Although we believe that any forward-looking statements we make in this Annual Report are reasonable, because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. For example, a few of the uncertainties that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements, besides the specific factors identified above in the Risk Factors section of this Annual Report, include:

PART I

 

ITEM 1.      BUSINESS

 

Background

 

Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. (“Global” or “we” or the “Company”) was organized for the purpose of investing in real estate related to the long-term care industry. Prior to the Company changing its name to Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. on September 30, 2013, the Company was known as Global Casinos, Inc. Global Casinos, Inc. operated two gaming casinos which were split-off and sold on September 30, 2013. Simultaneous with the split-off and sale of the gaming operations, the Company acquired West Paces Ferry Healthcare REIT, Inc. (WPF). We plan to elect to be treated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in the future; however, we do not intend to make that election for the 2016 fiscal year.

 

We acquire, develop, lease, manage and dispose of healthcare real estate, and provide financing to healthcare providers. Our portfolio will be comprised of investments in the following five healthcare segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) life science, (iii) medical office, (iv) post-acute/skilled nursing and (v) hospital. We will make investments within our healthcare segments using the following five investment products: (i) properties under lease, (ii) debt investments, (iii) developments and redevelopments, (iv) investment management and (v) the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (“RIDEA”), which represents investments in senior housing operations utilizing the structure permitted by RIDEA.

 

The delivery of healthcare services requires real estate and, as a result, tenants and operators depend on real estate, in part, to maintain and grow their businesses. We believe that the healthcare real estate market provides investment opportunities due to the following:

 

  Compelling demographics driving the demand for healthcare services;
  Specialized nature of healthcare real estate investing; and
  Ongoing consolidation of a fragmented healthcare real estate sector.

Our Properties

 

Acquisition of West Paces Ferry Healthcare REIT, Inc. (WPF)

 

On September 30, 2013, Global acquired all of the outstanding common stock of WPF in consideration of $100. WPF owns a 65% membership interest in Dodge NH, LLC, which owns a skilled nursing facility located in Eastman, Georgia.

 

Concurrently with the consummation of the split-off of gaming operations and the WPF acquisition, the Company’s directors and executive officers were reconstituted.

 

Acquisition of Middle Georgia Nursing Home

 

Effective July 1, 2012, Georgia Healthcare REIT, Inc., (“Georgia REIT”) a private company owned and controlled by a former affiliate, consummated its first acquisition: the Middle Georgia Nursing Home. Middle Georgia Nursing Home is located at 556 Chester Highway in Eastman, Georgia (“Middle Georgia” or the “Facility”). The Facility was acquired through Dodge NH, LLC, a limited liability company formed for the purpose of acquiring Middle Georgia that was initially wholly-owned by Georgia REIT. Dodge Investors, LLC was formed and organized as a financing entity to raise $1.1 million in funding to complete the financing required to complete the acquisition, as more fully described below.

 

The terms of the acquisition of Middle Georgia were as follows: The purchase price was $5.0 million, of which $4.2 million was paid with the proceeds of a commercial mortgage with Colony Bank, as senior lender, which accrued interest at 6.25% per annum; and the balance of $1.0 million was provided by Dodge Investors, LLC. Dodge Investors LLC funded Dodge NH, LLC with $1.1 million in consideration of 13% unsecured notes and a carried 35% membership interest in Dodge NH, LLC. Of the $1.1 million raised by Dodge Investors, LLC, $125,000 was invested by Georgia REIT from loan proceeds from the Company, representing a 4% membership interest of the total 35% membership interest held by Dodge Investors, LLC. The Dodge NH, LLC notes purchased by Dodge Investors, LLC accrued interest at the rate of 13% per annum, interest payable monthly, with the outstanding balance of principal and accrued and unpaid interest due July 1, 2014.

 

Effective March 15, 2013, Georgia REIT conveyed its entire 65% membership interest in Dodge NH to WPF. During 2014 and 2015, the Company acquired the remaining membership interests in Dodge Investors, LLC and holds a 100% membership interest as of December 31, 2016. The Company has also repaid the entire $1.1 million note to Dodge Investors, LLC.

 

Dodge NH, LLC has an operating lease agreement with Eastman Healthcare and Rehab, LLC, owned by a professional skilled nursing facility operator, having an initial term of five years expiring in June 2017, with an option to renew for an additional five-year period. On January 22, 2016, the lease operator that operates the facility filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Under the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the lease operator can either assume or reject the lease. As of the date of this report, the lease operator has not made any binding elections, but has verbally represented that he intends to affirm the lease.

 

Acquisition of Warrenton Nursing Home

 

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company consummated the purchase of the 110 bed Warrenton Nursing Home (“Warrenton”) located in Warrenton, Georgia. Warrenton was purchased by ATL/WARR, LLC, a single purpose Georgia limited liability company (“Warr LLC”) previously owned 95% by a former affiliate and 5% by an unaffiliated investor. Concurrently, the former affiliate conveyed his 95% membership interest in Warr LLC to the Company for nominal consideration.

 

Warr LLC entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 3, 2013 (the “PSA”) with Providence Health Care, Inc., as seller, covering the Warrenton facility. The purchase price of Warrenton was $3.5 million, of which $2.72 million was provided by a commercial senior bank loan, and approximately $984,500 was provided by the Company.

 

 5 
   

 

Pursuant to the PSA, Warr LLC acquired (i) the land on which the facility is located, (ii) all buildings and other structures situated on or appurtenant to the land, (iii) all appliances, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and (iv) all transferable intangible assets and property related to the facility.

 

Neither Warr LLC nor the Company (i) owns a direct equity interest in the skilled nursing facility business operated by the Operator, (ii) is subject to a beneficial participating or residual interest in such business, or (iii) is entitled to participate in, or otherwise influence, any decision related to such business, except for customary provisions under the Lease with regard to the use, regulatory compliance, maintenance, alteration and preservation of the real property and FF&E.

 

Acquisition of Southern Hills Retirement Center

 

Effective February 7, 2014, the Company acquired the real property and improvements comprising a 100% interest in the Southern Hills Retirement Center located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Southern Hills”). To complete the acquisition, the Company formed and organized Southern Tulsa, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of WPF.

 

The Southern Hills facility is comprised of a senior living campus of three buildings totaling 104,192 square feet sitting on a 4.36-acre parcel. The Center consists of a Assisted Living facility (“ALF”), an Independent Living facility (“ILF”) and a Skilled Nursing facility (“SNF”). The Center offers 116 nursing beds, 86 independent living units, and 32 assisted living beds.

 

The purchase price for Southern Hills was $2.0 million, of which $1.5 million was provided by a senior mortgage with First Commercial Bank, with the balance of $500,000 provided by Global. Global also provided a guaranty of the loan from First Commercial Bank.

 

In the purchase of the property, Southern Tulsa, LLC acquired (i) the land on which the facility is located, (ii) all buildings and other structures situated on or appurtenant to the land, (iii) all appliances, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and (iv) all transferable intangible assets and property related to the facility.

 

On March 1, 2014, the Tulsa County Industrial Authority issued $5.7 million of its First Mortgage Revenue Bonds and lent the net proceeds to the Company. The Company used the proceeds to pay off the $1.5 million bridge loan, to pay certain costs of the bond issuance, to renovate the 86 independent living units and 32-bed assisted living facility, and to establish a debt service reserve fund and other initial deposits as required by the bond indenture. The debt is secured by a first mortgage lien on the independent living units and assisted living facility (facilities), an assignment of the facilities leases, a first lien on all personal property located in the facilities, and a guaranty by the Company. The debt bears interest at rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.5% with principal and interest due monthly beginning in May 2014 through maturity on March 1, 2044. The loan agreement also contains financial covenants required to be maintained by the Company.

 

The SNF was refinanced with a commercial bank for $1,750,000. The SNF was under a five-year lease to Healthcare Management of Oklahoma for an initial rent of $35,000 per month commencing February 1, 2015. On May 10, 2016, the Company obtained a Court Order appointing a Receiver to control and operate the SNF. The former lease operator represented that it was unable to meet the financial commitments of the facility, including the payment of rent, payroll, and other operating requirements. The transition to the Receiver resulted in our engaging in a turnaround effort to restore viable operations at the SNF. Under the oversight of the Receiver, we have undertaken substantial renovations at the SNF at a cost of over $1,500,000. The final phase of those upgrades should be completed in the second quarter of 2017.

 

The ALF was leased to Healthcare Management of Oklahoma (same tenant as SNF) for an initial rent of $20,000 per month which was to commence on April 1, 2015; however, additional renovations were required to open the facility and the commencement of rent payments has been delayed. To date we have expended in excess of $2.0 million in upgrades at the ALF, and hope to begin operations in the second quarter of 2017. The Company plans to seek a new tenant for the ALF to assume operations at the completion of construction.

 

The ILF requires renovation and is not subject to an operating lease. When the renovation is complete the Company plans to lease it as well.

Acquisition of Interest In Limestone Assisted Living

 

Effective March 5, 2014, WPF consummated a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement providing for the purchase from Connie Brogdon, spouse of Christopher Brogdon, President and Director of the Company, for nominal consideration ($10.00) a 25% membership interest in Limestone Assisted Living, LLC (“Limestone LLC”). The other 75% membership interest in Limestone LLC is owned by Connie Brogdon (5%) and unaffiliated third parties (70%). The Company also extended a loan to Limestone LLC in the principal amount of $550,000 (the “Limestone Loan”), which is repayable, together with interest at the rate of 10% per annum, on or before the earlier of (i) August 31, 2014 or (ii) from the proceeds of the sale of the Limestone Assisted Living facility. The obligation of Limestone LLC to repay the Limestone Loan is secured by the personal Guaranty of Christopher Brogdon. All of the proceeds of the Limestone Loan were used by Limestone LLC to repay and retire a loan in the principal amount of $500,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest, owed to an unaffiliated third party. That $500,000 loan had matured on February 1, 2013. In February 2015, we agreed to extend the maturity date of the Limestone Loan to August 1, 2015.

 

Limestone LLC owns 100% of the Limestone Assisted Living facility (“Limestone”), a 42 bed, 22,189 square foot assisted living facility situated on 4.43 acres located in Gainesville, Georgia. There is senior secured bond debt in the approximate amount of $3.7 million in addition to the Limestone Loan.

 

On March 25, 2015, the Limestone facility was sold and the Limestone Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest, was repaid in full.

 

Acquisition of Goodwill Nursing Home

 

Effective May 19, 2014, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it acquired from Christopher and Connie Brogdon (i) units representing an undivided 45% Membership Interest in Goodwill Hunting, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, and (ii) units representing an undivided 36.7% Membership Interest in GWH Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Units”). GWH Investors, LLC owns a 40% membership interest in Goodwill Hunting, LLC. Together, the Company acquired, directly and indirectly, a 59.7% interest in Goodwill Hunting, LLC. The purchase price for the Units was $800,000. The facility is subject to an aggregate of $4,601,009 in senior debt and $1,344,000 in non-affiliated subordinated debt.

 

Goodwill Hunting, LLC owns the Goodwill Nursing Home, a 172 bed skilled nursing facility located in Macon, Georgia. It was leased to Goodwill Healthcare and Rehabilitation, LLC under an operating lease that expires in 2017. In January 2016, concurrently with the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing by the lease operator, the Goodwill Nursing Home was closed by Georgia regulators and all residents were removed. The Company has entered into a new ten year operating lease covering the facility which became effective in February, 2017 with the new operator having obtained all licenses, permits and other regulatory approval necessary to recertify and reopen the facility. After receiving regulatory approvals, the lease operator invested approximately $2.0 million in capital improvements in the property. The facility has been relicensed and began taking patients in December 2016 and is currently building census.

 

Effective December 3, 2014, the Company acquired a 96.56% membership interest in GWH Investors, LLC, which holds a 40% membership interest in Goodwill Hunting, LLC. The purchase price for the 96.56% interest in GWH Investors, LLC was 164,491 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

The subordinated debt in the amount of $1,280,000 matured on July 1, 2015. With accrued and unpaid interest, the outstanding balance of the subordinated debt at December 31, 2016 was $1,344,000. Investors in the subordinated debt were entitled to an additional 5% equity in Goodwill Hunting, LLC every six months if the debt is not paid by the Company when due. Effective December 31, 2015, the investors holding all of the outstanding interests in the subordinated debt executed an Agreement Among Lenders pursuant to which they (i) waived any and all equity ratchets and (ii) agreed to extend the maturity date of the subordinated debt to June 30, 2017, in consideration for which Goodwill Hunting, LLC agreed to pay each investor a one-time premium equal to 5% of the principal amount of the notes at such time as the notes are repaid.

 

 7 
   

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company owns an 85% interest in Goodwill Hunting, LLC. That interest was 83.62% at December 31, 2015. The investors in GWH Investors, LLC still hold subordinated debt in the net amount of $1,280,000.

 

Acquisition of Edwards Redeemer Health & Rehab

 

Effective September 16, 2014, the Company acquired from a former affiliate a 62.5% membership interest in Edwards Redeemer Property Holding, LLC, which owns the real property and improvements known as the Edwards Redeemer Health & Rehab, a 106 bed nursing home located on 3.05 acres in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

 

Edwards Redeemer Health & Rehab is operated under a triple-net operating lease to a regional professional skilled nursing home operator, which will expire in December 2017. On January 22, 2016, the lease operator that operates the facility filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Under the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the lease operator can either assume or reject the lease. As of the date of this report, the lease operator has not made any binding elections, but has verbally represented that he intends to affirm the lease.

 

The purchase price for the 62.5% interest in the facility was $491,487, which is subject to an aggregate of $2,381,500 in debt. The purchase price was offset in its entirety as a credit against an advance receivable owed by a former affiliate to the Company.

 

Effective December 3, 2014, the Company acquired a 100% membership interest in Redeemer Investors, LLC which owned the remaining 37.5% membership interest in Edwards Redeemer Property Holdings, LLC. The purchase price for the 100% interest in Redeemer Investors, LLC was 269,245 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of these transactions, the Company now holds a 100% interest in Edwards Redeemer Property Holdings, LLC.

 

The investors in Redeemer Investors, LLC were repaid in full on January 23, 2015.

 

Acquisition of Grand Prairie (formerly Golden Years Manor) Nursing Home

 

Effective September 16, 2014, the Company acquired from a former affiliate a 44.5% membership interest in GL Nursing, LLC, which owns the real property and improvements known as the Golden Years Manor Nursing Home located at 1010 Barnes Street in Lonoke, Arkansas. The facility has 141 licensed beds and comprises 40,737 square feet on 3.17 acres.

 

Golden Years Manor Nursing Home is operated under a triple-net operating lease to a regional professional skilled nursing home operator, which will expire in May 2017. The lease currently generates $763,000 in gross annual rent.

 

The purchase price for the 44.5% interest in the facility was 192,767 shares of common stock in Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. The facility is subject to an aggregate of $4,671,537 in senior debt and $1,650,000 in subordinated debt.

 

Effective December 3, 2014, The Company acquired a 26.25% membership interest in GLN Investors, LLC, which owned a 30% interest in GL Nursing, LLC. The purchase price for the 26.25% interest in GLN Investors, LLC was 31,015 shares of common stock in Global Healthcare REIT, Inc.

 

During 2015, the Company acquired an additional 73.48% in GLN Investors, LLC, bringing its interest to 100%. The purchase price for the additional shares was 107,113 shares of common stock in Global Healthcare REIT, Inc.

 

 8 
   

 

In January 2016, the Company acquired an additional 24.5% interest in GLN Investors, LLC, bringing its interest in GLN Investors to 100%. The purchase price for the 24.5% interest was 54,000 shares of common stock of Global.

 

In August 2016, the Company completed an exchange offering in which it purchased from the former members of GLN Investors, LLC all of their interest in the $1,650,000 subordinated debt owed to GLN Investors, LLC by GL Nursing, LLC in consideration of 1.35 million shares of Global.

 

As a result of these transactions, at December 31, 2016, the Company held a 100% interest in GL Nursing, LLC. That interest was 75.5% at December 31, 2015.

 

In January 2016, affiliated entities of our lease operator filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. At the same time, our lease operator agreed to terminate its lease to allow a new operator to take possession of the facility. At that time, operations at the facility had deteriorated and the operator was delinquent in the payment of bed taxes as well a rent. The successor operator was unable to restore profitable operations and in August 2016 informed us that it was going to terminate its lease, which would have resulted in a loss of the Certificate of Need (“CON”) required to operate as a skilled nursing facility. Effective August 29, 2016, we executed a new operating lease with another operator. The initial lease term is ten years with two five year renewal options. The lease term does not begin until the end of the straddle period described below. The lease operator has also been granted an option to purchase the property any time after five years for a purchase price of $6.4 million.

 

Under the terms of the new lease, we agreed to cover all operating losses incurred by the new operator during a “straddle period” during which the operator is not obligated to pay rent and has agreed to undertake substantial renovations and build the census which had been significantly depleted during the prior two operator regimes. We have been honoring our commitment to cover these losses, which to date have been approximately $350,000. We have discovered a drafting error in the lease which creates ambiguity surrounding when the straddle period will terminate. Counsel for the operator has verbally indicated their agreement on the existence of the drafting error, but as of the date of this Annual Report the lease has not been amended to correct the error. If we are unable to resolve the issue, we plan to file a declaratory judgment action.

 

Acquisition of Providence of Sparta Nursing Home

 

Effective September 16, 2014, the Company acquired from a former affiliate a 65% membership interest in Providence HR, LLC, which owns the real property and improvements known as the Providence of Sparta Nursing Home. The facility has 71 licensed beds and is located on approximately 8 acres in Sparta, Georgia.

 

Providence of Sparta is operated under a triple-net operating lease to a regional professional skilled nursing home operator, which expired in June 2016. A new lease with a new operator currently generates $510,223 in gross annual straight line rent for fiscal year 2017.

 

The purchase price for the 65% interest in the facility was 61,930 shares of common stock of Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. The facility is subject to an aggregate of $1,655,123 in senior debt and $1,050,000 in subordinated debt.

 

Effective December 3, 2014, the Company acquired a 44.4% membership interest in Providence HR Investors, LLC, which owns a 30% membership interest in Providence HR, LLC. The purchase price for the 44.4% interest in Providence HR Investors, LLC was 45,145 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

During 2015, the Company acquired an additional 48.09% of Providence HR Investors, LLC bringing its interest to 92.46%. The purchase price for the additional shares was 17,333 shares of common stock in Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. In October 2016, we purchased the remaining 7.54% in outstanding interests in Providence HR Investors, LLC in consideration of 5,365 shares of common stock of Global and $10.00.

 

 9 
   

 

The subordinated debt in the amount of $1,050,000 matured on August 1, 2015. Providence HR Investors, LLC were entitled to an additional 5% equity in Providence HR, LLC every six months if the debt is not paid when due.

 

As a result of these transactions, the Company now holds a 100% interest in Providence HR, LLC. The investors in Providence HR Investors, LLC still retain $1,050,000 in subordinated debt.

 

In March 2017, the former members of Providence HR Investors, LLC which hold the interest in the $1.05 million subordinated debt all agreed to execute a Forbearance Agreement in which they agreed to (i) extend the maturity date of the note to December 31, 2017, (ii) waive accrued default interest and (iii) waive the equity ratchet that was triggered by the note not being repaid on the original maturity date.  

 

We have filed an application to refinance this facility with a HUD loan, which we hope to have completed by the end of 2017.

Effective December 3, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests in 1321 Investors, LLC, which owned a 30% membership interest in Wash/Greene, LLC. The purchase price for the 30% membership interest in 1321 Investors, LLC was 115,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

The subordinated debt in the amount of $1,125,000 matured on October 1, 2015. Investors in the subordinated debt are entitled to an additional 5% equity in Providence HR, LLC every six months if the debt is not paid when due. Effective December 31, 2015, the investors holding all of the outstanding interests in the subordinated debt executed an Agreement Among Lenders pursuant to which they (i) waived any and all equity ratchets and (ii) agreed to extend the maturity date of the subordinated debt to June 30, 2017.

 

Disposition of Greene Point Health Care Center

 

Effective June 30, 2016, the Company sold Greene Point Health Care Center for cash proceeds for $3,800,000 million. Cash proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the existing mortgage loan in the amount of $1,683,200. The Company received $2,112,970 in cash from the sale the facility, net of the senior loan, and used some of the proceeds to retire the subordinated debt owed to the former members of 1321 Investors, LLC.

 

Meadowview Healthcare Center

 

Effective September 30, 2014, the Company purchased the Meadowview Healthcare Center located in Seville, Ohio (“Meadowview”) and owns 100% of this facility. The facility is licensed for 100 skilled nursing beds, is 27,500 square feet and located on five acres of land. Seville, Ohio is located approximately 25 miles west of Akron, Ohio and 40 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio in an area with attractive population growth in the 65 to 74-year age bracket. The total purchase price for Meadowview was $3.0 million, which was paid in cash using the proceeds of the Note Offering described below. Meadowview was acquired through High Street Nursing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed for the sole purpose of completing the purchase.

 

Meadowview is operated under a triple-net operating lease to a regional professional skilled nursing home operator, which expires in October 2024. The lease currently generate $361,000 in gross annual rent for fiscal year 2016.

Our Business

 

Healthcare Industry

 

Healthcare is the single largest industry in the U.S. based on Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). According to the National Health Expenditures report by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”): (i) national health expenditures are expected to grow 1.2 percentage points faster than GDP per year over the 2016 – 2025 period; (ii) the average compounded annual growth rate for national health expenditures, over the projection period of 2016 through 2027, is anticipated to be 5.6%; and (iii) health spending is projected to represent 19.9% of US GDP by 2025, up from 17.8% in 2015.

 

Senior citizens are the largest consumers of healthcare services. According to CMS, on a per capita basis, the 85-year and older segment of the population spends 92% more on healthcare than the 65 to 84-year-old segment and over 329% more than the population average.

 

Business Strategy

 

Our primary goal is to increase shareholder value through profitable growth. Our investment strategy to achieve this goal is based on three principles: (i) opportunistic investing, (ii) portfolio diversification and (iii) conservative financing.

 

Opportunistic Investing

 

We will make investment decisions that are expected to drive profitable growth and create shareholder value. We will attempt to position ourselves to create and take advantage of situations to meet our goals and investment criteria.

 

Portfolio Diversification

 

We believe in maintaining a portfolio of healthcare investments diversified by segment, geography, operator, tenant and investment product. Diversification reduces the likelihood that a single event would materially harm our business and allows us to take advantage of opportunities in different markets based on individual market dynamics. While pursuing our strategy of diversification, we will monitor, but will not limit, our investments based on the percentage of our total assets that may be invested in any one property type, investment product, geographic location, the number of properties which we may lease to a single operator or tenant, or mortgage loans we may make to a single borrower. With investments in multiple segments and investment products, we can focus on opportunities with the most attractive risk/reward profile for the portfolio as a whole. We may structure transactions as master leases, require operator or tenant insurance and indemnifications, obtain credit enhancements in the form of guarantees, letters of credit or security deposits, and take other measures to mitigate risk.

 

Financing

 

We will strive to manage our debt-to-equity levels and maintain multiple sources of liquidity, access to capital markets and secured debt lenders, relationships with current and prospective institutional joint venture partners, and our ability to divest of assets. Our debt obligations will be primarily fixed rate with staggered maturities, which reduces the impact of rising interest rates on our operations.

 

We plan to finance our investments based on our evaluation of available sources of funding. For short-term purposes, we may arrange for short-term borrowings from banks or other sources. We may also arrange for longer-term financing through offerings of equity and debt securities, placement of mortgage debt and capital from other institutional lenders and equity investors.

 

 12 
   

 

Competition

 

Investing in real estate serving the healthcare industry is highly competitive. We will face competition from REITs, investment companies, private equity and hedge fund investors, sovereign funds, healthcare operators, lenders, developers and other institutional investors, some of whom may have greater resources and lower costs of capital than we do. Increased competition makes it more challenging for us to identify and successfully capitalize on opportunities that meet our objectives. Our ability to compete may also be impacted by national and local economic trends, availability of investment alternatives, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, existing laws and regulations, new legislation and population trends.

 

Income from our facilities is dependent on the ability of our operators and tenants to compete with other companies on a number of different levels, including: the quality of care provided, reputation, the physical appearance of a facility, price and range of services offered, alternatives for healthcare delivery, the supply of competing properties, physicians, staff, referral sources, location, the size and demographics of the population in surrounding areas, and the financial condition of our tenants and operators. Private, federal and state payment programs as well as the effect of laws and regulations may also have a significant influence on the profitability of our tenants and operators.

 

Healthcare Segments

 

Senior housing. Senior housing facilities include assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), independent living facilities (“ILFs”) and continuing care retirement communities (“CCRCs”), which cater to different segments of the elderly population based upon their needs. Services provided by our operators or tenants in these facilities are primarily paid for by the residents directly or through private insurance and are less reliant on government reimbursement programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. Senior housing property types are further described below.

 

Assisted Living Facilities. ALFs are licensed care facilities that provide personal care services, support and housing for those who need help with activities of daily living (“ADL”) yet require limited medical care. The programs and services may include transportation, social activities, exercise and fitness programs, beauty or barber shop access, hobby and craft activities, community excursions, meals in a dining room setting and other activities sought by residents. These facilities are often in apartment-like buildings with private residences ranging from single rooms to large apartments. Certain ALFs may offer higher levels of personal assistance for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Levels of personal assistance are based in part on local regulations.

 

Independent Living Facilities. ILFs are designed to meet the needs of seniors who choose to live in an environment surrounded by their peers with services such as housekeeping, meals and activities. These residents generally do not need assistance with ADL, such as bathing, eating and dressing. However, residents have the option to contract for these services.

 

Continuing Care Retirement Communities. CCRCs provide housing and health-related services under long-term contracts. This alternative is appealing to residents as it eliminates the need for relocating when health and medical needs change, thus allowing residents to “age in place.” Some CCRCs require a substantial entry or buy-in fee and most also charge monthly maintenance fees in exchange for a living unit, meals and some health services. CCRCs typically require the individual to be in relatively good health and independent upon entry.

 

Post-acute/skilled nursing. Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) offer restorative, rehabilitative and custodial nursing care for people not requiring the more extensive and sophisticated treatment available at hospitals. Ancillary revenues and revenues from sub-acute care services are derived from providing services to residents beyond room and board and include occupational, physical, speech, respiratory and intravenous therapy, wound care, oncology treatment, brain injury care and orthopedic therapy as well as sales of pharmaceutical products and other services. Certain SNFs provide some of the foregoing services on an out-patient basis.

 

 13 
   

 

Post-acute/skilled nursing services provided by our operators and tenants in these facilities will be primarily paid for either by private sources or through the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

 

Life science. These properties contain laboratory and office space primarily for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, scientific research institutions, government agencies and other organizations involved in the life science industry. While these properties contain similar characteristics to commercial office buildings, they generally contain more advanced electrical, mechanical, and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) systems. The facilities generally have equipment including emergency generators, fume hoods, lab bench tops and related amenities. In many instances, life science tenants make significant investments to improve their leased space, in addition to landlord improvements, to accommodate biology, chemistry or medical device research initiatives.

 

Medical office. Medical office buildings (“MOBs”) typically contain physicians’ offices and examination rooms, and may also include pharmacies, hospital ancillary service space and outpatient services such as diagnostic centers, rehabilitation clinics and day-surgery operating rooms. While these facilities are similar to commercial office buildings, they require additional plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems to accommodate multiple exam rooms that may require sinks in every room, and special equipment such as x-ray machines. In addition, MOBs are often built to accommodate higher structural loads for certain equipment and may contain “vaults” or other specialized construction. We expect our MOBs will be typically multi-tenant properties leased to healthcare providers (hospitals and physician practices).

 

Hospital. Services provided by our operators and tenants in these facilities are paid for by private sources, third-party payors (e.g., insurance and Health Maintenance Organizations or “HMOs”), or through the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Hospital property types include acute care, long-term acute care, and specialty and rehabilitation hospitals.

 

Investment Products

 

Properties under lease. We plan to primarily generate revenue by leasing properties under long-term leases. Most of our rents and other earned income from leases will be received under triple-net leases or leases that provide for a substantial recovery of operating expenses. However, some of our MOBs and life science facility rents will be structured under gross or modified gross leases. Accordingly, for such gross or modified gross leases, we may incur certain property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management fees, utilities and insurance.

 

Our ability to grow income from properties under lease depends, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income and other earned income from leases by increasing rental rates and occupancy levels, (ii) maximize tenant recoveries and (iii) control non-recoverable operating expenses. Most of our leases will include contractual annual base rent escalation clauses that are either predetermined fixed increases and/or are a function of an inflation index.

 

Debt investments. Our mezzanine loans will generally be secured by a pledge of ownership interests of an entity or entities, which directly or indirectly own properties, and are subordinate to more senior debt, including mortgages and more senior mezzanine loans. Our interest in mortgages and construction financing will typically be issued by healthcare providers and will generally be secured by healthcare real estate.

 

Developments and redevelopments. We will generally commit to development projects that are at least 50% pre-leased or when we believe that market conditions will support speculative construction. We will work closely with our local real estate service providers, including brokerage, property management, project management and construction management companies to assist us in evaluating development proposals and completing developments. Our development and redevelopment investments will likely be in the life science and medical office segments. Redevelopments are properties that require significant capital expenditures (generally more than 25% of acquisition cost or existing basis) to achieve property stabilization or to change the primary use of the properties.

 

 14 
   

 

Investment management. We may co-invest in real estate properties with institutional investors through joint ventures structured as partnerships or limited liability companies. We may target institutional investors with long-term investment horizons who seek to benefit from our expertise in healthcare real estate. Predominantly, we plan to retain noncontrolling interests in the joint ventures ranging from 20% to 30% and serve as the managing member. These ventures generally allow us to earn acquisition and asset management fees, and have the potential for promoted interests or incentive distributions based on performance of the joint venture.

 

Operating properties (“RIDEA”). We may enter into contracts with healthcare operators to manage communities that are placed in a structure permitted by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (commonly referred to as “RIDEA”). Under the provisions of RIDEA, a REIT may lease “qualified health care properties” on an arm’s length basis to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) if the property is operated on behalf of such subsidiary by a person who qualifies as an “eligible independent contractor.” We view RIDEA as a structure primarily to be used on properties that present attractive valuation entry points, where repositioning with a new operator that is aligned with health care providers can bring scale, operating efficiencies, and/or ancillary services to drive growth.

 

Government Regulations, Licensing and Enforcement

 

Overview

 

Our tenants and operators will typically be subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local healthcare laws and regulations relating to fraud and abuse practices, government reimbursement, licensure and certificate of need and similar laws governing the operation of healthcare facilities, and we expect that the healthcare industry, in general, will continue to face increased regulation and pressure in the areas of fraud, waste and abuse, cost control, healthcare management and provision of services, among others. These regulations are wide-ranging and can subject our tenants and operators to civil, criminal and administrative sanctions. Affected tenants and operators may find it increasingly difficult to comply with this complex and evolving regulatory environment because of a relative lack of guidance in many areas as certain of our healthcare properties will be subject to oversight from several government agencies and the laws may vary from one jurisdiction to another. Changes in laws and regulations and reimbursement enforcement activity and regulatory non-compliance by our tenants and operators can all have a significant effect on their operations and financial condition, which in turn may adversely impact us.

 

We will seek to mitigate the risk to us resulting from the significant healthcare regulatory risks faced by our tenants and operators by diversifying our portfolio among property types and geographical areas, diversifying our tenant and operator base to limit our exposure to any single entity, and seeking tenants and operators who are not largely dependent on Medicaid reimbursement for their revenues. In addition, we ensure in each instance that our operators have obtained all necessary licenses and permits before beginning operations, and require that those operators covenant that they will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the facility operations.

 

The following is a discussion of certain laws and regulations generally applicable to our operators, and in certain cases, to us.

 

Fraud and Abuse Enforcement

 

There are various extremely complex federal and state laws and regulations governing healthcare providers’ relationships and arrangements and prohibiting fraudulent and abusive practices by such providers. These laws include (i) federal and state false claims acts, which, among other things, prohibit providers from filing false claims or making false statements to receive payment from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state healthcare programs, (ii) federal and state anti-kickback and fee-splitting statutes, including the Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback statute, which prohibit the payment or receipt of remuneration to induce referrals or recommendations of healthcare items or services, (iii) federal and state physician self-referral laws (commonly referred to as the “Stark Law”), which generally prohibit referrals by physicians to entities with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship, (iv) the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, the knowing presentation of a false or fraudulent claim for certain healthcare services and (v) federal and state privacy laws, including the privacy and security rules contained in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which provide for the privacy and security of personal health information. Violations of healthcare fraud and abuse laws carry civil, criminal and administrative sanctions, including punitive sanctions, monetary penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and potential exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state healthcare programs. These laws are enforced by a variety of federal, state and local agencies and can also be enforced by private litigants through, among other things, federal and state false claims acts, which allow private litigants to bring qui tam or “whistleblower” actions. Many of our operators and tenants are subject to these laws, and some of them may in the future become the subject of governmental enforcement actions if they fail to comply with applicable laws.

 

 15 
   

 

Reimbursement

 

Sources of revenue for many of our tenants and operators will include, among other sources, governmental healthcare programs, such as the federal Medicare program and state Medicaid programs, and non-governmental payors, such as insurance carriers and HMOs. As federal and state governments focus on healthcare reform initiatives, and as many states face significant budget deficits, efforts to reduce costs by these payors will likely continue, which may result in reduced or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of our tenants and operators.

 

Healthcare Licensure and Certificate of Need

 

Certain healthcare facilities in our portfolio will be subject to extensive federal, state and local licensure, certification and inspection laws and regulations. In addition, various licenses and permits are required to dispense narcotics, operate pharmacies, handle radioactive materials and operate equipment. Many states require certain healthcare providers to obtain a certificate of need, which requires prior approval for the construction, expansion and closure of certain healthcare facilities. The approval process related to state certificate of need laws may impact some of our tenants’ and operators’ abilities to expand or change their businesses.

 

Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”)

 

Our properties must comply with the ADA and any similar state or local laws to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined in those statutes. The ADA may require removal of barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. To date, we have not received any notices of noncompliance with the ADA that have caused us to incur substantial capital expenditures to address ADA concerns. Should barriers to access by persons with disabilities be discovered at any of our properties, we may be directly or indirectly responsible for additional costs that may be required to make facilities ADA-compliant. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations pursuant to the ADA is an ongoing one, and we continue to assess our properties and make modifications as appropriate in this respect.

 

Environmental Matters

 

A wide variety of federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations affect healthcare facility operations. These complex federal and state statutes, and their enforcement, involve a myriad of regulations, many of which involve strict liability on the part of the potential offender. Some of these federal and state statutes may directly impact us. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner of real property or a secured lender, such as us, may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at, under or disposed of in connection with such property, as well as other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including government fines and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property). The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or property damages and the owner’s or secured lender’s liability therefore could exceed or impair the value of the property, and/or the assets of the owner or secured lender. In addition, the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral which, in turn, could reduce our revenues.

Taxation

 

Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

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

 

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

 

General

 

We will elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) at such time as the Board of Directors, with the consultation of our professional advisors, determines that we qualify as a REIT under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. We cannot predict for which tax year that election will be made; however, we do not intend to make such an election for 2016. Therefore, applicable taxes have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Once we make the election to be treated as a REIT, we intend to continue to operate in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT, but there is no guarantee that we will qualify or remain qualified as a REIT for subsequent years. Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet a variety of qualification tests imposed under federal income tax law with respect to income, assets, distribution level and diversity of share ownership. There can be no assurance that we will be owned and organized and will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified.

 

In any year in which we qualify as a REIT, in general, we will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our REIT taxable income or capital gain that is distributed to stockholders. We may, however, be subject to tax at normal corporate rates on any taxable income or capital gain not distributed. If we elect to retain and pay income tax on our net long-term capital gain, stockholders are required to include their proportionate share of our undistributed long-term capital gain in income, but they will receive a refundable credit for their share of any taxes paid by us on such gain.

 

 17 
   

 

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

 

  To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our “REIT taxable income,” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax on the undistributed amount at regular corporate tax rates;
     
  If we have net income from the sale or other disposition of “foreclosure property” that is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, such income will be taxed at the highest corporate rate;
     
  Any net income from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, other than dispositions of foreclosure property and dispositions of property due to an involuntary conversion) will be subject to a 100% tax;
     
  If we fail to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income tests, but nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements are met, we will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount equal to (1) the gross income attributable to the greater of (i) 75% of our gross income over the amount of qualifying gross income for purposes of the 75% gross income test or (ii) 95% of our gross income over the amount of qualifying gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test multiplied by (2) a fraction intended to reflect our profitability;
     
  If we fail to distribute during each year at least the sum of (1) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for the year, (2) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year (other than capital gain that we elect to retain and pay tax on) and (3) any undistributed taxable income from preceding periods, we will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over amounts actually distributed;
     
  We will be subject to a 100% tax on the amount of any rents from real property, deductions or excess interest paid to us by any of our “taxable REIT subsidiaries” that would be reduced through reallocation under certain federal income tax principles in order to more clearly reflect income of the taxable REIT subsidiary;
     
  We may be subject to the corporate “alternative minimum tax” on any items of tax preference, including any deductions of net operating losses; and
     
  For any investments which may qualify as prohibited transactions or restricted assets, we may elect to form a taxable REIT subsidiary to hold such investments or operations. Income from the taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to taxes at the usual federal and state tax rates.

 

On March 30, 2010, the President signed into law the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which requires U.S. stockholders who meet certain requirements and are individuals, estates or certain trusts to pay an additional 3.8% tax on, among other things, dividends on and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of stock for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. U.S. stockholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of shares of our stock.

  (1) The subordinated note on Goodwill matured on July 1, 2015. Investors in the Goodwill note were entitled to an additional 5% equity in Goodwill Hunting, LLC every six months if the note is not paid when due. Effective December 31, 2015, the investors holding the subordinated debt executed an Agreement Among Lenders pursuant to which they (i) agreed to waive any and all equity ratchets and (ii) agreed to extend the maturity date of the subordinated debt to June 30, 2017. In exchange, Goodwill Hunting agreed to pay the investors an additional one-time premium equal to 5% of the principal amount of the individual note at such time as the note is repaid.
     
  (2) The subordinated note on Sparta matured on August 1, 2016. Investors in the Sparta note were entitled to an additional 5% equity in Providence HR, LLC every six months if the note is not paid when due. In March 2017, all of the former members of Providence HR Investors, LLC executed a Forbearance Agreement in which each agreed to (i) waive default interest, (ii) waive any equity ratchet adjustment and (iii) extend the maturity date of the note to December 31, 2017.
     
  (3) On January 22, 2016, a lease operator that operates Middle Georgia, Edwards Redeemer, Golden Years (until January 1, 2016) and Goodwill filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Under the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the lease operator can either assume or reject the leases of Middle Georgia, Edwards Redeemer and Goodwill. As of the date of this Report, the lease operator has rejected the Goodwill lease and has not made any binding elections, but has verbally represented that he intends to affirm the leases of Middle Georgia and Edwards Redeemer.
     
  (4) Goodwill was closed by regulators in January 2016 and did not generate any revenue in 2016. In a transaction related to the sale of the Greene Point facility, an affiliate of the buyer of Greene Point has executed a ten year operating lease covering Goodwill. The operator expended approximately $2.0 million on renovations and in December 2016 took its first patients. In the first quarter of 2017, the operator completed all relicensing and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement approvals, at which time the lease became effective. First residents were admitted in December 2016. Rent for the first year which began February 1, 2017 is $16,667 per month plus an occupancy rent based on census, payable at the rate of $2,000 per month for every ten residents, with an annual cap of $312,000.

  (5)

We executed a new lease in August 2016 with a new operator, which renamed the facility Grand Prairie Nursing Home. Under the new lease, the operator agreed to undertake significant renovations and we agreed to cover its operating losses during what was characterized as a “straddle period”. The lease does not formally commence unit the end of the straddle period. During the straddle period the operator does not have an obligation to pay rent, and any operating profits must be paid to us as reimbursement for our advances to cover the tenant’s operating losses. We have discovered a drafting error in the lease which creates ambiguity surrounding when the straddle period will terminate. Counsel for the operator has verbally indicated their agreement on the existence of the drafting error, but as of the date of this Annual Report the lease has not been amended to correct the error. If we are unable to resolve the issue, we plan to file a declaratory judgment action.

 

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims, or disputes. We are or were a party to the following pending legal proceedings.

 

We were a party to a civil action captioned Summers v. West Paces Ferry Healthcare REIT, Inc., Southern Tulsa, LLC and SC CCRC, LLC, No. CJ-2015-3048 in the District Court in and for Tulsa County, Oklahoma (the “Action”). The Action involved a personal injury claim brought by the heirs of a former resident of the Skilled Nursing Facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma owned by a subsidiary of the Company. This case has been dismissed.

 

Southern Tulsa, LLC v. Healthcare Management of Oklahoma, LLC, District Court of Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, Case No. CJ – 2016- 01781.

 

This matter was brought by us to have the appointment of a Receiver for the Southern Tulsa SNF and to recover damages from our former operator at that facility. The Court has ordered the appointment of a Receiver effective May 10, 2016. Other claims and matters are pending.

 

Joann Howard v. Southern Tulsa, LLC, West Paces Ferry Healthcare REIT, LLC, et. al. District Court of Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, Case No. CJ- 2015-03048.

 

This was a personal injury lawsuit brought by the heirs of a former resident of the Southern Tulsa SNF. Our affiliates were named as defendants due to their ownership of the property. This case has been dismissed.

 

Gregory D. Hughes, Esq. v. Janis M Tilford, et. al., Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, Civil Action File No. 16-1-2391-49.

 

This civil action arises from the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company’s subsidiary TNH Acquisition, LLC to acquire the skilled nursing facility in Ridgeway, South Carolina. The dispute is over the disposition of our $100,000 earnest money deposit which the escrow agent has interpleaded into the Court. This matter was settled in 2016.

 

Thomas v. Edwards Redeemer Property Holdings, LLC, et.al., District Court for Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, Case No. CJ 2016-2160.

 

This action arises from a personal injury claim brought by heirs of a former resident of our Edwards Redeemer facility. We are entitled to indemnification from the lease operator and should be covered under the lease operator’s general liability policy. As we are not the operators of the facility and believe we have indemnity coverage, we believe we have no exposure. The lease operator’s insurance carrier is providing a defense and indemnity; and as a result we believe the likelihood of a material adverse result is remote.

 

Verizon Construction, Inc., v. Southern Tulsa, LLC, et. al., District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, Case No. CJ-2015-04326.

 

This is a mechanic’s lien foreclosure action on the Southern Hills facility in Tulsa arising from work performed. The Plaintiff was a subcontractor to our general contractor; and while we paid the general contractor for that work, the general contractor apparently did not pay the subcontractor. Plaintiff is seeking $441,939 previously invoiced to the general contractor, plus attorney’s fees and costs. The general contractor, also a named defendant, is liable for this amount but may not have the resources to pay the plaintiff, therefore the Company may be liable for some unknown amount less than or equal to Plaintiff’s claim. The company is currently in discussions with the plaintiff and hopes to reach a settlement in the near future, of which there can be no assurance. The Company has accrued $25,000 as a probable loss for this matter in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, based on verbal agreements and formal settlement agreement under review.

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

 

The outstanding shares of Common Stock are traded over-the-counter and quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “GBCS”. On April 25, 2011, the quotation was moved from the OTCBB to the OTCQB due to the lack of a market maker. The reported high and low bid and ask prices for the common stock are shown below for the period from January 2015 through December 31, 2016.

 

   High   Low 
Jan – Mar 2015  $1.05   $0.81 
Apr – June 2015  $1.00   $0.82 
July – Sept 2015  $1.10   $0.74 
Oct – Dec 2015  $0.96   $0.52 
Jan – Mar 2016  $0.80   $0.33 
Apr – June 2016  $0.67   $0.29 
July – Sept 2016  $0.45   $0.33 
Oct – Dec 2016  $0.57   $0.26 

 

The closing price of the Company’s common stock as of April 13, 2017 was $0.46, as reported on the OTCQB. The OTCBB and OTCQB prices are bid and ask prices which represent prices between broker-dealers and do not include retail mark-ups and mark-downs or any commissions to the broker-dealer. The prices do not reflect prices in actual transactions. As of April 13, 2017, there were approximately 850 record owners of the Company’s common stock.

 

The OTC Bulletin Board is a registered quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. An OTC equity security generally is any equity that is not listed or traded on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements, per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors may declare and pay dividends on outstanding shares of common stock out of funds legally available therefore in its sole discretion. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company paid dividends on common stock of $0, or $0.00 per share, and $440,779, or $0.02 per share, respectively, in addition to the 8% dividends on our outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Future dividends on our common stock will be authorized at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our actual cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code if and when we elect to be treated as a REIT, and other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

None, except as previously reported on Forms 8-K.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

Our CEO and CFO serve on an at-will basis and are compensated through the issuance of shares of common stock valued at $38,000 per quarter for each officer. The arrangement is approved by the Board on a quarterly basis and has not been the subject of shareholder approval.

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

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,292,474, reported net cash used in operations of $506,953 and has an accumulated deficit of $6,021,903. These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows to operate profitably and meet contractual obligations, or raise additional capital through debt financing or through sales of common stock.

 

The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows or obtain additional funding would be detrimental to the Company. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $2,859,842, compared to $3,406,737 for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $546,895.

 

On January 22, 2016, the lease operator that leased our Middle Georgia, Edwards Redeemer, Golden Years and Goodwill properties filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S Bankruptcy Code, and at the same time the regulators closed the Goodwill facility. At the time of the bankruptcy petition, we were owed pre-petition rent of over $600,000 which likely will not be recovered. The bankrupt lease operator also owned unpaid property taxes on each of the controlled properties totaling approximately $300,000 which constitute a lien on our interests and must be paid.

 

We continue to have to service the senior secured loan at Goodwill even though the property was closed in January 2016 and generated no revenues in 2016. In a transaction related to the sale of the Greene Point facility, an affiliate of the buyer of Greene Point has executed a ten year operating lease covering Goodwill. The operator expended approximately $2.0 million on renovations and in December 2016 took its first patients. In the first quarter of 2017, the operator completed all relicensing and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement approvals, at which time the lease became effective. First residents were admitted in December 2016. Rent is based on census, payable at the rate of $2,000 per month for every ten residents, with an annual cap of $312,000.

 

We have not recognized any rental revenues related to the Lonoke property in 2016, and under the terms of the new lease with a new operator, we’ll continue to not receive any rental revenues until we have been reimbursed for the costs of refurbishment and operating losses incurred by the new operator which we are required to advance. We cannot predict when rental revenues will resume from the Lonoke facility. We have restructured our senior loan related to Lonoke which permitted us to defer certain payments in 2016 and pay interest only until April 1, 2017.

 

Rental revenues from our Southern Hills SNF has been sporadic under the Receivership on that property; and we have additional refurbishment costs for that facility. We recognized no rental revenues related to our assisted and independent living facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma which were to have begun April 1, 2015; however, additional renovations are required to open the facilities. We expect to recognize rental revenues on the assisted living facility during 2017. Rental revenues for our independent living facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma will be recognized after construction activities and renovations have been completed, forecast to occur in 2018.

 

 23 
   

 

Effective June 30, 2016, we sold our Providence of Greene Point Healthcare Center for $3.8 million. From the proceeds, we retired the senior secured loan and subordinated unsecured debt. Prior to the sale, we recognized rental revenues of $143,616 for 2016 compared to $287,052 for 2015.

 

General and administrative expenses were $1,791,421 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1,682,734 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $108,687. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, general administrative expenses include $536,886 and $194,666, respectively, of share based compensation related to restricted stock and common stock awards granted. During 2015, we recognized bad debt expense of $550,651 related to the bankruptcy of a lease operator who operated four of our properties and on notes receivable and notes receivable-related parties which we determined to be uncollectible based on the borrower’s ability to repay. We recognized $150,000 of bad debt expense during 2016 related to a note receivable which we determined to be uncollectible. This classification also includes legal, accounting, and other professional fees incurred in complying with regulatory reporting requirements.

 

Property taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses totaled $584,374 and $152,065 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Lessees are responsible for the payment of insurance, taxes and other charges while under the lease. Should the lessee not pay all such charges, as required under the leases, we may be liable for such operating expenses. We have been required to cover these expenses at both our Goodwill since the facility was closed by regulators in January 2016 and the Lonoke facility due to defaults by our operator lessees. We are also responsible for property taxes and insurance related to the ALF and ILF at our Southern Hills Retirement Center.

 

Acquisition costs were $52,325 and $50,645 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During 2016, we incurred acquisition costs in the form of a partial forfeiture of an earnest money deposit related to the potential purchase of a skilled nursing facility. The acquisition failed to close. We did not acquire any properties during the 2015 year; however, we incurred acquisition costs related to potential acquisitions which do not close.

 

We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2015. Due to continued operating losses and cash flow deficiencies during 2015, we assessed qualitative factors and determined that we could not conclude that it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill exceeded its carrying value for the goodwill recorded. Accordingly, we proceeded to a quantitative evaluation of potential impairment of goodwill. As a result, we impaired goodwill in its entirety and recorded an impairment charge of $1,750,454 during 2015.

 

We recognized a gain on disposal of property and equipment of $980,839 during 2016 related to the sale of our Providence of Greene Point Healthcare Center for cash proceeds of $3.8 million.

 

Depreciation expense totaled $1,470,238 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1,115,700 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $354,538. We have not recorded depreciation expense on our independent living and assisted living facilities located at our Southern Hills Retirement Center which will commence once renovations have been completed and the property is placed in service.

 

Warrants to purchase our common stock with nonstandard anti-dilution provisions, regardless of the probability or likelihood that may conditionally obligate the issuer to ultimately transfer assets, are classified as liabilities and are recorded at their estimated fair value at each reporting period. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we recognized a change in fair value of the warrant liability of $58,085 and $638,172, respectively.

 

 24 
   

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a $1,163,458 gain on extinguishment of debt as a result of an exchange of common stock for an unsecured note payable with a principal balance of $1,550,000 and unpaid interest of $99,458.

 

A gain of $96,542 was recognized on the settlement of accounts payable and other liabilities during 2016.

 

Interest income of $31,978 and $82,132 was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, from outstanding notes receivable and notes receivable from related parties.

 

Interest expense totaled $2,584,860 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $2,809,272 for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $224,412. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to the decrease in debt outstanding during 2016 compared to the 2015. Capitalized interest on construction in progress related to renovations at our Southern Hills Retirement Center totaled $0 and $105,867 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these accounting policies are particularly important for an understanding of the financial position and results of operations presented in the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere in this report. These policies require application of judgment and assumptions by management and, as a result, are subject to a degree of uncertainty. Actual results could differ as a result of such judgment and assumptions.

 

Property Acquisitions

 

We allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets based on relative fair values. Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from independent appraisals, other market data, information obtained during due diligence and information related to the marketing and leasing at the specific property. Acquisition-related costs such as due diligence, legal and accounting fees are expensed as incurred. Initial valuations are subject to change during the measurement period, but the period ends as soon as the information is available. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the date of acquisition.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. This estimate considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying amount of the property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. Estimated fair value is determined with the assistance from independent valuation specialists using recent sales of similar assets, market conditions or projected cash flows of properties using standard industry valuation techniques.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair values of the respective identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or whenever events change and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has occurred using specific methods described in U.S. GAAP. As allowed by U.S. GAAP, management initially performs a qualitative analysis of goodwill using qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount including goodwill. Such qualitative factors include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines through the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary, and performing the two-step impairment test outlined in U.S. GAAP is not required.

 

 25 
   

 

Notes Receivable and Notes Receivable – Related Parties

 

The Company evaluates its notes receivable for impairment when it is probable the payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the note receivable agreements. Once a note has been determined to be impaired, it is measured to establish the amount of the impairment, if any, based on the fair value, as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate. If the fair value of the impaired note receivable is less than the recorded investment in the note, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Throughout its history, the Company has experienced shortages in working capital and has relied, from time to time, upon sales of debt and equity securities to meet cash demands generated by our acquisition activities.

 

At December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $578,242 on hand. In June 2016, we sold our Greene Point facility for gross cash proceeds of $3.8 million. A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off an existing mortgage related to the facility in the amount of $1.7 million and related subordinated debt of $1,181,250. Our liquidity is expected to increase from potential equity and debt offerings and decrease as net offering proceeds are expended in connection with the acquisition of properties. Our continuing short-term liquidity requirements consisting primarily of operating expenses and debt service requirements, excluding balloon payments at maturity, are expected to be achieved from rental revenues received and existing cash on hand. We plan to renew senior debts that mature during 2017, as our projected cash flow from operations will be insufficient to retire the debt. Our restricted cash totaled $580,747 as of December 31, 2016 which is reserved for debt service associated with our Southern Hills Retirement Center.

 

Cash used in operating activities was $506,953 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to cash used in operating activities of $30,855 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Cash flows provided by operations in 2016 were negatively impacted by the decrease in rental revenues as a result of the bankruptcy filing of a lease operator and the closure of one facility.

 

Cash provided by investing activities was $2,222,738 and $352,373 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. During 2016, we issued a $150,000 note receivable, received collections of $573,428 from notes receivable – related parties, received proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in the amount of $2,112,970, and spent $313,660 on capital expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we issued a note receivable in the amount of $150,000 to a nursing home operator, collected $574,719 from notes receivable to related parties, received back $500,000 in earnest money on deposit related to a potential acquisition and expended $598,049 on construction related to our Southern Hills campus.

 

Cash used in financing activities was $1,208,598 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $784,060 for the year ended December 31, 2015. During 2016, we made payments on debt approximating $1.7 million and received proceeds from issuance of debt of $600,000. During 2015, we made payments on debt approximating $2.9 million, received proceeds from issuance of debt of approximately $2.6 million, and paid $440,779 in dividends on our common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, our debt balances consisted of the following:

 

   2016   2015 
         
Convertible Notes Payable  $3,200,000   $3,200,000 
Senior Secured Promissory Notes   600,000    -

   $32,037,431   $35,815,772

The weighted average interest rate and term of our fixed rate debt are 6.90% and 5.9 years, respectively, as of December 31, 2016. The weighted average interest rate and term of our variable rate debt are 5.8% and 15.4 years, respectively, as of December 31, 2016.

  (1) Mortgage loans are non-recourse to the Company except for the Southern Hills line of credit owed to First United Bank.
     
  (2) Effective September 19, 2016, we executed a Modification to the mortgage note pursuant to which some accrued payments were deferred and the lender agreed to permit interest only payments through March 2017. The mortgage loan collateralized by the Golden Years Manor Nursing Home is 80% guaranteed by the USDA and requires an annual renewal fee payable in the amount of 0.25% of the USDA guaranteed portion of the outstanding principal balance as of December 31 of each year. The Company is subject to financial covenants and customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was not in compliance with certain of these financial and non-financial covenants which is considered to be a technical Event of Default as defined in the note agreement. Remedies available to the lender in the event of a continuing Event of Default, at its option, include, but are necessarily limited to the following (1) lender may declare the principal and all accrued interest on the note due and payable; and (2) lender may exercise additional rights and remedies under the note agreement to include taking possession of the collateral or seeking satisfaction from the guarantors. The Company has not been notified by the lender regarding the exercise of any remedies available. Guarantors under the mortgage loan are Christopher Brogdon and GLN Investors, LLC, in which the Company owns a 100% membership interest.

Other mortgage loans contain financial and non-financial covenants, including reporting obligations, with which the Company has not complied in some instances in an untimely manner.

 

We have $22.5 million of debt maturing during the year ending December 31, 2017. While we anticipate being able to refinance all the loans at reasonable market terms upon maturity, our inability to do so may impact our financial position and results of operations. We expect to refinance $7.8 million in mortgage loans maturing in 2017 as the associated properties meet loan to value requirements currently being employed in commercial lending markets. We have $2.4 million in subordinated debt maturing in 2017. See the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the Form 10-K for additional debt details. The following is a summary of our subordinated debt at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

Subordinated Debt

 

Our subordinated debt at December 31, 2016 and 2015 includes unsecured notes payable issued to controlled entities used to facilitate the acquisition of the nursing home properties.

 

       Principal Outstanding at   Stated

  (1) As of December 31, 2016, the income from the Goodwill facility was insufficient to cover debt service for the subordinated debt for the facility. The debt is accruing interest at the default rate but not currently being paid. We are in discussions with the lenders to restructure the accrued interest into a new note to be amortized through future payments. The Company has entered into a new ten year operating lease covering the facility which became effective in February, 2017 with the new operator having obtained all licenses, permits and other regulatory approval necessary to recertify and reopen the facility. After receiving regulatory approvals, the lease operator invested approximately $2.0 million in capital improvements in the property. The facility has been relicensed and began taking patients in December 2016 and is currently building census.
     
  (2) The subordinated note on Goodwill matured on July 1, 2015. Investors in the Goodwill note were entitled to an additional 5% equity in Goodwill Hunting, LLC every six months if the note is not paid when due. Effective December 31, 2015, all of the holders of the Goodwill subordinated note executed an Agreement Among Lenders pursuant to which they (i) waived all equity ratchets and (ii) extended the maturity date of their notes to June 30, 2017. In exchange, Goodwill Hunting LLC agreed to pay the investors a one-time premium equal to 5% of the principal amount of each individual note (approximately $64,000) as such time as the note is repaid. For the year ended December 31, 2016, a premium of $64,000 has been recognized into earnings.

 

 28 
   

 

  (3) We have applied to refinance the senior and subordinated debt at Sparta with a new HUD loan. To accommodate that application, in March 2017 the investors in Providence HR Investors, LLC, the holder of the subordinated debt, entered into a Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which the agreed to (i) waive the equity ratchet they were entitled to due to our failure to repay the debt on or before the maturity date (ii) waive the accrual of default interest and (iii) extend the maturity date of the subordinated debt to December 31, 2017.
     
  (4) Effective September 23, 2016, the Company exchanged 1,350,000 shares of common stock, at $0.36 per share, for an unsecured note payable with a principal balance of $1,550,000 and unpaid interest of $99,458. The transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment with a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,163,458 recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2016, principal in the amount of $100,000 was forgiven resulting in a loss on forgiveness of debt which has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
     
  (5) The subordinated note on Greene Point matured on October 1, 2015. Investors in the Greene Point note were entitled to an additional 5% equity in Wash/Greene, LLC, the entity that owns the facility, every six months if the note is not paid when due. Effective December 31, 2015, all of the holders of the Wash/Greene subordinated note executed an Agreement Among Lenders pursuant to which they (i) waived all equity ratchets and (ii) extended the maturity date of their notes to June 30, 2017. In exchange, Wash/Greene LLC agreed to pay the investors a one-time premium equal to 5% of the principal amount of each individual note (approximately $56,000) as such time as the note is repaid. The note was repaid on October 1, 2016.

 

Other mortgage loans contain financial and non-financial covenants, including reporting obligations, with which the Company has complied in some instances in an untimely manner.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As of December 31, 2016, we had the following contractual debt obligations:

 

   Total   Less Than 1 Year   1 – 3 Years   3 – 5 Years   More Than 5 Years 
Notes and Bonds Payable - Principal  $29,573,335   $19,264,438   $4,018,549   $6,290,348   $- 
Notes and Bonds Payable - Interest   1,862,972    925,368    870,310    67,294    - 
Convertible Notes Payable - Principal   3,200,000    3,200,000    -    -    - 
Convertible Notes Payable - Interest   156,000    156,000    -    -    - 
                          
Total Contractual Obligations  $34,792,307   $23,545,806   $4,888,859   $6,357,642   $- 

 

Revenues from operations are sufficient to meet the working capital needs of the Company for the foreseeable future. Cash on hand, combined proceeds from the issuance of our 10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate amount of $725,000 during 2016 and 2017 and revenues generated from operations, are in excess of operating expenses and debt service requirements. Debt maturities are expected to be refinanced at reasonable terms upon maturity. The Company anticipates a combination of conventional mortgage loans, at market rates, issuance of revenue bonds and possibly additional equity injections to fund the acquisition cost of any additional properties. Except for renovations at Grand Prairie and Southern Hills Retirement Center, there are no material capital improvement or recurring capital expenditure commitments at the properties.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that we consider material.

Subsequent Events

 

Senior Note Offering

 

During the first quarter of 2017, we sold an additional $125,000 in Senior Notes and Warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock, resulting in an aggregate of $725,000 in Senior Notes and Warrants being sold in the offering. 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

During the first quarter of 2017, we issued to each of our five (5) Directors an aggregate of 52,632 shares of common stock, valued at $0.57 per share, as their annual compensation for the year 2017.

 

During the first quarter of 2017, we issued Mr. Baller, our CEO, an aggregate of 174,000 shares of common stock, valued at $0.40 per share, as compensation for his services as CEO for the third and fourth quarter of 2016.

 

During the first quarter of 2017, we issued to Mr. Rhine, our CFO, an aggregate of 87,000 shares of common stock, valued at $0.40 per share, as compensation for his services as CFO for the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

In April 2017, we issued Mr. Baller, our CEO, an aggregate of 86,364 shares of common stock, valued at $0.44 per share, for compensation for his services as CEO for the first quarter of 2017, and an additional 29,269 shares of common stock as a bonus for services rendered in connection with the Abbeville transaction described below.

 

In April 2017, we issued Mr. Rhine, our CFO, an aggregate of 86,364 shares of common stock, valued at $0.44 per share, for compensation for his services as CFO for the first quarter of 2017, and an additional 29,269 shares of common stock as a bonus for services rendered in connection with the Abbeville transaction described below.

 

Abbeville Health & Rehab

 

On April 4, 2017, we successfully bid at foreclosure sale to purchase a 101 bed skilled nursing facility located In Abbeville, Georgia. We formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Abbeville Property, LLC (“GAP”) for the purpose of bidding on the facility. Colony Bank, the senior lender on the facility, was the party undertaking the foreclosure in light of the default of the prior owner.

 

The purchase price for the Abbeville facility was $2.1 million which was entirely financed by Colony Bank through a newly approved closed-end revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $2.6 million. The additional $500,000 under the credit line will be used for renovations on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis. Consummation of the Abbeville purchase will likely occur in the third quarter of 2017.

 

The facility was closed in March 2016 due to uncured deficiencies. On March 17, 2017, in anticipation of our purchase of the facility, the State of Georgia approved a six month conditional Certificate of Need (“CON”) to allow us to complete renovations and reopen the property. Under ASC 805 and 805.50, management determined that the transaction, once completed, will be accounted for as an acquisition of asset, not an acquisition of business, because it includes business input but not a process or output.

 

Renewal of Senior Note on Goodwill

 

In the first quarter of 2017, we renewed our senior loan with First Commercial Bank for an additional three (3) years. The renewed note bears interest at a rate of 5.50% and requires 35 monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $27,982 and a final payment of principal and unpaid interest at maturity on March 19, 2020.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

 

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to provide assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

 31 
   

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2016. Our CEO and CFO concluded we have a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties and a limited corporate governance structure. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our system of internal control. Therefore, while there are some compensating controls in place, it is difficult to ensure effective segregation of accounting and financial reporting duties. Management reported a material weakness resulting from the combination of the following significant deficiencies:

 

  Lack of segregation of duties in certain accounting and financial reporting processes including the initiation, processing, recording and approval of disbursements;
     
  Lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review.

 

While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff. We believe that this is typical in many new ventures. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the SEC rules that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board Meeting and Compensation

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, meetings of the Board of Directors were held both in person and telephonically, and business of the board was also conducted by written unanimous consent. There were four meetings of the Board during 2016. All Board members attended 100% of the Board meetings. Directors are entitled to reimbursement of their expenses associated with attendance at such meeting or otherwise incurred in connection with the discharge of their duties as a Director.

 

During fiscal 2016, the entire Board of Directors assumed all responsibilities of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees. The board had no formal standing committees, but plans to create those committees when it determines that those committees would be beneficial. No member of the Audit, Compensation or Nominating Committees will receive any additional compensation for his service as a member of that Committee.

 

 34 
   

 

During fiscal 2014, the Board adopted the Director Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which each Director of the Company, whether or not independent, and whether or not such Director holds any other position with the Company, including any position as an executive officer, shall be entitled to an annual grant of restricted common stock in compensation for services during the year of grant, determined as follows:

 

  1. The grant to each Director shall consist of restricted shares of common stock of the Company having a Market Value equal to $30,000. For the purposes of the Plan, “Market Value” shall mean the closing price of the Company’s common stock on its principal trading market on the first trading day of the calendar year for which the grant is made.
     
  2. All shares granted to Directors under the Plan shall be fully vested on the date of grant.
     
  3. Should the Company determine that it is obligated to withhold payroll taxes from the Award, the undersigned Director will consent to the Company reducing the Award to the extent necessary to satisfy such obligation. Should the Company not withhold payroll taxes, each Director receiving a grant under the Plan shall be responsible for any and all federal, state or local taxes assessed as a result of such grant and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company for any liability therefore.

 

The first grant under the Plan was effective January 1, 2015, and consisted of 33,333 shares of restricted common stock issued to each Director of the five directors on that date, for a total of166,665 shares. Two additional directors joined the Board during the year and received 17,442 shares each, for a total 34,884 shares. For the year, a total of 201,549 shares were issued under the Plan. The second grant date was effective January 1, 2016, and consisted of 45,455 shares of restricted common stock issued to each of the five Directors on that date, for a total of 227,275 shares issued to date under the Plan for 2016. The third grant date was January 1, 2017, and consisted of 52,632 shares of common stock issued to each of the five Directors, for a total of 263,160 shares issued under the Plan for 2017.

 

Director Independence

 

Our common stock is listed on the OTCQB inter-dealer quotation systems, which does not have director independence requirements. Nevertheless, for purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definition set forth in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). Mr. Andy Sink and Mr. Adam Desmond would be considered “independent” under the NASDAQ rule.

 

Audit Committee

 

The Board as a whole serves as the audit committee.

 

For this purpose, an audit committee member is deemed to be independent if he does not possess any vested interests related to those of management and does not have any financial, family or other material personal ties to management.

 

 35 
   

 

The committee is responsible for accounting and internal control matters. The audit committee:

 

  - reviews with management and the independent auditors policies and procedures with respect to internal controls;
     
  - reviews significant accounting matters;
     
  - approves any significant changes in accounting principles of financial reporting practices;
     
  - reviews independent auditor services; and
     
  - recommends to the board of directors the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements.

 

In addition to its regular activities, the committee is available to meet with the independent registered public accounting firm or controller whenever a special situation arises.

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors will adopt a written charter, which, when adopted, will be filed with the Commission.

 

Compensation Advisory Committee

 

The composition of the compensation advisory committee has not been determined.

 

The compensation advisory committee did not meet during fiscal 2016. The compensation advisory committee will, when appointed:

 

  - recommend to the board of directors the compensation and cash bonus opportunities based on the achievement of objectives set by the compensation advisory committee with respect to our chairman of the board and president, our chief executive officer and the other executive officers;
     
  - administer our compensation plans for the same executives;
     
  - determine equity compensation for all employees;
     
  - review and approve the cash compensation and bonus objectives for the executive officers; and
     
  - review various matters relating to employee compensation and benefits.

 

Nomination Process

 

The Board of Directors has not appointed a standing nomination committee and does not intend to do so during the upcoming year. The process of determining director nominees has been addressed by the board as a whole, which consists of five members. The board has not adopted a charter to govern the director nomination process.

 

The board of directors has not adopted a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders, since to date the board has not received from any security holder a director nominee recommendation. The board of directors will consider candidates recommended by security holders in the future. Security holders wishing to recommended a director nominee for consideration should contact Mr. Lance Baller, Interim President, at the Company’s principal executive offices located in Greenwood Village, Colorado and provide to Mr. Baller, in writing, the recommended director nominee’s professional resume covering all activities during the past five years, the information required by Item 401 of Regulation S-K, and a statement of the reasons why the security holder is making the recommendation. Such recommendation must be received by the Company before December 31, 2017.

 

 36 
   

 

The board of directors believes that any director nominee must possess significant experience in business and/or financial matters as well as a particular interest in the Company’s activities.

 

Shareholder Communications

 

Any shareholder of the Company wishing to communicate to the board of directors may do so by sending written communication to the board of directors to the attention of Mr. Lance Baller, Interim President, at the principal executive offices of the Company. The board of directors will consider any such written communication at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

Any transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders, or other affiliates have been and will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties on an arms-length basis and will be approved by a majority of the Company’s independent, outside disinterested directors.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all of our directors, officers and employees during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Such request should be made in writing and addressed to Investor Relations, Global Healthcare REIT, Inc., at the Company’s principal executive offices located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Further, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and can be reviewed on the website maintained by the SEC at www.SEC.gov.

 

There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent (5%) of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

During the last ten (10) years no director or officer of the Company has:

 

(1) had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 

(2) been convicted in a criminal proceeding or subject to a pending criminal proceeding;

 

(3) been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

 

(4) been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

 

Any transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders, or other affiliates have been and will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties on an arms-length basis and will be approved by a majority of the Company’s independent, outside disinterested directors.

Indemnification and Limitation on Liability of Directors

 

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Utah law, any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the former or present official of the person, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Utah Business Corporation Act. Specifically, directors of the Company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of certain statutory or contractual restrictions, (iv) violations of certain laws, or (v) any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. Liability under federal securities law is not limited by the Articles. The officers of the Company will dedicate sufficient time to fulfill their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s affairs. The Company has no retirement, pension or profit sharing plans for its officers and Directors.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company’s Directors, its Executive (and certain other) Officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s common stock are required to report their ownership of the Company’s common stock and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established and the Company is required to report in this Report any failure to file by these dates. All of these filing requirements were satisfied by our Officers, Directors, and ten-percent holders except for Mr. Bathgate, former Director, failed to file one (1) report covering one (1) transaction in a timely fashion; Mr. Baller failed to file two (2) reports covering four (4) transactions in a timely fashion; Mr. Sink and Mr. Rhine each failed to file one (1) report covering one (1) transaction in a timely fashion; Mr. Neuman failed to file two (2) reports covering two (2) transactions in a timely fashion and Mr. Taylor failed to file one (1) report covering one (1) transaction in a timely fashion. In making these statements, the Company has relied on the written representation of its Directors and Officers or copies of the reports that they have filed with the Commission.

Director Compensation

 

During fiscal 2014, the Board adopted the Director Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which each Director of the Company, whether or not independent, and whether or not such Director holds any other position with the Company, including any position as an executive officer, shall be entitled to an annual grant of restricted common stock in compensation for services during the year of grant, determined as follows:

 

  1. The grant to each Director shall consist of restricted shares of common stock of the Company having a Market Value equal to $30,000. For the purposes of the Plan, “Market Value” shall mean the closing price of the Company’s common stock on its principal trading market on the first trading day of the calendar year for which the grant is made.
     
  2. All shares granted to Directors under the Plan shall be fully vested on the date of grant.
     
  3. Should the Company determine that it is obligated to withhold payroll taxes from the Award, the undersigned Director will consent to the Company reducing the Award to the extent necessary to satisfy such obligation. Should the Company not withhold payroll taxes, each Director receiving a grant under the Plan shall be responsible for any and all federal, state or local taxes assessed as a result of such grant and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company for any liability therefore.

 

The first grant under the Plan was effective January 1, 2015, and consisted of 33,333 shares of restricted common stock issued to each Director of the five directors on that date, for a total of 166,665 shares. Two additional directors joined the Board during the year and received 17,442 shares each, for a total 34,884 shares. For the year, a total of 201,549 shares were issued under the Plan. The second grant date was effective January 1, 2016, and consisted of 45,455 shares of restricted common stock issued to each of the five Directors on that date, for a total of 227,275 shares issued to date under the Plan for 2016. The third grant date was January 1, 2017, and consisted of 52,632 shares of common stock issued to each of the five Directors, for a total of 263,160 shares issued under the Plan for 2017.

Company Stock Incentive Plans

 

In 1993, the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of the Company adopted the Global Casinos, Inc., Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). An aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock is reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2016, no options were outstanding under the Plan and all options to purchase shares of Common Stock have expired. The Plan has terminated in accordance with its terms, and as a result no shares are available for future option grants.

 

Equity Awards at Year End

 

There were no unexercised options, unvested stock awards or equity incentive plan awards for any named executive officer outstanding as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

In March 2015, the Board of Directors appointed Ryan Scates to the office of Executive Vice President. In consideration of his services, Mr. Scates received $10,000 per quarter, payable in arrears in restricted shares of common stock valued at the closing price of the common stock on the last day of each quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Mr. Scates was issued 16,601 shares of common stock with a fair value of $14,667.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Messrs. Baller, Rhine and Sink were each granted 250,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $0.40 per share as stock based compensation for services rendered in their capacities of CEO, CFO and COO, respectively.

 

For the third and fourth quarter of 2016, Messrs. Baller and Rhine were each granted 87,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $38,000 per quarter for services rendered in their capacities of CEO and CFO, respectively.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

 

Throughout its history, the Company has experienced shortages in working capital and has relied, from time to time, upon loans from affiliates to meet immediate cash demands. There can be no assurance that these affiliates or other related parties will continue to provide funds to the Company in the future, as there is no legal obligation to provide such loans.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors of

Global Healthcare REIT, Inc.

Greenwood Village, Colorado

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule III as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GLOBAL HEALTHCARE REIT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Description of the Business

 

Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. (the Company or Global) was organized with the intent of operating as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for the purpose of investing in real estate and other assets related to the healthcare industry. Prior to the Company changing its name to Global Healthcare REIT, Inc. on September 30, 2013, the Company was known as Global Casinos, Inc. Global Casinos, Inc. operated two gaming casinos which were split-off and sold on September 30, 2013. Simultaneous with the split-off and sale of the gaming operations, the Company acquired West Paces Ferry Healthcare REIT, Inc. (WPF) in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby WPF was deemed to be the accounting acquirer.

 

The Company intends to make a REIT election under sections 856 through 859 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Such election will be made by the Board of Directors at such time as the Board determines that we qualify as a REIT under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The Company acquires, develops, leases, manages and disposes of healthcare real estate, and provides financing to healthcare providers. As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned eight healthcare properties which are leased to third-party operators under triple-net operating terms.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIE’s) for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary. Third party equity interests in subsidiaries and VIE’s are recognized as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE if the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the Company. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which the Company has control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement.

 

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which the Company has an investment is a VIE. The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, determining if the equity investors as a group have a controlling financial interest in the entity and if the entity has sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates included herein relate to the recoverability of assets, the purchase price allocation for properties acquired, and the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from estimates.

 

 F-6 
   

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash consisted of the following as of December 31:

 

   2016   2015 
         
Funds held in escrow related to construction projects  $-   $7 
           
Funds held in escrow under the terms of notes or bonds payable for purposes of paying future debt service costs   580,747    541,828 
           
   $580,747   $541,835 

 

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the change in restricted cash related to construction projects in the amounts of $0 and $205,703, respectively, has been presented in cash flows from investing activities. The change in restricted cash related to debt service of $(38,912) and $156,619 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, has been presented in cash flows from financing activities.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions that at times exceed the insured amount of $250,000 provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The excess amounts at December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $689,459 and $291,845, respectively. The Company believes the financial institutions it uses are credit worthy and stable. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.

 

Property and Equipment

 

In accordance with purchase accounting guidance established for entities under common control, the property and equipment acquired from entities under common control are stated at their carrying value on the date of acquisition. Property and equipment not acquired from entities under common control is recorded at its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is determined with the assistance from independent valuation specialists using recent sales of similar assets, market conditions or projected cash flows of properties using standard industry valuation techniques.

 

Upon acquisition of real estate properties, the Company determines the total purchase price of each property and allocates this price based on the fair value of tangible assets and intangible assets, if any, acquired and any liabilities assumed. Information used to determine fair value includes comparable sales values, discount rates, capitalization rates, and lease-up assumptions from a third party appraisal or other market sources.

 

Acquisition-related costs such as due diligence, legal and accounting fees are expensed as incurred.

 

 F-7 
   

 

Any subsequent betterments and improvements are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, and tenant improvements are depreciated over the remaining term of the lease. Useful lives of the assets are summarized as follows:

 

Land Improvements   15 years
Buildings and Improvements   30 years
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment   10 years

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of property and equipment may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the property for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. This estimate considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying amount of the property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property and equipment. Estimated fair value is determined with the assistance from independent valuation specialists using recent sales of similar assets, market conditions or projected cash flows of the property using standard industry valuation techniques.

 

Notes Receivable

 

The Company evaluates its notes receivable for impairment when it is probable the payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the note agreements. Once a note has been determined to be impaired, it is measured to establish the amount of the impairment, if any, based on the fair value of the note using present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate. If the fair value of the impaired note receivable is less than the recorded investment in the note, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

Deferred Loan Costs

 

Deferred loan costs are amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, deferred loan costs paid totaled $38,270 and $78,972, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $118,483 and $241,358, respectively. Accumulated amortization totaled $264,449 and $273,714 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Deferred loan cost amortization is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of a Company’s purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or whenever events change and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has occurred. Management initially performs a qualitative analysis of goodwill using qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than its carrying amount including goodwill. Such qualitative factors include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines through the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary, and performing the two-step impairment test is not required. (See Note 7: “Goodwill”)

 

 F-8 
   

 

Warrant Liability

 

Warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock with nonstandard antidilution provisions, regardless of the probability or likelihood that may conditionally obligate the issuer to ultimately transfer assets, are classified as liabilities and are recorded at their estimated fair value at each reporting period in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.” Any change in fair value of these warrants during the reporting period is recorded as a component of Other (Income) Expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s leases may be subject to annual escalations of the minimum monthly rent required under each lease. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. Cumulative adjustments associated with the straight-line rent requirement are reflected in Prepaid Expenses and Other in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $216,511 and $107,032 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Adjustments to reflect rental income on a straight-line basis totaled $109,481 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Rent receivables and unbilled deferred rent receivables are carried net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. An allowance is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet the contractual obligations under their lease agreements. The Company also maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivables arising from the straight line recognition of rents. Such allowances are charged to bad debt expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Our determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, lease guarantees and current economic conditions and other relevant factors.

 

When the lessee is the owner of any improvements, any lessee improvement allowance that is funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no deferred lease incentives recorded. Amortization of deferred lease incentives totaled $0 and $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provision of ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505”), which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances.

 

 F-9 
   

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company utilizes the methods of fair value measurement as described in ASC 820 to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

 

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company will elect to be taxed as a REIT at such a time as the Board of Directors, with the consultation of professional advisors, determines the Company qualifies as a REIT under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company cannot predict for which tax year that election will be made. Therefore, applicable taxes have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates resulting from new legislation is recognized in income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when management concludes that the “more likely than not” realization criteria has not been met. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained.

 

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes potential common shares if the effect would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock.

 

The following table details the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common shares used in diluted loss per share as of December 31:

 

   2016   2015 
         
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Used in Basic Loss Per Share   23,353,387    21,996,909 
           
Effect of Dilutive Securities:          
Common Stock Warrants   -    - 
Convertible Preferred Stock   -    - 
           
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares and Dilutive Potential Common Shares Used in Diluted Loss Per Share   23,353,387    21,996,909 

 

Comprehensive Income

 

For the periods presented, there were no differences between reported net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

 

 F-10 
   

 

Prior Period Adjustment

 

The Company determined that certain warrants issued in 2014, 2013 and 2012 which contained antidilution provisions were not recorded correctly in the consolidated financial statements. This error resulted in an understatement of a warrant liability and an overstatement of stockholders’ equity. The Company assessed the materiality of the warrant liability error on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (“SAB 99” and “SAB 108”) and concluded that the impact of such adjustments would have been material to the consolidated financial statements had they been corrected in their entirety in 2015. The Company also concluded that, had the error been corrected within its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, the impact of the adjustment would not have been material to that period. Therefore, the cumulative error as of January 1, 2015 has been recorded as a prior period adjustment in the amount of $(1,247,443) to Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit), resulting in a net adjustment to Stockholders’ Equity of $(1,247,443).

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a full retrospective or retrospective with cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 one year making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, there was minimal guidance in U.S. GAAP specific to going concern. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective December 31, 2016 and has included going concern disclosures in Note 2.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The new standard requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 and retrospectively applied the guidance to its Debt, Net for all periods presented. Unamortized deferred loan costs, which were previously included in Prepaid Expenses and Other, totaling $570,275 and $626,688 are included in Debt, Net as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. ASU 2016-18 must be applied using a retrospective transition method with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,292,474, reported net cash used in operations of $506,953 and has an accumulated deficit of $6,021,903. These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows to operate profitably and meet contractual obligations, or raise additional capital through debt financing or through sales of common stock.

 

The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows or obtain additional funding would be detrimental to the Company. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

5. NOTES RECEIVABLE

 

Note Receivable – Receiver for Healthcare Management of Oklahoma, LLC

 

On May 10, 2016, the Company obtained a Court Order appointing a receiver to control and operate the skilled nursing facility in Southern Hills, Tulsa. The former lease operator represented that it was unable to meet the financial commitments of the facility, including the payment of rent, payroll, and other operating requirements. The transition to the receiver resulted in our engaging a turnaround effort to restore viable operations at the facility. The Court ordered the Company to provide the receiver a revolving line of credit not to exceed $250,000 of which the Company advanced $150,000 during 2016. The receiver is to repay the revolving line of credit from the operation or sale of the facility or other sources. The Company has determined the note as no longer being collectible based on the ability to repay and has recorded bad debt expense of $150,000 in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Note Receivable - Healthcare Management of Oklahoma, LLC

 

On July 15, 2014, the Company entered into a $363,404 revolving line of credit with Healthcare Management of Oklahoma, LLC (“HMO”), the lease operator of the skilled nursing facility in Southern Hills, Tulsa, to be utilized for working capital needs related to the operation of the Southern Hills skilled nursing facility. The note matured on July 14, 2015 and earned interest at a fixed rate of 8%. The note was secured by accounts receivable and third-party personal guarantees.

 

On March 1, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving loan, replacing the note described above, in the amount of $250,000 which earns interest at a fixed rate of 8%. All unpaid principal and interest was due to the Company on February 29, 2016. The note was secured by all tangible and intangible property of the borrower. On July 22, 2015, the revolving loan was amended to increase the principal amount to $350,000.

 

During 2015, advances related to this note totaled $350,000 of which $150,000 was advanced as cash with the remaining $200,000 advanced to fund a security deposit held by the Company and make lease payments to the Company. Notwithstanding the fact that HMO has affirmed its obligation under the note, as of December 31, 2015, the Company determined this note to be no longer collectible based on ability to repay. Accordingly, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of $150,000 and reversed the security deposit and rent revenue transactions totaling $200,000 within the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

6. NOTES RECEIVABLE - RELATED PARTIES

   2016   2015 
           
Note Receivable - Gemini Gaming, LLC  $-   $573,428 

 

 F-13 
   

 

In connection with the split-off of gaming assets by Global, the Company accepted a note receivable in the amount of $962,373 from Gemini Gaming, LLC. The note bears interest at 4.0% and is payable in quarterly installments of $17,495 beginning on January 1, 2014 through maturity of the note on October 1, 2033. The note is secured by all rights, title, and interest in and to 100,000 shares of the membership interest in Gemini Gaming, LLC. In the event of default, the Company may not take possession of gaming assets or equipment or operate the casino unless duly licensed by the State of Colorado Division of Gaming.

 

On the acquisition date, the fair value of the note receivable was estimated by discounting the expected cash flows at a rate of 10.0%, a rate at which management believes a similar loan with similar terms and maturity would be made. As a result, the note receivable was discounted by $362,225 to its fair value of $600,148. The discount is accreted into earnings using the interest method over the term of the note. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, $0 and $16,691, respectively, has been accreted into earnings.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company collected an aggregate of $573,428 in repayment of the note from Gemini Gaming, LLC which the Company accepted in full satisfaction of the total outstanding liability under the note. The transaction resulted in the Company recognizing a nominal bad debt expense in the amount of $9,044 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Note Receivable – Limestone Assisted Living, LLC

 

The Company extended a loan to Limestone Assisted Living, LLC in the principal amount of $550,000 which is repayable, together with interest at the rate of 10% per annum, on or before the earlier of (i) August 31, 2014 or (ii) from the proceeds of the sale of the Limestone Assisted Living facility. The obligation of Limestone LLC to repay the loan is secured by the personal guarantee of Christopher Brogdon. Proceeds from the loan were used by Limestone LLC to repay and retire a loan in the principal amount of $500,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest, owed to an unaffiliated third party.

 

The loan was not paid by Limestone LLC as of August 31, 2014 which constituted an event of default. The maturity date of the loan was extended by agreement to August 31, 2015.

 

On March 25, 2015, the Limestone facility was sold and the note receivable in the amount of $550,000 due the Company was repaid in full, including accrued interest of $54,845.

 

Note Receivable – GL Investors, LLC

 

On February 4, 2014, the Company purchased the right to future distributions from a member of GL Investors, LLC in consideration of $100,000. The distribution right does not have a stated maturity date and earns interest at a rate of 13% per annum and is unsecured. During 2015, the Company determined the loan was no longer collectible based on the ability to repay. Accordingly, the Company recorded $100,000 as a bad debt expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

As a result of the transactions above, the Company recognized cash flows from collections on notes receivable – related parties of $573,428 and $574,719 during 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

7. GOODWILL

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and when management believes indicators of impairment exist. Due to the continued operating losses and cash flow deficiencies during 2015, the Company assessed qualitative factors and determined that it could not conclude it was more likely than not that the fair value of its goodwill exceeded its carrying value for the goodwill recorded. Accordingly, the Company proceeded to a quantitative evaluation of potential impairment of its goodwill. This evaluation was based on the income (or discounted cash flows) approach which concluded goodwill to be impaired in its entirety at December 31, 2015.

Convertible Notes Payable

 

6.5% Notes Due September, 2017

 

On September 26, 2014, the Company completed a private offering of its 6.5% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the amount of $3,200,000. The Notes can be called for redemption at the option of the Company at any time (i) after September 15, 2015 but prior to September 15, 2016 at an early redemption price equal to 103% of the face amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, or (ii) any time after September 15, 2016 but prior to September 15, 2017 at an early redemption price equal to 102% of the face amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Each Note is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.37 per share, which exceeded fair value of the common stock at the time of issuance. The Notes will automatically convert into common stock at the conversion price in the event (i) there exists a public market for the Company’s common stock, (ii) the closing price of the common stock in the principal trading market has been $2.00 per share or higher for the preceding ten (10) trading days, and (iii) either (A) there is an effective registration statement registering for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion shares or (B) the conversion shares are eligible to be resold by non-affiliates of the Company without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. At the time of issuance and based on the Company’s common stock trading activity, the Company determined that no beneficial conversion feature was associated with the Notes. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, none of the Notes have been converted into common stock.

The Notes are secured by a senior mortgage on the Meadowview Healthcare Center located in Seville, Ohio.

 

Senior Secured Promissory Notes

 

From November through December 2016, the Company commenced a private offering of its 10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate amount up to $1,000,000, on a best efforts basis. As of December 31, 2016, $600,000 of the notes have been issued of which $450,000 were issued to directors of the Company or entities or persons related to these directors. The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% payable monthly with principal and unpaid interest due at maturity on January 13, 2018. The notes are secured by all assets of the Company not serving as collateral for other notes.

 

The notes were issued with warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants have a cashless exercise provision. The value of the warrants issued to the note holders was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: stock price on date of measurement - $0.44, expected volatility – 139.1%, contractual term – 1 year, risk free interest rate – 0.87%, and expected dividend yield – 0.00%. The total value of the warrants on the issue date was estimated to be $102,280 and was bifurcated from the value of the note. The corresponding note discount is being amortized over the life of the note using the straight-line method. The unamortized balance of the discount on the note was $95,873 as of December 31, 2016 with $6,407 recorded as amortization expense during 2016.

  (1) As of December 31, 2016, the income from the Goodwill facility was insufficient to cover debt service for the subordinated debt for the facility. The debt is accruing interest at the default rate but not currently being paid. We are in discussions with the lenders to restructure the accrued interest into a new note to be amortized through future payments. The Company has entered into a new ten year operating lease covering the facility which became effective in February, 2017 with the new operator having obtained all licenses, permits and other regulatory approval necessary to recertify and reopen the facility. After receiving regulatory approvals, the lease operator invested approximately $2.0 million in capital improvements in the property. The facility has been relicensed and began taking patients in December 2016 and is currently building census.

Effective December 31, 2015, all of the holders of the Goodwill subordinated note executed an Agreement Among Lenders pursuant to which they (i) waived all equity ratchets and (ii) extended the maturity date of their notes to June 30, 2017. In exchange, Goodwill Hunting LLC agreed to pay the investors a one-time premium equal to 5% of the principal amount of each individual note (approximately $64,000) as such time as the note is repaid. For the year ended December 31, 2016, a premium of $64,000 has been recognized into earnings. The subordinated note on Sparta matured on August 1, 2016. Investors in the Sparta note are entitled to an additional 5% equity in Providence HR, LLC every six months if the note is not paid when due. The Company is negotiating with these investors to purchase their residual equity interests in exchange for shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that these negotiations will be successful.
     
  (3) We have applied to refinance the senior and subordinated debt at Sparta with a new HUD loan. To accommodate that application, in March 2017 the investors in Providence HR Investors, LLC, the holder of the subordinated debt, entered into a Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which the agreed to (i) waive the equity ratchet they were entitled to due to our failure to repay the debt on or before the maturity date (ii) waive the accrual of default interest and (iii) extend the maturity date of the subordinated debt to December 31, 2017.
     
  (4) Effective September 23, 2016, the Company exchanged 1,350,000 shares of common stock, at $0.36 per share, for an unsecured note payable with a principal balance of $1,550,000 and unpaid interest of $99,458. The transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment with a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,163,458 recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2016, principal in the amount of $100,000 was forgiven resulting in a gain on forgiveness of debt which has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investors in the Greene Point note were entitled to an additional 5% equity in Wash/Greene, LLC, the entity that owns the facility, every six months if the note is not paid when due. Effective December 31, 2015, all of the holders of the Wash/Greene subordinated note executed an Agreement Among Lenders pursuant to which they (i) waived all equity ratchets and (ii) extended the maturity date of their notes to June 30, 2017. In exchange, Wash/Greene LLC agreed to pay the investors a one-time premium equal to 5% of the principal amount of each individual note (approximately $56,000) as such time as the note is repaid. The note was repaid on October 1, 2016.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of debt of $600,000 and $2,566,854, respectively. Cash payments on debt totaled $1,701,416 and $2,937,880 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(1) Monthly lease income reflects rent income on a straight-line basis over, where applicable, the term of each lease.
(2) On January 22, 2016, a lease operator that operates Middle Georgia, Edwards Redeemer, Golden Years (until January 1, 2016) and Goodwill filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Under the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the lease operator can either assume or reject the leases of Middle Georgia, Edwards Redeemer and Goodwill. As of the date of this Report, the lease operator has verbally represented that he intends to assume the leases of Middle Georgia and Edwards Redeemer under modified lease terms and has rejected the lease covering Goodwill. If the lease operator assumes a lease, he is required to bring the leases current as a condition to such assumption.
(3) In January 2016, concurrently with the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing by the lease operator, the Goodwill facility was closed by Georgia regulators and all residents were removed. The Goodwill facility began generating rental revenue in February 2017. In the first year, base rent is $16,667 per month, plus $2,000 per month for every ten occupied beds. In a transaction related to the sale of the Greene Point facility, an affiliate of the buyer of Greene Point has executed a ten year operating lease covering Goodwill. The lease will not become effective until and unless the State of Georgia approves the issuance of all licenses, permits and other regulatory approvals necessary to recertify and reopen the facility. The former lease has been terminated. After receiving regulatory approvals, the lease operator invested approximately $2.0 million in capital improvements in the property. The lease became effective on February 1, 2017 with the lease operator having obtained all regulatory approvals, completed renovations and began admitting patients.
(4)

Effective January 1, 2016, the Golden Years facility was leased to another operator for a period of ten years at a monthly base rent of $30,000 which was subject to increases based on census levels. Under the terms of the lease, the Company agreed to fund certain capital expenditures, which it was unable to fulfill. In July 2016, the new tenant served notice that it was terminating the lease effective August 31, 2016. The Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement under which it paid the tenant $145,000 and is obligated to make future payments. Effective August 30, 2016, the Company entered into a new lease agreement with another nursing home operator for its Golden Years facility. The lease term commences at the end of a straddle period, the definition of which is currently under negotiation with the tenant. During the straddle period, the Company has agreed to make working capital advances to enable the operator to cover cash flow deficits resulting from initial operations of the facility. If at the end of the straddle period, the operator has not reimbursed the full amount of advances to the Company, the Company or operator have the right to terminate the lease agreement. As of December 31, 2016, $230,000  has been advanced to the operator by the Company--$150,000 required by the lease for capital improvements booked to tenant improvements that is not reimbursable, and $80,000 to cover tenant’s cash flow deficits during the straddle period. If the lease term commences, the Company will receive monthly base rents beginning at $35,000 which is subject to increases based on census levels.

(5) Lease agreement dated May 21, 2014 with lease payments commencing February 1, 2015. On May 10, 2016, the Company obtained a Court Order appointing a Receiver to control and operate the Southern Hills SNF. The former lease operator represented that it was unable to meet the financial commitments of the facility, including the payment of rent, payroll and other operating requirements. The Company plans to engage a new lease operator for the facility.
(6) The lease on the ALF has been abandoned. The Company plans to seek a new tenant for this entity to assume operations at the completion of construction.
(7) The Southern Hills ILF requires renovation and is not subject to an operating lease.

 

Lessees are responsible for payment of insurance, taxes and other charges while under the lease. Should the lessees not pay all such charges, as required under the leases, the Company may become liable for such operating expenses. We have been required to cover those expenses at Goodwill since the facility was closed by regulators in January 2016 and at Southern Hills ALF and ILF.

 

Future cash payments for rent to be received during the initial terms of the leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (excludes Middle Georgia and Edwards Redeemer (due to pending bankruptcy of operator), and Southern Tulsa ALF and Southern Tulsa ILF (due to property being non-operating) , as well as Southern Tulsa SNF and GL Nursing):

12. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on income arising in, or derived from, the tax jurisdictions in which they operate. The Company is current with all its federal and state tax filings. The Company is open to examination for tax years 1998 through 2016 due to the carry back of net operating losses.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage for the years ended December 31:

 

   2016   2015 
         
Statutory Federal Income Tax Rate   34%   34%
Warrant Liability   34    - 
Effect of Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets   (34)   (34)
           
    -%   -%

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

 

The components of deferred tax assets as of December 31 are as follows:

 

   2016   2015 
Deferred Tax Assets:          
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards  $

3,704,378

   $3,615,115 
Capital Loss Carryforward   -    99,137 
Discount on Note Receivable   -    109,976

Valuation Allowance   

(3,439,719

)   (3,296,953)
           
Net Deferred Tax Asset  $-   $- 

 

The valuation allowance at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was primarily related to federal net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $10,895,000 prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards beginning in 2018. Taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2016 approximated $263,000. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance at December 31, 2016.

 

 F-23 
   

 

When more than a 50% change in ownership occurs, over a three-year period, as defined, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards in the years following the change in ownership. No determination has been made as of December 31, 2016, as to what implications, if any, there will be in the net operating loss carry forwards of the Company.

 

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Our consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, advances to related parties, notes receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, debt and lease security deposit. We consider the carrying values of our short-term financial instruments to approximate fair value because they generally expose the Company to limited credit risk, because of the short period of time between origination of the financial assets and liabilities and their expected settlement, or because of their proximity to acquisition date fair values. The carrying value of debt approximates fair value based on borrowing rates currently available for debt of similar terms and maturities.

 

Upon acquisition of real estate properties, the Company determines the total purchase price of each property and allocates this price base on the fair value of the tangible assets and intangible assets, if any, acquired and any liabilities assumed based on Level 3 inputs. These Level 3 inputs can include comparable sales values, discount rates, and capitalization rates from a third party appraisal or other market sources.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31 are summarized below:

 

       Fair Value Measurement 
   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
                 
Warrant Liability – December 31, 2016  $246,451    -    -   $246,451 
                     
 Warrant Liability – December 31, 2015  $304,536    -    -   $304,536 

 

Because these warrants have full reset adjustments tied to future issuance of equity securities by the Company, it is subject to derivative liability treatment under ASC 815-40-15.

 

The warrant liability is marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded as a gain or loss within Other (Income) Expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations until the warrants are exercised, expire, or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified as an equity instrument. The fair value of the warrant liability is determined each reporting period by utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

 F-24 
   

 

The table presented below is a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s level 3 valuation for the warrant liability for the years ended December 31:

 

   2016   2015 
         
Beginning Balance  $304,536   $1,247,443 
           
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability   (58,085)   (638,172)
Exercise of Warrants   -    (304,735)
           
Ending Balance  $246,451   $304,536 

 

The significant assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 include the following:

15. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

 

The Company and/or its affiliated subsidiaries are or were involved in the following litigation:

 

We were a party to a civil action captioned Summers v. West Paces Ferry Healthcare REIT, Inc., Southern Tulsa, LLC and SC CCRC, LLC, No. CJ-2015-3048 in the District Court in and for Tulsa County, Oklahoma (the “Action”). The Action involved a personal injury claim brought by the heirs of a former resident of the Skilled Nursing Facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma owned by a subsidiary of the Company. This case has been dismissed.

 

 F-25 
   

 

Southern Tulsa, LLC v. Healthcare Management of Oklahoma, LLC, District Court of Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, Case No. CJ – 2016- 01781.

 

This matter was brought by us to have the appointment of a Receiver for the Southern Tulsa SNF and to recover damages from our former operator at that facility. The Court has ordered the appointment of a Receiver effective May 10, 2016. Other claims and matters are pending.

 

Joann Howard v. Southern Tulsa, LLC, West Paces Ferry Healthcare REIT, LLC, et. al. District Court of Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, Case No. CJ- 2015-03048.

 

This was a personal injury lawsuit brought by the heirs of a former resident of the Southern Tulsa SNF. Our affiliates were named as defendants due to their ownership of the property. This case has been dismissed.

 

Gregory D. Hughes, Esq. v. Janis M Tilford, et. al., Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, Civil Action File No. 16-1-2391-49.

 

This civil action arises from the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company’s subsidiary TNH Acquisition, LLC to acquire the skilled nursing facility in Ridgeway, South Carolina. The dispute is over the disposition of our $100,000 earnest money deposit which the escrow agent has interpleaded into the Court. This matter was settled in 2016.

 

Thomas v. Edwards Redeemer Property Holdings, LLC, et.al., District Court for Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, Case No. CJ 2016-2160.

 

This action arises from a personal injury claim brought by heirs of a former resident of our Edwards Redeemer facility. We are entitled to indemnification from the lease operator and should be covered under the lease operator’s general liability policy. As we are not the operators of the facility and believe we have indemnity coverage, we believe we have no exposure. The lease operator’s insurance carrier is providing a defense and indemnity; and as a result we believe the likelihood of a material adverse result is remote.

 

Verizon Construction, Inc., v. Southern Tulsa, LLC, et. al., District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, Case No. CJ-2015-04326.

 

This is a mechanic’s lien foreclosure action on the Southern Hills facility in Tulsa arising from work performed. The Plaintiff was a subcontractor to our general contractor; and while we paid the general contractor for that work, the general contractor apparently did not pay the subcontractor. Plaintiff is seeking $441,939 previously invoiced to the general contractor, plus attorney’s fees and costs. The general contractor, also a named defendant, is liable for this amount but may not have the resources to pay the plaintiff, therefore the Company may be liable for some unknown amount less than or equal to Plaintiff’s claim. The Company has accrued $25,000 as a probable loss for this matter in the 2016 consolidated financial statements based on informal negotiations to date. The plaintiff has verbally agreed to settle the matter for $25,000 and is reviewing a formal Settlement Agreement which we have provided.

 

16. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

Abbeville Health & Rehab

 

On April 4, 2017, we successfully bid at foreclosure sale to purchase a 101 bed skilled nursing facility located In Abbeville, Georgia. The transaction has not yet closed and the company does not yet legally own the facility. We formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Abbeville Property, LLC (“GAP”) for the purpose of bidding on the facility. Colony Bank, the senior lender on the facility, was the party undertaking the foreclosure in light of the default of the prior owner.

 

The purchase price for the Abbeville facility was $2.1 million which was entirely financed by Colony Bank through a newly approved closed-end revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $2.6 million. The additional $500,000 under the credit line will be used for renovations on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis.

 

The facility was closed in March 2016 due to uncured deficiencies. On March 17, 2017, in anticipation of our purchase of the facility, the State of Georgia approved a six month conditional Certificate of Need (“CON”) to allow us to complete renovations and reopen the property. Under ASC 805 and 805.50, management determined that the transaction, when completed, will be accounted for as an acquisition of asset, not an acquisition of business, because it includes business input but not a process or output.

 

Renewal of Senior Note on Goodwill

 

During the first quarter of 2017, we entered into a renewal of the senior secured loan on Goodwill held by First Commercial Bank for an additional three years. The renewed note bears interest at a rate of 5.50% and requires 35 monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $27,982 and a final payment of principal and unpaid interest at maturity on March 19, 2020.
