amount at regular corporate tax rates;

 

    We may be subject to the “alternative minimum tax” (the “AMT”) on certain tax preference items to the extent that the AMT exceeds our regular tax;

 

    To the extent we have elected to treat property that we acquire in connection with a foreclosure of a mortgage loan or certain lease terminations as “foreclosure property”, we may avoid the 100% tax on gain from a sale of that property (if the sale would otherwise constitute a prohibited transaction). The taxable income and gain from the sale of foreclosure property, however, may be subject to corporate income tax at the highest applicable rate.

 

12


Table of Contents
    Any net gain for tax purposes from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, other than dispositions of foreclosure property and dispositions of property due to an involuntary conversion) will be subject to a 100% tax;

 

    If we derive “excess inclusion income” from an interest in certain mortgage loan securitization structures (i.e. a “taxable mortgage pool” or a residual interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit, or “REMIC”), then we could be subject to corporate level federal income tax at the highest corporate tax rate to the extent that such income is allocable to specified types of tax-exempt stockholders known as “disqualified organizations” that are not subject to unrelated business income tax;

 

    If we fail to satisfy the asset test other than certain de minimis violations or other requirements applicable to REITs, as described below, yet nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because there is reasonable cause for the failure and other applicable requirements are met, we may be subject to an excise tax. In that case, the amount of the tax will be at least $50,000 per failure, and, in the case of certain asset test failures, will be determined as the amount of net income generated by the assets in question multiplied by the highest corporate tax rate if that amount exceeds $50,000 per failure;

 

    If we fail to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income tests (as discussed below), but nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements are met, we will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount based on the magnitude of the failure, as adjusted to reflect the profit margin associated with our gross income;

 

    If we fail to distribute during each year at least the sum of (1) 85% of our taxable income for the year, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income for such year, and (3) any undistributed taxable income from preceding periods, we will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the sum of (A) the amounts actually distributed, plus (B) retained amounts on which corporate level tax is paid by us;

 

    If we acquired appreciated assets from a C corporation that is not a REIT (i.e. a corporation generally subject to corporate level tax) in a transaction in which a C corporation would not normally be required to recognize any gain or loss on disposition of the asset and we subsequently recognize gain on the disposition of the asset during the ten-year period beginning on the date on which we acquired the asset, then a portion of the gain may be subject to tax at the highest regular corporate rate, unless the C corporation made an election to treat the asset as if it were sold for its fair market value at the time of our acquisition. We will also be required to distribute prior non-REIT earnings and profits; and

 

    The earnings of our TRSs are subject to federal corporate income tax. In addition, a 100% excise tax will be imposed on the REIT and corporate level tax on the TRS for transactions between a TRS and the REIT that are deemed not to have been conducted on an arm’s length basis. See “— Qualification as a REIT — Investments in TRSs.”

In addition, we and our subsidiaries may be subject to a variety of taxes, including payroll taxes and state, local, foreign, property and other taxes, on our assets and operations. We could also be subject to tax in situations and on transactions not presently contemplated.

Qualification as a REIT. A REIT is defined as a corporation, trust or association:

 

  (1) which is managed by one or more trustees or directors;

 

  (2) the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable shares or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;

 

13


Table of Contents
  (3) which would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for the federal income tax law relating to REITs;

 

  (4) which uses a calendar year for federal income tax purposes;

 

  (5) which is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company;

 

  (6) the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons in each taxable year of the REIT except for its first taxable year;

 

  (7) not more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock of which is owned during the last half of each taxable year, excluding its first taxable year, directly or indirectly, by or for five or fewer individuals (which includes certain entities) (the “Five or Fewer Requirement”); and

 

  (8) which meets certain income and asset tests described below.

Conditions (1) to (5), inclusive, must be met during the entire taxable year and condition (6) must be met during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months. For purposes of conditions (6) and (7), pension funds and certain other tax-exempt entities are treated as individuals, subject to a “look-through” exception in the case of condition (7).

Based on available information, we believe we have satisfied the share ownership requirements set forth in (6) and (7) above. In addition, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, provides for restrictions regarding ownership and transfer of shares. These restrictions are intended to assist us in continuing to satisfy the share ownership requirements described in (6) and (7) above. These restrictions, however, may not ensure that we will, in all cases, be able to satisfy the share ownership requirements described in (6) and (7) above.

We have complied with, and will continue to comply with, regulatory rules to send annual letters to certain of our stockholders requesting information regarding the actual ownership of our stock. If, despite sending the annual letters, we do not know, or after exercising reasonable diligence would not have known, whether we failed to meet the Five or Fewer Requirement, we will be treated as having met the Five or Fewer Requirement. If we fail to comply with these regulatory rules, we will be subject to a monetary penalty. If our failure to comply was due to intentional disregard of the requirement, the penalty would be increased. However, if our failure to comply were due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, no penalty would be imposed.

Ownership of Qualified REIT Subsidiaries. We may own a number of properties through wholly owned subsidiaries. A corporation will qualify as a qualified REIT subsidiary (or “QRS”) if 100% of its stock is owned by a REIT, and the REIT does not elect to treat the subsidiary as a TRS. A QRS will not be treated as a separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deductions and credits of a QRS will be treated as assets, liabilities and items (as the case may be) of the REIT. A QRS is not subject to federal income tax, although they may be subject to state and local taxation in certain jurisdictions, and our ownership of the voting stock of a QRS will not violate the restrictions against ownership of securities of any one issuer which constitute more than 10% of the value or total voting power of such issuer or more than 5% of the value of our total assets, as described below under “— Asset Tests.”

Ownership of Partnership Interests. If we invest in a partnership, a limited liability company or a trust taxed as a partnership or as a disregarded entity, we will be deemed to own a proportionate share of the partnership’s, limited liability company’s or trust’s assets. Likewise, we will be treated as receiving our share of the income and loss of the partnership, limited liability company or trust, and the gross income will retain the same character in our hands as it has in the hands of the partnership, limited liability company or trust. These “look-through” rules apply for purposes of the income tests and assets tests described below. Thus, our proportionate share of the assets and items of gross income of our operating partnership, including its share of such items of any subsidiaries that are partnerships or limited liability companies that have not elected to be treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are treated as assets and items of gross income of the Company for purposes of applying the requirements described herein.

Table of Contents

Investments in TRSs. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, REITs may own more than 10% of the voting power and value of securities in TRSs. We and any taxable corporate entity in which we own an interest are allowed to jointly elect to treat such entity as a TRS.

Certain of our subsidiaries have elected to be treated as a TRS. TRSs are subject to full corporate level federal taxation on their earnings but are permitted to engage in certain types of activities that cannot be performed directly by REITs without jeopardizing REIT status. Our TRSs will attempt to minimize the amount of these taxes, but there can be no assurance whether or the extent to which measures taken to minimize taxes will be successful. To the extent our TRSs are required to pay federal, state or local taxes, the cash available for distribution as dividends to us from our TRSs will be reduced.

The amount of interest on related-party debt that a TRS may deduct is limited. Further, a 100% tax applies to any interest payments by a TRS to its affiliated REIT to the extent the interest rate is not commercially reasonable. A TRS is permitted to deduct interest payments to unrelated parties without restriction.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may reallocate costs between a REIT and its TRS where there is a lack of arm’s-length dealing between the parties. Any deductible expenses allocated away from a TRS would increase its tax liability. Further, any amount by which a REIT understates its deductions and overstates those of its TRS will, subject to certain exceptions, be subject to a 100% tax. Additional TRS elections may be made in the future for additional entities in which we own an interest.

Income Tests. There are two separate percentage tests relating to our sources of gross income that we must satisfy for each taxable year.

 

    At least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property and from other specified sources, including qualified temporary investment income. Gross income includes “rents from real property” and, in some circumstances, interest, but excludes gross income from prohibited transactions.

 

    At least 95% of our gross income must be derived directly or indirectly each taxable year from any of the sources qualifying for the 75% gross income test and from dividends (including dividends from TRSs) and interest.

Rents received by us will qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of satisfying the gross income tests for a REIT only if several conditions are met:

 

    The amount of rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person, although rents generally will not be excluded merely because they are based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales.

 

    Rents received from a tenant will not qualify as rents from real property if the REIT, or an owner of 10% or more of the REIT, also directly or constructively owns 10% or more of the tenant, unless the tenant is our TRS and certain other requirements are met with respect to the real property being rented.

 

    If rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease, then the portion of rent attributable to such personal property will not qualify as “rents from real property.”

 

   

For rents to qualify as rents from real property, we generally must not furnish or render services to tenants, other than through a TRS or an “independent contractor” from whom we derive no income, except that we may directly provide services that are “usually or customarily rendered” in the geographic area in which the property is located in connection with the rental of real property for occupancy only, or are not otherwise considered “rendered to the occupant for his convenience.” If the services provided by us with respect to a property are impermissible customer services, the income

 

15


Table of Contents
 

derived there from will qualify as “rents from real property” if such income does not exceed 1% of all amounts received or accrued with respect to that property. The amount received for any service or management operation for this purpose shall be deemed to be not less than 150% of the direct cost of the REIT in furnishing or rendering the service or providing the management or operation.

 

    A REIT may lease “qualified lodging facilities” and, for taxable years beginning after July 30, 2008, “qualified health care properties” on an arm’s-length basis to a TRS if the property is operated on behalf of such subsidiary by a person who qualifies as an “eligible independent contractor,” which generally is an “independent contractor” and who is, or is related to a person who is, actively engaged in the trade or business of operating qualified lodging facilities or qualified health care facilities, as applicable, for any person unrelated to us or our TRS. Generally, the rent that the REIT receives from the TRS will be treated as “rents from real property” notwithstanding the limit on 10% owned tenants described above. A “qualified lodging facility” is a hotel, motel or other establishment where more than one-half of the dwelling units in which are used on a transient basis, unless wagering activities are conducted at or in connection with such facility. A “qualified health care property” includes real property and any personal property that is, or is necessary or incidental to the use of, a hospital, nursing facility, assisted living facility, congregate care facility, qualified continuing care facility, or other licensed facility which extends medical or nursing or ancillary services to patients and which is operated by a provider of such services which is eligible for participation in the Medicare program with respect to such facility.

Interest income constitutes qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the 75% income test to the extent that the obligation upon which such interest is paid is secured by a mortgage on real property. If we receive interest income with respect to a mortgage loan that is secured by both real property and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value of the real property on the date that we acquired or originated the mortgage loan, the interest income will be apportioned between the real property and the other collateral, and our income from the arrangement will qualify for purposes of the 75% income test only to the extent that the interest is allocable to the real property. Even if a loan is not secured by real property, or is undersecured, the income that it generates may nonetheless qualify for purposes of the 95% income test. The term “interest” generally does not include any amount if the determination of the amount depends in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person, although an amount generally will not be excluded from the term “interest” solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage of receipts or sales.

We may, from time to time, enter into hedging transactions with respect to interest rate exposure or currency fluctuation on one or more of our assets or liabilities. For taxable years beginning on or before October 22, 2004, (1) payments to us under an interest rate swap or cap agreement, option, futures contract, forward rate agreement or any similar financial instrument entered into by us to reduce interest rate risk on indebtedness incurred or to be incurred and (2) gain from the sale or other disposition of any such investment are treated as income qualifying under the 95% gross income test. For transactions entered into after July 30, 2008, any of our income from a clearly identified hedging transaction that is entered into by us in the normal course of business, directly or indirectly, to manage the risk of interest rate movements, price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings or obligations incurred or to be incurred by us, or such other risks that are prescribed by the IRS, is excluded from the 95% and 75% gross income tests. In general, a hedging transaction is “clearly identified” if (1) the transaction is identified as a hedging transaction before the end of the day on which it is entered into and (2) the items or risks being hedged are identified “substantially contemporaneously” with the hedging transaction. An identification is not substantially contemporaneous if it is made more than 35 days after entering into the hedging transaction.

As to gains and items of income recognized after July 30, 2008, “passive foreign exchange gain” for any taxable year will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test and “real estate foreign exchange gain” for any taxable year will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. Real estate foreign exchange gain is foreign currency gain (as defined in Code section 988(b)(1)) which is attributable to: (i) any qualifying item of income or gain for purposes of the 75% gross income test; (ii) the acquisition or ownership of obligations secured by mortgages on real property or interests in real property; or (iii) becoming or being the obligor under obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property. Real estate foreign exchange gain also includes Code section 987 gain attributable to a qualified business unit (a “QBU”) of a REIT if the QBU itself meets the 75% income test for the taxable year and the 75% asset test at the close of each quarter that the REIT has directly or indirectly held the QBU. Real estate foreign exchange gain also includes any other foreign

 

16


Table of Contents

currency gain as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury. Passive foreign exchange gain includes all real estate foreign exchange gain and foreign currency gain which is attributable to: (i) any qualifying item of income or gain for purposes of the 95% gross income test; (ii) the acquisition or ownership of obligations; (iii) becoming or being the obligor under obligations; and (iv) any other foreign currency gain as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Generally, other than income from clearly identified hedging transactions entered into by us in the normal course of business, any foreign currency gain derived by us from dealing, or engaging in substantial and regular trading, in securities will constitute gross income which does not qualify under the 95% or 75% gross income tests.

License income and other income from the right to use property which is not properly characterized as a lease for federal income tax purposes will not qualify under either the 75% or 95% gross income tests.

Income from sales of property by a REIT which are held for sale to customers may be subject to a 100% prohibited transactions tax and do not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. A safe harbor to the characterization of the sale of property by a REIT as a prohibited transaction and the 100% prohibited transaction tax is available if the following requirements are met:

 

    the REIT has held the property for at least two years for the production of rental income;

 

    the aggregate expenditures made by the REIT, or any partner of the REIT, during the two-year period preceding the date of the sale that are includable in the basis of the property do not exceed 30% of the net selling price of the property;

 

    either (i) during the year in question, the REIT did not make more than seven sales of property other than foreclosure property or Section 1031 like-kind exchanges, or (ii) the aggregate adjusted bases of the non-foreclosure property sold by the REIT during the year did not exceed 10% of the aggregate bases of all of the assets of the REIT at the beginning of such year, or (iii) the fair market value of the non-foreclosure property sold by the REIT during the year did not exceed 10% of the fair market value of all the assets of the REIT at the beginning of such year; and

 

    if the REIT has made more than seven sales of non-foreclosure property during the year, substantially all of the marketing and development expenditures with respect to the property were made through an independent contractor from whom the REIT derives no income.

For purposes of the limitation on the number of sales that a REIT may complete in any given year, the sale of more than one property to one buyer will be treated as one sale. Moreover, if a REIT obtains replacement property pursuant to a Section 1031 like-kind exchange, then it will be entitled to take the holding period it has in the relinquished property for purposes of the two-year holding period requirement. The failure of a sale to fall within the safe harbor does not alone cause such sale to be a prohibited transaction subject to the 100% tax. In that event, the particular facts and circumstances of the transaction must be analyzed to determine whether it is a prohibited transaction.

Properties we acquire for the purpose of developing and selling to third parties, such as certain interests in vacation ownership properties, are generally held by us through a TRS and subject to corporate level taxes. Net after-tax income of a TRS may be distributed to us and will be qualifying income for purposes of the 95% but not the 75% gross income test.

If a REIT acquires real property and personal property incident to such real property through a foreclosure or similar process following a default on a lease of such property or a default on indebtedness owed to the REIT that is secured by the property, and if the REIT makes a timely election to treat such property as “foreclosure property” under applicable provisions of the Code, net income (including any foreign currency gain) the REIT realizes from such property generally will be subject to tax at the maximum U.S. federal corporate income tax rate, regardless of whether the REIT distributes such income to its shareholders currently. However, such income will nonetheless qualify for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests even if it would not otherwise be qualifying income for such purposes in the absence of the foreclosure property election.

If we fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, we may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for such year if we are eligible for relief. For taxable years beginning on or before October 22, 2004, these relief provisions generally will be available if: (1) our failure to meet such tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect; (2) we attach a schedule of the sources of our income to our return; and (3) any incorrect information on the schedule was not due to fraud with intent to evade tax. For taxable years beginning after October 22, 2004, these relief provisions generally will be available if (1) following our identification of the failure, we file a schedule for such taxable year describing each item of our gross income, and (2) the failure to meet such tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect.

It is not now possible to determine the circumstances under which we may be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions. If these relief provisions apply, a 100% tax is imposed on an amount equal to (a) the gross income attributable to (1) 75% of our gross income over the amount of qualifying gross income for purposes of the 75% income test and (2) 95% of our gross income (90% of our gross income for taxable years beginning on or before October 22, 2004) over the amount of qualifying gross income for purposes of the 95% income test, multiplied by (b) a fraction intended to reflect our profitability.

The Secretary of the Treasury is given broad authority to determine whether particular items of income or gain qualify or not under the 75% and 95% gross income tests, or are to be excluded from the measure of gross income for such purposes.

Asset Tests. Within 30 days after the close of each quarter of our taxable year, we must also satisfy several tests relating to the nature and diversification of our assets determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. At least 75% of the value of our total assets must be represented by real estate assets, cash, cash items (including receivables arising in the ordinary course of our operation), government securities and qualified temporary investments. The term “real estate assets” includes real property, interests in real property, leaseholds of land or improvements, mortgages on real property, shares of common stock in other qualified U.S. REITs, any property attributable to the temporary investment of new capital (but only if such property is stock or a debt instrument and only for the one-year period beginning on the date the REIT receives such capital), and a proportionate share of any real estate assets owned by a partnership in which we are a partner. When a mortgage is secured by both real property and other property, it is considered to constitute a mortgage on real property to the extent of the fair market value of the real property when the REIT is committed to originate the loan or, in the case of a construction loan, the reasonably estimated cost of construction.

Although 25% of our assets generally may be invested without regard to the above restrictions, we are prohibited from owning securities representing more than 10% of either the vote (the “10% vote test”) or value (the “10% value test”) of the outstanding securities of any issuer other than a QRS, another REIT or a TRS. Further, no more than 25% of the total assets may be represented by securities of one or more TRSs (the “25% asset test”) and no more than 5% of the value of our total assets may be represented by securities of any non-governmental issuer other than a QRS (the “5% asset test”), another REIT or a TRS. Each of the 10% vote test, the 10% value test and the 25% and 5% asset tests must be satisfied at the end of each quarter. There are special rules which provide relief if the value related tests are not satisfied due to changes in the value of the assets of a REIT.

Certain items are excluded from the 10% value test, including: (1) straight debt securities of an issuer (including straight debt that provides certain contingent payments); (2) any loan to an individual or an estate; (3) any rental agreement described in Section 467 of the Code, other than with a “related person”; (4) any obligation to pay rents from real property; (5) certain securities issued by a state or any subdivision thereof, the District of Columbia, a foreign government, or any political subdivision thereof, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; (6) any security issued by a REIT; and (7) any other arrangement that, as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, is excerpted from the definition of security (“excluded securities”). Special rules apply to straight debt securities issued by corporations and entities taxable as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. If a REIT, or its TRS, holds (1) straight debt securities of a corporate or partnership issuer and (2) securities of such issuer that are not excluded securities and have an aggregate value greater than 1% of such issuer’s outstanding securities, the straight debt securities will be included in the 10% value test.

A REIT’s interest as a partner in a partnership is not treated as a security for purposes of applying the 10% value test to securities issued by the partnership. Further, any debt instrument issued by a partnership will not be a security for purposes of applying the 10% value test (1) to the extent of the REIT’s interest as a partner in the partnership and

(2) if at least 75% of the partnership’s gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) would qualify for the 75% gross income test. For taxable years beginning after October 22, 2004, for purposes of the 10% value test, a REIT’s interest in a partnership’s assets is determined by the REIT’s proportionate interest in any securities issued by the partnership (other than the excluded securities described in the preceding paragraph).

For taxable years beginning after July 30, 2008, if the REIT or its QBU uses a foreign currency as its functional currency, the term “cash” includes such foreign currency, but only to the extent such foreign currency is (i) held for use in the normal course of the activities of the REIT or QBU which give rise to items of income or gain that are included in the 95% and 75% gross income tests or are directly related to acquiring or holding assets qualifying under the 75% asset test, and (ii) not held in connection with dealing or engaging in substantial and regular trading in securities.

With respect to corrections of failures for which the requirements for corrections are satisfied after October 22, 2004, regardless of whether such failures occurred in taxable years beginning on, before or after such date, as to violations of the 10% vote test, the 10% value test or the 5% asset test, a REIT may avoid disqualification as a REIT by disposing of sufficient assets to cure a violation that does not exceed the lesser of 1% of the REIT’s assets at the end of the relevant quarter or $10,000,000, provided that the disposition occurs within six months following the last day of the quarter in which the REIT first identified the violation. For violations of any of the REIT asset tests due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect that exceed the thresholds described in the preceding sentence, a REIT can avoid disqualification as a REIT after the close of a taxable quarter by taking certain steps, including disposition of sufficient assets within the six month period described above to meet the applicable asset test, paying a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest corporate tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the non-qualifying assets during the period of time that the assets were held as non-qualifying assets and filing a schedule with the IRS that describes the non-qualifying assets.

Annual Distribution Requirements. In order to avoid being taxed as a regular corporation, we are required to make cash or taxable property distributions to our stockholders which qualify for the dividends paid deduction in an amount at least equal to (1) the sum of (i) 90% of our taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain) and (ii) 90% of the after-tax net income, if any, from foreclosure property, minus (2) a portion of certain items of non-cash income. These distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before we timely file our tax return for that year and if paid on or before the first regular distribution payment after such declaration. Dividends we declare in October, November, or December of any year and which are payable to a stockholder of record on a specified date in any of these months will be treated as both paid by us and received by the stockholder on December 31 of that year, provided we actually pay the dividend on or before January 31 of the following year. The amount distributed must not be preferential. This means that every stockholder of the class of stock to which a distribution is made must be treated the same as every other stockholder of that class, and no class of stock may be treated otherwise than in accordance with its dividend rights as a class. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our taxable income, we will be subject to tax on the undistributed amount at regular corporate tax rates. Finally, as discussed above, we may be subject to an excise tax if we fail to meet certain other distribution requirements. We intend to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy these annual distribution requirements.

It is possible that, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the 90% distribution requirement, or to distribute such greater amount as may be necessary to avoid income and excise taxation, due to, among other things, (1) timing differences between (i) the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses and (ii) the inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in arriving at our taxable income, or (2) the payment of severance benefits that may not be deductible to us. For example, in the event of the default or financial failure of one or more tenants, we might be required to continue to accrue rent for some period of time under federal income tax principles even though we would not currently be receiving the corresponding amounts of cash. Similarly, under federal income tax principles, we might not be entitled to deduct certain expenses at the time those expenses are incurred. In either case, our cash available for making distributions might not be sufficient to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement. If the cash available to us is insufficient, we might raise cash in order to make the distributions by borrowing funds, issuing new securities or selling assets. In the event that timing differences occur, we may find it necessary to arrange for borrowings or, if possible, pay dividends in the form of taxable stock dividends in order to meet the distribution requirement.

Under certain circumstances, in the event of a deficiency determined by the IRS, we may be able to rectify a resulting failure to meet the distribution requirement for a year by paying “deficiency dividends” to stockholders in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for distributions paid for the earlier year. Thus, we may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends; however, we will be required to pay applicable penalties and interest based upon the amount of any deduction taken for deficiency dividend distributions.

Failure to Qualify as a REIT

If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT will not be deductible nor will any particular amount of distributions be required to be made in any year. All distributions to stockholders will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits allocable to these distributions. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we also will be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to statutory relief. Failure to qualify for even one year could result in our need to incur indebtedness or liquidate investments in order to pay potentially significant resulting tax liabilities. In addition, a failure by us to qualify as a REIT could significantly reduce the cash available to pay dividends on our common shares and interest on debt securities, and could materially reduce the value of our common share and debt securities.

In addition to the relief described above under “— Income Tests” and “— Asset Tests,” relief is available in the event that we violate a provision of the Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT if: (1) the violation is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect; (2) we pay a penalty of $50,000 for each failure to satisfy the provision; and (3) the violation does not include a violation described under “— Income Tests” or “— Asset Tests” above. It is not now possible to determine the circumstances under which we may be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Holders of Our Stock

Treatment of Taxable U.S. Stockholders. The following summary applies to you only if you are a “U.S. stockholder.” A “U.S. stockholder” means a holder of our common stock that for United States federal income tax purposes is:

 

    a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

    a corporation, partnership or other entity classified as a corporation or partnership for these purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision of the United States, including any state;

 

    an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

    a trust, if, in general, a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons, within the meaning of the Code, has the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions.

So long as we qualify for taxation as a REIT, distributions on shares of our stock made out of the current or accumulated earnings and profits allocable to these distributions (and not designated as capital gain dividends) will be includable as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. None of these distributions will be eligible for the dividends received deduction for U.S. corporate stockholders.

Generally, for taxable years ending after December 31, 2012, the maximum marginal rate of tax payable by individuals on dividends received from corporations that are subject to a corporate level of tax is 20%. In limited circumstances, this tax rate will not apply to dividends paid to you by us on our shares, because generally we are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of our taxable income or capital gains distributed to our stockholders. The reduced maximum federal income tax rate will apply to that portion, if any, of dividends received by you with respect to our shares that are attributable to: (1) dividends received by us from non-REIT corporations or other TRSs; (2) income from the prior year with respect to which we were required to pay federal corporate income tax during the prior year (if, for example, we did not distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income for the prior year); or (3) the amount of any earnings and profits that were distributed by us and accumulated in a non-REIT year.

Table of Contents

Distributions that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year), without regard to the period for which you held our stock. However, if you are a corporation, you may be required to treat a portion of some capital gain dividends as ordinary income.

If we elect to retain and pay income tax on any net long-term capital gain, you would include in income, as long-term capital gain, your proportionate share of this net long-term capital gain. You would also receive a refundable tax credit for your proportionate share of the tax paid by us on such retained capital gains, and you would have an increase in the basis of your shares of our stock in an amount equal to your includable capital gains less your share of the tax deemed paid.

You may not include in your federal income tax return any of our net operating losses or capital losses. Federal income tax rules may also require that certain minimum tax adjustments and preferences be apportioned to you. In addition, any distribution declared by us in October, November or December of any year on a specified date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by us and received by you on December 31 of that year, provided that the distribution is actually paid by us no later than January 31 of the following year.

We will be treated as having sufficient earnings and profits to treat as a dividend any distribution up to the amount required to be distributed in order to avoid imposition of the 4% excise tax discussed under “— General” and “— Qualification as a REIT — Annual Distribution Requirements” above. As a result, you may be required to treat as taxable dividends certain distributions that would otherwise result in a tax-free return of capital. Moreover, any “deficiency dividend” will be treated as a dividend (an ordinary dividend or a capital gain dividend, as the case may be), regardless of our earnings and profits. Any other distributions in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to you to the extent these distributions do not exceed the adjusted tax basis of your shares of our stock. You will be required to reduce the tax basis of your shares of our stock by the amount of these distributions until the basis has been reduced to zero, after which these distributions will be taxable as capital gain, if the shares of our stock are held as capital assets. The tax basis as so reduced will be used in computing the capital gain or loss, if any, realized upon sale of the shares of our stock. Capital losses recognized by a stockholder upon the disposition of a share of our common stock held for more than one year will be considered long-term capital losses, and are generally available only to offset capital gain income of the stockholder but not ordinary income (except in the case of individuals, trusts and estates, who may offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income each year). Any loss upon a sale or exchange of shares of our stock which were held for six months or less (after application of certain holding period rules) will generally be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent you previously received capital gain distributions with respect to these shares of our stock.

Upon the sale or exchange of any shares of our stock to or with a person other than us or a sale or exchange of all shares of our stock (whether actually or constructively owned) with us, you will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and your adjusted tax basis in these shares of our stock. This gain will be capital gain if you held these shares of our stock as a capital asset.

If we redeem any of your shares in us, the treatment can only be determined on the basis of particular facts at the time of redemption. In general, you will recognize gain or loss (as opposed to dividend income) equal to the difference between the amount received by you in the redemption and your adjusted tax basis in your shares redeemed if such redemption: (1) results in a “complete termination” of your interest in all classes of our equity securities; (2) is a “substantially disproportionate redemption”; or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to you. In applying these tests, you must take into account your ownership of all classes of our equity securities (e.g., common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants). You also must take into account any equity securities that are considered to be constructively owned by you.

If, as a result of a redemption by us of your shares, you no longer own (either actually or constructively) any of our equity securities or only own (actually and constructively) an insubstantial percentage of our equity securities, then it is probable that the redemption of your shares would be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” and, thus, would result in gain or loss to you. However, whether a distribution is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” depends on all of the facts and circumstances, and if you rely on any of these tests at the time of redemption, you should consult your tax advisor to determine their application to the particular situation.

Table of Contents

Generally, if the redemption does not meet the tests described above, then the proceeds received by you from the redemption of your shares will be treated as a distribution taxable as a dividend to the extent of the allocable portion of current or accumulated earnings and profits. If the redemption is taxed as a dividend, your adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares will be transferred to any other shareholdings in us that you own. If you own no other shareholdings in us, under certain circumstances, such basis may be transferred to a related person, or it may be lost entirely.

Gain from the sale or exchange of our shares held for more than one year is taxed at a maximum long-term capital gain rate pursuant to IRS guidance, we may classify portions of our capital gain dividends as gains eligible for the long-term capital gains rate or as gain taxable to individual stockholders.

An additional tax of 3.8% generally will be imposed on the “net investment income” of U.S. stockholders who meet certain requirements and are individuals, estates or certain trusts for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. Among other items, “net investment income” generally includes gross income from dividends and net gain attributable to the disposition of certain property, such as shares of our stock. In the case of individuals, this tax will only apply to the extent such individual’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples filing a joint return and surviving spouses, and $125,000 for married individuals filing a separate return). U.S. stockholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible applicability of this additional tax in their particular circumstances.

Treatment of Tax-Exempt U.S. Stockholders. Tax-exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and profit sharing trusts and individual retirement accounts (“Exempt Organizations”), generally are exempt from federal income taxation. These entities are, however, subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”). The IRS has issued a published revenue ruling that dividend distributions from a REIT to an exempt employee pension trust do not constitute UBTI, provided that the shares of the REIT are not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or business of the exempt employee pension trust. Based on this ruling, amounts distributed by us to Exempt Organizations generally should not constitute UBTI. However, if an Exempt Organization finances its acquisition of the shares of our stock with debt, a portion of its income from us will constitute UBTI pursuant to the “debt financed property” rules. Likewise, a portion of the Exempt Organization’s income from us would constitute UBTI if we held a residual interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit.

In addition, in certain circumstances, a pension trust that owns more than 10% of our stock is required to treat a percentage of our dividends as UBTI. This rule applies to a pension trust holding more than 10% of our stock only if: (1) the percentage of our income that is UBTI (determined as if we were a pension trust) is at least 5%; (2) we qualify as a REIT by reason of the modification of the Five or Fewer Requirement that allows beneficiaries of the pension trust to be treated as holding shares in proportion to their actuarial interests in the pension trust; and (3) either (i) one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of our stock, or (ii) a group of pension trusts individually holding more than 10% of the value of our stock collectively own more than 50% of the value of our stock.

Backup Withholding. Under certain circumstances, you may be subject to backup withholding at applicable rates on payments made with respect to, or cash proceeds of a sale or exchange of, shares of our stock. Backup withholding will apply only if you: (1) fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number, which if you are an individual, is ordinarily your social security number; (2) furnish an incorrect taxpayer identification number; (3) are notified by the IRS that you have failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or (4) fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, that you have furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified you that you are subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to certain exempt recipients, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations. You should consult with a tax advisor regarding qualification for exemption from backup withholding, and the procedure for obtaining an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding with respect to a payment to a stockholder will be allowed as a credit against such stockholder’s United States federal income tax liability and may entitle such stockholder to a refund, provided that the required information is provided to the IRS. In addition, withholding a portion of capital gain distributions made to stockholders may be required for stockholders who fail to certify their non-foreign status.

Taxation of Foreign Stockholders. The following summary applies to you only if you are a foreign person. The federal taxation of foreign persons is a highly complex matter that may be affected by many considerations.

Except as discussed below, distributions to you of cash generated by our real estate operations in the form of ordinary dividends, but not by the sale or exchange of our capital assets, generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless an applicable tax treaty reduces that tax and you file with us the required form evidencing the lower rate.

In general, you will be subject to United States federal income tax on a graduated rate basis rather than withholding with respect to your investment in our stock if such investment is “effectively connected” with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A corporate foreign stockholder that receives income that is, or is treated as, effectively connected with a United States trade or business may also be subject to the branch profits tax, which is payable in addition to regular United States corporate income tax. The following discussion will apply to foreign stockholders whose investment in us is not effectively connected. We expect to withhold United States income tax, as described below, on the gross amount of any distributions paid to you unless (1) you file an IRS Form W-8ECI with us claiming that the distribution is “effectively connected” or (2) certain other exceptions apply.

Distributions by us that are attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest will be taxed to you under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”) as if these distributions were gains “effectively connected” with a United States trade or business. Accordingly, you will be taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to a U.S. stockholder on these amounts, subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals. Distributions subject to FIRPTA may also be subject to a branch profits tax in the hands of a corporate foreign stockholder that is not entitled to treaty exemption.

We will be required to withhold from distributions subject to FIRPTA, and remit to the IRS, 35% of designated capital gain dividends, or, if greater, 35% of the amount of any distributions that could be designated as capital gain dividends. In addition, if we designate prior distributions as capital gain dividends, subsequent distributions, up to the amount of the prior distributions not withheld against, will be treated as capital gain dividends for purposes of withholding.

Any capital gain dividend with respect to any class of stock that is “regularly traded” on an established securities market will be treated as an ordinary dividend if the foreign stockholder did not own more than 5% of such class of stock at any time during the taxable year. Foreign stockholders generally will not be required to report distributions received from us on U.S. federal income tax returns and all distributions treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes including any capital gain dividend will be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax (unless reduced under an applicable income tax treaty) as discussed above. In addition, the branch profits tax will no longer apply to such distributions.

Unless our shares constitute a “United States real property interest” within the meaning of FIRPTA or are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, a sale of our shares by you generally will not be subject to United States taxation. Our shares will not constitute a United States real property interest if we qualify as a “domestically controlled REIT.” We believe that we, and expect to continue to, qualify as a domestically controlled REIT. A domestically controlled REIT is a REIT in which at all times during a specified testing period less than 50% in value of its shares is held directly or indirectly by foreign stockholders. However, if you are a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and certain other conditions apply, you will be subject to a 30% tax on such capital gains. In any event, a purchaser of our shares from you will not be required under FIRPTA to withhold on the purchase price if the purchased shares are “regularly traded” on an established securities market or if we are a domestically controlled REIT. Otherwise, under FIRPTA, the purchaser may be required to withhold 10% of the purchase price and remit such amount to the IRS.

Backup withholding tax and information reporting will generally not apply to distributions paid to you outside the United States that are treated as: (1) dividends to which the 30% or lower treaty rate withholding tax discussed above applies; (2) capital gains dividends; or (3) distributions attributable to gain from the sale or exchange by us of U.S. real property interests. Payment of the proceeds of a sale of stock within the United States or conducted

through certain U.S. related financial intermediaries is subject to both backup withholding and information reporting unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalties of perjury that he or she is not a U.S. person (and the payor does not have actual knowledge that the beneficial owner is a U.S. person) or otherwise established an exemption. You may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

Withholding tax at a rate of 30% will be imposed on certain payments to you or certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds) and other non-U.S. persons receiving payments on your behalf, including distributions in respect of shares of our stock and gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our stock, if you or such institutions fail to comply with certain due diligence, disclosure and reporting rules, as set forth in recently issued Treasury regulations. Accordingly, the entity through which shares of our stock are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Withholding will apply to payments of dividends made after June 30, 2014, and to payments of gross proceeds from a sale of shares of our stock made after December 31, 2016. Stockholders that are otherwise eligible for an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding taxes with respect to such dividends and proceeds will be required to seek a refund from the Internal Revenue Service to obtain the benefit of such exemption or reduction. Additional requirements and conditions may be imposed pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement, if and when entered into, between the United States and such institution’s home jurisdiction. We will not pay any additional amounts to any stockholders in respect of any amounts withheld. You are encouraged to consult with your tax advisors regarding U.S. withholding taxes and the application of the recently issued Treasury regulations in light of your particular circumstances.

U.S. Federal Income and Estate Taxation of Holders of Our Debt Securities. The following is a general summary of the United States federal income tax consequences and, in the case that you are a holder that is a non-U.S. holder, as defined below, the United States federal estate tax consequences, of purchasing, owning and disposing of debt securities periodically offered under one or more indentures (the “notes”). This summary assumes that you hold the notes as capital assets. This summary applies to you only if you are the initial holder of the notes and you acquire the notes for a price equal to the issue price of the notes. The issue price of the notes is the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold other than to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. In addition, this summary does not consider any foreign, state, local or other tax laws that may be applicable to us or a purchaser of the notes.

Taxable U.S. Holders of the Notes. The following summary applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder, as defined below.

Definition of a U.S. Holder. A “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of a note or notes that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

 

    a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

    a corporation, partnership or other entity classified as a corporation or partnership for these purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision of the United States, including any state;

 

    an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

    a trust, if, in general, a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons, within the meaning of the Code, has the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions.

Payments of Interest. Stated interest on the notes generally will be taxed as ordinary interest income from domestic sources at the time it is paid or accrues in accordance with your method of accounting for tax purposes.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of the Notes. The adjusted tax basis in your note acquired at a premium will generally be your cost. You generally will recognize taxable gain or loss when you sell or otherwise dispose of your notes equal to the difference, if any, between:

 

    the amount realized on the sale or other disposition, less any amount attributable to any accrued interest, which will be taxable in the manner described under “— Payments of Interest” above; and

 

    your adjusted tax basis in the notes.

 

24


Table of Contents

Your gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. This capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale or other disposition you have held the notes for more than one year. Subject to limited exceptions, your capital losses cannot be used to offset your ordinary income.

Redemption or Repurchase of the Notes. If we redeem or otherwise repurchase the notes, we may be obligated to pay additional amounts in excess of stated principal and interest. We intend to take the position that the notes should not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments because of this additional payment. Assuming such position is respected, a U.S. holder would be required to include in income the amount of any such additional payment at the time such payment is received or accrued in accordance with such U.S. holder’s method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. If the IRS successfully challenged this position, and the notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, U.S. holders could be required to accrue interest income at a rate higher than the stated interest rate on the debt securities and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or redemption of a note. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application to the notes of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. In general, “backup withholding” may apply to any payments made to you of principal and interest on your note, and to payment of the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of your note before maturity, if you are a non-exempt U.S. holder and: (1) fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number, which if you are an individual, is ordinarily your social security number; (2) furnish an incorrect taxpayer identification number; (3) are notified by the IRS that you have failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or (4) fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, that you have furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified you that you are subject to backup withholding. The amount of any reportable payments, including interest, made to you (unless you are an exempt recipient) and the amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect to such payments will be reported to you and to the IRS for each calendar year. You should consult your tax advisor regarding your qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption, if applicable. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax, and amount withheld may be refunded to you and/or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that required and correct information is provided to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders of the Notes. The following summary applies to you if you are a beneficial owner of a note and are not a U.S. holder, as defined above (a “non-U.S. holder”).

Special rules may apply to certain non-U.S. holders such as “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and “foreign personal holding companies.” Such entities are encouraged to consult their tax advisors to determine the United States federal, state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them.

U.S. Federal Withholding Tax. Subject to the discussion below, U.S. federal withholding tax will not apply to payments by us or our paying agent, in its capacity as such, of principal and interest on your notes under the “portfolio interest” exception of the Code, provided that:

 

    you do not, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote;

 

    you are not (1) a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is related, directly or indirectly, to us through sufficient stock ownership, as provided in the Code, or (2) a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

 

    such interest is not effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business; and

 

    you provide a signed written statement, under penalties of perjury, which can reliably be related to you, certifying that you are not a U.S. person within the meaning of the Code and providing your name and address to:

 

    us or our paying agent; or

 

    a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds your notes on your behalf and that certifies to us or our paying agent under penalties of perjury that it, or the bank or financial institution between it and you, has received from you your signed, written statement and provides us or our paying agent with a copy of such statement.

Treasury regulations provide that:

 

    if you are a foreign partnership, the certification requirement will generally apply to your partners, and you will be required to provide certain information;

 

    if you are a foreign trust, the certification requirement will generally be applied to you or your beneficial owners depending on whether you are a “foreign complex trust,” “foreign simple trust,” or “foreign grantor trust” as defined in the Treasury regulations; and

 

    look-through rules will apply for tiered partnerships, foreign simple trusts and foreign grantor trusts.

If you are a foreign partnership or a foreign trust, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding your status under these Treasury regulations and the certification requirements applicable to you.

If you cannot satisfy the portfolio interest requirements described above, payments of interest will be subject to the 30% United States withholding tax, unless you provide us with a properly executed (1) IRS Form W-8BEN claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable treaty or (2) IRS Form W-8ECI stating that interest paid on the note is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Alternative documentation may be applicable in certain circumstances.

If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on a note is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business, you will be required to pay United States federal income tax on that interest on a net income basis (although you will be exempt from the 30% withholding tax provided the certification requirement described above is met) in the same manner as if you were a U.S. person, except as otherwise provided by an applicable tax treaty. If you are a foreign corporation, you may be required to pay a branch profits tax on the earnings and profits that are effectively connected to the conduct of your trade or business in the United States.

Recent legislation generally will impose U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate on payments of interest (including original issue discount) and proceeds of sale in respect of debt instruments to certain non-U.S. holders if certain additional disclosure requirements related to U.S. ownership of such non-U.S. holders or U.S. accounts maintained by such non-U.S. holders are not satisfied. However, the withholding tax will not be imposed on payments pursuant to debt or other obligations outstanding as of March 18, 2012. If payment of withholding taxes is required, non-U.S. holders that are otherwise eligible for an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding taxes with respect to such distributions and proceeds of a sale of such shares will be entitled to seek a refund from the IRS to obtain the benefit of such exemption or reduction. We will not pay any additional amounts to non-U.S. holders in respect of any amounts withheld. These new withholding rules are generally effective for payments of interest made after June 30, 2014.

Sale, Exchange or other Disposition of Notes. You generally will not have to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain or income realized from the sale, redemption, retirement at maturity or other disposition of your notes, unless:

 

    in the case of gain, you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other disposition of your notes, and specific other conditions are met;

 

    you are subject to tax provisions applicable to certain United States expatriates; or

 

    the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

If you are described in the first bullet point above, you will be subject to United States federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by certain Untied States source capital losses, even though you are not considered a resident of the United States. If you are described in the second bullet above, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential liability for United States federal income tax on your gain realized on the notes. If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and gain with respect to your notes is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (and if an income tax treaty applies, you maintain a United States permanent establishment to which any such gain is generally attributable), you generally will be subject to U.S. income tax on a net basis on the gain as if you were a U.S. Holder. In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a branch profits tax on your effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax. If you are an individual and are not a U.S. citizen or a resident of the United States, as specially defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, at the time of your death, your notes will generally not be subject to the U.S. federal estate tax, unless, at the time of your death (1) you owned actually or constructively 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all our classes of stock entitled to vote, or (2) interest on the notes is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Backup withholding will not apply to payments of principal or interest made by us or our paying agent, in its capacity as such, to you if you have provided the required certification that you are a non-U.S. holder as described in “— U.S. Federal Withholding Tax” above, and provided that neither we nor our paying agent have actual knowledge that you are a U.S. holder, as described in “— U.S. Holders” above. We or our paying agent may, however, report payments of interest on the notes.

The gross proceeds from the disposition of your notes may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax. If you sell your notes outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker and the sales proceeds are paid to you outside the United States, then the U.S. backup withholding and information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment. However, U.S. information reporting, but not backup withholding, will apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if you sell your notes through a non-U.S. office of a broker that:

 

    is a U.S. person, as defined in the Code;

 

    derives 50% or more of its gross income in specific periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

 

    is a “controlled foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or

 

    is a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year, one or more of its partners are U.S. persons who in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interests in the partnership, or the foreign partnership is engaged in a U.S. trade or business, unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that you are a non-U.S. person and certain other conditions are met or you otherwise establish an exemption. If you receive payments of the proceeds of a sale of your notes to or through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment is subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting unless you provide a Form W-8BEN certifying that you are a non-U.S. person or you otherwise establish an exemption.

You should consult your own tax advisor regarding application of backup withholding in your particular circumstance and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to you will be allowed as a refund or credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Potential Legislation or Other Actions Affecting Tax Consequences. Current and prospective securities holders should recognize that the present federal income tax treatment of an investment in us may be modified by legislative, judicial or administrative action at any time and that any such action may affect investments and commitments previously made. The rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury Department, resulting in revisions of regulations and revised interpretations of established concepts as well as statutory changes. Revisions in federal tax laws and interpretations of these laws could adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in our securities.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Real Estate and Other Investment Risks

Certain of our tenants may be unable to make rental payments to us in accordance with their lease agreement.

Some of our tenants have not fully recovered from the recent economic downturn and have experienced difficulties or have been unable to obtain working capital lines of credit or renew their existing lines of credit. As a result, we restructured the leases for certain tenants such that the rents are paid on a seasonal schedule with most, if not all, of the rent being paid during the tenants’ seasonally busy period. In other cases, we restructured the lease terms to allow for rent deferrals or reductions for a period of time to provide temporary relief that then become payable in later periods of the lease term. In addition, we have refunded security deposits which must be replaced up to specified amounts and have provided lease allowances. The rent deferrals granted, the security deposits refunded and lease allowances paid reduced our cash flows from operating activities. Other restructures, such as the reductions in lease rates and the future amortization of lease allowances against rental income have reduced, and will continue to reduce, our net operating results and cash flows in current and future periods. Any significant reduction in our cash flow may cause us not to have sources of cash available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.

Our operating results will experience seasonal fluctuations on properties in which we have engaged third-party managers to operate the properties on our behalf.

In certain circumstances, we have engaged third-party managers to operate the properties on our behalf as a result of tenant defaults or utilizing the TRS leasing structure. In these situations, we recognize the properties’ operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements and may be subject to more direct operating risk. In addition, certain of our managed properties are seasonal in nature due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. These properties will likely generate net operating losses during their non-peak months while generating most, if not all, of their operating income during their peak operating season. Our consolidated operating results will fluctuate quarter to quarter depending on the number and types of properties being managed by third-party operators and the seasonal results of those properties.

We will be exposed to various operational risks, liabilities and claims with respect to the properties that we have engaged third-party managers to operate on our behalf, which may adversely affect our operating results.

With respect to the properties that are managed by third-party operators, we are exposed to various operational risks, liabilities and claims in addition to those generally applicable to ownership of real property. These risks include the operator’s inability to manage the properties and fulfill its obligations, increases in labor costs and services, cost of energy, insurance, operating supplies and litigation costs relating to accidents or injuries at the properties. Although we maintain reasonable levels of insurance, we cannot be certain the insurance will adequately cover all litigation costs relating to accidents or injuries. Any one or a combination of these factors, together with other market and conditions beyond our control, could result in operating deficiencies at our managed properties, which could have a material effect on our operating results and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.

Because our revenues are highly dependent on lease payments from our properties and interest payments from loans that we make, defaults by our tenants or borrowers would reduce our cash available for the repayment of our outstanding debt.

Our ability to repay any outstanding debt will depend upon the ability of our tenants and borrowers to make payments to us, and their ability to make these payments will depend primarily on their ability to generate sufficient revenues in excess of operating expenses from businesses conducted on our properties. For example, the ability of our tenants to make their scheduled payments to us will depend upon their ability to generate sufficient operating income at the property they operate. A tenant’s failure or delay in making scheduled rent payments to us or a borrower’s failure to make debt service payments to us may result from the tenant or borrower realizing reduced revenues at the properties it operates.

Discretionary consumer spending may affect the profitability of certain properties we acquire.

The financial performance of certain properties in which we have invested and may invest in the future depends in part on a number of factors relating to or affecting discretionary consumer spending for the types of services provided by businesses operated on these properties. Unfavorable local, regional, or national economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects have reduced consumer spending in the markets where we own properties and, when combined with the lack of available debt, have adversely affected certain of our tenants’ businesses. As a result, certain of our tenants have experienced declines in operating results, and a number of our tenants have modified the terms of certain of their leases with us. Any continuation of such events that leads to lower spending on lifestyle activities could impact our tenants’ ability to pay rent and may also adversely affect the operating results we recognize from the properties where we have engaged third party managers to operate on our behalf, thereby having a material effect on our operating results and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.

The inability to increase or maintain lease rates at our properties might affect the level of distributions to stockholders.

Given the nature of certain properties we have acquired or may acquire, the relative stagnation of base lease rates in certain sectors might not allow for substantial increases in rental revenue to us that could allow us to maintain or increase levels of distributions to stockholders.

Seasonal revenue variations in certain asset classes will require the operators of those asset classes to manage cash flow properly over time so as to meet their non-seasonal scheduled rent payments to us.

Certain of the properties in which we invest or may invest are generally seasonal in nature due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. For example, revenue and profits at ski resorts and their related properties are substantially lower and historically result in losses during the summer months due to the closure of ski operations, while many attractions properties are closed during the winter months and produce the majority of their revenues and profits during summer months. As a result of the seasonal nature of certain business operations that may be conducted on properties we acquire, these businesses will experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our operators to supplement revenue at their properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us or require us to, in certain cases, adjust their lease payments so that we collect more rent during their seasonally busy time.

Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges.

We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of our real estate assets for impairment indicators. Factors considered in evaluating impairment of our existing real estate assets held for investment include significant declines in property operating profits, recurring property operating losses and other significant adverse changes in general market conditions. Generally, a real estate asset held for investment is not considered impaired if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of the asset over its estimated holding period and the anticipated proceeds from a future sale are in excess of the asset’s net book value at the balance sheet date. Investments in unconsolidated entities are not considered impaired if the estimated fair value of the investment exceeds the carrying value of the investment. Management makes assumptions and estimates when considering impairments and actual results could vary materially from these assumptions and estimates.

We do not have control over market and business conditions that may affect our success.

The following external factors, as well as other factors beyond our control, may reduce the value of properties that we acquire, the ability of tenants to pay rent on a timely basis, or at all, the amount of the rent to be paid, and the ability of borrowers to make loan payments on time, or at all:

 

    changes in general or local economic or market conditions;

 

    the pricing and availability of debt, operating lines of credit or working capital;

 

    increased costs of energy, insurance or products;

 

    increased costs and shortages of labor;

 

    increased competition;

Table of Contents
    quality of management;

 

    failure by a tenant to meet its obligations under a lease;

 

    bankruptcy of a tenant or borrower;

 

    the ability of an operator to fulfill its obligations;

 

    limited alternative uses for properties;

 

    changing consumer habits;

 

    condemnation or uninsured losses;

 

    changing demographics; and

 

    changing government regulations including tax policies.

Further, the results of operations for a property in any one period may not be indicative of results in future periods, and the long-term performance of such property generally may not be comparable to, and cash flows may not be as predictable as, other properties owned by third parties in the same or similar industry. If tenants are unable to make lease payments or borrowers are unable to make loan payments as a result of any of these factors, we may have insufficient cash available to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.

Our exposure to typical real estate investment risks could reduce our income.

Our properties, loans and other permitted investments will be subject to the risks typically associated with investments in real estate. Such risks include the possibility that our properties will generate rent and capital appreciation, if any, at rates lower than we anticipated or will yield returns lower than those available through other investments or that the value of our properties will decline. Further, there are other risks by virtue of the fact that our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited because of the general illiquidity of real estate investments. Income from our properties may be adversely affected by many factors including, but not limited to, an increase in the local supply of properties similar to our properties, a decrease in the number of people interested in participating in activities related to the businesses conducted on the properties that we acquire, adverse weather conditions, changes in government regulation, international, national or local economic deterioration, increases in energy costs and other expenses affecting travel, factors which may affect travel patterns and reduce the number of travelers and tourists, increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors that may not be offset by increased revenue, and changes in consumer tastes.

We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.

The seller of a property often sells such property in its “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase and sale agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property, as well as the loss of rental income from that property.

If one or more of our tenants file for bankruptcy protection, we may be precluded from collecting all sums due.

If one or more of our tenants, or the guarantor of a tenant’s lease, commences, or is subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, any proceeding under any provision of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code, as amended, or any other legal or equitable proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation, receivership or debtor’s relief statute or law, (such proceedings being referred to as a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), we may be unable to collect sums due under our lease(s) with that tenant. Any or all of the tenants, or a guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations, could be subject to a Bankruptcy Proceeding. A Bankruptcy Proceeding may bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from those entities or their properties unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant, and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. We believe that our security deposits in the form of letters of credit would be protected from bankruptcy in most jurisdictions. However, a tenant’s or lease guarantor’s Bankruptcy Proceeding could hinder or delay efforts to collect past due balances under relevant leases or guarantees and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. Such an event could cause a decrease or cessation

of rental payments which would reduce our cash flow and the amount available to pay our indebtedness, including the notes. In the event of a Bankruptcy Proceeding, we cannot assure you that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease. If a given lease, or guaranty of a lease, is not assumed, our cash flow and the amounts available to pay amounts due on our indebtedness, may be adversely affected.

Multiple property leases or loans with individual tenants or borrowers increase our risks in the event that such tenants or borrowers become financially impaired.

The value of our properties will depend principally upon the value of the leases entered into for properties that we acquire. Defaults by a tenant or borrower may continue for some time before we determine that it is in our best interest to terminate the lease of the tenant or foreclose on the property of the borrower. Tenants may lease more than one property, and borrowers may enter into more than one loan. As a result, a default by, or the financial failure of, a tenant or borrower could cause more than one property to become vacant or be in default or more than one lease or loan to become non-performing. Defaults or vacancies can reduce and have reduced our cash receipts and funds available for the payment of our indebtedness, and could decrease the resale value of affected properties until they can be re-leased.

Joint venture partners may have different interests than we have, which may negatively impact our control over our ventures and make it difficult to exit a joint venture after an impasse.

Investments in joint ventures involve the risk that our co-venturer may have economic or business interests or goals which, at a particular time, are inconsistent with our interests or goals, that the co-venturer may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, or that the co-venturer may experience financial difficulties and be unable to fund its share of required capital contributions. Among other things, actions by a co-venturer might subject assets owned by the joint venture to liabilities in excess of those contemplated by the terms of the joint venture agreement or to other adverse consequences. This risk is also present when we make investments in securities of other entities. If we do not have full control over a joint venture, the value of our investment will be affected to some extent by a third party that may have different goals and capabilities than ours, and if our joint approval is necessary there is a potential risk of impasse. In any joint venture, we may have the right to buy the other co-venturer’s interest or to sell our own interest on specified terms and conditions in the event of an impasse regarding a sale. In the event of an impasse, it is possible that neither party will have the funds necessary to complete a buy-out. In addition, we may experience difficulty in locating a third-party purchaser for our joint venture interest and in obtaining a favorable sale price for the interest. As a result, it is possible that we may not be able to exit the relationship if an impasse develops. As a result, joint ownership of investments and investments in other entities may adversely affect our returns on investments and results of operations, and, therefore, cash available to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness, may be adversely affected.

Portfolio acquisitions are more difficult to complete than single asset acquisitions.

Sellers may require that a group of assets be purchased as a package, even though one or more of the assets in the portfolio does not meet our investment criteria. In such cases, we may attempt to make a joint bid with another buyer, or we may purchase the portfolio of assets with the intent to subsequently dispose of those assets which do not meet our investment criteria. In the case of joint bids, however, it is possible that the other buyer may default in its obligations, which increases the risk that the acquisition will not close, with the adverse consequences described above.

We may have difficulty selling real estate investments, and our ability to distribute all or a portion of the net proceeds from such sales to our stockholders may be limited.

In cases where we intend to dispose of assets that we do not wish to own, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell or exchange such asset or assets in a timely manner or on terms beneficial or satisfactory to us. Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. We will have a limited ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. We will also have a limited ability to sell assets in order to fund working capital and similar capital needs such as share redemptions. We expect to generally hold a real estate investment for the long term. When we sell any of our real estate investments, we may not realize a gain on such sale or the amount of our taxable gain could exceed the cash proceeds we receive from such sale. We may not distribute any proceeds from the sale of real estate investments to our stockholders. Rather, we may use such proceeds to:

 

    purchase additional real estate investments;

 

    repay debt;

 

    buy out interests of any co-venturers or other partners in any joint venture in which we are a party;

 

    purchase shares under our share redemption program;

 

    create working capital reserves; or

 

    make repairs, maintenance, tenant improvements or other capital improvements or expenditures to our other properties.

Our ability to sell our properties may also be limited by our need to avoid a 100% penalty tax that is imposed on gain recognized by a REIT from the sale of property characterized as dealer property. In order to avoid such characterization and to take advantage of certain safe harbors under the Internal Revenue Code, we may determine to hold our properties for a minimum period of time, generally two years.

The real estate industry is capital intensive and we are subject to risks associated with ongoing needs for renovation and capital improvements to our properties as well as financing for such expenditures.

In order for us to remain competitive, our properties will have an ongoing need for renovations and other capital improvements, including replacements, from time to time, of furniture, fixtures and equipment. These capital improvements may give rise to the following risks:

 

    construction cost overruns and delays;

 

    a possible shortage of available cash to fund capital improvements and the related possibility that financing for these capital improvements may not be available to us on satisfactory terms; and

 

    disruptions in the operation of the properties while capital improvements are underway.

We do not control the management of our properties.

In order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may not operate certain types of properties we acquire or participate in the decisions affecting their daily operations except under certain circumstances discussed below. Our success, therefore, will depend on our ability to select qualified and creditworthy tenants and managers who can effectively manage and operate the properties. Our tenants will be responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties and, because our revenues will largely be derived from rents, our financial condition will be dependent on the ability of third-party tenants and/or operators to operate the properties successfully. We will attempt to enter into leasing agreements with tenants having substantial prior experience in the operation of the type of property being rented. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to make such arrangements. Additionally, if we elect to treat property we acquire as a result of a borrower’s default on a loan or a tenant’s default on a lease as “foreclosure property” for federal income tax purposes, we will be required to operate that property through an independent contractor over whom we will not have control. If our tenants or third-party operators are unable to operate the properties successfully or if we select unqualified managers, then such tenants and operators might not be able to pay our rent, or generate sufficient property-level operating income for us, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

Adverse weather conditions may damage certain properties we acquire and/or reduce our operators’ ability to make scheduled rent payments to us.

Weather conditions may influence revenues at certain types of properties we acquire. These adverse weather conditions include heavy snowfall (or lack thereof), hurricanes, tropical storms, high winds, heat waves, frosts, drought (or reduced rainfall levels), excessive rain, avalanches, mudslides and floods. Adverse weather could reduce the number of people participating in activities at properties we acquire and have acquired. Certain properties may be susceptible to damage from weather conditions such as hurricanes, which may cause damage (including, but not limited to property damage and loss of revenue) that is not generally insurable at commercially reasonable rates. Further, the physical condition of properties we acquire must be satisfactory to attract visitation. In addition to severe or generally inclement weather, other factors, including, but not limited to plant disease and insect infestation, as well as the quality and quantity of water, could adversely affect the conditions at properties we own and acquire or develop. Most properties have some insurance coverage that will offset such losses and fund needed repairs.

Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.

We maintain, or cause our operators to maintain, insurance including, but not limited to, liability, fire, wind, earthquake, and business income coverage on all of our properties that are not being leased on a triple-net basis under various insurance policies. We select policy specifications and insured limits which we believe to be appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from riots, terrorist threats, war or nuclear reaction. Most of our policies, like those covering losses due to floods, are insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits which may not be sufficient to cover losses. While we carry earthquake insurance properties that are not being leased on a triple-net basis, the amount of our earthquake coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses from earthquakes. In addition, we may discontinue earthquake or other insurance on some or all of our properties in the future if the cost of premiums for any of these policies exceeds, in our judgment, the value of the coverage relative to the risk of loss. This risk may limit our ability to finance or refinance debt secured by our prosperities. Additionally, we could default under debt or other agreements if the cost and/or availability of certain types of insurance make it impractical or impossible to comply with covenants relating to the insurance we are required to maintain under such agreements. In such instances, we may be required to self-insure against certain losses or seek other forms of financial assurance.

Dramatic increases in insurance rates could adversely affect our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

We may not be able to obtain insurance coverage at reasonable rates due to high premium and/or deductible amounts. As a result, our cash flows could be adversely impacted due to these higher costs, which would adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

If we set aside insufficient reserves for capital expenditures, we may be required to defer necessary property improvements.

If we do not have enough reserves for capital expenditures to supply needed funds for capital improvements throughout the life of the investment in a property and there is insufficient cash available from our operations, we may be required to defer necessary improvements to the property that may cause the property to suffer from a greater risk of obsolescence, a decline in value and/or a greater risk of decreased cash flow as a result of attracting fewer potential tenants to the property and adversely affecting our tenants’ businesses. If we lack sufficient capital to make necessary capital improvements, then we may not be able to maintain projected rental rates for certain properties, and our results of operations and ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due under our indebtedness may be adversely affected.

We may be required to defer property expansion during the foreclosure period after a tenant’s default.

In cases where a tenant has defaulted and we have foreclosed on the leases and engaged a third-party manager to operate the property for a period of time, we are prohibited by tax regulations from conducting any new construction during the foreclosure period to expand these properties. The inability to continue to expand certain of our properties may reduce the competitiveness of such properties, and result in declining revenues and operating income. Our results of operations, and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness, may be adversely affected.

Our failure or the failure of the tenants and managers of our facilities to comply with licensing and certification requirements, the requirements of governmental programs, fraud and abuse regulations or new legislative developments may materially adversely affect the operations of our senior housing facilities.

The operations of our senior housing facilities are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that are subject to frequent and substantial changes resulting from legislation, adoption of rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing laws. The ultimate timing or effect of any changes in these laws and regulations cannot be predicted. Failure to obtain licensure or loss or suspension of licensure or certification may prevent a facility from operating or result in a suspension of certain revenue sources until all licensure or certification issues have been resolved. Facilities may also be affected by changes in accreditation standards or procedures of accrediting agencies that are recognized by governments in the certification process. State laws may require compliance with extensive standards governing operations and agencies administering those laws regularly inspect such facilities and investigate complaints. Failure to comply with all regulatory requirements could result in the loss of the ability to provide or bill and receive payment for healthcare services at our senior housing properties. Additionally, transfers of operations of certain senior housing properties are subject to regulatory approvals not required for transfers of other types of commercial operations and real estate. We may have no direct control over the tenant’s or manager’s ability to meet regulatory requirements and failure to comply with these laws, regulations and requirements may materially adversely affect the operations of these properties.

Cost control and other healthcare reform measures may reduce reimbursement revenue available to certain of our senior housing properties.

The healthcare industry is facing various challenges, including increased government and private payor pressure on health care providers to control costs and the vertical and horizontal consolidation of healthcare providers. The pressure to control healthcare costs has intensified in recent years as a result of the national healthcare reform debate and has continued as Congress attempts to slow the rate of growth of federal healthcare expenditures as part of its effort to balance the federal budget. Similar debates are ongoing at the state level in many states. These trends are likely to lead to reduced or slower growth in reimbursement for services provided at some of our senior housing properties and could therefore result in reduced profitability of such properties, adversely affecting our rental income or results from investments in such properties, which may adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness.

The U.S. healthcare environment is changing in many ways, which may not be favorable to those of our senior housing properties offering healthcare services, as a result of recent federal healthcare legislation.

Health care, including the long-term care and assisted living sectors, remains a dynamic, evolving industry. On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 was enacted and on March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act was enacted, which in part modified the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, referred to collectively as the Health Care Reform Acts. Among other things, the Health Care Reform Acts serve as the primary vehicle for comprehensive healthcare reform in the United States. The Health Care Reform Acts are intended to reduce the number of individuals in the United States without health insurance and effect significant other changes to the ways in which healthcare is organized, delivered and reimbursed. The legislation will become effective in a phased approach, beginning in 2010 and concluding in 2018. At this time, the effects of the legislation and its impact on our business are not yet known. Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the two Acts and further governmental initiatives undertaken pursuant to the Health Care Reform Acts.

We may incur significant costs complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. We have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance with the ADA. If one or more of our properties does not comply with the ADA, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require modifications to our properties or restrict our ability to renovate our properties.

Table of Contents

We cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and any other similar legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

The current U.S. housing market may adversely affect our operators’ and tenants’ ability to increase or maintain occupancy levels at, and rental income from, our senior housing facilities which may impact the amount of distributions and earnings we receive from our unconsolidated venture that owns senior housing facilities.

The performance of the senior housing sector is linked to the performance of the general economy and, specifically, the housing market in the United States. It is also sensitive to personal wealth and available fixed income of seniors and their adult children. Declines in home values, consumer confidence and net worth due to adverse general economic conditions may reduce demand for senior housing properties. Our tenants and operators in our senior housing facilities may experience relatively flat or declining occupancy levels in the near-term due to falling home prices, declining incomes, stagnant home sales and other economic factors. Seniors may choose to postpone their plans to move into senior housing facilities rather than sell their homes at a loss or for a profit below their expectations. Moreover, tightened lending standards have made it more difficult for potential buyers to obtain mortgage financing, all of which have contributed to the declining home sales. Any future rise in interest rates may compound or prolong this problem. In addition, the senior housing segment may continue to experience a decline in occupancy associated with private pay residents choosing to move out of the facilities to be cared for at home by relatives due to difficulties selling their existing homes. A material decline in occupancy levels and revenues may make it more difficult for them to meet scheduled rent payments to us, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

Events which adversely affect the ability of seniors to afford our daily resident fees could cause the occupancy rates, resident fee revenues and results of operations of our senior housing facilities to decline.

Costs to seniors associated with certain types of the senior housing properties generally are not reimbursable under government reimbursement programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. Substantially all of the resident fee revenues generated by our facilities will be derived from private payment sources consisting of income or assets of residents or their family members. Only seniors with income or assets meeting or exceeding certain standards can typically afford to pay our daily resident and service fees and, in some cases, entrance fees. Economic downturns such as the one experienced in the United States beginning in 2008, reductions or declining growth of government entitlement programs, such as social security benefits, or stock market volatility could adversely affect the ability of seniors to afford the fees for our senior housing facilities. If our tenants or managers are unable to attract and retain seniors with sufficient income, assets or other resources required to pay the fees associated with assisted and independent living services, the occupancy rates, resident fee revenues and results of operations for these facilities could decline, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.

Increased competition for customers may reduce the ability of certain of our operators to make scheduled rent payments to us or affect our operating results.

The types of properties in which we invest are expected to face competition for customers from other similar properties, both locally and nationally. For example, competing senior housing properties may be located near the senior housing properties we own or acquire. Similarly, golf courses we acquire will compete in each market with other golf courses some of which may have greater resources than our golf courses. Any decrease in revenues due to such competition at any of our properties may adversely affect our operators’ ability to make scheduled rent payments to us and with respect to certain of our senior housing and lodging properties leased to TRS entities, may adversely affect our operating results of those properties.

Existing senior housing and healthcare properties that we may acquire may be subject to unknown or contingent liabilities which could cause us to incur substantial costs.

We anticipate that we will acquire operating senior housing and healthcare properties. Such senior housing and healthcare properties may be subject to unknown or contingent liabilities for which we may have no recourse, or only limited recourse, against the sellers. In general, the representations and warranties provided under transaction

 

35


Table of Contents

agreements related to our acquisition of senior housing and healthcare properties may not survive the closing of the transactions. While we will likely seek to require the sellers to indemnify us with respect to breaches of representations and warranties that survive, such indemnification may be limited and subject to various materiality thresholds, a significant deductible or an aggregate cap on indemnifiable losses. There is no guarantee that we will recover any amounts with respect to losses due to breaches by the sellers of their representations and warranties. In addition, the total amount of costs and expenses that may be incurred with respect to liabilities associated with these properties may exceed our expectations, and we may experience other unanticipated adverse effects, all of which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, the market price of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We invest in private-pay senior housing properties, an asset class of the senior housing sector that is highly competitive.

Private-pay senior housing is a competitive asset class of the senior housing sector. Our senior housing properties will compete on the basis of location, affordability, quality of service, reputation and availability of alternative care environments. Our senior housing properties also will rely on the willingness and ability of seniors to select senior housing options. Our property operators may have competitors with greater marketing and financial resources and may be able to offer incentives or reduce fees charged to residents thereby potentially reducing the perceived affordability of our properties during downturns in the economy. Additionally, the high demand for quality caregivers in a given market could increase the costs associated with providing care and services to residents. These and other factors could cause the amount of our revenue generated by private payment sources to decline or our operating expenses to increase. In periods of weak demand, as has occurred during the current general economic recession, profitability may be negatively affected by the relatively high fixed costs of operating a senior housing property.

The inability of seniors to sell their homes could negatively impact occupancy rates, revenues, cash flows and results of operations of the properties we acquire.

Downturns in U.S. housing markets could cause seniors to experience difficulty selling their homes, which could impact their ability to relocate into or finance their stays at our senior housing properties with private resources. Specifically, these difficulties could adversely affect the ability (or perceived ability) of seniors to afford the entrance fees and resident fees, as potential residents frequently use the proceeds from the sale of their homes to cover the cost of these fees.

Significant legal actions brought against the tenants or managers of our senior housing properties could subject them to increased operating costs and substantial uninsured liabilities, which may affect their ability to meet their obligations to us.

As is typical in the healthcare industry, the tenants or managers of our senior housing properties may be subject to claims that their services have resulted in resident injury or other adverse effects. Many of these tenants or managers may have experienced an increasing trend in the frequency and severity of professional liability and general liability insurance claims and litigation asserted against them. The insurance coverage that will be maintained by such tenants or managers, whether through commercial insurance or self-insurance, may not cover all claims made against them or continue to be available at a reasonable cost, if at all. In some states, insurance coverage for the risk of punitive damages arising from professional liability and general liability claims and/or litigation may not, in certain cases, be available to our tenants or managers due to state law prohibitions or limitations of availability. As a result, tenants of our medical office buildings and healthcare-related facilities operating in these states may be liable for punitive damage awards that are either not covered or are in excess of their insurance policy limits. We also believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of certain healthcare providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Insurance is not available to cover such losses. Any adverse determination in a legal proceeding or government investigation could lead to potential termination from government programs, large penalties and fines and otherwise have a material adverse effect on a facility operator’s financial condition. If a tenant or manager is unable to obtain or maintain insurance coverage, if judgments are obtained in excess of the insurance coverage, if a tenant or manager is required to pay uninsured punitive damages, or if a tenant or manager is subject to an uninsurable government enforcement action, the tenant or manager could be exposed to substantial additional liabilities, which could result in its bankruptcy or insolvency or have a material adverse effect on a

tenant’s or manager’s business and its ability to meet its obligations to us, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

We will be exposed to various operational risks, liabilities and claims with respect to our senior housing properties that may adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and/or increase our costs.

Through our ownership of senior housing properties, we will be exposed to various operational risks, liabilities and claims with respect to our properties in addition to those generally applicable to ownership of real property. These risks include fluctuations in occupancy levels, the inability to achieve economic resident fees (including anticipated increases in those fees), rent control regulations, and increases in labor costs (as a result of unionization or otherwise) and services. Any one or a combination of these factors, together with other market and business conditions beyond our control, could result in operating deficiencies at our senior housing properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our facility operators’ results of operations and their ability to meet their obligations to us and operate our properties effectively and efficiently, which in turn could adversely affect us.

Unanticipated expenses and insufficient demand for senior housing properties could adversely affect our profitability.

As part of our investment strategy, we may acquire senior housing properties in geographic areas where potential customers may not be familiar with the benefits of and care provided by that particular property. As a result, we may have to incur costs relating to the opening, operation and promotion of such properties that are substantially greater than those incurred in other areas where the properties are better known by the public. These properties may attract fewer residents than other senior housing properties we may acquire and may have increased costs, such as for marketing expenses, adversely affecting the results of operations of such properties as compared to those properties that are better known.

If our operators fail to cultivate new or maintain existing relationships with residents in the markets in which they operate, our occupancy percentage, payor mix and resident rates may deteriorate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to you.

We intend to build relationships with several key operators, which will make us extremely dependent on those select operators. The ability of our operators to improve the overall occupancy percentage, payor mix and resident rates at our senior housing and other healthcare facilities, depends on our operators’ reputation in the communities they serve and our operators’ ability to successfully market our facilities to potential residents. A large part of our operators’ marketing and sales effort will be directed towards cultivating and maintaining relationships with key community organizations that work with seniors, physicians and other healthcare providers in the communities where our facilities are located, whose referral practices significantly affect the choices seniors make with respect to their long-term care needs. If our operators are unable to successfully cultivate and maintain strong relationships with these community organizations, physicians and other healthcare providers, occupancy rates at our facilities could decline, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to you.

Some tenants of senior housing properties are subject to fraud and abuse laws, the violation of which by a tenant may jeopardize the tenant’s ability to make rent payments to us.

There are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from or are in a position to make referrals in connection with government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Any lease arrangements we may enter into with certain tenants could also be subject to these fraud and abuse laws concerning Medicare and Medicaid. Examples of these laws include the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the Federal Physician Self-Referral Prohibition, the False Claims Act, and the Civil Monetary Penalties Law. Additionally, states in which the facilities are located may have similar fraud and abuse laws. These laws include penalties for violations that range from punitive sanctions, damage assessments, penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid payments and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Investigation by a federal or state governmental body for violation of fraud and abuse laws or imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenants could jeopardize that tenant’s ability to operate or to make rent payments, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make cash distributions.

Our TRS structure subjects us to the risk that the leases with our TRS lessees do not qualify for tax purposes as arm’s-length, which would expose us to potentially significant tax penalties.

Lessees of properties held in our TRSs, i.e., certain senior housing properties, will incur taxes or accrue tax benefits consistent with a “C” corporation. If the leases between us and our TRS lessees were deemed by the Internal Revenue Service to not reflect an arm’s-length transaction as that term is defined by tax law, we may be subject to significant tax penalties as the lessor that would adversely impact our profitability and our cash flows.

Increased competition for customers may reduce the ability of certain of our operators to make scheduled rent payments to us.

The types of properties in which we invest are expected to face competition for customers from other similar properties, both locally and nationally. For example, competing golf courses may be located near the golf courses we own or acquire. Similarly, marinas we own or acquire compete in each market with other marinas, some of which may have greater resources than our marinas, for a limited number of boaters seeking boat rental slips. Any decrease in revenues due to such competition at any of our properties may adversely affect our operators’ ability to make scheduled rent payments to us, which may affect our results of operations and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness, including the notes.

We will have no economic interest in the land beneath ground lease properties we have and may acquire in the future.

A significant number of the properties that we have acquired are on land owned by a governmental entity or other third party, while we own a leasehold, permit, or similar interest. This means that while we have a right to use the property, we do not retain fee ownership in the underlying land. Accordingly, with respect to such properties, we will have no economic interest in the land or buildings at the expiration of the ground lease or permit. As a result, although we will share in the income stream derived from the lease or permit, we will not share in any increase in value of the land associated with the underlying property. Further, because we do not completely control the underlying land, the governmental or other third party owners that lease this land to us could take certain actions to disrupt our rights in the properties or our tenants’ operation of the properties or take the properties in an eminent domain proceeding. While we do not think such interruption is likely, such events are beyond our control. If the entity owning the land under one of our properties chose to disrupt our use either permanently or for a significant period of time, then the value of our assets could be impaired and our results of operations and ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness, including the notes, could be adversely affected.

Marinas, ski resorts, golf courses and other types of properties in which we may invest may not be readily adaptable to other uses.

Ski resorts and related properties, marinas, golf courses and other types of properties in which we may invest are specific-use properties that have limited alternative uses. Therefore, if the operations of any of our properties in these sectors, such as our ski properties, become unprofitable for our tenant or operator due to industry competition, a general deterioration of the applicable industry or otherwise, such that the tenant becomes unable to meet its obligations under its lease, then we may have great difficulty re-leasing the property and the liquidation value of the property may be substantially less than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to other uses. Should any of these events occur, our income and cash available to pay our indebtedness, including the notes, and the value of our property portfolio, could be reduced.

We compete with other companies for investments.

We anticipate that we will continue to compete with other companies and investors, including other REITs, real estate partnerships, mutual funds, institutional investors, specialty finance companies, opportunity funds, banks and insurance companies, for the acquisition of properties, loans and other permitted investments that we seek to acquire or make. Some of the other entities that we may compete with for acquisition opportunities will have substantially greater experience acquiring and owning the types of properties, loans or other permitted investments in which we seek to acquire or make, as well as greater financial resources and a broader geographic knowledge base than we have. As a result, competition may reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities available to us.

We may not control our joint ventures.

Our independent directors must approve all joint venture or general partnership arrangements. Subject to that approval, we may enter into a joint venture with an unaffiliated party to purchase a property or to make loans or other permitted investments, and the joint venture or general partnership agreement relating to that joint venture or partnership may provide that we will share with the unaffiliated party management control of the joint venture. For instance, with respect to the commercial retail property we own with Intrawest Corporation at five ski resorts and the Dallas Market Center, our venture partners share approval rights on many major decisions. Those venture partners may have differing interests from ours and the power to direct the joint venture or partnership on certain matters in a manner with which we do not agree. In the event the joint venture or general partnership agreement provides that we will have sole management control of the joint venture, the agreement may be ineffective as to a third party who has no notice of the agreement, and we may therefore be unable to control fully the activities of the joint venture. Should we enter into a joint venture with another program sponsored by an affiliate, we do not anticipate that we will have sole management control of the joint venture. In addition, when we invest in properties, loans or other permitted investments indirectly through the acquisition of interests in entities that own such properties, loans or other permitted investments, we may not be able to control the management of such assets.

Our properties may be subject to environmental liabilities that could significantly impact our return from the properties and the success of our ventures.

Operations at certain of the properties we have acquired or may acquire in the future, or which are used to collateralize loans we have made or may make, may involve the use, handling, storage, and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, including environmentally sensitive materials such as herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, motor oil, waste motor oil and filters, transmission fluid, antifreeze, freon, waste paint and lacquer thinner, batteries, solvents, lubricants, degreasing agents, gasoline and diesel fuels, and sewage. Accordingly, the operations of certain properties we acquire will be subject to regulation by federal, state, and local authorities establishing health and environmental quality standards. In addition, certain of our properties may maintain and operate underground storage tanks, or USTs, for the storage of various petroleum products. USTs are generally subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations that require testing and upgrading of USTs and the remediation of contaminated soils and groundwater resulting from leaking USTs.

As an owner of real estate, various federal and state environmental laws and regulations may require us to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos-containing materials, or petroleum products located on, in or emanating from our properties. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the release of hazardous substances. Asbestos-containing building materials are subject to management and maintenance requirements under environmental laws, and owners and operators may be subject to penalty for noncompliance. Environmental laws may allow suits by third parties for recovery from owners or operators for personal injury related to exposure to asbestos-containing building materials.

We may also be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by those parties in connection with the contamination. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. Other environmental laws impose liability on a previous owner of property to the extent hazardous or toxic substances were present during the prior ownership period. A transfer of the property may not relieve an owner of such liability; therefore, we may have liability with respect to properties that we or our predecessors sold in the past.

The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination at any of our properties may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the properties or to borrow using the properties as collateral. Some of our tenants routinely handle hazardous substances and wastes at our properties. Environmental laws and regulations subject our tenants, and potentially us, to liability resulting from these activities or from previous activities at the properties. Environmental liabilities could also affect the ability of our tenants to meet their obligations to pay us for leasing the properties. While our leases are expected to provide that the tenant is solely responsible for any environmental hazards created during the term of the lease, we or an operator of a site may be liable to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination coming from the site.

Table of Contents

All of our properties have been or will be acquired subject to satisfactory Phase I environmental assessments, which assessments generally involve the inspection of site conditions without invasive testing such as sampling or analysis of soil, groundwater or other conditions, or satisfactory Phase II environmental assessments, which generally involve the testing of soil, groundwater or other conditions. Our Board of Directors and our Advisor may determine that we will acquire a property in which a Phase I or Phase II environmental assessment indicates that a problem exists and has not been resolved at the time the property is acquired, provided, however, that if it is a material problem: (i) the seller has (a) agreed in writing to indemnify us and/or (b) established an escrow fund with cash equal to a predetermined amount greater than the estimated costs to remediate the problem; or (ii) we have negotiated other comparable arrangements, including, but not limited to, a reduction in the purchase price. We cannot be sure, however, that any seller will be able to pay under an indemnity we obtain or that the amount in escrow will be sufficient to pay all remediation costs. Further, we cannot be sure that all environmental liabilities associated with the properties that we may acquire from time to time will have been identified or that no prior owner, operator or current occupant will have created an environmental condition not known to us. Moreover, we cannot be sure that: (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability on us; (ii) that the assessment failed to reveal material adverse environmental conditions, liabilities, or compliance concerns, or (iii) the environmental condition of the properties that we may acquire from time to time will not be affected by tenants and occupants of the properties, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the properties (such as the presence of USTs), or by third parties unrelated to us. Environmental liabilities that we may incur could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or our ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness. In addition to the risks associated with potential environmental liabilities discussed above, compliance with environmental laws and regulations that govern our properties may require expenditures and modifications of development plans and operations that could have a detrimental effect on the operations of the properties and our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness. There can be no assurance that the application of environmental laws, regulations or policies, or changes in such laws, regulations and policies, will not occur in a manner that could have a detrimental effect on any property we may acquire.

Mold or other indoor air quality issues may exist or arise in the future at our properties, and they could result in our being liable for adverse health effects and remediation costs.

Excessive moisture accumulation in our buildings or on our building materials may trigger mold growth, and the problem may be exacerbated if the moisture is either undiscovered or not addressed immediately. Mold may emit airborne toxins or irritants. Inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination, and other biological contaminants (including pollen, viruses and bacteria) can also impair indoor air quality. Impaired indoor air quality may cause a variety of adverse health effects such as allergic reactions. If mold or other airborne contaminants exist or appear at our properties, we may have to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the contaminants or increase indoor ventilation. If indoor air quality were impaired, we could be liable to our tenants, their employees or others for property damage or personal injury.

Legislation and government regulation may adversely affect the development and operations of properties we may acquire.

In addition to being subject to environmental laws and regulations, certain of the development plans and operations conducted or to be conducted on properties we have acquired and may acquire in the future require permits, licenses and approvals from certain federal, state and local authorities. For example, ski resort operations often require federal permits from the U.S. Forest Service to use forests as ski slopes. Material permits, licenses or approvals may be terminated, not renewed or renewed on terms or interpreted in ways that are materially less favorable to the properties we purchase. Furthermore, laws and regulations that we or our operators are subject to may change in ways that are difficult to predict. There can be no assurance that the application of laws, regulations or policies, or changes in such laws, regulations and policies, will not occur in a manner that could have a detrimental effect on any property we may acquire, the operations of such property and the amount of rent we receive from the tenant of such property.

Governmental regulation with respect to water use by ski resorts and golf courses could negatively impact ski resorts and golf courses we acquire.

The rights of ski resorts, golf courses and related properties that we have acquired or may acquire in the future to use various water sources on or about their properties may also be subject to significant restrictions or the rights of other riparian users and the public generally. Certain ski resorts, golf courses and related properties we have acquired or may acquire in the future and the municipalities in which they are located may be dependent upon a single source of water, which sources could be historically low or inconsistent. Such a problem with water may lead to disputes and litigation over, and restrictions placed on, water use. Disputes and litigation over water use could damage the reputation of ski resorts, golf courses and related properties we have acquired or may acquire in the future and could be expensive to defend, and together with restrictions placed on water use, could have a material adverse effect on the business and operating results of our ski resorts, golf courses and related properties.

Governmental regulation of marinas with respect to dredging or damming could negatively impact marinas we acquire.

Marinas that we have acquired or may acquire in the future must be dredged from time to time to remove the silt and mud that collect in harbor areas as a result of, among other factors, heavy boat traffic, tidal flow, water flow and storm runoff. Dredging and disposing of the dredged material can be very costly and may require permits from various governmental authorities. In addition, the Army Corps of Engineers often has the authority to dam rivers and lakes, which can negatively affect our marinas. If we or our marina tenants or operators engaged by our marina tenants cannot timely obtain the permits necessary to dredge marinas or dispose of the dredged material, if dredging is not practical or is exceedingly expensive, or damming drops water levels, the operations of the marina could be materially and adversely affected, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness, including the notes.

Government budget deficits could lead to a reduction in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.

The prolonged slow growth in the U.S. economy has negatively affected state budgets, which may put pressure on those states who have not accepted additional funds for the expansion of Medicare to decrease reimbursement rates with the goal of decreasing state expenditures under state Medicaid programs. The need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in state Medicaid programs due to prolonged unemployment, declines in family incomes and eligibility expansions authorized by the recently enacted healthcare reform law. These potential reductions could be compounded by the potential for federal cost-cutting efforts that could lead to reductions in reimbursement rates under the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs and other healthcare-related programs. Potential reductions in reimbursements under these programs could negatively impact the ability of our operators and their ability to meet their obligations to us.

Lending Related Risks

Our loans may be affected by unfavorable real estate market conditions.

When we make loans, we are at risk of default on those loans caused by many conditions beyond our control, including local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values and interest rate levels. We do not know whether the values of the properties collateralizing mortgage loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of the loans. If the values of the underlying properties drop or in some instances fail to rise, our risk will increase and the value of our interests may decrease.

Foreclosures create additional ownership risks that could adversely impact our returns on mortgage investments.

When we acquire a property by foreclosure following defaults under our mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans, we have the economic and liability risks as the owner of such property. This additional liability could adversely impact our returns on mortgage investments.

Our loans will be subject to interest rate fluctuations.

If we invest in fixed-rate, long-term loans and interest rates rise, the loans will yield a return lower than then-current market rates. If interest rates decrease, we will be adversely affected to the extent that loans are prepaid, because we will not be able to make new loans at the previously higher interest rate.

Lack of principal amortization of loans increases the risk of borrower default at maturity and delays in liquidating defaulted loans could reduce our investment returns and our cash available for distributions and payment of our indebtedness.

Certain of the loans that we have made do not require the amortization of principal during their term. As a result, a substantial amount of, or the entire principal balance of, such loans will be due in one balloon payment upon maturity. Failure to amortize the principal balance of loans may increase the risk of a default during the term, and at maturity, of loans. In addition, certain of our loans have or may have a portion of the interest accrued and payable upon maturity. We may not receive any of that accrued interest if our borrower defaults. A default under loans could have a material adverse effect on our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness, including the exchange notes. Further, if there are defaults under our loans, we may not be able to repossess and sell the underlying properties or other security quickly. The resulting time delay could reduce the value of our investment in the defaulted loans. An action to foreclose on a mortgaged property securing a loan is regulated by state statutes and rules and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of other lawsuits if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. In the event of default by a mortgagor, these restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due on our loan. Any failure or delay by a borrower in making scheduled payments to us may adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness.

We may make loans on a subordinated and unsecured basis and may not be able to collect outstanding principal and interest.

Although our loans to third parties are usually collateralized by properties pledged by such borrowers, we have made loans that are unsecured and/or subordinated in right of payment to such third parties’ existing and future indebtedness. In the event of a foreclosure, bankruptcy, liquidation, winding up, reorganization or other similar proceeding relating to such third party, and in certain other events, such third party’s assets may only be available to pay obligations on our unsecured loans after the third party’s other indebtedness has been paid. As a result, there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay the principal or interest on the unsecured loans we may make.

Financing Related Risks

Anticipated borrowing creates risks.

We have borrowed and will continue to borrow money to acquire assets, to preserve our status as a REIT, or for other corporate purposes. We generally mortgage or put a lien on one or more of our assets in connection with any borrowing. We intend to maintain one or more revolving lines of credit of up to $160 million to provide financing for the acquisition of assets, although our Board of Directors could determine to borrow a greater amount. We may repay the line of credit using proceeds from the sale of assets, working capital or long-term financing. We also have obtained, and intend to continue to obtain, long-term financing. We may not borrow more than 300% of the value of our net assets without the approval of a majority of our independent directors and the borrowing must be disclosed and explained to our stockholders in our first quarterly report after such approval. Borrowing may be risky if the cash flow from our properties and other permitted investments is insufficient to meet our debt obligations. In addition, our lenders may seek to impose restrictions on future borrowings, distributions to stockholders and operating policies, including with respect to capital expenditures and asset dispositions. If we mortgage assets or pledge equity as collateral and we cannot meet our debt obligations, then the lender could take the collateral, and we would lose the asset or equity and the income we were deriving from the asset.

Existing debt agreements and future debt agreements contain and may contain restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to stockholders and from making other types of payments and investments.

When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distributions, operating policies, ability to incur additional debt and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders. Loan documents we enter into may also contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage a property or affect other operational policies. Such limitations would hamper our flexibility and may impair our ability to achieve our operating plans.

Disruption or volatility in the credit markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms, which could reduce the number of properties we may be able to acquire.

The global and U.S. economy have shown some signs of improvement in recent years. However, unemployment remains high and concerns continue to exist about the strength of the recovery. If mortgage debt is limited or if we are unable to obtain favorable terms as a result of increased interest rates, increased credit spreads, decreased liquidity or other factors, our ability to acquire properties may be limited and we risk being unable to refinance our existing debt upon maturity.

There is no guarantee that borrowing arrangements or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us.

Unfavorable economic conditions have increased financing costs and limited access to the capital markets. In addition, any decline in market value of our assets may have adverse consequences in instances where we borrow money based on the fair value of those assets and may make refinancing more difficult.

We may use credit facilities to finance our investments, which may require us to provide additional collateral and significantly impact our liquidity position.

We may use credit facilities to finance some of our investments. To the extent these credit facilities contain mark-to-market provisions, if the market value of the commercial real estate debt or securities pledged by us declines in value due to credit quality deterioration, we may be required by our lenders to provide additional collateral or pay down a portion of our borrowings. In a weakening economic environment, we would generally expect credit quality and the value of the commercial real estate debt or securities that serve as collateral for our credit facilities to decline and in such a scenario, it is likely that the terms of our credit facilities would require partial repayment from us, which could be substantial. Posting additional collateral to support our credit facilities could significantly reduce our liquidity and limit our ability to leverage our assets. In the event we do not have sufficient liquidity to meet such requirements, our lenders can accelerate our borrowings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

We may not be able to continue to borrow on our revolving line of credit.

Our current line of credit is subject to various requirements and financial covenants. We utilize our line of credit to fund operating expenses, distributions, debt service and other expenditures during seasonally slow periods and to make opportunistic acquisitions. In the event we are unable to maintain or extend existing and/or secure new lines of credit or collateralized financing on favorable terms, our ability to make new investments and improvements in existing properties as well as our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness, operating expenses and distributions may be significantly impacted.

Defaults on our borrowings may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Defaults on loans collateralized by a property we own may result in foreclosure actions and our loss of the property or properties securing the loan that is in default. Such legal actions are expensive. For tax purposes, a foreclosure would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt collateralized by the property. If the outstanding balance of the debt exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on the foreclosure and all or a portion of such taxable income may be subject to tax and/or required to be distributed to our stockholders in order for us to qualify as a REIT. In such case, we would not receive any cash proceeds to enable us to pay such tax or make such distributions. If any mortgages contain cross collateralization or cross default provisions, more than one property may be affected by a default. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due on our indebtedness may be adversely affected.

Financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations may adversely affect our ability to make distributions.

Some of our fixed-term financing arrangements may require us to make balloon payments at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or sell a particular property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may not be able to raise equity or refinance

 

43


Table of Contents

the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. These refinancing or property sales could negatively impact the rate of return to stockholders and the timing of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to stockholders.

We may borrow money that bears interest at a variable rate, and from time to time, we may incur mortgage loans or refinance our properties in a rising interest rate environment. Accordingly, increases in interest rates could increase our interest costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating cash flow and our ability to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.

We may acquire various financial instruments for purposes of hedging or reducing our risks which may be costly and/or ineffective and will reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Use of derivative instruments for hedging purposes may present significant risks, including the risk of loss of the amounts invested. Defaults by the other party to a hedging transaction can result in the hedging transaction becoming worthless or a speculative hedge. Hedging activities also involve the risk of an imperfect correlation between the hedging instrument and the asset being hedged, which could result in losses both on the hedging transaction and on the asset being hedged. Use of hedging activities generally may not prevent significant losses and could increase our losses. Further, hedging transactions may reduce cash available to pay amounts due on our indebtedness.

Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our senior notes.

Our substantial level of indebtedness could have other important consequences and significant effects on our business. For example, our level of indebtedness and the terms of our debt agreements may:

 

    make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations under our senior notes, our other indebtedness and our contractual and commercial commitments and increase the risk that we may default on our debt obligations;

 

    prevent us from raising the funds necessary to repurchase notes tendered to us if there is a change of control, which would constitute a default under the indenture governing our senior notes;

 

    heighten our vulnerability to downturns in our business, our industry or in the general economy and restrict us from exploiting business opportunities or making acquisitions;

 

    limit management’s discretion in operating our business;

 

    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, distributions and other general corporate purposes;

 

    place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;

 

    limit our ability to borrow additional funds; and

 

    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate or the general economy.

Each of these factors may have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and viability. Our ability to make payments with respect to our senior notes and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors affecting our Company and industry, many of which are beyond our control.

Table of Contents

The indenture governing our senior notes imposes significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries that may prevent us from pursuing certain business opportunities and restrict our ability to operate our business.

The indenture governing our senior notes contains covenants that restrict our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to take various actions, such as:

 

    transferring or selling assets;

 

    paying dividends or distributions, buying subordinated indebtedness or securities, making certain investments or making other restricted payments;

 

    incurring or guaranteeing additional indebtedness or issuing preferred stock;

 

    incurring dividend or other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries; incurring dividend or other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries;

 

    consummating a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all our assets;

 

    entering into transactions with affiliates;

 

    engaging in business other than a business that is the same or similar to our current business or a reasonably related extension thereof; and

 

    designating subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Additionally, the indenture requires us to maintain at all times total unencumbered assets of not less than 150% of the aggregated principle amount of our and our restricted subsidiaries unsecured indebtedness.

We may also be prevented from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise if we fail to meet certain ratios or because of the limitations imposed on us by the restrictive covenants under the indenture governing the notes. The restrictions contained in the indenture governing the notes may also limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions, meet capital needs or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans and adversely affect our ability to finance our operations, enter into acquisitions, execute our business strategy, effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted or engage in other business activities that would be in our interest. In the future, we may also incur debt obligations that might subject us to additional and different restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility. We cannot assure you that we will be granted waivers or amendments to the indenture governing the notes if for any reason we are unable to comply with the indenture, or that we will be able to refinance our debt on acceptable terms or at all should we seek to do so.

Our ability to comply with these covenants will likely be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will satisfy those requirements. A breach of any of these provisions could result in a default under our credit facility, the indenture governing the notes or any future credit facilities we may enter into, which could allow all amounts outstanding thereunder to be declared immediately due and payable, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents governing such indebtedness. If we were unable to repay the accelerated amounts, our secured lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness. This would likely in turn trigger cross-acceleration and cross-default rights under any other credit facilities and indentures, if any then exist governing the notes and the terms of our other indebtedness outstanding at such time. If the amounts outstanding under the notes or any other indebtedness outstanding at such time were to be accelerated or were the subject of foreclosure actions, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full the money owed to the lenders or to our other debt holders.

Tax Related Risks

We will be subject to increased taxation if we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We believe that we have been organized and have operated, and intend to continue to be organized and to operate, in a manner that will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. A REIT generally must distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income each year, excluding net capital gains, and meet other compliance requirements. To the extent that a REIT does not distribute all of its net capital gain or distributes at least 90%, but less than 100%, of its taxable income, it will be subject to tax on the undistributed amounts at regular corporate tax rates. We have not requested, and do not plan to request, a ruling from the IRS, that we qualify as a REIT. Our

 

45


Table of Contents

qualification as a REIT will depend on our continuing ability to meet highly technical and complex requirements concerning, among other things, the ownership of our outstanding shares of common stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income, the amount of our distributions to stockholders and the filing of TRS elections. No assurance can be given that we qualify or will continue to qualify as a REIT or that new legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to our qualification as a REIT.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be subject to additional federal income tax at regular corporate rates.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, for any taxable year (i) we will be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income for that year at regular corporate rates, (ii) unless entitled to relief under relevant statutory provisions, we will be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we lost our REIT status, and (iii) we will not be allowed a deduction for distributions made to stockholders in computing our taxable income. Therefore, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, the funds available to pay distributions to stockholders and amounts due under our indebtedness, may be reduced substantially for each of the years involved.

Our leases may be recharacterized as financings which would eliminate depreciation deductions on our properties.

We believe that we would be treated as the owner of properties where we would own the underlying land, except with respect to leases structured as “financing leases,” which would constitute financings for federal income tax purposes. If the lease of a property does not constitute a lease for federal income tax purposes and is recharacterized as a secured financing by the IRS, then we believe the lease should be treated as a financing arrangement and the income derived from such a financing arrangement should satisfy the 75% and the 95% gross income tests for REIT qualification as it would be considered to be interest on a loan collateralized by real property. Nevertheless, the recharacterization of a lease in this fashion may have adverse tax consequences for us. In particular, we would not be entitled to claim depreciation deductions with respect to the property (although we should be entitled to treat part of the payments we would receive under the arrangement as the repayment of principal). In such event, in some taxable years our taxable income, and the corresponding obligation to distribute 90% of such income, would be increased. With respect to leases structured as “financing leases,” we will report income received as interest income and will not take depreciation deductions related to the real property. Any increase in our distribution requirements may limit our ability to invest in additional properties and to make additional mortgage loans. No assurance can be provided that the IRS would recharacterize such transactions as financings that would qualify under the 95% and 75% gross income tests.

Excessive non-real estate asset values may jeopardize our REIT status.

In order to qualify as a REIT, among other requirements, at least 75% of the value of our assets must consist of investments in real estate, investments in other REITs, cash and cash equivalents and government securities. Accordingly, the value of any other property that is not considered a real estate asset for federal income tax purposes must represent in the aggregate not more than 25% of our total assets. In addition, under federal income tax law, we may not own securities in, or make loans to, any one company (other than a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary or a TRS) which represent in excess of 10% of the voting securities or 10% of the value of all securities of that company or which have, in the aggregate, a value in excess of 5% of our total assets, and we may not own securities of one or more TRSs which have, in the aggregate, a value in excess of 25% of our total assets.

The 25%, 10% and 5% REIT qualification tests are determined at the end of each calendar quarter. If we fail to meet any such test at the end of any calendar quarter, and such failure is not remedied within 30 days after the close of such quarter, we will cease to qualify as a REIT, unless certain requirements are satisfied.

Despite our REIT status, we remain subject to various taxes which would reduce operating cash flow if and to the extent certain liabilities are incurred.

Even if we qualify as a REIT, we are subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income and property that could reduce operating cash flow, including but not limited to: (i) tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income; (ii) “alternative minimum tax” on our items of tax preference; (iii) certain state income, franchise, and gross margins taxes (because not all states treat REITs the same as they are treated for federal income tax purposes); (iv) a tax

 

46


Table of Contents

equal to 100% of net gain from “prohibited transactions;” (v) tax on gains from the sale of certain “foreclosure property;” (vi) tax on gains of sale of certain “built-in gain” properties; and (vii) certain taxes and penalties if we fail to comply with one or more REIT qualification requirements, but nevertheless qualify to maintain our status as a REIT. Foreclosure property includes property with respect to which we acquire ownership by reason of a borrower’s default on a loan or possession by reason of a tenant’s default on a lease. We may elect to treat certain qualifying property as “foreclosure property,” in which case, the income from such property will be treated as qualifying income under the 75% and 95% gross income tests for three years following such acquisition. To qualify for such treatment, we must satisfy additional requirements, including that we operate the property through an independent contractor after a short grace period. We will be subject to tax on our net income from foreclosure property. Such net income generally means the excess of any gain from the sale or other disposition of foreclosure property and income derived from foreclosure property that otherwise does not qualify for the 75% gross income test, over the allowable deductions that relate to the production of such income.

We may be required to pay a penalty tax upon the sale of a property.

The federal income tax provisions applicable to REITs provide that any gain realized by a REIT on the sale of property held as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is treated as income from a “prohibited transaction” that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. Under current law, unless a sale of real property qualifies for a safe harbor, the question of whether the sale of a property constitutes the sale of property held primarily for sale to customers is generally a question of the facts and circumstances regarding a particular transaction. Under the safe harbor rules a REIT, among other things, is required to hold the property for two years before it may be sold. We intend that we and our subsidiaries will hold the interests in our properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring and owning properties, and to make occasional sales as are consistent with our investment objectives. We do not intend to engage in prohibited transactions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will make no more than seven sales within a year to satisfy the requirements of the safe harbor or that the IRS will not successfully assert that one or more of such sales are prohibited transactions.

The lease of qualified lodging and qualified heathcare properties to a TRS are subject to special requirements.

We lease certain qualified lodging and qualified healthcare properties we acquire from operators to a TRS (or a limited liability company of which the TRS is a member), which lessee will contract with such operators (or a related party) to manage and operate the lodging or healthcare operations at these properties. The rents from this TRS lessee structure will be treated as qualifying rents from real property if among other things, (i) they are paid pursuant to an arms-length lease of a qualified lodging or qualified healthcare property with a TRS and (ii) the operator qualifies as an eligible independent contractor. If any of these conditions are not satisfied, then the rents will not be qualifying rents for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests for REIT qualification.

Our ownership of TRS is limited, and our transactions with our TRSs will cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on arm’s length terms.

A REIT may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more TRSs. A TRS may hold assets and earn income that would not be qualifying assets or income if held or earned directly by a REIT. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the subsidiary as a TRS. A corporation of which a TRS directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a TRS. Overall, no more than 25% of the value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRSs. In addition, the rules applicable to TRSs limit the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The rules also impose a 100% excise tax on “redetermined rent” or “redetermined deductions” to the extent rent paid by a TRS exceeds an arm’s-length amount.

Our TRSs will pay U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their net taxable income, and their after-tax net income will be available for distribution to us but is not required to be distributed. We anticipate that the aggregate value of the stock and securities of our TRSs will be less than 25% of the value of our total assets (including the stock and securities of our TRSs). Furthermore, we will monitor the value of our respective investments in our TRSs for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the ownership limitations applicable to TRSs. In addition, we will scrutinize all of our transactions with our TRSs to ensure that they are entered into on arm’s-length terms to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply

 

47


Table of Contents

with the 25% limitation discussed above or to avoid application of the 100% excise tax discussed above. While we believe our leases have customary terms and reflect normal business practices and that the rents paid thereto reflect market terms, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree.

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect the returns to our stockholders.

In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of the federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in shares of our common stock. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur, and we cannot assure our stockholders that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. Our stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on their investment in our shares and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares.

Although REITs continue to receive substantially more favorable tax treatment than entities taxed as corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a corporation. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interest of our stockholders.

Company Related Risks

We have paid and we may continue to pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations or funds from operation, which may reduce the amount of capital available for operations, may have negative tax implications, and may have a negative effect on the value of your shares under certain conditions.

Our organizational documents permit us to make distributions from any source, including cash flows from operating activities, proceeds from the sale of assets, borrowings from affiliates and other persons in anticipation of future net operating cash flow, which may be unsecured or secured by our assets, and proceeds of equity offerings. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 100.0% of distributions were funded from cash flows from operating activities. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 46.3% and 55.9%, respectively, of distributions were funded from borrowings. In the future we may continue to borrow money to make cash distributions or fund distributions from other sources as we consider necessary or advisable to meet our distribution requirements.

Our distributions have exceeded our earnings and profits in the past and will likely do so in the future. To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash distributed in any given year exceeds the amount of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for the same period, the excess amount will be deemed a return of capital for federal income tax purposes, rather than a return on capital. Furthermore, in the event that we are unable to fund future distributions from our cash flows from operating activities, the value of your shares upon the possible Listing of our stock, the sale of our assets or any other exit event may be negatively affected.

At any time that we are not generating cash flow from operations sufficient to cover the current distribution rate, we may determine to pay lower distributions, or to fund all or a portion of our future distributions from other sources. If we utilize borrowings for the purpose of funding all or a portion of our distributions, we will incur additional interest expense. We have not established any limit on the extent to which we may use alternate sources of cash for distributions, except that, in accordance with the law of the State of Maryland and our organizational documents, generally, we may not make distributions that would: (i) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, (ii) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities, or (iii) jeopardize our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Distributions that exceed cash flow from operations may not be sustainable at current levels, or at all.

Our distribution policy is subject to change. We may not be able to pay distributions at our current or an increasing rate.

The actual amount and timing of distributions are determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion and typically will depend on the amount of funds available for distribution, our financial condition, current and projected

Table of Contents

capital expenditure requirements, tax considerations and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our qualification as a REIT. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time; and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to continue current distribution rates, or pay any subsequent distributions. Our ability to declare and pay distributions at our current or an increasing rate will be subject to evaluation by our board of directors of our current and expected future operating results, capital levels, financial condition, future growth plans, general business and economic conditions and other relevant considerations, and we cannot assure you that we will continue to pay distributions on any schedule or that we will not reduce the amount of or cease paying distributions in the future. Future distribution levels are subject to adjustment based upon any one or more risk factors set forth herein, as well as other factors that our board of directors may, from time to time, deem relevant to consider when determining an appropriate common stock distribution.

We rely on the senior management team of our Advisor, the loss of whom could significantly harm our business.

Our continued success will depend to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of the senior management team of our Advisor. These individuals are important to our business and strategy and to the extent that any of them departs and is not replaced with a qualified substitute, such person’s departure could harm our operations and financial condition.

Because not all REITs calculate modified funds from operations the same way, our use of modified funds from operations may not provide meaningful comparisons with other REITs.

We use modified funds from operations, or MFFO, and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which intend to have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. However, not all REITs calculate MFFO the same way. If REITs use different methods of calculating MFFO, it may not be possible for investors to meaningfully compare the performance of certain REITs.

We may change the purchase price per share under our distribution reinvestment plan or cease to offer our distribution reinvestment plan entirely.

Effective March 6, 2014, as a result of the approval of the Company’s NAV as of December 31, 2013, the purchase price per share under our distribution reinvestment plan is $6.85 based on the estimated fair value per share as determined by the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2013. We cannot assure you that we will continue to allow investors to purchase shares under the distribution reinvestment plan at the current price or offer the distribution reinvestment plan at all.

Although we have adopted an amended redemption plan, we have discretion not to redeem your shares, to suspend the plan and to cease redemptions.

Effective August 9, 2012 the Board of Directors approved an amended redemption plan which includes restrictions that limit a stockholders’ ability to have their shares redeemed and changes the basis of the redemption price to the Company’s value per share as determined by the Board of Directors applicable on the date of the redemption request. Except for redemption sought upon death, qualifying disability, bankruptcy or unforeseeable emergency of a stockholder, our stockholders must hold their shares for at least one year before presenting for our consideration all or any portion equal to at least 25% of such shares to us for redemption at varying percentages of the fair value per share on the date of redemption. We limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to the redemption plan as follows: (i) at no time during any 12-month period, may we redeem more than 5% of the weighted-average shares of our common stock at the beginning of such 12-month period and (ii) during each quarter, redemptions will be limited to an amount determined by our Board Of Directors. There is currently a back-log of redemption requests. The redemption plan has many limitations and you should not rely upon it as a method of selling shares promptly at a desired price.

The liquidation of our assets may be delayed.

If our shares are not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market on or before December 31, 2015, absent an affirmative vote of our stockholders to extend the date, we are obligated under our articles of incorporation to sell our assets and distribute the net sales proceeds to our stockholders

or merge with another entity in a transaction that provides our stockholders with cash or securities of a publicly traded company. In such instances, we will engage only in activities related to our orderly liquidation or merger, unless stockholders owning a majority of our shares of common stock elect to extend our duration by amendment of our articles of incorporation. Neither our advisor nor our Board of Directors may be able to control the timing of the sale of our assets or completion of a merger, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell our assets or merge with another company so as to return our stockholders’ aggregate invested capital, generate a profit for the stockholders, or fully satisfy our debt obligations. Because we have used a portion of the offering proceeds to pay expenses and fees, and the full net offering proceeds were not invested in properties, loans or other investments, we will only return all of our stockholders’ invested capital if we sell our assets or the company for a sufficient amount in excess of the original purchase price of our assets. If we take a purchase money obligation in partial payment of the sales price of a property, we may realize the proceeds of the sale over a period of years.

Changes in accounting pronouncements could adversely impact our or our tenants’ reported financial performance.

Accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Commission, entities that create and interpret appropriate accounting standards, may change the financial accounting and reporting standards, or their interpretation and application of the standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. Such changes could have a material impact on our reported financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements. Similarly, these changes could have a material impact on our tenants’ reported financial condition or results of operations and affect their preferences regarding leasing real estate. In such event, tenants may determine not to lease properties from us, or, if applicable, not to exercise their option to renew their leases with us. This in turn could make it more difficult for us to enter into leases on terms we find favorable and impact the distributions to stockholders.

Cyber security risks and cyber incidents could adversely affect our business and disrupt operations.

Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. These incidents can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. The result of these incidents could include, but are not limited to, disrupted operations, misstated financial data, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cyber security protection costs, litigation and reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence.

If we decide to list our common stock on a national securities exchange, we may wish to lower our distribution rate in order to optimize the price at which our shares would trade.

If our board of directors should elect to effect an exit event by listing our common stock on a national securities exchange, a reduction in the distribution rate could occur with or in advance of such a listing, as the public market for listed REITs appears to reward those that have a more conservative distribution policy.

If our risk management systems are ineffective, we may be exposed to material unanticipated losses.

We will continue to refine our risk management techniques, strategies and assessment methods. However, our risk management techniques and strategies may not fully mitigate the risk exposure of our operations in all economic or market environments, or against all types of risk, including risks that we might fail to identify or anticipate. Any failures in our risk management techniques and strategies to accurately quantify such risk exposure could limit our ability to manage risks in our operations or to seek adequate risk-adjusted returns.

Risks Related to Our Valuation

Valuations and appraisals of our properties and real estate-related assets are estimates of value and may not necessarily correspond to realizable value.

In March 2014, we announced our revised estimated NAV per share of $6.85 as of December 31, 2013. In determining the NAV, the board of directors considered various analyses and information including appraisals by CBRE Capital Advisors, an independent valuation advisor.

The valuation methodologies used to value our assets involve subjective judgments regarding such factors as comparable sales, rental revenue and operating expense data, the capitalization or discount rate, and projections of future rent, property operating income and expenses based on appropriate analysis. Further, the valuations that we obtain on our properties may be based on the value of the properties when the properties are leased, and if the leases on the properties terminate, the value of the properties may fall significantly below the appraised value. As a result, valuations and appraisals of our properties and real estate-related assets are only estimates of value. Ultimate realization of the value of an asset depends to a great extent on economic and other conditions beyond our control. Further, valuations do not necessarily represent the price at which an asset would sell. Therefore, the valuations of our properties and our investments in real estate-related assets may not correspond to the realizable value upon a sale of those assets. There will be no retroactive adjustment in the valuation of such assets, the price of our shares of common stock, the price we paid to redeem shares of our common stock to the extent such valuations prove to not accurately reflect the true estimate of value. There will be no retroactive change to fees paid or payable to the advisor and the managing dealer. Prior to the announcement of our estimated NAV in August 2012, the price you paid for our common stock in our equity offerings was based on a number of factors, including what we believed investors would pay for our shares, estimated fees to be paid to third parties and to our Advisor and its affiliates, the expenses of our public offering, and the funds we believed should be available for us to invest in properties, loans and other permitted investments. You may have paid more than realizable value or receive less than realizable value for your investment.

Our value per share is not subject to GAAP, will not be independently audited and will involve subjective judgments by parties involved in valuing our assets and liabilities.

Our methodology and our value per share are not subject to GAAP and will not be subject to independent audit. Our value per share may differ from equity (net assets) reflected on our audited financial statements, even if we are required to adopt a fair value basis of accounting for GAAP financial statement purposes. Our estimated net asset value per share is based, in part, on estimates of the values of our properties, consisting principally of illiquid real estate and other assets, and liabilities as of December 31, 2013. The valuation methodologies used by the independent investment banking firm retained by our board of directors to estimate the value of our properties and the estimated net asset value of our shares as of December 31, 2013, involved subjective judgments, assumptions and opinions, which may or may not turn out to be correct.

The estimated fair value per share is not intended to be related to any analysis of individual asset values performed for financial statement purposes nor to the values at which individual assets may be carried on financial statements under GAAP. Accordingly, you will be relying entirely on our board of directors to adopt an appropriate valuation methodology and approve an appropriate estimated fair value per share, which may not correspond to realizable value upon a sale of our assets.

Our value per share may change over time if the valuations of our properties materially change from prior valuations or the actual operating results materially differ from what we originally projected.

Subsequent estimated fair values per share may increase or decrease from the initial estimated fair value per share. Actual operating results may differ from what we originally projected, which may cause an increase or decrease in the estimated fair value per share.

Our estimated net asset value per share may not be indicative of the price at which our shares would trade if they were actively traded.

Our board of directors determined our estimated per share value of our shares utilizing a valuation report from an independent investment banking firm as valuation expert. Although we used guidelines recommended by the Investment Program Association for valuing issued or outstanding shares of non-traded real estate investment trusts such as us, our estimated net asset value per share may not be indicative of either the price at which our shares would trade if they were listed on a national exchange or actively traded by brokers or of the proceeds that a stockholder would receive if we were liquidated or dissolved and the proceeds were distributed to our stockholders.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest and Our Relationships with Our Advisor and Its Affiliates

There may be conflicts of interest because of interlocking boards of directors with affiliated companies.

James M. Seneff, Jr. and Thomas K. Sittema serve as our chairman and vice chairman, respectively, and as directors of our board and concurrently serve as directors for CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. Mr. Seneff also currently serves as chairman and a director for Global Growth Trust, Inc. and for Global Income Trust, Inc.

There will be competing demands on our officers and directors and they may not devote all of their attention to us which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Two of our directors, James M. Seneff, Jr. and Thomas K. Sittema are also officers and directors of our advisor and other affiliated entities and may experience conflicts of interest in managing us because they also have management responsibilities for other companies including companies that may invest in some of the same types of assets in which we may invest. In addition, substantially all of the other companies that they work for are affiliates of us and/or our advisor. For these reasons, all of these individuals will share their management time and services among those companies and us, and will not devote all of their attention to us and could take actions that are more favorable to the other companies than to us.

In addition, Stephen H. Mauldin, our president and chief executive officer and Joseph T. Johnson, our chief financial officer, and our other officers serve as officers of, and devote time to, CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc., with similar investment objectives and which owns assets in several of the asset classes in which we invest, and may serve as officers of, and devote time to, other companies which may be affiliated with us in the future. These officers may experience conflicts of interest in managing us because they also have management responsibilities for CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. For these reasons, these officers will share their management time and services between CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. and us, and will not devote all of their attention to us and could take actions that are more favorable to CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. than to us.

Other real estate investment programs sponsored by CNL use investment strategies that are similar to ours. Our advisor and its affiliates, and their and our executive officers will face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of properties and other investments, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.

One or more real estate investment programs sponsored by CNL may be seeking to invest in properties and other real estate-related investments similar to the assets we are seeking to acquire. CNL has three other public active real estate investment programs which may make investments similar to ours. All of these programs invest in commercial properties. As a result, we may be buying properties and other real estate-related investments at the same time as other programs sponsored by CNL and managed by the executive officers of our advisor or its affiliates are also buying properties and other real estate-related investments. We cannot assure you that properties we want to acquire will be allocated to us in this situation. CNL is not required to allocate each prospective investment to our advisor for review. Our advisor may choose a property that provides lower returns to us than a property allocated to another program sponsored by CNL. In addition, we may acquire properties in geographic areas where other programs sponsored by CNL own properties. If one of such other programs sponsored by CNL attracts a tenant that we are competing for, we could suffer a loss of revenue due to delays in locating another suitable tenant. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts of interest are resolved.

Our advisor and its affiliates, including all of our executive officers and our affiliated directors, will face conflicts of interest as a result of their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the best interest of our stockholders.

Although our advisory agreement was amended in March 2014 to reduce asset management fees and eliminate acquisition fees on equity, performance fees, debt acquisition fees and disposition fees, we continue to pay our advisor and its affiliates substantial fees. These fees could influence their advice to us, as well as the judgment of affiliates of our advisor performing services for us. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:

 

    the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with our advisor and its affiliates; and

 

    borrowings to acquire assets, which increase the asset management fees payable to our advisor.

 

52


Table of Contents

The fees our advisor receives in connection with transactions involving the purchase and management of our assets are not necessarily based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us. The basis upon which fees are calculated may influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.

None of the agreements with our advisor or any other affiliates were negotiated at arm’s length.

Agreements with our advisor, and its affiliates may contain terms that are not in our best interest and would not otherwise apply if we entered into agreements negotiated at arm’s length with third parties.

We will not be in privity of contract with service providers that may be engaged by our advisor to perform advisory services and they may be insulated from liabilities to us, and our advisor may have minimal assets with which to remedy any liabilities to us.

Our advisor subcontracts with affiliated and unaffiliated service providers for the performance of substantially all or a portion of its advisory services. In the event our advisor elects to subcontract with any service provider, our advisor will enter into an agreement with such service provider and we will not be a party to such agreement. As a result, we will not be in privity of contract with any such service provider and, therefore, such service provider will have no direct duties, obligations or liabilities to us. In addition, we will have no right to any indemnification to which our advisor may be entitled under any agreement with a service provider. The service providers our advisor may subcontract with may be insulated from liabilities to us for services they perform, but may have certain liabilities to our advisor. Our advisor may have minimal assets with which to remedy any liabilities to us resulting under the advisory agreement.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe, based upon currently available information that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

A purported class action lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares under our DRP on or after April 1, 2010, Allyn v. CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. et al., was filed on January 18, 2013 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company and certain of our current and former directors. The lawsuit alleged claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the directors and constructive trust and unjust enrichment against the Company. On November 27, 2013, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a cause of action and dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, from which no appeal was taken.

PART II

 

Item  5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECRUITIES

Market Information

There is no established public trading market for our common stock, therefore, there is a risk that a stockholder may not be able to sell our stock at a time or price acceptable to the stockholder, or at all. Unless and until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, it is not expected that a public market for the shares will develop.

Estimated Fair Value per Share

In order to assist broker dealers with their obligations under applicable FINRA rules with respect to customer account statements and to assist fiduciaries in discharging their obligations under Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) reporting requirements, we will evaluate the estimated fair value of the Company’s shares on an annual basis. In August 2012, we announced an estimated NAV of $7.31 per share. On March 4, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a revised estimated NAV per share of $6.85 as of December 31, 2013. In connection with establishing the estimated NAV, our Board of Directors engaged an independent investment banking firm, CBRE Capital Advisors, Inc. (“CBRE Cap”), as our valuation expert to provide property-level and aggregate valuation analyses of the Company and considered other information provided by a variety of sources including our Advisor.

Background

In November 2013, our Board of Directors initiated a process to estimate our NAV to provide investors and brokers an indication of the estimated value of our shares based on our acquisitions to date and current portfolio. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, comprised solely of independent directors, was charged with oversight of the valuation process. On the recommendation of the Audit Committee and the approval of our Board of Directors, we engaged CBRE Cap as our independent valuation expert.

From CBRE Cap’s engagement through the issuance of its valuation report as of December 31, 2013 (the “Valuation Report”), CBRE Cap held discussions with our Advisor and senior management and conducted or commissioned appraisals, investigations, research, review and analyses as it deemed necessary. On March 3, 2014 the Audit Committee, upon its receipt and review of the Valuation Report, concluded that it was reasonable. On March 4, 2014, the Audit Committee and our Board of Directors unanimously approved $6.85 as the estimated NAV of the our common stock as of December 31, 2013, which is within the range of estimated net asset values set forth in the Valuation Report. The current estimated NAV does not include any potential additional value relating to the size or scale of components of our lifestyle-related portfolio of assets. These types of portfolio premiums are often obtained upon the sale of larger collections of like assets, but of course, are not assured. In addition, the estimated NAV is simply a snapshot in time and is not necessarily indicative of the value we would expect to realize from the portfolio as we pursue strategies to provide liquidity. CBRE Cap is not responsible for the estimated NAV and did not participate in the determination of the New DRP Price.

Valuation Methodologies

In preparing the Valuation Report, CBRE Cap, among other things:

 

    reviewed financial and operating information requested from or provided by our Advisor and senior management;

 

    reviewed and discussed with our senior management of the Company and our Advisor the historical and anticipated future financial performance of our properties, including forecasts prepared by our senior management, our Advisor, and our joint venture partners;

 

    commissioned restricted use appraisals which contained analysis on each of our real property assets (“MAI Appraisals”) and performed analyses and studies for each property;

 

64


Table of Contents
    conducted or reviewed CBRE proprietary research, including market and sector capitalization rate surveys;

 

    reviewed third-party research, including Wall Street equity reports and online data providers;

 

    compared our financial information to similar information of companies that CBRE Cap deemed to be comparable; and

 

    reviewed our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report and Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

MAI Appraisals of all of our properties were performed in accordance with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”). The MAI Appraisals were commissioned by CBRE Cap from CBRE Appraisal Group, a CBRE affiliate that conducts appraisals and valuations of real properties. Each of the MAI Appraisals was prepared by personnel who are members of the Appraisal Institute and have the Member of Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) designations.

As of December 31, 2013, our investment portfolio consisted of interests in 151 assets, including seven loans in the ski and mountain lifestyle, golf, attractions, senior housing, marinas, and additional lifestyle property sectors.

As a result, for the purposes of the Valuation Report, our real estate properties were classified into three categories: wholly owned operating assets, partially owned operating assets, and vacant land. Our Board of Directors considered the following valuation methodologies with respect to each asset class, which were applied by CBRE Cap and summarized in its Valuation Report:

Wholly Owned Operating Assets. Unlevered, ten-year discounted cash flow analyses from MAI Appraisals were created for our wholly owned, fully operational properties. For non-stabilized properties, lease-up discounts were applied to discounted cash flow to arrive at an “As Is” value. The “terminal capitalization rate” method was used to calculate terminal value of the assets, with such rates varying based on the specific geographic location and other relevant factors. Certain of our wholly owned golf course assets were valued based on market knowledge of recent activity for similar properties, as well as qualified inquiries for the acquisition of various properties owned by us.

Partially Owned Operating Assets. Assumed the sale of partially-owned portfolios on December 31, 2013 and derived the net proceeds after debt repayment to capture the specific joint venture promote structures to properly reflect our economic interest in each asset. For the sale values, CBRE Cap relied on the DCF value indications by property from MAI Appraisals. The terminal capitalization rate method was used to calculate terminal value of the assets, with such rates varying based on the specific geographic location and other relevant factors.

Vacant Land. CBRE Cap utilized the MAI Appraisal vacant land value based on market sales comparables.

Valuation Summary; Material Assumptions

The valuation process used by us to determine an estimated NAV was designed to follow recommendations of the Investment Program Association, a trade association for non-listed direct investment vehicles (the “IPA”), in the IPA Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, which was adopted by the IPA effective May 1, 2013.

In its Valuation Report, CBRE Cap included an estimate of the December 31, 2013 value of our assets, including cash and select other assets net of payables, and accruals and other liabilities. Such values were estimated by our management using the preliminary balance sheet accounts as of December 31, 2013 and may not agree to the audited balance sheet disclosed in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. The fair market value of debt was estimated by discounting the required payments under our debt agreements using the estimated interest rate that it would expect to receive had it entered into the agreement as of December 31, 2013.

Taking into consideration the reasonableness of the valuation methodologies, assumptions and conclusions contained in CBRE Cap’s Valuation Report, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors determined the estimated value of our NAV taking into account CBRE Cap’s Valuation Report and information provided by a variety of sources including our Advisor.

Table of Contents

As with any valuation methodology, the methodologies considered by the Audit Committee and our Board of Directors, in reaching an estimate of the value of our shares, are based upon all of the foregoing estimates, assumptions, judgments and opinions that may, or may not, prove to be correct. The use of different estimates, assumptions, judgments or opinions may have resulted in significantly different estimates of the value of our shares.

Impact Factors

There are several primary factors driving the reduction from our previously reported estimated NAV. More than two-thirds of our assets were acquired between 2004 and 2008 – prior to the Great Recession – and our golf and marinas portfolios have been particularly impacted and declined in value as these sectors continue to experience residual challenges brought on by the economic downturn. We have worked aggressively to stabilize property operations and replace underperforming tenants to position these assets for improved performance. Our updated estimated NAV was also negatively impacted by a higher fair market valuation of our corporate bonds that have been consistently trading at a premium to par value, and an earlier than expected repurchase of our joint venture interests in 42 Sunrise senior housing communities. However, our senior housing portfolio continues to perform exceptionally well, partially offsetting the decline. Our ski and attractions portfolio valuations were largely consistent with our last estimated NAV, having increased in value during our ownership. For the attractions portfolio, this was in spite of extraordinary weather conditions at our largest theme park, Darien Lake, which recorded more than 30 percent fewer rain-free operating days in 2013 as compared to the prior season.

Additional Information Regarding the Valuation, Limitations of Estimated Share Value and the Engagement of CBRE Cap

Throughout the valuation process, the Audit Committee, our Advisor and senior members of management reviewed, confirmed and approved the processes and methodologies and their consistency with real estate industry standards and best practices.

CBRE Cap’s Valuation Report dated December 31, 2013 was based upon market, economic, financial and other information, circumstances and conditions existing prior to December 31, 2013, and any material change in such information, circumstances and/or conditions may have a material effect on our estimated NAV. CBRE Cap’s valuation materials were addressed solely to the Company’s board of directors to assist it in establishing an estimated value of our common stock. CBRE Cap’s valuation materials were not addressed to the public and should not be relied upon by any other person to establish an estimated value our common stock. CBRE Cap’s Valuation Report does not constitute a recommendation by CBRE Cap to purchase or sell any shares of our common stock.

Table of Contents

In connection with its review, while CBRE Cap reviewed for reasonableness the information supplied or otherwise made available to it by us or our Advisor, CBRE Cap assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all such information and of all information supplied or otherwise made available to it by any other party, and did not undertake any duty or responsibility to verify independently any of such information. With respect to financial forecasts and other information and data provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with CBRE Cap, CBRE Cap assumed that such forecasts and other information and data were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the Company, and relied upon us to advise CBRE Cap promptly if any information previously provided became inaccurate or was required to be updated during the period of its review. In preparing its valuation materials, CBRE Cap did not, and was not requested to, solicit third party indications of interest for the Company in connection with possible purchases of our securities or the acquisition of all or any part of the Company.

In performing its analyses, CBRE Cap made numerous assumptions as of various points in time with respect to industry performance, general business, economic and regulatory conditions, current and future rental market for our operating properties and those in development and other matters, many of which are necessarily subject to change and beyond the control of CBRE Cap and the Company. The analyses performed by CBRE Cap are not necessarily indicative of actual values, trading values or actual future results of our common stock that might be achieved, all of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by the Valuation Report. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which the properties may actually be sold, and such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty. The actual value of our common stock may vary significantly depending on numerous factors that generally impact the price of securities, the financial condition of the Company and the state of the real estate industry more generally. Accordingly, with respect to the estimated NAV of our common stock, neither we nor CBRE Cap can give any assurance that:

 

    a stockholder would be able to resell his or her shares at this estimated value;

 

    a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to our estimated NAV upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or a sale of the Company;

 

    our shares would trade at a price equal to or greater than the estimated NAV if we listed them on a national securities exchange; or

 

    the methodology used to estimate our NAV would be acceptable to FINRA or under ERISA for compliance with its reporting requirements.

The December 31, 2013 estimated NAV was determined by our board of directors on March 4, 2014. The value of the Company’s shares will fluctuate over time as a result of, among other things, developments related to individual assets and responses to the real estate and capital markets. We currently expect to update and announce our estimated NAV at least annually.

Secondary Sales of Registered Shares between Investors

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we are aware of transfers of 963,650 and 448,691 shares between investors, respectively. We are not aware of any other trades of our shares, other than purchases made in our public offerings and redemptions of shares by us. The following table reflects, for each calendar quarter, the high, the low and the average sales prices for transfers of shares between investors during 2013 and 2012 of which we are aware, net of commissions:

Distributions

We intend to continue to declare and pay distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis. The amount of distributions declared to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors and is dependent upon a number of factors, including:

 

    Sources of cash available for distribution such as current year and inception to date cumulative cash flows from operating activities, Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”) and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), as well as expected future long-term stabilized cash flows, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted EBITDA;

 

    The proportion of distributions paid in cash compared to the amount being reinvested through our DRP;

 

    Limitations and restrictions contained in the terms of our current and future indebtedness concerning the payment of distributions; and

 

    Other factors such as the avoidance of distribution volatility, our objective of continuing to qualify as a REIT, capital requirements, the general economic environment and other factors.

We have and may continue to use borrowings and proceeds from our DRP to fund a portion of our distributions in order to avoid distribution volatility. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”Sources and Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information related to our sources of cash for distributions.

On August 9, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a reduction in quarterly distributions to $0.10625 per share, effective during the third quarter of 2012. On an annualized basis, this amount represented a yield of 5.81% on our estimated NAV of $7.31 per share and 4.25% on our original $10.00 per share value offering price. In March 2014, our Board of Directors approved the revised estimated NAV of $6.85 per share as of December 31, 2013 and kept the distributions per share at $0.10625 on a quarterly basis, representing an annualized yield of 6.2% of our revised estimated NAV of $6.85 per share. Our Board of Directors will continue to actively evaluate our distribution rate going forward and will make adjustments as it believes is appropriate based on changes in our expected cash flows, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted EBITDA.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 29.3% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered capital gain as a result of the gain on the sale of our three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures and approximately 70.7% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. For both of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 0.0% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered taxable income and approximately 100.0% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. Due to a variety of factors, the characterization of distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2013 may not be indicative of the characterization of distributions that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. No amounts distributed to stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were required to be or have been treated as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital as described in our advisory agreement. In determining the apportionment between taxable income and a return of capital, the amounts distributed to stockholders (other than any amounts designated as capital gains dividends) in excess of current or accumulated Earnings and Profits (“E&P”) are treated as a return of capital to the stockholders. E&P is a statutory calculation, which is derived from net income and determined in accordance with the Code. It is not intended to be a measure of the REIT’s performance, nor do we consider it to be an absolute measure or indicator of our source or ability to pay distributions to stockholders.

The following table represents total distributions declared including cash distributions, distributions reinvested and distributions per share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands except per share data):

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) Distributions reinvested may be dilutive to stockholders to the extent that they are not covered by cash flows from operations, FFO and MFFO and such shortfalls are instead covered by borrowings.
(2) Cash flows from operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP are not necessarily indicative of the amount of cash available to pay distributions. For example, GAAP requires that the payment of acquisition fees and costs be classified as a use of cash in operating activities in the statement of cash flows, which directly reduces the measure of cash flows from operations. However, acquisition fees and costs are paid for with proceeds from our offerings and debt financings as opposed to operating cash flows. The Board of Directors also uses other measures such as FFO and MFFO in order to evaluate the level of distributions.
(3) The shortfall in cash flows from operating activities versus distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2012 was 46.3% and was funded with borrowings.

Table of Contents

Our cash flows from operating activities will fluctuate due to the seasonality of certain properties. As such, we anticipate cash flows from operating activities to increase during the third quarter to reflect the peak seasonal period of our attractions properties.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

In 2011 we completed our final offering and filed a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Security Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, to register the sale of up to an additional $250 million (26.3 million shares of common stock) under our DRP. Shares were originally sold under the DRP at a price of $9.50 per share, representing a 5% discount from our public offering price of $10.00. In August 2012, DRP shares were offered at $6.95, which represented a 5% discount to our estimated NAV of $7.31 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we raised approximately $54.9 million, $69.0 million and $83.5 million, respectively, through our DRP. In March 2014, our Board of Directors approved a revised estimate of NAV of $6.85 per share as of December 31, 2013 and amended the DRP so that shares under our DRP would be sold at the new estimated NAV per share of $6.85 rather than a discount to the NAV. We anticipate we will continue to raise capital through our DRP and will use such proceeds for acquisitions and enhancements, distributions shortfalls and other corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 93,875 common stockholders of record.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

None.

Redemption of Shares

We redeem shares pursuant to our redemption plan, which is designed to provide eligible stockholders with limited interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us prior to any listing of our shares. There is currently a sizable backlog and a waiting list for redemption requests and stockholders will likely wait a long period of time to have their shares redeemed, if ever.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) This amount represents redemption request cancellations and other adjustments.
(2) Requests that are not fulfilled in whole during a particular quarter will be redeemed on a pro rata basis to the extent funds are made available pursuant to the redemption plan.

We are not obligated to redeem shares under our redemption plan. However, if we elect to redeem shares, the aggregate amount of funds that will be used to redeem shares pursuant to the redemption plan will be determined on a quarterly basis in the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and may be less than, but is not expected to exceed, the aggregate proceeds received through our DRP.

Effective for the first quarter of 2012, our Board of Directors approved redemptions of up to $1.75 million per calendar quarter. In addition, on August 9, 2012, our Board of Directors approved an increase of the redemption amount to the lesser of (i) $3.0 million per calendar quarter or (ii) the amount of aggregate proceeds available under the DRP, effective as of the third quarter of 2012.

For shareholders redeemed prior to August 2012, the redemption price per share was a percentage of the offering price; and the applicable percentage was based on the number of years the stockholder held the shares as of the date of the redemption request (the “Redemption Percentage”). On August 9, 2012, our Board determined that the estimated NAV per share was $7.31. We executed the Third Amended and Restated Redemption Plan (the “Redemption Plan”) to revise the redemption price so that for those shares redeemed after August 2012, the redemption price per share would be based on the applicable Redemption Percentage of our revised estimated value per share on the date the redemption was effected.

In March 2014, our Board approved a revised estimated NAV of $6.85 per share as of December 31, 2013 and redemptions will be processed at that price effective March 2014. Prior to March 2014, our redemption plan provided for redemptions of our common stock at prices ranging between 92.5% and 100.0% of our current estimated NAV per share, depending on the length of time that the shares were owned. In March 2014, our Board approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Redemption Plan whereby the tiered redemption price structure was discontinued and all shares that have been held for at least one year may now be submitted for redemption at an amount equal to our NAV per share as of the redemption date.

Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate and determine the amount of shares to be redeemed based on what it believes to be in the best interest of the company and our stockholders, as the redemption of shares dilutes the amount of cash available to make acquisitions and for other corporate purposes. At no time during a 12-month period, however, may the number of shares we redeem pursuant to the redemption plan (if we determine to redeem shares) exceed 5% of the weighted-average shares of our common stock at the beginning of such 12-month period. To date we have not exceeded this limit, and we do not anticipate that we will reach the maximum number of shares redeemable under our Redemption Plan during the next twelve months.

Table of Contents

Any stockholder who has held shares for not less than one year (other than our Advisor) may present for our consideration, all or any portion of his or her shares for redemption at any time, in accordance with the procedures outlined herein. Commitments to redeem shares will be made at the end of each quarter and will be communicated to each stockholder who has submitted a redemption request in writing. A stockholder may present fewer than all of his or her shares to us for redemption provided, however, that:

 

    the minimum number of shares which must be presented for redemption shall be at least 25% of his or her shares and

 

    if such stockholder retains any shares, he or she must retain at least $5,000 worth of shares based on the Redemption Date Value.

At such time, we may, at our sole option, choose to redeem such shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent we have sufficient funds available. There is no assurance that there will be sufficient funds available for redemption or that we will exercise our discretion to redeem such shares and, accordingly, a stockholder’s shares may not be redeemed. Factors that we will consider in making our determinations to redeem shares include:

 

    whether such redemption impairs our capital or operations;

 

    whether an emergency makes such redemption not reasonably practical;

 

    whether any governmental or regulatory agency with jurisdiction over us demands such action for the protection of our stockholders;

 

    whether such redemption would be unlawful; and

 

    whether such redemption, when considered with all other redemptions, sales, assignments, transfers and exchanges of our shares, could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT for tax purposes.

In the event there are insufficient funds to redeem all of the shares for which redemption requests have been submitted, and we have determined to redeem shares, we will redeem pending requests at the end of each quarter in the following order:

 

  (i) pro rata as to redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death;

 

  (ii) pro rata as to redemptions sought by stockholders with a qualifying disability;

 

  (iii) pro rata as to redemptions sought by stockholders subject to bankruptcy;

 

  (iv) pro rata as to redemptions sought by stockholders in the event of an unforeseeable emergency;

 

  (v) pro rata as to stockholders subject to mandatory distribution requirements under an individual retirement arrangement (an “IRA”);

 

  (vi) pro rata as to redemptions that would result in a stockholder owning less than 100 shares; and

 

  (vii) pro rata as to all other redemption requests.

With respect to a stockholder whose shares are not redeemed due to insufficient funds in that quarter, the redemption request will be retained by us unless it is withdrawn by the stockholder, and such shares will be redeemed in subsequent quarters as funds become available and before any subsequently received redemption requests are honored, subject to the priority for redemption requests listed in (i) through (vi) above. Until such time as the company redeems the shares, a stockholder may withdraw its redemption request as to any remaining shares not redeemed. Redeemed shares are considered retired and will not be reissued.

Table of Contents

Our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may amend or suspend the redemption plan at any time it determines that such amendment or suspension is in our best interest. If our Board of Directors amends or suspends the redemption plan, we will provide stockholders with at least 30 days advance notice prior to effecting such amendment or suspension: (i) in our annual or quarterly reports or (ii) by means of a separate mailing accompanied by disclosure in a current or periodic report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The redemption plan will terminate, and we no longer shall accept shares for redemption, if and when Listing occurs.

The Company’s Redemption Plan is designed to provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to the Company prior to the listing of shares.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) We evaluated the carrying value of our properties for impairment and determined that the carrying value on some of our properties were not recoverable and recorded impairment provisions of approximately $248.2 million, $10 thousand, $3.2 million and $24.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We did not record an impairment provision for the year ended December 31, 2009. Certain of our tenants experienced financial difficulties and have defaulted on their leases. As a result, we terminated their leases and recorded losses on lease terminations of approximately $1.1 million, $25.2 million, $7.2 million, $54.3 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009 respectively. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a net gain on lease termination of approximately $3.8 million as a result of terminating our lease related to an attractions property in Hawaii in exchange for receiving an intangible trade name. In addition, we recorded loan loss provisions of approximately $3.1 million, $1.7 million and $4.1 million on mortgages and other notes receivable that were deemed uncollectible for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2010, respectively. We did not record any loan loss provisions for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2009.
(2) Included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is an impairment provision of approximately $21.3 million, $0.7 million, $13.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, relating to certain properties where we determined the carrying value was not recoverable based on an analysis comparing estimated and current projected undiscounted cash flows, including estimated net sales proceeds, of the properties over its remaining useful life to the net carrying value of the properties. We did not record an impairment provision for the year ended December 31, 2009. Additionally, included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 is gain of approximately $2.4 million, $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from the sale of properties that were classified as assets held for sale. We did not record a gain from sale of properties that were classified as assets held for sale for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

In accordance with GAAP, we have reclassified and included the results of operations from the properties classified as assets held for sale as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

 

(3) Cash distributions are declared by the Board of Directors and generally are based on various factors, including actual and future expected net cash from operations, FFO and MFFO, and our general financial condition, among others. For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 29.3% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered capital gain as a result of the gain on the sale of our three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures and approximately 70.7% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. For both of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 0.0% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered taxable income and approximately 100.0% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 0.3% and 4.4% of the distributions received by stockholders were considered to be taxable income and approximately 99.7% and 95.6%, respectively, were considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. We have not treated such amounts as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital, as described in our advisory agreement.
(4) In 2012, we determined that the consolidated statements of cash flows contained an error in the presentation of a deposit escrowed as additional collateral to one of our loans and the consolidated statements of cash flows were revised. This correction was determined not material to any of our previously issued consolidated financial statements. See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information.
(5) Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, National Association Real Estate Investment Trust, (“NAREIT”), promulgated a measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, real estate impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: MFFO, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income or loss: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to the write-off of deferred rent receivables and other lease-related assets as well as amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to remove the impact of GAAP straight-line adjustments from rental revenues); accretion of

Table of Contents

discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income or loss from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, and unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we are responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do retain an outside consultant to review all of our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such non-recurring gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.

See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional disclosures relating to FFO and MFFO.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to FFO and MFFO for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands except per share data).

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) Includes amounts related to the properties that are classified as assets held for sale and for which the related results are classified as income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
(2) This amount represents our share of the FFO or MFFO adjustments allowable under the NAREIT or IPA definitions, respectively, multiplied by the percentage of income or loss recognized under the HLBV method.
(3) In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. By adding back acquisition fees and expenses relating to business combinations, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information of its operating performance and will also allow comparability between different real estate entities regardless of their level of acquisition activities. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses relating to business combinations under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property.
(4) Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
(5) (Gain) loss of extinguishment of debt includes legal fees incurred with the transaction, prepayment penalty fees and write-off of unamortized loan costs, as applicable.
(6) Management believes that adjusting for gains or write-offs of lease related assets is appropriate because they are non-recurring non-cash adjustments that may not be reflective of our ongoing operating performance. In 2013, we recorded impairment provisions totaling $58.1 million for deferred rent from prior GAAP straight-lining adjustments and lease incentives which resulted from a change in our expected holding periods for those properties.
(7) In July 2013, we completed the sale of our interests in 42 senior housing properties held through three unconsolidated joint ventures. See “Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information.
(8) The add back for impairment of real estate assets to arrive at FFO does not include approximately $58.1 million in impairments relating to deferred rent from prior GAAP straight-lining adjustments and lease incentives described in Footnote (6) above. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.

 

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. is a Maryland corporation incorporated on August 11, 2003. We were formed primarily to acquire lifestyle properties in the United States that we generally lease on a long-term, triple-net basis (generally five to 20 years, plus multiple renewal options) to tenants or operators that we consider to be industry leading. We also engage third-party managers to operate certain properties on our behalf as permitted under applicable tax regulations. We define lifestyle properties as those properties that reflect or are impacted by the social, consumption and entertainment values and choices of our society. A large number of our properties are leased on a long-term, triple-net basis (generally five to 20 years, plus multiple renewal options) to tenants or operators that we consider to be industry leading. When beneficial to our investment structure and as a result of tenant defaults, we engage third-party manager to operate properties on our behalf as permitted under applicable tax regulations. We have also made loans (including mortgage, mezzanine and other loans) generally collateralized by interests in real estate. We have engaged CNL Lifestyle Advisor Corporation (“the Advisor”) as our Advisor to provide management, acquisition, disposition, advisory and administrative services.

Our principal business objectives include investing in and owning a diversified portfolio of real estate with a goal to preserve, protect and enhance the long-term value of those assets. We have built a portfolio of properties that we consider to be well-diversified by region, asset type and operator. As of March 14, 2014, we had built a portfolio of 145 lifestyle properties. When aggregated by initial purchase price, the portfolio is diversified as follows: approximately 25% in ski and mountain lifestyle, 19% in golf facilities, 16% in senior housing, 22% in attractions, 6% in marinas and 12% in additional lifestyle properties. As of March 14, 2014, these assets consist of 24 ski and mountain lifestyle properties, 48 golf facilities, 30 senior housing properties, 23 attractions, 17 marinas and three additional lifestyle properties with the following investment structure:

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) Leased to single tenant operators (fully occupied except for one multi-family residential property), with a weighted-average lease rate of 8.6% at March 14, 2014. These rates are based on weighted-average annualized straight-line rent due under our leases. Excluding our one multi-family property, these leases have an average lease expiration of 16 years and tenants have multiple renewal options beyond the initial term.
(2) As of March 14, 2014, wholly-owned managed properties include: one ski and mountain lifestyle, 13 golf facilities, 15 attractions, 20 senior housing properties, 13 marinas and one additional lifestyle properties. Under certain applicable tax regulations, properties are permitted to be temporarily managed (up to three years) and certain properties are permitted to be indefinitely managed. As of March 14, 2014, 38 properties were temporarily managed and 25 properties were indefinitely managed under management agreements, respectively.
(3) As of March 14, 2014, seven properties held through one of our unconsolidated joint ventures are expected to be sold in 2014. See “Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities” for additional information.

We currently operate and have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level to the extent that we distribute at least 100% of our REIT taxable income and capital gains to our stockholders and meet other compliance requirements. We are subject to income taxes on taxable income from properties operated by third-party managers. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is lost. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows. However, we believe that we are organized and have operated in a manner to qualify for treatment as a REIT beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, we intend to continue to be organized and to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Portfolio Trends

A large number of the properties in our real estate portfolio are operated by third-party tenant operators under long-term triple-net leases for which we report rental income and are not directly exposed to the variability of property-level operating revenues and expenses. We also engage third-party managers to operate certain properties on our behalf for which we record the property-level operating revenues and expenses and are directly exposed to the

 

78


Table of Contents

variability of the property’s operations which impacts our results of operations. We believe that the financial and operational performance of our tenants and managers, and the general conditions of the industries within which they operate, provide indicators about our tenants’ health and their ability to pay contractually obligated rent. For example, positive growth in visitation and per capita spending may result in our receipt of additional percentage rent and, conversely, declines may impact our tenants’ ability to pay rent to us.

The following table illustrates property level revenues and EBITDA reported to us by our tenants and managers for the asset types below and includes both our leased and managed properties. We have only included property-level operating performance for consolidated properties in the table below. Property-level operating performance from our unconsolidated properties has been excluded because we do not believe it is as relevant and meaningful particularly since we are entitled to receive cash distribution preferences where we receive a stated return on our investment each year ahead of our partners. Our tenants and managers are contractually required to provide this information to us in accordance with their respective lease and management agreements. While this information has not been audited, it has been reviewed by management to determine whether the information is reasonable and accurate in all material respects. In connection with this review, management reviews monthly property level operating performance versus budgeted expectations, conducts periodic operational review calls with operators and conducts periodic property inspections. We monitor the credit of our tenants by reviewing their rental payment history, timeliness of rent collections, their operational performance on our properties and by monitoring news and industry reports regarding our tenants and their underlying businesses. We have aggregated this performance data on a “same-store” basis only for comparable properties that we have owned during the entirety of all periods presented and have included information for both leased and managed properties. We have not included performance data on acquisitions made after January 1, 2012 because we did not own those properties during the entirety of all periods presented below. For these reasons, we consider the property level data to be performance information that gives us information on trends which does not directly represent our results of operations. We do not consider this information to be a non-GAAP measure which can be reconciled to our GAAP financial statements because it includes the performance of properties that are leased to third-party tenants. However, we believe this information is useful to help readers of our financial statements understand and evaluate trends, events and uncertainties in our business as it relates to our prior periods and to broader industry performance (in thousands):

(1) Property operating results for tenants under leased arrangements are not included in the company’s operating results. Property-level EBITDA above is disclosed before rent and capital reserve payments to us, as applicable.

Overall, for the year ended December 31, 2013, our same-store tenants and managers reported to us an increase in revenue and property-level EBITDA of 4.3% and 11.6%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increases were primarily attributable to our ski and mountain lifestyle and attractions properties. Our ski and lifestyle properties finished the 2012/2013 ski season with skier visits totaling 6.05 million, up 10.4% over the prior year as a result of the return to normal levels of natural snowfall and favorable snowmaking conditions during the first quarter of 2013 as compared to low levels of natural snowfall for the same period in 2012. In addition, our ski and lifestyle properties experienced an increase in summer-based activities which includes scenic chairlift rides, mountain biking, zip lining and other attractions activities, due to favorable weather and the impact of new summer-based capital improvements. Our attractions properties experienced an increase in revenue due to increases in pricing and in-park spending as compared to the same period in 2012. Our senior housing properties experienced increases driven by increases in the average rate paid by our residents. The increases in revenue were offset by declines attributable to our golf properties, marinas and our additional lifestyle property. Our golf properties experienced a decrease in rounds played during 2013 as a direct result of the unusually warm weather conditions experienced during 2012 as compared to colder and wetter conditions in 2013; however, operator-driven efficiencies resulted in a 4.8% increases in EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013 due to operational efficiencies and cost controls. Our marina properties experienced some minor declines, mostly driven by a reduction in slip rental revenues, concentrated in the California market where competition and price sensitivity were more pronounced and the economy has been slower to recover. Our additional lifestyle property, which is a multi-family rental complex, experienced decreases due to the renovation of 247 apartment units (out of 540 units) that commenced during early 2012 and were completed in August 2013.

Overall, for the year ended December 31, 2012, our same-store tenants and managers reported to us an increase in revenue and property-level EBITDA of 0.3% and 5.1%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding our ski and mountain lifestyle properties, which were impacted by unusually low levels of snow in the first quarter of 2012, our comparable properties reported an increase in revenue and property-level EBITDA of 6.1% and 19.5%. The increases were primarily attributable to our golf, attractions and additional lifestyle properties. Our golf properties had an increase in EBITDA as a result of the new operators we put in place successfully implementing much more focused cost initiatives leading to improved operating margins. Additionally, in connection with a lease restructure with our largest golf tenant in April 2012, we made significant capital improvements across certain properties with the overall goal of improving profitability by enhancing the customer experience and driving revenue in the form of more rounds of golf, more membership sales, and more social and catering events. Our attractions properties experienced increases due to higher travel rates and rising consumer spending. Our additional lifestyle properties, which includes our multi-family rental complex and our property where a tenant operates the Harley Davidson motorcycle dealership, increased due to improvement of marketing for the dealership by a new manager/operator as well as an increase in motorcycle sales, offset by, our multi-family rental complex due to renovation of 247 apartment units (out of 540 units) that commenced during early 2012. The property that held the Harley Davidson motorcycle dealership was sold in 2013.

When evaluating our senior housing properties’ performance, management reviews operating statistics of the underlying properties, including revenue per occupied unit (“RevPOU”) and occupancy levels. RevPOU, which is defined as total revenue divided by number of occupied units, is a widely used performance metric within the healthcare sector. As of December 31, 2013, the managers of our ten comparable, consolidated properties reported to us an increase in occupancy of 0.1% as compared to the same period in 2012 and an increase in average RevPOU of 6.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The increases in occupancy and RevPOU were primarily due to strong demand and resultant ability to drive rate increases at the properties. As of December 31, 2013, occupancy for our 29 total senior housing properties was 91.3%.

The following table presents same-store unaudited property-level information of our senior housing properties as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

We continue to closely monitor the performance of all tenants, their financial strength and their ability to pay rent under the leases for our properties. Our asset managers review operating results and rent coverage compared to budget for each of our properties on a monthly basis, monitor the local and regional economy, competitor activity, and other environmental, regulatory or operating conditions for each property, make periodic site visits and engage in regular discussions with our tenants.

Ski and Mountain Lifestyle. According to the National Ski Areas Association and the Kottke National End of Season Survey 2012/13, the U.S. ski industry recorded a total of 56.9 million visits, up 11.7% from a weather-challenged 2011/12 season. Our ski resorts finished the season with visits totaling 6.05 million, up 10.4% over the prior year. Leading into the 2013/14 season, our ski resorts reported an increase in advance season pass sales due to a strong finish of the prior season, coupled with early snowfall and ideal snowmaking conditions in the Rocky Mountain and Northeast regions. Ski resorts in the Pacific West, specifically California, struggled early with snow levels significantly below historical norms. Unfortunately, the poor snow conditions have persisted into 2014, especially in the west, where tenants at two of our properties are experiencing financial distress. We will continue to monitor these properties and tenants very closely during the remainder of the season and into the summer. For the season to date through February 2014, our ski operators have reported a 8.8% decrease in property-level revenues as compared to the same period the prior ski season. Excluding our five western resorts, season to date revenue through February 2014 was up 2.3%.

Golf. Golf Datatech, one of the golf industry’s leading providers of information, reported total rounds played in the U.S. through December 31, 2013 decreased 4.9% from the same period in 2012. We attribute the decrease in rounds played to exceptional weather in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to normalized patterns in the third quarter of 2013 and unfavorable weather in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the near term, the National Golf Foundation continues to project that the net supply of golf facilities (openings less closures) will continue to decline approximately 1% annually until the supply and demand approaches equilibrium.

Senior Housing. Americans 65 years and older are expected to live longer than the elderly did in the past and will need additional housing options to accommodate their special needs. Demand for senior housing options is currently outpacing the existing supply of senior housing units. The supply growth of certain senior housing asset classes over

the last decade has declined dramatically following a boom in senior housing development in the 1990’s. According to the National Investment Center for the Senior Housing and Care Industry Map Monitor, which covers the top 31 metro markets in the United States, for the fourth quarter of 2013 (the “Q4 2013 NIC Map Monitor”), overall senior housing occupancy has increased. As of the fourth quarter of 2013, occupancy was 89.7% as compared to 89.0% from a year ago. Additionally, the absorption of existing senior housing units, which represents the number of net units occupied, outpaced the inventory growth in each quarter since the first quarter of 2011. According to the Q4 2013 NIC Map Monitor, the number of occupied units increased by 4,118 during the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to 2,949 during the same period in 2012 and new inventory of senior housing increased by 2,432 units during the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to 1,922 during the same period in 2012. The pace of absorption of existing inventory is expected to continue to outpace inventory growth during the next four quarters. We entered the senior housing sector in 2011 and believe this sector will continue to experience revenue growth in the future.

Attractions. Our properties include regionally diverse gated amusement parks and water parks that generally draw most of their visitation from local markets. Regional and local attractions have historically been resistant to recession, with inclement weather being a more significant factor impacting attendance. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our attractions portfolio exhibited property-level revenue increases of approximately 1.7% as compared to the same periods in 2012. According to the January 2014 IBIS World Industry Report on “Amusement Parks in the US” update, the industry has begun its post-recession recovery. Through 2015, IBIS World forecast revenue for the 5 year period to increase at an annualized rate of 4.0% to total over $15.4 billion. This growth will be largely due to higher travel rates and rising consumer spending.

Marinas. According to the September 2013 IBIS World Industry Report on “Marinas in the US”, the industry remains highly fragmented, with the 4 largest firms accounting for less than 5% of industry revenue. The low level of concentration is not expected to change significantly over the next 5 years. IBIS World expects few significant mergers and consolidations in the future due the small size of most firms and limited resources. Globalization of the industry remains low and is expected to remain steady for future years as very few firms operate outside the U.S and foreign ownership is very low. High barriers to entry continue to limit the supply of competing properties and demand is projected to rise as the number of boat sales increase. According to IBIS World, marinas in the United States are expected to experience slightly better prospects over the next five years than they have in recent years. Through 2018, revenue is projected to grow at an average of 2.1% annually which is up from the August 2012 forecast of 1.3%. A strengthening U.S. economy will support growth in household disposable income levels which will encourage greater discretionary spending on recreational activities and extraneous purchases, including boating. As reported in January 2014 by Trade Only, a leading marine trade publication, sales of boats in December posted double-digit gains over the prior year, and for the full year, sales were up 2.1%.

Seasonality

Many of the asset classes in which we invest experience seasonal fluctuations due to the nature of their business, geographic location, climate and weather patterns. As a result, these businesses experience seasonal variations in revenues that may require our tenants to supplement operating cash from their properties in order to be able to make scheduled rent payments to us. We have structured the leases for certain tenants such that rents are paid on a seasonal schedule with most, if not all, of the rent being paid during the tenant’s seasonally busy operating period.

As part of our portfolio diversification strategy, we have specifically considered the varying and complimentary seasonality of our asset classes and portfolio mix. For example, the peak operating season for our ski and mountain lifestyle assets is highly complementary to the peak seasons for our attractions, marinas and golf portfolios to balance and mitigate the risks associated with seasonality. Generally, seasonality does not significantly affect our recognition of rental income from operating leases due to straight-line revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP. However, seasonality does impact the timing of when base rent payments are made by our tenants, which impacts our operating cash flows and the amount of rental revenue we recognize in connection with capital improvement reserve revenue and percentage rents paid by our tenants, which is recognized in the period in which it is earned and is generally based on a percentage of tenant revenues.

In addition, seasonality directly impacts certain of our properties where we engage independent third-party operators to manage the properties on our behalf and where we record property operating revenues and expenses rather than

straight-line rents from operating leases. These properties will likely generate net operating losses during their non-peak months while generating most, if not all, of their operating income during their peak operating months. As of March 14, 2014, we had a total of 63 wholly-owned managed properties consisting of one ski and mountain lifestyle property, 13 golf facilities, 20 senior housing properties, 15 attractions properties, 13 marinas and one additional lifestyle property. Our consolidated operating results and cash flows during the first, second and fourth quarters will be lower than the third quarter primarily due to the non-peak operating months of our larger attractions properties.

Marina Ice Storm Damage

In December 2013, one of our marina properties, with a carrying value of approximately $30.9 million, experienced significant damage to the docks and certain other floating structures as a result of an ice storm in Northern Texas. We maintain insurance coverage on the property and have filed an insurance claim that is expected to cover the cost of the required repairs. We anticipate that a portion of the damage will be repaired prior to the 2014 boating season, with repairs continuing throughout the remainder of the year.

Operator Transitions and Lease Terminations

During the fourth quarter of 2013, 11 marinas properties were transitioned to new operators as a result of the tenant previously defaulting under its leases. We recorded a loss on lease termination of approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We recorded a loss on lease termination of approximately $16.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 in anticipation of default by our marinas operator. In addition, we are evaluating the transition of four other marinas to new operators during the first half of 2014. We anticipate the performance of these properties to improve over time with their new operators.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a net gain on lease termination of approximately $3.8 million as a result of terminating our lease related to an attractions property in Hawaii in exchange for receiving the Wet ‘n Wild trade name. We subsequently leased the property in Hawaii to one of our existing tenants, rebranded two of our waterparks during late 2013 and early 2014 under the Wet ‘n Wild brand name and anticipate rebranding additional waterparks under the Wet ‘n Wild trade name in the future.

Impairments

As described above in Item 1. “Business – Our Disposition Policies”, we evaluate our properties on an ongoing basis in an effort to optimize and enhance the value of our assets. As part of this evaluation, we began efforts to identify non-core assets and began to assess the strategic fit of these non-core assets to the broader portfolio. During 2013, we re-assessed the long term strategy of the properties referenced as Additional Lifestyle Properties (see Item 2. “Properties” for a listing of the specific properties), gathered market data and approved a plan to market and sell our Additional Lifestyle Properties. As part of this process, we decided that we would no longer actively pursue the development of our unimproved land and decided we would dispose of our multi-family residential property. We determined that the carrying values were not recoverable based on comparable land sales or potential third party sales prices. As such, we recorded impairment provisions of approximately $61.0 million to write down their book values to the estimated sale prices less costs to sell.

During 2013, we also recorded approximately $7.6 million in impairments related to a few of our smaller, non-core Attractions properties which consisted of miniature golf courses, batting cages, bumper boats and go-karts. We marketed some of these properties for sale during 2013 or received unsolicited offers during the first quarter of 2014. We recorded these impairment provisions as of December 31, 2013 to write down their book values to estimated sales prices from third party buyers less costs to sell. As for our marinas portfolio, a few of our properties that had transitioned from leased to managed during 2012 and 2013 continued to experience minor declines in operating results from 2012 (see Item 7. “Portfolio Trends”). We reviewed their projected cash flows, took into consideration that some of our marinas properties continued to experience residual challenges from the economic downturn and determined that their carrying values were not recoverable. As a result, we recorded impairment provisions of approximately $10.8 million to write down their book values to discounted cash flows and residual values expected from these marinas properties.

During the first quarter of 2014, we continued our efforts and evaluated the long term strategy related to our golf properties, considered the golf portfolio trends which included a decrease in rounds played (see Item 7. “Portfolio Trends”, and explored various opportunities for our broader portfolio and the exit strategy described above in Item 1. “Business— Our Exit Strategy”. We began to receive market indicators that signaled that the carrying values of our golf portfolio as of December 31, 2013 were not recoverable. As part of the review of golf portfolio trends and the review of market data from third parties, we determined that the long term strategy included a potential sale of the golf properties. Therefore, in March 2014, we approved a plan to market and sell our golf portfolio. As a result, we recorded approximately $190.2 million in impairments as of December 31, 2013 relating to our golf portfolio to write down their book values to the estimated sales prices less costs to sell.

Based on the fact that some of our assets had been classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013, we recorded approximately $21.3 million of the impairment provisions described above as part of our loss on discontinued operations and recorded the remaining $248.2 million of impairment provisions as part of our loss from continuing operations. See Item 8. – “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information.

Loan Provisions

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded loan loss provisions of approximately $1.8 million relating to one ski loan as a result of a proposed restructure where we will provide payment concessions to the borrower in 2014. In addition, we expect to foreclose on an attractions property that serves as collateral on one of our other existing loans. We recorded a loan loss provision of approximately $1.3 million based on expected the estimated fair value of the collateral.

Litigation

A purported class action lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares under our DRP on or after April 1, 2010, Allyn v. CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. et al., was filed on January 18, 2013 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company and certain of our current and former directors. The lawsuit alleged claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the directors and constructive trust and unjust enrichment against the Company. On November 27, 2013, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a cause of action and dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, from which no appeal was taken.

Our Exit Strategy

Under our articles of incorporation, on or before December 31, 2015, the Company will undertake to provide stockholders with liquidity of their investment, either in whole or in part, including, without limitation, through (i) the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange (a “Listing”), (ii) the commencement of an orderly sale of the Company’s assets, outside of the ordinary course of business and consistent with the Company’s objectives of qualifying as a REIT, and the distribution of the net sales proceeds thereof to the stockholders or (iii) the merger of the Company with or into another entity in a transaction which provides the stockholders with cash or securities of a publicly traded company. If a Listing occurs, we will automatically become a perpetual life entity. In making a determination of whether Listing is in the best interest of our stockholders, our Board of Directors may consider a variety of criteria, including, but not limited to, market capitalization, the number of properties owned, portfolio diversification, portfolio performance, our financial condition, potential access to capital as a listed company, and the potential for stockholder liquidity. We may sell certain assets or portfolios of assets prior to full liquidity of the Company and use such proceeds in the interim to repay debt or make certain strategic investments. Additionally, our debt agreements, including our unsecured senior notes, contain provisions which restrict or limit distributions to shareholders prior to such debt being repaid.

We will seek to maximize the total value of our portfolio in connection with our evaluation of various strategic opportunities in preparation for an exit strategy on or before December 31, 2015. In March 2014, we engaged Jefferies LLC, a leading global investment banking and advisory firm, to assist management and the board of directors in actively evaluating various strategic opportunities including the sale of either us or our assets, potential merger opportunities, or the Listing of our common stock.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

Our principal demand for funds will be for operating expenses, debt service and cash distributions to stockholders. Generally, our cash needs will be covered by cash generated from our investments including rental income, property operating income from managed properties, interest payments on the loans we make and distributions from our unconsolidated entities. To the extent we have dispositions, we will use the net sales proceeds to retire debts, invest into new assets or to enhance existing assets. To the extent we have acquisitions, our primary source of funds will be from property dispositions, borrowings (which includes approximately $110.0 million available under our revolving line of credit at December 31, 2013) and proceeds from our DRP.

We believe that our current liquidity needs for operating expenses, debt service and cash distributions to stockholders will be adequately covered by cash generated from our investments and other sources of available cash. Additionally, as previously discussed many of our asset classes experience seasonal fluctuations where they make rental payments to us during their peak operating months. As a result, our operating cash flows will fluctuate due to the seasonality of those properties. We believe that we will be able to refinance our debt as it comes due in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, we will consider open market purchases of our senior notes or other indebtedness when considered advantageous.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows. Our primary sources of cash include rental income from operating leases, property operating revenues, collection of principal and interest on loans we make, distributions from our unconsolidated entities, proceeds from investment dispositions, borrowings under our revolving line of credit and subscriptions received for common stock through our DRP, offset by payments made for operating expenses, including property operating expenses, asset management fees to our Advisor, debt service payments (principal and interest), and real estate investments (including acquisitions and capital expenditures). The following is a summary of our cash flows (in thousands):

Operating Activities. The change in net cash provided from operating activities increased $47.6 million or 54.1% for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to:

 

    An increase in rental income from leased properties and net operating income from managed properties related to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2012;

 

    An increase in “same store” rent from leased properties and net operating income from managed properties primarily relating to our ski and mountain lifestyle properties as a result of a strong 2012/2013 ski season, our senior housing properties due to increase in average rate paid by our residents and rental income earned from certain golf properties where payments were waived during the first quarter of 2012 as a result of a lease amendment;

 

    A decrease in general and administrative and other expenses; and

 

    A decrease in lease incentives paid to one of our golf tenants in connection with lease restructure in 2012 of approximately $20.3 million and the timing of cash receipt and payments made.

Investing Activities. The change in cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of 11 properties for approximately $244.9 million in 2013 as compared to the acquisition of 11 properties for approximately $190.2 million in 2012. In addition, in 2013, we sold our interest in three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures for $195.4 million and sold four consolidated properties for approximately $12.4 million as compared to three properties sold in 2012 for approximately $1.5 million.

Financing Activities. The change in cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2012 is primarily attributable the repayment on our indebtedness, including our revolving line of credit, of approximately $163.8 million in 2013 as compared to approximately $109.7 million in 2012. In addition, proceeds from indebtedness was approximately $231.3 million in 2013 as compared to $322.3 million in 2012.

Real Estate Sales. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we completed the sale of four properties and received aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $12.4 million and a note for approximately $0.3 million. In connection with the transaction, we recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $2.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we completed the sale of three properties for aggregate sales proceeds of approximately $1.5 million and recorded aggregate gains of approximately $0.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we completed the sale of four properties and received aggregate sales proceeds of approximately $8.5 million, net of transaction costs and a note for approximately $12.5 million. In connection with the transaction, we recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $1.2 million. The notes received as a result of selling the properties are collateralized by the properties sold. We anticipate the number of properties classified as held for sale and properties sold to increase as we continue to evaluate our assets and sell certain properties that we believe are not central to our investment portfolio in preparation for our exit strategy as discussed above.

Operating Leases. As of December 31, 2013, we leased 72 properties under long-term, triple-net leases to third-parties. We expect to receive approximately $133.4 million in minimum lease payment in 2014. See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Footnote 7 Operating Leases” for additional information including future minimum lease payments to be received under the non-cancellable operating leases with third-parties as of December 31, 2013.

Mortgages and Other Notes Receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we received approximately $4.3 million, $4.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively, from repayment of loans receivable. We expect to receive approximately $82.2 million in loan repayments in 2014. See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 9. Mortgages and Other Notes Receivable, net” for additional information including a schedule of future principal maturities for all mortgages and other notes receivable as of December 31, 2013.

Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities. As of December 31, 2012, we had investments in 50 properties through five unconsolidated entities. In July 2013, we completed the sale of our interests in 42 senior housing properties held through the CNLSun I, CNLSun II, CNLSun III ventures as a result of Sunrise, our venture partner, exercising its purchase option in the aforementioned ventures. In connection with the transaction, we received aggregate sales proceeds of approximately $195.4 million, net of transaction costs, and recorded aggregate gains of approximately $55.4 million. As of December 31, 2013, we had investments in eight properties through two unconsolidated joint ventures, of which seven properties are classified as held for sale.

We are entitled to receive quarterly cash distributions from our unconsolidated entities to the extent there is cash available to distribute. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we received distributions of approximately $32.0 million, $40.2 million and $25.9 million, respectively. The reduction in distributions received for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the sale of 42 senior housing properties held through three unconsolidated entities in July 2013. In 2014, our distributions from unconsolidated entities is expected to decrease further due to the sale of these properties and the expected sale of the seven Intrawest Venture village retail properties. The change in distributions received for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 was due to an increase in the number of ventures in which we had interests. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we had interests in five unconsolidated entities for the entire year as compared to partial year in 2011.

The Intrawest Venture is working with the Canada Revenue Authority to resolve an assessment and other matters related to one of its entities. The Intrawest Venture’s maximum exposure relating to these matters is approximately $14.6 million, however, it believes the more likely than not resolution will be approximately $1.3 million. As such, an accrual of $1.3 million has been reflected in the financial information for the Intrawest Venture.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan. In 2011 we completed our final offering and filed a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register the sale of up to an additional $250 million (26.3 million shares of common stock) under our DRP. Shares were originally sold under the DRP at a price of $9.50 per share, representing a 5% discount from our public offering price of $10.00. In August 2012, DRP shares were offered at $6.95, which represented a 5% discount to our estimated NAV of $7.31 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we raised approximately $54.9 million, $69.0 million and $83.5 million, respectively through the DRP. In March 2014, our Board of Directors approved a revised estimate of NAV of $6.85 per share as of December 31, 2013 and amended the DRP so that shares under our DRP would be sold at the new estimated NAV per share of $6.85 rather than a discount to the NAV.

Indebtedness. We have borrowed and intend to continue to borrow money to acquire properties, fund ongoing enhancements to our portfolio, pay certain related fees and to cover periodic shortfalls between distributions paid and cash flows from operating activities. See “Distributions” below for additional information. In many cases, we have pledged our assets in connection with such borrowings. We have also borrowed, and may continue to borrow, money to pay distributions to stockholders in order to avoid distribution volatility. The aggregate amount of long-term financing is not expected to exceed 50% of our total assets. As of December 31, 2013, our leverage ratio, calculated as total indebtedness over total assets, was 44.6% (48.1% including our share of unconsolidated assets and debts).

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, our indebtedness consisted of the following (in thousands):

(1) Amount includes variable rate debt of approximately $126.7 million and $131.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively that has been swapped to fixed rates.

In July 2012, a lender’s deposit was escrowed in the amount of approximately $11.2 million, of which the entire amount was released to us during the year ended December 31, 2013.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we received proceeds from indebtedness of approximately $231.3 million, $322.3 million and $513.5 million, respectively, and prepaid or made scheduled principal payments of approximately $163.8 million, $109.7 million and $262.8 million, respectively. In 2014, we have approximately $173.9 million maturing and we plan to refinance debts as they mature or deleverage with the proceeds of asset sales.

As of December 31, 2013, certain of our loans require us to meet certain customary financial covenants and ratios including fixed charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt to total assets ratio and limitations on distributions. In addition, under the terms of the indenture governing our senior notes which place certain limitations on us and certain of our subsidiaries, cash distributions may not exceed 95% of the adjusted funds from operations as defined. See Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 10. Indebtedness” for additional covenants relating to our senior notes. We were in compliance with all applicable provisions as of December 31, 2013. Our other long-term borrowings are not subject to any significant financial covenants.

In February 2014, we obtained a $40.0 million loan with an existing third-party lender. The loan bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 3.50% with a 1.50% LIBOR floor and matures in April 2017. This is a supplement to one of our existing loans with a principal outstanding balance of approximately $100.7 million which is collateralized by six ski and mountain lifestyle properties. The terms of the existing loan remain the same.

See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 11. Indebtedness” for additional information including the loan terms and the schedule of future principal payments and maturities for all indebtedness as of December 31, 2013.

See also “Off Balance Sheet and Other Arrangements—Borrowings of Our Unconsolidated Entities” for a description of the borrowings of our unconsolidated entities.

Distributions. We declare and pay distributions on a quarterly basis. The amount of distributions declared to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors and is dependent upon a number of factors, including:

 

    Sources of cash available for distribution such as expected cash flows operating activities, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted EBITDA on a rolling 12 months basis;

 

    The proportion of distributions paid in cash compared to the amount being reinvested through our DRP;

 

    Limitations and restrictions contained in the terms of our current and future indebtedness concerning the payment of distributions; and

 

    Other factors such as the avoidance of distribution volatility, our objective of continuing to qualify as a REIT, capital requirements, the general economic environment and other factors.

We have and may continue to use borrowings and proceeds from our DRP to fund a portion of our distributions in order to avoid distribution volatility. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we declared and paid distributions to our stockholders of approximately $135.5 million, $163.7 million and $188.4 million, respectively. Our cash flows from operating activities covered 100.0% of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2013. The shortfall in cash flows from operating activities versus distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 46.3% and 55.9%, respectively. See Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” – “Distributions” for additional information.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 29.3% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered capital gain as a result of the gain on the sale of our three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures and approximately 70.7% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. For both of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 0.0% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered taxable income and approximately 100.0% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. Due to a variety of factors, the characterization of distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2013 may not be indicative of the characterization of distributions that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. No amounts distributed to stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were required to be or have been treated as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital as described in our advisory agreement.

Common Stock Redemptions. We redeem shares pursuant to our redemption plan, which is designed to provide eligible stockholders with limited interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us prior to any listing of our shares. There is currently a sizable backlog and a waiting list for redemption requests and stockholders will likely wait a long period of time to have their shares redeemed, if ever. Redeemed shares are considered retired and will not be reissued. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, redemptions were approximately $12.0 million (1.6 million shares), $9.6 million (1.2 million shares) and $30.0 million (3.1 million shares), respectively. Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholders Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” — “Redemption of Shares” for additional information.

Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we acquired 11, 11 and 12 properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $244.9 million, $190.2 million and $149.7 million, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we funded approximately $70.2 million, $69.7 million and $42.3 million, respectively, in capital improvements at our properties.

Stock Issuance Costs and Other Related Party Arrangements. Our chairman of the board indirectly owns a controlling interest in CNL Financial Group Inc., our sponsor and an affiliate of CNL Securities Corp., the managing dealer of our common stock offerings (the “Managing Dealer”). The Managing Dealer received fees and compensation in connection with our common stock offerings, which were completed on April 9, 2011 and from our DRP. In addition, our Advisor receives fees and compensation in connection with the acquisition, management and sale of our assets. Amounts incurred relating to these transactions were approximately $39.2 million, $42.7 million and $79.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $1.0 million and $1.0 million are included in due to affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our Advisor and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses and amounts incurred on our behalf in connection with our offering, acquisitions and operating activities. Reimbursable expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $7.5 million, $8.4 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

In March 2014, our Advisor amended the advisory agreement, effective April 1, 2014, to eliminate acquisition fees on equity, performance fees, debt acquisition fees and disposition fees, and to reduce asset management fees to 0.075% monthly (or 0.90% annually) of average invested assets. Our Advisor will consider further reductions in the asset management fees if we have not materially begun to execute an exit event or events before April 1, 2015.

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we will not reimburse our Advisor for any amount by which total operating expenses paid or incurred by us exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income (the “Expense Cap”) in any expense year. For the expense years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, operating expenses did not exceed the Expense Cap.

We also maintain accounts at a bank in which our chairman and vice-chairman serve as directors. We had deposits at that bank of approximately $8.6 million and $5.5 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to our operations. We consider these policies critical because they involve difficult management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. The judgments affect the reporting amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements will include our accounts, the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries or subsidiaries for which we have a controlling interest, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany accounts and transactions will be eliminated in consolidation.

We will analyze our variable interests, including loans, leases, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the entity in which we have a variable interest is a variable interest entity. Our analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. We base our quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and our qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and financial agreements. We also use our quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine if we must consolidate a variable interest entity as the primary beneficiary.

Allocation of Purchase Price for Real Estate Acquisitions. Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we record the fair value of the tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings, improvements and equipment), intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases and above or below market lease values), assumed liabilities and any contingent liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is determined based on incorporating market participant assumptions, discounted cash flow models using appropriate capitalization rates, and our estimate reflecting the facts and circumstances of each acquisition. Acquisition fees and costs are expensed for acquisitions that are considered a business combination.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by various factors including the comparable land sale method and cost approach method which estimates the replacement cost new less depreciation and a go dark income approach on the building in which the building is assumed to be vacant.

The purchase price is allocated to in-place lease intangibles based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, including estimates of lost rental income during the expected lease up periods, and costs to execute similar leases such as leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

We may also enter into yield guarantees in connection with an acquisition, whereby the seller agrees to hold a portion of the purchase price in escrow that may be repaid to us in the event certain thresholds are not met. In calculating the estimated fair value of the yield guarantee, we consider information obtained about each property during the due diligence and budget process as well as discount rates to determine the fair value. We periodically evaluate the fair value of the yield guarantee and record any adjustments to the fair value as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. We account for our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as we exercise significant influence, but do not maintain a controlling financial interest over these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for cash contributions, distributions and equity in earnings (loss) of the unconsolidated entities. Based on the respective venture structures and preferences we receive on distributions and liquidation, we record our equity in earnings of the entities under the hypothetical liquidation book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting. Under this method, we recognize income or loss in each period as if the net book value of the assets in the ventures were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period following the provisions of the joint venture agreements. In any given period, we could be recording more or less income than actual cash distributions received and more or less than what we may receive in the event of an actual liquidation. Our investment in unconsolidated entities is accounted for as an asset acquisition in which acquisition fees and expenses are capitalized as part of the basis in the investment in unconsolidated entities. The acquisition fees and expenses create an outside basis difference that are allocated to the assets of the investee and, if assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets, the basis differences are then amortized as a component of equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to dispose. We classify assets as held for sale once management

Table of Contents

has the authority to approve and commits to a plan to sell, the assets are available for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer and the sale of the assets are probable and transfer of the assets are expected to occur within one year. Upon the determination of the assets classified as held for sale or sold, the depreciation and amortization of the assets will terminate. The related operations of assets held for sale are reported as discontinued if such operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished both operationally and financially from the ongoing operations, such operations and cash flows will be eliminated from ongoing operations once the disposal occurs, and if we will not have any significant continuing involvement subsequent to the sale.

Impairment of Real Estate Assets. Real estate assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, general market conditions and significant changes in the manner of use or estimated holding period of our real estate assets or the strategy of our overall business, that the value of the real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. To assess if a property value is potentially impaired, management compares the estimated current and projected undiscounted operating cash flows, including estimated net sales proceeds, of the property over its remaining useful life to the net carrying value of the property. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In the event that the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted operating cash flows, we would record an impairment provision to adjust the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated fair value of the property.

For real estate we indirectly own through an investment in a joint venture, tenant-in-common interest or other similar investment structure which is accounted for under the equity method, when impairment indicators are present, we compare the estimated fair value of its investment to the carrying value. An impairment charge will be recorded to the extent the fair value of its investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.

The estimated fair values of unconsolidated entities are based upon a discounted cash flow model that includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over the expected holding period. The capitalization rates and discounted rates utilized in the model are based upon rates that we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the underlying properties.

Real Estate Dispositions. When real estate is disposed of, the related cost, accumulated depreciation or amortization and any accrued rental income for operating leases are removed from the accounts and gains and losses from the disposition are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains from the disposition of real estate are generally recognized using the full accrual method in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance included in Real Estate Sales, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and subsequent involvement by us with the properties are met. Gains may be deferred in whole or in part until the sales satisfy the requirements of gain recognition on sale of real estate. As of December 31, 2013, we deferred gains on two of our real estate dispositions as a result of making loans to the buyers financing a portion of the sales price.

Leases. Our leases are accounted for as operating leases. Lease accounting principles require management to estimate the economic life of the leased property, the residual value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments to be received from the tenant in order to determine the proper lease classification. Changes in our estimates or assumptions regarding collectability of lease payments, the residual value or economic lives of the leased property could result in a change in lease classification and our accounting for leases.

Revenue Recognition. For properties subject to operating leases, rental revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Additional percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance thresholds, such as gross revenues, is deferred until the underlying performance thresholds have been achieved. Property operating revenues from managed properties, which are not subject to leasing arrangements, are derived from room rentals, food and beverage sales, ski and spa operations, golf operations, membership dues, ticket sales, concessions, waterpark and theme park operations, resident rental fees and services, and other service revenues. Such revenues, excluding membership dues, are recognized when rooms are occupied, when services have been performed, and when products are delivered. Membership dues are recognized ratably over the term of the membership period. For mortgages and other notes receivable, interest income is recognized on an accrual basis when earned, except for loans placed on non-accrual status, for which interest income is recognized when received. Any deferred portion of contractual interest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding note. Loan origination fees charged and acquisition fees incurred in connection with the making of loans are recognized as interest income, and a reduction in interest income, respectively over the term of the notes.

Table of Contents

Mortgages and Other Notes Receivables. Mortgages and other notes receivable are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan origination costs or fees. Loan origination and other fees received by us in connection with making the loans are recorded as reduction of the note receivable and amortized into interest income, using the effective interest method, over the term of the loan. Acquisition fees and costs in connection with making the loans are capitalized and recorded as part of the mortgages and other notes receivable balance and amortized as a reduction of interest income over the term of the notes.

We evaluate impairment on our mortgages and other notes receivable on an individual loan basis which includes, current information and events, periodic visits and quarterly discussions on the financial results of the properties being collateralized and the financial stability of the borrowers who are also tenants or third-party managers for certain properties in our real estate portfolio. We review each loan to determine the risk of loss and whether the individual loan is impaired and whether an allowance is necessary. If allowance is necessary, we will reduce the carrying value of the loan accordingly and record a corresponding charge to net income (loss). The credit quality of our borrowers is primarily based on their payment history on an individual loan basis, and, as such, we do not assign our mortgages and other note receivable in credit quality categories.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities. We utilize derivative instruments to partially offset the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the cash flows associated with our variable-rate debt. We follow established risk management policies and procedures in our use of derivatives and do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date we enter into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in the statement of operations in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reflected in interest expense in the statement of operations. Determining fair value and testing effectiveness of these financial instruments requires management to make certain estimates and judgments. Changes in assumptions could have a positive or negative impact on the estimated fair values and measured effectiveness of such instruments could in turn impact our results of operations.

Mortgages and other notes payable. Mortgages and other notes payable, other than those assumed in an acquisition, are recorded at the stated principal amount and are generally collateralized by our lifestyle properties with monthly interest only and/or principal payments. A loan that is accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring is recorded at the present value of future cash payments, which includes principal and interest, specified by the new terms. We have and may undergo a troubled debt restructuring if management determines that the underlying collateralized properties are not performing to meet debt service. In order to qualify as a troubled debt restructuring, the following must apply: (i) the underlying collateralized property value decreased as a result of the economic environment, (ii) transfer of an asset (cash) to partially satisfy the loan has occurred and (iii) new loan terms decrease the effective interest rate and extend the maturity date. The difference between the future cash payments specified by the new terms and the carrying value immediately preceding the restructure is recorded as gain on extinguishment of debt.

Year ended December 31, 2013 compared to Year ended December 31, 2012

Rental income from operating leases. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by approximately $3.6 million as compared to the same period in 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to properties acquired during 2013 which consisted of two attraction properties and nine senior housing properties and an increase in capital reserve income (which is generally a percentage of gross revenue) on our ski and mountain lifestyle properties as a result of an improved 2012/2013 ski season. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in rental income from marinas properties since we did not record the full amount of rent during 2013 in anticipation of transitioning to new managers (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Operator Transitions and Lease Terminations” above for additional information). The increase was also partially offset by the transition of certain golf properties from leased to managed structures during 2012. The following information summarizes trends in rental income from operating leases and base rents for certain of our properties (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the weighted-average lease rate for our portfolio of wholly-owned leased properties was 8.5% and 8.6%, respectively. The decrease in the weighted average lease rate was primarily attributable to the transition of 11 marinas properties from leased to managed structure which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2013. These rates are based on annualized straight-line base rent due under our leases and the weighted-average contractual lease basis of our real estate investment properties subject to operating leases. The weighted-average lease rate of our portfolio will fluctuate based on our asset mix, timing of property acquisitions, lease terminations and reductions in rent granted to tenants.

Property operating revenues. Property operating revenues from managed properties, which are not subject to leasing arrangements, are derived from room rentals, food and beverage sales, ski and spa operations, golf operations, membership dues, ticket sales, concessions, waterpark and theme park operations, residential fees at our senior housing properties and other service revenues. The following information summarizes the revenues of our properties that are operated by third-party managers for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had a total of 63 and 55 managed properties, respectively, of which certain properties are operated seasonally due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. The increase in property operating revenues is primarily attributable to (i) the acquisition of ten senior housing properties during the second and fourth quarters of 2012, (ii) the transition of certain golf facilities from leased to managed structures which was completed during the first and third quarters of 2012, (iii) the transition of 11 marinas properties from leased to managed structures which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2013 and (iii) an increase at the Omni Mount Washington Resort, our only ski property under a managed structure, as a result of a strong 2012/2013 ski season.

Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable. Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable was approximately $13.1 million and 13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses from managed properties increased primarily due to the property acquisitions during the second and fourth quarters of 2012, golf facilities and marinas properties that were transitioned from leased to managed structures and a strong 2012/2013 ski season at our ski and mountain lifestyle properties. See “Property operating revenues” above for additional information. The following information summarizes the expenses of our properties that are operated by third-party managers for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Asset management fees to advisor. Monthly asset management fees equal to 0.08334% of invested assets are paid to the Advisor for the management of our real estate assets, loans and other permitted investments. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, asset management fees to our Advisor were approximately $34.7 million and $35.7 million, respectively. The decrease in such fees is due to the sale of our interests in 42 senior housing properties held through three unconsolidated joint ventures as discussed above offset, in part by, additional real estate properties acquired in 2013. We expect a decrease in asset management fees during 2014 due to the fact that effective April 1, 2014, the asset management fees will be reduced to 0.075% monthly (or 0.90% annually) of average invested assets. See “Stock Issuance Costs and Other Related Party Arrangements” above for additional information.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $18.6 million and $18.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Ground leases and permit fees. Ground lease payments and land permit fees are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the underlying property over certain thresholds. For properties that are subject to leasing arrangements, ground leases and permit fees are paid by the tenants in accordance with the terms of our leases with those tenants and we record the corresponding equivalent revenues in rental income from operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, ground lease and land permit fees were approximately $15.4 million and $14.5 million, respectively, of which approximately $10.4 million and $10.1 million, respectively, represents the corresponding equivalent revenues in rental income from operating leases. The increase in such fees is primarily attributable to an increase in gross revenues of our ski and mountain lifestyle properties.

Acquisition fees and costs. Acquisition fees are paid to our Advisor for services in connection with the selection, purchase, development or construction of real property and are generally 3% of gross offering proceeds including proceeds from our DRP. Acquisition fees and costs totaled approximately $3.1 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in the proceeds received through our DRP due to lowering the distribution rate in August 2012. We expect a reduction in the acquisition fee paid on DRP proceeds as a result of the amended advisory agreement effective April 1, 2014 discussed above.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses totaled approximately $6.8 million and $8.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower taxes assessed for properties that were transitioned from leased to managed structures in 2012. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in repair and maintenance expenses.

Bad debt expense. Bad debt expense was approximately $6.3 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to the establishment of reserves of uncollectible past due rents on two of our marinas tenants as compared to one golf tenant in 2012.

Impairment provision. Impairment provisions were approximately $248.2 million and $10 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the year ended 2013, we determined that the carrying values of certain properties exceeded their realizable values as described above. See “Impairment” for additional information.

Interest and other income (expense). Interest and other income (expense) was approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(Gain) Loss on lease terminations. (Gain) Loss on lease terminations was approximately $(2.7) million and $25.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As described above in “Operator Transitions and Lease Terminations”, during 2013, we recorded a gain on lease terminations of approximately $3.8 million as a result of terminating our lease related to an attractions property in Hawaii in exchange for receiving the Wet ‘n Wild trade name. This gain was partially offset by the $1.1 million loss on lease termination from transitioning 11 marinas properties to new operators as a result of the former tenant defaulting under the terms of its leases. During 2012, in anticipation of transitioning these and four other marinas properties to new tenants or managers, we recorded loss on lease terminations of approximately $20.2 million to write-off deferred rent and lease intangible assets.

Loan loss provision. Loan loss provisions were approximately $3.1 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded loan loss provisions of approximately $1.8 million relating to one ski loan as a result of a proposed restructure where we will provide payment concessions to the borrower. In addition, we expect to foreclose on an attractions property that serves as collateral on one of our other existing loans. We also recorded a loan loss provision of approximately $1.3 million during 2013 based on the estimated fair value of the collateral. During 2012, we recorded a loan loss provision as result of a troubled debt restructuring on a note receivable from one of our golf tenants where we restructured their loan.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $147.0 million and $132.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is primarily due to new properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2012.

Bargain purchase gain. Bargain purchase gain was approximately $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This gain relates to the newly acquired attractions property where the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the consideration transferred. The excess resulted from the fact that the seller did not widely market the property for sale and was motivated to sell because the property was deemed an outlier from the other investments owned by the seller.

Interest expense and loan cost amortization. Interest expense and loan cost amortization was approximately $70.8 million and $66.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to the additional long-term debt obtained subsequent to December 31, 2012.

Gain from sale of unconsolidated entities. Gain from sale of unconsolidated entities was approximately $55.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This gain relates to the sale of our interests in the 42 senior housing properties held through the CNLSun I, CNLSun II and CNLSun III ventures in July 2013. See “Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities” above for additional information. There was no sale of unconsolidated entities during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities was approximately $11.7 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The change is primarily attributable to an impairment provision of approximately $4.5 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012 as a result of an impairment analysis performed in connection with the marketing of seven retail destination properties for sale where it was determined that the carrying value of one of the Intrawest Venture properties was higher than the expected net sales proceeds. In addition, the Intrawest Venture stopped recording depreciation and amortization expenses during the fourth quarter of 2012 due to the venture’s decision to market its properties for sale. Also, the DMC Partnership incurred approximately $2.3 million in acquisition costs during the third quarter of 2012 relating to a potential acquisition that was ultimately not pursued. The increases were offset by the impact of the sale of our interest in 42 senior housing properties held through CNLSun I, CNLSun II and CNLSun III Ventures in July 2013. See “Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities” above for additional information. In 2014, our equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities is expected to decrease further due to the expected sale of the seven Intrawest Venture village retail properties.

Loss from discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations was approximately $22.0 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In December 2013, we decided to sell our multi-family residential property, and evaluated the property for impairment. We determined that the carrying value was unrecoverable when compared to the estimated fair value less costs to sell based on the expected third-party sale price and recorded an impairment provision of approximately $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, we recorded an impairment provision on an attraction property that was classified as held for sale of approximately $2.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the increase in loss from discontinued operations was offset by a gain of approximately $2.4 million recorded from the sale of our attraction and additional lifestyle properties. As described above in “Impairments”, in March 2014, our management approved a plan to market and sell our golf portfolio and as a result, will show the operating results of the golf portfolio in discontinued operations during 2014 and for all comparative periods presented.

Net loss and loss per share of common stock. The Company had a net loss of $252.5 million and $76.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in loss is primarily attributable to an impairment provision recorded on several properties as well as an increase interest expense and loan cost amortization. The increases were partially offset by (i) the recording of a gain in connection with the sale of our interests in 42 senior housing properties that were held through three unconsolidated joint ventures, (ii) an increase in rental income from leased properties and net operating income from managed properties related to properties acquired during 2012 and 2013, (ii) an increase in “same-store” rental income from leased properties and net operating income from managed properties primarily relating to our senior housing properties and ski and mountain lifestyle properties as a result of a strong 2012/2013 ski season, and (iii) a decrease in asset management fees, acquisition fees and expenses, other operating expenses and loss on lease terminations.

Year ended December 31, 2012 compared to Year ended December 31, 2011

Rental income from operating leases. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased by approximately $4.9 million as compared to 2011 primarily due to the conversion of 12 golf facilities and two marinas properties from a leased structure to a managed structure during the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, we reduced base lease rates on 32 of our golf properties that were operated by one of our tenants in connection with restructuring their leases in April 2012. This was offset in part by rental income from a new attractions property acquired in June 2012. The following information summarizes trends in rental income from operating leases and base rents for certain of our properties (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the weighted-average straight-line lease rate for our portfolio of wholly-owned leased properties was 8.6% and 8.8%, respectively. The decrease in the weighted average lease rate was primarily attributable to the lease amendment granted to one of our tenants effective as of January 1, 2012. These rates are based on annualized straight-line base rent due under our leases and the weighted-average contractual lease basis of our real estate investment properties subject to operating leases. The weighted-average lease rate of our portfolio will fluctuate based on our asset mix, timing of property acquisitions, lease terminations and reductions in rent granted to tenants.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had a total of 55 and 32 managed properties, respectively, of which certain properties are operated seasonally due to geographic location, climate and weather patterns. The increase in property operating revenues is primarily attributable to (i) us entering the senior housing space in 2011 with 10 acquisitions that generated revenues for a full year in 2012 as compared to a partial year in 2011 and the acquisition of ten senior housing properties during the year end December 31, 2012, (ii) the transition of two marinas properties and 12 golf facilities from leased to managed structures which was completed during the first quarter and third quarter of 2012, (iii) an increase in visitation and per capita spending at the attractions properties as a result of favorable weather and (iv) an increase in visitation at our Ski & Mountain Lifestyle properties, an additional lifestyle property, due to great natural snowfall enhanced by our investment in snowmaking infrastructures.

Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable. Interest income on mortgages and other notes receivable was approximately $13.0 million for both years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses from managed properties increased primarily attributable to us entering the senior housing space and acquiring 10 properties in 2011 that generated expenses for a full year in 2012 and partial year in 2011, the acquisition of 10 senior housing properties during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the transition of two marinas properties and certain golf facilities from leased to managed structure which were completed during the first quarter of 2012 and third quarter of 2012. The following information summarizes the expenses of our properties that are operated by third-party managers for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Asset management fees to advisor. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, asset management fees to our Advisor were approximately $35.7 million and $31.8 million, respectively. The increase in such fees was due to an increase in invested assets from the acquisition of additional real estate properties during the year ended December 31, 2012.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $18.7 million and $16.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to higher accounting and legal personnel charges of affiliates of our Advisor as a result of an increase in the number of managed properties which require higher levels of administrative, legal and professional services.

Ground leases and permit fees. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, ground lease and land permit fees were approximately $14.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively. The decrease was attributable to the reduction in gross revenue of certain underlying properties reducing ground lease and permit fees.

Acquisition fees and costs. Acquisition fees and costs totaled approximately $4.5 million and $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the sale of our common stock resulting from the completion of our third offering on April 9, 2011, offset by acquisition fees on our DRP and acquisition costs in connection with acquisitions made during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses totaled approximately $8.7 million and $6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to estimated repair costs net of insurance proceeds on two marinas properties that were damaged from Hurricane Sandy and an increase in additional expenses relating to the properties that were converted to managed structure due to lease terminations during 2012 offset by a reduction in repair and maintenance expenses. Repair and maintenance expenses during 2011 were higher due to deferred maintenance by former tenants who defaulted on their leases.

Bad debt expense. Bad debt expense was approximately $5.5 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the write-off of past due rents that were deemed uncollectible relating to leases with some of our golf and marinas tenants that were amended and leases that were terminated.

Loss on lease terminations. Loss on lease terminations were approximately $25.2 million and $7.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change was primarily attributable to the write-off of higher amounts of deferred rents and intangible in-place lease assets on the golf leases that were terminated during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the two marinas tenants that experienced financial difficulties where we anticipated transitioning the properties to new tenants or managers which was completed in 2013.

Table of Contents

Loan loss provision. Loan loss provision was approximately $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as a result of a troubled debt restructuring on a note receivable from one of our golf tenants where we restructured their loan. We had no loan loss provision for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Impairment provision. Impairment provision was approximately $10 thousand and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the year ended 2011, we determined that the carrying value of one golf facility was not recoverable.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately $132.2 million and $119.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase was primarily due to additional properties acquired and increases in capital improvements on our existing properties during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Interest and other income (expense). Interest and other income (expense) were approximately $1.2 million and $(0.2) million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change was primarily due to membership fees earned for certain of our golf facilities in 2012. During 2011, we did not record any membership fees earned.

Interest expense and loan cost amortization. Interest expense and loan cost amortization were approximately $66.8 million and $58.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the issuance of our senior notes in April 2011 and additional long-term debt obtained during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was approximately $4 thousand and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities was approximately $5.5 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change was primarily due to (i) the losses that were allocated to us in 2011 in connection with $10.2 million in transactional and closing costs associated with our entry to the CNLSun I Venture which contributed to the venture’s net loss for the period and reduced the equity in earnings we recorded; (ii) during 2012, the DMC Partnership incurred approximately $2.3 million in acquisition costs relating to a potential acquisition that was ultimately not pursued; and (iii) in connection with the proposed sale, we performed an impairment analysis and determined the carrying value of one of the Intrawest Venture properties was higher than the expected net sales proceeds. As such the venture recorded an impairment provision of approximately $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Equity in earnings or losses are allocated using the HLBV method, which can create significant variability in earnings or losses from the venture while the preferred cash distributions that we anticipate to receive from the venture may be more consistent as result of our distribution preferences.

Loss from discontinued operations. Losses from discontinued operations were approximately $2.9 million and $17.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In anticipation of selling certain golf properties in 2011, we evaluated the carrying value of the golf properties and determined that the carrying value was not recoverable and we recorded impairment provisions of approximately $13.7 million in 2011.

Net loss and loss per share of common stock. The increase in net loss of $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily attributable to (i) a reduction related to the transition of thirteen golf courses and two marinas properties from leases to managed structures whereby rental revenue under leases in 2011 was $6.1 million more than net operating income under managed structures in 2012, (ii) a reduction in rental income of $5.4 million related to the 32 golf facilities as a result of lease modifications as well as the sale of four other golf facilities, (iii) an increase in loss on lease terminations from non-cash charges relating to actual and anticipated lease terminations for certain of our tenants that are experiencing financial difficulties or have defaulted on their lease payments to us of approximately $16.2 million, and (iv) an increase in bad debt expense, asset management fees, general and administrative expenses, other operating expenses, interest expense and loan cost amortization and depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $34.9 million; offset in part by (i) an increase in net operating income from newly acquired managed properties and an increase in rental income from two newly acquired leased properties of approximately $20.0 million from properties acquired during the second half of 2011 through the end of 2012, (ii) an increase of net operating income from “same-store” managed properties of approximately $9.7 million primarily relating to an increase in visitation and spending at our attractions properties, (iii) a reduction in acquisition fees and expenses of approximately $6.7 million primarily due to the completion of our final offering in 2011, (iv) an increase in equity in earnings of approximately $4.5 million as a result of the formation of CNLSun I, CNLSun II and CNLSun III ventures in 2011, and (v) a reduction in impairment provision of approximately $16.0 million including approximately $12.8 million that was recorded as a component of discontinued operations.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds From Operations

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, NAREIT, promulgated a measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, real estate impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value of the property. We believe

 

101


Table of Contents

that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income or loss. However, FFO and MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or loss in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses for business combinations from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses as items that are expensed under GAAP and accounted for as operating expenses. Our management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we acquired our properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe it is presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income or loss: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to the write-off of deferred rent receivables and other lease-related assets as well as amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to remove the impact of GAAP straight-line adjustments from rental revenues); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, eliminations of adjustments relating to contingent purchase price obligations where such adjustments have been included in the derivation of GAAP net income or loss, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income or loss; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, and unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are

 

102


Table of Contents

adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we are responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do retain an outside consultant to review all of our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such non-recurring gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of on-going operations.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, straight-line adjustments for leases and notes receivable, amortization of above and below market leases, impairments of lease related assets, loss from early extinguishment of debt and accretion of discounts or amortization of premiums for debt investments. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income or loss. These expenses are paid in cash by us. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income or loss in determining cash flow from operating activities.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. For example, acquisitions costs are funded from our subscription proceeds and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different non-listed REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way and as such comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flows available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of its liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund cash needs including our ability to make distributions to stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value or based on an estimated net asset value. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. FFO and MFFO are not useful measures in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO and MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust its calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.

(3) In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. By adding back acquisition fees and expense relating to business combinations, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information of its operating performance and will also allow comparability between real estate entities regardless of their level of acquisition activities. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses relating to business combinations under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property.
(4) Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
(5) (Gain) loss of extinguishment of debt includes legal fees incurred with the transaction, prepayment penalty fees and write-off of unamortized loan costs, as applicable.
(6) Management believes that adjusting for gains or write-offs of lease related assets is appropriate because they are non-recurring non-cash adjustments that may not be reflective of our ongoing operating performance. In 2013, we recorded an impairment provision totaling $58.1 million for deferred rent from prior GAAP straight-lining adjustments and lease incentives which resulted from a change in our expected holding periods for those properties.
(7) In July 2013, we completed the sale of our interests in 42 senior housing properties held through three unconsolidated joint ventures. See “Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities” for additional information.
(8) The add back for impairment of real estate assets to arrive at FFO does not include approximately $58.1 million in impairments of deferred rent from prior GAAP straight-lining adjustments and lease incentives described in Footnote (6) above. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.

Total FFO and FFO per share was approximately $67.2 million and $97.7 million or $0.21 and $0.31 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in FFO and FFO per share is primarily attributable to (i) the recording of non-cash impairment provision related to deferred rent and lease incentives for certain properties primarily due to an expected change in our holding periods for those properties, (ii) a reduction in FFO contribution from unconsolidated entities primarily relating to the CNLSun I, CNLSun II, CNLSun III ventures as discussed above and (iii) an increase in interest expense and loan cost amortization. These factors decreasing FFO were partially offset by (i) an increase in rental income from leased properties and net operating income from managed properties related to properties acquired during 2013, (ii) an increase in “same-store” rental income from leased properties and net operating income from managed properties primarily relating to our senior housing properties and ski and mountain lifestyle properties as a result of a strong 2012/2013 ski season, (iii) a decrease in asset management fees, acquisition fees and expenses, other operating expenses and loss on lease terminations.

Total MFFO and MFFO per share was $122.9 million and $114.3 million or $0.39 and $0.37 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in MFFO and MFFO per share is primarily attributable to (i) an increase in rent payments from leased properties (rental revenue excluding straight-line adjustments for GAAP) and net operating income from managed properties related to properties acquired during 2013, (ii) an increase in “same-store” rent payments from leased properties and net operating income from managed properties primarily relating to our senior housing properties and ski and mountain lifestyle properties as a result of a strong 2012/2013 ski season, and (iii) a decrease in asset management fees and other operating expenses. The increases were partially offset by a reduction in MFFO contribution from unconsolidated entities primarily relating to the CNLSun I, CNLSun II, CNLSun III ventures as discussed above and an increase in interest expense and loan cost amortization.

Total FFO and FFO per share was approximately $97.7 million and $89.6 million or $0.31 and $0.30 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in FFO and FFO per share was attributable to (i) an increase in net operating income from newly acquired managed properties and an increase in rental income from two new leased properties totaling approximately $20.0 million which were acquired during second half of 2011 through the end of 2012, (ii) an increase in net operating income from “same-store” managed properties of approximately $9.7 million primarily relating to an increase in visitation and spending at our attractions properties, (iii) an increase in FFO contribution from unconsolidated entities of approximately $17.5 million primarily from our three senior housing ventures, (iv) a reduction in acquisition fees and expenses of $6.7 million primarily due to the completion of our final offering in 2011; offset in part, by (i) a reduction related to the transition of thirteen golf courses and two marinas properties from leases to managed structures whereby rental revenue under leases in 2011 was $6.1 million more than net operating income under managed structures in 2012, (ii) a reduction in rental income of $5.4 million related to the 32 golf facilities as a result of lease modifications as well as the sale of four other golf facilities, (iii) an increase in loss on lease terminations from non-cash charges relating to certain of our tenants that are experiencing financial difficulties and defaulted on their lease payments to us of approximately $16.2 million, and (iv) an increase in bad debt expense, other operating expenses, interest expense and loan cost amortization and general and administrative expenses of approximately $15.6 million.

Total MFFO and MFFO per share was approximately $114.3 million and $96.6 million or $0.37 and $0.32 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in MFFO and MFFO per share was principally due to (i) an increase in net operating income from newly acquired managed properties and an increase in rent payments from two new leased properties (rental revenue excluding straight-line adjustments for GAAP) of approximately $19.4 million related to properties acquired during second half of 2011 through the end of 2012, (ii) an increase in net operating income from “same store” managed properties of approximately $9.7 million primarily relating to an increase in visitation and spending at our attractions properties, and (iii) an increase in MFFO contribution from unconsolidated entities of approximately $9.9 million primarily from our three senior housing ventures; offset by, (i) a reduction related to the transition of thirteen golf courses and two marinas properties from leases to managed structures whereby rent payments under leases in 2011 was $3.6 million more than net operating income under managed structures in 2012, (ii) a reduction in rental income of $0.9 million related to the 32 golf facilities as a result of lease modifications as well as the sale of four other golf facilities, and (iii) an increase in bad debt expense, interest expense and loan costs amortization and general and administrative expenses of approximately $15.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), less discontinued operations and other income, plus (i) interest expense, net, and loan cost amortization and (ii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for the impact of equity in earnings (loss) of our unconsolidated entities, straight-line adjustments for leased properties and mortgages and other notes receivables, cash distributions from our unconsolidated entities and certain other non-recurring items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

106


Table of Contents
    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;

 

    Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

 

    Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) Investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the HLBV method of accounting. Under this method, we recognize income or loss based on the change in liquidating proceeds we would receive from a hypothetical liquidation of our investments based on depreciated book value. We adjust EBITDA for equity in earnings (loss) of our unconsolidated entities because we believe this is not reflective of the joint ventures’ operating performance or cash flows available for distributions to us. We believe cash distributions from our unconsolidated entities, exclusive of any financing transactions, are reflective of their operating performance and its impact to us and have been added back to adjusted EBITDA above. For the year ended December 31, 2013, cash distributions from unconsolidated entities excludes approximately $5.3 million in return of capital. For the year ended December 31, 2012, cash distributions from unconsolidated entities excludes approximately $3.4 million in return of capital.
(2) We believe that adjusting for straight-line adjustments for leased properties and mortgages and other notes receivable is appropriate because they are non-cash adjustments and reflect the actual cash receipts received by us from our tenants and borrowers.

(3) In July 2013, we completed the sale of our interests in 42 senior housing properties held through three unconsolidated joint ventures. See “Distributions from Unconsolidated Entities” above for additional information.
(4) In connection with an acquisition of an attraction property, we recorded a bargain purchase gain as a result of the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeding the consideration transferred as discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $186.6 million and $168.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributable (i) an increase in rent payments from leased properties (rental revenue excluding straight-line adjustments for GAAP) and net operating income from managed properties related to properties acquired during 2013, (ii) an increase in “same-store” rent payment for leased properties and net operating income from managed properties primarily relating to our senior housing properties and ski and mountain lifestyle properties as a result of a strong 2012/2013 ski season, and (iii) a decrease in asset management fees and other operating expenses. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in cash distributions from unconsolidated entities due to the sale of our interests in three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures and an increase in interest expense and loan cost amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $168.1 million as compared to approximately $138.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Increase was primarily due to approximately $13.2 million increase in cash distributions from unconsolidated entities, offset by a reduction in net operating income in 2011 compared to rent payments received of approximately $7.5 million on the 17 attractions properties and one lifestyle property that were transitioned from leased properties to managed properties.

Off Balance Sheet and Other Arrangements

We have investments in unconsolidated entities that own and lease real estate: the Intrawest Ventures at 80.0% and the DMC Partnership at 82.0%. In connection with the sale of our interests in 42 senior housing properties held through the CNLSun I, CNLSun II and CNLSun III ventures, the indebtedness held in each of the aforementioned ventures with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $659.5 million, as of July 1, 2013, was assumed by Health Care REIT, Inc. Our equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 contributed approximately $11.7 million, $5.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, to our results of operations. The partnership agreements governing the allocation of cash flows from the entities provide for the annual payment of a preferred return on our invested capital and thereafter in accordance with specified residual sharing percentages. Below is a schedule of our unconsolidated entities and its outstanding debt (in thousands):

The DMC Partnership is currently in the process of refinancing it loans and are expected to be completed in advance of the September 2014 maturity dates.

The Intrawest Venture decided to pursue the sale of its seven retail destination properties to third–party buyers and has classified its properties as assets held for sale. The Intrawest Venture plans to pay down the debt upon the sale of the properties.

In connection with the loans encumbering properties owned by our unconsolidated entities, if we engage in certain prohibited activities, we could become liable for the obligations of the unconsolidated entities which own the properties for certain enumerated recourse liabilities related to those entities and their properties. In the case of the borrowing for the resort village properties located in Canada, our obligations are such that we could become liable for the entire loan if we triggered a default due to bankruptcy or other similar events.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties, make loans and other permitted investments. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we expect to borrow and lend primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available, and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

Our fixed rate mortgage and other notes receivable, which totaled $118.0 million and $124.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are subject to market risk to the extent that the stated interest rates vary from current market rates for borrowings under similar terms. The estimated fair value of the mortgage notes receivable was approximately $112.2 million and $119.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following is a schedule of our fixed and variable debt maturities for each of the next five years, and thereafter (in thousands):

     3.24%        3.27%        2.80%        3.48%           

 

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) The fair value of our fixed-rate and variable-rate debt was determined using discounted cash flows based on market interest rates as of December 31, 2013. We determined market rates through discussions with our existing lenders pricing our loans with similar terms and current rates and spreads.
(2) As of December 31, 2013, some of our variable-rate debt in mortgages and notes payable were hedged.
(3) The 30-day CDOR rate was approximately 1.2% at December 31, 2013. The 30-day LIBOR rate was approximately 0.2% at December 31, 2013.

Management estimates that a hypothetical one-percentage point increase in LIBOR would have resulted in additional interest costs of approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This sensitivity analysis contains certain simplifying assumptions, and although it gives an indication of our exposure to changes in interest rates, it is not intended to predict future results and our actual results will likely vary.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of our direct ownership of one property in Canada which is leased to a third-party tenant. The lease payments we receive under the triple-net lease and debt service payments are denominated in Canadian dollars. Management does not believe this to be a significant risk or that currency fluctuations would result in a significant impact to our overall results of operations.

We are also indirectly exposed to foreign currency risk related to our investment in unconsolidated Canadian entities and interest rate risk from debt at our unconsolidated entities. However, we believe our risk of foreign exchange loss and exposure to credit and interest rate risks are mitigated as a result of our right to receive a preferred return on our investments in our unconsolidated entities. Our preferred returns as stated in the governing venture agreements are denominated in U.S. dollars.

CNL LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013

 

1. Organization and Nature of Business:

CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), was organized in Maryland on August 11, 2003. The Company operates and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax. Various wholly-owned subsidiaries have been and will be formed by the Company for the purpose of acquiring and owning direct or indirect interests in real estate. The Company generally invests in lifestyle properties in the United States that are primarily leased on a long-term (generally five to 20-years, plus multiple renewal options), triple-net or gross basis to tenants or operators that the Company considers to be industry leading. The Company also leases properties to taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) tenants and engages independent third-party managers to operate those properties. In the event of certain tenant defaults, the Company has also engaged third-party managers to operate properties on its behalf until they are re-leased.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned 144 lifestyle properties directly and indirectly within the following asset classes: ski and mountain lifestyle, golf facilities, senior housing, attractions, marinas and additional lifestyle properties. Eight of these 144 properties are owned through unconsolidated joint ventures and three are located in Canada. Although these are the asset classes in which the Company has invested and are most likely to invest in the future, it may acquire or invest in any type of property that it believes has the potential for long-term growth and income generation. The Company may also make or acquire loans (mortgage, mezzanine and other loans) or other permitted investments. The Company raises capital through its distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”) and uses such proceeds to make investments and other corporate purposes. The Company may make selected asset dispositions and reinvest those proceeds in other income producing investment opportunities or other permitted investments in order to maximize the growth and value of its portfolio.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries or subsidiaries for which the Company has a controlling interest, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, the Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, leases, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the entity in which it has a variable interest is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company’s analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. The Company bases its quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and financial agreements. The Company also uses its quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and if such determination is made, it includes the accounts of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements.

Allocation of Purchase Price for Real Estate Acquisitions Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the Company records the fair value of the tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings, improvements and equipment), intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases and above or below market lease values), assumed liabilities and any contingent liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is determined based on incorporating market participant assumptions, discounted cash flow models using appropriate capitalization rates, and the Company’s estimates reflecting the facts and circumstances of each acquisition. Acquisition fees and costs are expensed for acquisitions that are considered a business combination.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by various factors including the comparable land sale method and cost approach method which estimates the replacement cost new less depreciation and a go dark income approach on the building in which the building is assumed to be vacant.

The purchase price is allocated to in-place lease intangibles based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, including estimates of lost rental income during the expected lease up periods, and costs to execute similar leases such as leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

The Company may also enter into yield guarantees in connection with an acquisition, whereby the seller agrees to hold a portion of the purchase price in escrow that may be repaid to the Company in the event certain thresholds are not met. In calculating the estimated fair value of the yield guarantee, the Company considers information obtained about each property during the due diligence and budget process as well as discount rates to determine the fair value. The Company periodically evaluates the fair value of the yield guarantee and records any adjustments to the fair value as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Depreciation and Amortization Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over the lesser of 39 years or the remaining life of the ground lease including renewal options and leasehold and permit interests.

Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the respective lease term or estimated useful life. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangible is amortized to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs related to the lease would be written off. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, and like all intangibles, are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or upon a trigger event.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities —The Company accounts for its investment in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not maintain a controlling financial interest over these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for cash contributions, distributions and equity in earnings (loss) of the unconsolidated entities. Based on the respective venture structures and preferences the Company receives on distributions and liquidation, the Company records its equity in earnings of the entities under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting. Under this method, the Company recognizes income or loss in each period as if the net book value of the assets in the ventures were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period following the provisions of the joint venture agreements. In any given period, the Company could be recording more or less income than actual cash distributions received and more or less than what the Company may receive in the event of an actual liquidation. The Company’s investment in unconsolidated entities is accounted for as an asset acquisition in which acquisition fees and expenses are capitalized as part of the basis in the investment in unconsolidated entities. The acquisition fees and expenses create an outside basis difference that are allocated to the assets of the investee and, if assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets, the basis differences are then amortized as a component of equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities.

Acquisition Fees and Expenses The Company incurs acquisition fees and expenses in connection with the selection and acquisition of properties, including expenses on properties it determines not to acquire. The Company immediately expenses all acquisition costs and fees associated with transactions deemed to be business combinations, but capitalizes these costs for transactions deemed to be acquisitions of an asset or equity method investment.

Impairment of Real Estate Assets Real estate assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, general market conditions and significant changes in the manner of use or estimated holding period of the Company’s real estate assets or the strategy of its overall business, that the value of the real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. To assess if a property value is potentially impaired, management compares the estimated current and projected undiscounted operating cash flows, including estimated net sales proceeds, of the property over its remaining useful life to the net carrying value of the property. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In the event that the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted operating cash flows, the Company would record an impairment provision to adjust the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated fair value of the property.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

For real estate the Company indirectly owns through an investment in a joint venture, tenant-in-common interest or other similar investment structure which is accounted for under the equity method, when impairment indicators are present, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its investment to the carrying value. An impairment charge will be recorded to the extent the fair value of its investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline.

The estimated fair values of unconsolidated entities are based upon a discounted cash flow model that includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over the expected holding period. The capitalization rates and discounted rates utilized in the model are based upon rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the underlying properties.

Bargain Purchase GainA bargain purchase gain is recorded as a gain in earnings in the period of acquisition when the fair value of assets acquired net of liabilities assumed is greater than the consideration transferred.

Assets Held for Sale, net and Discontinued Operations Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to dispose. The Company classifies assets as held for sale once management has the authority to approve and commits to a plan to sell, the assets are available for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer and the sale of the assets are probable and transfer of the assets are expected to occur within one year. Upon the determination of the assets classified as held for sale or sold, the depreciation and amortization of the assets will terminate. The related operations of assets held for sale are reported as discontinued if such operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished both operationally and financially from the ongoing operations, such operations and cash flows will be eliminated from ongoing operations once the disposal occurs, and if the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement subsequent to the sale.

Real Estate Dispositions — When real estate is disposed of, the related cost, accumulated depreciation or amortization and any accrued rental income for operating leases are removed from the accounts and gains and losses from the disposition are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains from the disposition of real estate are generally recognized using the full accrual method in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance included in Real Estate Sales, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and subsequent involvement by the Company with the properties are met. Gains may be deferred in whole or in part until the sales satisfy the requirements of gain recognition on sale of real estate. As of December 31, 2013, the Company deferred gains on two of its real estate dispositions as a result of making loans to the buyers financing a portion of the sales price.

Mortgages and Other Notes Receivables — Mortgages and other notes receivable are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan origination costs or fees. Loan origination and other fees received by the Company in connection with making the loans are recorded as reduction of the note receivable and amortized into interest income, using the effective interest method, over the term of the loan. Acquisition fees and costs in connection with making the loans are capitalized and recorded as part of the mortgages and other notes receivable balance and amortized as a reduction of interest income over the term of the notes.

The Company evaluates impairment on its mortgages and other notes receivable on an individual loan basis which includes, current information and events, periodic visits and quarterly discussions on the financial results of the properties being collateralized and the financial stability of the borrowers who are also tenants or third-party managers for certain properties in the Company’s real estate portfolio. The Company reviews each loan to determine the risk of loss and whether the individual loan is impaired and whether an allowance is necessary. If allowance is necessary, the Company will reduce the carrying value of the loan accordingly and record a corresponding charge to net income (loss). The credit quality of the Company’s borrowers is primarily based on their payment history on an individual loan basis, and, as such, the Company does not assign its mortgages and other note receivable in credit quality categories.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

Cash — Cash consists of demand deposits at commercial banks. The Company also invests in cash equivalents consisting of highly liquid investments in money market funds with original maturities of three months or less during the year. As of December 31, 2013, cash deposits exceeded federally insured amounts. However, the Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Management continues to monitor third-party depository institutions that hold the Company’s cash, primarily with the goal of safety of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. To that end, the Company has diversified its cash among several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. Management has attempted to select institutions that it believes are strong based on an evaluation of their financial stability and exposure to poor performing assets.

Restricted Cash Certain amounts of cash are restricted to fund capital expenditures for the Company’s real estate investment properties or represent certain tenant security deposits.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — The Company utilizes derivative instruments to partially offset the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the cash flows associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company follows established risk management policies and procedures in its use of derivatives and does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in the statement of operations in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reflected in interest expense in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s hedges qualified as highly effective and, accordingly, all of the change in value is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates carrying value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, because of the liquid nature of the assets and relatively short maturities of the obligations. See Footnote 9. “Mortgages and other Notes Receivable, net” and Footnote 10. “Indebtedness” for the Company’s estimates of the fair value of its mortgages and other notes receivable and its indebtedness as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Fair Value Measurements – Fair value assumptions are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance under GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels of fair value inputs:

 

    Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

    Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; such as, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on the Company’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

When market data inputs are unobservable, the Company utilizes inputs that it believes reflects the Company’s best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs paid in connection with obtaining long-term debt are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the accumulated amortization of loan costs was approximately $22.9 million and $15.5 million, respectively.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

Foreign Currency Translation The accounting records for the Company’s one consolidated foreign location, in Vancouver, British Columbia, are maintained in the local currency and revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ equity as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition For properties subject to operating leases, rental revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Additional percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance thresholds, such as gross revenues, is deferred until the underlying performance thresholds have been achieved. Property operating revenues from managed properties, which are not subject to leasing arrangements, are derived from room rentals, food and beverage sales, ski and spa operations, golf operations, membership dues, ticket sales, concessions, waterpark and themepark operations, resident rental fees, assistance services, and other service revenues. Such revenues, excluding membership dues, are recognized when rooms are occupied, when services have been performed, and when products are delivered. Membership dues are recognized ratably over the term of the membership period. For mortgages and other notes receivable, interest income is recognized on an accrual basis when earned, except for loans placed on non-accrual status, for which interest income is recognized when received. Any deferred portion of contractual interest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding note. Loan origination fees charged and acquisition fees incurred in connection with the making of loans are recognized as interest income, and a reduction in interest income, respectively over the term of the notes.

Capital Improvement Reserve Income The Company’s leases require the tenants to pay certain contractual amounts that are set aside by the Company for replacements of fixed assets and other improvements to the properties. These amounts are and will remain the property of the Company during and after the term of the lease. The amounts are recorded as capital improvement reserve income at the time that they are earned and are included in rental income from operating leases in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Mortgages and Other Notes Payable Mortgages and other notes payable are recorded at the stated principal amount and are generally collateralized by the Company’s lifestyle properties with monthly interest only and/or principal payments. A loan that is accounted for as a troubled debt restructure is recorded at the present value of the future cash payments, principal and interest, specified by the new terms. The Company may undergo a troubled debt restructuring if management determines that the underlying collateralized properties are not performing to meet debt service. In order to qualify as a troubled debt restructure the following must apply: (i) the underlying collateralized property value decreased as a result of the economic environment, (ii) transfer of asset (cash) to partially satisfy the loan has occurred and (iii) new loan terms decrease the effective interest rate and extend the maturity date. The difference between the future cash payments specified by the new terms and the carrying value immediately preceding the restructure is recorded as gain on extinguishment of debt.

Income Taxes The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and related regulations beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income taxes provided it distributes at least 100% of its REIT taxable income and capital gains and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Subject to compliance with applicable tax law, certain properties may be operated using an eligible third-party manager. In those cases, taxable income from those operations may be subject to federal income tax. Management believes that the Company was organized and operated in a manner that enabled the Company to continue to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state laws, each TRS entity of the Company is subject to taxation of income on the profits and losses from its operations. The Company accounts for federal and state income taxes with respect to its TRS entities using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and respective tax bases and operating losses and tax-credit carry forwards.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Earnings (loss) Per Share Earnings (loss) per share is calculated based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. For example, significant estimates and assumptions are made in connection with the allocation of purchase price and the analysis of real estate, equity method investments and for impairments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Out of Period Adjustments During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company identified errors in the consolidated financial statements relating to prior years. The Company understated expenses related to the transition of certain properties from leased to managed structure which resulted in an understatement of loss on lease terminations by $1.6 million and an understatement of other operating expenses by $2.2 million. The Company concluded these adjustments were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to its results for this or any of the prior periods and, as such, the Company recorded out of period adjustments to increase its net loss during the fourth quarter of 2012 by $3.8 million.

In July 2013, the Company completed the sale of 42 senior housing properties held through three unconsolidated joint ventures. In connection with the transaction, the Company received aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $195.4 million and recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $55.4 million. The carrying amounts of the investments relating to the unconsolidated joint ventures were understated prior to disposition as a result of acquisition fees and costs that were incorrectly expensed in prior years. The Company concluded these adjustments were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to its results for this or any of the prior periods and, as such, the Company recorded out of period adjustments that increased the gain on sale in the third quarter of 2013 by approximately $1.9 million. See “Footnote 8. Variable Interest and Unconsolidated Entities” for additional information.

Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements — In connection with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company determined that the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 contained an error in the presentation of a deposit escrowed as additional collateral to one of the Company’s loans, entered into by a non-guarantor subsidiary during the three months ended September 30, 2012, in the amount of approximately $11.2 million. Accordingly, the Company revised the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 as follows (in thousands):

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

The Company concluded that the corrections were not material to any of its previously issued consolidated financial statements based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors performed in accordance with the guidance provided in Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality.” The error and revisions did not affect the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Losses, Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, Supplemental Consolidating Balance Sheet, Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Operations, Supplemental Consolidating Statement of Comprehensive Loss or cash balances for any reporting periods. Additionally, the revisions did not affect the Company’s compliance with any financial covenants.

Segment Information Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker currently evaluates the Company’s operations from a number of different operational perspectives including but not limited to a property-by-property basis and by tenant and operator. The Company derives all significant revenues from a single reportable operating segment of business, lifestyle real estate regardless of the type (ski, attractions, senior housing, etc.) or ownership structure (leased or managed). In addition, the Company evaluated each individual property and determined they were individually less than 10% of the combined revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the Company does not report segment information; nevertheless, management periodically evaluates whether the Company continues to have one single reportable segment of business.

Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported total assets and total liabilities, net loss or stockholders’ equity. The results of operations of the real estate properties that are classified as held for sale, along with properties sold during the period, are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-10, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (Topic 815).” This ASU permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to U.S. government and the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). This ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI).” This update clarified the guidance in subtopic 220 and requires preparers to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of AOCI. The ASU also requires companies to report changes in AOCI balances. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted this ASU. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).” This ASU provides an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. This ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210).” This ASU also serves to amend the disclosure requirements in FASB ASU 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” This ASU will require companies to provide both net amounts (those that are offset) and gross information (as if amounts are not offset) in notes to the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, that clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirement within the scope of ASU 2011-11. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. See Footnote 11. “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) Amount shown is net of the present value of entrance fee liabilities assumed on date of acquisition of approximately $13.8 million.
(2) In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $2.7 million in bargain purchase gain as a result of the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeding the consideration transferred. The excess resulted from the fact that the seller did not widely market the property for sale and was motivated to sell because the property was deemed an outlier from the other investments owned by the seller.

These properties are subject to long-term triple-net leases with initial terms of ten to 20 years with renewal options. These acquisitions are not considered material to the Company as such no pro forma information has been included.

The Company evaluates its properties on an ongoing basis, including any changes to intended use of the properties, operating performance of its properties or plans to dispose of assets to determine if the carrying value is recoverable. During 2013, the Company recorded approximately $61.0 million in impairment provisions relating to two properties when it decided that it would no longer actively pursue the development of its unimproved land and decided it would dispose of its multi-family residential property. The Company determined that the carrying values of these properties were not recoverable based on comparable land sales or potential third party sales prices. As such, the Company recorded impairments to write down the book values of the properties to the estimated sale prices less costs to sell.

4. Real Estate Investment Properties, net (Continued):

 

During 2013, the Company also recorded approximately $7.6 million in impairments related to a few of its smaller properties that it marketed for sale during 2013 or for which it received unsolicited offers to sell during the first quarter of 2014. The Company also recorded impairment provisions of $10.8 million related to properties that continued to experience declines in operating results from residual challenges of the economic downturn. The Company determined that the carrying values of these properties were not recoverable based on either the estimated sales prices from third party buyers less costs to sell, or in other cases, based on the discounted cash flows and residual values expected from these properties. The Company recorded these impairment provisions to write down the book values of these properties to their net recoverable value as described above.

As discussed in Note 20. “Subsequent Events”, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company evaluated its golf portfolio and determined in March 2014, that the long term strategy included a potential sale of the golf properties.

Under a triple-net lease, the tenant is responsible for paying percentage rent and capital improvement reserve rent. Capital improvement reserves are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue of the property and are set aside by the Company for capital improvements including replacements, from time to time, of furniture, fixtures and equipment. Percentage rent is generally based on a percentage of gross revenue after it exceeds a certain threshold. Total percentage rent recorded was approximately $2.5 million, $1.9 million and $1.3 million the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Capital improvement reserve revenues are generally based on a percentage of gross revenue at the property and totaled approximately $25.6 million, $23.4 million and $22.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, substantially all of the property expenses are required to be paid directly by the tenants, including real estate taxes which the tenants pay directly to the taxing authorities. The total annualized property taxes assessed on these properties, and paid directly by tenants, were approximately $11.9 million, $12.7 million and $12.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

8. Variable Interest and Unconsolidated Entities:

Consolidated VIEs – As of December 31, 2012, the Company had five wholly-owned subsidiaries, designed as single property entities to own and lease their respective properties to single tenant operators, which are VIEs due to future buy-out options held by the respective tenants. During the year ended December 31, 2013, one of the five VIEs sold its property and the Company classified an additional newly wholly-owned subsidiary as a VIE due to a potential future buy-out option originated in connection with its recent acquisition of one of the senior housing properties. In addition, the Company terminated its leases with one other tenant. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has four VIEs with buy-out options, of which two tenants can exercise but have not elected to do so. The remaining two tenants’ buy-out options will be exercisable in 2014 and 2018. The four buy-out options expire in July 2023 and March 2030. In addition, two other entities that hold the properties in which service providers have a significant variable interest were also determined to be VIEs. The Company determined it is the primary beneficiary and holds a controlling financial interest in each of these entities due to the Company’s power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities, as well as its obligation to absorb the losses and its right to receive benefits from these entities that could potentially be significant to these entities. As such, the transactions and accounts of these VIEs are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Other than the aforementioned, the Company had no change to its four wholly-owned subsidiaries that were deemed to be VIEs and no impact to its primary beneficiary position.

The aggregate carrying amount and major classifications of the consolidated assets that can be used to settle obligations of the VIEs and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs that are non-recourse to the Company are as follows (in thousands):

 

     December 31,  
     2013      2012  

Assets

     

Real estate investment properties, net

   $ 184,306       $ 207,516   

Other assets

   $ 29,075       $ 39,618   

Liabilities

     

Mortgages and other notes payable

   $ 87,095       $ 80,481   

Other liabilities

   $ 13,214       $ 15,806   

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is limited to its net investment in these entities which totaled approximately $113.1 million and $150.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s exposure is limited because of the non-recourse nature of the borrowings of the VIEs.

Unconsolidated Entities - As of December 31, 2012, the Company held ownership in five ventures, the DMC Partnership, the Intrawest Venture, the CNLSun I, the CNLSun II and the CNLSun III ventures. In July 2013, the Company completed the sale of its interest in 42 senior housing properties held through the CNLSun I, CNLSun II and CNLSun III ventures as a result of Sunrise Living Investments, Inc. (“Sunrise”), the Company’s venture partner, exercising its purchase option in the aforementioned ventures. In connection with the transaction, the Company received aggregate sales proceeds of approximately $195.4 million, net of transaction costs, and recorded aggregate gains of approximately $55.4 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company holds ownership in two unconsolidated ventures. Of these, the Intrawest Venture was deemed a VIE in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. While several significant decisions are shared between the Company and its joint venture partner in the Intrawest Joint Venture, the Company does not direct the activities that most significantly impact the venture’s performance and has not consolidated the activities of the venture. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its interest in the Intrawest Venture is limited to the carrying amount of its investment in the venture, which totaled approximately $25.2 million and $23.5 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In December 2012, the Intrawest Venture, elected to market for sale its seven destination retail properties to third–party buyers and classified its assets as held for sale. In accordance with accounting standards, the assets held for sale classification may be extended beyond the initial one-year period if certain exceptions are met. The Intrawest Venture met the exception where during the initial one-year period, circumstances arose that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the assets (disposal group) previously classified as held for sale were not sold by the end of that period. As such, the venture continued to classify these assets as held for sale at December 31, 2013. The sale of the properties was probable during the initial one-year period and continues to be probable at December 31, 2013.

8. Variable Interest and Unconsolidated Entities (Continued):

 

The Intrawest Venture is working with the Canada Revenue Authority to resolve an assessment and other matters related to one of its entities. The Intrawest Venture’s maximum exposure relating to these matters is approximately $14.6 million, however, it believes the more likely than not resolution will be approximately $1.3 million. As such, an accrual of $1.3 million has been reflected in the financial information for the Intrawest Venture.

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) In April 2012, the Company restructured a $6 million outstanding working capital line of credit receivable with a borrower that was having financial difficulties into a $6 million term loan. As part of the restructure, the Company reduced the interest rate from a fixed rate of 11% per annum to a rate of LIBOR plus 4% per annum and extended the maturity date from November 2013 to December 2016, with no payments of principal or interest required until January 2014. The borrower has an option to extend the maturity date to December 2021, subject to certain terms and conditions. During 2012, the Company recorded a loan loss provision under this troubled debt restructure of approximately $1.7 million representing the difference between the expected future cash flows discounted at the original loan’s effective interest rate and the net carrying value of the loan. Additionally, as part of the restructure, any percentage rent received for certain of the golf facilities will be used to reduce the term loan until it is paid in full. The percentage rent recorded as a reduction to the term loan amounted to approximately $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(2) In December 2013, one of the Company’s borrowers approached the Company about modifying the terms of their debt service payments due to its current financial challenges. In anticipation of providing payment concessions to the borrower , the Company recorded a loan loss provision of approximately $1.8 million representing the difference between the expected future cash flows discounted at the original loan’s effective interest rate and the net carrying value of the loan. In addition, the Company expects to foreclose on an attractions property that serves as collateral on one of its other existing loans and recorded a loan loss provision of approximately $1.3 million based on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

The estimated fair market value of the Company’s mortgages and other notes receivable was approximately $112.2 million and $119.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, based on discounted cash flows for each individual instrument based on market interest rates as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Because this methodology includes inputs that are not observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to the Company’s mortgage and other notes receivable is categorized as Level 3 on the three-level valuation hierarchy.

10. Indebtedness (continued):

 

Line of Credit – In July 2013, the Company’s revolving line of credit was repaid in full with the proceeds from the sale of its interest in three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures. See Note 8. “Variable Interest and Unconsolidated Entities” for additional information. In July 2013, the Company’s borrowing capacity in its revolving line of credit was reduced from $125.0 million to approximately $119.7 million as a result of the operator transition relating to three marina properties. In December 2013, the Company modified its revolving line of credit increasing the total borrowing capacity to $160.0 million, of which $50.0 million was drawn as of December 31, 2013. This revolving line of credit facility bears interest (a) between LIBOR plus 3.0% and LIBOR plus 3.75% or (b) between a base rate (the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds rate) plus 2.0% and a base rate plus 2.75%; both LIBOR and base rate pricing are contingent upon certain leverage ratios. This revolving credit facility matures in August 2015 and is collateralized by certain of the Company’s properties. The facility contains customary affirmative financial covenants and ratios including fixed charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt to total asset ratio and limitations on distributions. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the aforementioned financial covenants and ratios.

The following is a schedule of future principal payments and maturities for all indebtedness (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2013, certain loans required the Company to meet certain customary financial covenants and ratios including fixed charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt to total asset ratio and limitations on distributions, with which the Company was in compliance. The Company’s other long-term borrowings are not subject to any significant financial covenants.

In addition, under the terms of the indenture governing the Company’s senior notes, among other things, place certain limitations on the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries, ability to (i) transfer and sell assets; (ii) pay dividends not exceeding 95% of the adjusted funds from operations as defined under, or make certain distributions, buy subordinated indebtedness or securities or make certain other restricted payments; (iii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (iv) incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries; (v) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; or (vii) engage in business other than a business that is the same or similar to the Company’s current business or a reasonably related extension thereof. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions that are described in the indenture. Additionally, the indenture requires the Company to maintain, at all times, total unencumbered assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of our consolidated unsecured indebtedness. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the senior notes covenants.

The estimated fair values of mortgages and other notes payable and the line of credit were approximately $803.7 million and $742.9 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, based on rates and spreads the Company would expect to obtain for similar borrowings with similar loan terms. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to the Company’s mortgage notes payable is categorized as Level 3 on the three-level valuation hierarchy. The estimated fair values of the Company’s senior notes was approximately $410.4 million and $385.6 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, based on prices traded for similar or identical instruments in active or inactive markets and is categorized as level 2 on the three-level valuation hierarchy.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to offset partially the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the cash flows associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company follows established risk management policies and procedures in its use of derivatives and does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative instruments on its balance sheet at fair value. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in the statements of operations in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reflected in interest expense in the statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had five interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest payments from their inception. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued):

 

 

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) The strike rate does not include the credit spread on each of the notional amounts.
(2) The Company swapped the interest rate on its $20.0 million loan denominated in Canadian dollars to a fixed interest rate of 6.4%. The notional amount has been converted from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of 0.94 and 1.00 Canadian dollars for $1.00 U.S. dollar on December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s hedges qualified as highly effective and, accordingly, all of the change in value is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss). Determining fair value and testing effectiveness of these financial instruments requires management to make certain estimates and judgments. Changes in assumptions could have a positive or negative impact on the estimated fair values and measured effectiveness of such instruments could, in turn, impact the Company’s results of operations.

 

12. Fair Value Measurements:

The Company has five investment properties that were classified as assets held for sale and carried at fair value as of December 31, 2013. The Level 3 unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the real estate properties include, but are not limited to, comparables sales transactions and other information from brokers and potential buyers, as applicable.

The Company’s derivative instruments are valued primarily based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, volatilities, and credit risks) and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of derivative instruments also includes a credit value adjustment which is a Level 3 input. However, the impact of the assumption is not significant to its overall valuation calculation, and therefore the Company considers its derivative instruments to be classified as Level 2. The fair value of such instruments is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is making an accounting policy election to use the exception in ASU 820-10-35-18D with respect to measuring fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities entered into with a particular counterparty, where the Company reports the net exposure to the credit risk of that counterparty.

The following tables show the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, as follows (in thousands):

13. Income Taxes:

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded net current and long-term deferred tax assets related to depreciation differences, deferred income, and net operating losses at its TRS subsidiaries and properties under foreclosure elections as a result of certain tenant defaults and lease terminations. Because there are no historical earnings and no certainty that such deferred tax assets will be available to offset future tax liabilities, the Company has established a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The components of the deferred taxes recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

 

     Year Ended December 31,  
     2013     2012

The Company’s TRS subsidiaries had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state purposes of approximately $250.0 million and $233.2 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to offset future taxable income. The estimated net operating loss carry-forwards will expire as follows (in thousands):

 

Expiration Year

   Net

Loss

   $ 1,600   

2026

   $ 5,600   

2027

   $ 26,700   

2028

   $ 39,700   

2031

   $ 32,100   

2032

   $ 34,600   

2033

   $ 16,800   

The Company analyzed its material tax positions and determined that it has not taken any uncertain tax positions. In addition, the Company has determined that no significant differences exist between the total income tax expense or benefit and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income rate to its TRS income before taxes without record to the impact of the valuation allowance.

The Company also maintains accounts at a bank in which the Company’s chairman and vice-chairman serve as directors. The Company had deposits at that bank of approximately $8.6 million and $5.5 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

15. Stockholders’ Equity:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan —In 2011 the Company completed its final offering and filed a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Security Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, to register the sale of up to an additional $250 million (26.3 million shares of common stock) under its DRP. In August 2012, in order to comply with requirements that became applicable once the Company completed its offerings, the Company’s Board of Directors determined its estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share was $7.31. Accordingly, effective August 2012, DRP shares were offered at $6.95, which represented a 5% discount to the estimated NAV of $7.31. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $54.9 million (representing 7.9 million shares) through its DRP. In March 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a revised estimate of NAV of $6.85 per share effective as of December 31, 2013 and amended its DRP so that shares under the Company’s DRP would be sold at the new estimated NAV of $6.85 per share rather than a discount to the NAV.

Distributions- In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must, among other things, make distributions each taxable year equal to at least 90.0% of its REIT taxable income. The Company intends to make regular distributions, and the Board of Directors currently intends to declare and pay distributions on a quarterly basis. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company declared and paid distributions of approximately $135.5 million ($0.4252 per share), $163.7 million ($0.5252 per share) and $188.4 million ($0.6252 per share), respectively.

DECEMBER 31, 2013

 

15. Stockholders’ Equity (continued):

 

For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 29.3% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered capital gain as a result of the gain on the sale of the Company’s three unconsolidated senior housing joint ventures and approximately 70.7% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. For both of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 0.0% of the distributions paid to stockholders were considered taxable income and approximately 100.0% were considered a return of capital to stockholders for federal income tax purposes. No amounts distributed to stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were required to be or have been treated as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders’ return on their invested capital as described in the advisory agreement.

Redemption of Shares —The Company redeems shares pursuant to its redemption plan, which is designed to provide eligible stockholders with limited interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to the Company prior to any listing of its shares. There is currently a sizable backlog and a waiting list for redemption requests and stockholders will likely wait a long period of time to have their shares redeemed, if ever.

Beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that redemptions under its DRP would be limited to $7.5 million per calendar quarter. Effective for the first quarter of 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved redemptions of up to $1.75 million per calendar quarter. For shareholders redeemed prior to August 1, 2012, the redemption price per share was a percentage of the offering price; and the applicable percentage was based on the number of years the stockholder held the shares as of the date of the redemption request (the “Redemption Percentage”).

On August 9, 2012, the Company’s Board determined that the estimated NAV per share was $7.31. The Company executed the Third Amended and Restated Redemption Plan (the “Redemption Plan”) to revise the redemption price so that for those shares redeemed after August 1, 2012, the redemption price per share would be based on the applicable Redemption Percentage of the Company’s estimated value per share on the date the redemption was effected. Pursuant to the DRP, shareholders may not request redemption of less than 25% of their shares.

In addition, on August 9, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an increase of the redemption amount to the lesser of (i) $3.0 million per calendar quarter or (ii) the amount of aggregate proceeds available under the Company’s DRP, effective as of the third quarter of 2012.

The following details the Company’s redemptions for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands except per share data).

16. Concentrations of Risk:

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had zero and one tenant, Evergreen Alliance Golf Limited, L.P. (“EAGLE”) that individually accounted for 10.0% or more of its aggregate assets. EAGLE leased 32 golf facilities with the carrying value of the properties at 10.1% as of December 31, 2012. There were no tenants that individually accounted for 10.0% or more of the Company’s total revenues for the three years ended December 31, 2013.

Additionally, the Company made a loan to EAGLE which generated interest income of approximately $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Failure of the above tenant or borrower to pay contractual lease or interest payments could significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flows from operations which, in turn would impact its ability to pay debt service and make distributions to stockholders.

The Company’s real estate investment portfolio is geographically diversified with properties in 36 states and Canada. The Company owns ski and mountain lifestyle properties in eight states and Canada with a majority of those properties located in the northeast, California and Canada.

17. Commitments and Contingencies:

A purported class action lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares under our DRP on or after April 1, 2010, Allyn v. CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. et al., was filed on January 18, 2013 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company and certain of our current and former directors. The lawsuit alleged claims of breach of fiduciary duty against the directors and constructive trust and unjust enrichment against the Company. On November 27, 2013, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a cause of action and dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, from which no appeal was taken.

The Company acquired certain properties that are on land owned by a governmental entity or other third party where the Company owns a leasehold interest which requires payment of ground lease and permit fees in accordance with the lease agreement. For properties that are subject to a leasing arrangement, ground leases and permit fees are paid by the tenants and the Company records the corresponding equivalent revenue in rental income from operating leases. For properties that are on a managed structure, ground leases and permit fees are paid by the Company.

19. Supplemental Consolidating Financial Statements:

The Company had issued senior obligations which are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are joint and several, full and unconditional.

In June 2013, the Company revised the presentation of the changes in other comprehensive income (loss) to reflect those correctly as changes in both the Issuer and the Consolidating Adjustments columns, with a net zero impact to the Consolidated columns. The Company has determined that these revisions are not material to the related financial statements. The impact of these revisions (which had a net zero impact to the Consolidated column) are to increase (decrease) comprehensive income (loss) for the Issuer column and to reflect an off-setting (increase) decrease of the comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidating Adjustments column as follows (in thousands):

CNL LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013

 

20. Subsequent Events:

The Company’s Board of Directors declared distributions of $0.10625 per share to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2014. These distributions will be paid by March 31, 2014.

In February 2014, the Company obtained a $40.0 million loan with an existing third-party lender. The loan bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 3.50% with a 1.50% LIBOR floor and matures in April 2017. This is a supplement to one of the Company’s existing loans with a principal outstanding balance of approximately $100.7 million which is collateralized by six ski and mountain lifestyle properties. The terms of the existing loan remain the same.

In March 2014, the Company’s Advisor amended its advisory agreement, effective April 1, 2014, to reduce all advisory fees, which includes the full elimination of acquisition fees on equity, performance fees, debt acquisition fees and disposition fees, and the reduction in the asset management fees to 0.075% monthly (or 0.90% annually) of average invested assets. The Company’s Advisor will consider further reductions in the asset management fees if the Company has not materially begun to execute an exit event or events before April 1, 2015.

In March 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Redemption Plan whereby the tiered redemption price structure was discontinued and all shares that have been held for at least one year may now be submitted for redemption at an amount equal to its NAV per share as of the redemption date.

In March 2014, the Company engaged Jefferies LLC, a leading global investment banking and advisory firm, to assist the Company’s management and its Board of Directors in actively evaluating various strategic alternatives to provide liquidity to the Company’s shareholder. In March 2014, the Company determined that the long term strategy related to the golf portfolio included a potential sale of the golf properties. The Company made this decision based on its review of golf portfolio trends and review of market data from third parties.

None.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on management’s assessment, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control Integrated Framework (1992)”.

Pursuant to rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, this annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting

FOOTNOTES:

 

(1) In April 2012, the Company restructured a $6 million outstanding working capital line of credit receivable with a borrower that was having financial difficulties into a $6 million term loan. As part of the restructure, the Company reduced the interest rate from a fixed rate of 11% per annum to a rate of LIBOR plus 4% per annum and extended the maturity date from November 2013 to December 2016, with no payments of principal or interest required until January 2014. The borrower has an option to extend the maturity date to December 2021, subject to certain terms and conditions. During 2012, the Company recorded a loan loss provision under this troubled debt restructure of approximately $1.7 million representing the difference between the expected future cash flows discounted at the original loan’s effective interest rate and the net carrying value of the loan. Additionally, as part of the restructure, any percentage rent received for certain of the golf facilities will be used to reduce the term loan until it is paid in full. The percentage rent recorded as a reduction to the term loan amounted to approximately $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(2) In December 2013, one of the Company’s borrowers approached the Company about modifying the terms of their debt service payments due to its current financial challenges. In anticipation of providing payment concessions to the borrower, the Company recorded a loan loss provision of approximately $1.8 million representing the difference between the expected future cash flows discounted at the original loan’s effective interest rate and the net carrying value of the loan. In addition, the Company expects to foreclose on an attractions property that serves as collateral on one of its other existing loans and recorded a loan loss provision of approximately $1.3 million based on the estimated fair value of the collateral.
