ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, for a description of all significant accounting policies.

Description of Business

AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”) and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively with AdCare, the “Company” or “we”), owns and operates skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Carolina. The Company, through wholly owned separate operating subsidiaries, as of March 31, 2014, operates 38 facilities comprised of 35 skilled nursing facilities, two assisted living facilities and one independent living/senior housing facility totaling approximately 4,300 beds. The Company’s facilities provide a range of health care services to their patients and residents including, but not limited to, skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term residents and short-stay patients. As of March 31, 2014, of the total 38 facilities, the Company owned and operated 25 facilities, leased and operated nine facilities, and managed four facilities for third parties. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Riverchase Village ADK, LLC ("Riverchase"), our consolidated variable interest entity, entered into a sales listing agreement to sell Riverchase Village, a 105-bed assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama. Riverchase subsequently entered into a purchase sale agreement on April 1, 2014 to sell Riverchase Village (see Note 13 - Variable Interest Entity and Note 16 -Subsequent Events). During the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a representation agreement to sell Companions Specialized Care Center, a 102-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. These two facilities are reported as discontinued operations (see Note 10—Discontinued Operations).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

You should read these consolidated financial statements together with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2014.

The Company operates in one business segment. These statements include the accounts of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries. Controlled subsidiaries include AdCare’s majority owned subsidiaries and one variable interest entity (a "VIE") in which AdCare has control as primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in the consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, contractual allowances for Medicaid, Medicare, and managed care reimbursements, deferred tax valuation allowance, fair value of derivative instruments, fair value of employee and nonemployee stock based awards, fair value estimation methods used to determine the assigned fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions, and valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Reclassifications

Certain items previously reported in the consolidated financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation with no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. These reclassifications did not affect total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity. Reclassifications were made to March 31, 2013 Consolidated Statements of Operations to reflect the same facilities in discontinued operations for both periods presented.

Revenue Recognition and Patient Care Receivables

The Company recognizes revenue when the following four conditions have been met: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company's revenue is derived primarily from providing healthcare services to residents and is recognized on the date services are provided at amounts billable to the individual. For reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, including Medicaid, Medicare and private insurers, revenue is recorded based on contractually agreed-upon amounts on a per patient, daily basis.

Revenue from the Medicaid and Medicare programs accounted for 86.4% and 86.5% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company records revenue from these governmental and managed care programs as services are performed at their expected net realizable amounts under these programs. The Company’s revenue from governmental and managed care programs is subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by governmental and third-party agencies. Consistent with healthcare industry accounting practices, any changes to these governmental revenue estimates are recorded in the period the change or adjustment becomes known based on final settlement. The Company recorded retroactive adjustments to revenue which were not material to the Company's consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Potentially uncollectible patient accounts are provided for on the allowance method based upon management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at period-end and historical experience. Uncollected accounts that are written off are charged against allowance. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, management recorded an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $5.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

Management Fee Receivables and Revenues

Management fee receivables and revenue are recorded in the month that services are provided. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company evaluated collectibility of management fees and determined that no allowance was required.

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1— Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2— Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3— Significant unobservable inputs

The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments of the Company approximates their fair value. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, notes payable and other debt, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values, they are receivable or payable on demand, or the interest rates earned and/or paid approximate current market rates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable

Table of Contents

to the Company. The Company has reviewed the FASB issued ASUs accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods.

In April 2014, the FASB issued an ASU 2014-08 that amends the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This ASU should be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company for the 2015 annual and interim periods. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. We have not adopted this ASU as of March 31, 2014.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the assumed issuance of common shares and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and includes potentially dilutive securities, such as options, warrants, non-vested shares, and additional shares issuable under subordinated convertible promissory notes outstanding during the period when such potentially dilutive securities are not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities from option, warrants and unvested restricted shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Potentially dilutive securities from subordinated convertible promissory notes are calculated based on the assumed issuance at the beginning of the period, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from their assumed issuance. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, potentially dilutive securities of 9.9 million and 12.2 million, respectively, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because including them would have been anti-dilutive in both periods.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss for continuing and discontinued operations and the number of common shares used in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 3. LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY

For the three months ended and as of March 31, 2014, we had a net loss of $2.5 million and negative working capital of $26.0 million. At March 31, 2014, we had $16.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $154.1 million in indebtedness, including current maturities and discontinued operations, of which $49.8 million is current debt (including the Company’s outstanding subordinated convertible promissory notes with a principal amount of $4.0 million that mature in August 2014). Our ability to achieve profitable operations is dependent on continued growth in revenue and controlling costs.

We estimate that cash flow from operations and other working capital changes will be approximately $8.0 million and cash outlays for capital expenditures, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and income taxes will total approximately $5.4 million for the twelve months ending March 31, 2015. We anticipate that scheduled debt service (excluding approximately $6.4 million of bullet maturities due July 2014 and $21.0 million of bullet maturities due in February 2015 that the Company believes will be refinanced on a longer term basis and $4.0 million in outstanding subordinated convertible promissory notes that mature in August 2014, but including principal and interest), will total approximately $16.4 million for the twelve months ending March 31, 2015. We anticipate the conversion to common stock of $4.0 million of the Company's outstanding subordinated convertible promissory notes that mature in August 2014. These promissory notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at $3.73 per share. The closing price of the common stock exceeded $3.73 per share from January 1, 2014 through May 5, 2014. As discussed further below, if we were unable to refinance the $6.4 million of bullet maturities due July 2014 or the $21.0 million of bullet maturities due in February 2015, then the Company may be required to restructure its outstanding indebtedness, implement further cost reduction initiatives, sell assets, as well as delay, modify, or abandon its expansion plans due to our limited liquidity in such an event.

During February and March 2014, the Company issued 693,761 shares of common stock to holders of the Company's warrants dated September 30, 2010 upon conversion at an exercise price of $3.57 per share. The Company received proceeds of approximately $2.3 million, net of broker commissions of approximately $0.1 million. On March 28, 2014, we received net proceeds of approximately $6.3 million from the issuance and sale of the Company's 10% subordinated convertible promissory notes due April 30, 2015. We routinely have ongoing discussions with existing and potential new lenders to refinance current debt on a longer term basis and, in recent periods, have refinanced shorter term acquisition debt, including seller notes, with traditional longer term mortgage notes, some of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs. We have been successful in recent years in raising new equity capital and believe, based on recent discussions, that these markets will continue to be available to us for raising capital in 2014.

Based on existing cash balances, anticipated cash flows for the twelve months ending March 31, 2015, the anticipated refinancing of $6.4 million of bullet maturities due July 2014 and $21.0 million of bullet maturities due February 2015, and the expected conversion of $4.0 million of subordinated convertible promissory notes due August 2014 into shares of common stock, we believe there will be sufficient funds for our operations, scheduled debt service, and capital expenditures at least through the next 12 months. On a longer term basis, at March 31, 2014 we have approximately $43.9 million of debt payments and maturities due between April 2015 and March 2018, excluding subordinated convertible promissory notes which are convertible into shares of common stock. We believe our long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied by these same sources, borrowings as required to refinance indebtedness and new sources of equity capital.

In order to satisfy our capital needs, we will seek to: (i) improve our operating results by increasing facility occupancy, optimizing our payor mix by increasing the proportion of sub-acute patients within our skilled nursing facilities, continuing our cost optimization and efficiency strategies and acquiring additional long-term care facilities with existing operating cash flow; (ii) expand our borrowing arrangements with certain existing lenders; (iii) refinance current debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms; and (iv) raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities. We anticipate that these actions, if successful, will provide the opportunity for us to maintain liquidity on a short and long term basis, thereby permitting us to meet our operating and financing obligations for the next 12 months and provide for the continuance of our acquisition strategy. However, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful or that anticipated operating results will be achieved. We currently have limited borrowing availability under our existing revolving credit facilities. If the Company is unable to improve operating results, expand existing borrowing agreements, refinance current debt (including $6.4 million of bullet maturities due July 2014 and $21.0 million of bullet maturities due February 2015), the subordinated convertible promissory notes due August 2014 are not converted into shares of common stock and are required to be repaid by us in cash, then the Company may be required to restructure its outstanding indebtedness, implement further cost reduction initiatives, sell assets, or delay, modify, or abandon its expansion plans.

Debt Covenant Compliance

As of March 31, 2014, the Company (including its consolidated variable interest entity) has approximately 36 credit related instruments (credit facilities, mortgage notes, bonds and other credit obligations) outstanding that include various financial and administrative covenant requirements.

The Company may prepay at any time, without penalty, upon 60 days prior notice, any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon with respect to any 2014 Note; provided, however, that: (i) the shares of common

Table of Contents

stock issuable upon conversion of any 2014 Note which is to be so prepaid must be: (a) registered for resale under the Securities Act; or (b) otherwise sellable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume limitations thereunder; and (ii) at any time after the issue date of the 2014 Notes, the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for ten consecutive trading days has equaled or exceeded 105% of the then-current conversion price.

In addition, the holders holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount with respect to all the 2014 Notes may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the 2014 Notes upon a change of control at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount to be redeemed plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Furthermore, upon a change of control, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2014 Notes for a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount to be redeemed plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

The total amount financed was approximately $3.3 million requiring monthly payments of $0.3 million with interest ranging from 2.87% to 4.79%. At March 31, 2014, the outstanding amount was approximately $2.9 million.

NOTE 9. ACQUISITIONS

On February 15, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Avalon Health Care, LLC (“Avalon”) to acquire certain land, buildings, improvements, furniture, vehicles, contracts, fixtures and equipment comprising: (i) a 180-bed skilled nursing facility known as Bethany Health and Rehab; and (ii) a 240-bed skilled nursing facility known as Trevecca Health and Rehab, both located in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company deposited $0.4 million of earnest money escrow deposits in February 2013. On June 1, 2013, the Purchase and Sale Agreement was terminated due to the failure of the transaction to close by May 31, 2013. In connection with the termination of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company was seeking the return of $0.4 million previously deposited earnest money escrow deposits. On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement regarding the return of the $0.4 million previously deposited earnest money escrow deposits. Pursuant to the agreement, the previously deposited earnest money escrow deposits were released and distributed, $0.3 million to the Company and $0.1 million to Avalon, respectively, resulting in the expenditure of approximately $0.1 million in acquisition costs during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Acquisition costs are recorded in “Other Income (Expense)” section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no acquisition costs during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

NOTE 10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on the growth of its skilled nursing segment, the Company decided in the fourth quarter of 2011 to exit the home health segment of the business. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company continued this strategy and entered into an agreement to sell six assisted living facilities located in Ohio. The Company also entered into a sublease arrangement in the fourth quarter of 2012 to exit the operations of a skilled nursing facility in Jeffersonville, Georgia.

On June 12, 2013, the Company executed two sublease agreements to exit the skilled nursing business in Tybee Island, Georgia, effective June 30, 2013, relating to two facilities. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Riverchase, our variable interest entity, entered into a sales listing agreement to sell Riverchase Village, the 105-unit assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama, to exit the operations. Riverchase subsequently entered into a purchase sale agreement on April 1, 2014 to sell Riverchase Village (see Note 16 -Subsequent Events). During the first quarter of 2014, the Company executed a representation agreement to sell Companions, a 102-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tulsa, Oklahoma to exit the operations. The results of operations and cash flows for the home health business, the six Ohio assisted living facilities, the Jeffersonville, Georgia skilled nursing facility, the two facilities in Tybee Island, Georgia, the assisted living facility in Hoover, Alabama, and the skilled nursing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma are reported as discontinued operations in 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 11. PREFERRED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock Offerings

On October 28, 2013, the Company sold 500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at $25 per share in a registered public offering. The Company received proceeds from the offering of $11.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering-related expenses of $1.2 million. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock is $25 per share.

Table of Contents

Cumulative dividends accrue and are paid in the amount of $2.72 per share each year, which is equivalent to 10.875% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. The dividend rate may increase under certain circumstances.

On November 7, 2012, the Company sold 450,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock offered at $23 per share in a registered public offering. The Company received proceeds from the offering of $9.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering-related expenses of $1.2 million. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock is $25 per share. Cumulative dividends accrue and are paid in the amount of $2.72 per share each year, which is equivalent to 10.875% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. The dividend rate may increase under certain circumstances.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights but have limited voting rights under certain circumstances. The Company may not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock before December 1, 2017, except the Company is required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock following a "Change of Control," as defined in the Company's Articles of Incorporation. On and after December 1, 2017, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying $25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

The change-in-control provision requires the Series A Preferred Stock to be classified as temporary equity because, although deemed a remote possibility, a purchaser could acquire a majority of the voting power of the outstanding common stock without company approval, thereby triggering redemption. FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, requires classification outside of permanent equity for redeemable instruments for which the redemption triggers are outside of the issuer’s control. The assessment of whether the redemption of an equity security could occur outside of the issuer’s control is required to be made without regard to the probability of the event or events that may result in the instrument becoming redeemable.

NOTE 12. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized stock-based compensation as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Amounts in 000’s)	2014		2013
Employee compensation:
Stock options	$	182	$	154
Employee warrants	41		32

Amortization of prepaid services	11		—
Total non-employee stock-based compensation expense	$	256	$	74
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	513	$	260

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has three equity-based compensation plans: the AdCare Health Systems, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), the 2005 Stock Option Plan of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “2005 Plan”) and the 2004 Stock Option Plan of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “2004 Plan”) which provide for the granting of qualified incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and advisors. The 2011 Plan also permits the granting of restricted stock to employees, directors, consultants and advisors. The awards are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in each individual agreement. The Company intends to use only the 2011 Plan to make future grants. The 2004 Plan expired on March 31, 2014. The number of options under the 2005 Plan outstanding at March 31, 2014 was 25,046. The maximum number of shares of common stock which can be issued under the 2011 Plan is 2,152,500 at March 31, 2014.

The fair value of options and warrants granted by the Company is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividend yield, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the common stock. The term of employee options and

Table of Contents

warrants granted is based on historical exercises of employee options and warrants. The term of non-employee warrants is based on the term of the associated contract. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term as described.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of employee common stock options and warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model are set forth in the following table:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Expected volatility	51.0	%	46.2	%
Expected life (in years)	5.2		6.5
Expected dividend yield	—		—
Risk-free interest rate	1.73	%	1.09	%

The weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $2.00.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of non-employee common stock options and warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model are set forth in the following table:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Expected volatility	51.0	%	n/a
Expected life (in years)	5.0		n/a
Expected dividend yield	—		n/a
Risk-free interest rate	1.74	%	n/a

The weighted-average grant date fair value for warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $1.79.

Non-employee Common Stock Warrants

The Company grants common stock warrants in connection with equity share purchases by investors as an additional incentive for providing long-term equity capital to the Company and as additional compensation to consultants and advisors. The warrants are granted at negotiated prices in connection with the equity share purchases and at the market price of the common stock in other instances. The warrants have been issued for terms between two and ten years.

On March 28, 2014, the Company issued to the placement agents in the Company’s offering of the 2014 Notes, as partial compensation for serving as placement agents in such offering, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 48,889 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants were issued, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be issued, without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company based such reliance upon representations made by the placement agents to the Company regarding lack of general solicitation and the placement agents’ investment intent, sophistication and status as an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D, among other things.

NOTE 13. . VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

As further described in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has certain variable interest entities that are required to be consolidated because AdCare has control as primary beneficiary. A “primary beneficiary” is the party in a VIE that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

On June 22, 2013, the Company and Riverchase, an entity which is owned and controlled by Christopher Brogdon (the Company’s Vice Chairman and a greater than 5% beneficial owner of the common stock) and which is our variable interest entity, agreed to mutually terminate the five-year year management agreement, dated June 22, 2010. Riverchase owns Riverchase Village, a 105-bed assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama. Pursuant to the management agreement, a subsidiary of the Company supervised the management of the Riverchase Village facility for a monthly fee equal to 5% of the monthly gross revenues of the Riverchase Village facility.

Table of Contents

On June 22, 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Mr. Brogdon amended that certain Option Agreement, dated June 22, 2010 (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has the exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire (the “Riverchase Option”) from Mr. Brogdon all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Riverchase, which owns the Riverchase Village facility. The amendment extended the Riverchase Option from June 22, 2013 to June 22, 2014.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, Riverchase entered into a sales listing agreement to sell Riverchase Village, a 105-bed assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama. Riverchase subsequently entered into a purchase sale agreement on April 1, 2014 (see Note 16 - Subsequent Events).

On March 3, 2014, AdCare and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a letter agreement, dated as of February 28, 2014, with Mr. Brogdon and entities controlled by Mr. Brogdon, which amends the Option Agreement to: (i) extend the Riverchase Option until June 22, 2015; and (ii) reduce the purchase price for the exercise of the Riverchase Option to $1.00. Furthermore, the letter agreement provides that, upon the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility to an arms-length third party purchaser, regardless of whether the Company has exercised the Riverchase Option, the net sales proceeds from such sale shall be distributed as follows: (a) one-half of the net sales proceeds shall be paid to the Company; (b) the remaining net sales proceeds shall be paid to the Company to satisfy the outstanding principal balance and interest (if any) then due under a promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $523,663, with such payment to be applied in the order of scheduled amortization under the note; and (c) the balance of net sales proceeds shall be paid to the Company.

The following summarizes the assets and liabilities of the variable interest entity included in the consolidated balance sheets:



(Amounts in 000’s)	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Cash	$	(47	)	$	11

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory Matters

Laws and regulations governing Federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from certain governmental programs. The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from Medicaid and Medicare, for which reimbursement rates are subject to regulatory changes and government funding restrictions. Any significant future change to reimbursement rates could have a material effect on the Company’s operations.

Operating Leases

The Company leases certain office space and nine skilled nursing facilities under non-cancelable operating leases, most of which have initial lease terms of ten to twelve years with rent escalation clauses and provisions for payments by the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Facility rent expense totaled $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Table of Contents

Five of the Company’s facilities are operated under a single master lease arrangement. The lease has a term of ten years into 2020. Under the master lease, a breach at a single facility could subject one or more of the other facilities covered by the same master lease to the same default risk. Failure to comply with regulations or governmental authorities, such as Medicare and Medicaid provider requirements, is a default under the Company’s master lease agreement. In addition, other potential defaults related to an individual facility may cause a default of the entire master lease agreement. With an indivisible lease, it is difficult to restructure the composition of the portfolio or economic terms of the lease without the consent of the landlord. The Company is not aware of any defaults and is in compliance as of March 31, 2014.

Two of the Company’s facilities are operated under a separate lease agreement. The lease is a single indivisible lease; therefore, a breach at a single facility could subject the second facility to the same default risk. The lease has a term of 12 years into 2022 and includes covenants and restrictions. A commitment is included that requires minimum capital expenditures of $375 per licensed bed per lease year at each facility which amounts to $0.1 million per year for both facilities. As of March 31, 2014, the Company is in compliance with all financial and administrative covenants of this lease agreement.

Legal Matters

The skilled nursing business involves a significant risk of liability due to the age and health of the Company’s patients and residents and the services the Company provides. The Company and others in the industry are subject to an increasing number of claims and lawsuits, including professional liability claims, which may allege that services have resulted in personal injury, elder abuse, wrongful death or other related claims. The defense of these lawsuits may result in significant legal costs, regardless of the outcome, and can result in large settlement amounts or damage awards.

In addition to the potential lawsuits and claims described above, the Company is also subject to potential lawsuits under the Federal False Claims Act and comparable state laws alleging submission of fraudulent claims for services to any healthcare program (such as Medicare) or payer. A violation may provide the basis for exclusion from federally funded healthcare programs. As of March 31, 2014, the Company does not have any material loss contingencies recorded or requiring disclosure based upon the evaluation of the probability of loss from known claims, except as disclosed below.

On June 24, 2013, South Star Services, Inc. (“SSSI”), Troy Clanton and Rose Rabon (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the District Court of Oklahoma County, State of Oklahoma against: (i) AdCare, certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries and AdCare’s Chief Executive Officer (collectively, the “AdCare Defendants”); (ii) Christopher Brogdon (Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, owner of greater than 5% of the outstanding commons stock and former Chief Acquisition Officer of the Company) and his wife; and (iii) five entities controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Brogdon, which entities own five skilled-nursing facilities located in Oklahoma (the “Oklahoma Owners”) that were previously managed by an AdCare subsidiary (the "Oklahoma Facilities". The complaint alleges, with respect to the AdCare Defendants, that: (i) the AdCare Defendants tortuously interfered with contractual relations between the Plaintiffs and Mr. Brogdon, and with Plaintiffs’ prospective economic advantage, relating to SSSI’s right to manage the Oklahoma Facilities and seven other skilled-nursing facilities located in Oklahoma (collectively, the “Facilities”), respectively; (ii) the AdCare Defendants fraudulently induced the Plaintiffs to perform work and incur expenses with respect to the Facilities; and (iii) one of the AdCare subsidiaries which is an AdCare Defendant provided false and defamatory information to an Oklahoma regulatory authority regarding SSSI’s management of one of the Oklahoma Facilities. The complaint seeks damages against the AdCare Defendants, including punitive damages, in an unspecified amount, as well as costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees. On March 7, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in which they alleged additional facts regarding the alleged fraudulent inducement caused by Mr. and Mrs. Brogdon and the AdCare Defendants. On April 4, 2014, the Company responded to the amended complaint and filed a motion to dismiss the case and is waiting on a decision by the court. The trial is scheduled to begin in January 2015. The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims set forth therein.

On October 2, 2013, the Company responded to certain letters received from Georgia Department of Community Health ("GDCH") in September 2013 requesting payment of past due provider fees totaling $1.2 million for certain nursing facilities for periods prior to the Company's operation of the facilities. The Company does not believe it is responsible for payment of these past due provider fees and has requested a final determination from GDCH confirming that it is not responsible for paying the fees described in the letters.

On March 7, 2014, the Company responded to a letter received from the Ohio Attorney General ("OAG") dated February 25, 2014 demanding repayment of approximately $1.0 million as settlement for alleged improper Medicaid payments related to seven Ohio facilities affiliated with the Company. The OAG alleged that the Company had submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws. The Company intends to defend itself against the claims. The Company has not recorded a liability for this matter because the liability, if any, and outcome can not be determined at this time.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2014, the Company is owed approximately $1.1 million from a prior owner of a certain 118-bed skilled nursing facility located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and has submitted the matter to a commercial arbitrator in order to resolve the issue. The Company has not recorded a reserve against this receivable because the Company believes the amount will be collected.

Income Tax Examination

In early 2014, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") initiated an examination of the Company's income tax return for the 2011 income tax year. To date, the IRS has not proposed any adjustments. The Company is not currently under examination by any other major income tax jurisdiction.

Fox, entered into a Subscription Agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company issued $1.0 million in principal amount of the 2014 Convertible Notes (for further discussion see Note 8 - Notes Payable and Other Debt). Mr. Fox is a director of Park City Offshore and a director of the Company and beneficial owner of greater than 5% of the outstanding common stock. The 2014 Convertible Note was offered to and sold to Park City Offshore on the same terms and conditions as all other buyers in the offering.

NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the SEC. The following is a summary of the material subsequent events.

Purchase Agreement - Riverchase

On April 1, 2014, Riverchase, the Company's consolidated variable interest entity, entered into a purchase agreement to sell the Riverchase Village facility to an independent third party, subject to certain closing conditions.

Consulting Agreement

On May 6, 2014, the Company and Mr. Brogdon (the Company’s Vice chairman and greater than 5% beneficial owner of the common stock) entered into an Amendment to Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement Amendment”), which amends that certain Consulting Agreement, dated December 31, 2012, between the Company and Mr. Brogdon (the “Consulting Agreement”), to restructure and reduce amounts payable to Mr. Brogdon thereunder. As a result of the Consulting Agreement Amendment:


•	Mr. Brogdon will no longer receive a monthly retainer ($15,000 in 2014, originally scheduled to increase to $20,000 in 2015) but instead will receive an aggregate consulting fee equal to $400,000 (the “Consulting Fee”), payable as described below.


•	The success fee Mr. Brogdon is entitled to receive for each potential acquisition identified by Mr. Brogdon which the Company completes will increase from $20,000 to $25,000 (the “Success Fee”); provided, however, that the Success Fee shall not exceed $160,000 in any calendar year without a majority vote of the Board of Directors.

•

The fee originally payable to Mr. Brogdon upon termination of the Consulting Agreement without cause (approximately $550,000 for such termination prior to a change of control and approximately $1.1 million for such termination within six months after a change of control) has been eliminated. Instead, Mr. Brogdon will receive a fee of $500,000 if a change of control occurs on or before May 1, 2015 (the “Change of Control Fee”) and the Consulting Agreement has not been earlier terminated. If a change of control occurs after May 1, 2015, no Change of Control Fee is payable.


•	The Consulting Agreement will terminate immediately upon a change of control and the unpaid portion of the Consulting Fee, any accrued and unpaid Success Fee and the Change of Control Fee (if applicable) will be paid to Mr. Brogdon upon the closing of the change of control.


•	The Consulting Agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by either party for cause (subject to a cure period) or by Mr. Brogdon without cause.

Table of Contents

The Consulting Fee is payable by the Company to Mr. Brogdon as follows: (x) a one-time payment of $100,000 on May 6, 2014; and (y) monthly payments of $15,000 commencing on June 1, 2014 and continuing each month thereafter until the Consulting Fee is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Riverchase Village facility (which is owned by an entity which is owned and controlled by Mr. Brogdon) is sold prior to September 1, 2014, then the amount of the unpaid Consulting Fee will be reduced by (and offset against) the aggregate principal balance owed by Mr. Brogdon to the Company (the “outstanding balance”) under the promissory note executed by Mr. Brogdon in favor of the Company with an original principal amount of $523,663, with any remaining balance of the Consulting Fee owed to Mr. Brogdon to be paid in cash at closing. The “outstanding balance” will be determined after the application of the net sales proceeds from the sale of the Riverchase Village facility pursuant to the terms of the agreement between AdCare, certain of its subsidiaries, Mr. Brogdon and certain entities controlled by him, dated as of February 28, 2014.

If the sale of the Riverchase Village facility is not completed prior to September 1, 2014, then balance of the Consulting Fee owed to Mr. Brogdon by the Company will be offset against the remaining amount owed by Mr. Brogdon to the Company under the promissory note.

Termination of Sublease

On May 6, 2014, ADK Administrative Property, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“ADK Admin”), and Winter Haven Homes, Inc. (“Winter Haven”), an entity controlled by Mr. Brogdon, entered into a Sublease Termination Agreement, pursuant to which ADK Admin and Winter Haven will terminate, effective as of May 31, 2014, that certain Sublease Agreement between them dated as of May 1, 2011. Pursuant to the Sublease Agreement, ADK Admin subleases from Winter Haven certain office space located at Two Buckhead Plaza, Atlanta, Georgia, with rent of approximately $5,000 payable monthly through November 2018. The Sublease Termination Agreement terminates, as of May 31, 2014, all obligations of ADK Admin under the Sublease Agreement, including all obligations to pay rent. Winter Haven agreed to the termination of the Sublease Agreement in consideration for a portion of the amounts payable to Mr. Brogdon pursuant to the Consulting Agreement Amendment.

For a further description of the Company’s relationship with Mr. Brogdon, see the information set forth in: (i) the section entitled “Note to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 19. Related Party Transactions” and “Note to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 20.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”) and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively with AdCare, the “Company” or “we”), own and operate skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Carolina. The Company, through wholly owned separate operating subsidiaries, as of March 31, 2014, operates 38 facilities comprised of 35 skilled nursing facilities, two assisted living facilities and one independent living/senior housing facility totaling approximately 4,300 beds. The Company’s facilities provide a range of health care services to their patients and residents including, but not limited to, skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term residents and short-stay patients. As of March 31, 2014, of the total 38 facilities, the Company owned and operated 25 facilities, leased and operated nine facilities, and managed four facilities for third parties. As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on the growth of its skilled nursing segment, the Company decided in the fourth quarter of 2011 to exit the home health segment of the business. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company continued this strategy and entered into an agreement to sell six assisted living facilities located in Ohio. The Company also entered into a sublease arrangement in the fourth quarter of 2012 to exit the operations of a skilled nursing facility in Jeffersonville, Georgia. On June 12, 2013, the Company executed two sublease agreements to exit the skilled nursing business in Tybee Island, Georgia effective June 30, 2013 relating to two facilities. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Riverchase Village ADK, LLC ("Riverchase"), our consolidated variable interest entity, entered into a sales listing agreement to sell Riverchase Village, a 105-bed assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama. Riverchase subsequently entered into a purchase sale agreement on April 1, 2014 (see Note 13 - Variable Interest Entity and Note 16 - Subsequent Events). During the first quarter of 2014, the Company executed a representation agreement to sell Companions Specialized Care Center ("Companions"), a 102-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tulsa, Oklahoma to exit the operations. The home health business, the six Ohio assisted living facilities, the Jeffersonville, Georgia skilled nursing facility, the two facilities in Tybee Island, Georgia, the assisted living facility in Hoover, Alabama, and the skilled nursing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma are reported as discontinued operations (see Note 10 - Discontinued Operations).

The Company owns and manages skilled nursing facilities (“SNF”) and assisted living facilities. The Company delivers skilled nursing and assisted living services through wholly owned separate operating subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company discontinued management services on eight facilities, bringing our Company’s total bed count to 4,253 at March 31, 2014. The following tables provide summary information regarding our facility composition.

Liquidity

We estimate that cash flow from operations and other working capital changes will be approximately $8.0 million and cash outlays for capital expenditures, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and income taxes will total approximately $5.4 million for the twelve months ending March 31, 2015. We anticipate that scheduled debt service (excluding approximately $6.4 million of bullet maturities due July 2014 and $21.0 million of bullet maturities due in February 2015 that the Company believes will be refinanced on a longer term basis and $4.0 million in outstanding subordinated convertible promissory notes that mature in August 2014, but including principal and interest), will total approximately $16.4 million for the twelve months ending March 31, 2015. We anticipate the conversion to common stock of $4.0 million of the Company's outstanding subordinated convertible promissory notes that mature in August 2014. These promissory notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at $3.73 per share. The closing price of the common stock exceeded $3.73 per share from January 1, 2014 through May5, 2014. As discussed further below, if we were unable to refinance the $6.4 million of bullet maturities due July 2014 or the $21.0 million of bullet maturities due in February 2015, then the Company may be required to restructure its outstanding indebtedness, implement further cost reduction initiatives, sell assets, as well as delay, modify, or abandon its expansion plans due to our limited liquidity in such an event.

Acquisitions

The Company has embarked on a strategy to grow its business through acquisitions and leases of senior care facilities and businesses providing services to those facilities.

On February 15, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Avalon Health Care, LLC to acquire certain land, buildings, improvements, furniture, vehicles, contracts, fixtures and equipment comprising: (i) a 180-bed skilled nursing facility known as Bethany Health and Rehab; and (ii) a 240-bed skilled nursing facility known as Trevecca Health and Rehab, both located in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company deposited $0.4 million of earnest money escrow deposits in February 2013. On June 1, 2013, the Purchase and Sale Agreement was terminated due to the failure of the transaction to close by May 31, 2013. In connection with the termination of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company is seeking the return of $0.4 million previously deposited earnest money escrow deposits. On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement regarding the return of the $0.4 million previously deposited earnest money escrow deposits. Pursuant to the agreement, the previously deposited earnest money escrow deposits were released and distributed, $0.3 million to the Company and $0.1 million to Avalon, respectively.

The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. There were no acquisitions costs during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Acquisition costs are recorded in “Other Income (Expense)” section of the consolidated statements of operations.

Divestitures

On June 12, 2013, the Company executed two sublease agreements to exit the skilled nursing business in Tybee Island, Georgia effective June 30, 2013 relating to two facilities. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Riverchase, our consolidated variable interest entity, entered into a sales listing agreement to sell Riverchase Village, a 105-bed assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama. Riverchase subsequently entered into a purchase sale agreement on April 1, 2014 (see Note 16 -Subsequent Events). During the first quarter of 2014, the Company executed a representation agreement to sell Companions, a 102-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tulsa, Oklahoma to exit the operations. The results of operations and cash flows for the home health business, the six Ohio assisted living facilities, the Jeffersonville, Georgia skilled nursing facility, the two facilities in Tybee Island, Georgia, the assisted living facility in Hoover, Alabama, and the skilled nursing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma are reported as discontinued operations in 2014 and 2013.

On February 28, 2013, the Company completed the sale of the facility known as Lincoln Lodge Retirement Residence and used the proceeds to pay the principal balance of the HUD mortgage note with respect to the facility of $1.9 million. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $0.1 million and cash proceeds, net of costs and debt payoff, of $0.6 million.

The following table summarizes the activity of Discontinued Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Primary Performance Indicators

The Company owns and manages skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities, and delivers its services through wholly owned separate operating subsidiaries.

The Company focuses on two primary indicators in evaluating its financial performance. Those indicators are facility occupancy and patient mix. Facility occupancy is critical, since higher occupancy generally leads to higher revenues. In addition, concentrating on increasing the number of Medicare covered admissions (“the patient mix”) helps in increasing revenues. The Company includes commercial insurance covered admissions that are reimbursed at the same level as those covered by Medicare in the Company’s Medicare utilization percentages and analysis. The Company also evaluates “Same Facilities” and “Recently Acquired Facilities” results. Same Facilities represent those owned and leased facilities the Company began to operate prior to January 1, 2013. Recently Acquired Facilities results represents those owned and leased facilities the Company began to operate subsequent to January 1, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, all facilities are considered to be Same Facilities.

Patient mix at the Company’s skilled nursing facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:



	Patient Mix (SNF only)
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Medicare	15.4	%	16.4	%
Medicaid	71.0	%	70.2	%
Other	13.6	%	13.4	%
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

Medicare reimburses our skilled nursing facilities under a prospective payment system (“PPS”) for certain inpatient covered services. Under the PPS, facilities are paid a predetermined amount per patient, per day, based on the anticipated costs of treating patients. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into a resource utilization group (“RUG”) category that is based upon each patient’s acuity level. In October 2010, the number of RUG categories was expanded from 53 to 66 as part of the implementation of the RUGs IV system and the introduction of a revised and substantially expanded patient assessment tool called the Minimum Data Set, version 3.0.

On July 29, 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a final rule providing for, among other things, a net 11.1% reduction in PPS payments to skilled nursing facilities for CMS’s fiscal year 2012 (which began October 1, 2011) as compared to PPS payments in CMS’s fiscal year 2011 (which ended September 30, 2011). The 11.1% reduction is on a net basis, after the application of a 2.7% market basket increase, and reduced by a 1.0% multi-factor productivity adjustment required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (“PPACA”). The final CMS rule also adjusted the method by which group therapy is counted for reimbursement purposes, and changed the timing in which patients who are receiving therapy must be reassessed for purposes of determining their RUG category.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 was signed into law on February 22, 2012, extended the Medicare Part B outpatient therapy cap exceptions process through December 31, 2012. The statutory Medicare Part B outpatient therapy cap for occupational therapy (“OT”) was $1,880 for 2012, and the combined cap for physical therapy (“PT”) and speech-language pathology services (“SLP”) was also $1,880 for 2012. This is the annual per beneficiary therapy cap amount determined for each calendar year. Similar to the therapy cap, Congress established a threshold of $3,700 for PT and SLP services combined and another threshold of $3,700 for OT services. All therapy services rendered above the $3,700 amount are subject to manual medical review and may be denied unless pre-approved by the provider’s Medicare Administrative Contractor. The law requires an exceptions process to the therapy cap that allows providers to receive payment from Medicare for medically necessary therapy services above the therapy cap amount. Beginning October 1, 2012, some therapy providers may submit requests for exceptions (pre-approval for up to 20 therapy treatment days for beneficiaries at or above the $3,700 threshold) to avoid denial of claims for services above the threshold amount. The $3,700 figure is the defined threshold that triggers the provision for an exception request. Prior to October 1, 2012, there was no provision for an exception request when the threshold was exceeded.

On July 27, 2012, CMS issued a final rule providing for, among other things, a net 1.8% increase in PPS payments to skilled nursing facilities for CMS’s fiscal year 2013 (which began on October 1, 2012) as compared to PPS payments to skilled nursing facilities in CMS’s fiscal year 2012 (which ended September 30, 2012). The 1.8% increase was on a net basis, reflecting

Table of Contents

the application of a 2.5% market basket increase, less a 0.7% multi-factor productivity adjustment mandated by PPACA. This increase is offset by the 2% sequestration reduction, discussed below, which became effective April 1, 2013.

On January 1, 2013 the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the “ATRA”) extended the therapy cap exception process for one year. The ATRA also made additional changes to the Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction previously implemented in 2010. The existing discount to multiple therapy procedures performed in an outpatient environment during a single day was 25%. Effective April 1, 2013, ATRA increased the discount rate by an additional 25% to 50%. The ATRA additionally delayed the sequestration reductions of 2% to all Medicare payments until April 1, 2013.

On July 31, 2013, CMS issued its final rule outlining fiscal year 2014 Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities. CMS estimates that aggregate payments to skilled nursing facilities will increase by $470 million, or 1.3% for fiscal year 2014, relative to payments in 2013. This estimated increase is attributable to a 2.3% market basket increase, reduced by the 0.5% forecast error correction and further reduced by the 0.5% multi-factor productivity adjustment as required by PPACA. The forecast error correction is applied when the difference between the actual and projected market basket percentage change for the most recent available fiscal year exceeds the 0.5% threshold. For fiscal year 2012 (most recent available fiscal year), the projected market basket percentage change exceeds the actual market basket percentage change by 0.51%. The 2014 Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities were effective on October 1, 2013.

On May 1, 2014, CMS issued a proposed rule outlining proposed fiscal year 2015 (which begins October 1, 2014) Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities. Based on proposed changes contained within this rule, CMS projects that aggregate payments to skilled nursing facilities will increase by $750 million, or 2.0%, from payments in fiscal year 2014 (which began October 1, 2013), which represents a higher update factor than the 1.3% update finalized for skilled nursing facilities in fiscal year 2014. This estimated increase is attributable to 2.4% market basket increase, reduced by the 0.4 percentage point multifactor productivity adjustment required by law.

Should future changes in PPS include further reduced rates or increased standards for reaching certain reimbursement levels (including as a result of automatic cuts tied to federal deficit cut efforts or otherwise), our Medicare revenues derived from our skilled nursing facilities) could be reduced, with a corresponding adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operation.

We also derive a substantial portion of our consolidated revenue from Medicaid reimbursement, primarily through our skilled nursing business. Medicaid programs are administered by the applicable states and financed by both state and federal funds. Medicaid spending nationally has increased significantly in recent years, becoming an increasingly significant component of state budgets. This, combined with slower state revenue growth and other state budget demands, has led both the Federal government to institute measures aimed at controlling the growth of Medicaid spending and, in some instances, reducing it.

Historically, adjustments to reimbursement under Medicare and Medicaid have had a significant effect on our revenue and results of operations. Recently enacted, pending and proposed legislation and administrative rulemaking at the federal and state levels could have similar effects on our business. Efforts to impose reduced reimbursement rates, greater discounts and more stringent cost controls by government and other payors are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, any delay or default by the Federal or state governments in making Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement payments could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company prepares financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases estimates on historical experience, business knowledge and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates. These estimates are evaluated by management and revised as circumstances change.

There have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2014 to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and use of estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Patient Care Revenues—Total patient care revenues increased by $0.3 million, or 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared with the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to a slight increase in the skilled facility occupancy rate from 77.0% to 77.4%, an increase in the skilled facility average Medicare reimbursement rate per patient day from $441.07 to $453.82, or 2.9%, partially offset by the decrease in the skilled patient mix percentage from 16.4% to 15.4%, and a decrease in the skilled facility average Medicaid reimbursement rates per patient day from $162.30 to $161.12, or (0.7)%.

Management Revenues—Management revenues (net of eliminations) was approximately $0.5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013,.

Cost of Services—Cost of services decreased by $0.6 million, or 1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease of approximately $0.3 million in employee benefits expense and approximately $0.4 million in bad debt expense offset by an increase of approximately $0.1 million for regulatory expenses. Cost of services as a percentage of patient care revenue decreased from 84.9% at March 31, 2013 to 83.5% at March 31, 2014. The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of patient care revenue is primarily due to the progress the Company has made in its cost reduction optimization strategy in the operations of the facilities.

General and Administrative—General and administrative costs decreased by $0.3 million to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $4.9 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease is primarily due to the following: (i) decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits expense of approximately $0.2 million; (ii) decrease of approximately $0.1 million in accounting and auditing expense; (iii) decrease of approximately $0.1 million in contract services expense; (iii) decrease of approximately $0.1 million in repair and maintenance expense, partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.2 million in non-employee stock compensation amortization expense. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs declined to 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with 9.0% for the same period in 2013, reflecting increased leverage of the Company’s fixed costs over the scale of expanding operations from acquisitions.

Audit Committee Investigation Expense—As previously disclosed, the Audit Committee, in consultation with management, concluded in 2013 that: (i) the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012 (the “Relevant Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon due to errors in the Relevant Financial Statements identified in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012; and (ii) the Company would restate the Relevant Financial Statements. The Audit Committee initiated a further review of, and inquiry with respect to, the accounting and financial issues related to these and other potential errors and engaged counsel to assist the Audit Committee with such matters. The Audit Committee completed its inquiry and, in connection therewith, assisted in the correction of certain errors relating to accounting and financial matters and identified certain material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including weakness in the Company’s ability to appropriately account for complex or non-routine transactions and in the quality and sufficiency of the Company’s finance and accounting resources. On July 8, 2013, the Company restated the Relevant Financial Statements by filing with the SEC amendments to its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012.

In connection with the restatement process and the Audit Committee’s review and inquiry during 2013, the Company incurred significant professional services costs and other expenses which have been recognized as a special charge totaling approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Facility Rent Expense—Facility rent expense was approximately $1.7 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization—Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $0.1 million to $1.8 million, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2013. During March 2014, we recognized an impairment charge of $0.1 million to write down the carrying value of a certain 102-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We compared the estimated fair value of the assets to their carrying value and recorded an impairment charge for the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value.

Interest Expense, net—Interest expense, net decreased by $0.5 million, or 17%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $3.2 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease is primarily due to the holders of the Company's subordinated convertible promissory notes due August 2014 conversion of approximately $4.8 million of principal and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under such notes into shares of common stock and the repayment of the outstanding bonds on March 3, 2014 at par plus accrued interest in the amount of $3.1 million from funds that were previously deposited into a restricted defeased bonds escrow account.

Acquisition Costs, net of Gains—The Company did not incur an expense for acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of limited acquisition activity. This was a decrease of $0.1 million, compared with the same period in 2013.

Derivative Gain —For the three months ended March 31, 2014, there was no derivative gain compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The derivative is a product of a convertible debt instrument entered into during the third quarter of 2010. The expense associated with the derivative is subject to volatility based on a number of factors including increases or decreases in our stock price. Increases in our stock price generally result in increases in expense. Conversely, a decrease in our stock price generally results in the recognition of a gain in our statements of operations. The expense or gain recognized in a period is based on the fair value of the derivative instrument at the end of the year in comparison to the beginning of the year. The Company amended the debt instruments in October 2013 to eliminate the derivative feature, among other items. Consequently, the fair value of the derivative instrument was eliminated as of October 2013.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt — The Company recognized a $0.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period in 2013 due to the difference between the conversion price and the market price on the date the subordinated convertible promissory notes were converted into shares of common stock.

Income Tax Expense—The Company recognized an income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014, of $0.01 million, compared with an income tax expense of $0.1 million for the same period in 2013. Income tax expense for the Company is related to state and local taxes.

Debt Covenant Compliance

As of March 31, 2014, the Company (including its consolidated variable interest entity) has approximately 36 credit related instruments (credit facilities, mortgage notes, bonds and other credit obligations) outstanding that include various financial and administrative covenant requirements. Covenant requirements include, but are not limited to, fixed charge coverage ratios, debt service coverage ratios, minimum EBITDA or EBITDAR, current ratios and tangible net worth requirements. Certain financial covenant requirements are based on consolidated financial measurements whereas others are based on measurements at the subsidiary level (i.e.; facility, multiple facilities or a combination of subsidiaries comprising less than the Company’s consolidated financial measurements). Some covenants are based on annual financial metric measurements whereas others are based on monthly or quarterly financial metric measurements. The Company routinely tracks and monitors its compliance with its covenant requirements. In recent periods, including as of March 31, 2014, the Company has not been in compliance with certain financial and administrative covenants. For each instance of such non-compliance, the Company has obtained waivers or amendments to such requirements including as necessary modifications to future covenant requirements or the elimination of certain requirements in future periods.

The following table includes financial covenant requirements as of the last measurement date as of or prior to March 31, 2014 in instances where the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenant or it achieved compliance with the covenant requirement by a margin of 10% or less. The table also identifies the related credit facility, outstanding balance at March 31, 2014 and the next applicable future financial covenant requirement inclusive of adjustments to covenant requirements resulting from amendments executed subsequent to March 31, 2014.

The 2014 Note was offered to and sold to Park City Offshore on the same terms and conditions as all other buyers in the offering.

Other Debt

Receivables

The Company’s operations could be adversely affected if we experience significant delays in reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party revenue sources. The Company’s future liquidity will continue to be dependent upon the relative amounts of current assets (principally cash and patient accounts receivable) and current liabilities (principally accounts payable and accrued expenses). In that regard, accounts receivable can have a significant impact on our liquidity. Continued efforts by governmental and third-party payors to contain or reduce the acceleration of costs by monitoring reimbursement rates, by increasing medical review of bills for services, or by negotiating reduced contract rates, as well as any delay by the staff at our facilities in the processing of our invoices, could adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.

Accounts receivable attributable to patient services of continuing operations totaled $28.5 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $26.3 million at December 31, 2013, representing approximately 44 and 41 days of revenue in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The allowance for bad debt was $5.4 million and $5.0 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of its bad debt reserves based on patient mix trends, aging of older balances, payment terms and delays with regard to third-party payors, as well as other factors. The Company continues to evaluate and implement additional processes to strengthen our collection efforts and reduce the incidence of uncollectible accounts.

Inflation

The Company has historically derived a substantial portion of our revenue from the Medicare program. The Company also derives revenue from state Medicaid and similar reimbursement programs. Payments under these programs generally provide for reimbursement levels that are adjusted for inflation annually based upon the state’s fiscal year for the Medicaid programs and in each October for the Medicare program. These adjustments may not continue in the future, and even if received, such adjustments may not reflect the actual increase in our costs for providing healthcare services.

Labor and supply expenses make up a substantial portion of our cost of services. Those expenses can be subject to increase in periods of rising inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. To date, the Company has generally been able to implement cost control measures or obtain increases in reimbursement sufficient to offset increases in these expenses. The Company may not be successful in offsetting future cost increases.

Table of Contents

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were $2.8 million of outstanding letters of credit at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 that are pledged as collateral of borrowing capacity on the Loan and Security Agreement with The PrivateBank (the "PrivateBank Credit Facility"). The PrivateBank Credit Facility provides a $10.6 million senior secured revolving credit facility for through September 20, 2015 with the borrowings thereunder subject to a borrowing base and offset by the outstanding letters of credit.

Contractual Obligations - Operating Leases

The Company leases certain office space and nine skilled nursing facilities under non-cancelable operating leases, most of which have initial lease terms of ten to twelve years with rent escalation clauses and provisions for payments by the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, facility rent expense totaled $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Five of the Company’s facilities are operated under a single master lease arrangement. The lease has a term of ten years terminating in 2020. Under the master lease, a breach at a single facility could subject one or more of the other facilities covered by the same master lease to the same default risk. Failure to comply with regulations or governmental authorities, such as Medicare and Medicaid provider requirements, is a default under the Company’s master lease agreement. In addition, other potential defaults related to an individual facility may cause a default of the entire master lease agreement. With an indivisible lease, it is difficult to restructure the composition of the portfolio or economic terms of the lease without the consent of the landlord. The Company is not aware of any defaults as of March 31, 2014.

Two of the Company’s facilities are operated under a separate lease agreement. The lease is a single indivisible lease; therefore, a breach at a single facility could subject the second facility to the same default risk. The lease has a term of 12 years into 2022 and includes covenants and restrictions. A covenant is included that requires minimum capital expenditures of $375 per licensed bed per lease year at each facility which amounts to $0.1 million per year for both facilities. The Company has been in compliance with financial and administrative covenants of this lease agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations

Due to the material amount of non-cash related items included in the Company’s results of operations, the Company has developed an Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations”) metric which provides management with a clearer view of operational use of cash (see the table below). The Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $3.7 million compared $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company has also developed an Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Rent (“Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations”) metric that is used primarily in some debt covenants of the Company’s loans.

“Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations” and “Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations” are measures of operating performance that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company defines: (i) “Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations” as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense; depreciation and amortization (including amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation), acquisition costs (net of gains), loss on extinguishment of debt, derivative loss or gain, other non-routine adjustments; and (ii) “Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations” as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense; income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (including amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation), acquisition costs (net of gains), loss on extinguishment of debt, derivative loss, rent, other non-routine adjustments. The Company has provided below supplemental financial disclosure for these measures, including the most directly comparable GAAP measure (Net Loss) and an associated reconciliation.

The following table provides reconciliation of reported Net Loss on a GAAP basis to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and EBITDAR from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations	$	5,435		$	4,005

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations or cash flows provided by, or used in, operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDAR from continuing operations are used by management to focus on operating performance and management without mixing in items of income and expense that relate to the financing and capitalization of the business, fixed rent or lease payments of facilities, derivative loss or gain, certain acquisition related charges and other non-routine adjustments.

The Company believes these measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance, results of operations and financial position for the following reasons:


•	They are helpful in identifying trends in the Company’s day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance to the Company’s day-to-day operations;


•	They provide an assessment of controllable expenses and afford management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance; and


•	They provide data that assists management determine whether or not adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.

AdCare believes that the use of the measures provides a meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company’s underlying business between periods by eliminating certain items required by GAAP, which have little or no significance in the Company’s day-to-day operations.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and are subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that our services have resulted in injury or death to the residents of our facilities and claims related to employment, staffing requirements and commercial matters. Although we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these matters, there is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We operate in an industry that is extremely regulated. As such, in the ordinary course of business, we are continuously subject to state and federal regulatory scrutiny, supervision and control. Such regulatory scrutiny often includes inquiries, investigations, examinations, audits, site visits and surveys, some of which are non-routine. In addition, we believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of long-term care providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Adverse determinations in legal proceedings or governmental investigations against or involving us, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

On June 24, 2013, South Star Services, Inc. (“SSSI”), Troy Clanton and Rose Rabon (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the District Court of Oklahoma County, State of Oklahoma against: (i) AdCare, certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries and AdCare’s Chief Executive Officer (collectively, the “AdCare Defendants”); (ii) Christopher Brogdon (Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, owner of greater than 5% of the outstanding common stock and former Chief Acquisition Officer of the Company,) and his wife; and (iii) five entities controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Brogdon, which entities own five skilled-nursing facilities located in Oklahoma (the “Oklahoma Owners”) that were previously managed by an AdCare subsidiary. The complaint alleges, with respect to the AdCare Defendants, that: (i) the AdCare Defendants tortuously interfered with contractual relations between the Plaintiffs and Mr. Brogdon, and with Plaintiffs’ prospective economic advantage, relating to SSSI’s right to manage the Oklahoma Facilities and seven other skilled-nursing facilities located in Oklahoma (collectively, the “Facilities”), respectively; (ii) the AdCare Defendants fraudulently induced the Plaintiffs to perform work and incur expenses with respect to the Facilities; and (iii) one of the AdCare subsidiaries which is an AdCare Defendant provided false and defamatory information to an Oklahoma regulatory authority regarding SSSI’s management of one of the Oklahoma Facilities. The complaint seeks damages against the AdCare Defendants, including punitive damages, in an unspecified amount, as well as costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees. On March 7, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in which they alleged additional facts regarding the alleged fraudulent inducement caused by Mr. and Mrs. Brogdon and the AdCare Defendants. On April 4, 2014, the Company responded to the amended complaint and filed a motion to dismiss the case and is waiting on a decision by the court. The trial is scheduled to begin in January 2015. The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims set forth therein.

On March 7, 2014 the Company responded to a letter received from the Ohio Attorney General ("OAG") dated February 25, 2014 demanding repayment of approximately $1.0 million as settlement for alleged improper Medicaid payments related to seven Ohio facilities affiliated with the Company. The OAG alleged that the Company had submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws. The Company intends to defend itself against the claims. The Company has not recorded a liability for this matter because the liability, if any, and outcome can not be determined at this time.
