FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “future” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Such statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to our ability to successfully complete our continuous, public offering, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders, our reliance on our advisor and our sponsor, the operating performance of our investments, our financing needs, the effects of our current strategies and investment activities and our ability to effectively deploy capital. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of plans or strategies is inherently uncertain, particularly given the economic environment. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements and you should not unduly rely on these statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from those forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:
adverse economic conditions and the impact on the real estate industry, including healthcare real estate;
our ability to successfully complete a continuous, public offering;
our ability to deploy capital quickly and successfully and achieve a diversified portfolio consistent with our target asset classes;
access to debt capital at rates that will allow us to meet our target returns;
our liquidity;
our use of leverage;
our ability to close on the recent commitments to acquire healthcare real estate investments on the terms contemplated or at all;

our sponsor’s ability, from time to time, to purchase assets identified on our behalf;
the impact of market and other conditions influencing the availability of equity versus debt investments and performance of our investments relative to our expectations and the impact on our actual return on invested equity, as well as the cash provided by these investments;
the impact of a loss on our initial investments prior to the time we hold a diversified portfolio of investments, which could be severe;
the impact of economic conditions on the operators/tenants of the real property that we own as well as on borrowers of the debt we originate and acquire and the mortgage loans underlying the healthcare-related commercial mortgage backed securities in which we invest;

NORTHSTAR HEALTHCARE INCOME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
Business and Organization
NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed primarily to acquire, originate and asset manage a diversified portfolio of equity, debt and securities investments in healthcare real estate, with a focus on the mid-acuity senior housing sector, which the Company defines as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and independent living facilities that may have an emphasis on private pay patients. The Company may also acquire and originate equity and debt investments in facilities that may rely on public pay patients and other healthcare property types, including medical office buildings and rehabilitation facilities. In addition, the Company may acquire healthcare-related securities. The Company was formed in October 2010 as a Maryland corporation. The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company conducts its operations so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company is externally managed and has no employees. Prior to June 30, 2014, the Company was managed by an affiliate of NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. (NYSE: NRF) (“NorthStar Realty”). Effective June 30, 2014, NorthStar Realty spun-off its asset management business into a separate publicly traded company, NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc. (the “Sponsor”), with its common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “NSAM.” The Sponsor and its affiliates were organized to provide asset management and other services to the Company, NorthStar Realty, other sponsored public non-traded companies and any other companies the Sponsor may manage in the future (collectively, the “NSAM Managed Companies”), both in the United States and internationally. Concurrent with the spin-off, affiliates of the Sponsor entered into a new advisory agreement with the Company and each of the other NSAM Managed Companies. Pursuant to the Company’s advisory agreement, NSAM J-NSHC Ltd, an affiliate of the Sponsor (the “Advisor”), agreed to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company on terms substantially similar to those set forth in the Company’s prior advisory agreement with NorthStar Healthcare Income Advisor, LLC (the “Prior Advisor”). References to the “Prior Advisor” herein refer to the services performed by and fees paid and accrued to the Prior Advisor during the period prior to June 30, 2014. The spin-off of NorthStar Realty’s asset management business had no impact on the Company’s operations.
Substantially all business is conducted through NorthStar Healthcare Income Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are NorthStar Healthcare Income Advisor, LLC and NorthStar Healthcare Income OP Holdings, LLC (the “Special Unit Holder”), each an affiliate of the Sponsor. An affiliate of the Sponsor invested $1,000 in the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units and the Special Unit Holder invested $1,000 in the Operating Partnership and has been issued a separate class of limited partnership units (the “Special Units”), which are collectively recorded as non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As the Company accepts subscriptions for shares, it contributes substantially all of the net proceeds from its continuous, public offering to the Operating Partnership as a capital contribution. As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership was 99.9%.
The Company’s charter authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. The board of directors of the Company is authorized to amend its charter, without the approval of the stockholders, to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of shares of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue.
On October 12, 2010, as part of its formation, the Company issued 22,223 shares of common stock to NorthStar Realty for $0.2 million. On August 7, 2012, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a maximum of 110,526,315 shares of common stock, excluding the initial shares, in a continuous, public offering, of which up to 100,000,000 shares are being offered pursuant to the primary offering (the “Primary Offering”) and up to 10,526,315 shares are being offered pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”), which are herein collectively referred to as the Offering, was declared effective. The Company retained NorthStar Realty Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), formerly a subsidiary of NorthStar Realty that became a subsidiary of NSAM upon completion of the spin-off, to serve as the dealer manager for the Primary Offering. The Dealer Manager is responsible for marketing the shares being offered pursuant to the Primary Offering. In April 2014, the Company’s board of directors determined to extend the Offering for one year to August 7, 2015. The Offering is expected to terminate on August 7, 2015, unless extended by the Company’s board of directors as permitted by applicable law and regulations.
On February 11, 2013, the Company commenced operations by satisfying the minimum offering requirement in its Primary Offering as a result of NorthStar Realty purchasing an additional 222,223 shares of common stock for $2.0 million. From inception through August 11, 2014, the Company raised total gross proceeds of $434.0 million.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Quarterly Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIE”), if any, where the Company is the primary beneficiary and voting interest entities which are generally majority owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. All significant intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE includes both a qualitative and quantitative analysis. The Company bases its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and relevant financial agreements and the quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flow of the entity. The Company reassesses its initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events.
A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents has both the: (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of its investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other interests to provide financial support; consideration of the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of the Company and the other interests. The Company reassesses its determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE each reporting period. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair value and performance of investments held by these VIEs and general market conditions.
The Company evaluates its investments and financings, including investments in unconsolidated ventures and securitization financing transactions, if any, to determine whether they are a VIE. The Company analyzes new investments and financings, as well as reconsideration events for existing investments and financings, which vary depending on type of investment or financing. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has not identified any VIEs related to its investments or financing.
Voting Interest Entities
A voting interest entity is an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable it to finance its activities independently and the equity holders have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the losses of the entity and the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity is ownership of a majority voting interest. If the Company has a majority voting interest in a voting interest entity, the entity will generally be consolidated. The Company does not consolidate a voting interest entity if there are substantive participating rights by other parties and/or kick-out rights by a single party.

The Company performs on-going reassessments of whether entities previously evaluated under the voting interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain events, and therefore subject to the VIE consolidation framework.
Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
The Company has non-controlling, unconsolidated ownership interests in entities that may be accounted for using the equity method, at fair value or the cost method.
Under the equity method, the investment is adjusted each period for capital contributions and distributions and its share of the entity’s net income (loss). Capital contributions, distributions and net income (loss) of such entities are recorded in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. An allocation of net income (loss) may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entities as a result of preferred returns and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents.
The Company may account for an investment in an unconsolidated entity at fair value by electing the fair value option. The Company may account for investments that do not qualify for equity method accounting or for which the fair value option was not elected using the cost method if the Company determines the investment in the unconsolidated entity is insignificant. Under the cost method, equity in earnings is recorded as dividends are received to the extent they are not considered a return of capital, which is recorded as a reduction of cost of the investment.
Non-controlling Interests
A non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. A non-controlling interest is required to be presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets and presented separately as net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) attributable to controlling and non-controlling interests. An allocation to a non-controlling interest may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of preferred returns and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports consolidated comprehensive income (loss) in separate statements following the consolidated statements of operations. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity resulting from net income (loss) and OCI.
Operating Real Estate
The Company follows the purchase method for an acquisition of operating real estate, where the purchase price is allocated to tangible assets such as land, building, furniture and fixtures, improvements and other identified intangibles. Major replacements and betterments which improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Operating real estate is carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Operating real estate is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs directly related to an acquisition deemed to be a business combination are expensed and included in transaction costs in the consolidated statements of operations.
Real Estate Debt Investments
Debt investments are generally intended to be held to maturity and, accordingly, are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan fees, premium, discount and unfunded commitments. Debt investments that are deemed to be impaired are carried at amortized cost less a loan loss reserve, if deemed appropriate, which approximates fair value. Debt investments where the Company does

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)



not have the intent to hold the loan for the foreseeable future or until its expected payoff are classified as held for sale and recorded at the lower of cost or estimated value.
Real Estate Securities
The Company classifies its securities investments as available for sale on the acquisition date, which are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains (losses) are recorded as a component of accumulated OCI in the consolidated statements of equity. However, the Company may elect the fair value option for certain of its available for sale securities, and as a result, any unrealized gains (losses) on such securities are recorded in unrealized gain (loss) on investments and other in the consolidated statements of operations.
Acquisition Fees and Expenses
The total of all acquisition fees and expenses for an investment, including acquisition fees to the Advisor, cannot exceed, in the aggregate, 6.0% of the contract purchase price of such investment unless such excess is approved by a majority of the directors, including independent directors. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total acquisition fees and expenses did not exceed the allowed limit for any investment. An acquisition fee paid to the Advisor related to the origination or acquisition of debt investments is included in debt investments, net on the consolidated balance sheets and is amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. An acquisition fee incurred related to an equity investment will generally be expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Operating Real Estate
Rental and escalation income, if any, from operating real estate is derived from leasing of space to various types of healthcare operators. The leases are for fixed terms of varying length and generally provide for annual rentals to be paid in monthly installments. Rental income from leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is included in receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. Escalation income, if any, represents revenue from operator leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the respective property, as applicable. This revenue is accrued in the same period as the expenses are incurred.
The Company also generates operating income from healthcare properties permitted by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (“RIDEA”). Revenue related to healthcare properties includes resident room and care charges and other resident charges.
Real Estate Debt Investments
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and any related premium, discount, origination costs and fees are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. The amortization of a premium or accretion of a discount is discontinued if such loan is reclassified to held for sale.
Real Estate Securities
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method with any premium or discount amortized or accreted through earnings based on expected cash flow through the expected maturity date of the security. Changes to expected cash flow may result in a change to the yield which is then applied retrospectively for high-credit quality securities that cannot be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder would not recover substantially all of the investment or prospectively for all other securities to recognize interest income.
Credit Losses and Impairment on Investments
Operating Real Estate
The Company’s real estate portfolio is reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value of its operating real estate may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. A property’s value is considered impaired if the Company’s estimate of the aggregate expected future undiscounted cash flow generated by the property is less than the carrying value. In conducting this review, the Company considers U.S.


13




Table of Contents
NORTHSTAR HEALTHCARE INCOME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)



macroeconomic factors, real estate and healthcare sector conditions and asset specific and other factors. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the estimated fair value and recorded in impairment on operating real estate in the consolidated statements of operations.
An allowance for a doubtful account for an operator/resident receivable is established based on a periodic review of aged receivables resulting from estimated losses due to the inability of operator/resident to make required rent and other payments contractually due. Additionally, the Company establishes, on a current basis, an allowance for future operator/resident credit losses on unbilled rent receivable based on an evaluation of the collectability of such amounts.
Real Estate Debt Investments
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms. The Company assesses the credit quality of the portfolio and adequacy of loan loss reserves on a quarterly basis or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment of the Company is required in this analysis. The Company considers the estimated net recoverable value of the loan as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the quality and financial condition of the borrower and the competitive situation of the area where the underlying collateral is located. Because this determination is based on projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amount ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. If upon completion of the assessment, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the net carrying value of the loan, a loan loss reserve is recorded with a corresponding charge to provision for loan losses. The loan loss reserve for each loan is maintained at a level that is determined to be adequate by management to absorb probable losses.
Income recognition is suspended for a loan at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of the Company, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt, contractual interest is recorded as interest income when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A loan is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any impaired real estate debt investments.
Real Estate Securities
Securities for which the fair value option is elected are not evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) as any change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized losses on such securities are reclassified to realized gain (loss) on investments and other as losses occur.
Securities for which the fair value option is not elected are evaluated for OTTI quarterly. Impairment of a security is considered to be other-than-temporary when: (i) the holder has the intent to sell the impaired security; (ii) it is more likely than not the holder will be required to sell the security; or (iii) the holder does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security. When a security has been deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to (i) or (ii), the security is written down to its fair value and an OTTI is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. In the case of (iii), the security is written down to its fair value and the amount of OTTI is then bifurcated into: (a) the amount related to expected credit losses; and (b) the amount related to fair value adjustments in excess of expected credit losses. The portion of OTTI related to expected credit losses is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining OTTI related to the valuation adjustment is recognized as a component of accumulated OCI in the consolidated statements of equity. The portion of OTTI recognized through earnings is accreted back to the amortized cost basis of the security through interest income, while amounts recognized through OCI are amortized over the life of the security with no impact on earnings. Real estate securities which are not high-credit quality are considered to have an OTTI if the security has an unrealized loss and there has been an adverse change in expected cash flow. The amount of OTTI is then bifurcated as discussed above.
Organization and Offering Costs
The Prior Advisor, or its affiliates, is entitled to receive reimbursement for costs paid on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering. The Company is obligated to reimburse the Prior Advisor for organization and offering costs to the extent the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs do not exceed 15.0% of gross offering proceeds from the Primary Offering. The Prior Advisor does not expect reimbursable organization and offering costs to exceed $15.0 million, or 1.5% of the total proceeds available to be raised from the Primary Offering. The Company


14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

records organization and offering costs each period based upon an allocation determined by the expectation of total organization and offering costs to be reimbursed. Organization costs are recorded as an expense in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and offering costs are recorded as a reduction to equity.
Other
Refer to Note 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 for further disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting update that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity or a business. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The requirements of this accounting update will be effective for the Company for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, however, early adoption is permitted but only for disposals or classifications as held for sale that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issue. The Company early adopted this accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2014 and the update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting update requiring a company to recognize as revenue the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to in connection with the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  When it becomes effective on January 1, 2017, the accounting standard update will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance currently promulgated by U.S. GAAP.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of the update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Assumes that all debt with extension options will qualify for extension at such maturity according to the conditions set forth in the governing documents.
As of June 30, 2014, the weighted average maturity, including extensions, of debt investments was 4.5 years.
Credit Quality Monitoring
Debt investments are typically loans secured by direct senior priority liens on real estate properties or by interests in entities that directly own real estate properties, which serve as the primary source of cash for the payment of principal and interest. The Company evaluates its debt investments at least quarterly and differentiates the relative credit quality principally based on: (i) whether the borrower is currently paying contractual debt service in accordance with its contractual terms; and (ii) whether the Company believes the borrower will be able to perform under its contractual terms in the future, as well as the Company’s expectations as to the ultimate recovery of principal at maturity. The Company categorizes a debt investment for which it expects to receive full payment of contractual principal and interest payments as “performing.” The Company will categorize a weaker credit quality debt investment that is currently performing, but for which it believes future collection of all or some portion of principal and interest is in doubt, into a category called “performing with a loan loss reserve.” The Company will categorize a weaker credit quality debt investment that is not performing, which the Company defines as a loan in maturity default and/or past due at least 90 days on its contractual debt service payments, as a non-performing loan (“NPL”). The Company’s definition of an NPL may differ from that of other companies that track NPLs.
As of June 30, 2014, all debt investments were performing in accordance with the contractual terms of their governing documents and were categorized as performing loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, three debt investments each contributed more than 10% of interest income.

Term Loan Facilities
On November 13, 2013, the Company, through an Operating Partnership, entered into a credit facility agreement with a national financial institution (the “Term Loan Facility”), which initially provided up to $25.0 million and currently provides up to $100.0 million to finance real estate investments and first mortgage loans secured by healthcare real estate. The interest rate and advance rate depend upon asset type and characteristics. The initial maturity of the Term Loan Facility is November 2016, with a one-year extension available at the Company’s option, which may be subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions set forth in the governing documents.
The Term Loan Facility acts as a revolving credit facility that can be paid down as assets are repaid, refinanced or sold and re-drawn upon for new investments. The Company agreed to guaranty all obligations under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. More specifically, the borrowing subsidiary of the Company must maintain $5.0 million in unrestricted cash at all times during the term of the Term Loan Facility.
In February 2014, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, amended the Term Loan Facility to increase the initial capacity to $100.0 million with up to $200.0 million of potential capacity. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.

periods prior to June 30, 2014, the information below regarding fees and reimbursements incurred and accrued but not yet paid relates to the Prior Advisor.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying, originating, acquiring and asset managing investments on behalf of the Company. For such services, to the extent permitted by law and regulations, the Advisor receives fees and reimbursements from the Company. Below is a description and table of the fees and reimbursements incurred to the Advisor.
Fees to Advisor
Asset Management Fee
The Advisor, or its affiliates, receives a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the sum of the amount funded or allocated for investments, including expenses and any financing attributable to such investments, less any principal received on debt and securities investments (or the proportionate share thereof in the case of an investment made through a joint venture).
Acquisition Fee
The Advisor, or its affiliates, also receives an acquisition fee equal to 1.0% of the amount funded or allocated by the Company to acquire or originate investments, including acquisition expenses and any financing attributable to such investments (or the proportionate share thereof in the case of an investment made through a joint venture) except with respect to real estate property and 2.25% of each real estate property acquired by the Company, including acquisition expenses and any financing attributable to an equity investment (or the proportionate share thereof in the case of an equity investment made through a joint venture). An acquisition fee paid to the Advisor related to the origination or acquisition of debt investments is included in debt investments, net on the consolidated balance sheets and is amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. An acquisition fee incurred related to an equity investment will generally be expensed as incurred.
Disposition Fee
For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of investments and based on the services provided, the Advisor, or its affiliates, receives a disposition fee equal to 1.0% of the contract sales price of each debt investment sold and 2.0% of the contract sales price of each property sold. The Company does not pay a disposition fee upon the maturity, prepayment, workout, modification or extension of a debt investment unless there is a corresponding fee paid by the borrower, in which case the disposition fee is the lesser of: (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of the debt investment prior to such transaction; or (ii) the amount of the fee paid by the borrower in connection with such transaction. If the Company takes ownership of a property as a result of a workout or foreclosure of a debt investment, the Company will pay a disposition fee upon the sale of such property. A disposition fee from the sale of an investment is generally expensed and included in asset management and other fees - related party in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. A disposition fee for a debt investment incurred in a transaction other than a sale is included in debt investments, net on the consolidated balance sheets and is amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the effective interest method.
Reimbursements to Advisor
Operating Costs
The Advisor, or its affiliates, is entitled to receive reimbursement for direct and indirect operating costs incurred by the Advisor in connection with administrative services provided to the Company. Indirect operating costs include the Company’s allocable share of costs incurred by the Advisor for personnel and other overhead such as rent, technology and utilities. However, there is no reimbursement for personnel costs related to executive officers and other personnel involved in activities for which the Advisor receives an acquisition fee or a disposition fee. The Company reimburses the Advisor quarterly for operating costs (including the asset management fee) based on a calculation for the four preceding fiscal quarters not to exceed the greater of: (i) 2.0% of its average invested assets; or (ii) 25.0% of its net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, loan losses or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the Company’s independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. The Company calculates the expense reimbursement quarterly based upon the trailing twelve-month period.

Organization and Offering Costs
The Advisor, or its affiliates, is entitled to receive reimbursement for organization and offering costs paid on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering. The Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor, or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs to the extent the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs do not exceed 15.0% of gross proceeds from the Primary Offering. The Advisor does not expect reimbursable organization and offering costs, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees, to exceed $15.0 million, or 1.5% of the total proceeds available to be raised from the Primary Offering. The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor for any organization and offering costs that the Company’s independent directors determine are not fair and commercially reasonable to the Company.
Dealer Manager
Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees
Pursuant to the dealer manager agreement, the Company pays NorthStar Realty Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), selling commissions of up to 7.0% of gross proceeds from the Primary Offering, all of which are reallowed to participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Company pays the Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee of up to 3.0% of gross proceeds from the Primary Offering, a portion of which is reallowed to participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid for sales pursuant to the DRP.

NorthStar Realty Purchase of Common Stock
On April 10, 2014, the board of directors of the Company extended the term of the distribution support agreement (the “Distribution Support Agreement”) until August 7, 2015. Pursuant to the Distribution Support Agreement, NorthStar Realty committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $9.00 per share if cash distributions exceed modified funds from operations (as computed in accordance with the definition established by

the Investment Program Association and adjusted for certain items) to provide additional funds to support distributions to stockholders. In February 2013, NorthStar Realty purchased 222,223 shares of the Company’s common stock for $2.0 million under the Distribution Support Agreement to satisfy the minimum offering requirement, which reduced the total commitment. As of June 30, 2014, including the purchase of shares to satisfy the minimum offering requirement, NorthStar Realty purchased 243,107 shares of the Company’s common stock for $2.2 million under such commitment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, NorthStar Realty purchased 9,716 shares of the Company’s common stock for $0.1 million under such commitment.
Investment in Healthcare Joint Venture
In May 2014, the Company, through a general partnership with NorthStar Realty, entered into the Healthcare Joint Venture to acquire an interest in a $1.1 billion healthcare real estate portfolio and contributed $23.4 million of cash for its interest in the investment. The purchase was approved by the Company’s board of directors, including all of its independent directors.
8.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company adopted a long-term incentive plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which it may use to attract and retain qualified officers, directors, employees and consultants, as well as an independent directors compensation plan, which is a component of the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, as of June 30, 2014 the Company’s independent directors were granted a total of 30,000 shares of restricted common stock issued at $9.00 per share. The Company awarded 5,000 shares of restricted common stock on February 11, 2013 and 2,500 shares of restricted common stock on November 7, 2013 and June 13, 2014, respectively, to each of the Company’s three independent directors. The shares were issued at $9.00 per share and will generally vest over four years. However, the stock will become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of: (i) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability; or (ii) a change in control of the Company.
The Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of $26,137 and $13,481 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, related to the issuance of restricted stock to the independent directors, which was recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
9.
Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 23.7 million shares of common stock generating gross proceeds of $236.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 11.0 million shares of common stock generating gross proceeds of $109.2 million. From inception through June 30, 2014, the Company issued 34.6 million shares of common stock, generating gross proceeds of $345.2 million.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Company adopted a DRP through which common stockholders may elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares in additional shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The initial purchase price per share pursuant to the DRP is $9.50. Once the Company establishes an estimated value per share, shares issued pursuant to the DRP will be priced at 95.0% of the estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. The Company expects to establish an estimated value per share within 18 months after the completion of its Offering stage. The Offering stage will be considered complete when the Company is no longer publicly offering equity securities, whether through the Offering or follow-on public offering. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid on shares issued pursuant to the DRP. The board of directors of the Company may amend, suspend or terminate the DRP for any reason upon ten-days’ notice to participants, except that the Company may not amend the DRP to eliminate a participant’s ability to withdraw from the DRP. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 0.3 million shares totaling $3.2 million of gross offering proceeds pursuant to the DRP.
Distributions
Distributions to stockholders are declared quarterly by the board of directors of the Company and are paid monthly based on a daily amount of $0.00184932 per share, which is equivalent to an annual distribution rate of 6.75%. Distributions are generally paid to stockholders on the first day of the month following the month for which the distribution has accrued.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company adopted a share repurchase program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Company may not repurchase shares unless a stockholder has held shares for one year. However, the Company may repurchase shares held less than one year in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability, if the disability is deemed qualifying by the board of directors of the Company in its sole discretion, and after receiving written notice from the stockholder or the stockholder’s estate. The Company is not obligated to repurchase shares under the Share Repurchase Program. The Company may amend, suspend or terminate the Share Repurchase Program at its discretion at any time, subject to certain notice requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company did not repurchase any shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company repurchased an immaterial amount of shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2014, there were no unfulfilled repurchase requests.
10.
Non-controlling Interests
Operating Partnership
Non-controlling interests include the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by limited partners, other than the Company. Income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests is based on the limited partners’ ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. Income (loss) allocated to the Operating Partnership non-controlling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was an immaterial amount.
Other
Other non-controlling interests in represent third-party equity interests in ventures that are consolidated with the Company’s financial statements. Net income (loss) attributable to the other non-controlling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was an immaterial amount.
11.
Fair Value
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of financial instruments is categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique and categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1.
Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.


22




Table of Contents
NORTHSTAR HEALTHCARE INCOME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)



Level 2.
Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
a)
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
b)
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets.
c)
Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
d)
Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3.
Prices or valuation techniques based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Real Estate Debt Investments 
For debt investments, fair value was approximated by comparing the current yield to the estimated yield for newly originated loans with similar credit risk or the market yield at which a third party might expect to purchase such investment. Fair value was determined assuming fully-extended maturities regardless of structural or economic tests required to achieve such extended maturities. These fair value measurements of debt are generally based on unobservable inputs and, as such, are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage Notes Payable
For mortgage notes payable, the Company primarily uses rates currently available with similar terms and remaining maturities to estimate fair value. These measurements are determined using comparable U.S. Treasury rates as of the end of the reporting period. These fair value measurements are based on observable inputs, and as such, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of fair value about all financial instruments. The following disclosure of estimated fair value of financial instruments was determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value.
The following table presents the principal amount, carrying value and fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

The fair value of other financial instruments not included in this table is estimated to approximate their carrying value.
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of the reporting date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect fair value, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Segment Reporting
The Company conducts its business through the following segments, which are based on how management reviews and manages its business:
Real Estate Equity - Focused on equity investments backed by properties in the mid-acuity senior housing sector, which the Company defines as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and independent living facilities that have an emphasis on private pay patients and may also include medical office buildings and rehabilitation facilities. Certain healthcare properties operate under the RIDEA structure generating resident income from short-term residential agreements and incur customary related operating expenses.
Real Estate Debt - Focused on originating, acquiring and asset managing healthcare-related debt investments including first mortgage loans, subordinate interests and mezzanine loans and participations in such loans, as well as preferred equity interests.
Healthcare-Related Securities - Focused on investing in and asset managing healthcare-related securities primarily consisting of commercial mortgage backed securities and may include other securities backed primarily by loans secured by healthcare properties.
The Company primarily generates revenue from rental and resident fee income from real estate equity and interest income on the real estate debt investments. The Company’s income is also derived through the difference between net revenue and the cost at which the Company is able to finance its investments. The Company may also acquire investments which generate attractive returns without any leverage.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this report. References to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
Introduction
We were formed primarily to acquire, originate and asset manage a diversified portfolio of equity, debt and securities investments in healthcare real estate, with a focus on the mid-acuity senior housing sector, which we define as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and independent living facilities that may have an emphasis on private pay patients. We may also acquire and originate equity and debt investments in facilities that may rely on public pay patients and other healthcare property types, including medical office buildings and rehabilitation facilities. In addition, we may acquire healthcare-related securities. We were formed in October 2010 as a Maryland corporation. We intend to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We conduct our operations so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We are externally managed and have no employees. Prior to June 30, 2014, we were managed by an affiliate of NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. (NYSE: NRF), or NorthStar Realty. Effective June 30, 2014, NorthStar Realty spun-off its asset management business into a separate publicly traded company, NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc., our Sponsor, with its common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the ticker symbol “NSAM.” Our Sponsor and its affiliates were organized to provide asset management and other services to us, NorthStar Realty, other sponsored public non-traded companies and any other companies our Sponsor may manage in the future, or collectively our NSAM Managed Companies, both in the United States and internationally. Concurrent with the spin-off, affiliates of our Sponsor entered into a new advisory agreement with us and each of the other NSAM Managed Companies. Pursuant to our advisory agreement, NSAM J-NSHC Ltd, an affiliate of our Sponsor, or our Advisor, agreed to manage our day to-day operations on terms substantially similar to those set forth in our prior advisory agreement with NorthStar Healthcare Income Advisor, LLC, or our Prior Advisor. References to our Prior Advisor herein refer to the services performed by and fees paid and accrued to our Prior Advisor during the period prior to June 30, 2014. The spin-off of NorthStar Realty’s asset management business had no impact on our operations.
Our primary investment types are as follows:
Real Estate Equity - Our equity investments may include equity investments backed by properties in the mid-acuity senior housing sector, which we define as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and independent living facilities that have an emphasis on private pay patients and may also include medical office buildings and rehabilitation facilities. Certain healthcare properties operate under the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007, or RIDEA, structure generating resident income from short-term residential agreements and incur customary related operating expenses.
Real Estate Debt - Our debt investments business focuses on originating, acquiring and asset managing healthcare related debt investments and may include first mortgage loans, subordinate interests and mezzanine loans and participations in such loans, as well as preferred equity interests.
Healthcare-Related Securities - Our securities investments may include commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, and may include other securities backed primarily by loans secured by healthcare properties.
We believe that these investment types are complementary to each other due to overlapping sources of investment opportunities and common reliance on healthcare real estate fundamentals and application of similar portfolio management skills to maximize value and to protect capital.
We are offering up to 100,000,000 shares pursuant to our primary offering, or our Primary Offering, and up to 10,526,315 shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or our DRP, which are herein collectively referred to as our Offering. We retained NorthStar Realty Securities, LLC, or our Dealer Manager, formerly a subsidiary of NorthStar Realty that became a subsidiary of NSAM upon completion of the spin-off, to serve as the dealer manager for our Primary Offering. Our Dealer Manager is responsible for marketing the shares being offered pursuant to our Primary Offering. In April 2014, our board of directors determined to extend our Offering for one year to August 7, 2015. Our Offering is expected to terminate on August 7, 2015, unless extended by our board of directors as permitted by applicable law and regulations.
On February 11, 2013, we commenced operations by satisfying the minimum offering requirement in our Primary Offering as a result of NorthStar Realty purchasing an additional 222,223 shares of common stock for $2.0 million. From inception through August 11, 2014, we raised total gross proceeds of $434.0 million.

Real Estate Equity
Overview
Our real estate equity investment strategy is focused on acquiring healthcare properties or interests in healthcare properties, with a focus on the mid-acuity senior housing sector, which we define as ALF, MCF, SNF and ILF, that have an emphasis on private pay patients. We may also acquire facilities that rely on public pay patients and other healthcare property types, including medical office buildings and rehabilitation facilities. Our equity investments are generally in the form of lease or management transactions where we purchase a property and enter into a long-term lease or management agreement with an operator responsible for contractual payments to us. In certain instances, we will enter into a RIDEA structure where we participate directly in the operational cash flow of a property. Our real estate equity investments that operate under the RIDEA structure generate resident level income from short-term residential agreements and incur customary related operating expenses. The investments typically have the potential to appreciate in value and therefore help overcome our upfront fees and expenses.
Our Portfolio
As of August 11, 2014, $328.7 million, or 75.5% of our assets, were invested in healthcare real estate equity. The properties were 100.0% leased to four operators, with a 11 year weighted average remaining lease term, excluding our healthcare investment held through a joint venture interest.

The portfolio held through a joint venture interest is comprised of over 8,500 units/beds across 38 senior housing facilities and 42 SNFs and MCFs, located primarily in Florida, Illinois, Oregon and Texas.
Real Estate Debt
Overview
Our real estate debt investment strategy is focused on originating, acquiring and asset managing debt secured by healthcare properties with a focus on the mid-acuity senior housing sector primarily including first mortgage loans, subordinate mortgage and mezzanine loans and participations in such loans and preferred equity interests.
We emphasize direct origination of our debt investments as this allows us a greater degree of control over how they are underwritten and structured and it provides us the opportunity to syndicate senior or subordinate interests in the loan, if desired. Further, it facilitates a more direct relationship with our borrowers which helps us maintain a robust pipeline and provides an opportunity for us to earn origination and other fees.
Our Portfolio
As of August 11, 2014, $105.9 million, or 24.5% of our assets, were invested in real estate debt secured by healthcare facilities. As of August 11, 2014, our real estate debt investments consisted of four loans with an average investment size of $26.5 million. The weighted average extended maturity of our real estate debt portfolio is 4.5 years.

Healthcare-Related Securities
Our healthcare-related securities investment strategy will be focused on investing in and asset managing healthcare-related securities, primarily including CMBS and may include other healthcare-related securities, backed primarily by loans secured by a variety of healthcare properties. We expect that this asset class will be less than 10% of our total portfolio and we currently do not have any securities investments.
Sources of Operating Revenues and Cash Flows
We generate revenues from rental income, resident fees and interest income. Rental income is generated from our real estate for the leasing of space to various types of healthcare operators. The leases are for fixed terms of varying length and generally provide for annual rentals and expense reimbursements paid in monthly installments. Rental income from leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. Resident fee income from healthcare properties using the RIDEA structure is recorded when services are rendered and includes resident room and care charges and other resident charges. Interest income is generated from our debt and healthcare-related securities investments. We may also acquire investments which generate attractive returns without any leverage.
Profitability and Performance Metrics
We calculate Funds from Operations, or FFO, and Modified Funds from Operations, or MFFO, (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations” for a description of these metrics) to evaluate the profitability and performance of our business.

Outlook and Recent Trends
Liquidity and capital started to become more available in the commercial real estate markets to stronger sponsors beginning in 2012 and Wall Street and commercial banks began to more actively provide credit to real estate borrowers accelerating the pace of investment in real estate. A proxy of the easing of credit and restarting of the capital markets for commercial real estate debt is the approximately $45 billion and $80 billion in non-agency CMBS issuance in 2012 and 2013, respectively, and industry experts are predicting approximately $90 billion of non-agency CMBS issuance in 2014. However, the pace of non-agency CMBS issuance is lower than initially expected with $41 billion issued in the first half of 2014 and industry experts have provided a revised estimate of $80 billion for 2014. To stimulate growth, several of the world’s largest central banks acted in a coordinated effort through massive injections of stimulus in the financial markets in late 2012, which had the effect of keeping interest rates low. Since mid-2013, there has been a focus on the pace at which the U.S. Federal Reserve and other sovereign national banks will taper their respective stimulus efforts. This change in policy has led to and may continue in the future to result in an increase in interest rates on U.S. government and other sovereign government bonds as well as interest rates more generally. However, the U.S. Federal Reserve has indicated that it intends to keep short-term interest rates near zero while monitoring macroeconomic conditions, but there can be no assurance that these policies will remain unchanged.
Partly as a result of this stimulus, the commercial real estate markets have improved, with valuations approaching, and in some cases exceeding, 2007 levels. However, a range of economic and political headwinds remain, including a moderate labor market recovery, legislative gridlock, potential conflict over budget deficits and the debt ceiling, the impact of the Affordable Care Act, uncertain U.S. Federal Reserve policy, concern with global market economies and strife, among other matters. We expect that this dynamic, along with global market instability and the risk of maturing commercial real estate debt that may have difficulties being refinanced, will continue to cause periodic volatility in the commercial real estate market for some time. It is currently estimated that approximately $1.4 trillion of commercial real estate debt will mature through 2017. While there is an increased supply of liquidity in the commercial real estate market, we still anticipate that certain of these loans will not be able to be refinanced, potentially inhibiting growth and contracting credit.
As the capital markets began opening up in 2012, NorthStar Realty began to again access the capital markets as evidenced by two securitization transactions it structured, securitizing $882 million of assets, one on behalf of NorthStar Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., another non-traded REIT managed by our Advisor, with permanent, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing. The stimulus in the United States helped to increase demand for new CMBS, as described above, even though current new issue volume is still below historic levels, which has contributed to relatively balanced real estate fundamentals.
Virtually all commercial real estate property types were adversely impacted by the credit crisis and subsequent recession, while others such as land, condominium and other commercial property types were more severely impacted. Our commercial real estate equity, debt and securities investments, if any, could be negatively impacted by weak real estate markets and economic conditions.
After showing considerable resiliency during the economic downturn between 2007 and 2010, the non-traded REIT industry has experienced rapid growth with approximately $20 billion of total capital raised in 2013, which is more than double compared to the year ended 2012. Due to these market dynamics and our Advisor’s expertise and industry relationships, we continue to see a robust pipeline of investment opportunities in the healthcare real estate sector that have credit qualities and yield profiles that are consistent with our underwriting standards and that we believe offer the opportunity to meet or exceed our targeted returns. While we remain optimistic that we will continue to be able to generate and capitalize on an attractive pipeline, there is no assurance that will be the case.
Healthcare Markets
The healthcare real estate equity and finance markets tend to attract new equity and debt capital more slowly than more traditional commercial real estate property types because of significant barriers to entry for new investors or lenders to healthcare property owners. Investing in and lending to the healthcare real estate sector requires an in-depth understanding of the specialized nature of healthcare facility operations and the healthcare regulatory environment. While these competitive constraints may create opportunities for attractive investments in the healthcare property sector, they may also provide challenges and risks when seeking attractive financing terms for our investments.
We believe owners and operators of senior housing facilities and other healthcare properties are benefiting from demographic trends, specifically the aging of the U.S. population and the increasing demand for care for seniors outside of their homes. As a result of these demographic trends, we expect healthcare costs to increase at a faster rate than the available funding from both private sources and government-sponsored healthcare programs. As healthcare costs increase, insurers, individuals and the U.S. government are pursuing lower cost options for healthcare. Senior housing facilities, such as independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities, for which the staffing requirements and associated costs are often significantly lower than in higher acuity healthcare settings, such as short or long-term acute-care hospitals, in-patient rehabilitation facilities and other post-acute care settings, provide care and support to residents in more cost effective settings.


30




Table of Contents




Recent regulatory changes have created incentives for long-term acute-care hospitals and in-patient rehabilitation facilities to minimize patient lengths of stay and placed limits on the type of patient that can be admitted to these facilities, thereby increasing the demand for quality senior housing facilities. The growth in total demand for healthcare, broad U.S. demographic changes and the shift towards cost effective community-based settings is resulting in dynamic changes to the healthcare delivery system. We continually monitor federal and state reimbursement programs and assess any impact that changes in reimbursement levels or the timing of payments may have on the ability of our operators to meet their payment obligations.
Despite the growth in the industry and favorable market conditions, economic uncertainty may prevail weakening the market’s fundamentals and ultimately reducing an operator/tenant’s ability to make rent payments in accordance with the contractual terms of the lease or loan, as well as the possibility for reduced income for our operating investments. To the extent that market rental and occupancy rates decline, property-level cash flow could be negatively affected as existing leases renew at lower rates and over longer periods of time, the decreased cash flow impacts the value of underlying properties and the borrowers’ ability to service their outstanding loans.
Despite the barriers and constraints to investing in the senior housing sector, the demographics and other market dynamics are resulting in the sector becoming more attractive to investors. Merger and acquisition activity in the senior housing real estate market is currently robust and we expect it to remain so into the near term.
Our Strategy
Our primary business objectives are to acquire and originate a diversified portfolio of healthcare-related equity and debt investments, with a focus on the mid-acuity senior housing sector that we expect will generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, stable cash flow for distributions and provide downside protection to our stockholders. Some of our debt investments may be considered transitional in nature because the borrower or owner may have a business plan to improve the collateral and as a result we generally require the borrower to fund interest or other reserves, whether through proceeds from our loan or otherwise, to support debt service payments and capital expenditures. We will also require the borrower or owner, and possibly a guarantor, to refill these reserves should they become deficient during the applicable period for any reason. We will also seek to realize growth in the value of our real estate equity investments through appreciation and/or by timing their sale to maximize value. We believe that our Advisor has a platform that derives a competitive advantage from the combination of deep industry relationships, market leading real estate credit underwriting and capital markets expertise which enables us to manage credit risk across our investments as well as to structure and finance our assets efficiently. We believe that our investment types are complementary to each other due to their overlapping sources of investment opportunities, common reliance on real estate fundamentals and ability to apply similar portfolio management and servicing skills to maximize value and to protect capital. We use the net proceeds from our Offering and other financing sources to carry out our primary business objectives of originating and acquiring healthcare real estate-related investments.

Financing Strategy
We use investment-level financing as part of our strategy and we seek to match fund our assets and liabilities by having similar maturities and like-kind interest rate benchmarks (fixed or floating) to manage refinancing and interest rate risk. Our Advisor is responsible for managing such refinancing and interest rate risk on our behalf. We intend to pursue a variety of financing arrangements such as mortgage notes, credit facilities, securitization financing transactions and other term borrowings. While we will continue to seek and prefer long-term, non-recourse financing, including non mark-to-market financing that may be available through securitization, we expect that we may also need to use some level of recourse financing at least in the near term given the current market environment.

In November 2013, we entered into a credit facility agreement with initial capacity of $25.0 million and up to $100.0 million of potential capacity to finance real estate investments and first mortgage loans secured by healthcare real estate. In February 2014, we increased the initial capacity to $100.0 million with up to $200.0 million of potential capacity. As of June 30, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.
Although we have a limitation on the maximum leverage for our portfolio, which approximates 75% of the aggregate cost of our investments, including cash, before deducting loan loss reserves, other non-cash reserves and depreciation, we do not have a targeted debt-to-equity ratio on an asset-by-asset basis, as we believe the appropriate leverage for the particular assets we finance depends on the specific credit characteristics of each asset. We use leverage for the sole purpose of financing our investments and diversifying our equity and we do not employ leverage to speculate on changes in interest rates. We seek assignable long-term, non-recourse, non-mark to market financing. We also seek to match the term of the financing with the lease term of our healthcare properties.
Portfolio Management
Our Advisor maintains a comprehensive portfolio management process that generally includes day-to-day oversight by the portfolio management and servicing team, weekly management meetings and an exhaustive quarterly credit review process. These processes are designed to enable management to evaluate and proactively identify asset-specific credit issues and trends on a portfolio-wide basis. Nevertheless, we cannot be certain that our Advisor’s review will identify all issues within our portfolio due to, among other things, adverse economic conditions or events adversely affecting specific assets; therefore, potential future losses may also stem from investments that are not identified during these credit reviews. The portfolio management team uses many methods to actively manage our asset base to preserve our income and capital. Credit risk management is the ability to manage our assets in a manner that preserves principal/cost and income and minimizes credit losses that could decrease income and portfolio value. For real estate and debt investments, frequent re-underwriting and dialogue with borrowers/operators/partners and regular inspections of our collateral and owned properties have proven to be an effective process for identifying issues early. In addition, our Advisor considers the impact of regulatory changes on operator performance and property values. During the quarterly credit review, or more frequently as necessary, investments are put on highly-monitored status and identified for possible loan loss reserves/asset impairment, as appropriate, based upon several factors, including missed or late contractual payments, significant declines in collateral performance and other data which may indicate a potential issue in our ability to recover our invested capital from an investment. Our Advisor uses an experienced portfolio management and servicing team that monitors these factors on our behalf.
Our investments are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our investments may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. In conducting these reviews, we consider U.S. macroeconomic factors, including real estate sector conditions, together with asset and market specific circumstances among other factors. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as compared to the carrying amount of the investment. An allowance for a doubtful account for an operator/resident receivable is established based on a periodic review of aged receivables resulting from estimated losses due to the inability of operator/resident to make required rent and other payments contractually due. Additionally, we establish, on a current basis, allowance for future operator credit losses on billed and unbilled rents receivable based upon an evaluation of the collectability of such amounts.
Each of our debt investments is secured by healthcare real estate collateral and requires customized portfolio management and servicing strategies for dealing with potential credit situations. The complexity of each situation depends on many factors, including the number of properties, the type of property, macro and local market conditions impacting supply/demand, cash flow and the financial condition of our collateral and our borrowers’/operators’ ability to further support the collateral. Further, many of our investments may be considered transitional in nature because the business plan is to re-position, re-develop or otherwise lease-up the property in order to improve the collateral. At the time of origination or acquisition, the underlying property revenues may not be sufficient to support debt service, lease payments or generate positive net operating income. The business plan may necessitate an interest or lease reserve or other reserves, whether through proceeds from our loans, borrowings, offering proceeds or otherwise, to support debt service or lease payments and capital expenditures during the implementation of the business plan. There may also be a requirement for the borrower, operator, guarantor or us, to refill these reserves should they become deficient during the applicable period for any reason.
As of June 30, 2014, all of our investments were performing in accordance with the contractual terms of their governing documents, consistent with their underwriting. However, there can be no assurance that our investments will continue to perform in accordance with the contractual terms of the governing documents or underwriting and we may, in the future, record loan loss reserves/asset impairment, as appropriate, if required.

Critical Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. We consolidate variable interest entities, or VIEs, if any, where we are the primary beneficiary and voting interest entities which are generally majority owned or otherwise controlled by us. All significant intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE includes both a qualitative and quantitative analysis. We base the qualitative analysis on our review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and relevant financial agreements and the quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flow of the entity. We reassess the initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events.
A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents has both the: (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of its investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other interests to provide financial support; consideration of the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders and the similarity with and significance to our business activities and the other interests. We reassess the determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE each reporting period. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair value and performance of investments held by these VIEs and general market conditions.
We evaluate our investments and financings, including investments in unconsolidated ventures and securitization financing transactions, if any, to determine whether they are a VIE. We analyze new investments and financings, as well as reconsideration events for existing investments and financings, which vary depending on type of investment or financing. As of June 30, 2014, we have not identified any VIEs related to our investments or financing.
Voting Interest Entities
A voting interest entity is an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable it to finance its activities independently and the equity holders have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the losses of the entity and the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity is ownership of a majority voting interest. If we have a majority voting interest in a voting interest entity, the entity will generally be consolidated. We do not consolidate a voting interest entity if there are substantive participating rights by other parties and/or kick-out rights by a single party.
We perform on-going reassessments of whether entities previously evaluated under the voting interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain events, and therefore subject to the VIE consolidation framework.
Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
We have non-controlling, unconsolidated ownership interests in entities that may be accounted for using the equity method, at fair value or the cost method.
Under the equity method, the investment is adjusted each period for capital contributions and distributions and its share of the entity’s net income (loss). Capital contributions, distributions and net income (loss) of such entities are recorded in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. An allocation of net income (loss) may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of preferred returns and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents.
We may account for an investment in an unconsolidated entity at fair value by electing the fair value option. We may account for investments that do not qualify for equity method accounting or for which the fair value option was not elected using the cost method if we determine the investment in the unconsolidated entity is insignificant. Under the cost method, equity in earnings is recorded as dividends are received to the extent they are not considered a return of capital, which is recorded as a reduction of cost of the investment.

Operating Real Estate
We follow the purchase method for an acquisition of operating real estate, where the purchase price is allocated to tangible assets such as land, building, furniture and fixtures, improvements and other identified intangibles. Major replacements and betterments which improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Operating real estate is carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Operating real estate is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs directly related to an acquisition deemed to be a business combination are expensed and included in transaction costs in the consolidated statements of operations.
Real Estate Debt Investments
Debt investments are generally intended to be held to maturity and, accordingly, are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan fees, premium, discount and unfunded commitments. Debt investments that are deemed to be impaired are carried at amortized cost less a loan loss reserve, if deemed appropriate, which approximates fair value. Debt investments where we do not have the intent to hold the loan for the foreseeable future or until its expected payoff are classified as held for sale and recorded at the lower of cost or estimated value.
Real Estate Securities
We classify our securities investments as available for sale on the acquisition date, which are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains (losses) are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, or OCI, in our consolidated statements of equity. However, we may elect the fair value option for certain of our available for sale securities, and as a result, any unrealized gains (losses) on such securities are recorded in unrealized gain (loss) on investments and other in our consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Operating Real Estate
Rental and escalation income, if any, from operating real estate is derived from leasing of space to various types of healthcare operators. The leases are for fixed terms of varying length and generally provide for annual rentals to be paid in monthly installments. Rental income from leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is included in receivables on our consolidated balance sheets. Escalation income, if any, represents revenue from operator leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes paid by us on behalf of the respective property, as applicable. This revenue is accrued in the same period as the expenses are incurred.
We also generate operating income from healthcare properties permitted by RIDEA. Revenue related to healthcare properties includes resident room and care charges and other resident charges.
Real Estate Debt Investments
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and any related premium, discount, origination costs and fees are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in our consolidated statements of operations. The amortization of a premium or accretion of a discount is discontinued if such loan is reclassified to held for sale.
Real Estate Securities
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method with any premium or discount amortized or accreted through earnings based on expected cash flow through the expected maturity date of the security. Changes to expected cash flow may result in a change to the yield which is then applied retrospectively for high-credit quality securities that cannot be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder would not recover substantially all of the investment or prospectively for all other securities to recognize interest income.
Credit Losses and Impairment on Investments
Operating Real Estate
Our real estate portfolio is reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our operating real estate may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. A property’s value is considered impaired if management’s estimate of the aggregate expected future undiscounted cash flow generated by the property is less than the carrying value. In conducting this review, management considers U.S.

Table of Contents




macroeconomic factors, real estate and healthcare sector conditions and asset specific and other factors. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the property over the estimated fair value and recorded in impairment on operating real estate in our consolidated statements of operations.
An allowance for a doubtful account for an operator/resident receivable is established based on a periodic review of aged receivables resulting from estimated losses due to the inability of operator/resident to make required rent and other payments contractually due. Additionally, we establish, on a current basis, an allowance for future operator/resident credit losses on unbilled rent receivable based on an evaluation of the collectability of such amounts.
Real Estate Debt Investments
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will not be able to collect principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms. We assess the credit quality of the portfolio and adequacy of loan loss reserves on a quarterly basis or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment of management is required in this analysis. We consider the estimated net recoverable value of the loan as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the quality and financial condition of the borrower and the competitive situation of the area where the underlying collateral is located. Because this determination is based on projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amount ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. If upon completion of the assessment, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the net carrying value of the loan, a loan loss reserve is recorded with a corresponding charge to provision for loan losses. The loan loss reserve for each loan is maintained at a level that is determined to be adequate by management to absorb probable losses.
Income recognition is suspended for a loan at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt, contractual interest is recorded as interest income when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A loan is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. As of June 30, 2014, we did not have any impaired real estate debt investments.
Real Estate Securities
Securities for which the fair value option is elected are not evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment, or OTTI, as any change in fair value is recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. Realized losses on such securities are reclassified to realized gain (loss) on investments and other as losses occur.
Securities for which the fair value option is not elected are evaluated for OTTI quarterly. Impairment of a security is considered to be other-than-temporary when: (i) the holder has the intent to sell the impaired security; (ii) it is more likely than not the holder will be required to sell the security; or (iii) the holder does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security. When a security has been deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to (i) or (ii), the security is written down to its fair value and an OTTI is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. In the case of (iii), the security is written down to its fair value and the amount of OTTI is then bifurcated into: (a) the amount related to expected credit losses; and (b) the amount related to fair value adjustments in excess of expected credit losses. The portion of OTTI related to expected credit losses is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. The remaining OTTI related to the valuation adjustment is recognized as a component of accumulated OCI in our consolidated statements of equity. The portion of OTTI recognized through earnings is accreted back to the amortized cost basis of the security through interest income, while amounts recognized through OCI are amortized over the life of the security with no impact on earnings. Real estate securities which are not high-credit quality are considered to have an OTTI if the security has an unrealized loss and there has been an adverse change in expected cash flow. The amount of OTTI is then bifurcated as discussed above.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Ventures
Equity in losses of unconsolidated ventures of $0.3 million was related to our investment in the healthcare joint venture. Contributing to such loss was $0.6 million related to transaction costs and depreciation expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require capital to fund our investment activities and operating expenses. Our capital sources may include net proceeds from our Offering, cash flow from operations, net proceeds from asset repayments and sales, borrowings under credit facilities, other term borrowings and securitization financing transactions.
We are dependent upon the net proceeds from our Offering to conduct our operations. We obtain the capital required to primarily acquire, originate and asset manage a diversified portfolio of equity, debt and securities investments in healthcare real estate and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our Offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations. In April 2014, our board of directors determined to extend our Offering for one year to August 7, 2015. As of August 11, 2014, we had $148.3 million in cash.
If we are unable to raise substantially more funds in our Offering, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we have certain fixed direct and indirect operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our Offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.
Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our Offering, we expect that our financing will not exceed 50.0% of the cost of our investments, although it may exceed this level during our organization and offering stage. Our charter limits us from incurring borrowings that would exceed 300.0% of our net assets. We cannot exceed this limit unless any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by a majority of our independent directors. We would need to disclose any such approval to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess. An approximation of this leverage calculation is 75.0% of the cost of our investments, including cash. As of June 30, 2014, our leverage was 16.6%.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we use our capital resources to make certain payments to our Advisor and our Dealer Manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees and payments to our Dealer Manager and our Advisor, or its affiliates, as applicable, for reimbursement of certain organization and offering costs. However, we will not be obligated to reimburse our Advisor, or its affiliates, as applicable, to the extent that the aggregate of selling commissions,


38




Table of Contents




dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs incurred by us exceed 15.0% of gross proceeds from our Primary Offering. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our Advisor, or its affiliates, as applicable, in connection with the selection and origination or acquisition of investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our Advisor in providing services to us. On June 30, 2014, we entered into a new advisory agreement with our Advisor, on terms substantially similar to those set forth in our prior advisory agreement with our Prior Advisor, which has a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of our Advisor and our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors.
Term Loan Facility
We currently have one credit facility, or our Term Loan Facility, with initial capacity of up to $100.0 million and potential capacity of up to $200.0 million. Our Term Loan Facility allows us to finance real estate investments and first mortgage loans secured by healthcare real estate. The interest rate and advance rate depend on asset type and characteristic. The initial maturity date of our Term Loan Facility is November 2016, with a one-year extension available at our option, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions. Our Term Loan Facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. We are currently in compliance with all of our financial covenants under our Term Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan Facility.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to June 30, 2013
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $8,638 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to fees paid to our Advisor for the acquisition and management of our investments, general and administrative expenses and interest expense, offset by income generated from our real estate equity and debt investments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $204.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to our new real estate equity and debt investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $243.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities related to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock through our Offering and borrowings, offset by distributions paid on our common stock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have certain arrangements which do not meet the definition of off-balance sheet arrangements, but do have some of the characteristics of off-balance sheet arrangements. We have made investments in unconsolidated ventures. Refer to Note 4. “Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures” in Item 1. “Financial Statements” for a discussion of such unconsolidated ventures in our consolidated financial statements. In each case, our exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of our investment.
Related Party Arrangements
Advisor
In connection with the completion of NorthStar Realty’s spin-off of its asset management business into NSAM, on June 30, 2014, we entered into a new advisory agreement with our Advisor, an affiliate of NSAM, on terms substantially similar to those set forth in the prior advisory agreement, and terminated the advisory agreement with our Prior Advisor. For periods prior to June 30, 2014, the information below regarding fees and reimbursements incurred and accrued but not yet paid relates to our Prior Advisor.

Table of Contents




Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our Advisor is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying, originating, acquiring and asset managing investments on our behalf. For such services, to the extent permitted by law and regulations, our Advisor receives fees and reimbursements from us. Below is a description and table of the fees and reimbursements incurred to our Advisor.
Fees to Advisor
Asset Management Fee
Our Advisor, or its affiliates, receives a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the sum of the amount funded or allocated for investments, including expenses and any financing attributable to such investments, less any principal received on debt and securities investments (or our proportionate share thereof in the case of an investment made through a joint venture).
Acquisition Fee
Our Advisor, or its affiliates, also receives an acquisition fee equal to 1.0% of the amount funded or allocated by us to acquire or originate investments, including acquisition expenses and any financing attributable to such investments (or our proportionate share thereof in the case of an investment made through a joint venture) except with respect to real estate property and 2.25% of each real estate property acquired by us, including acquisition expenses and any financing attributable to an equity investment (or our proportionate share thereof in the case of an equity investment made through a joint venture). An acquisition fee paid to our Advisor related to the origination or acquisition of debt investments is included in debt investments, net on our consolidated balance sheets and is amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. An acquisition fee incurred related to an equity investment will generally be expensed as incurred.
Disposition Fee
For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of investments and based on the services provided, our Advisor, or its affiliates, receives a disposition fee equal to 1.0% of the contract sales price of each debt investment sold and 2.0% of the contract sales price of each property sold. We do not pay a disposition fee upon the maturity, prepayment, workout, modification or extension of a debt investment unless there is a corresponding fee paid by our borrower, in which case the disposition fee is the lesser of: (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of the debt investment prior to such transaction; or (ii) the amount of the fee paid by our borrower in connection with such transaction. If we take ownership of a property as a result of a workout or foreclosure of a debt investment, we will pay a disposition fee upon the sale of such property. A disposition fee from the sale of an investment is generally expensed and included in asset management and other fees - related party in our consolidated statements of operations. A disposition fee for a debt investment incurred in a transaction other than a sale is included in debt investments, net on our consolidated balance sheets and is amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the effective interest method.
Reimbursements to Advisor
Operating Costs
Our Advisor, or its affiliates, is entitled to receive reimbursement for direct and indirect operating costs incurred by our Advisor in connection with administrative services provided to us. Indirect operating costs include our allocable share of costs incurred by our Advisor for personnel and other overhead such as rent, technology and utilities. However, there is no reimbursement for personnel costs related to executive officers and other personnel involved in activities for which our Advisor receives an acquisition fee or a disposition fee. We reimburse our Advisor quarterly for operating costs (including the asset management fee) based on a calculation for the four preceding fiscal quarters not to exceed the greater of: (i) 2.0% of our average invested assets; or (ii) 25.0% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, loan losses or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. Notwithstanding the above, we may reimburse our Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. We calculate the expense reimbursement quarterly based upon the trailing twelve-month period.
Organization and Offering Costs
Our Advisor, or its affiliates, is entitled to receive reimbursement for organization and offering costs paid on behalf of us in connection with our Offering. We are obligated to reimburse our Advisor, or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs to the extent the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs do not exceed 15.0% of gross proceeds from our Primary Offering. Our Advisor does not expect reimbursable organization and offering costs, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees, to exceed $15.0 million, or 1.5% of the total proceeds

available to be raised from our Primary Offering. We shall not reimburse our Advisor for any organization and offering costs that our independent directors determine are not fair and commercially reasonable to us.
Dealer Manager
Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees
Pursuant to the dealer manager agreement, we pay NorthStar Realty Securities, LLC, or Dealer Manager, selling commissions of up to 7.0% of gross proceeds from our Primary Offering, all of which are reallowed to participating broker-dealers. In addition, we pay our Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee of up to 3.0% of gross proceeds from our Primary Offering, a portion of which is reallowed to participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid for sales pursuant to our DRP.

NorthStar Realty Purchase of Common Stock
On April 10, 2014, our board of directors extended the term of our distribution support agreement, or our Distribution Support Agreement, until August 7, 2015. Pursuant to our Distribution Support Agreement, NorthStar Realty committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10.0 million in shares of our common stock at a price of $9.00 per share if cash distributions exceed MFFO to provide additional funds to support distributions to stockholders. In February 2013, NorthStar Realty purchased 222,223 shares of our common stock for $2.0 million under our Distribution Support Agreement to satisfy the minimum offering requirement, which reduced the total commitment. As of June 30, 2014, including the purchase of shares to satisfy the minimum offering requirement, NorthStar Realty purchased 243,107 shares of our common stock for $2.2 million under such commitment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, NorthStar Realty purchased 9,716 shares of our common stock for $0.1 million under such commitment.
Investment in Healthcare Joint Venture
In May 2014, we, through a general partnership with NorthStar Realty, entered into the healthcare joint venture to acquire an interest in a $1.1 billion healthcare real estate portfolio and contributed $23.4 million of cash for our interest in the investment. The purchase was approved by our board of directors, including all of its independent directors.

Recent Developments
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
From July 1, 2014 through August 11, 2014, we issued 225,358 shares of common stock pursuant to our DRP raising proceeds of $2.1 million. As of August 11, 2014, 9.9 million shares were available to be issued pursuant to our DRP.
Offering Proceeds
From July 1, 2014 through August 11, 2014, we issued 8.9 million shares of common stock pursuant to our Offering generating gross proceeds of $89.0 million. From inception through August 11, 2014, we issued 43.5 million shares of common stock pursuant to our Offering generating gross proceeds of $434.0 million.
Distributions
On August 6, 2014, our board of directors approved a daily cash distribution of $0.00184932 per share of common stock for each of the three months ended December 31, 2014. Distributions are generally paid to stockholders on the first day of the month following the month for which the distribution was accrued.
NorthStar Realty Purchase of Common Stock
On August 6, 2014, our board of directors approved the sale of 60,141 shares of our common stock to NorthStar Realty, pursuant to our Distribution Support Agreement. In connection with this commitment and including NorthStar Realty’s purchase of shares approved on August 6, 2014, NorthStar Realty purchased 303,248 shares for $2.7 million.
Share Repurchases
From July 1, 2014 through August 11, 2014, we repurchased 12,499 shares for a total of $124,969 or a weighted average price of $10.00 per share under a share repurchase program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances, or our Share Repurchase Program.
New Investments
In July 2014, we entered into an agreement to acquire a $125.0 million senior living portfolio comprised of four properties, 570 units and 714 beds, located in Long Island, New York. Although there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed, pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, we must complete the acquisition of the portfolio on or before September 11, 2014.
Inflation
Virtually all of our assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive in nature. As a result, interest rates and other factors influence our performance significantly more than inflation does. A change in interest rates may correlate with the inflation rate. Substantially all of the leases allow for annual rent increases based on the relevant consumer price index. Such types of leases generally minimize the risks of inflation on our healthcare properties.
Refer to Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional details.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that FFO and MFFO, both of which are a non-GAAP measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and of us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciable property, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment on depreciable property owned directly or indirectly and after adjustments for unconsolidated ventures.
Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under U.S. GAAP that have been put into effect since the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in the non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO. For instance, the accounting treatment for acquisition fees related to business combinations has changed from being capitalized to being expensed. Additionally, publicly registered, non-traded REITs are typically different from traded REITs because they generally have a limited life followed by a liquidity event or other targeted exit strategy. Non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and


42




Table of Contents




operation as compared to later years when the proceeds from their initial public offering have been fully invested and when they may seek to implement a liquidity event or other exit strategy. However, it is likely that we will make investments past the acquisition and development stage, albeit at a substantially lower pace.
Acquisition fees paid to our Advisor in connection with the origination and acquisition of debt investments are amortized over the life of the investment as an adjustment to interest income under U.S. GAAP and are therefore, included in the computation of net income (loss) and income (loss) from operations, both of which are performance measures under U.S. GAAP. Such acquisition fees are paid in cash that would otherwise be available to distribute to our stockholders. In the event that proceeds from our Offering are not sufficient to fund the payment or reimbursement of acquisition fees and expenses to our Advisor, such fees would be paid from other sources, including new financing, operating cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of investments or from other cash flow. We believe that acquisition fees incurred by us negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which such investments are acquired or originated by reducing cash flow and therefore the potential distributions to our stockholders. However, in general, we earn origination fees for debt investments from our borrowers in an amount equal to the acquisition fees paid to our Advisor, and as a result, the impact of acquisition fees to our operating performance and cash flow would be minimal.
Acquisition fees and expenses paid to our Advisor and third parties in connection with the acquisition of equity investments are considered expenses and are included in the determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under U.S. GAAP. Such fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by our Advisor or its affiliates and third parties, and therefore, if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to fund future acquisition fees and expenses, such fees and expenses will need to be paid from either additional debt, operating earnings, cash flow or net proceeds from the sale of properties. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on future distributions to stockholders and cash flow generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property.
The origination and acquisition of debt investments and the corresponding acquisition fees paid to our Advisor (and any offsetting origination fees received from our borrowers) associated with such activity is a key operating feature of our business plan that results in generating income and cash flow in order to make distributions to our stockholders. Therefore, the exclusion for acquisition fees may be of limited value in calculating operating performance because acquisition fees affect our overall long-term operating performance and may be recurring in nature as part of net income (loss) and income (loss) from operations over our life.
Due to certain of the unique features of publicly-registered, non-traded REITs, the Investment Program Association, or the IPA, an industry trade group, standardized a performance measure known as MFFO and recommends the use of MFFO for such REITs. Management believes MFFO is a useful performance measure to evaluate our business and further believes it is important to disclose MFFO in order to be consistent with the IPA recommendation and other non-traded REITs. MFFO that adjusts for items such as acquisition fees would only be comparable to non-traded REITs that have completed the majority of their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics as us. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, nor any other regulatory body has approved the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate MFFO. In the future, the SEC or another regulatory body may decide to standardize permitted adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we may need to adjust our calculation and characterization of MFFO.
MFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate our future operating performance once our organization and offering and acquisition and development stages are complete and is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure. Although management uses the MFFO metric to evaluate future operating performance, this metric excludes certain key operating items and other adjustments that may affect our overall operating performance. MFFO is not equivalent to net income (loss) as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value, since an impairment is taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.
We define MFFO in accordance with the concepts established by the IPA and adjust for certain items, such as accretion of a discount and amortization of a premium on borrowings and related deferred financing costs, as such adjustments are comparable to adjustments for debt investments and will be helpful in assessing our operating performance. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not calculate MFFO using the same method. MFFO is calculated using FFO. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s cash flow generated by operations. MFFO excludes from FFO the following items:
acquisition fees and expenses;


43




Table of Contents




non-cash amounts related to straight-line rent and the amortization of above or below market and in-place intangible lease assets and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from an accrual basis of accounting under U.S. GAAP to a cash basis of accounting);
amortization of a premium and accretion of a discount on debt investments;
non-recurring impairment of real estate-related investments;
realized gains (losses) from the early extinguishment of debt;
realized gains (losses) on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivative holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our business;
unrealized gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on real estate securities, including CMBS and other securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives not deemed hedges and foreign exchange holdings;
unrealized gains (losses) from the consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;
adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; and
adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis as above.
Certain of the above adjustments are also made to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, such as for the amortization of a premium and accretion of a discount on debt and securities investments, amortization of fees, any unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives, securities or other investments, as well as other adjustments.
MFFO excludes non-recurring impairment of real estate-related investments. We assess the credit quality of our investments and adequacy of reserves/impairment on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. With respect to debt investments, we consider the estimated net recoverable value of the loan as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the prospects for the borrower and the competitive situation of the region where the borrower does business. Fair value is typically estimated based on discounting expected future cash flow of the underlying collateral taking into consideration the discount rate, capitalization rate, occupancy, creditworthiness of major tenants and many other factors. This requires significant judgment and because it is based on projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amount ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. A property’s value is considered impaired if our estimate of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flow to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. If the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral for the debt investment is less than its net carrying value, a loan loss reserve is recorded with a corresponding charge to provision for loan losses. With respect to a real estate investment, a property’s value is considered impaired if our estimate of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flow to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. The value of our investments may be impaired and their carrying values may not be recoverable due to our limited life. Investors should note that while impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of MFFO, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flow and the relatively limited term of a non-traded REIT’s anticipated operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges through operational net revenues or cash flow prior to any liquidity event.
We believe that MFFO is a useful non-GAAP measure for non-traded REITs. It is helpful to management and stockholders in assessing our future operating performance once our organization and offering and acquisition and development stages are complete, because it eliminates from net income non-cash fair value adjustments on our real estate securities and acquisition fees and expenses that are incurred as part of our investment activities. However, MFFO may not be a useful measure of our operating performance or as a comparable measure to other typical non-traded REITs if we do not continue to operate in a similar manner to other non-traded REITs, including if we were to extend our acquisition and development stage or if we determined not to pursue an exit strategy.
However, MFFO does have certain limitations. For instance, the effect of any amortization or accretion on investments originated or acquired at a premium or discount, respectively, is not reported in MFFO. In addition, realized gains (losses) from acquisitions and dispositions and other adjustments listed above are not reported in MFFO, even though such realized gains (losses) and other adjustments could affect our operating performance and cash available for distribution. Stockholders should note that any cash gains generated from the sale of investments would generally be used to fund new investments. Any mark-to-market or fair value adjustments may be based on many factors, including current operational or individual property issues or general market or overall industry conditions.
Neither FFO nor MFFO is equivalent to net income (loss) or cash flow provided by operating activities determined in

accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the U.S. GAAP methodology in evaluating our operating performance. Neither FFO nor MFFO is necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Furthermore, neither FFO nor MFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance.

Distributions Declared and Paid
We generally pay distributions on a monthly basis based on daily record dates. From the date of our first investment on April 5, 2013 through June 30, 2014, we paid distributions at an annualized distribution rate of 6.75% based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share of our common stock. Distributions are generally paid to stockholders on the first day of the month following the month for which the distribution has accrued.

Represents distributions declared for such period, even though such distributions are actually paid to stockholders the month following such period.
Distributions in excess of our cash flow used in operations were paid using Offering proceeds, including from the purchase of additional shares by NorthStar Realty. Over the long-term, we expect that our distributions will be paid entirely from cash flow provided by operations. However, our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including our ability to raise and invest capital at favorable yields, the financial performance of our investments in the current real estate and financial environment, the type and mix of our investments and accounting of our investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Future distributions declared and paid may exceed cash flow provided by operations. To the extent distributions are paid from sources other than FFO, the ownership interest of our public stockholders will be diluted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are primarily subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. These risks are dependent on various factors beyond our control, including monetary and fiscal policies, domestic and international economic conditions and political considerations. Our market risk sensitive assets, liabilities and related derivative positions are held for investment and not for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Changes in interest rates affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on our investments and the interest expense incurred in connection with our borrowings and derivatives, if any.
Our debt and securities investments bear interest at either a floating or fixed-rate. The interest rate on our floating-rate assets is a fixed spread over an index such as LIBOR and typically reprices every 30 days based on LIBOR in effect at the time. Currently, most of our floating-rate debt investments have a fixed minimum LIBOR rate that is in excess of current LIBOR. We will not benefit from an increase in LIBOR until it is in excess of the LIBOR floors. Given the frequent and periodic repricing of our floating-rate assets, changes in benchmark interest rates are unlikely to materially affect the value of our floating-rate portfolio. Changes in short-term rates will, however, affect income from our investments. As of June 30, 2014, most of our floating-rate investments had LIBOR floors in excess of the current LIBOR rate, so a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates (including the effect of the interest rate floor) would increase net income by $0.3 million annually.
A change in interest rates could affect the value of our fixed-rate debt investments. For example, an increase in interest rates would result in a higher required yield on investments, which would decrease the value on existing fixed-rate investments in order to adjust their yields to current market levels.
Credit Spread Risk
The value of our fixed and floating-rate investments also changes with market credit spreads. This means that when market-demanded risk premium, or credit spread, increases, the value of our fixed and floating-rate assets decrease and vice versa. Fixed-rate assets are valued based on a market credit spread over the rate payable on fixed-rate U.S. Treasury of like maturity. This means that their value is dependent on the yield demanded on such assets by the market, based on their credit relative to U.S. Treasuries. The floating-rate debt and securities investments are valued based on a market credit spread over the applicable LIBOR. Demand for a higher yield on investments results in higher or “wider” spread over the benchmark rate (usually the applicable U.S. Treasury yield) to value these assets. Under these conditions, the value of our portfolio should decrease. Conversely, if the spread used to value these assets were to decrease or “tighten,” the value of these assets should increase.
Our general financing strategy has focused on the use of “match-funded” structures. This means that we seek to align the maturities of our liabilities with the maturities on our real estate debt investments as closely as possible in order to manage the risks of being forced to refinance our liabilities prior to the maturities of our debt investments. We are subject to interest rate risk because on certain debt investments, we maintain a net floating-rate asset position, and, therefore, our income will increase with increases in interest rates and decrease with declines in interest rates.
Credit Risk
Credit risk in our debt and securities investments relates to each individual borrower’s ability to make required interest and principal payments on scheduled due dates. We seek to manage credit risk through our Advisor’s comprehensive credit analysis prior to making an investment, actively monitoring our portfolio and the underlying credit quality, including subordination and diversification of our portfolio. Our analysis is based on a broad range of real estate, financial, economic and borrower-related factors which we believe are critical to the evaluation of credit risk inherent in a transaction. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, three debt investments each contributed more than 10% of interest income.
We are subject to the credit risk of the lessee of operators of our healthcare properties. We undertake a rigorous credit evaluation of each healthcare operator prior to acquiring healthcare properties. This analysis includes an extensive due diligence investigation of the operator’s business as well as an assessment of the strategic importance of the underlying real estate to the operator’s core business operations. Where appropriate, we may seek to augment the operator’s commitment to the facility by structuring various credit enhancement mechanisms into the underlying leases. These mechanisms could include security deposit requirements or guarantees from entities we deem creditworthy. In addition, we actively monitor lease coverage at each facility within our healthcare portfolio. However, approximately 2.3% of our operator revenues are derived from government sources, notably Medicare or Medicaid. Previously announced and potential future changes to these programs may have a material impact on the valuation and financial performance of this portion of our portfolio.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management conducted an evaluation (as required under Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We may be involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although we are unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in the opinion of management, any legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2014, except as noted below.
If we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow provided by operations, we will have less cash available for investments and stockholders’ overall return may be reduced.
Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including Offering proceeds, borrowings, sales of assets or we may make distributions in the form of taxable stock dividends. We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds we may use to fund distributions. We have funded our cash distributions paid to date using net proceeds from our Offering and we may do so in the future. Until the proceeds from our Offering are fully invested and otherwise during the course of our existence, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund distributions. For the period from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014, we declared distributions of $7.1 million compared to cash used in operations of $3.4 million. All distributions declared during this period were paid using proceeds from our Offering, including the purchase of additional shares by NorthStar Realty.
Pursuant to a distribution support agreement, in certain circumstances where our cash distributions exceed our MFFO, NorthStar Realty agreed to purchase up to $10.0 million of shares of our common stock at $9.00 per share (which includes the $2.0 million of shares purchased by NorthStar Realty to satisfy the minimum offering amount) to provide additional cash to support distributions to stockholders and has, in fact, purchased 243,107 shares of our common stock as of June 30, 2014. The sale of these shares resulted in the dilution of the ownership interests of our public stockholders. Upon termination or expiration of our Distribution Support Agreement, we may not have sufficient cash available to pay distributions at the rate we had paid during preceding periods or at all. If we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow provided by operations, we will have less cash available for investments, we may have to reduce our distribution rate, our book value may be negatively impacted and stockholders’ overall return may be reduced.
We will be subject to additional risks if we make investments internationally.
We may acquire real estate assets located outside of the United States and we may originate or acquire senior or subordinate loans made to borrowers located outside of the United States or secured by properties located outside of the United States. Our expertise to date is in the United States and neither we nor our Sponsor has expertise in international markets. Any international investments we make may be affected by factors peculiar to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the borrower or the property is located and these laws may expose us to risks that are different from and/or in addition to those commonly found in the United

States. We may not be as familiar with the potential risks to our investments outside of the United States and we may incur losses as a result.

Any international investments we make could be subject to the following risks: governmental laws, rules and policies including laws relating to the foreign ownership of real property or mortgages and laws relating to the ability of foreign persons or corporations to remove profits earned from activities within the country to the person’s or corporation’s country of origin; variations in currency exchange rates; adverse market conditions caused by inflation or other changes in national or local economic conditions; changes in relative interest rates; changes in the availability, cost and terms of borrowings resulting from varying national economic policies; changes in real estate and other tax rates, the tax treatment of transaction structures and other changes in operating expenses in a particular country where we have an investment; imposition of adverse or confiscatory taxes; our REIT tax status not being respected under foreign laws, in which case any income or gains from foreign sources would likely be subject to foreign taxes, withholding taxes, transfer taxes, and value added taxes; lack of uniform accounting standards (including availability of information in accordance with U.S. GAAP); the potential for expropriation; changes in land use and zoning laws; more stringent environmental laws or changes in such laws; changes in the social or political stability or other political, economic or diplomatic developments in or affecting a country where we have an investment; legal and logistical barriers to enforcing our contractual rights in other countries; and possible liability under the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of certain people acting on our behalf or at our request, contrary to our instructions, engaging in practices in violation of such act. Certain of these risks may be greater in emerging markets and less developed countries. Each of these risks might adversely affect our performance and impair our ability to make distributions to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification. In addition, there is less publicly available information about foreign companies and a lack of uniform financial accounting standards and practices (including the availability of information in accordance with U.S. GAAP) which could impair our ability to analyze transactions and receive timely and accurate financial information from tenants or borrowers necessary to meet our reporting obligations to financial institutions or governmental or regulatory agencies.

We adopted our Share Repurchase Program effective August 7, 2012, which may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. We may not repurchase shares unless a stockholder has held shares for one year. However, we may repurchase shares held less than one year in connection with a stockholder’s death or disability, if the disability is deemed qualifying by our board of directors, in their sole discretion, and after receiving written notice from the stockholder or the stockholder’s estate. We are not obligated to repurchase shares under our Share Repurchase Program. We fund repurchase requests received during a quarter with proceeds set aside for that purpose which are not expected to exceed proceeds received from our DRP. However, to the extent that the aggregate DRP proceeds are not sufficient to fund repurchase requests, our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, choose to use other sources of funds. Subject to funds being available, we will limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program to: (i) 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year; and (ii) those that could be funded from the net DRP proceeds in the prior calendar year plus such additional funds as may be reserved for that purpose by our board of directors; provided, however, that the above volume limitations shall not apply to repurchases requested within two years after the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate our Share Repurchase Program at any time upon ten days’ notice except that changes in the number of shares that can be repurchased during any calendar year will take effect only upon ten business days’ prior written notice. In addition, our Share Repurchase Program will terminate in the event a secondary market develops for our shares or until our shares are listed on a national exchange or included for quotation in a national securities market. As of June 30, 2014, we had no unfulfilled repurchase requests.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On June 13, 2014, we granted 2,500 shares of restricted common stock at $9.00 per share to each of our independent directors for an aggregate of 7,500 shares of restricted common stock, pursuant to our independent director compensation plan. These shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving a public offering.
