MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
Medical Properties Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed on August 27, 2003 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in, owning, and leasing commercial real estate. Our operating partnership subsidiary, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), through which we conduct all of our operations, was formed in September 2003. Through another wholly-owned subsidiary, Medical Properties Trust, LLC, we are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. At present, we directly own substantially all of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership.
We have operated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) since April 6, 2004, and accordingly, elected REIT status upon the filing in September 2005 of the calendar year 2004 federal income tax return. Accordingly, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that we continue to qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our stockholders equal or exceed our taxable income. Certain activities we undertake must be conducted by entities which we elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Our TRSs are subject to both federal and state income taxes.
Our primary business strategy is to acquire and develop real estate and improvements, primarily for long-term lease to providers of healthcare services such as operators of general acute care hospitals, inpatient physical rehabilitation hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, surgery centers, centers for treatment of specific conditions such as cardiac, pulmonary, cancer, and neurological hospitals, and other healthcare-oriented facilities. We manage our business as a single business segment.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, including rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2010 consolidated financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on stockholders’ equity or net income.
Recent accounting pronouncements: In June 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” (“ASU 2010-20”), which outlines specific disclosures that will be required for the allowance for credit losses and all finance receivables. Finance receivables includes loans, lease receivables and other arrangements with a contractual right to receive money on demand or on fixed or determinable dates that is recognized as an asset on an entity’s statement of financial position. ASU 2010-20 will require companies to provide disaggregated levels of disclosure by portfolio segment and class to enable users of the financial statement to understand the nature of credit risk, how the risk is analyzed in determining the related allowance for credit losses and changes to the allowance during the reporting period. Required disclosures under ASU 2010-20 as of the end of a reporting period are effective for the Company’s December 31, 2010 reporting period and disclosures regarding activities during a reporting period are effective for the Company’s March 31, 2011 interim reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the required disclosures.
We evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2010 up through the date we issued these financial statements.
For information about significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2009.
3. Real Estate and Lending Activities
Acquisitions
On June 17, 2010, we acquired three inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in Texas for an aggregate purchase price of $74 million. The properties acquired had existing leases in place, which we assumed, that have initial terms expiring in 2033, provide for initial cash returns of 9.7% and periodic escalation of up to 1.67% on an annualized basis. Each lease may, subject to conditions, be renewed by the operator for two additional ten-year terms.

Table of Contents

As part of this acquisition, we purchased the following assets: ($ amounts in thousands)
         
Land
  $ 6,264  
Building
    61,893  
Intangible lease assets — subject to amortization (weighted average useful life of 23.1 years)
    5,694  
 
     
Total
  $ 73,851  
 
     
These three acquired hospitals contributed $1.9 million and $2.2 million of revenue, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, we incurred $0.7 million of acquisition related costs.
Disposals
In October 2010, we sold the real estate of our Sharpstown facility in Houston, Texas to a third party for net proceeds of $2.7 million resulting in a gain of $0.7 million. At September 30, 2010, this facility was classified as held for sale and the related operating results have been included in discontinued operations for the current period and all prior periods.
In April 2010, we sold the real estate of our Centinela Hospital, a 369-bed acute care medical center located in Inglewood, California, to Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. (“Prime”), for $75 million resulting in a gain of approximately $6 million. Due to this sale, operating results of our Inglewood facility have been included in discontinued operations for the current period and all prior periods.
Leasing Operations
In September 2010, we exchanged properties with one of our tenants. In exchange for our acute care facility in Cleveland, Texas, we received a similar acute care facility in Hillsboro, Texas. The lease that was in place on our Cleveland facility was carried over to the new facility with no change in lease term or lease rate. This exchange was accounted for at fair value, resulting in a gain of $1.3 million (net of $0.2 million from the write-off of straight-line rent receivables).
In the 2010 second quarter, Prime paid us $12 million in additional rent related to our Shasta property, and we terminated our agreements with Prime concerning the additional rent, which could have paid us up to $20 million over the 10 year lease life. Of this $12 million in additional rent, $2.3 million has been recognized in income from lease inception through September 30, 2010, and we expect to recognize the other $9.7 million into income over the remainder of the lease life.
In April 2009, we terminated leases on two of our facilities in Louisiana (Covington and Denham Springs) after the operator defaulted on the leases. As a result of the lease terminations, we recorded a $1.1 million charge in order to fully reserve and write off, respectively, the related straight-line rent receivables associated with the Covington and Denham Springs facilities. In addition, we accelerated the amortization of the related lease intangibles resulting in $0.5 million of expense in the 2009 second quarter. In June 2009, we re-leased the Denham Springs facility to a new operator under terms similar to the terminated lease.
In March 2010, we re-leased our Covington facility. The lease has a fixed term of 15 years with an option, at the lessee’s discretion, to extend the term for three additional periods of five years each. Rent during 2010 is based on an annual rate of $1.4 million and, commencing on January 1, 2011, increases annually by 2%. At the end of each term, the tenant has the right to purchase the facility at a price generally equivalent to the greater of our undepreciated cost and fair market value. Separately, we also obtained an interest in the operations of the tenant whereby we may receive additional consideration based on the profitability of such operations.
At September 30, 2010, we had $3.8 million of receivables related to the former operator of our Bucks County facility that were guaranteed by its parent company. We continue to pursue collection of these receivables including ongoing legal action against the operator and others. There is no assurance that we will receive all or any of the guaranteed amounts.
Since January 2007, we have advanced approximately $28 million to the operator/lessee of Monroe Hospital in Bloomington, Indiana pursuant to a working capital loan agreement, including additional advances of $1.0 million in 2010. In addition, we have accrued $14.2 million for rent, interest and other charges including $1.0 million of rent in the 2010 third quarter. Because the operator has not made all payments required by the working capital loan agreement and the related real estate lease agreement, we consider the loan to be impaired.
During the first quarter of 2010, we evaluated alternative strategies for the recovery of our advances and accruals and at that time determined that the future cash flows of the current tenant or related collateral would, more likely than not, result in less than a full recovery of our loan advances. Accordingly, we recorded a $12 million charge in the 2010 first quarter to recognize the estimated impairment of the working capital loan. During the third quarter of 2010, we determined that it is reasonably likely that the existing tenant will be unable to make certain lease payments that become due in future years. Accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance for unbilled straight-line rent in the amount of

Table of Contents

$2.5 million. In making this determination, we considered our first priority secured interest in approximately (i) $4 million in hospital patient receivables, (ii) cash balances of approximately $4 million, and (iii) 100% of the membership interests of the operator/lessee and our assessment of the realizable value of our other collateral.
We continue to evaluate possible operating strategies for the hospital. We have entered into a forbearance agreement with the operator whereby we have generally agreed, under certain conditions, not to fully exercise our rights and remedies under the lease and loan agreements during limited periods. We have not committed to the adoption of a plan to transition ownership or management of the hospital to any new operator, and there is no assurance that any such plan will be completed. Moreover, there is no assurance that any plan that we ultimately pursue will not result in additional charges for further impairment of our working capital loan. We currently are recognizing income on the Monroe loan on a cash basis.
For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, revenue from affiliates of Prime (including rent and interest from mortgage and working capital (2009 only) loans) accounted for 35.1% and 36.6%, respectively, of total revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, revenue from Vibra (including rent and interest from working capital loans) accounted for 15.1% and 14.2%, respectively, of total revenue.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, revenue from affiliates of Prime (including rent and interest from mortgage and working capital loans) accounted for 34.8% and 35.4%, respectively, of total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, revenue from Vibra (including rent and interest from working capital loans) accounted for 14.4% and 14.8%, respectively, of total revenue.
Loans
In April 2010, Prime repaid $40 million in other loans plus accrued interest.

In April 2010, we completed a public offering of common stock (the “Offering”) resulting in net proceeds, after underwriting discount and commissions, of $279.1 million. See Note 5 for further information. We used the net proceeds from the Offering to fund a cash tender offer (“Tender Offer”) and subsequent purchases for 93% of the outstanding 6.125% exchangeable senior notes due 2011 at a price of 103% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (or $136.3 million). In addition, we repaid a $30 million term loan that was set to mature in November 2010.
In addition, in May 2010, we closed on a new $450 million secured credit facility with a syndicate of banks, and the proceeds of such new credit facility and Offering were used to repay in full all outstanding obligations under the old $220 million credit facility.
These refinancing activities resulted in a charge of approximately $6.2 million in the 2010 second quarter ($6.6 million year-to-date through September 30, 2010) related to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs and the premium we paid associated with our Tender Offer.
The new credit facility includes a $150 million term loan facility (“2010 Term Loan”) and a $300 million revolving loan facility (“2010 Revolving Facility”), which was increased to $330 million in September 2010. We may further increase the 2010 Revolving Facility up to $375 million via an accordion feature through November 2011.
The 2010 Term Loan has a 6-year term that matures May 17, 2016 and has an interest rate option of (1) LIBOR plus a spread of 3.5% or (2) the higher of the “prime rate” or federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a spread of 2.50%. This 2010 Term Loan is subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.5%. The 2010 Revolving Facility has a 3-year term that matures on May 17, 2013 and has an interest rate option of (1) the higher of the “prime rate” or federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus a spread initially set at 2.00% but that is adjustable from 2.00% to 2.75% based on current total leverage, or (2) LIBOR plus a spread initially set at 3.00% but that is adjustable from 3.00% to 3.75% based on current total leverage. In addition, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the 2010 Revolving Facility, ranging from 0.375% to 0.500% per year.
During the second quarter 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix $65 million of our $125 million senior notes, starting July 31, 2011 (date on which the interest rate is scheduled to turn variable) through maturity date (or July 2016), at a rate of 5.507%. We also entered into an interest rate swap to fix $60 million of our senior notes starting October 31, 2011 (date on which the related interest rate is scheduled to turn variable) through the maturity date (or October 2016) at a rate of 5.675%. At September 30, 2010, the fair value of the interest rate swaps is $7.0 million, which is reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
We account for our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of our swaps is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss on the balance sheet until the underlying debt matures while the ineffective portion is recorded through earnings. We estimate the fair value of interest rate swaps using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk, both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. We did not have any hedge ineffectiveness in the periods; therefore, there was no income statement effect recorded during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2010.
Our debt facilities impose certain restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to: incur debts; grant liens; provide guarantees in respect of obligations of any other entity; make redemptions and repurchases of our capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase debt; engage in mergers or consolidations; enter into affiliated transactions; dispose of real estate; and change our business. In addition, these agreements limit the amount of dividends we can pay to 90% of normalized adjusted funds from operations, as defined in the agreements, on a rolling four

quarter basis starting for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012 and thereafter. Prior to March 31, 2012, a similar dividend restriction exists but at a higher percentage for transitional purposes. These agreements also contain provisions for the mandatory prepayment of outstanding borrowings under these facilities from the proceeds received from the sale of properties that serve as collateral, except a portion may be reinvested subject to certain limitations, as defined in the credit facility agreement.
In addition to these restrictions, the new credit facility contains customary financial and operating covenants, including covenants relating to our total leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, mortgage secured leverage ratio, recourse mortgage secured leverage ratio, consolidated adjusted net worth, facility leverage ratio, and borrowing base interest coverage ratio. This facility also contains customary events of default, including among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, material inaccuracy of representations and failure to comply with our covenants. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the facility, the entire outstanding balance may become immediately due and payable. At September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all such financial and operating covenants.
5. Common Stock
In April 2010, we completed a public offering of 26 million shares of common stock at $9.75 per share. Including the underwriters’ purchase of 3.9 million additional shares to cover over allotments, net proceeds from the Offering, after underwriting discount and commissions, were $279.1 million. We used the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the Tender Offer as discussed in Note 4 with any remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes including funding the acquisition in June 2010.
During the first quarter of 2010, we sold 0.9 million shares of our common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program, at an average price of $10.77 per share, for total proceeds, net of a 2% sales commission, of $9.5 million.
6. Stock Awards
Our Second Amended and Restated Medical Properties Trust, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) authorizes the issuance of common stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and awards of interests in our Operating Partnership. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. We have reserved 7,441,180 shares of common stock for awards under the Equity Incentive Plan for which 3,236,379 shares remain available for future stock awards as of September 30, 2010. We awarded 277,680 and 441,134 shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of time-based restricted stock to management, independent directors, and employees. These awards vest quarterly based on service, over three years, in equal amounts. In addition, our management team was awarded 182,600 performance-based awards in the first quarter of 2010. These awards vest ratably over a three year period based on the achievement of certain performance measures, with a carryback and carryforward provision through December 31, 2014. Dividends on these awards are paid only upon achievement of the performance measures.
7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We have various assets and liabilities that are considered financial instruments. We estimate that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values. We estimate the fair value of our loans, interest, and other receivables by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar receivables would be made to others with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. We determine the fair value of our exchangeable notes based on quotes from securities dealers and market makers. We estimate the fair value of our senior notes, revolving credit facilities, and term loans based on the present value of future payments, discounted at a rate which we consider appropriate for such debt.

8. Discontinued Operations
In October 2010, we sold the real estate of our Sharpstown hospital in Houston, Texas to a third party for proceeds of $3.0 million resulting in a gain of $0.7 million. At September 30, 2010, we classified this asset as held for sale and reclassified the related operating results to discontinued operations for the current and prior periods.
In April 2010, we sold the real estate of our Centinela Hospital, a 369-bed acute care medical center located in Inglewood, California, to Prime for $75 million resulting in a gain of approximately $6 million.
In the fourth quarter of 2009, we sold the real estate of a general acute hospital in Encino, California to Prime for proceeds of approximately $15 million, resulting in a gain on the sale of $0.3 million.
In 2006, we terminated leases for a hospital and medical office building (“MOB”) complex in Houston, Texas and repossessed the real estate. In January 2007, we sold the hospital and MOB complex. We had been defendants in litigation related to this facility since we sold the facility, which resulted in a significant amount of legal expenses in 2009. However, this litigation is now over, and we expect no further income statement impact.
The following table presents the results of discontinued operations, which includes the revenue and expenses of the four previously-owned facilities noted above, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 ($ amounts in thousands except per share amounts):

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, 0.1 million of options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were determined not to be dilutive. Shares that may be issued in the future in accordance with our convertible bonds were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were determined not to be dilutive.
10. Contingencies
We are a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not presently expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. Income Taxes
With the early prepayment of working capital loans by Prime and the impairment of the Monroe loan as more fully described in Note 3, we did not believe that our taxable REIT subsidiary would generate enough taxable income to use the federal and state net operating losses within the carryforward period specified by law. Therefore, in the 2010 second quarter, we fully reserved for the $1.5 million deferred tax asset, of which $1.2 million relates to discontinued operations. We will continue to monitor this valuation allowance and, if circumstances change (such as entering into new working capital loans or other transactions), we will adjust this valuation allowance accordingly.
13. Executive Severance
On June 11, 2010, we announced the resignation of our general counsel effective June 15, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of his separation agreement, we accelerated the vesting of certain previously awarded shares of restricted stock resulting in additional stock compensation expense of $0.9 million. In addition, we agreed to pay him a one-time cash payment of $1.9 million on December 16, 2010. This total severance of $2.8 million is included in general and administrative expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.
14. Subsequent Events
In November 2010, we finalized agreements to acquire, provide development funding and lease an estimated $30 million, 36 bed hospital in Florence, Arizona. This facility will be an emergency room focused acute care hospital leased to an unrelated entity. Construction has already commenced and should be completed within the next twelve to fifteen months. We do not expect to recognize any revenue from this facility until construction is complete and facility is operational.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. and notes thereto contained in this Form 10-Q and the financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Forward-Looking Statements.
This report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results or future performance, achievements or transactions or events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such factors include, among others, the following:
  national and local economic, business, real estate and other market conditions;
 
  the competitive environment in which we operate;
 
  the execution of our business plan;
 
  financing risks;
 
  acquisition and development risks;
 
  potential environmental, contingencies, and other liabilities;
 
  other factors affecting the real estate industry generally or the healthcare real estate industry in particular;
 
  our ability to maintain our status as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes;
 
  our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
 
  federal and state healthcare regulatory requirements; and
 
  the impact of a downturn in the credit markets and a global economic slowdown, which has had and may continue to have a negative effect on the following, among other things:
    the financial condition of our tenants, our lenders, counterparties to our capped call transactions and institutions that hold our cash balances, which may expose us to increased risks of default by these parties;
 
    our ability to obtain debt financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense; and
 
    the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis.
Key Factors that May Affect Our Operations
Our revenues are derived from rents we earn pursuant to the lease agreements with our tenants, interest income from loans to our tenants and other facility owners, and our profits interests in certain of our tenants. Our tenants operate in the healthcare industry, generally providing medical, surgical and rehabilitative care to patients. The capacity of our tenants to pay our rents and interest is dependent upon their ability to conduct their operations at profitable levels. We believe that the business environment of the industry segments in which our tenants operate is generally positive for efficient operators. However, our tenants’ operations are subject to economic, regulatory and market conditions that may affect their profitability. Accordingly, we monitor certain key factors, changes to which we believe may provide early indications of conditions that may affect the level of risk in our lease and loan portfolio.
Key factors that we consider in underwriting prospective tenants and borrowers and in monitoring the performance of existing tenants and borrowers include the following:
  the historical and prospective operating margins (measured by a tenant’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and facility rent) of each tenant or borrower and at each facility;

14


Table of Contents

  the ratio of our tenants’ and borrowers’ operating earnings both to facility rent and to facility rent plus other fixed costs, including debt costs;
 
  trends in the source of our tenants’ or borrowers’ revenue, including the relative mix of Medicare, Medicaid/MediCal, managed care, commercial insurance, and private pay patients; and
 
  the effect of evolving healthcare regulations on our tenants’ and borrowers’ profitability.
Certain business factors, in addition to those described above that directly affect our tenants and borrowers, will likely materially influence our future results of operations. These factors include:
  trends in the cost and availability of capital, including market interest rates, that our prospective tenants may use for their real estate assets instead of financing their real estate assets through lease structures;
 
  changes in healthcare regulations that may limit the opportunities for physicians to participate in the ownership of healthcare providers and healthcare real estate;
 
  reductions in reimbursements from Medicare, state healthcare programs, and commercial insurance providers that may reduce our tenants’ profitability and our lease rates;
 
  competition from other financing sources; and
 
  the ability of our tenants and borrowers to access funds in the credit markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, investment in real estate, purchase price allocation, loans, losses from rent receivables, accounting policies for derivatives and hedging activities, variable interest entities, and stock-based compensation, refer to our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, there were no material changes to these policies, except we have adopted the new accounting guidance on consolidation. The primary changes to the consolidation guidance are that it (1) requires a more qualitative versus quantitative approach in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and (2) requires continuous reassessment as to whether we should consolidate a variable interest entity whereas the old guidance required reassessment only after the occurrence of certain reconsideration events.
Overview
We were incorporated under Maryland law on August 27, 2003 primarily for the purpose of investing in and owning net-leased healthcare facilities across the United States. We have operated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) since April 6, 2004, and accordingly, elected REIT status upon the filing in September 2005 of our calendar year 2004 federal income tax return. We acquire and develop healthcare facilities and lease the facilities to healthcare operating companies under long-term net leases. We also make mortgage loans to healthcare operators collateralized by their real estate assets. In addition, we selectively make loans to certain of our operators through our taxable REIT subsidiaries, the proceeds of which are used for acquisitions and working capital. Finally, from time to time, we acquire a profits interest in our tenants that gives us a limited right to share in the tenant’s positive cash flow.
At September 30, 2010, our portfolio consisted of 53 properties: 48 facilities (of the 50 facilities that we own) are leased to 15 tenants and the remaining assets are in the form of first mortgage loans to two operators. Our owned facilities consisted of 20 general acute care hospitals, 13 long-term acute care hospitals, 9 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, 2 medical office buildings, and 6 wellness centers. The non-owned facilities on which we have made mortgage loans consist of general acute care facilities.
All of our investments are located in the United States, and we have no present plans to invest in non-U.S. markets in the foreseeable future.

Base rents for the 2010 third quarter increased 17.4% versus the prior year as a result of the rental income from our Bucks facility (as no rent was billed in 2009 pursuant to the lease terms), additional rent generated from annual escalation provisions in our leases, and incremental revenue from the properties acquired in June 2010. Straight-line rents decreased from the prior year as 2009 included $1.1 million in additional rent from our Redding facility, while in 2010, this additional rent was part of base rents. In addition, we wrote off $0.2 million in straight-line rent receivable in 2010 related to the Cleveland transaction and $2.5 million related to our Monroe facility.
Interest from loans is lower than the prior year due to the repayment of $40 million in loans from Prime in the second quarter 2010.
Real estate depreciation and amortization during the third quarter of 2010 increased to $6.3 million, due to the depreciation from the properties acquired in June 2010.
Property-related expenses in the third quarter of 2010 decreased from $1.2 million to $0.6 million. Of the property-related expenses in the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, represented utility costs, repair and maintenance expense, legal, insurance and property taxes associated with vacant properties or legal costs related to prior tenant bankruptcy matters.
General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2010 increased compared to the same period in 2009 by $1.4 million, or 27.8%, from $4.9 million to $6.2 million. The increase is a result of $0.4 million in higher legal and other costs related to acquisition due diligence. In addition, we incurred slightly higher travel costs and compensation during 2010.
Other income is higher than prior year due to the $1.5 million gain on the property exchange more fully described in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 to this Form 10-Q.
Interest expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $8.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively. This decrease primarily related to lower debt balances in 2010 as a result of the debt refinancing during the second quarter of 2010. Associated with the debt refinancing, we recorded a charge of $0.3 million in the 2010 third quarter related to the premium we paid to repurchase additional outstanding exchangeable notes.
In addition to the items noted above, net income for the quarters was impacted by discontinued operations. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 to this Form 10-Q for further information.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to September 30, 2009
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $12.3 million compared to net income of $28.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Base rents for the first nine months of 2010 increased 11.4% versus the prior year as a result of the rental income from the previously vacant Bucks facility (no billed rent in 2009), additional rent generated from annual escalation provisions in our leases, and incremental revenue from the properties acquired in June 2010.
Straight line rent for the 2010 first nine months decreased 89.9% versus the prior year due to approximately $1.7 million of straight-line rent that was reclassed to billed rent in the second quarter of 2010 upon the payment of $12 million by Prime pursuant to the additional rent provisions of the lease related to our Shasta property. In addition, we wrote off $0.2 million and $2.5 million in straight-line rent receivable associated with the Cleveland transaction and Monroe facility, respectively, in September 2010.
Interest from loans is lower than the prior year due to the repayment of $40 million in loans from Prime in the second quarter 2010.
Real estate depreciation and amortization during the first nine months of 2010 was $18.5 million, compared to $17.3 million during the same period of 2009, a 6.5% increase. This increase is related to an adjustment made to the useful lives of one of our properties in the 2010 first quarter and the incremental depreciation expense for the properties acquired in June 2010.
Property-related expenses during the first nine months decreased from $2.9 million in 2009 to $2.1 million in 2010. Of the property-related expenses in the 2010 and 2009 periods, $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, represented utility costs, repair and maintenance expense, legal, and property taxes associated with vacant or previously vacant properties.
In the 2010 first quarter, we recognized a $12 million loan impairment charge related to our Monroe facility. No such charge was recorded in 2009.
General and administrative expenses in the first three quarters of 2010 and 2009 totaled $21.8 million and $16.3 million, respectively, an increase of 33.7%. In the second quarter of 2010, compensation expense was higher due to executive severance of $2.8 million. In addition, we incurred $1.3 million in legal and other costs related to acquisition due diligence and closing costs.
Other income is higher than prior year due to the $1.5 million gain on the property exchange more fully described in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 to this Form 10-Q.
Interest expense for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009 totaled $26.1 million and $28.3 million, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to lower debt balances in 2010 as a result of the debt refinancing during the second quarter. In regards to the debt refinancing, we recorded a charge of $6.6 million related to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs and the premiums we paid associated with our repurchase of additional oustanding exchangeable notes.
In addition to the items noted above, net income for the nine month periods was impacted by discontinued operations. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 to this Form 10-Q for further information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, operating cash flows, which primarily consist of rent and interest from mortgage and working capital loans, were $47.5 million, which, along with cash on-hand, proceeds from the sale of stock and our Centinela property and the early loan prepayments by Prime, were principally used to fund our dividends of $54.8 million, real estate acquisitions of $74 million and our debt refinancing activities.
During the first quarter of 2010, we sold 0.9 million shares of our common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program, at an average price of $10.77 per share, for total proceeds, net of a 2% sales commission, of $9.5 million.

In April 2010, we completed a public offering (the “Offering”) of 26 million shares of common stock at $9.75 per share. Including the underwriters’ purchase of 3.9 million additional shares to cover over-allotments, net proceeds from this offering, after underwriters’ discounts and commissions, were $279.1 million. We have used the net proceeds from the Offering to pay off our $30 million term loan that was due this year and to fund our Tender Offer and subsequent purchases of 93% of the outstanding 6.125% exchangeable senior notes due 2011 at a price of 103% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (or $136.3 million).
In May 2010, we entered into a new $450 million secured credit facility with a syndicate of banks, and the proceeds of which along with the Offering proceeds were used to repay in full all outstanding obligations under the old $220 million credit facility. The new facility includes a $300 million three-year term revolving facility (which was increased to $330 million in September 2010) and $150 million six-year term loan. We may further increase the revolving facility up to $375 million through an accordion feature through November 2011.
During the second quarter 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix $65 million of our $125 million senior notes, starting July 31, 2011(date on which the interest rate is scheduled to turn variable) through maturity date, at a rate of 5.507%. We also entered into an interest rate swap to fix $60 million of our senior notes starting October 31, 2011 (date on which the related interest rate is scheduled to turn variable) through the maturity date at a rate of 5.675%. We are currently paying a weighted average rate of 7.70% on these notes, so we expect to save $2.5 million annually on interest expense once the swaps become effective in July and October 2011.
In April 2010, we sold the real estate of our Centinela Hospital to Prime for $75 million. Separately, Prime also repaid $40 million in outstanding loans plus accrued interest in April 2010. In addition, Prime paid us $12 million in additional rent related to our Shasta property.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, operating cash flows were $50.4 million, which, along with cash on hand, were used to fund our dividends of $45.6 million and investing activities of $7.9 million. In January 2009, we completed a public offering of 12.0 million shares of our common stock at $5.40 per share. Including the underwriters’ purchase of 1.3 million additional shares to cover over-allotments, net proceeds from this offering, after underwriting discount and commissions and fees, were $67.9 million. The net proceeds of this offering were generally used to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities.
Short-term Liquidity Requirements: At November 1, 2010, our availability under our revolving credit facilities plus cash on-hand approximated $460 million. We have only nominal principal payments due and no significant maturities in 2010. In addition, currently we have approximately $60 million in firm commitments for acquisitions or other capital expenditures. We believe that the liquidity available to us, along with our current monthly cash receipts from rent and loan interest, is sufficient to provide the resources necessary for operations, debt and interest obligations, our firm commitments, distributions in compliance with REIT requirements, and to fund our current investment strategies for the next 12 months.
Long-term Liquidity Requirements: With current availability, as discussed above, along with our current monthly cash receipts from rent and loan interest, we believe we have the liquidity available to us to fund our operations, debt and interest obligations, and distributions in compliance with REIT requirements and investment strategies for the foreseeable future.
Distribution Policy
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year that began on April 6, 2004 and ended on December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to our stockholders. It is our current intention to comply with these requirements and maintain such status going forward.

We intend to pay to our stockholders, within the time periods prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), all or substantially all of our annual taxable income, including taxable gains from the sale of real estate and recognized gains on the sale of securities. It is our policy to make sufficient distributions of cash or common shares to stockholders in order for us to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code and to avoid corporate income and excise taxes on undistributed income. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 to this Form 10-Q for any restrictions placed on dividends by our new credit facility.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In addition, the value of our facilities will be subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the ability of our tenants to generate profits, all of which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary. The changes in the value of our facilities would be affected also by changes in “cap” rates, which are measured by the current base rent divided by the current market value of a facility.
Our primary exposure to market risks relates to fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. To manage these risks, we may use various instruments such as the interest rate swaps we entered into in June 2010 or the capped call transaction we entered into in 2009.
Refer to our second quarter 2010 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 6, 2010 for a discussion of our quantitative and qualitative disclosures and analyses about market risk, which include interest rate and share price sensitivity. During the three month period ended September 30, 2010, there were no material changes to these analyses.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
