NOTE 1.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Regional Health Properties, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Regional Health” or “Regional” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “we”), 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 in turn 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 March 31, 2020, 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 skilled nursing facilities (which the Company owns), and subleased nine skilled nursing facilities (which the Company leases), to third-party tenants; (ii) leased two assisted living facilities (which the Company owns) 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 in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplemental Data” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 27, 2020 (the “Annual Report”), for a more detailed description of the Company’s leases.

 

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.

 

Regional Health is successor to, and a former wholly owned subsidiary of, AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”). On September 29, 2017, AdCare merged (the “Merger”) with and into Regional Health, which was formed as a subsidiary of AdCare for the purpose of the Merger, with Regional Health continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. 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 Annual Report.

When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), unless otherwise specifically stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms:

 

“Board” or “Board of Directors” refers to the Board of Directors of AdCare with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to the Board of Directors of Regional Health with respect to the period after the Merger;

 

“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;

 

“Series A Preferred Stock” refers to AdCare’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to Regional Health’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with respect to the period after the Merger; and

 

“Charter” refers to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Regional Health.

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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

You should read 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, 2019, 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 months ended March 31, 2020, there were no material changes to the Company’s policies.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the respiratory illness caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the United States to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to protect its spread have adversely affected our business in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and we expect will continue to adversely affect our business in the quarter ending June 30, 2020 and beyond, for a variety of reasons, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Our tenants’ operations have been, and we expect will continue to be, materially and adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to, among other things, decreased occupancy and increased operating costs (including costs due to the implementation of additional safety protocols and procedures, purchases of personal protective equipment, increased staffing to allow facilities to adhere to social distancing and infection control protocols, and premium pay and incentive pay for the staff), which may affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease agreements.

The COVID-19 pandemic also could cause temporary closures of nursing facilities, operated by our tenants, which also may affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease agreements. In addition, our tenants’ operations could be further disrupted if any of their employees, or the employees of their vendors, have, or are suspected of having, COVID-19. This could cause, and in some cases have caused, our tenants or their vendors to experience staffing shortages, and this could potentially require our tenants and their vendors to close parts of or entire facilities, distribution centers, or other buildings to disinfect any affected areas.

We could also be adversely affected if government authorities impose upon our tenants, or their vendors, certain restrictions due to COVID-19. These restrictions may be in the form of mandatory closures, requested voluntary closures, bans on new admissions, restricted operations, or restrictions on the importation of necessary equipment or supplies which may adversely affect our tenants’ operations and their ability to make rental payments to us. In addition, family members may elect to keep nursing facility residents at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reducing our tenants’ revenue. Currently, a number of our tenants have stopped admitting new patients due to COVID-19 infections and hence their revenues have declined.

As a result of COVID-19, our tenants may face lawsuits for alleged negligence associated with their responses to the emergency. The costs associated with defending, settling, or paying damages from such claims could negatively impact our tenants’ operating budgets and affect their ability to meet their obligations under our leases. Further, we may be subject to increased claims brought against us in lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of our alleged actions or the alleged actions of our tenants for which they have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. An unfavorable resolution of any such pending or future litigation could materially adversely affect us.

If our tenants are unable to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease obligations, whether due to the tenants’ decrease in revenues or otherwise, then, in some cases, we may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place.

While the Company has received most of its rental receipts from tenants through the date of this Quarterly Report, there are a number of uncertainties the Company faces as it considers the potential impact of COVID-19 on its business, including the length of census disruption, elevated COVID-19 operating costs related to personal protection equipment, cleaning supplies, virus testing and increased overtime due to staff illness and the extent to which federal and state funding support will offset these incremental costs for our tenants. We also do not know the number of facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19, and while we have requested reporting from operators of their numbers of cases and CMS has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases, which could result in a delay in reporting. We expect to see continued increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and increased monitoring of employees, guests and other individuals entering facilities; however, we do not yet know if future reimbursement rates will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring.

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.

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 one facility in North Carolina (until operator transition on March 1, 2019) was recorded on a cash basis during the three months ended March 31, 2019. For additional information with respect to such facilities, see Note 7 – Leases.

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.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company reserved for approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables. Accounts receivable, net, totaled $1.4 million at March 31, 2020 and $1.0 million at December 31, 2019.

Pre-paid expenses and other

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in pre-paid expenses and other, primarily for directors’ and officers’ insurance, NYSE American annual fees and mortgage insurance premiums.

 

Other expense, net

 

The Company has retained professional services to assist with the restructure of the Company’s capital structure.

Leases and Leasehold Improvements

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment in the normal course of business. At the inception of each lease, the Company performs an evaluation to determine whether the lease should be classified as an operating lease or capital lease. As of March 31, 2020, all of the Company’s leased facilities are accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases that contain scheduled rent increases, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-02, Leases, as codified in 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. 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 statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Additionally, 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 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.

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.

In addition, the Company maintains certain other insurance programs, including commercial general liability, property, casualty, directors’ and officers’ liability, crime and employment practices liability.

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.

 

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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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:

NOTE 3.

LIQUIDITY

Overview

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 March 31, 2020, the Company had $4.0 million in unrestricted cash, $7.5 million current assets and $13.8 million in current liabilities and negative working capital of approximately $0.1 million, which excludes $6.2 million of current operating lease obligation. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of $0.3 million and anticipates continued positive cash flow from operations in the future.

Series A Preferred Dividend Suspension

On June 8, 2018, the Board indefinitely suspended quarterly dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2020, 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 $21.1 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears. 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, in part, 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.

Debt

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $55.0 million in indebtedness. The Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately $1.7 million during the next twelve-month period which include approximately $1.6 million of routine debt service amortization, and a $0.1 million payment of bond debt.

Debt Covenant Compliance

As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the various covenants for the Company’s outstanding credit related instruments.

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, the Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months as well as the Company’s recurring business operating expenses.

 

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.

NOTE 7.

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, Georgia and Suwanee, Georgia. The Atlanta office space is subleased to a third-party entity.

As of March 31, 2020, 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 7.6 years.

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 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 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 terminated 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, the Company’s leases for the Omega Facilities were terminated by mutual consent of the Company and the lessor of the Omega Facilities. For further information, see Note 10 - Discontinued Operations and Dispositions.

Wellington. Two of the Company’s eight Georgia facilities, leased under a prime lease, are subleased to affiliates of Wellington Health Services under agreements dated January 31, 2015, as subsequently amended (the “Wellington Subleases”).

Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators

As of March 31, 2020, 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 7.7 years.

Aspire. On November 30, 2018, the Company subleased five facilities located in Ohio 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 facilities (the “Aspire Facilities”) as subtenant. The Aspire Subleases became effective on December 1, 2018 and are structured as triple net leases. 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 March 31, 2020.

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.  

 

On January 28, 2019, the Company reached a final agreement pursuant to an agreement signed on September 20, 2018, 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, 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 year ended December 31, 2019, the Company expensed approximately $0.4 million allowance against the outstanding balance of payment plan receivables. On February 28, 2019, the Company and the Mountain Trace Tenant mutually terminated the lease with respect to the Mountain Trace Facility and operations at the facility were transferred to Vero Health X, LLC (“Vero Health”).

17


 

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 of Peach Health Group, LLC (“Peach Health”) (the affiliates collectively, “Peach Health Sublessee”), which provided that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of and operate three facilities located in Georgia (the “Peach Facilities”) as subtenant.

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 March 31, 2020, there was approximately $1.3 million outstanding on the Peach Line.

Future minimum lease receivables, At March 31, 2020, from the Company’s facilities leased and subleased to third party tenants for each of the next five years ending December 31, are as follows:

For the seven skilled nursing facilities, the Company has term loans insured 100% by HUD with financial institutions. The loans are secured by, among other things, an assignment of all rents paid under any existing or future leases and rental agreements with respect to the underlying facility. 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. Pursuant to the CARES Act, up to three months of debt service payments for six of the credit facilities can be made from our restricted cash reserves.

(c)

For the three skilled nursing facilities, the Company has term loans insured 70% to 80% by the USDA with financial institutions. The loans have an annual renewal fee for the USDA guarantee of 0.25% of the guaranteed portion.

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

22


 

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 March 31, 2020, 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.

Stock Incentive Plan

The AdCare Health Systems, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Stock Incentive Plan”), was assumed by Regional Health pursuant to the Merger.  As a result of the Merger, all rights to acquire shares of AdCare common stock under any AdCare equity incentive compensation plan have been converted into rights to acquire Regional Health common stock pursuant to the terms of the equity incentive compensation plans and other related documents, if any.  The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan expires March 28, 2021 and provides for a maximum of 168,950 shares of common stock to be issued. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of incentive or nonqualified stock options and the granting of restricted stock. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board. The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the employees to whom awards will be made, the amounts of the awards, and the other terms and conditions of the awards. As of March 31, 2020, the number of securities remaining available for future issuance is 19,421.

In addition to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company grants stock warrants to officers, directors, employees and certain consultants to the Company from time to time as determined by the Board and, when appropriate, the Compensation Committee.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no issuances of common stock options or warrants.

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 March 31, 2020, 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 a 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, 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 March 31, 2020, the Company is a defendant in a total of 10 professional and general liability actions, of which one was commenced on behalf of one of our former patients and nine were commenced on behalf 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 due to professional negligence or understaffing at the applicable facility. Only the action commenced on behalf of our former patient, is covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages in such action would be excluded from such coverage. The nine other actions commenced on behalf of our current or prior tenant’s former patients all relate to events which occurred after the Company transitioned the operations of the facilities in question to a third-party operator (and of which five such actions relate to events which occurred after the Company sold such facilities) and 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 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 and sale of the facility, 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 action alleges Regional is complicit as they sold the facility to Skyline. 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 March 31, 2020, the Company executed a settlement on January 29, 2020, in compromise of a complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, in the State of Arkansas, by a former patient at one of our facilities, against the Company on May 16, 2017. The plaintiff alleged medical negligence and injury. The settlement, in exchange for dismissal of the case with prejudice, is in the total amount of $40,000, to be paid in four monthly installments commencing February 2020. 

24


 

On January 30, 2020, Robert E. Rack filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, State of Arkansas against Joseph and Rosie Schwartz (who controlled Skyline), a subsidiary of the Company and CIBC Bancorp USA, Inc., on behalf of a decreased patient who received care at a facility known as the Woodland Hills facility located in Arkansas, after the date of the Transition and after the sale of the facility to Skyline (the “Rack Matter”). The complaint alleges medical injury and improper care and treatment and that the Company is complicit in the medical injury and improper care because it sold the facility to Skyline. The plaintiff 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. For further developments in this action and for one other action filed against the Company see Note 15 – Subsequent Events.

The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $0.4 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Additionally as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $0.3 million and $0.3 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.

 

Ohio Attorney General Action. On January 15, 2020, Ohio Attorney General (the “OAG”) voluntarily dismissed with prejudice all claims pending against the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and certain other parties, in the action they filed on October 27, 2016, in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio. The lawsuit alleged that defendants submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and further alleged 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 sought, 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.

NOTE 15.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the SEC.

PPP Loan

During May 2020, the Company  received approval for the Company to receive the proceeds of a promissory note dated April 16, 2020 (the “PPP Loan Agreement”), entered into between Adcare Administrative Services, LLC (“Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Greater Nevada Credit Union, as lender (the “Lender). Lender made this loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), created by Section 1102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and governed by the CARES Act, Section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act, any rules or guidance that has been issued by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) implementing the PPP and acting as guarantor, or any other applicable loan program requirements, as defined in 13 CFR § 120.10, as amended from time to time (collectively “PPP Loan Program Requirements”). Pursuant to the PPP Loan Agreement, the Lender will make a loan to the Borrower with an aggregate principal amount of $228,700 (the “PPP Loan”).

The maturity date of the PPP Loan (the “Maturity Date), will be two years from the date of the disbursement of the PPP Loan (the “Effective Date”). As of the date of filing the Company is still awaiting disbursement of the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to one percent (1%) per annum and interest will accrue from the Effective Date. PPP Loan payments will be deferred for the first six (6) months from the Effective Date. Subject to any PPP Loan forgiveness granted by the CARES Act, Borrower will subsequently pay eighteen (18) fully amortized monthly consecutive principal and interest

25


 

payments for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid, with the first PPP Loan payment due on the date that is seven months after the Effective Date. The proceeds of the PPP Loan shall be used for the following purposes only: (i) payroll costs as defined by the CARES Act, (ii) costs related to the continuation of group health care benefits during periods of paid sick, medical, or family leave, and insurance premiums; (iii) mortgage interest payments, (iv) rent payments, (v) utility payments, (vi) interest payments on any other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, and/or (vii) refinancing a SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan made between January 31, 2020 and April 3, 2020.

The Loans and the related documentation contain customary events of default, including: (i) any representation or warranty made, or financial or other information provided, by the Borrower under the PPP Loan Agreement being false or misleading in any material respect; (ii) the failure by any Borrower to make required payments; (iii) the failure by the Borrower to perform or comply with certain agreements; and (iv) the dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees, expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

Pursuant to the CARES Act, the loan may be forgiven by the SBA. The amount of loan forgiveness is determined by and is subject to the sole approval of the SBA. The amount of loan forgiveness may be reduced if loan proceeds are spent inappropriately. To receive loan forgiveness, borrower must apply for loan forgiveness and provide documentation as requested by the SBA. There will be no loan forgiveness without Borrower’s submission of the proper application and documentation to Lender to include all SBA requirements. Not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs.

Professional and General Liability

On May 19, 2020 a medical negligence action was filed in the State Court of Chatham County, Georgia, by Anthony Bowan against affiliates of Peach Health and the Company, alleging wrongful death of a patient, at the facility known as Oceanside Health and Rehab operated by affiliates of Peach Health. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified compensatory damages for the actual losses and unspecified punitive damages. The Company is indemnified by affiliates of Peach Health in this action.

On May 26, 2020 in the United States District Court Eastern District of Arkansas Central Division the court dismissed the action filed against the Company on January 30, 2020, on the grounds that a company who simply sold a facility which concluded the company’s relationship with the buyer is not grounds to expose the Company to liability related to the buyers later actions. Such action had previously been dismissed in the County court on May 5, 2020, was for a medical injury and improper care and treatment was filed in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, State of Arkansas on behalf of a deceased patient, who received care after the Transition and sale of the facility, against Joseph and Rosie Schwartz who controlled Skyline, a subsidiary of the Company and CIBC Bancorp USA, Inc. The plaintiff (Rack) is seeking unspecified compensatory damages for the actual losses and unspecified punitive damages. The lawyer in this action may appeal the federal dismissal for a time after the case against Joseph and Rosie Schwartz is resolved.

On June 1, 2020 a wrongful death action was filed in the State Court of Chatham County, Georgia, by Sandi Postle against affiliates of Peach Health and the Company, alleging wrongful death of a patient, at the facility known as Oceanside Health and Rehab operated by affiliates of Peach Health. The plaintiff is requesting an amount in excess of $10,000 for suffering and damages and an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The Company is indemnified by affiliates of Peach Health in this action.

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 March 31, 2020, 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.

Risks and Uncertainties

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the respiratory illness caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the United States to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to protect its spread have adversely affected our business in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and we expect will continue to adversely affect our business in the quarter ending June 30, 2020 and beyond, for a variety of reasons, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Our tenants’ operations have been, and we expect will continue to be, materially and adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to, among other things, decreased occupancy and increased operating costs (including costs due to the implementation of additional safety protocols and procedures, purchases of personal protective equipment, increased staffing to allow facilities to adhere to social distancing and infection control protocols, and premium pay and incentive pay for the staff), which may affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease agreements.

27


 

The COVID-19 pandemic also could cause temporary closures of nursing facilities, operated by our tenants, which also may affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease agreements. In addition, our tenants’ operations could be further disrupted if any of their employees, or the employees of their vendors, have, or are suspected of having, COVID-19. This could cause, and in some cases have caused, our tenants or their vendors to experience staffing shortages, and this could potentially require our tenants and their vendors to close parts of or entire facilities, distribution centers, or other buildings to disinfect any affected areas.

We could also be adversely affected if government authorities impose upon our tenants, or their vendors, certain restrictions due to COVID-19. These restrictions may be in the form of mandatory closures, requested voluntary closures, bans on new admissions, restricted operations, or restrictions on the importation of necessary equipment or supplies which may adversely affect our tenants’ operations and their ability to make rental payments to us. In addition, family members may elect to keep nursing facility residents at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reducing our tenants’ revenue. Currently, a number of our tenants have stopped admitting new patients due to COVID-19 infections and hence their revenues have declined.

As a result of COVID-19, our tenants may face lawsuits for alleged negligence associated with their responses to the emergency. The costs associated with defending, settling, or paying damages from such claims could negatively impact our tenants’ operating budgets and affect their ability to meet their obligations under our leases. Further, we may be subject to increased claims brought against us in lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of our alleged actions or the alleged actions of our tenants for which they have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. An unfavorable resolution of any such pending or future litigation could materially adversely affect us.

If our tenants are unable to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease obligations, whether due to the tenants’ decrease in revenues or otherwise, then, in some cases, we may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place.

While the Company has received most of its rental receipts from tenants through the date of this Quarterly Report, there are a number of uncertainties the Company faces as it considers the potential impact of COVID-19 on its business, including the length of census disruption, elevated COVID-19 operating costs related to personal protection equipment, cleaning supplies, virus testing and increased overtime due to staff illness and the extent to which federal and state funding support will offset these incremental costs for our tenants. We also do not know the number of facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19, and while we have requested reporting from operators of their numbers of cases and CMS has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases, which could result in a delay in reporting. We expect to see continued increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and increased monitoring of employees, guests and other individuals entering facilities; however, we do not yet know if future reimbursement rates will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring.

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 March 31, 2020 and 2019

Rental revenues—Rental revenue decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 16.4%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $5.1 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease reflects approximately $0.1 million related to the Omega Lease Termination and $0.8 million related to the sale of four of the Company’s facilities during the second quarter of 2019 off-set by approximately $0.1 million in other increases. The Company recognizes all rental revenues on a straight line rent accrual basis, except with respect to the Mountain Trace Facility while operated by an affiliate of Symmetry for January and February 2019 and the four facilities from January 2019 until their sale during the prior year second quarter, for which rental revenue was recognized based on cash received.

Facility rent expense—Facility rent expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 5.0%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $1.7 million for the same period in 2019. The net decrease is due to the Omega Lease Termination and Covington Forbearance Agreement.

Depreciation and amortization—Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 24.1%, to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $1.0 million for the same period in 2019. 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 prior year.

31


 

General and administrative—General and administrative costs decreased by 5.3%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $0.9 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to approximately $0.1 million lower business consulting and legal expenses incurred in relation to forbearance agreements with a prior lender in the prior year, off-set by an increase in employee related expenses of approximately $0.1 million.

Recovery of doubtful accounts—The prior period gain is related to the collection of amounts owed to the Company under tenant payment plans previously not considered collectible.

Other operating expenses—Other operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 45.1%, to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $0.4 million for the same period in 2019. In the prior period the Company incurred an additional $0.2 million legal expenses in relation to lease negotiations.

Interest expense, net—Interest expense decreased by approximately $1.0 million, or 56.8%, to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $1.7 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to repayment of significant debt in the prior year.

Loss on extinguishment of debt—The loss from extinguishment of debt decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 100.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The prior period expenses were due to a substantial change in debt terms pursuant to a forbearance agreement with a prior lender.

Gain on disposal of Assets—The gain on disposal of assets decreased by approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, The gain on disposal of assets of $0.7 million in the prior period is due to the Omega Lease Termination.

Other expense, net—During the current period, the Company has retained professional services to assist with the restructure of the Company’s capital structure.

Loss (income) Discontinued operations, net of tax—The loss from discontinued operations increased by $0.1 million, or 120.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is due to approximately a $0.1 million workers compensation insurance prior year’s premium and deposit refund in the prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

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 March 31, 2020, the Company had $4.0 million in unrestricted cash, $7.5 million current assets and $13.8 million in current liabilities and negative working capital of approximately $0.1 million which excludes $6.2 million of current operating lease obligation. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of $0.3 million and anticipates continued positive cash flow from operations in the future.

 

Debt Covenant Compliance

As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the various covenants for the Company’s outstanding credit related instruments.

 

 

32


 

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, all quarters of 2019, and the first and second quarters of 2020. 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.

 

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.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Disclosure in response to Item 3. of Form 10-Q is not required to be provided by smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

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.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

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 the date of filing, the Company is a defendant in a total of 12 professional and general liability actions, primarily commenced on behalf of one of our former patients and 11 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 11 of such actions relate to events which occurred after the Company transitioned the operations of the facilities in question to a third-party operator (of which five such actions relate to cases after the Company sold the facilities) and which are subject to such operators’ indemnification obligations in favor of the Company.

On January 29, 2020, the Company executed a settlement in compromise of a disputed complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, in the State of Arkansas, by a former patient at one of our facilities, against the Company on May 16, 2017. The plaintiff alleged medical negligence and injury. The settlement, in exchange for dismissal of the case with prejudice, is for a total of $40,000, to be paid in four monthly installments commencing February 2020.

On May 19, 2020 a medical negligence action was filed in the State Court of Chatham County, Georgia, by Anthony Bowan against affiliates of Peach Health and the Company, alleging wrongful death of a patient, at the facility known as Oceanside Health and Rehab operated by affiliates of Peach Health. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified compensatory damages for the actual losses and unspecified punitive damages. The Company is indemnified by affiliates of Peach Health in this action.

On May 26, 2020 in the United States District Court Eastern District of Arkansas Central Division the court dismissed the action filed against the Company on January 30, 2020, on the grounds that a company who simply sold a facility which concluded the company’s relationship with the buyer is not grounds to expose the Company to liability related to the buyers later actions. Such action had previously been dismissed in the County court on May 5, 2020, was for a medical injury and improper care and treatment was filed in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, State of Arkansas on behalf of a deceased patient, who received care after the Transition and sale of the facility, against Joseph and Rosie Schwartz who controlled Skyline, a subsidiary of the Company and CIBC Bancorp USA, Inc. The plaintiff (Rack) is seeking unspecified compensatory damages for the actual losses and unspecified punitive damages. The lawyer in this action may appeal the federal dismissal for a time after the case against Joseph and Rosie Schwartz is resolved.

On June 1, 2020 a wrongful death action was filed in the State Court of Chatham County, Georgia, by Sandi Postle against affiliates of Peach Health and the Company, alleging wrongful death of a patient, at the facility known as Oceanside Health and Rehab operated by affiliates of Peach Health. The plaintiff is requesting an amount in excess of $10,000 for suffering and damages and an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The Company is indemnified by affiliates of Peach Health in this action.

The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $0.4 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Additionally as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $0.3 million and $0.3 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 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.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

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.

 

 

COVID-19 Global Pandemic

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the respiratory illness caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the United States to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to protect its spread have adversely affected our business in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and we expect will continue to adversely affect our business in the quarter ending June 30, 2020 and beyond, for a variety of reasons, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Our tenants’ operations have been, and we expect will continue to be, materially and adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to, among other things, decreased occupancy and increased operating costs (including costs due to the implementation of additional safety protocols and procedures, purchases of personal protective equipment, increased staffing to allow facilities to adhere to social distancing and infection control protocols, and premium pay and incentive pay for the staff), which may affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease agreements.

The COVID-19 pandemic also could cause temporary closures of nursing facilities, operated by our tenants, which also may affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease agreements. In addition, our tenants’ operations could be further disrupted if any of their employees, or the employees of their vendors, have, or are suspected of having, COVID-19. This could cause, and in some cases have caused, our tenants or their vendors to experience staffing shortages, and this could potentially require our tenants and their vendors to close parts of or entire facilities, distribution centers, or other buildings to disinfect any affected areas.

We could also be adversely affected if government authorities impose upon our tenants, or their vendors, certain restrictions due to COVID-19. These restrictions may be in the form of mandatory closures, requested voluntary closures, bans on new admissions, restricted operations, or restrictions on the importation of necessary equipment or supplies which may adversely affect our tenants’ operations and their ability to make rental payments to us. In addition, family members may elect to keep nursing facility residents at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reducing our tenants’ revenue. Currently, a number of our tenants have stopped admitting new patients due to COVID-19 infections and hence their revenues have declined.

As a result of COVID-19, our tenants may face lawsuits for alleged negligence associated with their responses to the emergency. The costs associated with defending, settling, or paying damages from such claims could negatively impact our tenants’ operating budgets and affect their ability to meet their obligations under our leases. Further, we may be subject to increased claims brought against us in lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of our alleged actions or the alleged actions of our tenants for which they have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. An unfavorable resolution of any such pending or future litigation could materially adversely affect us.

If our tenants are unable to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease obligations, whether due to the tenants’ decrease in revenues or otherwise, then, in some cases, we may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place.

While the Company has received most of its rental receipts from tenants through the date of this Quarterly Report, there are a number of uncertainties the Company faces as it considers the potential impact of COVID-19 on its business, including the length of census disruption, elevated COVID-19 operating costs related to personal protection equipment, cleaning supplies, virus testing and increased overtime due to staff illness and the extent to which federal and state funding support will offset these incremental costs for our tenants. We also do not know the number of facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19, and while we have requested reporting from operators of their numbers of cases

37


 

and CMS has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases, which could result in a delay in reporting. We expect to see continued increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and increased monitoring of employees, guests and other individuals entering facilities; however, we do not yet know if future reimbursement rates will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring.

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 March 31, 2020, we had approximately $55.0 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.

38


 

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.

Item 3.

Defaults upon Senior Securities.

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 $21.1 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.
