NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation and Organization

Certain information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  However, the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.  In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  Reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Material changes are limited to reclassifying accrued benefits out of other current liabilities and reclassifying available-for-sale securities out of investments in trading securities.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

 

As of September 30, 2007, we operated 161 senior living communities containing 17,911 living units, including 112 primarily independent and assisted living communities containing 13,507 living units and 49 nursing homes containing 4,404 living units.  Of our 112 primarily independent and assisted living communities, we leased 95 communities containing 12,244 living units from Senior Housing Properties Trust, or Senior Housing, our former parent, and we owned or leased from parties other than Senior Housing 17 communities containing 1,263 living units.  We leased 47 of our 49 nursing homes from Senior Housing.  Our 161 communities include 5,627 independent living apartments, 6,235 assisted living suites and 6,049 skilled nursing units.  We also operated six institutional pharmacies, one of which provided mail order pharmaceuticals to the general public, and we operated two rehabilitation hospitals that we leased from Senior Housing.  Our two rehabilitation hospitals have 341 beds available for inpatient services, three satellite locations and 20 outpatient clinics.

Note 4.  Financial Data By Segment

 

Our reportable segments consist of our senior living community business and our rehabilitation hospital business that we began to operate in October 2006.   In the senior living community segment, we operate independent living and congregate care communities, assisted living communities and nursing homes.  Our rehabilitation hospital segment provides inpatient health rehabilitation services at our two hospital locations and three satellite locations and outpatient health rehabilitation services at 20 locations.  We do not consider our pharmacy operations to be a material, separately reportable segment of our business but we report our pharmacy revenues and expense as separate items within our corporate and other activities.  All of our operations and assets are located in the United States.

 

We use segment operating profit as an important measure to evaluate our performance and for decision making purposes.  Segment operating profit excludes interest and other income, interest expense and certain corporate expenses.

 

Our revenues by segment and a reconciliation of segment operating profit to income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Note 5.  Income Taxes

 

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, or FIN 48.  FIN 48 prescribes how we should recognize, measure and present in our financial statements uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in a tax return. Pursuant to FIN 48, we can recognize a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

 

As required, we adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 and have concluded the effect is not material to our consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48.  At the date of adoption, we had $785 in unrecognized tax benefits related to FIN 48 plus significant tax loss carry forwards totaling approximately $201,000 which, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective tax rate.  We do not believe that our unrecognized tax benefits related to FIN 48 will change significantly in the next 12 months.

 

Because we have historically reported losses, we do not currently recognize the benefit of all of our deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards that may be used to offset future taxable income.  We will, however, continue to assess our ability to generate sufficient taxable income during future periods in which our deferred tax assets may be realized. When we believe that we will more likely than not recover our deferred tax assets, we will record deferred tax assets as an income tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations, which will affect our results of operations. Our net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2023, if unused.  Our tax loss carry forwards and tax returns filed for the 2002 through 2006 tax years are subject to examination by taxing authorities.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized tax expense of $760, which includes $593 of alternative minimum taxes and certain state taxes that are payable without regard to our tax loss carry forwards and $167 of a non cash deferred tax liability arising from the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes but not for book purposes. We may recognize this deferred tax liability as a reduction in the income tax provision if, in some future period, we expense the related items of goodwill for book purposes as the result of its sale, other disposition or its impairment.

 

Note 6.  Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods.  Diluted earnings per share for the period ended September 30, 2007 reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income applicable to common shareholders that would result from their assumed issuance.  The effect our convertible senior notes have on loss from discontinued operations per share is anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income and the number of common shares used in the computations of diluted earnings per share, or EPS:

Note 7.  Acquisitions

 

In April 2007, we acquired a 48 unit assisted living community located in Tennessee for $5,025.  We financed the acquisition by assuming a $4,559 non recourse United States Department of Housing, or HUD, insured mortgage and paying the balance of the purchase price with cash on hand.  The interest rate on the assumed HUD insured mortgage is 7.65%.  We included the results of this community’s operations in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  All of the community’s revenues come from residents’ private resources.  We acquired this community to expand our business in high quality senior living operations where residents pay for our services with private resources.

 

Note 8.  Line of Credit

 

In June 2007, we amended our revolving line of credit.  The amendment increased the line from $25,000 to $40,000, extended the termination date to May 8, 2009 and reduced the interest rate by 25 basis points.  Our revolving line of credit is available for acquisitions, working capital and general business purposes.  The amount we are able to borrow at any time is subject to limitation based upon qualifying collateral.  We are the borrower under this revolving credit facility and certain of our subsidiaries guarantee our obligations under the facility, which is secured by our and our guarantor subsidiaries’ accounts receivable, deposit accounts and related assets.  The facility contains covenants requiring us to maintain collateral, minimum net worth and certain other financial ratios, limits our ability to incur or assume debt or create liens with respect to certain of our properties and has other customary provisions.  In certain circumstances and subject to available collateral and lender approvals, the maximum amounts which we may draw under this credit facility may be increased to $80,000.  The termination date may be extended twice, in each case by twelve months, subject to lender approval, our payment of extension fees and other conditions.  As of September 30, 2007 and November 7, 2007, no amounts were outstanding under this credit facility.  As of September 30, 2007 and November 7, 2007 we believe we are in compliance with all applicable covenants under this credit facility.   Interest expense and other associated costs related to this facility were $0 and $119 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $318 and $388 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Note 9.  Mortgages Payable

At September 30, 2007, four of our communities were encumbered by five HUD insured mortgages totaling $16,067.  The weighted average interest rate on these loans was 6.6 %.  Payments of principal and interest are due monthly until maturities at varying dates ranging from June 2035 to July 2043.  These mortgages contain standard HUD mortgage covenants.    We recorded mortgage premiums in connection with some of these HUD mortgages in order to record assumed mortgages at their estimated fair value.  The mortgage premiums are being amortized as a reduction of interest expense until the maturity of the mortgages.  The mortgage premium balance included in mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2007 was $797.

 

In February 2007, we prepaid six mortgages that were secured by five of our senior living communities.  We paid $22,923 to retire these six mortgages, which consisted of approximately $22,198 in principal and interest and $725 in prepayment penalties.  Because we had carried these mortgages at a premium to their face value, we recognized a net gain of $3,557 in connection with the early extinguishment of debt.  In April 2007, we prepaid one mortgage that was secured by one of our communities.  We paid $5,944 to retire this mortgage, which consisted of approximately $5,828 in principal and interest and $115 in prepayment penalties.  Because we had carried this mortgage at a premium to its face value, we recognized a net gain of approximately $934 in connection with the early extinguishment of debt.  Mortgage interest expense, including premium amortization, was $226 and $667 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $882 and $2,031 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

As discussed in Note 7, in April 2007 we acquired a 48 unit assisted living community located in Tennessee for $5,025.  We financed the acquisition by assuming a $4,559 non recourse HUD insured mortgage and paying the balance of the purchase price with cash on hand.  The interest rate on the assumed HUD insured mortgage is 7.65%.

Note 10. Convertible Senior Notes due 2026

In October 2006, we issued $126,500 principal amount of 3.75% convertible senior notes. Our net proceeds from this offering were approximately $122,600. These notes are convertible into our common shares at any time. The initial conversion rate, which is subject to adjustment, is 76.9231 common shares per $1 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of $13.00 per share. Interest expense and other associated costs on the notes were $1,238 and $3,719 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (see Note 13). These notes mature on October 15, 2026; we may prepay them at anytime after October 20, 2011 and the note holders may require that we purchase all or a portion of these notes on each October 15 of 2013, 2016 and 2021. We issued these notes pursuant to an indenture which contains various customary covenants. We believe we are in compliance with all applicable covenants of the indenture.

 

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

We lease 142 of the 161 senior living communities and the two rehabilitation hospitals that we operated on September 30, 2007 from Senior Housing for total annual minimum rent of $127,594. In addition to the minimum rent, we paid $690 and $244 in percentage rent to Senior Housing for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $1,857 and $876 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as permitted by our leases with Senior Housing, we sold to Senior Housing, at cost, $33,077 of improvements made to properties leased from Senior Housing, and the annual rent payable to Senior Housing increased by $3,194.

 

Note 12. Discontinued Operations

 

In March 2007, we agreed with Senior Housing that it should sell two assisted living communities in Pennsylvania, which we lease from Senior Housing.  We and Senior Housing are in the process of selling these assisted living communities and, upon their sale, our annual minimum rent payable to Senior Housing will decrease by 9.5% of the net proceeds of the sale to Senior Housing. As of September 30, 2007, we have disposed of substantially all of our assets and settled all liabilities related to these two communities. We have reclassified the statement of operations for all periods presented to show the results of operations of the communities which have been sold or are expected to be sold as discontinued. A summary of the operating results of these discontinued operations included in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is:

Item 2. Management’s discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our reportable segments consist of our senior living community business and our rehabilitation hospital business that we began to operate in October 2006.   In the senior living community segment, we operate independent living and congregate care communities, assisted living communities and nursing homes.  Our rehabilitation hospital segment provides inpatient health rehabilitation services at our two hospital locations and three satellite locations and outpatient health rehabilitation services at 20 outpatient clinics.  We did not report our rehabilitation hospital business as a separate segment in 2006 since we only began to operate these hospitals in October 2006.  We do not consider our pharmacy operations to be a significant, separately reportable segment of our business but we report our pharmacy revenues and expense as separate items within our corporate and other activities.  All of our operations and assets are located in the United States.

 

We use segment operating profit as an important measure to evaluate our performance and for decision making purposes.  Segment operating profit excludes interest and other income, interest expense and certain corporate expenses.

 

Key Statistical Data (for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006):

 

The following tables present a summary of our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007, Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

 

Senior living communities:

 

The 9% increase in senior living revenue is due primarily to revenues from the 11 communities we acquired in the third and fourth quarters of 2006, the one community we acquired in April 2007 and higher per diem charges to residents, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy.  The 5% increase in senior living revenue at the communities that we have operated continuously since July 1, 2006 is due primarily to higher per diem charges to residents, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy.

 

16



 

Our 4% increase in senior living wages and benefits costs is primarily due to wages and benefits at the 11 communities we acquired in the third and fourth quarters of 2006, the one community we acquired in April 2007 and wage increases.  The 14% increase in other senior living operating expenses, which include utilities, housekeeping, dietary, maintenance, insurance and community level administrative costs, primarily results from the other operating expenses at the 11 communities we acquired in the third and fourth quarters of 2006, the one community we acquired in April 2007, and increased charges from third parties.  The senior living community expenses for the senior living communities that we have operated continuously since July 1, 2006 have increased by 3%, principally due to wage and benefit increases.  Management fees to SLS were eliminated due to our termination of the last of our management agreements with SLS in 2006.  The 13% rent expense increase is due to the communities that we began to lease in 2006 and our payment of additional rent for senior living community capital improvements purchased by Senior Housing since January 1, 2006.

 

The 22% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to our purchase of furniture and fixtures for our communities as well as the one community we acquired in April 2007.

 

Our interest expense decreased by 66% because in February 2007 we prepaid six HUD insured mortgages that were secured by five of our communities.  We recognized a net gain of $3.6 million on extinguishments of these mortgages that consisted of the elimination of $4.3 million of debt premium offset by $725,000 in prepayment penalties.  In April 2007, we prepaid an additional HUD insured mortgage that was secured by one of our communities.  We recognized a net gain of $934,000 on extinguishment of this mortgage that consisted of the elimination of $1,049,000 of debt premium offset by $115,000 in prepayment penalties.  This decrease was partially offset by interest we incurred on a $4.6 million HUD insured mortgage that we assumed in connection with the community we acquired in April 2007.

 

Rehabilitation hospitals:

 

The increase in hospital revenues, hospital expenses, rent expense and depreciation and amortization expense from our hospitals is a result of our beginning operations at our hospitals in October 2006.  We are currently experiencing losses from our operation of our two rehabilitation hospitals, and we may be unable to operate these hospitals profitably.  Also, the percentage of patients at one of our hospitals who are required to meet certain Medicare requirements has recently increased and this percentage requirement will increase at both of our hospitals in the future.  We believe that we are in compliance with these current Medicare requirements.  Although we expect to be in compliance with future requirements, the actual percentage of patients at these hospitals who meet these Medicare requirements may not remain as high as we currently anticipate or may decline and, as a result, we may not remain in compliance.  Failure to remain in compliance will result in these hospitals receiving lower Medicare reimbursement rates than we currently anticipate.  We cannot estimate the impact this may have but it may be material to our operations and may adversely affect our future results of operations.

Corporate and other:

The 29% and 26% increase in revenues and expenses, respectively from our pharmacies is primarily the result of our acquiring one pharmacy in November 2006.   

The 25% increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 over the same period in 2006 results from our acquisition of 11 communities in the third and fourth quarters of 2006, from the communities we began to operate in 2006 that were previously managed for us by SLS and from the rehabilitation hospitals we began to operate in October 2006.

The 52% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to increases in assets associated with our pharmacy acquisitions.

 

Our interest and other income increased by $1.1 million or 266%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of higher levels of investable cash proceeds from our convertible senior notes offering.

 

Our interest expense increased by $1.1 million, due to the issuance of our convertible senior notes in October 2006.

 

17



 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we recognized taxes of $277,000, which includes $224,000 of alternative minimum taxes and certain state taxes that are payable without regard to our tax loss carry forwards and $53,000 of a deferred tax liability arising from the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes but not for book purposes.

The 24% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to our purchase of furniture and fixtures for our communities as well as the one community we acquired in April 2007.

 

Our interest expense decreased by 57% because in February 2007 we prepaid six HUD insured mortgages that were secured by five of our communities.  We recognized a net gain of $3.6 million on extinguishments of these mortgages that consists of the elimination of $4.3 million of debt premium offset by $725,000 in prepayment penalties. In addition, In April 2007, we prepaid one HUD insured mortgage that was secured by one of our communities. We recognized a net gain of $934,000 on extinguishment of this mortgage that consisted of the elimination of $1,049,000 million of debt premium offset by $115,000 in prepayment penalties. This decrease was partially offset by interest we incurred on a $4.6 million HUD insured mortgage that we assumed in connection with one community we acquired in April 2007.

 

Rehabilitation hospitals:

 

The increase in hospital revenues, hospital expenses, rent expense and depreciation and amortization expense from our hospitals is a result of our beginning operations at our hospitals in October 2006.  We are currently experiencing losses from our operation of our two rehabilitation hospitals, and we may be unable to operate these hospitals profitably.  Also, the percentage of patients at one of our hospitals who are required to meet certain Medicare requirements has recently increased and this percentage requirement will increase at both of our hospitals in the future.  We believe that we are in compliance with these current Medicare requirements.  Although we expect to be in compliance with future requirements, the actual percentage of patients at these hospitals who meet these Medicare requirements may not remain as high as we currently anticipate or may decline and, as a result, we may not remain in compliance.  Failure to remain in compliance will result in these hospitals receiving lower Medicare reimbursement rates than we currently anticipate.  We cannot estimate the impact this may have but it may be material to our operations and may adversely affect our future results of operations.

Corporate and other:

The 34% and 35% increase in revenues and expenses, respectively, from our pharmacies is primarily the result of our acquiring one pharmacy in November 2006.   

The 33% increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 over the same period in 2006 results from our acquisition of 11 communities in the third and fourth quarters of 2006, from the communities we began to operate in 2006 that were previously managed for us by SLS and from the rehabilitation hospitals we began to operate in October 2006.

The 52% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to increases in assets associated with our pharmacy acquisitions.

 

Our interest and other income increased by $2.8 million, or 179%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of higher levels of investable cash proceeds from our convertible senior notes offering.

 

Our interest expense increased by $3.6 million, due to the issuance of our convertible senior notes in October 2006.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized taxes of $760,000 which includes $593,000 of alternative minimum taxes and certain state taxes that are payable without regard to our tax loss carry forwards and $167,000 of a deferred tax liability arising from the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes but not for book purposes.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Assets and Liabilities

 

Our total current assets at September 30, 2007 were $185.7 million, compared to $205.8 million at December 31, 2006.  At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $19.9 million and $46.2 million, respectively.  Our current liabilities were $109.3 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $132.9 million at December 31, 2006.  The decrease in both current assets and current liabilities is primarily the result of our prepayment of seven mortgages in 2007.

 

20



 

Our Leases with Senior Housing

 

As of November 7, 2007, we lease 142 senior living communities and two rehabilitation hospitals that we operate from Senior Housing under six leases.  Our leases with Senior Housing require us to pay minimum rent of $127.6 million annually and percentage rent for most senior living communities.  In addition to the minimum rent, we paid approximately $690,000 and $244,000 in percentage rent to Senior Housing for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1.9 million and $876,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Upon our request, Senior Housing reimburses our capital expenditures made at the communities we lease from Senior Housing and increases our rent expense pursuant to contractual formulas.  Senior Housing reimbursed us $33.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 for capital expenditures made at these leased communities and increased our annual rent by $3.2 million.

 

Our Revenues

 

Our revenues from services to residents at our senior living communities are our primary source of cash to fund our operating expenses, including rent, principal and interest payments on our debt and our capital expenditures.  At some of our communities, operating revenues for nursing home services are received from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  Medicare and Medicaid revenues from senior living services were earned primarily at our 49 nursing homes.  We derived 34% of our senior living revenue from these programs in each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

 

Our net Medicare revenues from senior living community residents totaled $91.8 million and $85.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  In October 2007 and 2006 our senior living community Medicare rates increased by approximately 3.6% and 3.3%, respectively.  Our net Medicaid revenues from senior living community residents totaled $108.5 million and $106.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The Bush administration and certain members of the Senate and the House of Representatives have proposed Medicare and Medicaid policy changes and rate reductions to be phased in during the next several years.  In addition, some of the states in which we operate either have not raised Medicaid rates by amounts sufficient to offset increasing costs or are expected to reduce Medicaid funding.  The magnitude of the potential Medicare and Medicaid rate reductions and the impact of the failure of these programs to increase rates to match increasing expenses, as well as the magnitude of the potential Medicare and Medicaid policy changes, cannot currently be estimated, but they may be material to our operations and may affect our future results of operations.

 

We began to operate two rehabilitation hospitals in October 2006.  Approximately 68% and 69% of our revenues from these hospitals came from the Medicare and Medicaid programs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.  In October 2007 our rehabilitation hospital Medicare rates increased by approximately 3.5% over the prior period.  In May 2004, the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, issued a rule known as the “75% Rule”, establishing revised Medicare standards that rehabilitation hospitals are required to meet in order to participate as inpatient rehabilitation facilities, or IRFs, in the Medicare program.  The 75% Rule is being phased in over a four year period that began on July 1, 2004.  For cost reporting periods starting on and after July 1, 2006, 60% of a facility’s inpatient population must require intensive rehabilitation services for one of the CMS designated medical conditions.  For cost reporting periods starting on and after July 1, 2007, the requirement is 65% and for cost reporting periods starting on and after July 1, 2008, the requirement is 75%.  An IRF that fails to meet the requirements of the 75% Rule is subject to reclassification as a different type of healthcare provider and the effect of such reclassification would be to lower Medicare payment rates.  As of September 30, 2007 and November 7, 2007, we believe we are in compliance with the requirements of this rule necessary for our hospitals to remain classified as IFRs.  However, the actual percentage of patients at these hospitals who meet these Medicare requirements may not remain as high as we currently anticipate or may decline and, as a result, we may not remain in compliance.  Failure to remain in compliance will result in these hospitals receiving lower Medicare rates than we currently anticipate.

 

Debt Instruments and Covenants

In June 2007, we amended of our revolving line of credit.  The amendment increased the line from $25.0 million to $40.0 million, extended the termination date to May 8, 2009 and reduced the interest rate by 25 basis points.  Our revolving line of credit is available for acquisitions, working capital and general business purposes.  The amount we are able to borrow at any time is subject to limitations based upon qualifying collateral.  We are the borrower under this revolving credit facility and certain of our subsidiaries guarantee our obligations under the facility, which is secured by our and our guarantor subsidiaries’ accounts receivable, deposit accounts and related assets.

The facility contains covenants requiring us to maintain collateral, minimum net worth and certain other financial ratios, limits our ability to incur or assume debt or create liens with respect to certain of our properties and has other customary provisions.  In certain circumstances and subject to available collateral and lender approvals, the maximum amounts which we may draw under this credit facility may be increased to $80.0 million.  The termination date may be extended twice, in each case by twelve months, subject to lender approval, our payment of extension fees and other conditions.  As of September 30, 2007 and November 7, 2007, no amounts were outstanding under this credit facility.  As of September 30, 2007 and November 7, 2007 we believe we are in compliance with all applicable covenants under this credit facility.

In October 2006, we issued $126.5 million principal amount of 3.75% convertible senior notes.  Our net proceeds from this offering were approximately $122.6 million.  These notes are convertible into our common shares at any time.  The initial conversion rate, which is subject to adjustment, is 76.9231 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of $13.00 per share.  The notes are guaranteed by certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries.  These notes mature on October 15, 2026; we may prepay them at anytime after October 20, 2011 and the note holders may require that we purchase all or a portion of these notes on each October 15 of 2013, 2016 and 2021.  We issued these notes pursuant to an indenture which contains various customary covenants. As of September 30, 2007 and November 7, 2007, we believe we are in compliance with all applicable covenants of the indenture.

At September 30, 2007, we had five HUD insured mortgage loans totaling $16.1 million that were secured by four properties.  The weighted average interest rate on these loans was 6.6 %.  Payments of principal and interest are due monthly until maturities at varying dates ranging from June 2035 to July 2043.  These mortgages contain standard HUD mortgage covenants.    We recorded mortgage premiums in connection with some of these HUD mortgages in order to record assumed mortgages at their estimated fair value.  The mortgage premiums are being amortized as a reduction of interest expense until the maturity of the mortgages.  The mortgage premium balance included in mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2007 was $797,000.

In February 2007, we prepaid six mortgages that were secured by five of our senior living communities.  We paid $22.9 million to retire these six mortgages, which consisted of approximately $22.2 million in principal and interest and $725,000 in prepayment penalties.  Because we had carried these mortgages at a premium to their face value, we recognized a net gain of $3.6 million in connection with the early extinguishment of debt.  In April 2007, we prepaid one mortgage that was secured by one of our communities.  We paid $5.9 million to retire this mortgage, which consisted of approximately $5.8 million in principal and interest and $115,000 in prepayment penalties.  Because we had carried this mortgage at a premium to its face value, we recognized a net gain of $934,000 in connection with the early extinguishment of debt.

In April 2007, we acquired a 48 unit assisted living community located in Tennessee for $5.0 million.  We financed the acquisition by assuming a $4.6 million non recourse HUD insured mortgage and paying the balance of the purchase price with cash on hand.  The interest rate on the assumed HUD insured mortgage is 7.65%.

 

As of September 30, 2007 and November 7, 2007, we believe we are in compliance with all covenants of our mortgages.

 

Seasonality

Our business is subject to modest effects of seasonality. During the calendar fourth quarter holiday periods, nursing home and assisted living residents are sometimes discharged to join family celebrations and admission decisions are often deferred. The first quarter of each calendar year usually coincides with increased illness among nursing home and assisted living residents that can result in increased costs or discharges to hospitals. As a result of these factors, nursing home and assisted living operations sometimes produce greater earnings in the second and third quarters of a calendar year and lesser earnings in the first and fourth quarters. We do not believe that this seasonality will cause fluctuations in our revenues or operating cash flow to such an extent that we will have difficulty paying our expenses, including rent, which do not fluctuate seasonally.

Related Party Transactions

We lease 142 of the 161 senior living communities and the two rehabilitation hospitals that we operate from Senior Housing for total annual minimum rent of $127.6 million. In addition to the minimum rent, we paid approximately $690,000 and $244,000 in percentage rent to Senior Housing for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and approximately $1.9 million and $876,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as permitted by our leases with Senior Housing, we sold to Senior Housing, at cost, $33.1 million of improvements made to properties leased from Senior Housing, and the annual rent payable to Senior Housing increased by approximately $3.2 million.

 

Item 3.           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates remains unchanged since December 31, 2006. Other than as described below, we do not now anticipate any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this risk in the future. Changes in market interest rates also affect the fair value of our debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt, while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. For example: based upon discounted cash flow analysis, if prevailing interest rates were to decline by 10% of existing interest rates and other credit market considerations remained unchanged, the market value of our $142.6 million mortgage debt and convertible notes outstanding on September 30, 2007, would increase by about $5.7 million; and, similarly, if prevailing interest rates were to increase by 10% of existing interest rates, the market value of our $142.6 million mortgage debt and convertible notes would decline by about $5.3 million.

Our revolving credit facility bears interest at floating rates and matures in May 2009. As of September 30, 2007 and November 7, 2007, no amounts were outstanding under this credit facility. We borrow in U.S. dollars and borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a premium. Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar based short term interest rates, specifically LIBOR. A change in interest rates would not affect the value of any outstanding floating rate debt but could affect our operating results. For example, if the maximum amount of $40.0 million were drawn under our credit facility and interest rates decreased or increased by 1% per annum, our interest expense would decrease or increase by $400,000 per year, or $0.01 per share, based on our currently outstanding common shares. If interest rates were to change gradually over time, the impact would occur over time.

Our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates may increase in the future if we incur debt to fund acquisitions or otherwise.

Item 4.           Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
