1. General

LTC Properties, Inc., a health care real estate investment trust (or REIT), was incorporated on May 12, 1992 in the State of Maryland and commenced operations on August 25, 1992. We invest primarily in senior housing and long-term health care properties through acquisitions, development, mortgage loans and other investments. We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting and internal decision making purposes. Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in senior housing and long-term health care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary senior housing and long-term health care property types include skilled nursing properties (or SNF), assisted living properties (or ALF), independent living properties (or ILF), memory care properties (or MC) and combinations thereof. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property type and form of investment.

We have prepared consolidated financial statements included herein without audit and in the opinion of management have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or SEC). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations governing the presentation of interim financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Our company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, we generally are not taxed on income that is distributed to our stockholders.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncement.

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (or ASU 2014-08), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. ASU 2014-08 is effective in the first quarter of 2015 with early adoption permitted. We elected early adoption of ASU 2014-08 and have not reclassified results of operations for properties disposed subsequent to January 1, 2014 as discontinued operations as these disposals do not represent strategic shifts in our operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (or ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606. ASU 2014-09 provides for a single comprehensive principles based standard for the recognition of revenue across all industries through the application of the following five-step process:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

This GAAP update also requires expanded disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Real Estate Investments

Assisted living properties, independent living properties, memory care properties, and combinations thereof are included in the assisted living property type. Range of care properties (or ROC) property type consists of properties providing skilled nursing and any combination of assisted living, independent living and/or memory care services.

Any reference to the number of properties, number of schools, number of units, number of beds, and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Owned Properties. The following table summarizes our investments in owned properties at June 30, 2014 (dollar amounts in thousands):

						Average
			Number	Number of		Investment
Type of Property	Gross Investments	Percentage of Investments	of Properties (1)	SNF Beds	ALF Units	per Bed/Unit
Skilled Nursing	$459,470	48.0%	68	8,264	—	$55.60
Assisted Living	405,048	42.4%	96	—	4,496	$90.09
Range of Care	43,906	4.6%	8	634	274	$48.35
Under Development (2)	37,659	3.9%	—	—	—	—
Other (3)	10,433	1.1%	1	—	—	—
Totals	$956,516	100.0%	173	8,898	4,770

(1) We own properties in 26 states that are leased to 31 different operators.

(2) Includes three MC developments with a total of 168 units, a combination ALF and MC development with 81 units, and a SNF development with 143 beds.

(3) Includes one school property and four parcels of land held-for-use.

Owned properties are leased pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases generally with an initial term of 10 to 15 years. Each lease is a triple net lease which requires the lessee to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, capital and non-capital expenditures and other costs necessary in the operations of the facilities. Many of the leases contain renewal options. The leases provide for fixed minimum base rent during the initial and renewal periods. The majority of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year that are generally computed in one of four ways depending on specific provisions of each lease:

(i) a specified percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%;

(ii) a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index;

(iii) as a percentage of facility net patient revenues in excess of base amounts; or

(iv) specific dollar increases.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we sold two assisted living properties located in Florida and Georgia with a total of 133 units and one school property located in Minnesota for a combined sales price of $7,850,000, resulting in net sales proceeds of $7,707,000, and a net gain on sale of $1,140,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold a 47-bed skilled nursing property in Colorado for $1,000 and recognized a $1,014,000 loss on sale.

We have a commitment to provide, under certain conditions, up to $5,000,000 per year through December 2014 to an existing operator for expansion of the 37 properties they lease from us. The estimated yield of this commitment is 9.5% plus the positive difference, if any, between the average yields on the U.S. Treasury 10-year note for the five days prior to funding, minus 420 basis points. As of June 30, 2014, no funds have been requested under this commitment and it is highly unlikely any funds will be expended based on the lease termination date.

(1) We have investments in properties located in 9 states that include mortgages to 12 different operators.

(2) Includes a mortgage and construction loan secured by a closed skilled nursing property and a newly constructed 106-bed replacement property.

At June 30, 2014, the mortgage loans had interest rates ranging from 7.1% to 13.6% and maturities ranging from 2014 to 2043. In addition, some loans contain certain guarantees, provide for certain facility fees and generally have 20-year to 30-year amortization schedules. The majority of the mortgage loans provide for annual increases in the interest rate based upon a specified increase of 10 to 25 basis points.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we received $1,054,000 and $938,000, respectively, in regularly scheduled principal payments. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we funded $3,010,000 and $913,000, respectively, under a $10,600,000 mortgage and construction loan. This mortgage and construction loan has been fully funded with no remaining commitments and is secured by a skilled nursing property and a newly constructed 106-bed replacement skilled nursing property. The residents of the old skilled nursing property were relocated to the newly

constructed 106-bed replacement skilled nursing property. The borrower closed the old skilled nursing property and is responsible for marketing and selling it. In July 2014, we funded a $3,027,000 mortgage loan secured by a 100-unit independent living property in Arizona. The loan is for a term of five years and bears interest at 7.0%, escalating 0.25% annually. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we funded $697,000 under a $12,000,000 capital improvement commitment to an existing borrower and we have a remaining commitment of $11,303,000 at June 30, 2014.

3. Notes Receivable

Notes receivable consists of various loans and line of credit agreements with certain operators. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $72,000 and funded $89,000 in principal under these notes. In the comparable 2013 period, we received $2,413,000 in principal payments which included $2,372,000 for the early repayment of an 8.5% term loan. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, we funded $510,000 under these notes.

At June 30, 2014, we had eight loans and line of credit agreements with a total commitment to fund $2,678,000. As of June 30, 2014, we funded $612,000 under these commitments and we have a remaining commitment of $2,066,000. The weighted average interest rate of these loans is 11.8%. In July 2014, we funded an additional $182,000 under these commitments and we have a remaining commitment of $1,884,000.

4. Debt Obligations

Bank Borrowings. We have an Unsecured Credit Agreement that provides for a revolving line of credit up to $240,000,000 with the opportunity to increase the credit amount up to a total of $350,000,000. The Unsecured Credit Agreement matures on May 25, 2016 and provides for a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. Based on our leverage at June 30, 2014, the facility provides for interest annually at LIBOR plus 125 basis points and an unused commitment fee of 25 basis points.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we borrowed $21,000,000 under our Unsecured Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2014, we had $42,000,000 outstanding and $198,000,000 available for borrowing. In July 2014, we borrowed $5,000,000 under our Unsecured Credit Agreement. Accordingly we have $47,000,000 outstanding and $193,000,000 available for borrowing. At June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $251,633,000 and $255,800,000, respectively, outstanding under our Senior Unsecured Notes with a weighted average interest rate of 4.8%. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid $4,167,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments. At June 30, 2014, we had $30,000,000 available under an Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf agreement which provides for the possible issuance of senior unsecured fixed-rate term notes through October 19, 2014.

In July 2014, we locked rate on the sale of $30,000,000 senior unsecured term notes to affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. under our Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf agreement. These notes will bear interest at 4.5% and mature on July 31, 2026. We anticipate funding to occur during the third quarter of 2014 and expect to use proceeds to pay down our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Bonds Payable. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had outstanding principal of $1,400,000 and $2,035,000 respectively, on multifamily tax-exempt revenue bonds that are secured by five assisted living properties in Washington. These bonds bear interest at a variable rate that is reset weekly and will mature during 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the weighted average interest rate, including letter of credit

fees, on the outstanding bonds was 3.3%. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid $635,000 and $600,000, respectively, in regularly scheduled principal payments. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate carrying value of real estate properties securing our bonds payable was $6,254,000 and $6,386,000, respectively.

Balance at June 30, 2014	$632,276

Preferred Stock. At June 30, 2014, we had 2,000,000 shares of our 8.5% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (or Series C preferred stock) outstanding. Our Series C preferred stock is convertible into 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at $19.25 per share. Total shares reserved for issuance of common stock related to the conversion of Series C preferred stock were 2,000,000 shares at June 30, 2014.

Common Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we acquired 200 shares and 600 shares, respectively, of common stock held by employees who tendered owned shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold 4,025,000 shares of common stock at a price of $44.50 per share, before fees and costs of $7,707,000, in a public offering. The net proceeds of $171,406,000 were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Agreement, to fund our current development commitments and general corporate purposes.

We had an equity distribution agreement which allowed us to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $85,686,000 in aggregate offering price of our common shares. Sales of common shares were made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed between us and our sales agents. During the six months ended June 31, 2013, we sold 126,742 shares of common stock for $4,895,000 in net proceeds under our equity distribution agreement. In conjunction with the sale of common stock, during 2013, we reclassified $662,000 of accumulated costs associated with the equity distribution agreement to additional paid in capital.

Available Shelf Registrations. On July 19, 2013, we filed a Form S-3ASR “shelf” registration statement to replace our prior shelf registration statement. This current shelf registration statement provides us with the capacity to offer up to $800,000,000 in common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time raise capital under this current shelf registration in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering.

Non-controlling Interests. We currently have no limited partners. During 2012, we had one limited partnership. The limited partnership agreement allowed the limited partners to convert, on a one-for-one basis, their limited partnership units into shares of common stock or the cash equivalent, at our option. Since we exercised control, we consolidated the limited partnership and we carried the non-controlling interests at cost. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we paid $7,000 of accrued distributions to our former limited partners.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 2014, we had outstanding commitments totaling $80,806,000 to develop, re-develop, renovate or expand senior housing and long-term health care properties. As of June 30, 2014, we have funded $50,496,000 under these commitments and we have a remaining commitment of $30,310,000. In July 2014, we funded $2,794,000 under investment commitments. Accordingly, we have a remaining commitment of $27,516,000. We also have a commitment to provide, under certain conditions, up to $5,000,000 per year through December 2014 to an existing operator for expansion of the 37 properties they lease from us. See Note 2. Real Estate Investments for further discussion of these commitments.

Additionally at June 30, 2014, we have a commitment to provide an existing borrower $12,000,000 for capital improvements. As of June 30, 2014, we funded $697,000 under the capital improvement commitment and we have a remaining commitment of $11,303,000. We also provided this borrower a commitment to borrow up to an additional $40,000,000 of loan proceeds under certain conditions and based on certain operating metrics and valuation thresholds. Since these conditions have not been met, no funding has been made under this additional loan commitment.

At June 30, 2014, we committed to provide $2,678,000 in loans and line of credit agreements. As of June 30, 2014, we had funded $612,000 under these commitments and we have a remaining commitment of $2,066,000. In July 2014, we funded an additional $182,000 under these commitments and we have a remaining commitment of $1,884,000. See Note 3. Notes Receivable for further discussion of these commitments.

As part of an acquisition in 2011, we committed to provide a contingent payment if certain operational thresholds are met. The contingent payment was recorded at fair value, which was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, and we were accreting the contingent liability to the settlement amount as of the payment date. During the third quarter of 2013, we paid $7,000,000 related to the contingent liability. Accordingly, we have no remaining contingent liability as of June 30, 2014. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded non-cash interest expense of $110,000 and $220,000, respectively, related to the contingent liability.

7. Major Operators

We have two operators from each of which we derive over 10% of our combined rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans.

Prestige Healthcare (or Prestige) is a privately held company and operates 15 skilled nursing properties and two range of care properties that we own or on which we hold a mortgage secured by first trust deeds. These properties consist of a total of 2,176 skilled nursing beds and 93 assisted living units. Additionally, Prestige manages four parcels of land that we own. These assets represent 14.4% or $135,732,000, of our total assets at June 30, 2014 and generated 11.2% of our combined rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Senior Care Centers, LLC (or Senior Care) is a privately held company. Senior Care leases nine skilled nursing properties with a total of 1,190 beds owned by us representing approximately 10.9%, or $103,188,000, of our total assets at June 30, 2014 and generated 10.5% of our combined rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our master lease with Extendicare, Inc. (or Extendicare) and Enlivant (formerly known as Assisted Living Concepts, LLC) covering 37 assisted living properties with a total of 1,429 units will expire on December 31, 2014. In 2013, Enlivant merged with Aid Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (or Aid Holdings), and Aid Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Aid Holdings (or Aid Merger Sub). Aid Holdings and Aid Merger Sub are affiliates of TPG Capital, L.P. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, this portfolio generated approximately $5,482,000 or 9.4% of our combined rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to re-lease these communities on a timely basis, if at all, or that the new rents will be the same as the current rents. In January 2014, we retained CS Capital Advisors, LLC, as our advisors, to assist in repositioning these properties through new leases with other operators or strategically offering certain properties for sale.

Our financial position and ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by financial difficulties experienced by Prestige Healthcare, Senior Care, or any of our lessees and borrowers, including any bankruptcies, inability to emerge from bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in business of any such operator, or in the event any such operator does not renew and/or extend its relationship with us or our borrowers when it expires.

9. Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. We did not adopt the elective fair market value option for our financial assets and financial liabilities.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. We do not invest our cash in auction rate securities. The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 assuming election of fair value for our financial assets and financial liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

		At June 30, 2014		At December 31, 2013
		Carrying Value	Fair Value	Carrying Value	Fair Value
	Mortgage loans receivable	$168,068	$196,275(1)	$165,444	$200,248(1)
	Bonds payable	1,400	1,400 (2)	2,035	2,035(2)
	Bank borrowings	42,000	42,000 (2)	21,000	21,000 (2)
	Senior unsecured notes	251,633	260,980(3)	255,800	262,351(3)

(1) Our investment in mortgage loans receivable is classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the mortgage loans receivable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 8.5% and 8.4%, respectively. (2) Our bonds payable and bank borrowings are at a variable interest rate. The estimated fair value of our bonds payable and bank borrowings approximated their carrying values at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 based upon prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements. (3) Our obligation under our senior unsecured notes is classified as Level 3 and thus the fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is measured based upon management’s estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us, and instruments of comparable maturities. At June 30, 2014, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 3.80% for those maturing before year 2020 and 3.95% for those maturing beyond year 2020. At December 31, 2013, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 3.95% for those maturing before year 2020 and 4.25% for those maturing beyond year 2020.

10. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2014 the following events occurred.

Real Estate – Owned Properties: We funded $2,794,000 under ongoing real estate investment commitments. Accordingly, we have a remaining commitment of $27,516,000. See Note 2. Real Estate Investments for further discussion on the commitments.

Real Estate – Mortgage Loans: We funded a $3,027,000 mortgage loan secured by a 100-unit independent living property in Arizona. See Note 2. Real Estate Investments for further discussion of the mortgage loan funding.

Notes Receivable: We funded $182,000 under loans and line of credit agreements with a remaining commitment of $1,884,000. See Note 3. Notes Receivable for further discussion of these commitments.

Debt Obligations: We locked rate on the sale of $30,000,000 senior unsecured term notes to affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. under our Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf agreement. These notes will bear interest at 4.5% and will mature on July 31, 2026. We anticipate funding to occur during the third quarter of 2014 and expect to use proceeds to pay down our unsecured revolving line of credit. See Note 4. Debt Obligations for further discussion.

Executive Overview

Business

We are a self-administered health care real estate investment trust (or REIT) that invests primarily in senior housing and long-term health care properties through acquisitions, development, mortgage loans and other investments. We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting and internal decision making purposes. Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in senior housing and long-term health care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary senior housing and long-term health care property types include skilled nursing properties (or SNF), assisted living properties (or ALF), independent living properties (or ILF), memory care properties (or MC) and combinations thereof. ALF, ILF, MC, and combinations thereof are included in the ALF property type. Range of care properties (or ROC) property type consists of properties providing skilled nursing and any combination of assisted living, independent living and/or memory care services. As of June 30, 2014, senior housing and long-term health care properties comprised approximately 99% of our investment portfolio. We have been operating since August 1992.

(5) See Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 2. Real Estate Investments for discussion of bed/unit count.

(6) Includes a mortgage and construction loan secured by a closed skilled nursing property and a newly constructed 106-bed replacement property.

(7) Includes three MC developments with a total of 168 units, a combination ALF and MC development with 81 units, and a SNF development with 143 beds.

As of June 30, 2014 we had $896.3 million in carrying value of net real estate investments, consisting of $728.2 million or 81.2% invested in owned and leased properties and $168.1 million or 18.8% invested in mortgage loans secured by first mortgages.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, rental income and interest income from mortgage loans represented 85.7% and 14.0%, respectively, of total gross revenues. In most instances, our lease structure contains fixed annual rental escalations, which are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease period. Certain leases have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index and/or changes in the gross operating revenues of the property. This revenue is not recognized until the appropriate contingencies have been resolved. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $1.2 million in straight-line rental income and $12,000 of straight-line rent receivable reserve. We currently expect that straight-line rental income will decrease from a projected $2.2 million in 2014 to a projected $1.8 million in 2015 and our cash rental income is projected to decrease from a projected $97.3 million in 2014 to a projected $84.6 million in 2015 for leases in place at June 30, 2014, excluding leases on non-accrual status and no modification or replacement of existing leases, no lease renewals including the Extendicare/ Enlivant lease, and no new leased investments are added to our portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $49.4 million of cash rental revenue and recorded amortization of lease inducement cost of $0.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, no leases were renewed. At June 30, 2014, the straight-line rent receivable balance, net of reserves, on the balance sheet was $30.9 million.

Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in senior housing and long-term health care properties managed by experienced operators. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property type and form of investment. We opportunistically consider investments in health care facilities in related businesses where the business model is similar to our existing model and the opportunity provides an attractive expected return. Consistent with this strategy, we pursue, from time to time, opportunities for potential acquisitions and investments, with due diligence and negotiations often at different stages of development at any particular time.

· With respect to skilled nursing properties, a primary component of our strategy is to invest in new or modernized properties operated by experienced, regionally-based operators demonstrating established relationships with local health care systems and managed care provider networks. We prefer to invest in a property that has significant market presence in its community and where state certificate of need and/or licensing procedures limit the entry of competing properties.

· For assisted living and independent living investments we have attempted to diversify our portfolio both geographically and across product levels.

· Memory care facilities offer specialized options for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Purpose built, free-standing memory care facilities offer an attractive alternative for private-pay residents affected by memory loss in comparison to other accommodations that typically have been provided within a secured unit of an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. These facilities offer dedicated care and specialized programming for various conditions relating to memory loss in a secured environment that is typically smaller in scale and more residential in nature than traditional assisted living facilities. Residents require a higher level of care and more assistance with activities of daily living than in assisted living facilities. Therefore, these facilities have staff available 24 hours a day to respond to the unique needs of their residents.

Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals and interest earned on outstanding loans receivable. Our investments in owned properties and mortgage loans represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions and are dependent upon the performance of the operators on their lease and loan obligations and the rates earned thereon. To the extent that the operators experience operating difficulties and are unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods determined by the type of health care facility and operator. Our monitoring process includes periodic review of financial statements for each facility, periodic review of operator credit, scheduled property inspections and review of covenant compliance.

In addition to our monitoring and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk. Some operating leases and loans are credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit. In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the operator and its affiliates.

Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we anticipate making additional investments in health care related properties. New investments are generally funded from cash on hand, temporary borrowings under our unsecured revolving line of credit and internally generated cash flows. Our investments generate internal cash from rent and interest receipts and principal payments on mortgage loans receivable. Permanent financing for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under our unsecured revolving line of credit, is expected to be provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities and secured and unsecured debt financing. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets’ environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital.

We believe our business model has enabled and will continue to enable us to maintain the integrity of our property investments, including in response to financial difficulties that may be experienced by operators. Traditionally, we have taken a conservative approach to managing our business, choosing to maintain liquidity and exercise patience until favorable investment opportunities arise.

At June 30, 2014, we had $8.1 million of cash on hand, $198.0 million available under our unsecured revolving line of credit, and $30.0 million available under the uncommitted private shelf

agreement for our senior unsecured notes. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we borrowed $5.0 million under our unsecured revolving line of credit. Accordingly we have $47.0 million outstanding and $193.0 million available for borrowing. Additionally, subsequent to June 30, 2014, we locked rate on the sale of $30.0 million senior unsecured term notes to affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. under our private shelf agreement which is now exhausted. We also have the potential ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities under our $800.0 million effective shelf registration. As a result, we believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital are sufficient to fund operations and development commitments, meet debt service obligations (both principal and interest), make dividend distributions and finance some future investments should we determine such future investments are financially feasible.

Health Care Regulatory Climate

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (or CMS) annually updates Medicare skilled nursing facility prospective payment system rates and other policies. On August 6, 2013, CMS published its final Medicare skilled nursing facility payment rate update for fiscal year 2014, which began on October 1, 2013. CMS estimates that the final rule will increase aggregate Medicare skilled nursing facility payments by $470 million, or 1.3%, compared to fiscal year 2013 levels. Specifically, under the final rule, Medicare rates are updated to reflect a 2.3% market basket increase that is reduced by a 0.5 percentage point “multifactor productivity adjustment” (described below), and that is further reduced by a 0.5 percentage point forecast error correction. CMS also rebased the skilled nursing facility market basket to reflect fiscal year 2010 data and made other policy changes. CMS released the final fiscal year 2015 Medicare skilled nursing facility payment update on July 31, 2014. Under the final rule, Medicare rates will be updated by 2%, based on a 2.5% market basket increase that is reduced by a 0.5 percentage point multifactor productivity adjustment. CMS estimates that the final rule will increase aggregate Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities by $750 million. There can be no assurance that future regulations modifying Medicare skilled nursing facility payment rates will not have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our borrowers and lessees which could, in turn, adversely impact the timing or level of their payments to us.

In March 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which subsequently was amended by the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively referred to as the “Affordable Care Act”). The Affordable Care Act is designed to expand access to affordable health insurance, contain health care costs, and institute a variety of health policy reforms. The provisions of the sweeping law may affect us directly, as well as impact our lessees and borrowers. While certain provisions, such as expanding the insured population, may positively impact the revenues of our lessees and borrowers, other provisions, particularly those intended to reduce federal health care spending, could have a negative impact on our lessees and borrowers. Among other things, the Affordable Care Act: reduces Medicare skilled nursing facility reimbursement by a so-called “multifactor productivity adjustment” based on economy-wide productivity gains; requires the development of a value-based purchasing program for Medicare skilled nursing facility services; establishes a national voluntary pilot program to bundle Medicare payments for hospital and post-acute services that could lead to changes in the delivery of post-acute services; and provides incentives to state Medicaid programs to promote community-based care as an alternative to institutional long-term health care services. The Affordable Care Act also includes provisions intended to expand public disclosure about nursing home ownership and operations, institute mandatory compliance and quality assurance programs, increase penalties for noncompliance, and expand fraud and abuse enforcement and penalty provisions that could impact our operators. In addition, the Affordable Care Act impacts both us and our lessees and borrowers as employers, including new requirements related to the health insurance we offer to our respective employees. Many aspects of the Affordable Care Act are being implemented through new regulations and subregulatory guidance. We cannot predict at this time what effect, if any, the various provisions of the Affordable Care Act will have on our lessees and borrowers or our business when fully implemented. There can be no assurances, however, that the Affordable Care Act will not adversely impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of our lessees and borrowers, which subsequently could materially adversely impact our revenue and operations.

Under the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011, as modified by the American Taxpayer Relief Act, President Obama issued a sequestration order on March 1, 2013 that mandates a 2% cut to Medicare payments to providers and health plans. The cuts generally apply to Medicare fee-for-service claims with dates-of-service or dates-of-discharge on or after April 1, 2013. As amended by subsequent legislation, the Medicare sequestration cuts are currently scheduled to be applied through fiscal year 2024, although Congress and the Administration could enact legislation to end or modify sequestration at any time. On April 1, 2014, President Obama signed into law H.R. 4302, the “Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014.” Among other things, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a skilled nursing facility “value-based purchasing program,” which will tie Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities to their performance on certain new readmissions measures, applicable to services furnished beginning October 1, 2018. Congress and the Administration also could consider other legislation that would have the impact of reducing Medicare reimbursement for skilled nursing facilities and other Medicare providers, encouraging home and community-based long term care services as an alternative to institutional settings, or otherwise reforming payment policy for post-acute care services. There can be no assurances that enacted or future budget control mechanisms will not have an adverse impact on the financial condition of our borrowers and lessees, which subsequently could materially adversely impact our company.

Additional reforms affecting the payment for and availability of health care services have been proposed at the state level and adopted by certain states. Congress and state legislatures can be expected to continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies. Changes in the law, new interpretations of existing laws, or changes in payment methodologies may have a dramatic effect on the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business and the amount of reimbursement by the government and other third party payors.

Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties

We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business. These indicators are discussed below and relate to concentration risk and credit strength. Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.

Concentration Risk. We evaluate by gross investment our concentration risk in terms of asset mix, investment mix, operator mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is valuable to understand what portion of our investments could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns. Asset mix measures the portion of our investments that are real property or mortgage loans. In order to qualify as an equity REIT, at least 75 percent of our total assets must be represented by real estate assets, cash, cash items and government securities. Investment mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our various property types. Operator mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top five operators. Geographic mix measures the portion of our investment that relate to our top five states.

(1) During the second quarter of 2014, we sold a school property. Accordingly, we had one school property and four parcels of land located adjacent to properties securing the Prestige Healthcare mortgage loan and are managed by Prestige Healthcare as of June 30, 2014.

(2) During the fourth quarter of 2013, we funded a $124,387 mortgage loan with Prestige Healthcare secured by 15 skilled nursing properties with a total of 2,092 beds in Michigan. Additionally, we purchased four parcels of land located adjacent to properties securing this mortgage loan. These land parcels are managed by Prestige Healthcare.

(3) On February 20, 2014, Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. (or Brookdale), parent company of Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc. (or Brookdale Communities), and Emeritus Corporation (or Emeritus) announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement to expand Brookdale’s unit capacity to a total of 112,700 units in 1,161 communities in 46 states. This transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014.

(4) Decrease due to the sale of six skilled nursing properties with a total of 230 beds.

(5) During the second quarter of 2014, we sold two assisted living properties located in Florida and Georgia.

Our master lease with Extendicare and Enlivant covering 37 assisted living properties will expire on December 31, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, this portfolio generated approximately $5.5 million or 9.4% of our combined rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to re-lease these communities on a timely basis, if at all, or that the new rents will be the same as the current rents. In January 2014, we retained CS Capital Advisors, LLC, as our advisors, to assist in repositioning these properties through new leases with other operators or strategically offering certain properties for sale.

Credit Strength. We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. Our leverage ratios include debt to gross asset value and debt to market capitalization. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our consolidated balance sheet capitalization is related to long term obligations. Our coverage ratios include interest coverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest and fixed charges (interest plus preferred dividends). The coverage ratios are based on adjusted earnings before gain on sale of real estate, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (or Adjusted EBITDA). Leverage ratios and coverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. The following table reflects the recent historical trends for our credit strength measures:

Balance Sheet Metrics

(1) Decrease primarily due to the increase in market capitalization.

(2) Increase primarily due to the increase of our unsecured revolving line of credit partially offset by the increase in gross asset value from additional development and capital improvement funding.

(3) Increase primarily due to the increase in outstanding debt due to the sale of senior unsecured notes partially offset by the increase in gross asset value from origination of a $124.4 million mortgage loan and additional development and capital improvement funding.

(4) Increase due to the increase in outstanding debt due to the sale of senior unsecured notes.

(5) Decrease primarily due to the increase in interest expense resulting from the sale of senior unsecured notes.

(6) Increase primarily due to the increased rental income from completed construction projects and the decrease in interest expense resulting from lower outstanding debt.

(7) In calculating our interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios above, we use Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not derived in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should not rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for any such U.S. GAAP financial measures or consider it in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our financial performance, financial position or cash flows. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.

We evaluate our key performance indicators in conjunction with current expectations to determine if historical trends are indicative of future results. Our expected results may not be achieved and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to

· The status of the economy;

· The status of capital markets, including prevailing interest rates;

· Compliance with and changes to regulations and payment policies within the health care industry;

· Changes in financing terms;

· Competition within the health care and senior housing industries; and

· Changes in federal, state and local legislation.

Management regularly monitors the economic and other factors listed above. We develop strategic and tactical plans designed to improve performance and maximize our competitive position. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives is dependent upon our ability to effectively execute these plans and to appropriately respond to emerging economic and company-specific trends.

(2) Increase due to the origination of a $124,387 mortgage loan during the fourth quarter of 2013 and additional funding for capital improvement commitments under certain mortgage loans partially offset by normal amortization of existing mortgage loans.

(3) Increase primarily due to higher average bank borrowings outstanding and the sale of senior unsecured notes in 2013 partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest related to development projects.

(4) Decrease primarily due to timing of expenditures relating to marketing sponsorships.

(5) Represents the gain on sale of two assisted living properties partially offset by the loss on sale of a school. During 2014, we adopted a new accounting principle which only requires the presentation of discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift in operations. The new accounting principle is applied prospectively to all disposals subsequent to the adoption. These disposals did not represent strategic shifts in our operations. As a result, we did not reclassify results of operations for these disposed properties.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations (or FFO) available to common stockholders, basic FFO available to common stockholders per share and diluted FFO available to common stockholders per share are supplemental measures of a REIT’s financial performance that are not defined by U.S. GAAP. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We believe that by excluding the effect of historical cost depreciation, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods.

We use FFO as a supplemental performance measurement of our cash flow generated by operations. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income available to common stockholders.

We calculate and report FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (or NAREIT). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP) excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from us; therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our FFO to that of other REITs.

The following table reconciles net income available to common stockholders to FFO available to common stockholders (unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities. At June 30, 2014, our real estate investment portfolio (before accumulated depreciation and amortization) consisted of $956.5 million invested primarily in owned long-term health care properties and mortgage loans of approximately $169.8 million (prior to deducting a $1.7 million reserve). Our portfolio consists of direct investments (properties that we either own or on which we hold promissory notes secured by first mortgages) in 101 skilled nursing properties, 104 assisted living properties, 9 range of care properties, one school, five parcels of land under development and four parcels of land held-for-use. These properties are located in 29 states. Assisted living properties, independent living properties, memory care properties and combinations thereof are included in the assisted living property type. Range of care properties consist of properties providing skilled nursing and any combination of assisted living, independent living and/or memory care services. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we had net cash provided by operating activities of $45.2 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $1.2 million in straight-line rental income and a reserve of $12,000 on our straight-line rent receivable. We currently expect that straight-line rental income will decrease from a projected $2.2 million in 2014 to a projected $1.8 million in 2015 and our cash rental income is projected to decrease from a projected $97.3 million in 2014 to a projected $84.6 million in 2015 for leases in place at June 30, 2014, excluding leases on non-accrual status and no modification or replacement of existing leases, no lease renewals including the Extendicare/ Enlivant lease, and no new leased investments are added to our portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $49.4 million of cash rental revenue and recorded amortization of lease inducement cost of $0.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, no leases were renewed. At June 30, 2014, the straight-line rent receivable balance, net of reserves, on the balance sheet was $30.9 million.

Investing and Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we used $23.3 million of cash for investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $1.1 million in regularly scheduled principal payments on our mortgage loans. Additionally, we funded $3.0 million under a $10.6 million mortgage and construction loan. This mortgage and construction loan has been fully funded with no remaining commitments and is secured by a skilled nursing property and a newly constructed 106-bed replacement skilled nursing property. The residents of the old skilled nursing property were relocated to the newly constructed 106-bed replacement skilled nursing property. The borrower closed the old skilled nursing property and is responsible for marketing and selling it. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we funded a $3.0 million mortgage loan secured by a 100-unit independent living property in Arizona. The loan is for a term of five years and bears interest at 7.0%, escalating 0.25% annually.

Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, we funded $0.7 million under a $12.0 million capital improvement commitment to an existing borrower and we have a remaining commitment of $11.3 million at June 30, 2014. We also provided this borrower a commitment to borrow up to an additional $40.0 million of loan proceeds under certain conditions and based on certain operating metrics and valuation thresholds. Since these conditions have not been met, no funding has been made under this additional loan commitment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold two assisted living properties located in Florida and Georgia with a total of 133 units and one school property located in Minnesota for a combined sales price of $7.9 million, resulting in net sales proceeds of $7.7 million, and a net gain on sale of $1.1 million.

As of June 30, 2014, we have a commitment to provide, under certain conditions, up to $5.0 million per year through December 2014 to an existing operator for expansion of the 37 properties they lease from us. The estimated yield of this commitment is 9.5% plus the positive difference, if any, between the average yields on the U.S. Treasury 10-year note for the five days prior to funding, minus 420 basis points. As of June 30, 2014, no funds have been requested under this commitment and it is highly unlikely any funds will be expended based on the lease termination date.

(3) Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we funded $2,794 under investment commitments. Accordingly, we have a remaining commitment of $27,516.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $0.1 million and funded $0.1 million in principal under our note receivable loans. At June 30, 2014, we had eight notes receivable outstanding with a total commitment to fund $2.7 million. As of June 30, 2014, we funded $0.6 million under these commitments and we have a remaining commitment of $2.1 million. The weighted average interest rate of these loans is 11.8%. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we funded an additional $0.2 million under these commitments and we have a remaining commitment of $1.9 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we used $20.7 million of cash in financing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid $0.6 million and $4.2 million in scheduled principal payments on bonds payable and senior unsecured notes, respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, we borrowed $21.0 million under our unsecured revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2014, we had $42.0 million outstanding under our unsecured revolving line of credit with $198.0 million available for borrowing. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we borrowed $5.0 million under our unsecured revolving line of credit. Accordingly we have $47.0 million outstanding and $193.0 million available for borrowing. At June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all our covenants.

Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we locked rate on the sale of $30.0 million senior unsecured term notes to affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. under our Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf agreement. These notes will bear interest at 4.5% and will mature on July 31, 2026. We anticipate funding to occur during the third quarter of 2014 and expect to use proceeds to pay down our unsecured revolving line of credit.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired 200 shares of common stock held by employees who tendered owned shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, a total of 11,666 stock options were exercised at a total option value of $0.3 million and a total market value on the date of exercise of $0.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we granted 15,000 options to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $38.43 per share. These stock options vest ratably over a three-year period from the grant date. At June 30, 2014, we had 76,668 stock options outstanding and 61,668 stock options were exercisable.

At June 30, 2014, the total number of stock options that are scheduled to vest through December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is 0; 5,000; 5,000 and 5,000, respectively. We have no stock options outstanding that are scheduled to vest beyond 2017. Compensation expense relating to the vesting of stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $5,000. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized related to the future service period of unvested outstanding stock options for 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is $7,000; $15,000; $15,000 and $2,000, respectively.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we granted the following restricted common shares:

No. of Shares	Price per Share	Vesting Period
59,000	$36.81	ratably over 3 years
3,000	$38.43	ratably over 3 years
15,000	$40.05	ratably over 3 years
10,500	$40.05	over 1 year
87,500

At June 30, 2014, we had 240,381 restricted common shares outstanding. The total number of restricted common shares that are scheduled to vest through December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is 33,713; 110,211; 66,726 and 29,731, respectively. We have no restricted common stock that are scheduled to vest beyond 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized $1.4 million of compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted common stock. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized related to the future service period of unvested outstanding restricted common stock for 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 is $1.7 million; $2.5 million; $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid cash dividends on our 8.5% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock totaling $1.6 million. Additionally, we declared and paid cash dividends on our common stock totaling $35.5 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.17 per share on our common stock for the months of July, August and September, payable on July 31, August 29, and September 30, 2014, respectively, to stockholders of record on July 23, August 21, and September 22, 2014, respectively.

Available Shelf Registration. On July 19, 2013, we filed a Form S-3ASR “shelf” registration statement to replace our prior shelf registration statement. Our current shelf registration statement provides us with the capacity to offer up to $800.0 million in common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time raise capital under our current shelf registration in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering.

Liquidity. We expect our future income and ability to make distributions from cash flows from operations to depend on the collectibility of our rents and mortgage loans receivable. The collection of these loans and rents will be dependent, in large part, upon the successful operation by the operators of the skilled nursing properties, assisted living properties, independent living properties, memory care properties, range of care properties and school we own or that are pledged to us. The operating results of the facilities will be impacted by various factors over which the operators/owners may have no control. Those factors include, without limitation, the status of the economy, changes in supply of or demand for competing long-term health care facilities, ability to control rising operating costs, and the potential for significant reforms in the long-term health care industry. In addition, our future growth in net income and cash flow may be adversely impacted by various proposals for changes in the governmental regulations and financing of the long-term health care industry. We cannot presently predict what impact these proposals may have, if any. We believe that an adequate provision has been made for the possibility of loans proving uncollectible but we will continually evaluate the financial status of the operations of the senior housing and long-term health care properties. In addition, we will monitor our borrowers and the underlying collateral for mortgage loans and will make future revisions to the provision, if considered necessary.

Our investments, principally our investments in mortgage loans and owned properties, are subject to the possibility of loss of their carrying values as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and inflationary expectations. The effects on interest rates may affect our costs of financing our operations and the fair market value of our financial assets. Generally our loans have predetermined increases in interest rates and our leases have agreed upon annual increases. Inasmuch as we may initially fund some of our investments with variable interest rate debt, we would be at risk of net interest margin deterioration if medium and long-term rates were to increase. As of June 30, 2014, only $1.4 million of our debt, excluding our unsecured revolving line of credit, was at a variable interest rate.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2014, we had $8.1 million of cash on hand, $198.0 million available under our unsecured revolving line of credit and $30.0 million available under the uncommitted private shelf agreement for potential future senior unsecured notes. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we borrowed $5.0 million under our unsecured revolving line of credit. Accordingly we have $47.0 million outstanding and $193.0 million available for borrowing. Additionally, subsequent to June 30, 2014, we locked rate on the sale of $30.0 million senior unsecured term notes to affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. under our private shelf agreement which is now exhausted. We also have the potential ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities under our $800.0 million effective shelf registration.

We believe that our current cash balance, cash flow from operations available for distribution or reinvestment, our borrowing capacity and our potential ability to access the capital markets are sufficient to provide for payment of our current operating costs, meet debt obligations, provide funds for distribution to the holders of our preferred stock and pay common dividends at least sufficient to maintain our REIT status and repay borrowings at, or prior to, their maturity. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates. We continuously evaluate the availability of cost-effective capital and believe we have sufficient liquidity for additional capital investments in 2014.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a party from time to time to various general and professional liability claims and lawsuits asserted against the lessees or borrowers of our properties, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate material to our results of operations or financial condition. These types of claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
