1. Organization

 

Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. (“Summit”) is a real estate investment trust that owns 100% of five properties, 95% of five properties, a 10% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity-method investment that holds 17 properties and a 20% equity interest in two unconsolidated equity-method investments that each holds two properties. Summit is a Maryland corporation, formed in 2004 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of investing in and owning real estate. As used in these notes, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Summit and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.

 

We conduct substantially all of our operations through Summit Healthcare Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), which is a Delaware limited partnership. As of March 31, 2017, we own a 99.88% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership, and Cornerstone Realty Advisors, LLC (“CRA”), a former affiliate, owns a 0.12% limited partnership interest. Our financial statements and the financial statements of the Operating Partnership are consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

We own 95% of Cornerstone Healthcare Partners LLC (“CHP LLC”), which was formed in 2012, and the remaining 5% non-controlling interest is owned by Cornerstone Healthcare Real Estate Fund, Inc.

Friendswood TRS (“Friendswood TRS”) is our wholly-owned TRS and the licensed operator and tenant of Friendship Haven Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center (“Friendship Haven”) (see Note 3).

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

For more information regarding our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2017. There have been no material changes to our policies since that filing.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. We assume that users of these condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited December 31, 2016 consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2017 and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation, except in regard to material contingencies, may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 have been omitted in this report.

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and CHP LLC (of which the Company owns 95%). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   

The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.  

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments apply to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows. The amendments address diversity in practice that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows.

 

The amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.

 

 Page 8 of 30 

 

 

 

The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements; however, once adopted, restricted cash will be presented with cash and cash equivalents in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and, at March 31, 2017, that amount was approximately $4.0 million.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We continue to evaluate the impact of our adoption of this new standard in 2019 and we estimate the effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements could be approximately $0.3 million, as we have an operating lease that will be added to the assets and liabilities of our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As generally accepted accounting principles for lessors remains mostly unchanged, we do not expect it to have an impact on our leases from our tenants.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We continue to evaluate the impact of our adoption of this new standard in 2018 but we do not expect this to have a significant effect on our rental revenue in our condensed consolidated financial statements since our rental revenue relates to triple net leases, and we are still evaluating the impact this may have on our non-lease components, resident services and fee income.

Leasing Commissions

 

As a self-managed REIT, we no longer pay leasing commissions. Leasing commissions are capitalized at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total costs incurred were $2.2 million and the unamortized balance of capitalized leasing commissions was approximately $1.4 million. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $35,000 and $40,000, respectively. 

 

4. Loans Payable

 

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, loans payable consisted of the following:

 

   March 31, 2017   December 31, 2016 
Loan payable to Healthcare Financial Solutions, LLC in monthly installments of approximately $15,000, including interest at LIBOR (floor of 0.50%) plus 4.0% (5.0% at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively), due in October 2018, and collateralized by Sundial Assisted Living.  $2,800,000   $2,800,000

Loans payable to Lancaster Pollard (insured by HUD) in monthly installments of approximately $209,000, including interest, ranging from a fixed rate of 3.70% to 3.78%, due in September 2039 through January 2051, and collateralized by Sheridan, Fernhill, Pacific Health, Shelby, Hamlet, Carteret, Aledo and Danby.   43,551,000    43,768,000 
    53,303,000    53,546,000 
Less debt issuance costs   (1,795,000)   (1,829,000)
Total loans payable  $51,508,000   $51,717,000 

 

As of March 31, 2017, we have total debt obligations of approximately $53.3 million that will mature between 2018 and 2051. See Note 3 for loans payable balance for each property. All of the loans payable have certain financial and non-financial covenants, including ratios and financial statement considerations. As of March 31, 2017 we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

 

In connection with our loans payable, we incurred debt issuance costs. The unamortized balance of the debt issuance costs was approximately $1.8 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of their respective financing agreements using the straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest rate method. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, $34,000 and $34,000, respectively, of debt issuance costs were amortized and included in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

 Page 11 of 30 

 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of interest expense (excluding debt issuance costs amortization) related to our loans payable. 

 

The principal payments due on the loans payable (excluding debt issuance costs) for the period from April 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 and for each of the four following years and thereafter ending December 31 are as follows:

The principal payment portion of this loan payment commencing in February 2017 will be held in a sinking fund until maturity date. If the loan is refinanced prior to the maturity date, the loan payments in the sinking fund will be released to us, otherwise at maturity date, the loan payments in the sinking fund will be released to the lender and applied to the outstanding principal balance. Additionally, the loan is collateralized by the property and cross-guaranteed with several properties owned by the SUL JV, which will be released from the guarantee when the property is refinanced with a HUD insured loan or upon repayment at the maturity date.

During 2015, we contributed our limited liability company interests in six properties (“JV 2 Properties”) to the SUL JV and retained a 10% interest in those six properties. Concurrent with this contribution, the Operating Partnership recorded a receivable for approximately $362,000 for distributions that could not be paid prior to the contribution of the JV 2 Properties due to cash restrictions related to the loans payable for the contributed JV 2 Properties.

On February 28, 2017, through the Fantasia II JV, we acquired a 20% interest in two SNF senior housing facilities, located in Rhode Island, for a total aggregate purchase price of $27 million for the properties, which was funded through capital contributions from the members of the Fantasia II JV plus the proceeds from a collateralized loan. The facilities consist of a total of 318 licensed beds, and are operated by and leased to a third party operator.

 Page 14 of 30 

 

 

Nantucket Note

 

On January 7, 2015, through our Operating Partnership, we sold Sherburne Commons to The Residences at Sherburne Commons, Inc. (“Sherburne Buyer”), an unaffiliated Massachusetts non-profit corporation, in exchange for $5.0 million, as evidenced by a purchase money note from Sherburne Buyer to us as the lender.

 

The $5.0 million purchase money note is collateralized by the Sherburne Commons property, bears an annual interest rate of 3.5% and matures on December 31, 2017. Interest payments on the note are due monthly and are recorded as payments are received. Outstanding and unpaid principal due shall be paid from the net proceeds payable to Sherburne Buyer from the sale of the residential cottages in Sherburne Commons. We may also participate in additional interest of up to $1 million from 50% of the net proceeds of cottage sales through December 31, 2018.

 

As of March 31, 2017, we have not collected any funds related to the principal on the note and the net carrying amount of the note receivable was approximately $4.7 million.

7. Related Party Transactions

 

CRA

 

Prior to the termination of our advisory agreement on April 1, 2014 with CRA (our former advisor, a related party), we incurred costs related to fees paid and costs reimbursed for services rendered to us by CRA through March 31, 2014. Some of the fees we had paid to CRA were considered to be in excess of allowed amounts and, therefore, CRA was required to reimburse us for the amount of the excess costs we paid to them. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the receivables from CRA are fully reserved due to the uncertainty of collectability and are included in tenant and other receivables in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had the following receivables and reserves:

 

   Receivables   Reserves   Balance 
Organizational and offering costs  $738,000   $(738,000)  $- 
Asset management fees and expenses   32,000    (32,000)   - 
Operating expenses (direct and indirect)   189,000    (189,000)   - 
Operating expenses (2%/25% Test)   1,717,000    (1,717,000)   - 
Total Real Estate Properties  $2,676,000   $(2,676,000)  $- 

 

Equity-Method Investments

 

See Note 5 for further discussion of distributions and acquisition and asset management fees related to our Equity-Method Investments.

8. Concentration of Risk

 

Our cash is generally invested in investment-grade short-term instruments. As of March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalent accounts in excess of FDIC-insured limits. However, we do not believe the risk associated with this excess is significant. 

 

As of March 31, 2017, we owned one property in California, three properties in Oregon, four properties in North Carolina, one property in Texas, and one property in Illinois. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to economic conditions in certain states.

 

Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, we leased our 10 real estate properties to four different tenants under long-term triple net leases, two of which comprise 58% and 34% percent of our tenant rental revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we leased our 12 healthcare properties to six different tenants under long-term triple net leases, two of which comprised 44% and 26% of our tenant rental revenue.

 

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have one tenant that constitutes a significant asset concentration, as the net assets of the tenant exceeds 20% of our total assets.

 

9. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

 

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, notes receivable, deposits, tenant and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued salaries and benefits, security deposits and loans payable. With the exception of the Nantucket note receivable (see Note 6) and loans payable discussed below, we consider the carrying values to approximate fair value for such financial instruments because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected payment.

 

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Nantucket note receivable (see Note 6) was approximately $4.9 million compared to the carrying value of approximately $4.7 million. The fair value of the note receivable was estimated based on cash flow analysis at an assumed market rate of interest. As the inputs to our valuation estimate are neither observable in nor supported by market activity, our notes receivable are classified as Level 3 assets within the fair value hierarchy.

 

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of loans payable was approximately $54.1 million and $54.3 million compared to the carrying value of approximately $53.3 million and $53.5 million, respectively. The fair value of loans payable is estimated using lending rates available to us for financial instruments with similar terms and maturities. To estimate fair value as of March 31, 2017, we utilized a discount rate ranging from 4.4% to 7.3% and a weighted-average discount rate of 4.8%. As the inputs to our valuation estimate are neither observable in nor supported by market activity, our loans payable are classified as Level 3 assets within the fair value hierarchy.

 

As a result of our ongoing analysis for potential impairment of our investments in real estate, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of certain assets to their estimated fair values, or estimated fair value less selling costs, under certain circumstances. No impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. 

 

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we do not have any financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

We conduct a Phase I assessment for each of our properties at acquisition to evaluate whether hazardous or toxic substances are present on the properties. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

 

 Page 16 of 30 

 

 

Our commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and licensed operators in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are also subject to contingent losses resulting from litigation against the Company.

 

On April 1, 2014, CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange-Central Justice Center, Case No. 30-2014-00714004-CU-BT-CJC, naming the Company, its directors and two of its officers as defendants, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages. On April 17, 2014, Judge Nakamura denied in its entirety plaintiffs’ ex parte application for a temporary restraining order to show cause why a preliminary injunction against the defendants should not issue.  On May 19, 2014, the Company filed a counter claim against plaintiffs and certain individuals affiliated with CRA and affiliated entities. The Company continues to believe that all of plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself. Plaintiffs and defendants are conducting discovery. We have filed motions for summary adjudication on CRA’s claims against us and the other defendants and our claims against CRA. The court has heard oral argument on the motions for summary adjudication and taken the motions under submission. A trial is scheduled to start August 28, 2017.

 

A bankruptcy petition was filed against Healthcare Real Estate Partners, LLC (“HCRE”) by the investors in Healthcare Real Estate Fund, LLC or Healthcare Real Estate Qualified Purchasers Fund, LLC. Following the dismissal of the involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against it, in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware HCRE filed a motion for attorneys’ fees and damages and a separate complaint for violation of the automatic stay against the petitioning creditors and the Company. At a status hearing, the Bankruptcy Court expressed concern about HCRE commencing this litigation and urged the parties to mediate the issues. A mediation was held but the parties did not reach a settlement. The Company believes that all of HCRE’s claims are without merit and will vigorously defend itself.

 

Friendship Haven and HMG Services Management Agreement

 

Under our three-year management agreement with HMG (see Note 3), dated January 1, 2017, either party may terminate the agreement by written notice to the other party. However, if we terminate the agreement within one year, we are obligated to pay a termination fee up to three times the highest monthly management fee paid to HMG prior to the termination. For 2017, we expect the termination fee could be approximately $92,000.

 

Indemnification and Employment Agreements

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and directors against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any proceeding. Additionally, in September 2015, we entered into three-year employment agreements with our officers which include customary terms relating to salary, bonus, position, duties and benefits (including eligibility for equity compensation), as well as a cash payment following a change in control of the Company, as defined in such agreements.

 

Management of our Equity-Method Investments

 

As the manager of our Equity-Method Investments, we are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and are, thus, subject to contingencies that may arise in the normal course of their operations. Additionally, we could be subject to a capital call from our Equity-Method Investments.

 

11. Equity

 

Upon the grant of stock options, we determine the exercise price by using our estimated per-share value, which is calculated by aggregating the estimated fair value of our investments in real estate and the estimated fair value of our other assets, subtracting the estimated fair value of our liabilities, which approximate book value, utilizing a discount for the fact that the shares are not currently traded on a national securities exchange and a control premium, and divided by the total by the number of our common shares outstanding at the time the options were granted.

 

 Page 17 of 30 

 

 

The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions required by the model include the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the options, and the expected stock price volatility over the expected life of the options, and the expected distribution yield. Compensation expense for employee stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting term. The expected life of the options was based on evaluations of expected future exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant with maturity dates approximating the expected term of the options at the date of grant. Volatility was based on historical volatility of the stock prices for a sample of publicly traded companies with risk profiles similar to ours. The valuation model applied in this calculation utilizes highly subjective assumptions that could potentially change over time, including the expected stock price volatility and the expected life of an option.

 

On January 1, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 99,000 stock options under our Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”) to our directors and employees at an exercise price of $2.02 per stock option. The stock options vest monthly beginning on February 1, 2017 and continuing over a three-year period through January 1, 2020. The options expire 10 years from the grant date. The weighted-average fair value per share of the stock options granted was $0.35.

 

In March 2017, 182,796 stock options were issued under our Incentive Plan to executive management as part of their performance bonus arrangement at an exercise price of $2.02 per stock option. The stock options vested 33% on the grant date and the remaining 67% will vest in equal monthly installments beginning January 1, 2017 and continuing over a two-year period through December 31, 2018. The options expire 10 years from the grant date. The weighted-average fair value per share of the stock options granted was $0.29.

 

The estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     2017
Stock options granted    281,796
Expected Volatility    23.4%
Expected lives    2.4 years
Risk-free interest rate    1.24%
Dividends    0%
Fair value per share    $0.31

For our outstanding non-vested options as of March 31, 2017, the weighted average grant date fair value per share was $0.28. As of March 31, 2017, we have approximately $84,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, net of forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized as follows:

 

Year    
April 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017  $42,000 
2018   29,000 
2019   12,000 
2020   1,000 
    84,000 

  

The stock-based compensation expense reported for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $31,000 and $8,000, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

12. Dispositions

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant & Equipment, we report results of operations from real estate assets that meet the definition of a component of an entity that have been sold, or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, as discontinued operations.

  

Disposal of Real Estate

 

On April 29, 2016, we contributed Riverglen to the SUL JV (see Note 5) and therefore, Riverglen is no longer consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The aggregate net value of Riverglen at the date of the contribution was approximately $3.9 million, which approximated the Operating Partnership’s carrying value on the date of contribution (total assets were approximately $9.2 million less liabilities of approximately $5.3 million, which included approximately $4.7 million in a HUD insured loan payable).

 

Medford Purchase Option and Sale

 

In September 2016, the option holder for our Medford property provided notice to us to exercise its option to purchase the property. On October 31, 2016, we sold the Medford property. The total sale price was $10.8 million, of which we received approximately $3.8 million in cash. The aggregate carrying value of Medford at the date of the sale was approximately $1.3 million, (total assets were approximately $8.0 million less liabilities of approximately $6.7 million, which included approximately $6.7 million in a HUD insured loan payable). As a result of the sale, as of November 1, 2016, Medford is no longer consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in October 2016, we recorded a net gain of approximately $2.8 million related to the sale.

 

13. Subsequent Events

 

On April 3, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 170,000 stock options to executive management related to their performance goals for 2016. The stock options were granted under the Incentive Plan (see Note 10), at an exercise price of $2.04 per stock option, with 33% vesting on the grant date and the remaining 67% vesting in equal monthly installments beginning May 1, 2017 and continuing over a two-year period through April 2019. The options expire 10 years from the grant date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. This section contains forward-looking statements, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2017.

 

Overview

 

As of March 31, 2017, our ownership interests in our 10 real estate properties of senior housing facilities was as follows: 100% ownership of five properties, and a 95% interest in a consolidated joint venture that owns five properties. Additionally, we have a 10% interest in an unconsolidated equity-method investment that owns 17 properties, and a 20% interest in two unconsolidated equity-method investments that each owns two properties. As used in this report, the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.

 

Our revenues are comprised largely of tenant rental income from our 10 real estate properties, including rents reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of each tenant lease and fees earned for resident care from Friendship Haven (see Note 3 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to continue to raise joint venture equity, acquire new healthcare properties at attractive prices, increase rental income from our tenant leases by escalating rental rates and by controlling our expenses. Our operations are impacted by property-specific, market-specific, general economic, regulatory and other conditions.

   

We believe that investing in senior housing facilities is accretive to earnings and stockholder value. Senior housing facilities include independent living facilities (“IL”), skilled-nursing facilities (“SNF”), assisted living facilities (“AL”), memory care facilities (“MC”) and continuing care retirement communities (“CCRC”). Each of these types of facilities caters to different segments of the senior population.

 

Summit Portfolio Properties

 

At March 31, 2017, our portfolio consisted of 10 real estate properties, five of which are 100% owned by us and five of which are owned by us through our 95% interest in Cornerstone Healthcare Partners LLC. All of the properties are 100% leased on a triple net basis. The following table provides summary information (excluding the 21 properties held by our unconsolidated equity-method investments) regarding these properties as of March 31, 2017:

Joint Venture Portfolio Properties

 

We continue to believe that raising institutional joint venture equity to make acquisitions will be accretive to shareholder value and will move us closer to our goal of resuming shareholder distributions. Our sole source of equity since 2015 has been institutional funds raised through a joint venture structure and accounted for as equity-method investments. We believe this is the most prudent strategy for growth and our shareholders benefit for the following reasons:

 

·We have not incurred the expense of organizational and offering costs, including brokerage commissions, that could amount to 15% or more of the actual capital raised through a registered secondary offering;

 

·We have not diluted our original shareholders;

 

·We earn acquisition fees and asset management fees from our capital partners, as opposed to paying fees to an advisor, broker or other third party; and

 

·We have been able to negotiate a favorable waterfall on both net operating cash flow and all sales proceeds. This favorable waterfall increases our cash on cash return and our internal rate of return considerably compared to our non-joint venture assets.

 

Summit Union Life Holdings, LLC

 

In April 2015, through our operating partnership (“Operating Partnership”), we formed Summit Union Life Holdings, LLC (“SUL JV”) with Best Years, LLC (“Best Years”), an unrelated entity and a U.S.-based affiliate of Union Life Insurance Co, Ltd. (a Chinese corporation), and entered into a limited liability company with Best Years with respect to the SUL JV (the “SUL LLC Agreement”). The SUL JV is not consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements and is accounted for under the equity-method in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Under the SUL LLC Agreement, as amended, net operating cash flow of the SUL JV will be distributed monthly, first to the Operating Partnership and Best Years pari passu up to a 9% to 10% annual return, as defined, and thereafter to Best Years 75% and the Operating Partnership 25%. All capital proceeds from the sale of the properties held by the SUL JV, a refinancing, or another capital event will be paid first to the Operating Partnership and Best Years pari passu until each has received an amount equal to its accrued but unpaid 9% to 10% return plus its total contribution, and thereafter to Best Years 75% and the Operating Partnership 25%.

 

The following reconciles our 10% equity investment in the SUL JV from inception through March 31, 2017:

 

JV 2 Properties (Colorado, Oregon and Virginia) – April 2015  $991,000 
Creative Properties (Texas) – October 2015   837,000 
Cottage Properties (Wisconsin) – December 2015   544,000

Income from equity-method investee   363,000 
Distributions   (1,193,000)
Total investment at March 31, 2017  $3,717,000 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded distributions of approximately $193,000 and $164,000, respectively, and received cash of approximately $206,000 and $106,000, respectively, from the SUL JV. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have a distribution receivable of approximately $353,000 and $365,000, respectively, from the SUL JV.

Summit Fantasia Holdings, LLC

 

On September 27, 2016, through our Operating Partnership, we entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “Fantasia LLC Agreement”) with Fantasia Investment III LLC (“Fantasia”), an unrelated entity and a U.S.-based affiliate of Fantasia Holdings Group Co., Limited (a Chinese corporation listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (HKEX)), and formed Summit Fantasia Holdings, LLC (“Fantasia JV”). Fantasia JV is not consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements and is accounted for under the equity-method in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On October 31, 2016, through the Fantasia JV, we acquired a 20% interest in two senior housing facilities, one located in Citrus Heights, California and one located in Corvallis, Oregon, for a total purchase price of $23 million.

 

Under the Fantasia LLC Agreement, net operating cash flow of the Fantasia JV will be distributed quarterly, first to the Operating Partnership and Fantasia pari passu until each member has received an amount equal to its accrued, but unpaid 8% return, and thereafter 70% to Fantasia and 30% to the Operating Partnership. All capital proceeds from the sale of the properties held by the Fantasia JV, a refinancing or another capital event, will be paid first to the Operating Partnership and Fantasia pari passu until each has received an amount equal to its accrued but unpaid 8% return plus its total capital contribution, and thereafter 70% to Fantasia and 30% to the Operating Partnership.

  (1) Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP supplemental measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate properties. We define NOI as rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income, resident services and fee income, less property operating and resident services costs. NOI excludes acquisition and asset management fees, interest income from notes receivable, general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, income from equity-method investee, other income and interest expense. We believe NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of the REIT’s real estate at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess and compare property-level performance. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since it does not reflect the aforementioned excluded items. Additionally, NOI as we define it may not be comparable to NOI as defined by other REITs or companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

 

Total rental revenue for our properties includes rental revenues and tenant paid and/or reimbursements for property taxes and insurance. Property operating expenses include insurance, property taxes and other operating expenses, including management fees. Resident service and fee income and resident services costs are generated from Friendswood TRS. Net operating income decreased by approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 mainly due to a decrease in rental revenues, as the rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included Riverglen (contributed to the SUL JV in April 2016) and Medford (sold in October 2016) (see Note 12 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

The net increase in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to approximately $0.3 million in legal expenses associated with the CRA (see Notes 7 and 10 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) litigation offset by a decrease in other professional and board fees.

 

The decrease in depreciation and amortization is due to depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included Riverglen (contributed to the SUL JV in April 2016) and Medford (sold in October 2016) (see Note 12 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

The decrease in interest expense is due to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included Riverglen (contributed to the SUL JV in April 2016) and Medford (sold in October 2016) (see Note 12 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $8.9 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient capital resources to sustain operations.

 

Going forward, we expect our primary sources of cash to be rental revenues, tenant reimbursements, joint venture equity and distributions, and refinancing of existing debt. In addition, we may increase cash through the sale of additional properties, which may result in the deconsolidation of properties we already own, or borrowing against currently-owned properties. For the foreseeable future, we expect our primary uses of cash to be for the repayment of principal on loans payable, funding future acquisitions, operating expenses, and interest expense on outstanding indebtedness. We may also incur expenditures for renovations of our existing properties, such as increasing the size of the properties by developing additional rentable square feet and/or making the space more appealing.

 

We continue to pursue options for repaying and/or refinancing debt obligations with long-term, fixed rate HUD insured loans. In October and December 2015, we successfully refinanced two of our existing loan arrangements with Lancaster Pollard (HUD insured) loans (see Note 4 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We believe that market conditions may be acceptable to continue to raise capital through additional joint venture arrangements with either our existing joint venture partners or new partners, although there can be no assurances that any such transactions will have terms acceptable to us or will be consummated.

 

Our liquidity will increase if cash from operations exceeds expenses, we receive net proceeds from the sale of whole or partial interest in a property or properties, or refinancing results in excess loan proceeds. Our liquidity will decrease as proceeds are expended in connection with our acquisitions and operation of properties.

 

Credit Facilities and Loan Agreements

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had the following debt obligations, which have not changed materially from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016:

 

· Healthcare Financial Solutions, LLC–approximately $2.8 million maturing October 2018
· Oxford Finance, LLC– approximately $7.0 million maturing October 2019
· Lancaster Pollard (HUD insured)–approximately $43.5 million maturing from September 2039 through January 2051

 

Distributions

 

We made no stockholder distributions during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Funds from Operations (“FFO”)

 

FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition outlined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

Our FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, impairments and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared period to period, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delays in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts pending investment, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our performance, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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 our senior management, including our President (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On April 1, 2014, CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange-Central Justice Center, Case No. 30-2014-00714004-CU-BT-CJC, naming the Company, its directors and two of its officers as defendants, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages. On April 17, 2014, Judge Nakamura denied in its entirety plaintiffs’ ex parte application for a temporary restraining order to show cause why a preliminary injunction against the defendants should not issue.  On May 19, 2014, we filed a counter claim against plaintiffs and certain individuals affiliated with CRA and affiliated entities. The Company continues to believe that all of plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself. Plaintiffs and defendants are conducting discovery. We have filed motions for summary adjudication on CRA’s claims against us and the other defendants and our claims against CRA. The court has heard oral argument on the motions for summary adjudication and taken the motions under submission. A trial is scheduled to start August 28, 2017.

 

A bankruptcy petition was filed against Healthcare Real Estate Partners, LLC (“HCRE”) by the investors in Healthcare Real Estate Fund, LLC or Healthcare Real Estate Qualified Purchasers Fund, LLC. Following the dismissal of the involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against it, in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware, HCRE filed a motion for attorneys’ fees and damages and a separate complaint for violation of the automatic stay against the petitioning creditors and the Company. At a status hearing, the Bankruptcy Court expressed concern about HCRE commencing this litigation and urged the parties to mediate the issues. A mediation was held but the parties did not reach a settlement. The Company believes that all of HCRE’s claims are without merit and will vigorously defend itself.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Item 5. Other Information.

 

The Company expects to hold its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”) later in 2017.  Because the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting will likely be more than 30 days from the date of the anniversary of the Company’s previous Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Exchange Act, the Company is informing stockholders of the change.
