NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.General

LTC Properties, Inc., a health care real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was incorporated on May 12, 1992 in the State of Maryland and commenced operations on August 25, 1992. We invest primarily in seniors housing and health care properties primarily through sale-leaseback transactions, mortgage financing and structured finance solutions including mezzanine lending. 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 seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing centers (“SNF”), assisted living communities (“ALF”), independent living communities (“ILF”), memory care communities (“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 classification 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 (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 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.

Restricted Cash. During the third quarter of 2017, a 170-bed skilled nursing center in our portfolio was evacuated due to damages caused by Hurricane Harvey. This property is located in Texas and operated under a triple net master lease agreement. We periodically evaluate properties for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired or the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable through future undiscounted cash flows. Based upon a quarterly assessment of this property using the recoverability test, we concluded the property has not been impaired.

As of March 31, 2019, the gross value and the carrying value of the property were $1,796,000 and $896,000 respectively.

The provisions of our triple net lease agreements impose certain obligations on our operators including:

Acquire property insurance, subject to certain criteria;

Continue paying rent in the event of any property damage or destruction; and

Return the leased property back to us at the end of the lease term, in the same condition originally received.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

During the second quarter of 2018, our operator provided us with insurance proceeds of $2,619,000 to be used for remediation of the property as noted in the provisions of our master lease agreement. Accordingly, we have classified the insurance proceeds as restricted cash on our consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Standards Adopted by Our Company

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-15 (“ASU 2016-15”), Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (A Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance that reduces the diversity in practice of the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments within the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition ASC Topic 606. On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standard codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective adoption method. ASC 606 outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. We evaluated the impact of this standard by assessing our revenue streams to identify any differences in the timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition. We concluded that adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our results of operations or financial condition, as our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements and interest income from loan arrangements, both of which are specifically excluded from ASC 606.

Leases ASC Topic 842. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases. ASU 2016-02 and its amendments have now formally entered into the FASB codification as ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). The objective of ASC 842 is to establish the principles for lessees and lessors to apply for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease.

ASC 842 requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance of operating leases.

ASC 842 requires the lessors to identify lease and non-lease components of a lease agreement. Revenue related to non-lease components under lease agreements will be subject to the revenue recognition standard, upon adoption of this standard. Also, the new standard narrows definition of initial direct costs. Accordingly, upon adoption of the new standard, certain costs (primarily legal costs related to lease negotiations) should be expensed rather than capitalized.

Further, per ASC 842 lessors are required to assess the probability of collecting substantially all of the lease payments. The standard defines collectibility as lessee’s ability and intent to pay. If collectibility of substantially all of the lease payments through maturity is not probable, the lease income recorded during the period would be limited to lesser of the income that would have been recognized if collection were probable, and the lease payments received. If the assessment of collectibility changes, any difference between the lease income that would have been recognized and the lease payments should be

LTC PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

recognized as an adjustment to lease income. At adoption, lessors are required to perform a lease-by-lease analysis for collectibility of all lease payments through maturity. If at adoption, it is not probable that substantially all of the lease obligations through maturity will be collected, a cumulative adjustment to equity should be made to reflect all of the lease obligations which are not probable to be collected. Under the new standard, collections of rent subsequent to the straight-line rent receivable write-off are considered recoveries of amounts previously written-off and are recognized as a contra-expense rather than rental revenue until the cumulative amount of the recovery recognized equals the amount of straight-line rent receivable written-off.

Additionally, ASC 842 provides lessors with the option to elect a practical expedient allowing them to not separate lease and non-lease components and instead, to account for those components as a single lease component. This practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which: (i) the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and the related lease component and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. This practical expedient causes an entity to assess whether a contract is predominantly lease-based or service-based and recognize the entire contract under the relevant accounting guidance (i.e., predominantly lease-based would be accounted for under ASC 842 and predominantly service-based would be accounted for under the ASC 606). This practical expedient option is available as a single election that must be consistently applied to all existing leases at the date of adoption. Also, ASC 842 provides a practical expedient that allows companies to use an optional transition method. Under the optional transition method, a cumulative adjustment to equity during the period of adoption is recorded and prior periods would not require restatement. Consequently, entities that elect both the practical expedient and the optional transitional method will apply the new lease ASC prospectively to leases commencing or modified after January 1, 2019 and will not be required to apply the disclosures under the new lease standard to comparative periods.

ASC 842 has subsequently been amended by other issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to clarify and improve the standard as well as to provide certain practical expedients. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 (“ASU 2018-20”), Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, which amends ASC 842 to require the lessors to exclude the lessor costs that are directly paid by the lessee to third parties on lessor’s behalf from variable payments. However, the lessor costs that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee are required to be included in variable payments. Furthermore, ASC 842 allows for several practical expedients which permit the following: no reassessment of lease classification or initial direct costs and use of the standard’s effective date as the date of initial application. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 (“ASU 2019-01”), Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements which provides clarification regarding presentation and disclosures. ASC 842 and its amendments are effective January 1, 2019.

Adoption of ASC 842. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach as of the adoption date, whereby the cumulative effect of adoption was recognized on the adoption date and prior periods were not restated.

Upon adoption of the standard, we elected the practical expedients provided for in ASC 842, including:

No reassessment of whether any expired or existing contracts were or contained leases;

No reassessment of the lease classification for any expired or existing leases;

Table of Contents

LTC PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

No reassessment of initial direct costs for any existing leases; and

No separation of lease and non-lease components.

As a lessee, we have an office lease agreement with a 5-year remaining term which was classified as an operating lease under ASC 840. Due to election of the package of practical expedients, upon adoption of ASC 842 this lease agreement will continue to be classified as operating lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $75,000 of rent expense related to this lease agreement. Adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording a right-of use asset and a lease liability of $1,445,000 which represents the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate.

As a lessor, our properties are leased subject to non-cancelable operating leases. 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. Upon adoption of ASC 842, we recorded real estate taxes that are reimbursed by our operators as Rental Income with a corresponding Property tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we have recognized $4,335,000 in Rental Income related to reimbursement of real estate taxes from our operators.

Furthermore, upon adoption of ASC 842, we assessed the probability of collecting substantially all of our lease payments through maturity. As previously reported, we have been monitoring Anthem Memory Care (“Anthem”), Thrive Senior Living, LLC (“Thrive”), Preferred Care, Inc. (“Preferred Care”) and Senior Care Centers, LLC. (“Senior Care”) due to cash flow concerns, performance concerns and/or bankruptcy filing. In conjunction with adoption of ASC 842, we evaluated our straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to the noted operators and determined that we do not have the level of collectibility certainty required by the standard to record the straight-line rent receivable. Accordingly, we wrote-off the straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances associated with these leases. Also, since the new guidance does not provide for general reserve for straight-line rent receivable, we wrote-off our 1% general straight-line rent receivable reserve. These balances totaled $42,808,000 and were written-off to equity effective January 1, 2019 as required by ASC 842.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $9,600,000 of cash rent received from Anthem, Thrive, Preferred Care and Senior Care as a contra-expense titled Recovery of written-off straight-line rent receivable on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as required by ASC 842.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted by Our Company

In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires a new forward looking “expected loss” model to be used for receivables, held-to-maturity debt, loans, and other instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Assisted living communities, independent living communities, memory care communities and combinations thereof are included in the assisted living property classification (or collectively ALF).

Any reference to the number of properties or facilities, number of units, number of beds, number of operators 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.

Represents two development projects, consisting of a 78-unit ALF/MC located in Oregon and a 110-unit ILF/ALF/MC in Wisconsin.

(3)

Includes three parcels of land held-for-use, and one behavioral health care hospital.

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 March 31, 2019, we terminated a lease agreement and transitioned two operating senior housing communities under the lease agreement to a new operator. As a result of the lease termination, we wrote-off $1,926,000 straight-line rent receivable to contra-revenue in accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842.

Future minimum base rents receivable under the remaining non-cancelable terms of operating leases excluding the effects of straight-line rent receivable, amortization of lease incentives and renewal options are as follows (in thousands):

Represents contractual annual cash rent, except for four master leases which are based on agreed upon cash rents. See below for more information.

During 2017, we issued a notice of default to Anthem Memory Care (“Anthem”) resulting from Anthem’s partial payment of minimum rent. Anthem operates 11 memory care communities under a master lease. We currently estimate that Anthem will pay $7,500,000 of annual cash rent during 2019. This amount represents approximately 50% of the contractual amount due under the lease in 2019. In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Anthem and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance.

During 2017, Preferred Care, Inc. (“Preferred Care”) and affiliated entities filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a result of a multi-million-dollar judgment in a lawsuit in Kentucky against Preferred Care and certain affiliated entities. The affiliated entities named in the lawsuit operate properties in Kentucky and New Mexico. Preferred Care leases 24 properties under two master leases from us and none of the 24 properties are located in Kentucky or New Mexico. Those 24 properties are in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas and Texas. The Preferred Care operating entities that sublease those properties did not file for bankruptcy. The court ordered deadline for affirmation or rejection of the lease has passed without action by Preferred Care, but they continue to pay rent to us in a timely manner. In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Preferred Care and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. We are working with Preferred Care on options for the portfolio which may include re-leasing or selling some of the properties.

days from the petition date to assume or reject the lease. However, the Bankruptcy Code also provides that the court may extend this initial 120-day period for an additional 90 days. Accordingly, Senior Care has requested, and the court has approved an additional 90 days, which ends on July 2, 2019, to assume or reject the lease. As security under the lease, we hold a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $2,000,000, maintenance and repair escrows of approximately $2,200,000 and property tax escrows of approximately $1,800,000. Senior Care did not pay us December 2018 rent, but has paid us January to April 2019 rent, real estate property tax and maintenance deposits. We have previously requested a consensual termination of the lease and have requested Senior Care to reject our lease in bankruptcy. In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Senior Care and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. We are evaluating our options to transition or sell the properties under the lease with Senior Care.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we placed Thrive Senior Living, LLC. (“Thrive”) on a cash basis due to short-payment of contractual rent in November 2018 and non-payment of rent in December 2018 totaling $700,000. This rent was subsequently received in 2019. Thrive has not paid January to April 2019 rent. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we issued a notice of default to Thrive. In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Thrive and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. We are working with Thrive and exploring our options to maximize the value of these real estate assets.

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.

See Note 1. General for further discussion.

(2)

The 2019 variable rental income includes $150 related to contingent rental income and $4,335 related to our real estate taxes which were reimbursed by our operators. Per the provisions of ASC 842, any lessor cost, paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee, must be included as a lease payment. As discussed above, we adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach as of the adoption date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, we are not required to report this revenue stream for periods prior to January 1, 2019.

(3)

In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, we evaluated the collectibility of lease payments through maturity and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual obligations from Anthem, Thrive, Preferred Care and Senior Care leases through maturity.

3.Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Total								684	$	28,550		$	27,515

(1)

We have concluded that the JV is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with GAAP. However, because we do not control the entity, nor do we have any role in the day-to-day management, we are not the primary beneficiary of the JV. Therefore, we account for the JV investment using the equity method.

(2)

We evaluated this acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) arrangement and determined that the characteristics are similar to jointly-owned investments or partnerships, and accordingly, this investment is accounted for as unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting instead of loan accounting.

(3)

Since interest payments were deferred and no interest was recorded for the first twelve months of the loan, we used the effective interest method in accordance with GAAP to recognize interest income and recorded the difference between the effective interest income and cash interest income to the loan principal balance.

(1)

In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease standard adopted on January 1, 2019, we wrote-off lease incentives related to leases for which we determined it is not probable we will collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligation through maturity. See Note 1. General for further discussion.

Non-contingent lease incentives represent payments made to our lessees for various reasons including entering into a new lease or lease amendments and extensions. Contingent lease incentives represent potential contingent earn-out payments that may be made to our lessees in the future, as part of our lease agreements. From time to time, we may commit to provide contingent payments to our lessees, upon our properties achieving certain rent coverage ratios. Once the contingent payment becomes probable and estimable, the contingent payment is recorded as a lease incentive. Lease incentives are amortized as a yield adjustment to rental income over the remaining life of the lease.

6.Debt Obligations

Bank Borrowings. During 2018, we amended and restated our unsecured credit agreement to replace the previous unsecured credit agreement, prior to its expiration on October 14, 2018. The amended credit agreement maintains the $600,000,000 aggregate commitment of the lenders under the prior agreement and provides for the opportunity to increase the commitment size of the credit agreement up to a total of $1,000,000,000. The amended credit agreement extends the maturity of the credit agreement to June 27, 2022 and provides for a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. Additionally, the amended credit agreement decreases the interest rate margins and converts from the payment of unused commitment fees to a facility fee. Based on our leverage at March 31, 2019, the facility provides for interest annually at LIBOR plus 115 basis points and a facility fee of 20 basis points. At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes. We have a $337,500,000 shelf agreement with affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”).

7.Equity

Common Stock. We have separate equity distribution agreements (collectively, “Equity Distribution Agreement”) to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $200,000,000 in aggregate offering price of shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2019, no shares had been issued under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Accordingly, at March 31, 2019, we had $200,000,000 available under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we acquired 44,543 shares and 28,256 shares, respectively, of common stock held by employees who tendered owned shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

Non-controlling Interests. We have entered into partnerships to develop and/or own real estate. Given that our limited members do not have the substantive kick-out rights, liquidation rights, or participation rights, we have concluded that the partnerships are VIEs. As we exercise power over and receive benefits from the VIEs, we are considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidate the VIEs and record the non-controlling interests at cost.

We entered into a joint venture (“JV”) to develop, purchase and own senior housing properties. During the second quarter of 2018, the JV purchased land for the development of a 78-unit ALF/MC for a total anticipated project cost of $18,108. The non-controlling partner contributed $1,081 of cash and we committed to fund the remaining $17,027 project cost. During the third quarter of 2018, in a sale-leaseback transaction, the JV purchased an existing operational 89-unit ILF adjacent to the 78-unit ALF/MC we are developing for $14,400. The non-controlling partner contributed $2,857 of equity and we contributed $11,543 in cash. Upon completion of the development project, our combined economic interest in the JV will be approximately 88%. We account for the JV on a consolidated basis.

(2)

We entered into a partnership to own the real estate and develop a 110-unit ILF/ALF/MC community in Wisconsin. The commitment totals approximately $22,471.

Available Shelf Registration. We have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, and currently have the ability to file additional automatic shelf registration statements, to provide us with capacity to publicly offer an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time raise capital under our automatic shelf registration statement 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.

(2)

Represents $35,700 of commitments to expand and renovate the seniors housing and health care properties securing the mortgage loans and $28,500 represents contingent funding upon the borrower achieving certain coverage ratios.

Also, some of our lease agreements provide purchase options allowing the lessee to purchase the properties they currently lease from us. See Note 2. Real Estate Investments for a table summarizing information about our purchase options.

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.

9.Major Operators

We have three operators from each of which we derive approximately 10% or more of our combined rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans. The following table sets forth information regarding our major operators as of March 31, 2019:

11.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 elect the fair value option for any of 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 assuming election of fair value for our financial assets and financial liabilities were as follows (in thousands):


	At March 31, 2019					At December 31, 2018
	Carrying		Fair			Carrying		Fair
	Value		Value			Value		Value
Mortgage loans receivable	$	244,314	$	297,355	(1)	$	242,939	$	295,492	(1)
Bank borrowings		146,900		146,900	(2)		112,000		112,000	(2)
Senior unsecured notes, net of debt issue costs		528,900		520,343	(3)		533,029		508,613	(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 both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was 9.0%.

(2)

Our bank borrowings bear interest at a variable interest rate. The estimated fair value of our bank borrowings approximated their carrying values at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 March 31, 2019, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 4.60% for those maturing before year 2026 and 4.80% for those maturing at or beyond year 2026. At December 31, 2018, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 5.15% for those maturing before year 2026 and 5.40% for those maturing at or beyond year 2026.

12.Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 2019 the following events occurred:

Equity: We declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.19 per share on our common stock for the months of April, May and June 2019, payable on April 30, May 31, and June 28, 2019, respectively to stockholders of record on April 22, May 23, and June 20, 2019, respectively.

Executive Overview

Business and Investment Strategy

We are a self-administered health care real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in seniors housing and health care properties through sale-leaseback transactions, mortgage financing and structured finance solutions including mezzanine lending. 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 seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators.

Table of Contents

The following graph summarizes our gross investments as of March 31, 2019:

Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing centers (“SNF”), assisted living communities (“ALF”), independent living communities (“ILF”), memory care communities (“MC”) and combinations thereof. ALF, ILF, MC, and combinations thereof are included in the ALF communities classification. As of March 31, 2019, seniors housing and long-term health care properties comprised approximately 99.3% of our real estate investment portfolio. We have been operating since August 1992.

Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals, interest earned on outstanding loans receivable an income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. 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 property type 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.

Includes $9,600 recovery of written-off straight-line rent receivable and excludes variable rental income of $4,335 related to our real estate taxes which were reimbursed by our operators and adjustment for collectibility.

(2)

We have investments in 28 states leased or mortgaged to 29 different operators.

(3)

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

(4)

Represents two development projects consisting of a 78-unit ALF/MC located in Oregon and a 110-unit ILF/ALF/MC located in Wisconsin.

(5)

Includes three parcels of land held-for-use and one behavioral health care hospital.

As of March 31, 2019, we had $1.4 billion in carrying value of net real estate investments, consisting of $1.1 billion or 82.1% invested in owned and leased properties and $0.2 billion or 17.9% invested in mortgage loans secured by first mortgages. Our investment in mortgage loans contain interest rates between 9.2% and 9.7%. Approximately 95.4% of those mortgage loans mature in 2043 and beyond.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, rental income and interest income from mortgage loans represented 78.2% and 20.4%, 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no lease renewals. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we transitioned two senior housing communities to a new operator. This transition had no economic impact on our rental income. As a result of this transition, we wrote-off $1.9 million of straight-line rent receivable as a contra-revenue adjustment, in accordance with the newly adopted Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”). For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $1.2 million in straight-line rental income and amortization of lease incentive cost of $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received $28.8 million of cash rental income,

Table of Contents

which includes $4.3 million of operator reimbursements for our real estate taxes and excludes $9.6 million of cash rent received and recognized as a contra-expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income titled Recovery of written-off straight-line rent receivable. See Note 1. General for further discussion. At March 31, 2019, the straight-line rent receivable balance, net of reserves, on the balance sheet was $42.5 million.

Update on Certain Operators

During 2017, we issued a notice of default to Anthem Memory Care (“Anthem”) resulting from Anthem’s partial payment of minimum rent. Anthem operates 11 memory care communities under a master lease. We currently estimate that Anthem will pay $7.5 million of annual cash rent during 2019. This amount represents approximately 50% of the contractual amount due under the lease in 2019. In accordance with the newly adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Anthem and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance.

During 2017, Preferred Care, Inc. (“Preferred Care”) and affiliated entities filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a result of a multi-million-dollar judgment in a lawsuit in Kentucky against Preferred Care and certain affiliated entities. The affiliated entities named in the lawsuit operate properties in Kentucky and New Mexico. Preferred Care leases 24 properties under two master leases from us and none of the 24 properties are located in Kentucky or New Mexico. Those 24 properties are in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas and Texas. The Preferred Care operating entities that sublease those properties did not file for bankruptcy. The court ordered deadline for affirmation or rejection of the lease has passed without action by Preferred Care, but they continue to pay rent to us in a timely manner. In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Preferred Care and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. Furthermore, we placed Preferred Care on a cash basis on January 1, 2019. We are working with Preferred Care on options for the portfolio which may include re-leasing or selling some of the properties.

On December 4, 2018, Senior Care Centers, LLC. and affiliates and subsidiaries (“Senior Care”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a result of lease terminations from certain landlords and on-going operational challenges. Pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Senior Care has an initial period of 120 days from the petition date to assume or reject the lease. However, the Bankruptcy Code also provides that the court may extend this initial 120-day period for an additional 90 days. Accordingly, Senior Care has requested, and the court has approved an additional 90 days, which ends on July 2, 2019, to assume or reject the lease. In December 2018 we placed Senior Care on a cash basis. As security under the lease, we hold a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $2.0 million, maintenance and repair escrows of approximately $2.2 million and property tax escrows of approximately $1.8 million. Senior Care did not pay us December 2018 rent, but has paid us January to April 2019 rent, real estate property tax and maintenance deposits. We have previously requested a consensual termination of the lease and have requested Senior Care to reject our lease in bankruptcy. In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Senior Care and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. We are evaluating our options to transition or sell the properties under the lease with Senior Care.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we placed Thrive Senior Living, LLC. (“Thrive”) on a cash basis due to short-payment of contractual rent in November 2018 and non-payment of rent in December 2018 totaling $0.7 million. This rent was subsequently received in 2019. Thrive has not paid January to April 2019 rent. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we issued a notice of default to Thrive. In accordance with the newly adopted ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Thrive and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. We are working with Thrive and exploring our options to maximize the value of these real estate assets.

Health Care Regulatory Climate

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) annually updates Medicare skilled nursing facility prospective payment system rates and other policies. On July 31, 2018, CMS released a final rule updating skilled nursing facility rates and policies for fiscal year 2019. The final rule adopts a 2.4% payment increase, as mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. CMS projects this update will increase overall payments to skilled nursing facilities by $820 million in fiscal year 2019 as compared to fiscal year 2018 levels. Furthermore, CMS finalized a plan to replace the existing Resource Utilization Groups, Version IV (“RUG–IV”) case mix classification system with a new model beginning in fiscal year 2020. The new case mix classification system, called the “Patient-Driven Payment Model,” will base Medicare payment on resident needs rather than the amount of therapy a resident receives. CMS also confirmed that the SNF Value-Based Purchasing (“VBP”) Program would go into effect beginning October 1, 2018, as required by statute. Under the VBP Program, CMS reduces Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities by 2% and returns approximately 60% of the withheld amount to skilled nursing facilities based on their relative performance on a readmission measure. The remaining portion of the withheld amount will be retained in the Medicare Trust Fund. On April 19, 2019, CMS released a proposed rule to update skilled nursing facility rates and policies for fiscal year 2020, which starts October 1, 2019. CMS estimates that payments to skilled nursing facilities would rise by $887 million, or 2.5%, compared with fiscal year 2019 levels. CMS proposes to implement the Patient-Driven Payment Model in fiscal year 2020, as previously adopted, but CMS proposes to modify the definition of group therapy. CMS also proposes certain policy changes to the VBP and quality reporting program requirements that would affect Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities. CMS is expected to release the final rule by August 1, 2019.

On September 28, 2016, CMS released a final rule revising the requirements that long-term care facilities must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This major rule addresses requirements for improving quality of care and patient safety, nursing facility staffing, care planning, infection control, and residents’ rights and compliance and ethics programs, among other key provisions. While the rule also banned pre-dispute arbitration agreements, that provision was stayed due to litigation challenging the requirement. On June 8, 2017, CMS published a proposed rule that would eliminate the prohibition on pre-dispute binding arbitration agreements and otherwise modify these requirements; this rule has not been finalized. There can be no assurance that these rules or future regulations modifying Medicare skilled nursing facility payment rates or other requirements for Medicare and/or Medicaid participation 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.

Congress periodically considers legislation revising Medicare and Medicaid policies, including legislation that could have the impact of reducing Medicare reimbursement for skilled nursing facilities and other Medicare providers, limiting state Medicaid funding allotments, 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. On February 9, 2018, President Trump signed into law the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which, as noted, establishes a 2.4% increase to fiscal year 2019 Medicare skilled nursing facility rates; the update otherwise would have been based on the change in the skilled nursing facility market basket index, reduced by a productivity adjustment. There can be no assurances that enacted or future legislation 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 federal and state level and adopted by certain states. Increasingly, state Medicaid programs are providing coverage through managed care programs under contracts with private health plans, which is intended to decrease state Medicaid costs. Congress and state legislatures can be expected

Table of Contents

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, real estate investment mix, operator mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is valuable to understand what portion of our real estate 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. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an organization representing U.S. REITs and publicly traded real estate companies, classifies a company with 50% or more of assets directly or indirectly in the equity ownership of real estate as an equity REIT. Investment mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our various property classifications. Operator mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top five operators. Geographic mix measures the portion of our real estate investment that relate to our top five states.

We have three parcels of land located adjacent to properties securing the Prestige Healthcare mortgage loan and are managed by Prestige.

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). The coverage ratios are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) as defined by NAREIT. EBITDAre is calculated as net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (iv) impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, (v) gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, and (vi) adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. 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:

Increased due to increase in outstanding debt and decrease in gross asset value. The decrease in gross asset value was primarily due to adoption of ASC 842 during the three months ended March 31, 2019. ASC 842 requires a lease-by-lease collectibility analysis of receivables and related balances. Based on our assessment, we determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations for certain leases through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balance of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentives related to these leases as a cumulative adjustment to equity, as required by the transition guidance.

In calculating our interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios above, we use EBITDAre, which is a financial measure not derived in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) (non-GAAP financial measure). EBITDAre is not an alternative to net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on EBITDAre as a substitute for any such 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 EBITDAre.

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 seniors 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.

Funds From Operations Available to Common Stockholders

Funds from Operations (“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 GAAP. Real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, but cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with 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 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 NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

As of March 31, 2019, we had a total of $6.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $453.1 million available under our unsecured revolving line of credit, $98.0 million available under our senior unsecured note shelf agreement and the potential ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of $200.0 million of common stock under our Equity Distribution Agreement. Furthermore, we have the ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of debt and/ or equity securities under an automatic shelf registration statement.

Table of Contents

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 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 used in financing and 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 2019.

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 seniors housing and health care properties 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 seniors housing and health care facilities, ability to control rising operating costs, and the potential for significant reforms in the 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 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 seniors housing and 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.

Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, borrowings under our primary unsecured credit facility, public and private issuances of debt and equity securities, proceeds from investment dispositions and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including acquisitions, capital expenditures and construction advances), loan advances and general and administrative expenses. These sources and uses of cash are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as summarized below (in thousands):

commitment size of the credit agreement up to a total of $1.0 billion. The Unsecured Credit Agreement matures on June 27, 2022 and provides for a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. Based on our leverage at March 31, 2019, the facility provides for interest annually at LIBOR plus 115 basis points and a facility fee of 20 basis points. At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes. We have a $337.5 million shelf agreement with affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”) with $98.0 million available for borrowing.

Equity

At March 31, 2019, we had 39,738,695 shares of common stock outstanding, equity on our balance sheet totaled $788.2 million and our equity securities had a market value of $1.8 billion. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we declared and paid $22.9 million of cash dividends.

Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.19 per share on our common stock for the months of April, May and June 2019, payable on April 30, May 31, and June 28, 2019, respectively, to stockholders of record on April 22, May 23, and June 20, 2019, respectively.

At-The-Market Program. On March 1, 2019, we entered into new separate equity distribution agreements (collectively, “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with four sales agents, replacing prior equity distribution agreements dated August 1, 2016. Under the terms of the new Equity Distribution Agreement, we may offer and sell, from time to time, up to $200.0 in aggregate offering price of shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2019, no shares had been issued under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Accordingly, at March 31, 2019, we had $200.0 available under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

Available Shelf Registrations. We have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC and currently have the ability to file additional automatic shelf registration statements to provide us with capacity to publicly offer an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time raise capital under our automatic registration statement in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The

Our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions regarding future events we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. We have described our most critical accounting policies in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2018, with exception of the adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases. Please refer to Note 1. General of these unaudited consolidated financial statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding recently adopted standards.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There were no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2019. For additional information, refer to Item 7A as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are and may become from time to time a party to various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate anticipated to be material to our results of operations or financial condition. Claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability asserted against the lessees or borrowers related to our properties, 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 and lawsuits.

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, 2018.
