FIVE STAR QUALITY CARE, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation and Organization

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Five Star Quality Care, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared without audit.  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, 2007.  In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  All material 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.

 

As of September 30, 2008, we leased, owned or operated 202 senior living communities containing 21,340 living units, including 153 primarily independent and assisted living communities with 16,930 living units and 49 skilled nursing facilities with 4,410 beds.  Of our 153 primarily independent and assisted living communities, we leased 133 communities containing 15,427 living units from Senior Housing Properties Trust, or Senior Housing, our former parent, and we owned or leased from parties other than Senior Housing 20 communities with 1,503 living units.  We leased 47 of our 49 skilled nursing facilities from Senior Housing.  Our 202 communities include 6,017 independent living apartments, 9,112 assisted living suites and 6,211 skilled nursing beds.  We also operated six institutional pharmacies, one of which provides mail order pharmaceuticals to the general public, and two rehabilitation hospitals that we leased from Senior Housing.  Our two rehabilitation hospitals had 321 beds available for inpatient services, three satellite locations and 18 affiliated outpatient clinics.  Included in the above counts are two assisted living communities containing 173 living units and two pharmacies which have previously been reclassified to discontinued operations.

 

Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, or SFAS No. 141(R).  SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer shall recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired in a business combination.  SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”, or FSP 14-1.  FSP 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that is intended to reflect the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. FSP 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years and does not permit earlier application.  We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FSP 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 5.  Financial Data By Segment

 

Our reportable segments consist of our senior living community business and our rehabilitation hospital business.   In the senior living community segment, we operate independent living and congregate care communities, assisted living communities and skilled nursing facilities.  Our rehabilitation hospital segment provides inpatient medical rehabilitation services at two hospital locations and three satellite locations and outpatient medical rehabilitation services at 18 affiliated outpatient clinics.  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 except with regard to our two captive insurance companies which participate in our liability insurance programs and are located outside the United States in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

 

We use segment operating profit as an important measure to evaluate our performance and for our business 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 (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

(1) Corporate and Other includes operations that we do not consider significant, separately reportable segments of our business, as well as income and expenses that are not attributable to a specific segment.

 

(2) General and administrative expenses are not attributable to a specific segment and include items such as corporate payroll and benefits and outside service expenses supporting home office activities.

 

Note 6.  Income Taxes

 

Because we have previously 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, which begin to expire in 2023 if unused, are subject to audit and adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized tax expenses of $920, which include (i) a tax benefit of $351 related to prior year refunds resulting from the application of tax credits that offset federal alternative minimum taxes, (ii) $1,088 of state taxes that are payable without regard to our tax loss carry forwards, and (iii) $183 related to 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 impairment.

 

Note 7.  Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share for the periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during those periods.  Diluted income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflect 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 the assumed issuance upon conversion of our 3.75% convertible senior notes, or the Notes (See Note 11).  The following table provides a reconciliation of both income (loss) and the number of common shares, in thousands, used in the computations of diluted income (loss) per share.  The effect of conversion of our Notes on income (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations per share is anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The effect of conversion of our Notes on income (loss) from continuing operations per share also is anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Note 8.  Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

 

As required, we adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 for assets and liabilities we measure on a recurring basis.  Although the adoption of SFAS 157 did not materially impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow, we are now required to provide additional disclosures as part of our financial statements.  We measure fair value at the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  SFAS 157 prioritizes the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, or the inputs, into three broad levels.  This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority, or Level 1, to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority, or Level 3, to assumptions that are unobservable.  Observable inputs that do not meet the criteria of Level 1, and include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, are categorized as Level 2.  Level 3 inputs are those that reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on what we believe is the best information available in the circumstances.  Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data.  These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available, or which we believe are not available without expenditures that we have determined not to incur.

 

The table below presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2008 categorized by the level of inputs used in the valuation of each asset.

(1) Long lived assets held for sale consist of property and equipment we expect to sell to Senior Housing as permitted by our leases and are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs.  We determined that these asset costs approximate fair value since we have either recently acquired the assets or the assets are part of ongoing construction projects and we expect to sell these assets to Senior Housing at their recorded value.

 

(2) Our investments in trading securities consist of auction rate securities, which are primarily bonds issued by various entities to fund student loans pursuant to the Federal Family Education Loan Program.  Due to events in the credit markets, auctions for our auction rate securities failed during the first quarter of 2008 and there is currently no market, or a very illiquid market, in which we might sell these securities.  We therefore report our auction rate securities at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs.  We measured the fair value of these securities by reference to a statement provided by our broker that was calculated with the assistance of a valuation model.  This model considered, among other items, the collateral underlying the investments, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows including possible refinancing of the securities and a determination of the appropriate discount rate.  The analysis also included a comparison, when possible, to other observable market data with characteristics similar to our auction rate securities.  We reviewed the components of, and calculations made under, our broker’s model.  Due to the declines in fair value for our auction rate securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we have recorded an unrealized loss of $6,099.

 

On March 31, 2008, we reclassified our auction rate securities from current to non-current investments due to our belief that the market for student loan collateralized instruments may take in excess of twelve months to recover.

 

(3) Investments in available for sale securities consist of preferred securities and variable rate demand obligations and are reported in our balance sheet as current investments in available for sale securities of $7,141, current restricted investments of $2,472 and long term restricted investments of $6,869.  These securities are carried at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs based on quoted market prices with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income.  When a change in fair value is deemed temporary, we record a corresponding credit or charge to other comprehensive income for any unrealized gains or losses.  If we determine that any future valuation adjustment was other than temporary, we would record a charge to earnings.  During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we have recorded an other than temporary loss of $3,019, due to several notable bankruptcies and government actions involving the companies that issued the securities we hold.

 

Based on market conditions, our valuation methodology for investments in trading securities and investments in available for sale securities changed.  Accordingly, these securities changed from Level 1 to Level 3 within SFAS 157’s hierarchy.  The table below presents the change in fair value measurements that used Level 3 inputs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008:

Note 9.  Line of Credit

 

We have a $40,000 revolving bank credit facility for general business purposes, including acquisitions and working capital, which is currently scheduled to expire in May 2009. 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; this facility also places limits on our ability to incur or assume debt or create liens with respect to certain of our assets and has other customary provisions.  In certain circumstances and subject to available collateral and lender approvals, the maximum amount which we may borrow under this credit facility may be increased to $80,000.  The termination date of this facility may be extended twice, in each case by twelve months upon our payment of extension fees and other conditions, including lender’s approvals. As of September 30, 2008 and November 6, 2008, no amounts were outstanding under this credit facility. As of September 30, 2008 and November 6, 2008, we believe we were and are in compliance with all applicable covenants under this credit facility.  Interest expense and other associated costs related to this facility were $85 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $168 and $318 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Note 10.  Mortgages Payable

 

At September 30, 2008, three of our communities were encumbered by United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, insured mortgages totaling $12,625.  The weighted average interest rate on these loans was 6.2%.  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.

 

In September 2008, we prepaid two HUD mortgages that were secured by one of our senior living communities.  We paid $2,393 in principal and interest to retire these two mortgages, and no prepayment penalty was required.  Because we had recorded these mortgages at a premium to their face value under applicable accounting rules, we recognized a net gain of $743 in connection with this early extinguishment of debt.  Mortgage interest expense, including premium amortization, was $245 and $226 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $724 and $882 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Note 11. Convertible Senior Notes due 2026

 

In October 2006, we issued $126,500 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2026.  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 $1,252 and $1,238 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $3,730 and $3,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (see Note 14).  These Notes mature on October 15, 2026; we may prepay the Notes at anytime after October 20, 2011 and the Note holders may require that we purchase all or a portion of these Notes on each of October 15, 2013, October 15, 2016 and October 15, 2021.  We issued these Notes pursuant to an indenture which contains various customary covenants.  As of September 30, 2008 and November 6, 2008, we believe we are in compliance with all applicable covenants of this indenture.

 

Note 12. Related Person Transactions

 

We lease 180 of our 202 senior living communities and the two rehabilitation hospitals that we operated on September 30, 2008 from Senior Housing for total annual minimum rent of $168,188.  In addition to the minimum rent, we paid $794 and $877 in percentage rent to Senior Housing for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $2,691 and $1,896 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Included in the 180 communities we lease from Senior Housing are 19 senior living communities with 1,743 units which Senior Housing acquired and we began to operate during the first quarter of 2008.  Twenty-one of these communities are assisted living communities (one of which offers some skilled nursing services and one of which

offers some independent living services) and one is a continuing care retirement community which offers independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing services.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for these 19 communities is $21,790 per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increases for all of these communities after 2009.  We added nine of these communities to one of our existing leases with Senior Housing which has a term ending in 2022, with renewal options thereafter.  We added the remaining 10 of these communities to another existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending in 2024, with renewal options thereafter.

 

On June 30, 2008, we and Senior Housing realigned our three principal combination leases.  The aggregate rent payable by us to Senior Housing is unchanged as a result of this lease realignment.  Rent expense for future sales of property improvements to Senior Housing, if and as Senior Housing purchases improvements to the leased properties, will be set at the greater of 8.0% per annum or the 10 year Treasury rate plus 300 basis points.

 

Included in the 180 senior living communities we lease from Senior Housing are seven assisted living communities located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that were previously operated by NewSeasons Assisted Living Communities, Inc., or “NewSeasons”, under leases from Senior Housing.  We began to lease these communities in July, 2008.  In consideration of our lease assumption, NewSeasons paid us $10,000 and transferred title to certain personal property located at the communities.  We have recorded this lease concession as a deferred credit on our balance sheet, which will be amortized as a reduction or rent expense over the remaining lease term.  Simultaneously with our leasing these seven communities from Senior Housing, we purchased three other NewSeasons communities from Senior Housing with 278 units located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for $21,350.  We allocated the purchase price of these communities to land, building and equipment.  The purchase price of these properties was equal to the seller’s net book value which reflected the fair market value of these properties, based on appraisals by an independent appraiser.  The remaining seven communities with 716 units are leased from Senior Housing for annual rent of approximately $7,600 per year.  These ten communities complement our business strategy of focusing our operations in high quality senior living assets where residents pay for our services with private resources.  All of the revenues of these communities come from residents’ private resources.

 

On August 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing two assisted living communities with a total of 112 living units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for these two communities is $1,200 per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added these communities to our existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending in 2024, with renewal options thereafter.  In addition, we purchased land adjacent to one of these communities for $890 for future development.

 

On September 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing eight independent living communities with a total of 451 living units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for these eight communities is $4,981 per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added these communities to our existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending in 2024, with renewal options thereafter.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as permitted by our leases with Senior Housing, we sold to Senior Housing, at cost, $42,061 of improvements made to properties leased from Senior Housing, and our annual rent payable to Senior Housing increased by $3,620.

 

Note 13.  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, in accordance with the terms of our lease with Senior Housing.  In December 2007, we decided to sell one institutional pharmacy located in California and our mail order pharmacy located in Nebraska.  As of September 30, 2008, we have disposed of substantially all of our assets and liabilities related to the assisted living communities which we expect to sell.  The assets and liabilities related to the two pharmacies that we expect to sell are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.  We have reclassified

Note 15.   Subsequent Events

 

On October 7, 2008, UBS provided us with a prospectus and offer pursuant to a settlement it had entered into with various Federal and state governmental entities requiring that it offer to repurchase the auction rate securities which it had previously marketed to us.  Under the terms of this settlement offer, UBS will repurchase, at par, our investments in auction rate securities at our request, between the periods of June 30, 2010 and July 2, 2012, or upon their call. UBS has also agreed to provide us with liquidity under a “no net cost” loan program which provides for, among other things, borrowing up to 75% of the market value of our auction rate securities.  Acceptance of this offer also requires us to release all claims we may have against UBS arising from their marketing the auction rate securities to us.  We are currently evaluating this offer and discussing with UBS alternative arrangements affecting our auction rate securities.  The UBS offer expires on November 14, 2008.

 

On October 10, 2008, we executed an agreement with certain affiliates of Sunwest Management, Inc. to acquire seven independent living, assisted living and Alzheimer’s care communities with a total of 624 living units for a purchase price of approximately $44,000.  These communities are located in North and South Carolina.  The sellers are in bankruptcy and our agreement is subject to an auction process and bankruptcy court approval.  If the properties are sold to another bidder, we are entitled to a breakup fee in the amount of $500.  If we are successful at this auction and our purchase is approved by the bankruptcy court, we expect to close this acquisition in the fourth quarter of the 2008. This closing is subject to various closing conditions (including licensing approvals) and there can be no assurances that we will close this acquisition.  We intend to fund this purchase with cash on hand and drawings on our existing bank credit facility or the UBS credit facility which may be available to us in connection with our investments in auction rate securities.

 

On November 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing a continuing care retirement community with a total of 249 independent living and skilled nursing units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for this community is $2,400 per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added this community to our existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending 2024, with renewal options thereafter.  In addition, we purchased land adjacent to this community for $3,000 for future development.

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.   In the senior living community segment, we operate independent living, congregate care and assisted living communities and skilled nursing facilities.  Our rehabilitation hospital segment provides inpatient medical rehabilitation services at our two hospital locations and three satellite locations and outpatient medical rehabilitation services at 18 affiliated outpatient clinics.  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 except with regard to our two captive insurance companies which participate in our liability insurance programs and are located outside the United States in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

 

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

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008, Compared To Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

 

Senior living communities:

 

The 18.4% increase in senior living revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was due primarily to revenues from the 39 communities we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008 and increased per diem charges, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy.  The 2.9% increase in senior living revenue at the communities

Table of Contents

 

that we have operated continuously since July 1, 2007 was due primarily to increased per diem charges, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy.

 

The 19.9% increase in senior living wages and benefits costs for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to wages and benefits from the 39 communities we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008 and wage increases.  The 20.1% increase in other senior living operating expenses, which include utilities, housekeeping, dietary, maintenance, insurance and community level administrative costs, primarily resulted from the other operating expenses at the 39 communities we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008.  The senior living community expenses for the senior living communities that we have operated continuously since July 1, 2007 have increased by 5.5%, principally due to increases in workers compensation, therapy services and utility expenses.  The 30.4% rent expense increase was due to the 36 leased communities that we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008 and our payment of additional rent for senior living community capital improvements purchased by Senior Housing since July 1, 2007.

 

The 3.2% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to our purchase of furniture and fixtures for our communities.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized an other than temporary loss of $3.0 million on investments in available for sale securities held by our captive insurance companies.

 

Rehabilitation hospitals:

 

The 5.6% decrease in hospital revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to Medicare reimbursement rates as well as the closing of several unprofitable outpatient clinics offset by an increase in census.  The 1.1% decrease in hospital expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to reductions in labor and benefit expenses and the closing of several unprofitable outpatient clinics.

 

The 4.9% rent expense increase for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was due to our payment of additional rent for hospital capital improvements purchased by Senior Housing since July 1, 2007.

 

The 6.8% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to our purchase of information technology systems for our rehabilitation hospitals.

 

Corporate and other:

 

The 7.9% increase in pharmacy revenues and the 18.0% increase in pharmacy expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008, was primarily the result of adding new customers from both our existing senior living and third party operated communities. The increase in pharmacy revenues was partially offset by the establishment of a contractual allowance reserve of $993,000.  We recorded this allowance in order to fairly state the realizable value of our pharmacy receivables which are primarily billed under Medicare Part D.

 

The 11.1% increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007 arose primarily from the 39 communities we began to operate in 2008.

 

The 4.9% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to our purchase of furniture and fixtures and information technology systems for our pharmacies and corporate and regional offices.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized an unrealized loss of $1.8 million on investments in trading securities related to our holdings of auction rate securities.

 

Our interest and other income decreased by $394,000, or 37.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007, primarily as a result of lower interest rates earned on our investments.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized a tax benefit of $90,000, which includes a tax benefit of $601,000 to account for the application of tax credits that offset alternative minimum taxes, and $451,000 of certain state taxes that are payable without regard to our tax loss carry forwards.  The tax benefit also includes

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008, Compared To Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

 

Senior living communities:

 

The 14.2% increase in senior living revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was due primarily to revenues from the 39 communities we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008 and increased per diem charges, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy.  The 4.2% increase in senior living revenue at the communities that we have operated continuously since January 1, 2007 was due primarily to increased per diem charges, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy.

 

Our 11.5% increase in senior living wages and benefits costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to wages and benefits at the 39 communities we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008 and wage increases.  The 16.0% 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 39 communities we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008 and increased charges from various service providers.  The senior living community expenses for the senior living communities that we have operated continuously since January 1, 2007 have increased by 3.6%, due primarily to increases in therapy services and utility expenses.  The 21.8% rent expense increase was due to the addition of 36 leased communities that we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008, our payment of percentage rent and our payment of additional rent for senior living community capital improvements purchased by Senior Housing since January 1, 2007.

Table of Contents

 

The 6.4% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to our purchase of furniture and fixtures for our communities as well as the one community we acquired in April 2007 and three communities we acquired in July 2008.

 

Our interest and other income increased by $950,000, or 76.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007, primarily as a result of recognizing an $840,000 gain related to a 2003 sale of a property that was previously deferred until the buyer paid in full our note receivable during the first quarter of 2008.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized an other than temporary loss of $3.0 million on investments in available for sale securities held by our captive insurance companies.

 

Rehabilitation hospitals:

 

The 4.7% decrease in hospital revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to lower Medicare reimbursement rates as well as the closing of several unprofitable outpatient clinics offset by an increase in census.  The 2.9% decrease in hospital expenses was primarily due to reductions in labor and benefit expenses and the closing of several unprofitable outpatient clinics.

 

The 4.2% rent expense increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was due to our payment of additional rent for hospital capital improvements purchased by Senior Housing since January 1, 2007.

 

The 18.3% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to our purchase of furniture and fixtures and information technology systems for our rehabilitation hospitals.

 

Corporate and other:

 

The 19.6% and 21.7% increase in 2008 revenues and expenses, respectively, from our pharmacies for the nine months ended September 20, 2008 was primarily the result of adding new customers from both our existing senior living and third party communities.  The increase in pharmacy revenues was partially offset by the establishment of a contractual allowance reserve of $993,000.  We recorded this allowance in order to fairly state the realizable value of our pharmacy receivables which are primarily billed under Medicare Part D.

 

The 9.8% increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007 primarily results from the administrative costs associated with the 39 communities we began to operate in the first nine months of 2008.

 

The 20.0% increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to our purchase of furniture and fixtures and information technology systems for our pharmacies and corporate and regional offices.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized an unrealized loss of $6.2 million on investments in trading securities related to our holdings of auction rate securities.

 

Our interest and other income decreased by $426,000 or, 13.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007, primarily as a result of lower cash available for investment and lower interest rates earned on our cash investments.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred tax expense of $920,000, which include (i) a tax benefit of $351,000 related to prior year refunds resulting from the application of tax credits that offset federal alternative minimum taxes, (ii) $1,088,000 of state taxes that are payable without regard to our tax loss carry forwards, and (iii) $183,000 related to a non-cash deferred tax liability arising from the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes but not for book purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Investments

 

At September 30, 2008, we had $68.8 million (par value of $74.8 million) invested in auction rate securities which we classified as long term investments in trading securities.  Starting in February 2008, auctions affecting our student loan auction rate securities failed to close on their settlement dates.  We do not know if future auctions for our auction rate securities will successfully close on future auction settlement dates.   On March 31, 2008, we moved our auction rate securities from current assets to non-current assets due to our belief that the market for student loan collateralized instruments may take in excess of twelve months to recover.

 

Our auction rate securities consist primarily of bonds issued by various entities to fund student loans pursuant to the Federal Family Education Loan Program.  The maturities of our auction rate securities range from 2032 to 2047.  However, historically we have had the option to liquidate our investments in our auction rate securities whenever the interest rates are reset at auctions, usually every 35 days.  All of our auction rate securities were rated “AAA” by at least one nationally recognized debt rating agency when we made these investments, and, to our knowledge, none of these ratings have been reduced.  We and the broker dealer, who marketed the auction rate securities which we own, are presently monitoring developments in the auction rate securities markets.  Based upon our analysis of impairment factors through September 30, 2008, we have recognized an unrealized loss of $6.1  million on our investments in these securities.

 

The funds which we invested in auction rate securities were funds we were holding to invest in potential acquisitions or to satisfy longer term self insurance obligations.  Accordingly, these funds are not needed to fund our current operations and we do not expect the failure of auctions affecting our auction rate securities holdings to have a material adverse impact upon our day to day operations.  Nonetheless, the current illiquidity of these investments may mean we are unable to take advantage of acquisitions or other investment opportunities.

 

On October 7, 2008, UBS provided us with a prospectus and offer pursuant to a settlement it had entered into with various Federal and state governmental entities requiring that it offer to repurchase the auction rate securities which it had previously marketed to us.  Under the terms of this settlement offer, UBS will repurchase, at par, our investments in auction rate securities at our request, between the periods of June 30, 2010 and July 2, 2012, or upon their call. UBS has also agreed to provide us with liquidity under a “no net cost” loan program which provides for, among other things, borrowing up to 75% of the market value of our auction rate securities.  Acceptance of this offer also requires us to release all claims we may have against UBS arising from their marketing the auction rate securities to us.  We are currently evaluating this offer and discussing with UBS alternative arrangements affecting our auction rate securities.  The UBS offer expires on November 14, 2008.

 

Assets and Liabilities

 

Our total current assets at September 30, 2008 were $131.4 million, compared to $186.0 million at December 31, 2007.  At September 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $40.0 million compared to $31.0 at December 31, 2007.  Our current liabilities were $127.5 million at September 30, 2008, compared to $104.1 million at December 31, 2007.  The decrease in current assets was primarily the result of our reclassifying our investments in auction rate securities from current to long term assets.

 

Cash provided from continuing operations was $44.8 million for the first nine months of 2008 as compared with $26.2 million for the same period of 2007.  Excluding cash flows associated with our investments in trading securities, cash provided from continuing operations was $56.6 million and $50.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Acquisitions of property plant and equipment, on a net basis after considering the proceeds from sales of fixed assets to Senior Housing, were $11.4 million and $23.1 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  During the first nine months of 2008 and 2007, as a result of an early repayment of debt, we repaid long term debt of $2.6 million and $28.8 million, respectively.

 

Potential Acquisition

 

On October 10, 2008, we executed an agreement with certain affiliates of Sunwest Management, Inc. to acquire seven independent living, assisted living and Alzheimer’s care communities with a total of 624 living units for a purchase price of approximately $44.0 million.  These communities are located in North and South Carolina.  The sellers are in bankruptcy and our agreement is subject to an auction process and bankruptcy court approval.  If the

 

24



Table of Contents

 

properties are sold to another bidder, we are entitled to a breakup fee in the amount of $500,000.  If we are successful at this auction and our purchase is approved by the bankruptcy court, we expect to close this acquisition in the fourth quarter of the 2008. This closing is subject to various closing conditions (including licensing approvals) and there can be no assurances that we will close this acquisition.  We intend to fund this purchase with cash on hand and drawings on our existing bank credit facility or the UBS credit facility which may be available to us in connection with our investments in auction rate securities.

 

Our Leases with Senior Housing

 

As of September 30, 2008, we leased 180 senior living communities and two rehabilitation hospitals from Senior Housing under four leases.  Our leases with Senior Housing require us to pay minimum rent of $168.2 million annually and percentage rent for most senior living communities but not for our rehabilitation hospitals.  We paid approximately $794,000 and $877,000 in percentage rent to Senior Housing for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $2.7 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Upon our request, Senior Housing may purchase our capital improvements and other investments made at the properties we lease from Senior Housing and increase our rent pursuant to contractual formulas.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Senior Housing reimbursed us $42.1 million for capital expenditures made at the properties leased from Senior Housing and these purchases resulted in our annual rent being increased by $3.6 million.

 

On June 30, 2008, we and Senior Housing realigned our three principal combination leases.  The aggregate rent payable by us to Senior Housing is unchanged as a result of this lease realignment and the rent on future sales of property to Senior Housing, if and as Senior Housing purchases improvements to the leased properties, will be set at the greater of 8.0% per annum or the 10 year Treasury rate plus 300 basis points.

 

Included in the 180 senior living communities we lease from Senior Housing are seven assisted living communities located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that were previously operated by NewSeasons Assisted Living Communities, Inc., or “NewSeasons”, under leases from Senior Housing.  We began to lease these communities in July, 2008.  In consideration of our lease assumption, NewSeasons paid us $10.0 million and transferred title to certain personal property located at the communities.  We have recorded this lease concession as a deferred credit on our balance sheet, which will be amortized as a reduction or rent expense over the remaining lease term.  Simultaneously with our leasing these seven communities from Senior Housing, we purchased three other NewSeasons communities from Senior Housing with 278 units located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for $21.4 million.  We allocated the purchase price of these communities to land, building and equipment.  The purchase price of these properties was equal to the seller’s net book value which reflected the fair market value of these properties, based on appraisals by an independent appraiser.  The remaining seven communities with 716 units are leased from Senior Housing for annual rent of approximately $7.6 million per year.  These ten communities complement our business strategy of focusing our operations in high quality senior living assets where residents pay for our services with private resources.  All of the revenues of these communities come from residents’ private resources.

 

On August 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing two assisted living communities with a total of 112 living units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for these two communities is $1.2 million per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added these communities to our existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending in 2024, with renewal options thereafter.  In addition, we purchased land adjacent to one of these communities for $890,000 for future development.

 

On September 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing eight independent living communities with a total of 451 living units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for these eight communities is $5.0 million per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added these communities to our existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending in 2024, with renewal options thereafter.

 

On November 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing a continuing care retirement community with a total of 249 independent living and skilled nursing units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for this community is $2.4 million per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added this community to our existing lease

with Senior Housing which has a term ending 2024, with renewal options thereafter.  In addition, we purchased land adjacent to this community for $3.0 million for future development.

 

Our Revenues

 

Our revenues from services to residents at our senior living communities and patients of our rehabilitation hospitals and clinics are our primary source of cash to fund our operating expenses, including rent, principal and interest payments on our debt, and our capital expenditures.

 

During the past several months, our census has been negatively affected by worsening economic conditions in many of the markets that we serve.  These conditions appear to be impacting many companies both within and outside of our industry and there can be no certainty as to when conditions may improve.

 

At some of our senior living communities, we receive operating revenues for skilled nursing services from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  Medicare and Medicaid revenues from senior living communities were earned primarily at our 49 skilled nursing facilities.  We derived 30% and 34% of our senior living revenue from these programs during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 32% and 34% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Our net Medicare revenues from services to senior living community residents totaled $102.0 million and $91.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  In October 2007, our senior living community Medicare rates increased by approximately 3.5% over the prior period.  Our net Medicaid revenues from services to senior living community residents totaled $116.3 million and $108.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 rates.  Worsening economic conditions in many states are causing budget shortfalls, increasing the likelihood of Medicaid rate reductions, freezes, or increases that are insufficient to offset increasing operating costs.  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 impact on us 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.  Effective as of October 1, 2008, the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, increased Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities by approximately 3.4% for the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, under a rule adding an annual update to account for inflation in the cost of goods and services included in a skilled nursing facility stay.  CMS had proposed a recalibration of the payment categories for skilled nursing facilities, which would have resulted in a net reduction of rates by approximately 0.3% in federal fiscal year 2009, but delayed the recalibration in order to continue to evaluate the data.  On July 15, 2008, as part of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, Congress enacted an 18-month extension of the Medicare outpatient therapy exception process through the end of 2009, under which Medicare may approve payments for medically necessary outpatient therapies which exceed the Medicare payment caps.  This July 15, 2008 law may forestall a reduction in certain therapy revenues we have historically realized.

 

We began operating our two rehabilitation hospitals in October 2006.  Approximately 63% and 68% of our revenues from these hospitals came from the Medicare and Medicaid programs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  In October 2007, our rehabilitation hospital Medicare rates increased by approximately 3.5% over the prior period.  However, for payments on and after April 1, 2008 as required by the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007, Medicare inflation rate increases for these hospitals are set at zero per cent for the Federal fiscal years ending September 30, 2008 and 2009, eliminating substantially all of the October 2007 rate increase.  On July 31, 2008, CMS issued a rule updating the Medicare rates for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, or IRFs, for the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.  The rule recalculates the weights assigned to patient case-mix groups that are used to calculate Medicare rates for IRFs under the prospective payment system.  The rule also re-sets the outlier threshold to maintain estimated outlier payments at 3% of total estimated IRF payments for fiscal year 2009.  CMS estimates that the changes contained in the rule will result in a decrease of 0.7% to total Medicare payments to IRFs for federal fiscal year 2009.  In May 2004, CMS issued a rule establishing revised Medicare criteria that rehabilitation hospitals are required to meet in order to participate as an IRF in the Medicare program.  As recently amended, the rule requires that 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’s designated medical conditions.  An IRF that fails to meet the requirements of this 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, 2008 and November 6, 2008, we believe we are in compliance with the CMS requirements to remain an IRF.  However, the actual percentage of patients at these hospitals who meet these Medicare requirements may not remain as high as we anticipate, or may decline.  A CMS finding of non-compliance, if it occurs, would result in our receiving lower Medicare rates than we currently receive at our hospitals.

 

Debt Instruments and Covenants

 

We have a $40.0 million revolving bank line of credit facility available for general business purposes, including acquisitions and working capital, which is currently scheduled to expire in May 2009.  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; and this facility also places limits on our ability to incur or assume debt or create liens with respect to certain of our assets and has other customary provisions.  In certain circumstances and subject to available collateral and lender approvals, the maximum amounts which we may borrow under this credit facility may be increased to $80.0 million.  The termination date may be extended twice, in each case by twelve months upon our payment of extension fees and other conditions, including lenders’ approvals.  As of September 30, 2008 and November 6, 2008, no amounts were outstanding under this credit facility.  As of September 30, 2008 and November 6, 2008 we believe we are in compliance with all applicable covenants under this credit facility.

 

While we currently have no outstanding borrowings on our bank facility, we may borrow amounts under the facility before it expires in May 2009, including to purchase the seven communities for approximately $44 million from affiliates of Sunwest Management, Inc.  If we have outstanding borrowings under the facility and are unable to extend it when it expires, we would need to explore alternatives for the repayment of amounts due.  Such alternatives may include incurring additional debt and engaging in sale leaseback transactions relating to some or all of our owned communities.  While we believe we will be able to extend the bank facility or raise funds to repay any outstanding borrowings, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so or that our cost associated with any such transaction will be reasonable.  If current market conditions continue or worsen, our lender under our bank facility may be unable or unwilling to fund advances which we request or we may not be able to access additional capital.  Impacts such as these and general capital markets conditions could impair our ability to make future acquisitions and make our current growth plans unachievable.  Also, the current market conditions have led to materially increased credit spreads which, if they continue, may result in material increase in indexes, such as LIBOR, which determine the interest rate under our bank facility.  If we borrow money under the facility, these interest cost increases could have material and adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

At September 30, 2008, three of our senior living communities were encumbered by HUD insured mortgages totaling $12.6 million.  The weighted average interest rate on these loans was 6.2%.  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.

 

In September 2008, we prepaid two HUD insured mortgages that were secured by one of our senior living communities.  We paid $2.4 million in principal and interest to retire these two mortgages, and no prepayment penalty was required.  Because we had recorded these mortgages at a premium to their face value under applicable accounting rules, we recognized a net gain of $743,000 in connection with this early extinguishment of debt.

 

In October 2006, we issued $126.5 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2026, or the Notes.  Our net proceeds from this issuance 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 the Notes at any time after October 20, 2011 and the Note holders may require that we purchase all or a portion of these Notes on each of October 15 of 2013, 2016 and 2021.  We issued these Notes pursuant to an indenture which contains various customary covenants. As of September 30, 2008 and November 6, 2008, we believe we are in compliance with all applicable covenants of this indenture.

 

Seasonality

 

Our business is subject to modest effects of seasonality. During the fourth calendar 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 Person Transactions

 

Senior Housing is our former parent company and we have various continuing relationships with Senior Housing.  We lease 180 of the 202 senior living communities and the two rehabilitation hospitals that we operated on September 30, 2008 from Senior Housing for total annual minimum rent of $168.2 million.  In addition to the minimum rent, we paid $794,000 and $877,000 in percentage rent to Senior Housing for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and

 

27



Table of Contents

 

2007, respectively, and $2.7 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Upon our request, Senior Housing may purchase our capital improvements and other investments made at the properties we lease from Senior Housing and increase our rent pursuant to contractual formulas.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Senior Housing reimbursed us $42.1 million for capital expenditures made at the properties leased from Senior Housing and these purchases resulted in our annual rent being increased by $3.6 million.

 

On June 30, 2008, we and Senior Housing realigned our three principal combination leases.  The aggregate rent payable by us to Senior Housing is unchanged as a result of this lease realignment and the rent on future sales of property to Senior Housing, if and as Senior Housing purchases improvements to the leased properties, will be set at the greater of 8.0% per annum or the 10 year Treasury rate plus 300 basis points.

 

Included in the 180 senior living communities we lease from Senior Housing are seven assisted living communities located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that were previously operated by NewSeasons Assisted Living Communities, Inc., or “NewSeasons”, under leases from Senior Housing.  We began to lease these communities in July, 2008.  In consideration of our lease assumption, NewSeasons paid us $10.0 million and transferred title to certain personal property located at the communities.  We have recorded this lease concession as a deferred credit on our balance sheet, which will be amortized as a reduction or rent expense over the remaining lease term.  Simultaneously with our leasing these seven communities from Senior Housing, we purchased three other NewSeasons communities from Senior Housing with 278 units located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for $21.4 million.  We allocated the purchase price of these communities to land, building and equipment.  The purchase price of these properties was equal to the seller’s net book value which reflected the fair market value of these properties, based on appraisals by an independent appraiser.  The remaining seven communities with 716 units are leased from Senior Housing for annual rent of approximately $7.6 million per year.  These ten communities complement our business strategy of focusing our operations in high quality senior living assets where residents pay for our services with private resources.  All of the revenues of these communities come from residents’ private resources.

 

On August 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing two assisted living communities with a total of 112 living units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for these two communities is $1.2 million per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added these communities to our existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending in 2024, with renewal options thereafter.  In addition, we purchased land adjacent to one of these communities for $890,000 for future development.

 

On September 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing eight independent living communities with a total of 451 living units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for these eight communities is $5.0 million per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added these communities to our existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending in 2024, with renewal options thereafter.

 

On November 1, 2008, we leased from Senior Housing a continuing care retirement community with a total of 249 independent living and skilled nursing units which Senior Housing purchased from an unrelated party.  Our rent payable to Senior Housing for this community is $2.4 million per year, plus future increases calculated as a percentage of the revenue increase at these communities after 2010.  We added this community to our existing lease with Senior Housing which has a term ending 2024, with renewal options thereafter.  In addition, we purchased land adjacent to this community for $3.0 million for future development.

 

Other historical and continuing related party transactions are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and in our definitive Proxy Statement relating to the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 15, 2008, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or S.E.C, on April 2, 2008 and available at the S.E.C website www.sec.gov.

 

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, 2007.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

At September 30, 2008, we owned certain auction rate securities.  As a result of the current conditions in the capital markets, our auction rate securities have experienced multiple failed auctions and, as a result, there is currently no market for our sale of these securities which we believe reflects their value. While we continue to earn and receive interest on these investments at the contractual rates, we believe that the fair values of these auction rate securities no longer approximate par value.  Due to the declines in fair value for our auction rate securities through the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we have recorded an unrealized loss of $6.1 million.  We determined this unrealized loss by reference to a statement provided by our securities broker which statement was calculated with the assistance of a valuation model.  This model considered, among other items, the collateral underlying the investments, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows including possible refinancing of the securities and a determination of the appropriate discount rate.  This third party analysis also included a comparison, when possible, to other observable market data with characteristics similar to our auction rate securities.  We reviewed the components of, and the calculations made under, our broker’s model.  The valuation of our auction rate securities is subject to uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Factors that may impact our valuation include changes to credit ratings of the securities as well as to the underlying assets supporting those securities, rates of default of the underlying assets, underlying collateral value, discount rates and the ongoing strength and quality of credit market conditions and liquidity. We do not anticipate having to sell these auction rate securities in order to operate our business. We believe that, based on our current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balances of approximately $40 million at September 30, 2008, the current lack of liquidity in the credit and capital markets will not have a material impact on our liquidity, our cash flow, or our ability to fund our day to day operations.  See Item 2 above, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Recent Developments: Investments”.

 

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, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

·                  Former Article IX of our bylaws (now Article X of the Amended and Restated Bylaws) was amended by removing the provision expressly authorizing the Board of Directors, before payment of any dividends or other distributions, to set aside out of any funds of ours available for dividends or other distributions such sum or sums as the Board of Directors may from time to time, in its absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund for contingencies or for any other purpose as the Board of Directors shall determine to be in our best interest;

To the extent that the amendments to our bylaws, as well as the preexisting provisions of our bylaws, contain provisions which limit the ability of a stockholder to remove management or directors or restrict the ability to own or transfer shares of our stock, those provisions may have anti-takeover effects.

 

The foregoing summary of the amendments to the existing bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amendments and the Amended and Restated Bylaws.  The Amended and Restated Bylaws, and a copy marked to show changes from the prior bylaws, are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Acquisition Agreement

 

On October 10, 2008, we executed an agreement with certain affiliates of Sunwest Management, Inc. to acquire seven independent living, assisted living and Alzheimer's care communities with a total of 624 living units for a purchase price of approximately $44,000.  These communities are located in North and South Carolina.  The sellers are in bankruptcy and our agreement is subject to an auction process and bankruptcy court approval.  If the properties are sold to another bidder, we are entitled to a breakup fee in the amount of $500.  If we are successful at this auction and our purchase is approved by the bankruptcy court, we expect to close this acquisition in the fourth quarter of the 2008. This closing is subject to various closing conditions (including licensing approvals) and there can be no assurances that we will close this acquisition.  We intend to fund this purchase with cash on hand and drawings on our existing bank credit facility or the UBS credit facility which may be available to us in connection with our investments in auction rate securities.
