REGIONAL HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2019
NOTE 1. |
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Description of Business
AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”) is the former parent of, and the predecessor issuer to, Regional Health Properties, Inc. (“Regional Health” or “Regional” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “we”). On September 29, 2017, AdCare merged (the “Merger”) with and into Regional Health, a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare formed for the purpose of the Merger, with Regional Health continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. The Company now has many of the characteristics of a real estate investment trust and is focused on the ownership, acquisition and leasing of healthcare related properties. For a description of the Merger, see Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplemental Data”, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 17, 2019 (the “Annual Report”).
Regional Health is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living. The Company’s business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities to third-party tenants, which operate the facilities. The operators of the Company’s facilities provide a range of healthcare services to their patients and residents, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company owned, leased, or managed for third parties 24 facilities, primarily in the Southeast United States. Of the 24 facilities, the Company: (i) leased 10 owned facilities and subleased nine leased skilled nursing facilities to third-party tenants; (ii) leased two owned assisted living facilities to third-party tenants; and (iii) managed on behalf of third-party owners two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility. See Note 7 – Leases, herein, and Note 7 – Leases located in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplemental Data” in the Annual Report for a more detailed description of the Company’s leases.
Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated April 15, 2019, as subsequently amended from time to time (the “PSA”), between certain subsidiaries of the Company and MED Healthcare Partners LLC (“MED”), the Company sold to affiliates of MED Healthcare Partners LLC (“MED”) four skilled nursing facilities (collectively, the “PSA Facilities”), together with substantially all of the fixtures, equipment, furniture, leases and other assets relating to such PSA Facilities (the “Asset Sale”). Under the PSA, the Company sold: (i) on August 28, 2019, the 100-bed skilled nursing facility commonly known as Northwest Nursing Center located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the “Northwest Facility”); and (ii) on August 1, 2019, the following three facilities, (a) the 182-bed skilled nursing facility commonly known as Attalla Health & Rehab located in Attalla, Alabama (the “Attalla Facility”), (b) the 100-bed skilled nursing facility commonly known as Healthcare at College Park located in College Park, Georgia (the “College Park Facility”), and (c) the 118-bed skilled nursing facility commonly known as Quail Creek Nursing Home located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the “Quail Creek Facility”).
In connection with the Asset Sale: (i) MED paid to the Company a cash purchase price for the PSA Facilities equal to $28.5 million in the aggregate; (ii) the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million in sales commission expenses and $0.1 million for a building improvement credit; and (iii) the Company transferred approximately $0.1 million in lease security deposits to MED.
On August 1, 2019, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale to repay approximately $21.3 million to Pinecone Realty Partners II, LLC (“Pinecone”) to extinguish all indebtedness owed by the Company under a loan agreement, dated February 15, 2018, as amended from time to time with an original aggregate principal amount of $16.25 million which refinanced existing mortgage debt (the “Pinecone Credit Facility”), and to repay approximately $3.8 million to Congressional Bank to extinguish all indebtedness owed by the Company under a term loan agreement, dated September 27, 2013, as amended from time to time, between the Company and Congressional Bank (the “Quail Creek Credit Facility”). For further information, see Note 9 – Notes Payable and Other Debt and Note 10 – Discontinued Operations and Dispositions.
The Company leases its currently-owned healthcare properties, and subleases its currently-leased healthcare properties, on a triple-net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the third-party operator of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property, including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable. These leases are generally long-term in nature with renewal options and annual rent escalation clauses.
8
When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), unless otherwise specifically stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms:
|
• |
“common stock” refers to AdCare’s common stock with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to Regional Health’s common stock with respect to the period after the Merger; |
|
• |
“Charter” refers to the amended and restated articles of incorporation of Regional Health. |
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2019, we had negative working capital of approximately $1.6 million, which excludes $6.1 million of current operating lease obligation (with the corresponding right of use asset classified as long term). At September 30, 2019, we had $3.4 million in unrestricted cash and $55.8 million in indebtedness, including current maturities of $1.7 million. On August 1, 2019, the Company fully repaid the amounts due under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Quail Creek Credit Facility using the proceeds from the sale of three of the Company’s facilities. On September 30, 2019, the Company and Pinecone entered into a waiver and release agreement and the Company paid approximately $0.4 million to Pinecone to fully extinguish the surviving obligations and provisions (the “Surviving Obligations”) of the Pinecone Credit Facility, which included (i) a right of first refusal to provide first mortgage financing for any acquisition of a healthcare facility by the Company for a period of three months following the above repayment, and (ii) an exclusive option to refinance the Company’s existing first mortgage loan (the “Pinecone Financing Option”), with a balance of $5.3 million at June 30, 2019, on the Company’s 124-licensed bed skilled nursing facility located in Alabama known as Coosa Valley Health Care, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Pinecone Credit Facility.
Prior to August 1, 2019, the continuation of our business was dependent upon our ability: (i) to comply with the terms and conditions under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the second new amended and restated forbearance agreement, dated March 29, 2019, between the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and Pinecone (the “Second A&R Forbearance Agreement”) as amended on June 13, 2019; and (ii) to refinance or obtain further debt maturity extensions on the Quail Creek Credit Facility, neither of which was entirely within the Company’s control. These factors had created substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company repaid the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility on August 1, 2019 and fully extinguished the Surviving Obligations on September 30, 2019. If efforts to make such repayment had been unsuccessful, the Company would have been required to seek relief through other available alternatives, including a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might have been necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions for information with respect to the PSA, with respect to the sale of the PSA Facilities and the repayment of all amounts due under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Quail Creek Credit Facility, which have addressed certain factors that had created substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As a result of such repayments, the Company is able to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance. For additional information, see Note 3 – Liquidity.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 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.
9
You should read the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report together with the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Annual Report. See Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Annual Report, for a description of all significant accounting policies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no material changes to the Company’s policies, except as noted below in Recently Adopted Standards.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reverse Stock Split
On December 27, 2018, the Board authorized a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock, at a ratio of one-for-twelve shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Shareholder approval for the Reverse Stock Split was obtained at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on December 27, 2018 and the Reverse Stock Split became effective on December 31, 2018. At the effective date, every 12 shares of the common stock that were issued and outstanding were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of the common stock. Shareholders did not receive fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and instead, received an additional whole share of the common stock in lieu thereof. The authorized number of shares, and the par value per share, of the common stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split also correspondingly affected all outstanding Regional Health equity awards. The Reverse Stock Split was implemented for the purpose of complying with the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) continued listing standards regarding low selling price.
All authorized, issued and outstanding stock and per share amounts contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all prior periods presented.
Revenue Recognition and Allowances
Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company’s triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectability is probable. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in straight-line rent receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. In the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future collection of rent from one or more tenant(s) of the Company’s facilities, rental income for the affected facilities is thus recognized only upon cash collection, and any accumulated straight-line rent receivable is thus reversed in the period in which the Company deems rent collection to no longer be probable. Rental revenues for five facilities located in Ohio (until operator transition on December 1, 2018), one facility in North Carolina (until operator transition on March 1, 2019) and four facilities held for sale since April 15, 2019 (until the sale of such facilities, which occurred on August 1, 2019 (three facilities) and August 28, 2019 (one facility)) were recorded on a cash basis during the year ended December 31, 2018, the three months ended March 31, 2019 and until the sale of such facilities, respectively. For additional information with respect to such facilities, see Note 7 – Leases and Note 10 – Discontinued Operations and Dispositions.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as services are provided. The Company has one contract to manage three facilities (the “Management Contract”), with payment for each month of service received in full on a monthly basis. The maximum penalty for service contract nonperformance under the Management Contract is $50,000 per year, payable after the end of the year. Further, the Company recognizes interest income from loans and investments, using the effective interest method when collectability is probable. The Company applies the effective interest method on a loan-by-loan basis.
Allowances. The Company assesses the collectability of its rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants. The Company bases its assessment of the collectability of rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company’s evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments or payments on a working capital loan, then the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset or working capital loan for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. Payments received on impaired loans are applied against the allowance. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectability of future rent payments required by a lease or required from a working capital loan to a tenant, then the Company may adjust its reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue or interest revenue from working capital loans to tenants recognized in the period the Company makes such change in its assumptions or estimates. See Note 7 – Leases.
10
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company reserved for approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables. Accounts receivable, net, totaled $0.9 million at September 30, 2019 and $1.0 million at December 31, 2018.
Extinguishment of Debt
The Company recognizes extinguishment of debt when the criteria for a troubled debt restructure are not met and the change in the debt terms is considered substantial. The Company calculates the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt (including deferred finance fees) and recognizes a gain or loss on the income statement of the period of extinguishment.
Pre-paid expenses and other
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in pre-paid expenses and other, primarily for directors’ and officers’ insurance and mortgage insurance premiums.
Self-Insurance
The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations during 2014 and 2015 in connection with its transition from an owner and operator of healthcare properties to a healthcare property holding and leasing company (the “Transition”). See Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Annual Report for more information. The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (iv) the status and likely success of any mediation or settlement discussions, including estimated settlement amounts and legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in such settlement, as applicable; and (v) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. The Company believes that most of the professional and general liability actions are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment unless settlement is more advantageous to the Company. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve reflects the Company’s estimate of settlement amounts for the pending actions, if applicable, and legal costs of settling or litigating the pending actions, as applicable. Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve may not be sufficient to cover the settlement amounts actually incurred in settling the pending actions, or the legal costs actually incurred in settling or litigating the pending actions. See Note 8 – Accrued Expenses and Other.
In addition, the Company maintains certain other insurance programs, including commercial general liability, property, casualty, directors’ and officers’ liability, crime and employment practices liability.
Recently Adopted Standards
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-02, Leases, as codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, using the non-comparative transition option pursuant to ASU 2018-11. Therefore we have not restated comparative period financial information for the effects of ASC 842, and we have not made the new required lease disclosures for comparative periods beginning before January 1, 2019. The Company recognized both right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases in which we lease land, real property or other equipment, electing the practical expedient to maintain the prior operating lease classification. Effective January 1, 2019, we will assess any new contracts or modification of contracts in accordance with ASC 842 to determine the existence of a lease and its classification. We are reporting revenues and expenses for real estate taxes and insurance, prospectively where the lessee has not made those payments directly to a third party in accordance with their respective leases with us.
The following table summarizes real estate tax recognized on our consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Also, we now expense certain leasing costs, other than leasing commissions, as they are incurred. Current GAAP provides for the deferral and amortization of such costs over the applicable lease term. Adoption of ASU 2016-02 has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, other than the initial balance sheet impact of recognizing the right-of-use assets and the right-of-use lease liabilities. Upon adoption, we recognized operating lease assets of $39.8 million on our consolidated balance sheet for the period ended March 31, 2019, which represents the present value of minimum lease payments associated with such leases. Also upon adoption, we recognized operating lease liabilities of $41.5 million, instead of $1.7 million of previously recorded deferred rent recorded in “Other Liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet for the period ended March 31, 2019. The present value of minimum lease payments was calculated on each lease using a discount rate that approximated our incremental borrowing rate and the current lease term and upon adoption we utilized a discount rate of 7.98% for the Company’s leases. See Note 7– Leases for the Company’s operating leases.
See Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Annual Report, for a description of the other accounting pronouncements the Company is currently evaluating.
NOTE 2. |
EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding including potentially dilutive securities (such as options, warrants and non-vested common stock) when such securities are not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities from options, 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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, approximately 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares, respectively, of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because including them would have been anti-dilutive for such periods.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of net income (loss) for continuing and discontinued operations and the number of shares of common stock used in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share:

LIQUIDITY |
Going Concern and Overview
As of September 30, 2019, we had negative working capital of approximately $1.6 million which excludes $6.1 million of current operating lease obligation (with the corresponding right of use asset classified as long term). At September 30, 2019, we had $3.4 million in unrestricted cash and $55.8 million in indebtedness, including current maturities of $1.7 million. The current portion of such indebtedness is comprised of senior debt and bond and mortgage indebtedness. On August 1, 2019, the Company fully repaid the amounts due under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Quail Creek Credit Facility using the proceeds from the Asset Sale.
Prior to August 1, 2019, the continuation of our business was dependent upon our ability: (i) to comply with the terms and conditions under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement as amended on June 13, 2019; and (ii) to refinance or obtain further debt maturity extensions on the Quail Creek Credit Facility, neither of which was entirely within the Company’s control. These factors had created substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company repaid the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility on August 1, 2019. If efforts to make such repayments had been unsuccessful, the Company would have been required to seek relief through a number of other available alternatives including a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might have been necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions. The Asset Sale on August 1, 2019, and the repayment of all amounts due under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Quail Creek Credit Facility, have addressed certain factors that had created substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of such repayment, the Company is able to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.
The Company is undertaking measures to grow its operations, streamline its cost infrastructure and otherwise increase liquidity by: (i) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments, with such repayment to be funded through potentially expanding borrowing arrangements with certain lenders or raising capital through the issuance of securities after restructuring of the Company’s capital structure; (ii) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (iii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iv) replacing certain tenants who default on their lease payment terms; and (v) reducing other and general and administrative expenses.
Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and debt refinancing during the twelve months from the date of this filing. At September 30, 2019, the Company had $3.4 million in unrestricted cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated positive operating cash flow from continuing operations of $2.2 million.
Series A Preferred Dividend Suspension
On June 8, 2018, the Board indefinitely suspended quarterly dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. Such dividends are currently in arrears with respect to the fourth quarter of 2017, all quarters of 2018, and the first, second and third quarters of 2019. The Board plans to revisit the dividend payment policy with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock on an ongoing basis. The Board believes that the dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional funds to meet its ongoing liquidity needs. As the Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for more than four dividend periods, the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock for the fifth and future missed dividend periods has increased to 12.875%, which is equivalent to $3.22 per share each year, commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment (October 1, 2018) and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash.
13
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had total current liabilities of $14.1 million and total current assets of $6.4 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $1.6 million after excluding $6.1 million of current operating lease obligation (with the corresponding right of use asset classified as long term). Included in current liabilities at September 30, 2019 is the $1.7 million current portion of the Company’s $55.8 million in indebtedness. The current portion of such indebtedness is comprised of senior debt, bond and mortgage indebtedness and other debt. The Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately $1.7 million during the next twelve-month period, which includes approximately $1.5 million of routine debt service amortization, $0.1 million payments on other non-routine debt and $0.1 million payment of bond debt. On August 1, 2019, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale to repay approximately $21.3 million to Pinecone to extinguish all indebtedness owed by the Company under the Pinecone Credit Facility, and to repay approximately $3.8 million to Congressional Bank to extinguish all indebtedness owed by the Company under the Quail Creek Credit Facility. For further information, see Note – 9 Notes Payable and Other debt and Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions.
Debt Covenant Compliance
As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the various covenants for the Company’s outstanding credit related instruments.
Changes in Operational Liquidity
On August 1, 2019 and August 28, 2019 the Company completed the Asset Sale. The sale of the Quail Creek Facility, the Attalla Facility and the College Park Facility occurred on August 1, 2019, and the sale of the Northwest Facility occurred on August 28, 2019. In connection with the Asset Sale: (i) MED paid to the Company a cash purchase price for the PSA Facilities equal to $28.5 million in the aggregate; (ii) the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million in sales commission expenses and $0.1 million for a building improvement credit; and (iii) transferred approximately $0.1 million in lease security deposits to MED. The expected 2019 annualized rent receivable, for the PSA Facilities was approximately $3.0 million and estimated 2019 annualized interest expense for the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility, repaid on August 1, 2019 from the Asset Sale proceeds, was approximately $3.8 million.
Evaluation of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, the Company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or not the entity’s current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the entity to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the entity will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In applying applicable accounting guidance, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, and the Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months, as well as the Company’s recurring business operating expenses.
As the Company fully repaid the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility on August 1, 2019 from the proceeds of the Asset Sale, the Company is able to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.

LEASES |
Operating Leases
The Company leases nine skilled nursing facilities from unaffiliated owners under non-cancelable leases, all of which have rent escalation clauses and provisions requiring payment of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs by the lessee. Each of the skilled nursing facilities that are leased by the Company are subleased to and operated by third-party tenants. The Company also leases certain office space located in Atlanta and Suwanee, Georgia. The Atlanta office space is subleased to a third-party entity.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company is in compliance with all operating lease financial covenants.
Subleased facilities
The weighted average remaining lease term for our nine subleased facilities is 8.1 years.
Foster Prime Lease. Eight of the Company’s skilled nursing facilities (collectively, the “Georgia Facilities”) are leased under a single master indivisible arrangement (as amended), by and between the Company and William M. Foster, with a lease termination date of August 31, 2027 (the “Prime Lease”). Under the Prime Lease, a default related to an individual facility may cause a default of the entire Prime Lease. The Company is responsible for the cost of maintaining the Georgia Facilities. On August 14, 2015, the lessor consented to the Company’s sublease of the Georgia Facilities to a third-party tenant. Commencing on July 1, 2016, annual rent increases at 2.0% annually for the remainder of the lease term.
Covington Prime Lease. One of the Company’s facilities is leased under an agreement dated August 26, 2002, as subsequently amended (the “Covington Prime Lease”), by and between the Company and Covington Realty, LLC (“Covington”). On January 11, 2019 the Company and Covington entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Covington Forbearance Agreement”), whereby the Company and Covington agreed that: (i) the term of the lease shall be extended from April 30, 2025 until April 30, 2029 (the “Term”); (ii) the base rent was reduced by approximately $0.8 million over the remainder of the prior lease term; and (iii) the Company shall receive relief from approximately $0.5 million of outstanding lease amounts (the “Rent Due”) as of December 31, 2018. Without waiving any default by the Company or Covington’s rights and remedies, and subject to specified terms and conditions for so long as the Company or the Company’s subtenant are not in default under the lease and the proposed sublease, as the case may be, Covington (including its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns) will forbear from pursuing its rights against the Company for so long as neither the Company nor its subtenant is not in default under the existing lease, as amended on January 11, 2019, or the new sublease, on the final day of the third, fourth and fifth years following the execution of the new sublease. Covington will release and forever quit claim specified portions of the Rent Due as follows: one-third at the end of year
17
three of the new sublease, one-third at the end of year four of the new sublease, and one-third at the end of year five of the new sublease. The forbearance period under the Covington Forbearance Agreement shall terminate as of the expiration of the Term. At Covington’s option in its sole and absolute business discretion, the Covington Forbearance Agreement and the forbearance period thereunder can be terminated upon the occurrence of certain specified events such as, the Company files a petition for bankruptcy or takes advantage of any other debtor relief law, or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy is filed against the Company, or any other judicial action is taken with respect to the Company by any creditor of the Company or the Company breaches or defaults in performance of any covenant or agreement contained in the Covington Forbearance Agreement. Upon termination of the forbearance period under the Covington Forbearance Agreement, for any reason, Covington may take all steps it deems necessary or desirable to enforce its lease rights as permitted by law or equity.
Bonterra/Parkview Master Lease. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a forbearance agreement with Pinecone with respect to the Pinecone Credit Facility on December 31, 2018 (the “A&R New Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone consented to the termination, of the Company’s lease and sublease of two skilled nursing facilities, an 115-bed skilled nursing facility located in East Point, Georgia and an 184-bed skilled nursing facility located in Atlanta, Georgia (the “Omega Facilities”), by mutual consent of the Company and the lessor (affiliate of Omega Healthcare) and the sublessees (affiliates of Wellington Health Services) of each of the Omega Facilities (the “Omega Lease Termination”). Prior to the Omega Lease Termination which was effective January 15, 2019, the Omega Facilities were leased under a single indivisible agreement (the “Bonterra/Parkview Master Lease”), which leases were due to expire August 2025 and which Omega Facilities the Company subleased to third party subtenants. Effective January 15, 2019, pursuant to the Omega Lease Termination and as contemplated by the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, the Company’s leases for the Omega Facilities were terminated by mutual consent of the Company and the lessor of the Omega Facilities.
In connection with the Omega Lease Termination, the Company transferred approximately $0.4 million of all its integral physical fixed assets in the Omega Facilities to the lessor and on January 28, 2019 received from the lessor gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, consisting of (i) a termination fee in the amount of $1.2 million and (ii) approximately $0.3 million to satisfy other net amounts due to the Company under the leases. The Company paid $1.2 million of such Omega Lease Termination proceeds to Pinecone on January 28, 2019, as required by the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, to reimburse Pinecone for approximately $0.3 million of certain unpaid expenses and partially prepay $0.9 million of the principal amount of Pinecone’s loan to AdCare Property Holdings, LLC (the “AdCare Holdco Loan”). The Omega Lease Termination contributed approximately $0.7 million income recorded in "Net loss attributable to Regional Health Properties, Inc. common stockholders" reported in the consolidated statement of operations for the period ended March 31, 2019. For further information, see Note 10 - Discontinued Operations and Dispositions.
Wellington. Two of the Company’s eight Georgia Facilities, leased under the Prime Lease, are subleased to affiliates of Wellington Health Services under agreements dated January 31, 2015, as subsequently amended (the “Wellington Subleases”). The Wellington Subleases, which are due to expire August 31, 2027, relate to the Company’s 134-bed skilled nursing facility located in Thunderbolt, Georgia (the “Tara Facility”) and an 208-bed skilled nursing facility located in Powder Springs, Georgia (the “Powder Springs Facility”). Effective February 1, 2019, the Company agreed to a 10% reduction in base rent, or in aggregate approximately an average $31,000 per month cash rent reduction for the year ended December 31, 2019, and $48,000 per month decrease in straight-line revenue, respectively for the Tara Facility and the Powder Springs Facility combined. Additionally the Company modified the annual rent escalator to 1% per year from the prior scheduled increase from 1% to 2% previously due to commence of the 1st day of the sixth lease year.

Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators
As of September 30, 2019, the Company leased or subleased 21 facilities (12 owned by the Company and nine leased to the Company), to third-party tenants on a triple net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the third-party tenant of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property, including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable. The weighted average remaining lease term for our facilities is 8.2 years.
Beacon. On August 1, 2015, the Company entered into a lease inducement fee agreement with certain affiliates (collectively, the "Beacon Affiliates") of Beacon Health Management, LLC (“Beacon”), pursuant to which the Company paid a fee of $0.6 million as a lease inducement for certain Beacon Affiliates to enter into sublease agreements and to commence such subleases and transfer operations thereunder (the “Beacon Lease Inducement”). As of December 31, 2017, the balance of the Beacon Lease Inducement was approximately $0.5 million. On April 24, 2018, five Beacon affiliates (the “Ohio Beacon Affiliates”) informed the Company in writing that they would no longer be operating five (four owned and one leased by the Company) of the Company’s facilities located in Ohio (the “Ohio Beacon Facilities”), whose leases were set to expire in 2025, and that they would surrender operation of such facilities to the Company on June 30, 2018. On November 30, 2018, the Ohio Beacon Affiliates, who were ten months in arrears on rental payments, surrendered possession of the Ohio Beacon Facilities and the lease was terminated by mutual consent. Pursuant to such termination, on November 30, 2018, the Company and the Ohio Beacon Affiliates entered into a termination agreement (the “Ohio Beacon Termination Agreement”), whereby the Ohio Beacon Affiliates agreed to pay a $0.675 million termination fee, payable in 18 monthly installments of $37,500 commencing January 3, 2019 in full satisfaction of the $0.5 million Beacon Lease Inducement and approximately $2.5 million in rent in arrears and approximately $0.6 million of other receivables, such as property taxes and capital expenditures, which discharges each tenant from any and all claims upon completion of the payment plan. The Company intends to enforce its rights under the Ohio Beacon Termination Agreement. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report, 11 such installment payments have been received, but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain payment of the outstanding unpaid termination fee from the Ohio Beacon Affiliates. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized revenue on a cash basis with respect to the Ohio Beacon Facilities. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company expensed approximately $0.7 million straight-line rent asset, recorded an allowance of $0.5 million against the Beacon Lease Inducement and recorded approximately $0.3 million allowance for other receivables. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company released approximately $0.3 million of the provision of doubtful accounts as the Company has assessed the collectability of the remaining $0.3 million termination fee is more probable than not.
Aspire. On November 30, 2018, the Company subleased the Ohio Beacon Facilities to affiliates (collectively, “Aspire Sublessees”) of Aspire Regional Partners, Inc. (“Aspire”) management formerly affiliated with MSTC Development Inc., pursuant to separate sublease agreements (the “Aspire Subleases”), whereby the Aspire Sublessees took possession of, and commenced operating, the Ohio Beacon Facilities (under Aspire’s operation, the “Aspire Facilities”) as subtenant. The Aspire Subleases became effective on December 1, 2018 and are structured as triple net leases. The Aspire Facilities are comprised of: (i) a 94-bed skilled nursing facility located in Covington, Ohio (the “Covington Facility”); (ii) an 80-bed assisted living facility located in Springfield, Ohio (the “Eaglewood ALF Facility”); (iii) a 99-bed skilled nursing facility located in Springfield, Ohio (the “Eaglewood Care Center Facility”); (iv) a 50-bed skilled nursing facility located in Greenfield, Ohio (the “H&C of Greenfield Facility”); and (v) a 50-bed skilled nursing facility located in Sidney, Ohio (the “Pavilion Care Facility”). Under the Aspire Subleases, a default related to an individual facility may cause a default under all the Aspire Subleases. All Subleases are for an initial term of 10 years, with renewal options, except with respect to term for the H&C of Greenfield Facility, which has an initial five year term, and set annual rent increases generally commencing in the third lease year; from month seven of the Aspire Subleases monthly rent amounts may increase based on each facility’s prior month occupancy, with minimum annual rent escalations of at least 1% generally commencing in the third lease year. Minimum rent receivable for the Covington Facility, the Eaglewood ALF Facility, the Eaglewood Care Center Facility, the H&C of Greenfield Facility and the Pavilion Care Facility for the year ending December 31, 2019 is $0.4 million, $0.5 million, $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million per annum, respectively. Additionally, the Company agreed to indemnify Aspire against any and all liabilities imposed on them as arising from the former operator, capped at $8.0 million. The Company has assessed the fair value of the indemnity agreements as not material to the financial statements at September 30, 2019.
Symmetry. Affiliates (the “Symmetry Tenants”) of Healthcare Management, LLC (“Symmetry” or “Symmetry Healthcare”) leased the following facilities from the Company, pursuant to separate lease agreements which expire in 2030 (the “Symmetry Leases”): (i) the Company’s 106-bed, skilled nursing facility located in Sylvia, North Carolina (the “Mountain Trace Facility”); (ii) the Company’s 96-bed, skilled nursing facility located in Sumter, South Carolina (the “Sumter Facility”); and (iii) the Company’s 84-bed, skilled nursing facility located in Georgetown, South Carolina (the “Georgetown Facility”). On June 27, 2018, the Company notified Blue Ridge of Sumter, LLC, the tenant with respect to the Sumter Facility (the “Sumter Tenant”), and Blue Ridge on the Mountain, LLC, the tenant with respect to the Mountain Trace Facility (the “Mountain Trace Tenant”), that continued breach of the payment terms of the applicable Symmetry Lease would constitute an event of default. The Symmetry Tenants had alleged that the Company was in material breach of each of the Symmetry Leases with regard to deferred maintenance and were withholding rental payments on the basis of such allegations.
19
Prior to September 20, 2018, the Mountain Trace Tenant had not paid approximately $0.2 million in rent owed for April through August 2018, the Sumter Tenant had not paid approximately $0.3 million in rent owed for May through August 2018, and Blue Ridge in Georgetown, LLC, the tenant with respect to the Georgetown Facility (the “Georgetown Tenant”), had not paid $0.05 million in rent owed for July and August 2018.
On September 20, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with the Symmetry Tenants with respect to the Symmetry Leases, pursuant to which the Symmetry Tenants agreed to a payment plan for the rent arrears and the Company agreed to a reduction in annualized rent of approximately $0.6 million, or 5.3% of the total expected 2018 annual cash rent, and waived approximately $0.2 million in rent arrears, upon which the Symmetry Tenants recommenced monthly rent payments of $0.1 million starting with the September 1, 2018 amounts due under the Symmetry Leases. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain payment of all unpaid rents and the collection of approximately $1.3 million (comprised of approximately $0.9 million straight-line rent asset and approximately $0.4 million of payment plan receivables) of asset balances could be at risk. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company expensed approximately $0.4 million allowance against the outstanding balance of payment plan receivables. On February 28, 2019 the Company completed a mutual lease termination with the Mountain Trace Tenant and operations at the facility were transferred to Vero Health X, LLC (“Vero Health”).
Vero Health. On February 28, 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Vero Health Lease”) with Vero Health, providing that Vero Health would take possession of and operate the Mountain Trace Facility located in North Carolina. The Vero Health Lease became effective, upon the termination of the prior Mountain Trace Tenant mutual lease termination on March 1, 2019. The Vero Health Lease is for an initial term of 10 years, with renewal options, is structured as a triple net lease and rent for the Mountain Trace Facility is approximately $0.5 million per year, with an annual 2.5 % rent escalation clause.
Peach Health. On June 18, 2016, the Company entered into a master sublease agreement, as amended on March 30, 2018, (the “Peach Health Sublease”) with affiliates (collectively, “Peach Health Sublessee”) of Peach Health Group, LLC (“Peach Health”), providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of and operate three facilities located in Georgia (the “Peach Facilities”) as subtenant. The Peach Facilities are comprised of: (i) an 85-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Oceanside Facility”); (ii) a 50-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Savannah Beach Facility”); and (iii) a 131-bed skilled nursing facility located in Jeffersonville, Georgia (the “Jeffersonville Facility”).
In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company extended a line of credit to Peach Health Sublessee for up to $1.0 million for operations at the Peach Facilities (the “Peach Line”), with an initial interest rate of 13.5% per annum, which increases by 1% per annum. The Peach Line had a maturity date one year from the date of the first disbursement and is secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable. On April 6, 2017, the Company modified certain terms of the Peach Line in connection with Peach Health Sublessee securing a $2.5 million revolving working capital loan from a third party lender (the “Peach Working Capital Facility”), subsequently capped at $1.75 million, which matures April 5, 2020. The Peach Working Capital Facility is secured by Peach Health Sublessee’s eligible accounts receivable, and all collections on the eligible accounts receivable are remitted to a lockbox controlled by the lender. The modifications of the Peach Line include: (i) reducing the loan balance to $0.8 million and restricting further borrowings; (ii) extending the maturity date to October 1, 2020 and adding a six month extension option by Peach Health Sublessee, subject to certain conditions; (iii) increasing the interest rate from 13.5% per annum by 1% per annum; and (iv) establishing a four-year amortization schedule. Payment of principal and interest under the Peach Line is governed by certain financial covenants limiting distributions under the Peach Working Capital Facility. Furthermore, the Company guaranteed Peach Health Sublessee’s borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility subject to certain burn-off provisions (i.e., the Company’s obligations under such guaranty cease after the later of 18 months or achievement of a certain financial ratio by Peach Health Sublessee). The Company is obligated to pay the outstanding balance on the Peach Working Capital Facility (after application of all eligible accounts receivable collections by the lender) if Peach Health Sublessee fails to comply with the Peach Working Capital Facility obligations and covenants. Fair value of the liability using the expected present value approach is immaterial.
At September 30, 2019, there was approximately $1.2 million outstanding on the Peach Line.
C.R. Management. On March 21, 2018, C. R. of Attalla, LLC (the “Attalla Tenant”), affiliated with C-Ross Management, filed a voluntary chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in the state of Alabama, due to unpaid back taxes owed to the Internal Revenue Services (the “IRS”) and a large professional and general liability judgement (the “Attalla PLGL Claim”) imposed against it, in order to be granted an automatic stay from any IRS recoupments and any collection attempts from the Attalla PLGL Claim. The Attalla Tenant continued to pay its monthly rent obligations under its lease agreement to the Company pursuant to the April 16, 2018, court approved motion for the Attalla Tenant to formally assume the Attalla lease. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had recorded a straight-line rent receivable of approximately $0.6 million. On January 8, 2019, the Attalla Tenant bankruptcy filing was dismissed per filing with the bankruptcy court. On August 1, 2019, the Company sold the facility leased to the Attalla Tenant and the College Park Facility as part of the Asset Sale and leased to another tenant affiliated with C-Ross Management and assigned the associated leases, which were set to expire in 2030, pursuant to the Asset Sale. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions for further information.
20
Southwest LTC. As part of the Asset Sale, on August 1, 2019 the Company sold the Quail Creek Facility and on August 28, 2019 the Company sold the Northwest Facility, assigning both associated leases which were set to expire in 2025. The tenants of such facilities were affiliated with Southwest LTC and were our only tenants associated with Southwest LTC. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions for further information.

The loans contain customary events of default, including fraud or material misrepresentations or material omission, the commencement of a forfeiture action or proceeding, failure to make required payments, and failure to perform or comply with certain agreements. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the lenders may, after receiving the prior written approval of HUD, terminate the loans and all amounts under the loans will become immediately due and payable. In connection with entering into each loan, the Company entered into a healthcare regulatory agreement and a promissory note, each containing customary terms and conditions. |

Pinecone Credit Facility
On February 15, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into the Pinecone Credit Facility with Pinecone, with an original aggregate principal amount of $16.25 million, which refinanced existing mortgage debt in an aggregate amount of $8.7 million on three skilled nursing properties, the Attalla Facility, the College Park Facility and the Northwest Facility (the “Pinecone Facilities”), and provided additional surplus cash flow of $6.3 million for general corporate needs after deducting approximately $1.25 million in debt issuance costs and prepayment penalties.
Regional Health was a guarantor of the Pinecone Credit Facility. Certain of the notes under the Pinecone Credit Facility were also guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Regional Health. The surplus cash flow from the Pinecone Credit Facility was used to fund $2.4 million of self-insurance reserves for professional and general liability claims with respect to 25 professional and general liability actions, and to fund repayment of $1.5 million in convertible debt. The remaining $2.4 million in surplus cash proceeds from the Pinecone Credit Facility was used for general corporate purposes.
The maturity date of the Pinecone Credit Facility was August 15, 2020 and it originally bore interest at a fixed rate equal to 10% per annum for the first three months after the Closing Date and at a fixed rate equal to 12.5% per annum thereafter, subject to adjustment upon an event of default and specified regulatory events. The Pinecone Credit Facility was secured by, among other things, first priority liens on the Pinecone Facilities and all tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers owning the Pinecone Facilities, including all rent payments received from the operators thereof. Accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Pinecone Credit Facility was payable in consecutive monthly installments. Unless accelerated by Pinecone, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Pinecone Credit Facility was due on the maturity date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and a finance fee equal to 3% of the original principal amount.
The Pinecone Credit Facility was subject to customary operating and financial covenants and regulatory conditions for each of the Pinecone Facilities, which resulted in additional monthly interest charges during any non-compliance and cure period. The Pinecone Credit Facility was prepayable with a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the principal amount being repaid.
The Pinecone Credit Facility and the related documentation provided for customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Pinecone increased the interest rate to 18.5% during periods not covered by compliance with the relevant forbearance agreement.
Pinecone Forbearance Agreements
On May 10, 2018, management was notified by Pinecone that the certain events of default under the Pinecone Credit Facility had occurred and were continuing. On May 18, 2018, the Company and Pinecone entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Original Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Original Forbearance Agreement, to forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to specified events of default (the “Specified Defaults”) under the Pinecone Credit Facility during the forbearance period provided for therein. The Original Forbearance Agreement outlined a plan of correction whereby the Company could regain compliance under the Pinecone Credit Facility. Requirements set forth in the Original Forbearance Agreement included, among other things, the hiring of a special consultant to advise management on operational improvements and to assist in coordinating overall company strategy. Pursuant to the Original Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Credit Facility. Such amendments, among other things: (i) eliminated the Company’s obligation to complete certain lease assignments to suitably qualified replacement operators; (ii) required the payment of a specified “break-up fee” upon certain events, including prepayment of the Pinecone Credit Facility or a change of control; (iii) increased the ongoing interest rate from 12.5% per annum to 13.5% effective May 18, 2018; and (iv) increased the outstanding principal balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility by 2.5%.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries subsequently entered into additional forbearance agreements with Pinecone with respect to the Pinecone Credit Facility on September 6, 2018 (the “New Forbearance Agreement”) and the A&R New Forbearance Agreement on December 31, 2018. The forbearance period under the Original Forbearance Agreement terminated on July 6, 2018 and the forbearance period under the A&R New Forbearance Agreement terminated on December 31, 2018 because the Company did not satisfy certain conditions set forth therein.
24
Pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Credit Facility. Such amendments, among other things: (i) increased the finance fee payable on repayment or acceleration of the loans, depending on the time at which the loans were repaid ($0.25 million prior to December 31, 2018 and $0.5 million thereafter); and (ii) increased the outstanding principal balance owed by (a) approximately $0.7 million to reimburse Pinecone for its accrued and unpaid expenses and to pay outstanding interest payments for prior interest periods and (b) $1.5 million as a non-refundable payment of additional interest. During the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, the interest rate reverted from the default rate of 18.5% per annum to the ongoing rate of 13.5% per annum.
Pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement which amended the Pinecone Credit Facility, the Company hired a financial advisor (a “Financial Advisor”) acceptable to Pinecone to advise management and the Board of Directors on operational improvements and to assist in coordinating overall company strategy, whose engagement included assisting the Company to obtain one or more sources of refinancing to repay the obligations under the Pinecone Credit Facility.
On December 31, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the A&R New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to the Specified Defaults under the Pinecone Credit Facility. The forbearance period under the A&R New Forbearance Agreement was from December 31, 2018 to March 14, 2019, and expired according to its terms.
Pursuant to the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone amended certain provisions of the Loan Agreement, whereby Pinecone consented to the Omega Lease Termination and required the Company to pay to Pinecone approximately $1.4 million, of which $0.2 million was paid on January 4, 2019 for Pinecone’s expenses, which included a 1% prepayment penalty. On January 28, 2019, in connection with the Omega Lease Termination, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, consisting of (i) a termination fee in the amount of $1.2 million and (ii) approximately $0.3 million to satisfy other net amounts due to the Company under the leases.
The Company paid $1.2 million of such Omega Lease Termination proceeds to Pinecone on January 28, 2019, as required by the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, to reimburse Pinecone for approximately $0.3 million of certain unpaid expenses and partially prepay $0.9 million of the AdCare Holdco Loan.
The A&R New Forbearance Agreement amended the Loan Agreement to, among other things: (i) add a $0.35 million fee (paid in kind) to the loans on a pro rata basis; (ii) provide for additional payment in kind interest at a rate of 3.5% (the “PIK Rate”), with such interest to be paid in kind in arrears by increasing the outstanding principal amount of loans held by Pinecone on the first (1st) day of each month; provided that interest accruing at the PIK Rate on each loan and any overdue interest on each loan be paid in cash (a) on the maturity of the loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise, or (b) in connection with any repayment or prepayment of the loans; and (iii) modify the default rate of interest to add an additional 2.5% to the PIK Rate, in addition to the ongoing rate of 13.5%. During the forbearance period under the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, the interest rate to be paid in cash on the first (1st) day of each month was the ongoing rate of 13.5% per annum.
In addition, the A&R New Forbearance Agreement amended the Loan Agreement to require the Company to continue to retain the financial advisor as the Company’s chief restructuring officer (“CRO”) and hire a nationally recognized investment banker reasonably acceptable to Pinecone no later than January 7, 2019 to advise management and the Board on potential asset sale and related transactions and perform valuation debt capacity analyses. By February 28, 2019, the Company and the CRO (whose responsibilities were expanded to include all aspects of transaction planning, including a process of soliciting bids for one or more asset sale or related transactions (the “Bid Solicitation”) had to: (i) complete the Bid Solicitation; and (ii) negotiate in good faith and enter into with Pinecone an agreement that is acceptable to Pinecone, which required, among other things, that the Company engage in a process that culminated in (a) the consummation of one or more asset sales or related transactions and (b) the payment in full in cash of all obligations under the Loan Agreement with the proceeds thereof. As a condition of the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, the Company appointed a Pinecone non-voting observer to attend all meetings of the Board and each committee thereof, subject to certain exceptions described in the A&R New Forbearance Agreement.
On March 29, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to the Specified Defaults under the Loan Agreement. The forbearance period under the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement commenced on March 29, 2019 and could have extended as late as October 1, 2019, unless the forbearance period was earlier terminated as a result of specified termination events, including a default or event of default under the Loan Agreement (other than any Specified Defaults) or any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to comply with the terms of the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s obligation to progress with an Asset Sale in accordance with the timeline specified therein.
25
Pursuant to the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement. The Second A&R Forbearance Agreement required, among other things (i) that the Company pursue and complete the Asset Sale which resulted in the repayment in full of all of the Company’s indebtedness to Pinecone and, in connection therewith, the Company paid not less than $0.3 million and not more than $0.55 million in forbearance fees, as well as certain other expenses of Pinecone, or (ii) Pinecone’s other disposition of the Loan Agreement as contemplated by the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement. Additionally the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement accelerated the previously disclosed 3% finance “tail fee”, 1% prepayment penalty, and 1% break up fee so that such fees and penalties became part of the principal as of April 15, 2019.
On June 13, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment with respect to the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement (the “Pinecone Amendment”), pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Pinecone Amendment, to extend the timeline to complete the Asset Sale to August 15, 2019.
Pursuant to the Pinecone Amendment, the Company paid an additional non-refundable payment, payable in kind, on June 13, 2019, by increasing the outstanding principal amount owed to Pinecone up to approximately $0.5 million, which replaced approximately $0.2 million of payable in kind fees, under the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement.
The forbearance period under the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement remained unchanged by the Pinecone Amendment and may have continued until October 1, 2019, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement.
Pinecone Credit Facility Repayment
On August 1, 2019, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale to repay approximately $21.3 million to Pinecone to extinguish all obligations and amounts owed under the Pinecone Credit Facility. However for a period of three months following such repayment, Pinecone continued to hold a right of first refusal to provide first mortgage financing for any acquisition of a healthcare facility by the Company and to have the Pinecone Financing Option. The repayment amount was comprised of the following amounts: (i) approximately $20.7 million in principal (net of $0.1 million loan forgiveness); (ii) $0.5 million in interest; and (iii) $0.1 million in legal expenses. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions for further information.
On September 30, 2019, the Company and Pinecone entered into a waiver and release agreement, and the Company paid approximately $0.4 million to Pinecone to fully extinguish the Surviving Obligations under the Pinecone Credit Facility.
Quail Creek Credit Facility
On April 30, 2019, the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Congressional Bank amended the terms of the Quail Creek Credit Facility, with an original aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, to extend the maturity date of the Quail Creek Credit Facility, with a principal balance of approximately $4.0 million as of March 31, 2019, and bearing interest at LIBOR + 4.75%, to June 30, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”), with an option to further extend the Maturity Date to July 31, 2019, as discussed below. The Quail Creek Credit Facility was secured by a mortgage on the Quail Creek Facility.
As discussed above, on April 15, 2019, the Company entered into the PSA with MED, which provided for, among other things, the sale of the Quail Creek Facility to MED.
The option to further extend the Maturity Date of the Quail Creek Credit Facility to July 31, 2019 (the “Extension Option”), was subject to the Company’s satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Company shall have delivered to the Congressional Bank written notice of its intent to exercise the Extension Option no earlier than 45 days and no later than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date; (ii) no default or event of default shall have occurred; (iii) the closing under the PSA shall have been extended and the PSA shall otherwise still be in full force and effect (including with respect to the Quail Creek Facility); (iv) Congressional Bank shall have received such additional information or costs as Congressional Bank may request; and (v) Congressional Bank shall have approved such extension in its commercially reasonable discretion.
On August 1, 2019, the Company paid approximately $3.8 million to the Congressional Bank to extinguish all obligations and amounts owed under the Quail Creek Credit Facility. The repayment amount was comprised of $3.9 million in principal after application of approximately $0.1 million in restricted cash. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions for further information.
26

In connection with the Omega Lease Termination, the Company transferred approximately $0.4 million of all its integral physical fixed assets in the Omega Facilities to the lessor and on January 28, 2019 and received from the lessor gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, consisting of (i) a termination fee in the amount of $1.2 million and (ii) approximately $0.3 million to satisfy other net amounts due to the Company under the leases. The Company paid $1.2 million of such Omega Lease Termination proceeds to Pinecone on January 28, 2019, as required by the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, to reimburse Pinecone for approximately $0.3 million of certain unpaid expenses and partially prepay $0.9 million of the AdCare Holdco Loan.
The Omega Lease Termination contributed approximately $0.7 million income recorded in "Net loss attributable to Regional Health Properties, Inc. common stockholders" reported in the consolidated statement of operations for the period ended March 31, 2019.
Facilities Sale to MED
On April 15, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into the PSA with MED, with respect to four skilled nursing facilities owned by the Company.
Subject to the terms of the PSA, the Company agreed to sell, and MED agreed to purchase, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in the PSA Facilities. MED’s obligation to complete such purchase and sale was subject to specified closing conditions, which included a 30 day due diligence period (the “Due Diligence Period”). In consideration therefor, MED agreed to pay to the Company the sum of approximately $28.5 million in cash.
On June 11, 2019, the Company and MED entered into an amendment (the “PSA Amendment”) to the PSA, pursuant to which the Company and MED agreed, that the Due Diligence Period expired as of June 3, 2019 and that the scheduled closing date, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary terms and conditions, would occur on August 1, 2019. In accordance with the PSA and PSA Amendment, MED deposited the first deposit of $0.15 million and the second deposit of $0.15 million into an escrow account.
On August 1, 2019, the Company and MED completed the sale of three of the PSA Facilities, together with substantially all of the fixtures, equipment, furniture, leases and other assets relating to such facilities, pursuant to the PSA as amended, and entered into an additional amendment to the PSA on July 31, 2019 (the “PSA NW Amendment”). The aggregate purchase price paid to the Company for the three facilities was $26.1 million, net of $0.175 million from the first and second deposits held in escrow. The remaining earned $0.125 million was applied to the remaining facility sale on August 28, 2019, and the Company paid a $0.4 million sale commission. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility in full.
The PSA NW Amendment provided for: (i) the extension of the scheduled closing date of the fourth facility, the Northwest Facility, to August 30, 2019, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary terms and conditions, which could have been extended to September 30, 2019, for an additional non-refundable fee of $0.075 million if Buyer notified Seller in writing by August 28, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. EST; and (ii) a reduction in the purchase price of approximately $0.1 million for building improvements.
On August 28, 2019, the Company sold to MED the Northwest Facility, together with substantially all of the fixtures, equipment, furniture, leases and other assets relating to the Northwest Facility, pursuant to the PSA as amended, between Seller and Buyer. In connection with the sale, MED paid to the Company a cash purchase price for the Northwest Facility equal to $2.4 million, and the Company incurred approximately $0.1 million for a building improvement credit and sales commission expenses.
The sale of the PSA Facilities contributed approximately $4.8 million income to the Company’s “Net loss attributable to Regional Health Properties, Inc. common stockholders” for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was comprised of approximately $6.4 million gain on the sale of assets, approximately $0.1 million in operational net income offset by $1.7 million of expenses related to the Pinecone Credit Facility forbearance agreements and debt extinguishment, in "Net loss attributable to Regional Health Properties, Inc. common stockholders" reported in the Consolidated Statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

NOTE 11.COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK
Common Stock
As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Reverse Stock Split became effective on December 31, 2018 for all issued and outstanding shares of the common stock. The number of shares authorized under the Company’s equity incentive plans was proportionately adjusted in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all prior periods presented.
There were no dividends paid on the common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Preferred Stock
No dividends were declared or paid on the Series A Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
29
As of September 30, 2019, as a result of the suspension of the dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock commencing with the fourth quarter 2017 dividend period, the Company has $16.6 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board out of funds of the Company legally available for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash dividends at an annual rate equal to 10.875% of the $25.00 per share stated liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, which is equivalent to an annual rate of $2.72 per share or $1.9 million per quarter. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, when and as declared by the Board, are payable quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year. On June 8, 2018, the Board determined to continue suspension of the payment of the quarterly dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock indefinitely. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall continue to accrue and accumulate regardless of whether such dividends are declared by the Board. As the Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for four dividends periods: (i) the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock has increased to 12.875% ,which is equivalent to an annual rate of $3.22 or $2.2 million per quarter, commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment (October 1, 2018) continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash; and (ii) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote, as a single class, for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Board, as further described in the Charter.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 2,811,535 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
The Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.
For historical information regarding the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company’s former “at-the-market” offering program and prior share repurchase programs, see Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, Note 12 – Common and Preferred Stock included in the Annual Report.
NOTE 12. |
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION |
As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Reverse Stock Split became effective on December 31, 2018 for all issued and outstanding shares of the common stock. The number of shares authorized under the Company’s equity incentive plans was proportionately adjusted in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The per share exercise price of all outstanding options and warrants was also increased proportionately and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such options and warrants was reduced proportionately. In addition, the conversion price of all other outstanding securities that are exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, shares of common stock was increased proportionately and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon such exercise, exchange or conversion was reduced proportionally. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows:

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. As of September 30, 2019, all of the Company’s facilities leased and subleased to third-party operators and managed for third-parties are certified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and are operational. See Note 7 - Leases.
Legal Matters
The Company is party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and is subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to the patients of the Company’s facilities and claims related to professional and general negligence, employment, staffing requirements and commercial matters. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters, there is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company previously operated, and the Company’s tenants now operate, in an industry that is extremely regulated. As such, in the ordinary course of business, the Company’s tenants 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 the Company, for the Company’s prior operations, or the Company’s tenants,
32
whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Professional and General Liability Claims. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is a defendant in a total of 12 professional and general liability actions, primarily commenced on behalf of three of our former patients and nine of our current or prior tenant’s former patients. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients who were allegedly injured or died while patients of our facilities due to professional negligence or understaffing. One such action, on behalf of the Company’s former patient, is covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage and nine of such actions relate to events which occurred after the Company transitioned the operations of the facilities in question to a third-party operator and which are subject to such operators’ indemnification obligations in favor of the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019: (i) one action was dismissed, and because the plaintiffs did not re-file on or before September 12, 2019, may not re-file; and (ii) one additional action was filed on January 25, 2019 for a medical injury and improper care and treatment in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, State of Arkansas on behalf of a deceased patient, who received care after the Transition, against the then operator affiliated with Skyline Healthcare, LLC (“Skyline”), the Company and CIBC Bancorp USA, Inc. The plaintiff (Montgomery) is seeking unspecified compensatory damages for the actual losses and unspecified punitive damages. The Company believes that this action lacks merit and the Company intends to take action most favorable to the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company will prevail in the action that has been filed against it.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, three professional and general liability claims as detailed below were filed against the Company.
On May 9, 2019, a complaint was filed in the State Court of Bibb County, State of Georgia by a patient, who received care outside Regional’s date of service (post Transition), against three different unrelated facilities and companies associated with those facilities. One of our tenants, their operator affiliated management company (Beacon) and the Company are among the named defendants. The plaintiff (Goodrum) alleges personal injury, pain and suffering, medical bills and expenses, and loss of consortium and is seeking unspecified compensatory damages to be determined by jury trial. The complaint claims that medical expenses to date amount to $3.0 million. The Company is indemnified in this action by Beacon and believes that this action lacks merit. The Company intends to take action most favorable to the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company will prevail in the action that has been filed against it.
On May 15 2019, a complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, the State of Arkansas on behalf of a patient, who received care outside Regional’s date of service (post-Transition), against the then operator Skyline, the Company and CIBC Bancorp USA, Inc. The plaintiff (McFadden) alleges medical injury, improper care and treatment and is seeking unspecified compensatory damages for the actual losses and unspecified punitive damages. The Company believes that this action lacks merit, the Company intends to take action most favorable to the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company will prevail in the action that has been filed against it.
On June 17, 2019, a complaint was filed in Jackson County, General Court of Justice Superior Court Division, in the State of North Carolina by the estate of a patient (Medlin) who died in August 2016, against one of our prior tenants, their operator affiliated management company (Symmetry), the Company and our new tenant who began operations on March 1, 2019. The plaintiff alleged wrongful death and gross medical malpractice and was seeking unspecified amounts to recover medical and funeral expenses, compensatory damages for pain and suffering, legal expenses and compensation in excess of $25,000 for wrongful death, to be determined by jury trial. The action against the Company was dismissed on August 19, 2019.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, three professional and general liability actions were dismissed, one of which was indemnified by our former tenant and one of which was insured. Additionally the Company settled one professional and general liability action (our former patient), for a total of $200,000, payable in 12 monthly installments of $14,500 with an initial payment of $26,000 commencing November 2019.
On March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a separate mediation settlement agreement with respect to 25 actions filed in the State of Arkansas which were pending on such date, pursuant to which the Company paid a specified settlement amount. The aggregate settlement amount for all such 25 actions before related insurance proceeds was $5.2 million. The settlement of each such action was individually approved by the probate court. Under the settlement and release agreement with respect to a particular action, the Company was released from any and all claims arising out of the applicable plaintiff’s care while the plaintiff was a resident of one of the Company’s facilities.
33
In connection with a dispute between the Company and the Company’s former commercial liability insurance provider regarding, among other things, the Company’s insurance coverage with respect to the 25 actions filed in the State of Arkansas, the former insurer filed a complaint in May 2016 against the Company seeking, among other things, a determination that the former insurer had properly exhausted the limits of liability of certain of the Company’s insurance policies issued by the former insurer, and the Company subsequently filed a counterclaim against the former insurer regarding such matters (collectively, the “Coverage Litigation”). On March 12, 2018, the former insurer and the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Coverage Settlement Agreement”), providing for, among other things, a settlement payment by the former insurer in the amount of approximately $2.8 million (the “Insurance Settlement Amount”), the dismissal with prejudice of the Coverage Litigation, a customary release of claims by the former insurer and the Company, and agreement that the former insurer has exhausted the policies’ respective limits of liability and has no further obligations under the policies. Pursuant to the Coverage Settlement Agreement: (i) on March 16, 2018, the former insurer deposited the Insurance Settlement Amount into the trust account of the mediator with respect to the 25 actions; and (ii) on March 20, 2018, the former insurer and the Company caused the Coverage Litigation, including the counterclaim, to be dismissed with prejudice.
The Company paid, net of the Insurance Settlement Amount, an aggregate of approximately $2.4 million in settlement of all 25 actions filed in the State of Arkansas. The probate court approved settlements with respect to 15 of the 25 Arkansas actions during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 (having approved three in the first quarter of 2018) and approximately $3.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was paid from the mediator’s trust account in such settlements.
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company settled four professional and general liability actions (other than those subject to mediation settlement agreements as discussed above) for the total of $670,000.
In the second quarter of 2018, the Company settled one professional and general liability action (other than those subject to mediation settlement agreements as discussed above) for a total of $50,000, paid in 10 monthly installments commencing July 2018.
In the second quarter of 2018, the Company was notified of one employment related action filed against the Company related to one of the Company’s discontinued operations. On August 1, 2018 the Company responded requesting dismissal without prejudice on multiple grounds, including being barred by the applicable statute of limitation. On October 4, 2018, the case against the Company was dismissed with prejudice.
The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $0.8 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Additionally as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, was reserved for settlement amounts in “Accounts payable” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For additional information regarding the Company’s self-insurance reserve, see Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies included in the Annual Report.
Aria Bankruptcy Proceeding. On May 31, 2016, Highlands Arkansas Holdings, LLC (“HAH”), an affiliate of Aria Health Group, LLC (“Aria”) and nine affiliates of HAH (collectively with HAH, the “Debtors”), filed petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for relief under Chapter 7. Following venue transfer from the Delaware court, these cases have been settled in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas (the “Bankruptcy Court”).
On July 17, 2015, the Company made a short-term loan to HAH, for working capital purposes, and, in connection therewith, HAH executed a promissory note (the “HAH Note”) in favor of the Company. Since July 17, 2015, the HAH Note has been amended from time to time and had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1.0 million that matured on December 31, 2015. On October 6, 2015, HAH and the Company entered into a security agreement, whereby HAH granted the Company a security interest in all accounts arising from the business of the Debtors, and all rights to payment from patients, residents, private insurers and others arising from the business of the Debtors (including any proceeds thereof), as security for payment of the HAH Note, as amended, and certain rent and security deposit obligations of the Debtors under their respective subleases with the Company (the “Aria Subleases”).
On April 21, 2017, the Company moved for relief from the automatic stay seeking release of its collateral, the Debtors’ accounts and their proceeds, which the trustee has represented as a total of approximately $0.8 million. The Company’s motion was opposed by the Chapter 7 trustee and another creditor, in May 2017. In its objection, the Chapter 7 trustee asserted that the Company was not entitled to any of the $0.8 million with respect to the HAH Note. In addition to opposing the Company’s claim to the $0.8 million, the Chapter 7 trustee also indicated he was investigating avoidance claims against the Company with respect to funds the Company received from the Debtors prior to the bankruptcy filings. On March 28, 2018, such avoidance case was filed, requesting relief in an amount of $4.7 million. The Company charged approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million to “Provision for doubtful accounts” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations on the HAH Note as of December 31,
34
2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. On March 13, 2019, the Company and the Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee entered into a settlement agreement to settle all existing and potential claims, including such avoidance claim. The Company has received $0.1 million with respect to the $1.0 million HAH Note.
Hardin & Jesson Action. On August 5, 2019, the Company received notification from Hardin & Jesson that they had executed a settlement agreement with the Company pursuant to an action filed in Sebastian County Circuit Court - Fort Smith Division, Arkansas by Hardin & Jesson on February 25, 2019, requesting financial documents from the Company’s predecessor issuer and seeking relief of outstanding amounts for legal services provided to the Company (and certain of its subsidiaries) in the State of Arkansas in relation to professional and general liability claims of approximately $0.5 million. On April 18, 2019, Hardin & Jesson amended their filing to correct their initial filing to clarify the claim is against the Company. On May 8, 2019, the Company provided a response denying the allegations. The settlement agreement provides for an agreed net outstanding liability of $0.3 million and provides for monthly payments of $13,888 beginning July 1, 2019, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the $0.3 million liability is paid in full. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report the Company has made five of the required payments, in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Ohio Attorney General Action. On October 27, 2016, the Ohio Attorney General (the “OAG”) filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio a complaint against The Pavilion Care Center, LLC, Hearth & Home of Greenfield, LLC (each a subsidiary of the Company), and certain other parties (including parties for which the Company provides or provided management services). The lawsuit alleges that defendants submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and further alleges that defendants (i) engaged in deception, (ii) willfully received Medicaid payments to which they were not entitled or in a greater amount than that to which they were entitled, and (iii) obtained payments under the Medicaid program to which they were not entitled pursuant to their provider agreements and applicable Medicaid rules and regulations. The OAG is seeking, among other things, triple the amount of damages proven at trial (plus interest) and not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each deceptive claim or falsification. As previously disclosed, the Company received a letter from the OAG in February 2014 offering to settle its claims against the defendants for improper Medicaid claims related to glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws for a payment of approximately $1.0 million. The Company responded to such letter in July 2014 denying the allegations and did not receive further communication from the OAG until the above referenced lawsuit was filed. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2017 in which it denied the allegations. An order granting a motion to stay this proceeding was granted in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio on July 12, 2017. Although there is no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact on the Company’s business or its financial condition, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend the claim.

Overview
Regional Health, through its subsidiaries, is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living. Our business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities to third-party tenants. As of September 30, 2019, the Company owned, leased, or managed for third parties 24 facilities primarily in the Southeast.
The operators of the Company’s facilities provide a range of health care and related services to patients and residents, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents.
On April 15, 2019, the Company entered into the PSA with MED providing for the sale of four of the Company’s skilled nursing facilities, with substantially all of the fixtures, equipment, furniture, leases and other assets relating to such facilities, on August 1, 2019, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary terms and conditions.
Under the PSA, the Company sold to MED: (i) on August 28, 2019, the Northwest Facility; and (ii) on August 1, 2019 (a) the Attalla Facility, (b) the College Park Facility, and (c) the Quail Creek Facility.
In connection with the Asset Sale: (i) MED paid to the Company a cash purchase price for the PSA Facilities equal to $28.5 million in the aggregate; (ii) the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million in sales commission expenses and $0.1 million for a building improvement credit; and (iii) the Company transferred approximately $0.1 million in lease security deposits to MED.
On August 1, 2019, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale to repay approximately $21.3 million to Pinecone to extinguish all indebtedness owed by the Company under the Pinecone Credit Facility, and to repay approximately $3.8 million to Congressional Bank to extinguish all indebtedness owed by the Company under the Quail Creek Credit Facility. On September 30, 2019, the Company and Pinecone entered into a waiver and release agreement, and the Company paid approximately $0.4 million to Pinecone to fully extinguish the Surviving Obligations under the Pinecone Credit Facility. For further information, see Note 10 – Discontinued Operations and Dispositions, Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)” in this Quarterly Report.
37
Going Concern and Overview
As of September 30, 2019, we had negative working capital of approximately $1.6 million which excludes $6.1 million of current operating lease obligation (with the corresponding right of use asset classified as long term). At September 30, 2019, we had $3.4 million in unrestricted cash and $55.8 million in indebtedness, including current maturities of $1.7 million. The current portion of such indebtedness includes senior debt and bond and mortgage indebtedness.
Prior to August 1, 2019, the continuation of our business was dependent upon our ability: (i) to comply with the terms and conditions under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement (as amended by the Pinecone Amendment); and (ii) to refinance or obtain further debt maturity extensions on the Quail Creek Credit Facility, neither of which was entirely within the Company’s control. Those factors had created substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company repaid the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility on August 1, 2019 using proceeds from the Asset Sale. If efforts to make such repayment had been unsuccessful, the Company would have been required to seek relief through other available alternatives, including a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might have been necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions, to our consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)” in this Quarterly Report for details regarding the Asset Sale. The Asset Sale, and the repayment of all amounts due under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Quail Creek Credit Facility, have addressed certain factors that had created substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As a result of such repayment, the Company is able to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.
The Company is undertaking measures to grow its operations, streamline its cost infrastructure and otherwise increase liquidity by: (i) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments, with such repayment to be funded through potentially expanding borrowing arrangements with certain lenders or raising capital through the issuance of securities after restructuring of the Company’s capital structure; (ii) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (iii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iv) replacing certain tenants who default on their lease payment terms; and (v) reducing other and general and administrative expenses.
Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and debt refinancing during the twelve months from the date of this filing. At September 30, 2019, the Company had $3.4 million in unrestricted cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of $2.2 million.

Divestitures
Effective January 15, 2019, and as contemplated by the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, the Company’s lease for the Omega Facilities (two facilities located in Georgia), which leases were due to expire August 2025 and which Omega Facilities the Company subleased to third party subtenants, were terminated by mutual consent of the Company and the lessor of the Omega Facilities.
In connection with the Omega Lease Termination, the Company transferred approximately $0.4 million of all its integral physical fixed assets in the Omega Facilities to the lessor and on January 28, 2019 received from the lessor gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, consisting of (i) a termination fee in the amount of $1.2 million and (ii) approximately $0.3 million to satisfy other net amounts due to the Company under the leases. The Company paid $1.2 million of such Omega Lease Termination proceeds to Pinecone on January 28, 2019, as required by the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, to reimburse Pinecone for approximately $0.3 million of certain unpaid expenses and partially prepay $0.9 million of the AdCare Holdco Loan.
The Omega Lease Termination contributed approximately $0.7 million income recorded in "Net loss attributable to Regional Health Properties, Inc. common stockholders" reported in the consolidated statement of operations for the period ended March 31, 2019.
On August 1, 2019, the Company and MED completed the sale of three of the PSA Facilities, together with substantially all of the fixtures, equipment, furniture, leases and other assets relating to such facilities, pursuant to the PSA, as amended. The aggregate purchase price paid to the Company for the three facilities was $26.1 million, net of $0.175 million from the first and second deposits held in escrow (the remaining earned $0.125 million deposit was applied to the remaining facility sale upon closing), and the Company paid a $0.4 million sale commission. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility in full.
On August 28, 2019, the Company, sold the Northwest Facility, together with substantially all of the fixtures, equipment, furniture, leases and other assets relating to the Northwest Facility, to MED, pursuant to the PSA, as amended. In connection with the sale, MED paid to the Company a cash purchase price for the Northwest Facility equal to $2.4 million, and the Company incurred approximately $0.1 million for a building improvement credit and sales commission expenses. For further information on the above transactions, see Note 9 – Notes Payable and Other Debt and Note 10 – Discontinued Operations and Dispositions to the Company's Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)”, of this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we review our judgments and estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to doubtful accounts, income taxes, stock compensation, intangible assets and loss contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, business knowledge and on various other assumptions that we believe 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.
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company, see Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)”, of this Quarterly Report.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Rental revenues—Rental revenue decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 7.7%, to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $5.0 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease reflects approximately $0.6 million related to the Omega Lease Termination, $0.5 million related to the sale of the PSA Facilities and approximately $0.1 million due to an amendment to the Wellington Subleases off-set by approximately $0.7 million rent received in the current year by affiliates of Aspire for the facilities operated by Ohio Beacon Affiliates in the prior year who stopped paying rent and the recognition of $0.1 million of property tax income as a result of the Company’s adoption on ASC 842. The Company recognizes all rental revenues on a straight line rent accrual basis, except with respect to the Ohio Beacon Affiliates in the prior year and the Mountain Trace Facility while operated by an affiliate of Symmetry for January and February 2019 and the PSA Facilities sold during the current quarter, for which rental revenue was recognized based on cash received.
Facility rent expense—Facility rent expense decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 24.5%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $2.2 million for the same period in 2018. The net decrease is due to the Omega Lease Termination and Covington Forbearance Agreement.
41
Depreciation and amortization—Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 29.2%, to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $1.1 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease is mainly due to equipment and computer related assets being fully depreciated and the cessation of depreciation and amortization on assets sold in the current quarter.
General and administrative—General and administrative costs decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 25.8%, to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $1.0 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease is due to approximately $0.4 million lower business consulting and legal expenses incurred in relation to the Pinecone forbearance agreements, a continued decrease in auditing, accounting and other expenses of approximately $0.1 million off-set by a non-recurring increase in employee related expenses of approximately $0.2 million.
Interest expense, net—Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 35.1%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $1.8 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease is due to the August 1, 2019, repayment of all amounts due under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Quail Creek Credit Facility.
Loss on extinguishment of debt—The loss from extinguishment of debt decreased by approximately $2.6 million, or 73.7%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $3.5 million for the same period in 2018. The current period expense is due to $0.4 million in settlement of the Surviving Obligations and $0.5 million in fees related to provisions in the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, the Pinecone Amendment and the full repayment of the Pinecone Credit Facility. The prior year expenses were due to a substantial change in debt terms pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone.
Gain on disposal of Assets— The gain on disposal of assets of $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, is due to the sale of four of the Company’s facilities.
Income (loss) Discontinued operations, net of tax— The income (loss) from discontinued operations decreased by $0.1 million, or 35.7%, to a benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with a benefit of $0.2 million expense for the same period in 2018. The decrease is due to approximately a $0.1 million workers compensation insurance prior year’s premium and deposit refund.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Rental revenues—Rental revenue decreased by approximately $1.0 million, or 6.1%, to $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $15.7 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease reflects approximately $1.7 million related to the Omega Lease Termination, $0.5 million related to the sale of the PSA Facilities, approximately $0.3 million due to an amendment to the Wellington Subleases and approximately $0.1 million in aggregate lower rent for our facilities where we have changed operator compared to the prior year, partially off-set by approximately $1.2 million rent received in the current year by affiliates of Aspire for the facilities operated by Ohio Beacon Affiliates in the prior year who stopped paying rent and the recognition of approximately $0.4 million of property tax income as a result of the Company’s adoption on ASC 842. The Company recognizes all rental revenues on a straight line rent accrual basis, except with respect to the Ohio Beacon Affiliates in the prior year and the Mountain Trace Facility while operated by an affiliate of Symmetry for January and February 2019 and the PSA Facilities held for sale during the current quarter, for which rental revenue was recognized based on cash received.
Facility rent expense—Facility rent expense decreased by approximately $1.5 million, or 23.1%, to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $6.5 million for the same period in 2018. The net decrease is due to the Omega Lease Termination and Covington Forbearance Agreement.
Depreciation and amortization—Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 24.1%, to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $3.5 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease is mainly due to equipment and computer related assets being fully depreciated and the cessation of depreciation and amortization on assets sold in the current quarter.
General and administrative—General and administrative costs decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 7.3%, to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $2.8 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease is due to approximately $0.3 million lower business consulting and legal expenses incurred in relation to the Pinecone forbearance agreements, a continued decrease in auditing, accounting and other expenses of approximately $0.1 million, off-set by a non-recurring increase in employee related expenses of approximately $0.2 million.
42
Provision for doubtful accounts—Provision for doubtful accounts expense decreased by approximately $4.1 million, to a benefit of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $3.9 million for the same period in 2018. The current year gain is related to the collection of the Ohio Beacon Affiliates lease termination payment plan, while the prior year expense is due to the Ohio Beacon Affiliates notifying the Company of their plan to cease operating our properties on June 30, 2018 and, the Company recording allowances for balances owed by the Ohio Beacon Affiliates and Mountain Trace Tenant, and the associated write-off of the straight-line rent receivable. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company released all of the remaining provision for the Ohio Beacon Affiliates’ payment plan due to their timely monthly payments, which was off-set by fully providing for the outstanding balances on the Symmetry Tenants’ payment plan due to non-payment. The Company had also recorded an allowance of approximately $2.0 million on a $3.0 million note issued to Skyline in relation to their purchase of nine former facilities of the Company located in Arkansas, due to Skyline’s bankruptcy.
Interest expense, net—Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 1.3%, to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $4.6 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease is due to the August 1, 2019, repayment of all amounts due under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Quail Creek Credit Facility.
Loss on extinguishment of debt—The loss from extinguishment of debt decreased by approximately $1.5 million, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $4.0 million for the same period in 2018. The current period expense is due to the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, the repayment of all amounts due under the Pinecone Credit Facility and related expenses amounting to approximately $2.1 million and $0.4 million in settlement of the Surviving Obligations, while the prior period expense is due to approximately $3.6 million due to the substantial change in debt terms pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone, and pre-payment penalties of $0.2 million and $0.2 million in expensed deferred financing fees from the repayment of debt in connection with the Pinecone Credit Facility.
Gain on disposal of Assets— The gain on disposal of assets of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, is comprised of $6.4 million due to the sale of four of the Company’s facilities in the current quarter and $0.7 million from the Omega Lease Termination in the first quarter.
Income (loss) Discontinued operations, net of tax— The income (loss) from discontinued operations decreased by $0.6 million, or 269.8%, to a benefit of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $0.2 million expense for the same period in 2018. The decrease is due to net favorable adjustments to bad debt expense and lower professional and general legal expenses as the Company nears completion of its legacy professional and general liability claims and Transition vendor settlements and approximately a $0.1 million workers compensation insurance prior year’s premium and deposit refund.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current Maturities of Debt
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had total current liabilities of $14.1 million and total current assets of $6.4 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $1.6 million after excluding $6.1 million of current operating lease obligation (with the corresponding right of use asset classified as long term). Included in current liabilities at September 30, 2019 is the $1.7 million current portion of the Company’s $55.8 million in indebtedness. The current portion of such indebtedness is comprised of senior debt, bond and mortgage indebtedness and other debt. The Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately $1.7 million during the next twelve-month period, which includes approximately $1.5 million of routine debt service amortization, $0.1 million payments on other non-routine debt and $0.1 million payment of bond debt. On August 1, 2019, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale to repay approximately $21.3 million to Pinecone to extinguish all indebtedness owed by the Company under the Pinecone Credit Facility, and to repay approximately $3.8 million to Congressional Bank to extinguish all indebtedness owed by the Company under the Quail Creek Credit Facility. For further information see Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions to the Company's Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)”, of this Quarterly Report.
On February 15, 2018, the Company entered into the Pinecone Credit Facility with Pinecone, with an aggregate principal amount of $16.25 million, which refinanced existing mortgage debt in an aggregate amount of $8.7 million on the Pinecone Facilities, and provided additional surplus cash flow of $6.3 million for general corporate needs (see Note 9 – Notes Payable and Other Debt, Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report) after deducting approximately $1.25 million in debt issuance costs and prepayment penalties. Regional Health was a guarantor of the Pinecone Credit Facility. Certain of the notes under the Pinecone Credit Facility were also guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Regional Health. The surplus cash flow from the Pinecone Credit Facility was used to fund $2.4 million of self-insurance reserves for professional and general liability claims with respect to 25 professional and general liability actions, and to fund repayment of $1.5 million in convertible debt. The remaining $2.4 million in surplus cash proceeds from the Pinecone Credit Facility was used for general corporate purposes.
43
On May 10, 2018, Pinecone sent the Company a default letter (the “Default Letter”), notifying the Company that it was in default under certain financial covenants of the Pinecone Credit Facility. On May 18, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered the Original Forbearance Agreement with respect to the specified events of default set forth therein, pursuant to which, among other things, additional fees in the amount of $0.4 million were added to the outstanding principal balance under the Pinecone Credit Facility. The forbearance period under the Original Forbearance Agreement terminated on July 6, 2018, because the Company did not satisfy conditions in the Original Forbearance Agreement that required the Company to enter into an agreement with Pinecone to support a transaction or series of transactions to remedy the defaults specified in the Default Letter and the Original Forbearance Agreement.
On September 6, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to the Specified Defaults under the Pinecone Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone amended certain provisions of the Pinecone Credit Facility. Such amendments, among other things: (i) removed the restriction on prepaying the loans during the 13 month-period after the Closing Date; (ii) provided a 30-day cure period for certain events of default and a 15-day cure period for certain failures to provide information or materials pursuant to the Pinecone Credit Facility; (iii) increased the finance fee payable on repayment or acceleration of the loans, depending on the time at which the loans are repaid ($0.25 million prior to December 31, 2018, and $0.5 million thereafter); and (iv) increased the outstanding principal balance owed by (a) approximately $0.7 million to reimburse Pinecone for its accrued and unpaid expenses and to pay outstanding interest payments for prior interest periods and (b) $1.5 million fee described as a non-refundable payment of additional interest. During the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, the interest rate reverted from the default rate of 18.5% per annum to the ongoing rate of 13.5% per annum.
The New Forbearance Agreement terminated on December 31, 2018, because the Company did not satisfy certain conditions set forth therein.
On December 31, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the A&R New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to the Specified Defaults under the Pinecone Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone amended certain provisions of the Pinecone Credit Facility. In addition Pinecone consented to the Omega Lease Termination. The leases of the Omega Facilities were to expire in August 2025, and the A&R New Forbearance Agreement required that the Omega Lease Termination be completed by February 1, 2019.
Pursuant to the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, the Company reimbursed Pinecone by February 1, 2019, for certain unpaid expenses and prepaid the AdCare Holdco Loan. In connection with the Omega Lease Termination, the Company realized gross proceeds (including a $1.2 million termination fee payable by the landlord to the Company, which approximated future forgone cash flow from the Company’s related sublease) to contribute to the Company’s required payment to Pinecone of approximately $1.4 million, of which $0.2 million was paid to Pinecone on January 4, 2019, for Pinecone’s expenses and the balance of $1.2 million was paid on January 28, 2019, of which $0.3 million was for Pinecone’s expenses, which included a 1% prepayment penalty, and the balance of $0.9 million was applied to pay down the principal amount of the AdCare Holdco Loan, which at March 31, 2019, was approximately $4.5 million.
The A&R New Forbearance Agreement amended the Loan Agreement to, among other things: (i) add a $0.35 million fee (paid in kind) to the loans on a pro rata basis; (ii) provide for the PIK Rate (3.5%), with such interest to be paid in kind in arrears by increasing the outstanding principal amount of loans held by the Pinecone on the first day of each month; provided that interest accruing at the PIK Rate on each loan and any overdue interest on each loan was paid in cash (a) on the maturity of the loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise, or (b) in connection with any repayment or prepayment of the loans; and (iii) modify the default rate of interest to add an additional 2.5% to the PIK Rate, in addition to the ongoing rate of 13.5%. During the forbearance period under the A&R New Forbearance Agreement, the interest rate paid in cash on the first (1st) day of each month was the ongoing rate of 13.5% per annum. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions, to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)” for further information on the Omega Lease Termination and subsequent AdCare Holdco Loan partial repayment completed on January 28, 2019. The forbearance period under the A&R New Forbearance Agreement expired according to its terms on March 14, 2019.
44
On March 29, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement (as amended by the Pinecone Amendment) with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to the Specified Defaults under the Pinecone Credit Facility. The forbearance period under the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement commenced on March 29, 2019, and could have extended as late as October 1, 2019, unless the forbearance period was earlier terminated as a result of specified termination events, including a default or event of default under the Pinecone Credit Facility (other than any Specified Defaults) or any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to comply with the terms of the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s obligation to progress with an Asset Sale (as defined below) in accordance with the timeline specified therein. See Note -9 Notes Payable and Other Debt located in Part I. Item 1, “Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)” in this Quarterly Report, for details of an amendment to the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement with respect to such timeline.
Pursuant to the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone amended certain provisions of the Pinecone Credit Facility. The Second A&R Forbearance Agreement required, among other things (i) that the Company pursue and complete Asset Sale which resulted in the repayment in full of all of the Company’s indebtedness to Pinecone and, in connection therewith, the Company pay not less than $0.3 million and not more than $0.55 million in forbearance fees, as well as certain other expenses of Pinecone, or (ii) Pinecone’s other disposition of the Pinecone Credit Facility as contemplated by the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement. Additionally the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement accelerated the previously disclosed 3% finance “tail fee”, 1% prepayment penalty, and 1% breakup fee so that such fees and penalties became part of the principal as of April 15, 2019.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults), or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone could have declared the entire unpaid principal balance under the Pinecone Credit Facility, together with all accrued interest and other amounts payable to Pinecone thereunder, immediately due and payable. Subject to the terms of the Pinecone Credit Facility, Pinecone could have foreclosed on the collateral. The collateral included, among other things, the Pinecone Facilities and all assets of the borrowers owning the Pinecone Facilities, the leases associated with the Pinecone Facilities and all revenue generated by the Pinecone Facilities, and rights under a promissory note in the amount of $5.0 million, issued by Regional Health pursuant to the Pinecone Credit Facility in favor of one of its subsidiaries, which subsidiary is a borrower and guarantor under the Pinecone Credit Facility.
In addition, the equity interests in substantially all of Regional Health’s direct and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries were pledged to Pinecone as part of the collateral (the “Pledged Subsidiaries”). The assets and operations of the Pledged Subsidiaries constitute substantially all of the Company’s assets and operations.
The forbearance period under the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement remained unchanged by the Pinecone Amendment and may have continued until October 1, 2019, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Second A&R Forbearance Agreement. The Company repaid the Pinecone Credit Facility on August 1, 2019 from the proceeds of the Asset Sale. For further information see Note – 9 Notes Payable and Other Debt and Dispositions and Note – 10 Discontinued Operations located in Part I. Item 1, “Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)” in this Quarterly Report.
Debt Covenant Compliance
As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the various covenants for the Company’s outstanding credit related instruments.
Changes in Operational Liquidity
On August 1, 2019 and August 28, 2019, the Company completed the Asset Sale. The sale of the Quail Creek Facility, the Attalla Facility and the College Park Facility occurred on August 1, 2019, and the sale of the Northwest Facility occurred on August 28, 2019. In connection with the Asset Sale: (i) MED paid to the Company a cash purchase price for the PSA Facilities equal to $28.5 million in the aggregate; (ii) the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million in sales commission expenses and $0.1 million for a building improvement credit; and (iii) the Company transferred approximately $0.1 million in lease security deposits to MED. The expected 2019 annualized rent receivable for the sold PSA Facilities was approximately $3.0 million and estimated 2019 annualized interest expense for the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility, paid off on August 1, 2019, from the Asset Sale proceeds, was approximately $3.8 million. See Note – 10 Discontinued Operations and Dispositions, located in Part I. Item 1, “Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)” in this Quarterly Report.
45
Series A Preferred Dividend Suspension
On June 8, 2018, the Board indefinitely suspended quarterly dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. Such dividends are currently in arrears with respect to the fourth quarter of 2017, all quarters of 2018, and the first, second and third quarters of 2019. The Board plans to revisit the dividend payment policy with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock on an ongoing basis. The Board believes that the dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional funds to meet its ongoing liquidity needs. As the Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for more than four dividend periods, the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock for the fifth and future missed dividend periods has increased to 12.875%, which is equivalent to $3.22 per share each year, commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment (October 1, 2018) and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash.
Evaluation of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, the Company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or not the entity’s current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the entity to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the entity will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In applying applicable accounting guidance, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months, as well as the Company’s recurring business operating expenses.
As the Company fully repaid the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility on August 1, 2019 from the proceeds of the Asset Sale, the Company is able to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.
For additional information regarding the Company’s liquidity, see Note 3 – Liquidity and Note 9 – Notes Payable and other debt, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”, of this Quarterly Report.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Net cash provided by operating activities—continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $2.2 million, consisting primarily of our income from operations less changes in working capital, and noncash charges (primarily gain on disposal of assets, depreciation and amortization, loss on debt extinguishment, and lease revenue in excess of cash received). The $0.8 million increase primarily reflects the decrease in interest payments, legal and consulting expenses related to the Pinecone Credit Facility and increase in bad debt collections partially offset by lower rent receipts.
Net cash used in operating activities—discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $1.0 million, excluding non-cash proceeds and payments. This amount was to fund legal and associated settlement costs related to our legacy professional and general liability claims.
Net cash provided by investing activities—continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $3.6 million. This is the result of receipt of approximately $2.6 million net proceeds (excluding non-cash proceeds and payments) from the sale of the PSA Facilities in the current quarter and the $1.2 million Omega Lease Termination fee offset by $0.2 million capital expenditures on building improvements.
Net cash used in financing activities—continuing operations was approximately $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding non-cash proceeds and payments, this is the result of routine repayments of approximately $2.6 million of other existing debt obligations, $0.3 million repayment of bonds principal and approximately $1.3 million in relation to expenses and fees related to Pinecone forbearance agreements, repayment of the Pinecone Credit Facility and settlement of the Surviving Obligations.
Net cash used in financing activities—discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was for Medicaid and vendor note payments.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Net cash provided by operating activities—continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $1.3 million, consisting primarily of our loss from operations less changes in working capital, and noncash charges (primarily bad debt expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization and rent revenue in excess of cash received). The $3.2 million decrease compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily reflects the non-payment of rent related to the Ohio Beacon Facilities (approximately $1.8 million), approximately $0.7 million (of which $0.2 million has been forgiven) of rent in arrears related to Symmetry Tenants and approximately $0.9 million increase in interest payments, partially offset by miscellaneous other amounts netting to $0.2 million.
Net cash used in operating activities—discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $1.3 million, excluding non-cash proceeds and payments. This amount was to fund legal and associated settlement costs related to our legacy professional and general liability claims.
Net cash used in investing activities—continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $0.3 million. This is the result of capital expenditures on building improvements for three of the Company’s properties.
Net cash provided by financing activities—continuing operations was approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding non-cash proceeds and payments, this is primarily the result of $2.4 million new financing from Pinecone offset by routine repayments of approximately $1.7 million of other existing debt obligations.
Net cash used in financing activities—discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $0.2 million payments for Medicaid and vendor notes.
Notes Payable and Other Debt
The Company repaid the Pinecone Credit Facility and Quail Creek Credit Facility on August 1, 2019, from the proceeds of the Asset Sale. For information regarding the Company’s debt financings, see Note 9 – Notes Payable and Other Debt, to the Company’s Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)”, of this Quarterly Report and Note 9 – Notes Payable and Other Debt to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Annual Report.
47
Our operations could be adversely affected if we experience significant delays in receipt of rental income from our tenants.
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company reserved for approximately $0.7 million and approximately $1.4 million, respectively, of receivables. Accounts receivable, net totaled $0.9 million at September 30, 2019 and $1.0 million at December 31, 2018.
Operating Leases
For information regarding the Company’s operating leases, see Note 7 – Leases, to the Company’s Notes to consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)”, of this Quarterly Report, and Note 7 – Leases located in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, included in the Annual Report.
Disclosure in response to Item 3. of Form 10-Q is not required to be provided by smaller reporting companies.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
48
The Company is a defendant in various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to patients. Although the Company settles cases from time to time when settlement can be achieved on a reasonable basis, the Company vigorously defends any matter in which it believes the claims lack merit and the Company has a reasonable chance to prevail at trial or in arbitration. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and there is risk in the Company's strategy of aggressively defending these cases. There is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Although arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business, certain of these matters are described below under "Professional and General Liability Claims."
Except as set forth in this Item 1, Legal Proceedings, there have been no new material legal proceedings and no material developments in the legal proceedings reported in Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Annual Report. For further information with respect to legal proceedings, see Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies, to the Company’s Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)”, of this Quarterly Report.
Professional and General Liability Claims. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is a defendant in a total of 12 professional and general liability actions, primarily commenced on behalf of three of our former patients and nine of our current or prior tenant’s former patients. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients who were allegedly injured or died while patients of our facilities due to professional negligence or understaffing. One such action, on behalf of the Company’s former patient, is covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage and nine of such actions relate to events which occurred after the Company transitioned the operations of the facilities in question to a third-party operator and which are subject to such operators’ indemnification obligations in favor of the Company.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, three professional and general liability actions were dismissed, one of which was indemnified by our former tenant and one of which was insured. Additionally the Company settled one professional and general liability action (our former patient), for a total of $200,000, payable in 12 monthly installments of $14,500 with an initial payment of $26,000 commencing November 2019.
The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $0.8 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Additionally as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, was reserved for settlement amounts in “Accounts payable” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For additional information regarding the Company’s self-insurance reserve, see Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies included in the Annual Report.
Hardin & Jesson Action. On August 5, 2019, the Company received notification from Hardin & Jesson that they had executed a settlement agreement with the Company pursuant to an action filed in Sebastian County Circuit Court - Fort Smith Division, Arkansas by Hardin & Jesson requesting financial documents from the Company’s predecessor issuer and seeking relief of outstanding amounts for legal services provided to the Company (and certain of its subsidiaries) in the State of Arkansas in relation to professional and general liability claims of approximately $0.5 million. On April 18, 2019, Hardin & Jesson amended their filing to correct their initial filing to clarify the claim is against the Company. On May 8, 2019, the Company provided a response denying the allegations. The settlement agreement provides for an agreed net outstanding liability of $0.3 million and provides for monthly payments of $13,888 beginning July 1, 2019, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the $0.3 million liability is paid in full. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report the Company has made five of the required payments, in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
For a detailed description of certain risk factors that could affect our business, operations and financial condition, see Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors, included in the Annual Report, as supplemented and modified by the risk factors set forth below in this Item 1A. The risk factors described in the Annual Report and this Quarterly Report (collectively, the “Risk Factors”) do not describe all risks applicable to our business, and we intend it only as a summary of certain material factors. The Risk Factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report because the Risk Factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock could decline.
49
Risks Related to Our Capital Structure
We have substantial indebtedness, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $55.8 million in indebtedness. We may also obtain additional short-term and long-term debt to meet future capital needs, subject to certain restrictions under our existing indebtedness, which would increase our total debt. Our substantial amount of debt could have negative consequences to our business. For example, it could:
|
• |
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business; |
|
• |
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flows from operations to interest and principal payments on outstanding debt, thereby limiting the availability of cash flow for dividends and other general corporate purposes; |
|
• |
require us to maintain certain debt coverage and other financial ratios at specified levels, thereby reducing our financial flexibility; |
|
• |
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations; |
|
• |
expose us to increases in interest rates for our variable rate debt; |
|
• |
limit our ability to borrow additional funds on favorable terms, or at all, for working capital, debt service requirements, expansion of our business or other general corporate purposes; |
|
• |
limit our ability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity on the same or more favorable terms, or at all; |
|
• |
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; |
|
• |
limit our ability to make acquisitions or take advantage of business opportunities as they arise; |
|
• |
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared with our competitors that have less debt; and |
|
• |
limit our ability to borrow additional funds, even when necessary to maintain adequate liquidity. |
In addition, our ability to borrow funds in the future will depend in part on the satisfaction of the covenants in our debt agreements. If we are unable to satisfy the financial covenants contained in those agreements, or are unable to generate cash sufficient to make required debt payments, the lenders and other parties to those arrangements could accelerate the maturity of some or all of our outstanding indebtedness.
We depend on affiliates of C.R Management, Wellington and Aspire for a significant portion of our revenues and any inability or unwillingness by such entities to satisfy their obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on us.
As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report, our 21 properties (excluding the three facilities that are managed by us) are operated by a total of 21 separate tenants, with each of our tenants being affiliated with one of seven local or regionally-focused operators. We refer to our tenants who are affiliated with the same operator as a group of affiliated tenants. Each of our operators operate (through a group of affiliated tenants) between one and six of our facilities, with our most significant operators, C.R Management, Wellington and Aspire, each operating (through a group of affiliated tenants) six, two and five facilities, respectively. We, therefore depend, on tenants who are affiliated with C.R Management, Wellington and Aspire for a significant portion of our revenues. We cannot assure you that the tenants affiliated with C.R Management, Wellington and Aspire will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to make rental payments to us or to otherwise satisfy their obligations under the applicable leases and subleases, and any inability or unwillingness by such tenants to do so could have a material adverse effect on us.
50
None.
The Board suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, commencing with the fourth quarter of 2017, and determined to continue such suspension indefinitely in June 2018. No dividends were declared or paid with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock for such dividend periods. As a result of such suspension, the Company has $16.6 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears, whose annual dividend rate has increased to 12.875% commencing with the fourth quarter of 2018, with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report. See Note 11 – Common and Preferred Stock, “Preferred Stock Offerings and Dividends”, to the Company’s Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)”, of this Quarterly Report.
Not applicable.
