NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Overview and Organization

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega,” “we,” “our” or the “Company”) has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the United States and the United Kingdom. Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”). Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. All of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed-rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor.

Omega was formed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. In April 2015, Aviv REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Aviv”), merged (the “Aviv Merger”) with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Omega, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 30, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Aviv, OHI Healthcare Properties Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Omega (“Merger Sub”), OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Omega OP”), and Aviv Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Aviv OP”).

Prior to April 1, 2015 and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Omega restructured the manner in which it holds its assets by converting to an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust structure (the “UPREIT Conversion”). As a result of the UPREIT Conversion and following the consummation of the Aviv Merger, substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by Omega OP.

Omega OP is governed by the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Partnership Agreement”). Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Company and Merger Sub are the general partners of Omega OP, and have exclusive control over Omega OP’s day-to-day management. As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned approximately 95% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP (“Omega OP Units”), and investors owned approximately 5% of the Omega OP Units.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Omega have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega, (ii) Omega OP, and (iii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and our net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents a purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the cost associated with expanding our portfolio. Goodwill is not amortized. We assess goodwill for potential impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the entity. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying value, then we perform a two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment and measure the amount of impairment we will recognize, if any. We do not expect any of the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

Redeemable Limited Partnership Unitholder Interests and Noncontrolling Interests

As of April 1, 2015 and after giving effect to the Aviv Merger, the Company owned approximately 138.8 million Omega OP Units and Aviv OP owned approximately 52.9 million Omega OP Units. Each of the Omega OP Units (other than the Omega OP Units owned by Omega) is redeemable at the election of the Omega OP Unit holder for cash equal to the then-fair market value of one share of Omega common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Omega Common Stock”), subject to the Company’s election to exchange the Omega OP Units tendered for redemption for unregistered shares of Omega Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Effective June 30, 2015, the Company (through Merger Sub, in its capacity as the general partner of Aviv OP) caused Aviv OP to make a distribution of Omega OP Units held by Aviv OP (or equivalent value) to Aviv OP investors (the “Aviv OP Distribution”) in connection with the liquidation of Aviv OP. As a result of the Aviv OP Distribution, Omega directly and indirectly owns approximately 95% of the outstanding Omega OP Units, and the other investors own approximately 5% of the outstanding Omega OP Units. As a part of the Aviv OP Distribution, Omega settled approximately 0.2 million units via cash settlement.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable to a parent. We present the portion of any equity that we do not own in consolidated entities as noncontrolling interests and classify those interests as a component of total equity, separate from total stockholders’ equity, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income attributable to the entity’s parent is included in net income attributable to common stockholders on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In addition, we include net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in net income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

As our ownership of a controlled subsidiary increases or decreases, any difference between the aggregate consideration paid to acquire the noncontrolling interests and our noncontrolling interest balance is recorded as a component of equity in additional paid-in capital, so long as we maintain a controlling ownership interest.

Foreign Operations

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries operating in the United States. The functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries operating in countries other than the United States is the principal currency in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, we translate their financial statements into the U.S. dollar. We translate assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. The resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain balance sheet items, primarily equity and capital-related accounts, are reflected at the historical exchange rate. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period.

We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries may have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in the entity’s functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in results of operations, unless it is intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature and then the adjustments are included in AOCI.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes: contractual receivables, effective yield interest receivables, straight-line rent receivables and lease inducements, net of an estimated provision for losses related to uncollectible and disputed accounts. Contractual receivables relate to the amounts currently owed to us under the terms of our lease and loan agreements. Effective yield interest receivables relate to the difference between the interest income recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan agreement and the interest currently due to us according to the contractual agreement. Straight-line receivables relate to the difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and the amounts currently due to us according to the contractual agreement. Lease inducements result from value provided by us to the lessee, at the inception or renewal of the lease, and are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the non-cancellable lease term.

On a quarterly basis, we review our accounts receivable to determine their collectability. The determination of collectability of these assets requires significant judgment and is affected by several factors relating to the credit quality of our operators that we regularly monitor, including (i) payment history, (ii) the age of the contractual receivables, (iii) the current economic conditions and reimbursement environment, (iv) the ability of the tenant to perform under the terms of their lease and/or contractual loan agreements and (v) the value of the underlying collateral of the agreement. If we determine collectability of any of our contractual receivables is at risk, we estimate the potential uncollectible amounts and provide an allowance. In the case of a lease recognized on a straight-line basis or existence of lease inducements, we generally provide an allowance for straight-line accounts receivable and/or the lease inducements when certain conditions or indicators of adverse collectability are present.

A summary of our net receivables by type is as follows:

We continuously evaluate the payment history and financial strength of our operators and have historically established allowance reserves for straight-line rent adjustments for operators that do not meet our requirements. We consider factors such as payment history and the operator’s financial condition as well as current and future anticipated operating trends when evaluating whether to establish allowance reserves.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, as a substantial portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which makes certain changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model, including changes to (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected. Upon adoption, we will apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis and adjust the balance sheet of each individual period presented to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – PROPERTIES AND INVESTMENTS

In the ordinary course of our business activities, we periodically evaluate investment opportunities and extend credit to customers. We also regularly engage in lease and/or loan extensions and modifications. Additionally, we actively monitor and manage our investment portfolio with the objectives of improving credit quality and increasing investment returns. In connection with our portfolio management, we may engage in various collection and foreclosure activities.

Leased Property

Our leased real estate properties, represented by 775 SNFs, 81 assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), 16 specialty facilities and one medical office building at June 30, 2015, are leased under provisions of single or master leases with initial terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, plus renewal options. Substantially all of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of three methods depending on specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally 2.5%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (i.e., such as increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years. Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.

Acquisition of Care Homes in the United Kingdom in Q2 2015

On May 1, 2015, we closed on a purchase/leaseback transaction (the “Care Homes Transaction”) for 23 care homes located in the United Kingdom and operated by Healthcare Homes Holding Limited (“Healthcare Homes”). As part of the transaction, we acquired title to the 23 care homes with 1,018 registered beds and leased them back to Healthcare Homes pursuant to a 12-year master lease agreement with an initial annual cash yield of 7%, and annual escalators of 2.5%. The care homes, comparable to US ALFs, are located throughout the East Anglia region (north of London) of the United Kingdom. Healthcare Homes is headquartered in Colchester (Essex County), England. We recorded approximately $193.8 million of assets consisting of land ($20.7 million), building and site improvements ($152.1 million), furniture and fixtures ($5.3 million) and goodwill ($15.7 million). The Company’s estimated fair values of the care homes’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition are determined based on certain valuations and analyses that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as detailed above, are subject to adjustment once the analyses are completed.

In 2015, the Company has incurred approximately $3.2 million in acquisition related costs associated with the Care Homes Transaction.

Aviv Merger in Q2 2015

On April 1, 2015, the Company closed the Aviv Merger, which was structured as a stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Aviv common stock was converted into 0.90 of a share of Omega common stock. In connection with the Aviv Merger, Omega issued approximately 43.7 million shares of common stock to former Aviv stockholders and holders of certain vested equity incentive awards of Aviv. As a result of the Aviv Merger, Omega acquired 342 facilities, two facilities subject to direct financing leases, one medical office building and three mortgages. The facilities are located in 31 states and are operated by 38 third-party operators. Omega also assumed certain outstanding equity awards and other debt and liabilities. Based on the closing price of Omega’s common stock on April, 1, 2015, we estimate the fair value of the consideration exchanged or assumed to be approximately $3.8 billion. The Company’s estimated fair values of Aviv’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Aviv Merger date are determined based on certain valuations and analyses that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as detailed below, are subject to adjustment once the analyses are completed.

The following table highlights the preliminary allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on April 1, 2015:

$6.8 Million New Investment in Q1 2015

On January 28, 2015, we purchased one SNF from an unrelated third party for approximately $6.3 million in cash and leased it to an existing operator. The purchase and sale agreement includes a provision that requires us to make an additional payment of $0.5 million to the seller if certain financial metrics of the facility are achieved. We recorded the potential $0.5 million payment as part of the purchase price. The 93 bed SNF, located in Texas, was added to the operator’s existing master lease with an initial annual cash yield of 9.5%. We recorded approximately $6.8 million consisting of land ($0.1 million), building and site improvements ($6.1 million), and furniture and fixtures ($0.6 million). We have not recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Asset Sales, Impairments and Other

In the first quarter of 2015, we initiated plans to construct a new single facility with an existing operator that would consolidate and replace three existing facilities. As a result, we recorded a total of $6.0 million in impairment charges related to three Florida SNFs to reduce their net book values to their estimated sales price. During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded an impairment of $6.9 million for a facility in Tennessee that is expected to be closed in the third quarter. To estimate the fair value of the facilities, we utilized a market approach and Level 3 inputs.

In the second quarter of 2015, we sold four facilities for total cash proceeds of $26.6 million, generating a gain of approximately $8.8 million. Two of the facilities sold were the result of lessees exercising their purchase option.

New Ark Investment Inc.

On November 27, 2013, we closed an aggregate $529 million purchase/leaseback transaction in connection with the acquisition of Ark Holding Company, Inc. (“Ark Holding”) by 4 West Holdings Inc. At closing, we acquired 55 SNFs and 1 ALF operated by Ark Holding and leased the facilities back to Ark Holding, now known as New Ark Investment Inc. (“New Ark”), pursuant to four 50-year master leases with rental payments yielding 10.6% per annum over the term of the leases. The purchase/leaseback transaction is being accounted for as a direct financing lease.

The lease agreements allow the tenant the right to purchase the facilities for a bargain purchase price plus closing costs at the end of the lease term. In addition, commencing in the 41st year of each lease, the tenant will have the right to prepay the remainder of its obligations thereunder for an amount equal to the sum of the unamortized portion of the original aggregate $529 million investment plus the net present value of the remaining payments under the lease and closing costs. In the event the tenant exercises either of these options, we have the right to purchase the properties for fair market value at the time.

The 56 facilities represent 5,623 licensed beds located in 12 states, predominantly in the southeastern United States. The 56 facilities are separated by region and divided amongst four cross-defaulted master leases. The four regions include the Southeast (39 facilities), the Northwest (7 facilities), Texas (9 facilities) and Indiana (1 facility).

Additionally, in 2014 we purchased 3 facilities and subsequently leased them to New Ark under a twelve-year master lease expiring in 2026. These leases are being accounted for as operating leases.

Aviv Merger

On April 1, 2015, the Company acquired two additional direct financing leases as a result of the Aviv Merger.

As of June 30, 2015, the following minimum rents are due under our direct financing leases for the next five years (in thousands):

Year 1	Year 2	Year 3	Year 4	Year 5
$49,345	$49,623	$50,529	$51,782	$53,060

NOTE 4 - MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

As of June 30, 2015, mortgage notes receivable relate to 23 fixed-rate mortgages on 58 long-term care facilities. The mortgage notes are secured by first mortgage liens on the borrowers’ underlying real estate and personal property. The mortgage notes receivable relate to facilities located in eight states, operated by eight independent healthcare operating companies. We monitor compliance with mortgages and when necessary have initiated collection, foreclosure and other proceedings with respect to certain outstanding loans.

Mortgage interest income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related mortgage notes, using the effective yield method. Allowances are provided against earned revenues from mortgage interest when collection of amounts due becomes questionable or when negotiations for restructurings of troubled operators lead to lower expectations regarding ultimate collection. When collection is uncertain, mortgage interest income on impaired mortgage loans is recognized as received after taking into account application of security deposits.

The outstanding principal amounts of mortgage notes receivable, net of allowances, were as follows:

NOTE 10 – TAXES

Since our inception, we have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). So long as we qualify as a REIT under the Code, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the REIT taxable income that we distribute to stockholders, subject to certain exceptions. On a quarterly and annual basis, we test our compliance within the REIT taxation rules to ensure that we are in compliance with the REIT rules. We review our distributions and projected distributions each year to ensure we have met and will meet the annual REIT distribution requirements. In 2014 and 2013, we distributed dividends in excess of our taxable income. In 2015, we expect to distribute dividends in excess of our taxable income.

As a result of our UPREIT Conversion, our Company and its subsidiaries may be subject to income or franchise taxes in certain states and municipalities. Also, as a result of our UPREIT Conversion, we created five subsidiary REITs that will be subject to all of the REIT qualification rules set forth in the Code.

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We have also elected for four of our subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. Three of our TRSs are subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the fourth is subject to foreign income taxes. As of June 30, 2015, one of our TRSs had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $1.0 million. The loss carry-forward is fully reserved with a valuation allowance as of June 30, 2015.

In connection with our acquisitions of Care Homes in May 2015, we acquired 10 legal entities consisting of 23 facilities. The tax basis in these legal entities acquired for United Kingdom taxes was approximately $82 million less than the purchase price. We recorded a preliminary initial deferred tax liability associated with the temporary tax basis difference of approximately $16 million.

During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded state and local income tax provision of approximately $0.4 million and provision for foreign income taxes of approximately $0.2 million.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are subject to forfeiture if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. Prior to vesting, ownership of the shares/units cannot be transferred. The restricted stock has the same dividend and voting rights as our common stock. RSUs accrue dividend equivalents but have no voting rights. Restricted stock and RSUs are valued at the price of our common stock on the date of grant. We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their vesting period.

The RSUs assumed from Aviv as part of the Aviv Merger were valued at the closing price of our stock on the date of the transaction. The portion of the vesting accruing prior to the acquisition was recorded as part of the purchase price consideration. The expense associated with the vesting that will occur after the date of the transaction will be recorded as stock compensation expense ratably over the remaining life of the RSUs.

We awarded the following RSUs to employees or assumed them in the Aviv Merger.

Grant Assumption Date	RSUs Granted
12 /31/2013 RSUs		213,741
1 /1/2014 RSUs		122,137

December 31, 2013 RSUs - These RSUs vest ratably over the three year period ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. In December 2014, 71,247 shares of restricted stock vested and were distributed to employees.

January 1, 2014 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2016 subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

March 31, 2015 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2017 subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

April 1, 2015 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2017 subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

Performance Restricted Stock Units and LTIP Units

Performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and LTIP Units are subject to forfeiture if the performance requirements are not achieved or if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. The PRSUs awarded in January 2011, January 2013, December 2013, January 2014, and the LTIP Units awarded in March 2015 and April 2015 have varying degrees of performance requirements to achieve vesting, and each PRSU and LTIP Units award represents the right to a variable number of shares of common stock or partnership units (each LTIP Unit once earned is convertible into one Omega OP Unit in Omega OP, subject to certain conditions). The vesting requirements are based on either the (i) total shareholders return (“TSR”) of Omega or (ii) Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the MSCI U.S. REIT Index (“Relative TSR”). We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their service period.

Prior to vesting and the distribution of shares, ownership of the PRSUs cannot be transferred. The dividends on the PRSUs accumulate and if vested are paid when the shares are distributed to the employee. While each LTIP Unit is unearned, the employee receives a partnership distribution equal to 10% of the quarterly approved regular periodic distributions per Omega OP Unit. The remaining partnership distributions (which in the case of normal periodic distributions is equal to the total approved quarterly dividend on Omega’s common stock) on the LTIP Units accumulate, and if the LTIP Units are earned, the accumulated distributions are paid.

The number of shares or units earned under the TSR PRSUs or LTIP Units depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR over the indicated performance period. We awarded the following TSR PRSUs and LTIP Units to employees:

HUD Mortgage Loans Payoff

On March 31, 2015, we paid approximately $154.3 million to retire 21 mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), totaling approximately $146.9 million. 18 loans had an all-in blended interest rate of 5.35% per annum with maturities between January 2040 and January 2045 and three loans had an all-in blended interest rate of 5.23% per annum with maturities between February 2040 and February 2045. The payoff resulted in a $2.3 million gain on the extinguishment of the debt due to the write-off of the $9.7 million unamortized debt premium recorded at the time of acquisition offset by a prepayment fee of approximately $7.4 million.

On April 30, 2015, we paid approximately $9.1 million to retire one mortgage loan guaranteed by HUD. The loan was assumed as part of an acquisition in a prior year, and had an interest rate of 4.35% per annum with maturity on March 1, 2041. The payoff resulted in a $1.0 million gain on the extinguishment of the debt due to the write-off of the $1.5 million of fair market value adjustment recorded at the time of acquisition offset by a prepayment fee of approximately $0.5 million.

General Electric Term Loan

On April 1, 2015, as a result of the Aviv Merger, the Company assumed a $180 million secured term loan with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”). On each payment date, the Company pays interest only in arrears on any outstanding principal balance until February 1, 2017 when principal and interest will be paid in arrears based on a thirty year amortization schedule. The interest rate is based on LIBOR, with a floor of 50 basis points, plus a margin of 350 basis points. The interest rate at June 30, 2015 was 4.00%. The initial term expires in December 2019 with the full balance of the loan due at that time.

Bank Credit Facilities

On June 27, 2014, we entered into a $1.2 billion unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility” and, collectively, the “2014 Credit Facilities”).

On April 1, 2015, Omega entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment to Omega Credit Agreement”) which amended the 2014 Credit Facilities. Under the First Amendment to Omega Credit Agreement, Omega (i) increased the aggregate revolving commitment amount under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1 billion to $1.25 billion and (ii) obtained a $200 million senior unsecured incremental term loan facility (the “Acquisition Term Loan Facility”).

The Revolving Credit Facility is priced at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage (beginning at 130 basis points, with a range of 92.5 to 170 basis points) based on our ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch Ratings, plus a facility fee based on the same ratings (initially 25 basis points, with a range of 12.5 to 30 basis points). The Revolving Credit Facility is used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2015, we had a total of $351.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 27, 2018, subject to a one-time option by us to extend such maturity date by one year.

The Term Loan Facility is priced at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage (beginning at 150 basis points, with a range of 100 to 195 basis points) based on our ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch Ratings. At June 30, 2015, we had a total of $200.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility matures on June 27, 2019.

The Acquisition Term Loan Facility is priced at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage (beginning at 150 basis points, with a range of 100 to 195 basis points) based on our ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch Ratings. At June 30, 2015, we had a total of $200.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan Facility. The Acquisition Term Loan Facility matures on June 27, 2017, subject to Omega’s option to extend the maturity date of the Acquisition Term Loan Facility twice, the first extension until June 27, 2018 and the second extension until June 27, 2019.

Omega OP Term Loan Facility

On April 1, 2015, Omega OP entered into a $100 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Omega OP Term Loan Facility”). The Omega OP Term Loan Facility is priced at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage (beginning at 150 basis points, with a range of 100 to 195 basis points) based on our ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch Ratings. The Omega OP Term Loan Facility matures on June 27, 2017, subject to Omega OP’s option to extend such maturity date twice, the first extension until June 27, 2018 and the second extension until June 27, 2019. At June 30, 2015, we had a total of $100.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Omega OP Term Loan Facility.

$200 Million 7.5% Senior Notes due 2020 Redemption

On March 13, 2015, Omega redeemed all of its outstanding 7.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) at a redemption price of approximately $208.7 million, consisting of 103.750% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such notes to, but not including, the date of redemption.

In connection with the redemption, during the first quarter of 2015, we recorded approximately $11.7 million redemption related costs and write-offs, including $7.5 million in prepayment fees for early redemption and $4.2 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing costs and discount. The consideration for the redemption of the 2020 Notes was funded from the net proceeds of the 10.925 million share common stock offering. See Note 9 Dividends and Equity for additional details.

Issuance of $700 Million of Senior Notes

On March 18, 2015, we sold $700 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.50% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). The 2027 Notes were sold at an issue price of 98.546% of their face value before the initial purchasers’ discount. The Company’s total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and other offering expenses, were approximately $683 million. The net proceeds of the offering were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of Aviv indebtedness on April 1, 2015 in connection with the Aviv Merger, and repayment of future maturities on Omega’s outstanding debt.

The 2027 Notes mature on April 1, 2027. The 2027 Notes bear an interest rate of 4.50% per annum, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness for money borrowed by Omega in a principal amount at least equal to $50 million (including as of the date hereof our existing senior notes and the facilities under our credit agreement). The 2027 Notes are Omega’s unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Omega’s existing and future senior debt and is senior in right of payment to all of Omega’s existing and future subordinated debt. Omega may redeem some or all of the 2027 Notes prior to January 1, 2027 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium calculated by reference to U.S. treasuries with a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2027 Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. The 2027 Notes will be redeemable at any time on or after January 1, 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

$250 Million of Senior Notes Exchange Offer

On June 17, 2015, we commenced an offer to exchange $250 million of our 4.50% Senior Notes due 2025 that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Exchange Notes”) for $250 million of our outstanding 4.50% Senior Notes due 2025, which were issued on September 11, 2014 in a private placement (the “Initial Notes”). The exchange offer was conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the prospectus dated June 17, 2015, and the related letter of transmittal.

All of the $250 million aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, and were exchanged for Exchange Notes as of July 17, 2015, pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer. The Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the provisions of the Initial Notes relating to transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest do not apply to the Exchange Notes.

Other Debt Repayments

In connection with the Aviv Merger on April 1, 2015, the Company assumed notes payable with a face amount of $650.0 million and a revolving credit facility with an outstanding balance of $525.0 million. In connection with the Aviv Merger, the Company repaid this debt assumed from Aviv on April 1, 2015. Due to the contractual requirements for early repayments; the Company paid approximately $705.6 million for the $650.0 million notes assumed. The amount repaid in connection with the revolving credit facility was $525.0 million.

Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument (see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014). The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

•

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (i.e., less than 90 days) (Level 1).

•

Direct financing leases: The fair value of the investments in direct financing leases are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar leases to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3).

•

Mortgage notes receivable: The fair value of the mortgage notes receivables are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3).

•

Other investments: Other investments are primarily comprised of notes receivable. The fair values of notes receivable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3).

•

Revolving line of credit and term loans: The fair value of our borrowings under variable rate agreements are estimated using an expected present value technique based on expected cash flows discounted using the current market rates (Level 3).

•

Senior notes and subordinated debt: The fair value of our borrowings under fixed rate agreements are estimated based on open market trading activity provided by a third party (Level 2).

•

HUD debt: The fair value of our borrowings under HUD debt agreements are estimated based on quotes obtained by HUD debt brokers (Level 2).

NOTE 14 – LITIGATION

We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. While any legal proceeding or claim has an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of each lawsuit, claim or legal proceeding that is pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

As previously reported, four putative class actions were filed by purported stockholders of Aviv against Aviv, its directors, the Company and Merger Sub challenging the Aviv Merger and alleging that the disclosures in the Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Aviv Merger were inadequate to allow Aviv shareholders to make an informed decision whether to approve the Aviv Merger. On January 28, 2015, the court entered a stipulated consolidation order consolidating the four lawsuits into a single proceeding and on March 20, 2015, the court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint. The time period for taking an appeal of the grant of the motions to dismiss has now expired and, as a result, we believe these matters are now concluded.

In addition to these lawsuits, Omega is aware of a derivative demand letter that was delivered to the Aviv board of directors by Gary Danley (“Danley”), who subsequently filed one of the aforementioned lawsuits. The allegations in the demand letter are substantially similar to the allegations in Danley’s complaint.

Omega believes that these actions have no merit and intends to defend vigorously against any further attempts to prosecute these claims.

NOTE 15 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method, which is net income divided by the total weighted-average number of common outstanding shares plus the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares during the respective period. Dilutive common shares reflect the assumed issuance of additional common shares pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including stock options, restricted stock and performance restricted stock units and the assumed issuance of additional shares related to Omega OP Units held by outside investors.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 16 – CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2015, we had outstanding: (i) $575 million 6.75% Senior Notes due 2022, (ii) $400 million 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024, (iii) $400 million 4.95% Senior Notes due 2024, (iv) $250 million 4.5% Senior Notes due 2025 and (v) $700 million 4.5% Senior Notes due 2027 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of our 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantee other indebtedness of Omega or any of the subsidiary guarantors. All of our subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Notes also guarantee amounts outstanding under the 2014 Credit Facilities. Any subsidiary that we properly designate as an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the indentures governing the high-yield Senior Notes due 2022 and 2024 will not provide guarantees of the Senior Notes or the First Amendment to Omega Credit Agreement.

The following summarized condensed consolidating financial information segregates the financial information of the non-guarantor subsidiaries (which is comprised of 22 “unrestricted subsidiaries”) from the financial information of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and the subsidiary guarantors under the Senior Notes. The results and financial position of acquired entities are included from the dates of their respective acquisitions.

As of June 30, 2015, the 22 subsidiaries were required by relevant documentation to be added as subsidiary guarantors, and are therefore presented as subsidiary guarantors in the following table. Such subsidiaries were formally joined as subsidiary guarantors under the relevant documentation, effective August 2015.

Overview

Omega was formed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. In April 2015, Aviv REIT Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Aviv”), merged (the “Aviv Merger”) with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Omega, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 30, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Aviv, OHI Healthcare Properties Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Omega (“Merger Sub”), OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Omega OP”), and Aviv Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Aviv OP”).

Our portfolio of investments at June 30, 2015, consisted of 936 healthcare facilities (including five facilities that are closed/held for sale), located in 41 states and operated by 84 third-party operators. Our gross investment in these facilities totaled approximately $7.8 billion at June 30, 2015, with 99% of our real estate investments related to long-term healthcare facilities. Our portfolio is made up of: (i) 775 SNFs, (ii) 81 assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), (iii) 16 specialty facilities, (iv) one medical office building, (v) fixed rate mortgages on 56 SNFs and two ALFs and (vi) five SNFs that are closed/held for sale. At June 30, 2015, we also held other investments of approximately $83.0 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we do not have any material properties or operators with facilities that are not materially occupied.

Taxation

During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded state and local income tax provision of approximately $0.4 million and provision for foreign income taxes of approximately $0.2 million.

Government Regulation and Reimbursement

The health care industry is heavily regulated. Our operators are subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local healthcare laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent and substantial changes resulting from the adoption of new legislation, rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. The ultimate timing or effect of these changes, which may be applied retroactively, cannot be predicted. Changes in laws and regulations impacting our operators, in addition to regulatory non-compliance by our operators, can have a significant effect on the operations and financial condition of our operators, which in turn may adversely impact us. See “Item 1A – Risk Factors.” to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The following is a discussion of certain laws and regulations generally applicable to our operators, and in certain cases, to us.

Healthcare Reform. A substantial amount of rules and regulations have been issued under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively referred to as the “Healthcare Reform Law”). We expect additional rules, regulations and interpretations under the Healthcare Reform Law that may materially affect our operators’ financial condition and operations. For example, although the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the Healthcare Reform Law (other than the requirement that states expand Medicaid beginning in 2014), the Healthcare Reform Law and the implementation thereof continue to receive challenge and scrutiny from Congress, state attorneys general and legislators, and private individuals and organizations. In addition, certain measures recently taken under the authority of, or in connection with, the Healthcare Reform Law may lead to additional modification and/or clarification in the future, including the following:

• On January 3, 2013, a new federal Commission on Long-Term Care was established and tasked with developing a plan for the establishment, implementation and financing of a high-quality system to provide long-term care services. In September 2013, the Commission released a report with 38 proposals for legislative and administrative actions to promote the establishment and financing of a long-term care services system that will ensure the availability of such services to those who need them. The Commission recommended creating a national advisory committee and convening a 2015 White House Conference on aging which is now holding regional forums and publishing policy briefs.

• The Healthcare Reform Law requires private health insurers that sell policies to individuals and small businesses to provide, starting in 2014, a set of “essential health benefits” in ten categories, including prescription drugs, rehabilitative and habilitative services, and chronic disease management. As required under the law, each state has defined the essential health benefits required in that state.

• The Healthcare Reform Law requires SNFs to implement a compliance and ethics program that is effective in preventing and detecting criminal, civil and administrative violations and in promoting quality of care. The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) has not yet issued the proposed regulations to implement this law that were due in March 2012.

Given the complexity of the Healthcare Reform Law and the substantial requirements for regulation thereunder, the impact of the Healthcare Reform Law on our operators or their ability to meet their obligations to us cannot be predicted. The Healthcare Reform Law could result in decreases in payments to our operators or otherwise adversely affect the financial condition of our operators, thereby negatively impacting our financial condition. Our operators may not be successful in modifying their operations to lessen the impact of any increased costs or other adverse effects resulting from changes in governmental programs, private insurance and/or employee welfare benefit plans. The impact of the Healthcare Reform Law on each of our operators will vary depending on payor mix, resident conditions and a variety of other factors. In addition to the provisions relating to reimbursement, other provisions of the Healthcare Reform Law may impact our operators as employers (e.g., requirements related to providing health insurance for employees). We anticipate that many of the provisions in the Healthcare Reform Law may be subject to further clarification and modification during the rule making process.

Reimbursement Generally. A significant portion of our operators’ revenue is derived from governmentally-funded reimbursement programs, consisting primarily of Medicare and Medicaid. In recent years, the federal government and many state governments have focused on reducing expenditures under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, resulting in significant cost-cutting at both the federal and state levels. These cost-cutting measures, together with the implementation of changes in reimbursement rates such as those described below, could result in a significant reduction of reimbursement rates to our operators under both the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

On April 1, 2014, President Obama signed the “Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014” which calls for HHS to develop a value based purchasing program for SNFs aimed at lowering readmission rates. Beginning in 2018, 2% of SNFs’ Medicare payments could be withheld and about 70% of those dollars would be distributed to SNFs with reduced hospital readmissions.

A proposed rule was issued in April 2015 by the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (“CMS”) outlining the FY 2016 Medicare payment rates for SNFs. The rule projects that aggregate payments to SNFs will increase by $500 million, or 1.4%, from payments in FY 2015. This estimated increase is attributable to a 2.6% market basket increase, reduced by a 0.6% forecast error adjustment and further reduced by 0.6% in accordance with the multifactor productivity adjustment required by law. The proposed rule also included policies that advance setting measurable goals and timelines for paying SNFs based on the quality rather than the quantity of care to patients. Comments on this proposed rule were accepted until June 19, 2015.

We currently believe that our operator coverage ratios are adequate and that our operators can absorb moderate reimbursement rate reductions and still meet their obligations to us. However, significant limits on the scopes of services reimbursed and/or reductions of reimbursement rates could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ results of operations and financial condition, which could adversely affect our operators’ ability to meet their obligations to us.

Medicaid. State budgetary concerns, coupled with the implementation of rules under the Healthcare Reform Law, may result in significant changes in healthcare spending at the state level. Many states are currently focusing on the reduction of expenditures under their state Medicaid programs, which may result in a reduction in reimbursement rates for our operators. The need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in Medicaid due to unemployment and declines in family incomes. Since our operators’ profit margins on Medicaid patients are generally relatively low, more than modest reductions in Medicaid reimbursement or an increase in the number of Medicaid patients could adversely affect our operators’ results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could negatively impact us.

The Healthcare Reform Law provided for Medicaid coverage to be expanded to all individuals under age 65 with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level, beginning January 1, 2014. The federal government will pay the entire cost for Medicaid coverage for newly eligible beneficiaries for 3 years (2014 through 2016). In 2017, the federal share declines to 95%; in 2018, to 94%; in 2019, to 93%; and in 2020 and subsequent years, to 90%. Pursuant to the law, states may delay Medicaid expansion after 2014, but the federal payment rates will be less.

However, on June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that states could not be required to expand Medicaid or risk losing federal funding of their existing Medicaid programs. Over half of the states have expanded or are expanding Medicaid coverage as contemplated by the Healthcare Reform Law, with many of the remaining states involved in a variety of legislative proposals or discussions. HHS has stated that it will consider a limited number of premium assistance demonstration programs from states that want to privatize Medicaid expansion. States must provide a choice between at least two qualified health plans that offer very similar benefits as those required by the health insurance exchanges. Arkansas became the first state to obtain federal approval to use Medicaid funding to purchase private insurance for low-income residents. Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania have also secured waivers.

Medicare. The CMS estimates that aggregate Medicare payments to SNFs will increase by $750 million, or 2.0%, for the federal fiscal year that begins October 1, 2014 relative to payments in the prior federal fiscal year. This estimated increase is attributable to a 2.5% market based increase, reduced by a 0.5% multifactor productivity adjustment required by law.

Provisions contained in the American Taxpayer Relief Act (“ATRA”) of 2012, known colloquially as the fiscal cliff deal, are designed to reduce Medicare payments to SNFs by an estimated $600 million during 2012 to 2022. It also reduces payments for multiple procedures or therapies provided on the same day, which will result in approximately $1.8 billion savings to Medicare over the next 10 years, which will impact SNFs as well. Under ATRA, sequestration cuts impacting domestic and defense spending became effective March 1, 2013. Although Medicaid is exempted from the sequestration cuts, they included a 2% cut in payments to Medicare providers and suppliers, which amounted to an estimated $11.3 billion in cuts in federal fiscal year 2013. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 provides for $63 billion in sequestration relief in federal fiscal years 2014 and 2015 which will be split evenly between defense and nondefense programs. To date, Medicare has not been impacted.

The “Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015” extended the Medicare therapy cap exceptions process through December 31, 2017. The statutory Medicare Part B outpatient cap for occupational therapy is $1,940 for 2015, and the combined cap for physical therapy and speech therapy is also $1,940 for 2015. These caps do not apply to therapy services covered under Medicare Part A for SNFs, although the caps apply in most other instances involving patients in SNFs or long-term care facilities who receive therapy services covered under Medicare Part B. The exception process permits medically necessary therapy services beyond the cap limits. Expiration of the therapy cap exceptions process in the future could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ financial condition and operations, which could adversely impact their ability to meet their obligations to us.

Quality of Care Initiatives. The CMS has implemented a number of initiatives focused on the quality of care provided by nursing homes that could affect our operators. For instance, in December 2008, the CMS released quality ratings for all of the nursing homes that participate in Medicare or Medicaid under its “Five Star Quality Rating System.” Facility rankings, ranging from five stars (“much above average”) to one star (“much below average”) are updated on a monthly basis. SNFs are required to provide information for the CMS Nursing Home Compare website regarding staffing and quality measures. Based on this data and the results of state health inspections, SNFs are then rated based on the five-star rating system. Beginning in 2015, CMS is making changes to the rating system including: (1) revising scoring methodology by which quality measure ratings are calculated for SNFs; (2) increasing the number and type of quality measures that are not solely based on self-reported data and (3) adding critical measures to staffing such as turnover and retention. It is possible that this or any other ranking system could lead to future reimbursement policies that reward or penalize facilities on the basis of the reported quality of care parameters.

CMS has incorporated hospital readmissions review into the Quality Indicators Survey. Under Medicare’s Inpatient Prospective Payment System, CMS began adjusting payments to hospitals for excessive readmissions of patients for heart attacks, heart failure and pneumonia during fiscal years beginning on and after October 1, 2012. Long term care facilities will be under increased scrutiny to prevent residents from being readmitted to hospitals for these conditions in particular, and have an opportunity to demonstrate their quality of care by reducing their hospital readmission rates. It is anticipated that hospital readmissions will be a consideration in the future in the CMS five-star rating system.

Office of the Inspector General Activities. The Office of Inspector General’s (the “OIG”) Work Plan for government fiscal year 2015, which describes projects that the OIG plans to address during the fiscal year, includes a number of projects related to nursing homes. Reviews of Medicare Part A and Part B payments and services for SNFs will focus on the following: (1) (new) monitor Part B billings for abuse during non-Part A stays; (2) billing patterns for Part B services; (3) state agency verification of deficiency corrections; (4) background checks for employees; and (5) hospitalization of residents for manageable and preventable conditions. In its Mid-Year Update, the OIG indicated that its priorities are billings for therapy, verification of correction plans for deficiencies and background checks. The OIG will also continue its efforts in addressing fraud and abuse. While we cannot predict the results of the OIG’s activities, the projects could result in further scrutiny and/or oversight of nursing homes.

The OIG has identified one of its top management and performance challenges as using enforcement actions against SNFs that render substandard care. State Medicaid Fraud Units, which receive oversight and funding from the OIG are devoting substantial resources to investigating and prosecuting abuse and neglect in Medicaid-funded SNFs. To date, the OIG has placed almost 40 nursing home companies (greater than 750 SNFs) under corporate integrity agreements that include quality-monitoring provisions.

Fraud and Abuse. There are various federal and state civil and criminal laws and regulations governing a wide array of healthcare provider referrals, relationships and arrangements, including laws and regulations prohibiting fraud by healthcare providers. Many of these complex laws raise issues that have not been clearly interpreted by the relevant governmental authorities and courts. In addition, federal and state governments are devoting increasing attention and resources to anti-fraud initiatives against healthcare providers.

The federal anti-kickback statute is a criminal statute that prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any remuneration in return for, to induce or to arrange for the referral of individuals for any item or service payable by a federal or state healthcare program. There is also a civil analogue. States also have enacted similar statutes covering Medicaid payments, and some states have broader statutes. Some enforcement efforts have targeted relationships between SNFs and ancillary providers, relationships between SNFs and referral sources for SNFs and relationships between SNFs and facilities for which the SNFs serve as referral sources. The federal self-referral law, commonly known as the “Stark Law,” is a civil statute that prohibits a physician from making referrals to an entity for “designated health services” if the physician has a financial relationship with the entity. Some of the services provided in SNFs are classified as designated health services. There are also criminal provisions that prohibit filing false claims or making false statements to receive payment or certification under Medicare and Medicaid, as well as failing to refund overpayments or improper payments. Violation of the anti-kickback statute or Stark Law may form the basis for a federal False Claims Act (“FCA”) violation. With increased frequency, the federal government is relying on a “worthless services” theory of liability in FCA cases. The allegations are that the SNF charged the government for something of value that it knowingly didn’t provide.

In addition, the federal False Claims Act allows a private individual with knowledge of fraud to bring a claim on behalf of the federal government and earn a percentage of the federal government’s recovery. Because of these incentives, these so-called “whistleblower” suits have become more frequent. The violation of any of these laws or regulations by an operator may result in the imposition of fines or other penalties, including exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and all other federal and state healthcare programs.

Privacy. Our operators are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the confidentiality and security of patient health information, including the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and the corresponding regulations promulgated thereunder (“HIPAA”). HHS has been conducting audits of covered entities to evaluate compliance with HIPAA, and it will continue its audit program in 2015 which will also include business associates and will focus on security risk assessments.

Various states have similar laws and regulations that govern the maintenance and safeguarding of patient records, charts and other information generated in connection with the provision of professional medical services. These laws and regulations require our operators to expend the requisite resources to secure protected health information, including the funding of costs associated with technology upgrades. Operators found in violation of HIPAA or any other privacy law or regulation may face large penalties. In addition, compliance with an operator’s notification requirements in the event of a breach of unsecured protected health information could cause reputational harm to an operator’s business.

Licensing and Certification. Our operators and facilities are subject to various federal, state and local licensing and certification laws and regulations, including laws and regulations under Medicare and Medicaid requiring operators of SNFs and ALFs to comply with extensive standards governing operations. Governmental agencies administering these laws and regulations regularly inspect our operators’ facilities and investigate complaints. Our operators and their managers receive notices of observed violations and deficiencies from time to time, and sanctions have been imposed from time to time on facilities operated by them.

Other Laws and Regulations. Additional federal, state and local laws and regulations affect how our operators conduct their operations, including laws and regulations protecting consumers against deceptive practices and otherwise generally affecting our operators’ management of their property and equipment and the conduct of their operations (including laws and regulations involving fire, health and safety; quality of services, including care and food service; residents’ rights, including abuse and neglect laws; and the health standards set by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration).

General and Professional Liability. Although arbitration agreements have been effective in limiting general and professional liabilities for long term care providers, there have been national efforts to outlaw the use of pre-dispute arbitration agreements in long term care settings. At least one state is allowing residents to sue a SNF for failing to comply with staffing quality measures. All of these factors have a potential impact on liability costs of our operators, which could adversely affect our operators’ ability to meet their obligations to us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and a summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to the consolidated financial statements. We have described our most critical accounting policies in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Goodwill

In addition, during the second quarter of 2015, the Company adopted a critical accounting policy for Goodwill. Goodwill represents a purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the cost associated with expanding our portfolio. Goodwill is not amortized. We assess goodwill for potential impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the entity. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying value, then we perform a two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment and measure the amount of impairment we will recognize, if any. We do not expect any of the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Results of Operations

The following is our discussion of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity and capital resources, which should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015, totaled $197.7 million, an increase of $75.9 million over the same period in 2014. The $75.9 million increase was primarily the result of: (i) $57.8 million rental income associated with the Aviv Merger; (ii) $2.4 million rental income related to the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) acquisition and (iii) $7.6 million increase in mortgage interest income primarily due to (a) the $415 million new multiple facility mortgage we entered into with an existing operator in the second quarter of 2014 and (b) the new Aviv mortgages acquired as part of the Aviv Merger.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, totaled $123.5 million, an increase of approximately $81.5 million over the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to: (i) a $47.0 million increase in acquisition costs due to the Aviv Merger and U.K. acquisition, (ii) $27.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense also as a result of Aviv Merger and U.K. acquisition, (iii) a $5.4 million increase in provision for impairments on real estate properties and (iv) a $4.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses, offset by (i) $2.8 million decrease in provision for uncollectible receivables related to (a) a 2014 write-off of an effective yield interest receivable related to the refinancing (termination) of a mortgage receivable and (b) a 2014 write-off of a straight-line receivable related to the transition of two facilities from an existing operator to a new operator.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, total other expenses were $39.1 million, an increase of approximately $6.0 million over the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $8.8 million in interest expense due to an increase in borrowings outstanding to fund new investments since January 2014, including the April 1, 2015 Aviv Merger and May 1, 2015 U.K. acquisition, offset by a decrease of $3.7 million in interest refinancing costs. In the second quarter of 2015, we paid approximately $9.1 million to retire one mortgage loan guaranteed by HUD. The payoff resulted in a $1.0 million gain on the extinguishment of the debt due to the write-off of the $1.5 million of fair market value adjustment recorded at the time of acquisition offset by a prepayment fee of approximately $0.5 million. In 2014, we wrote-off approximately $2.6 million deferred financing costs associated with the termination of the Company’s previous credit facilities.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015, totaled $331.1 million, an increase of $88.3 million over the same period in 2014. The $88.3 million increase was primarily the result of: (i) $57.8 million rental income associated with Aviv Merger; (ii) $2.4 million rental income related to the U.K. acquisition and additional $11.7 million rental income associated with acquisitions and lease amendments/extensions made throughout 2014 and in the first quarter of 2015 and (iii) $14.9 million increase in mortgage interest income primarily due to the $415 million new multiple facility mortgage we entered into with an existing operator in the second quarter of 2014.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015, totaled $170.9 million, an increase of approximately $90.9 million over the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to: (i) a $51.8 million increase in acquisition costs due to the Aviv Merger and U.K. acquisition, (ii) a $27.0 million increase in depreciation due to the Aviv Merger and U.K. acquisition, (iii) an $11.3 million increase in provision for impairments on real estate properties and (iv) a $3.5 million increase in general and administrative expense as a result of the Aviv Merger.

Other Income (Expense)

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, total other expenses were $81.9 million, an increase of approximately $18.9 million over the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $14.1 million in interest expense due to an increase in borrowings outstanding to fund new investments since January 2014 including the April 1, 2015 Aviv Merger and May 1, 2015 U.K. acquisition and an increase of approximately $3.7 million in interest refinancing costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded $8.4 million of net interest refinancing related costs including: (i) $11.7 million in costs related to the early redemption of the 2020 Notes which consisted of: (a) prepayment penalties of approximately $7.5 million, (b) the write-off of deferred financing costs of $2.5 million and (c) the write-off of discount of $1.7 million, and a (ii) $7.9 million expense related to the prepayment fee for the payoff of the 22 HUD loans. These costs were offset by $11.2 million gain on the extinguishment of the debt due to the write-off of the fair market value adjustment recorded at the time of acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $4.7 million interest refinancing cost associated with: (i) $2.6 million write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the termination of our previous $700 million senior unsecured credit facility (the “2012 Credit Facilities”) and (ii) $2.0 million write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the termination of the 2013 term loan facility.

National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts Funds From Operations

Our funds from operations available to common stockholders (“NAREIT FFO”), for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was $100.7 million, compared to $79.7 million, for the same period in 2014. Our NAREIT FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $180.4 million, compared to $164.1 million for the same period in 2014.

We calculate and report NAREIT FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and, consequently, NAREIT FFO is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization and impairment on real estate assets. We believe that NAREIT FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The term NAREIT FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. NAREIT FFO herein is not necessarily comparable to NAREIT FFO of other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.

NAREIT FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We use NAREIT FFO as one of several criteria to measure operating performance of our business. We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairment on real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, NAREIT FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. We offer this measure to assist the users of our financial statements in evaluating our financial performance under GAAP, and NAREIT FFO should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

The following table presents our NAREIT FFO results for the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Portfolio and Recent Developments

Acquisition of Aviv by Merger

On April 1, 2015, the Company closed the Aviv Merger, which was structured as a stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Aviv common stock was converted into 0.90 of a share of Omega common stock. In connection with the Aviv Merger, Omega issued approximately 43.7 million shares of common stock to former Aviv stockholders and holders of certain vested equity incentive awards of Aviv. As a result of the Aviv Merger, Omega acquired 342 facilities, two facilities subject to direct financing leases, one medical office building and three mortgages. The facilities are located in 31 states and are operated by 38 third-party operators. Omega also assumed certain outstanding equity awards and other debt and liabilities. Based on the closing price of Omega’s common stock on April 1, 2015, we estimate the fair value of the consideration exchanged or assumed to be approximately $3.8 billion.

In 2015, the Company has incurred approximately $48.5 million in acquisition related costs associated with the Aviv Merger.

Acquisition of $178 Million of Care Homes in United Kingdom

On May 1, 2015, we closed on a $178 million purchase/leaseback transaction (the “Care Homes Transaction”) for 23 care homes located in the United Kingdom and operated by Healthcare Homes Holding Limited (“Healthcare Homes”). As part of the transaction, we acquired title to the 23 care homes with 1,018 registered beds and leased them back to Healthcare Homes pursuant to a 12-year master lease agreement with an initial annual cash yield of 7%, and annual escalators of 2.5%. The care homes, comparable to US ALFs, are located throughout the East Anglia region (north of London) of the United Kingdom. Healthcare Homes is headquartered in Colchester (Essex County), England. We recorded approximately $193.8 million consisting of land ($20.7 million), building and site improvements ($152.1 million), furniture and fixtures ($5.3 million) and goodwill ($15.7 million).

In 2015, the Company has incurred approximately $3.2 million in acquisition related costs associated with the Care Homes Transaction.

The consideration for the redemption of the 2020 Notes was funded from the net proceeds of the 10.925 million share common stock offering. See Note 9 Dividends and Equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Issuance of $700 Million of Senior Notes

The 2027 Notes mature on April 1, 2027. The 2027 Notes bear an interest rate of 4.50% per annum, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our existing and future 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness for money borrowed by Omega in a principal amount at least equal to $50 million (including as of the date hereof our existing senior notes and the facilities under our credit agreement). The 2027 Notes are Omega’s unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Omega’s existing and future senior debt and is senior in right of payment to all of Omega’s existing and future subordinated debt. Omega may redeem some or all of the 2027 Notes prior to January 1, 2027 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium calculated by reference to U.S. treasuries with a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2027 Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. The 2027 Notes will be redeemable at any time on or after January 1, 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

Other Debt Repayments

In connection with the Aviv Merger on April 1, 2015, we assumed notes payable with a face amount of $650.0 million and a revolving credit facility with an outstanding balance of $525.0 million.

Due to the contractual requirements for early repayments; the Company paid approximately $705.6 million for the $650.0 million notes assumed. The amount repaid in connection with the revolving credit facility was $525.0 million.

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan

Dividends

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to (A) the sum of (i) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of certain items of non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of any built-in gain asset during a recognition period, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the disposition of such asset. Such 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 such year and paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions are required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than 100% of our “REIT taxable income” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates.

For the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2015, we declared and paid total dividends of $33.0 million and declared and paid $151.6 million to our common stockholders, respectively.

On July 15, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.55 per share, increasing the quarter common dividend rate by $0.01 per share over the prior quarter. The common stock dividend is payable on August 17, 2015 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2015.

On April 15, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a prorated dividend of $0.18 per share of Omega’s common stock in view of the recently closed Aviv Merger. The per share dividend amount payable by Omega represents dividends for April 2015, at a quarterly dividend rate of $0.54 per share of common stock, increasing the quarterly common dividend rate by $0.01 per share over the prior quarter. The $0.18 dividend was paid in cash on May 15, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 30, 2015.

On March 5, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a prorated dividend of $0.36 per share of Omega’s common stock in view of the pending acquisition of Aviv pursuant to the Aviv Merger. The per share dividend amount represented dividends for February and March 2015, at the quarterly rate of $0.54 per share of common stock, increasing the quarterly common dividend rate by $0.01 per share over the prior quarter. The dividend was paid in cash on April 7, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2015.

Liquidity

We believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital, including cash from operations, our existing availability under our 2014 Credit Facilities and expected proceeds from mortgage payoffs are adequate to finance operations, meet recurring debt service requirements and fund future investments through the next twelve months.

We regularly review our liquidity needs, the adequacy of cash flow from operations, and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:

• normal recurring expenses;

• debt service payments;

• common stock dividends; and

• growth through acquisitions of additional properties.

The primary source of liquidity is our cash flows from operations. Operating cash flows have historically been determined by: (i) the number of facilities we lease or have mortgages on; (ii) rental and mortgage rates; (iii) our debt service obligations; and (iv) general and administrative expenses. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital and affect our plans for acquisition and disposition activity.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $25.2 million as of June 30, 2015, an increase of $20.7 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2014. The following is a discussion of changes in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities – Operating activities generated $193.1 million of net cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $166.8 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $26.3 million. The increase was primarily due to additional cash flow generated from new investments, including the facilities acquired and leased throughout 2014 and during the first six months of 2015.

Investing Activities – Net cash flow from investing activities was an outflow of $124.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to an outflow of $440.3 million for the same period in 2014. The $315.6 million decrease in cash outflow from investing activities relates primarily to (i) $3.0 million of net mortgage investment made in the first six months of 2015 compared to $410.8 million of net mortgage investment made in the same period of 2014, (ii) approximately $84.9 million cash acquired associated with Aviv Merger and (iii) $22.9 million increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, offset by (i) an increase of $161.8 million in acquisitions in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014, (ii) an increase of $18.9 million investment in construction in progress and capital improvements in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 and (iii) $19.3 million of net investment in other investments.

Financing Activities – Net cash flow from financing activities was an outflow of $47.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to an inflow of $299.6 million for the same period in 2014. The $347.4 million change in cash flow from financing activities was primarily a result of the following: (i) $266.0 million net proceeds on the credit facility in the first six months of 2015 compared to net payments of $56.0 million for the same period in 2014, (ii) an increase in proceeds of $395.5 million in long term borrowings compared to the same period in 2014 and (iii) net proceeds of $440 million from issuance of 10.925 million of common stock in the first six months of 2015 as compared to $57.2 million for the same period in 2014. Offsetting these increases were: (i) an increase of $1.4 billion in payments of long term borrowings primarily due to (a) payoff of approximately $1.2 billion assumed Aviv debt, (b) early extinguishment of $200.0 million Senior Notes due 2020 in the first quarter of 2015, (c) $147.9 million HUD mortgage loans payoff including routine HUD debt principal in the first quarter of 2015 and (d) $9.1 million HUD mortgage loan payoff in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to (e) the $200.0 million 2013 Term Loan Facility paid off in March 2014 and (f) $1.2 million routine HUD debt principal for the same period in 2014 and (ii) dividend payments increased by $25.9 million due to an increase in number of shares outstanding and an increase of $0.08 per share in the common stock dividends.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, there were no material changes in our primary market risk exposures or how those exposures are managed from the information disclosed under Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2015.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On April 1, 2015, we acquired Aviv in a stock-for-stock transaction which added 342 facilities, two facilities subject to direct financing leases, one medical office building and three mortgages. Management considers this transaction to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and believes that the internal controls and procedures of Aviv have a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We are currently in the process of incorporating the internal controls and procedures of Aviv into our internal controls over financial reporting and extending our compliance program under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to include Aviv. The Company will report on its assessment of the consolidated operations within the time period provided by the Act and the applicable SEC rules and regulations concerning business combinations.

Except as described above, during the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
