STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “10-Q”) contain “forward-looking” information as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financing plans, business strategy, budgets, the expected amounts and timing of dividends and other distributions, projected expenses and capital expenditures, competitive position, growth opportunities, potential acquisitions, plans and objectives for future operations, and compliance with and changes in governmental regulations. You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “may” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Our actual results may differ materially from those projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, among others, the following:


•	our dependence on Genesis HealthCare LLC, the parent of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., until we are able to further diversify our portfolio;


•	our dependence on the operating success of our tenants;


•	changes in general economic conditions and volatility in financial and credit markets;


•	the dependence of our tenants on reimbursement from governmental and other third-party payors;


•	the significant amount of and our ability to service our indebtedness;


•	covenants in our debt agreements that may restrict our ability to make acquisitions, incur additional indebtedness and refinance indebtedness on favorable terms;


•	increases in market interest rates;


•	our ability to raise capital through equity financings;


•	the relatively illiquid nature of real estate investments;


•	competitive conditions in our industry;


•	the loss of key management personnel or other employees;


•	the impact of litigation and rising insurance costs on the business of our tenants;


•	uninsured or underinsured losses affecting our properties and the possibility of environmental compliance costs and liabilities;


•	our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); and


•	compliance with REIT requirements and certain tax matters related to our status as a REIT.

We urge you to carefully consider these risks and review the additional disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future business and operating results, including those made in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (our “2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We caution you that any forward-looking statements made in this 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, events or results, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law to do so.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)


1.	BUSINESS

Overview

Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Old Sun”) and commenced operations on November 15, 2010. Sabra elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. Sabra believes that it has been organized and operated, and it intends to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. Sabra’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third party tenants in the healthcare sector. Sabra owns substantially all of its assets and properties and conducts its operations through Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Sabra is the sole general partner, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2014, Sabra’s investment portfolio consisted of 129 real estate properties held for investment and leased to operators/tenants under triple-net lease agreements (consisting of (i) 102 skilled nursing/post-acute facilities, (ii) 25 senior housing facilities, and (iii) two acute care hospitals), 11 debt investments (consisting of (i) four mortgage loans, (ii) three construction loans, (iii) one mezzanine loan, and (iv) three pre-development loans) and two preferred equity investments. Included in the 129 real estate properties held for investment is one 100% owned senior housing facility leased to a 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant joint venture tenant.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sabra, its wholly owned subsidiaries and a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIEs”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

GAAP requires the Company to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of VIEs. A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. If the Company were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company would consolidate investments in the VIE. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE due to events such as modifications of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity's equity investments at risk and the disposal of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.

The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

On January 1, 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant senior housing operations joint venture. This joint venture was formed to indirectly, through subsidiary companies, operate senior housing, memory care, or other applicable businesses. The joint venture currently includes one senior housing facility, Stoney River Marshfield, a 60-bed assisted living facility located in Marshfield, Wisconsin. As of March 31, 2014, this joint venture is consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as it is deemed to be a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The carrying value of the facility as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $9.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively, and is included in Real estate investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2014, the 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant joint venture was not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Table of Contents

As it relates to investments in loans, in addition to the Company's assessment of VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of those VIEs, the Company evaluates the loan terms and other pertinent facts to determine if the loan investment should be accounted for as a loan or as a real estate joint venture. If an investment has the characteristics of a real estate joint venture, including if the Company participates in the majority of the borrower's expected residual profit, the Company would account for the investment as an investment in a real estate joint venture and not as a loan investment. Expected residual profit is defined as the amount of profit, whether called interest or another name, such as an equity kicker, above a reasonable amount of interest and fees expected to be earned by a lender. At March 31, 2014, none of the Company's investments in loans are accounted for as real estate joint ventures.

As it relates to investments in joint ventures, based on the type of rights held by the limited partner(s), GAAP may preclude consolidation by the sole general partner in certain circumstances in which the general partner would otherwise consolidate the joint venture. The Company assesses limited partners' rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner when an investor becomes the sole general partner, and the Company reassesses if: there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners; the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests; or there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. The Company also applies this guidance to managing member interests in limited liability companies.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

On April 10, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU No. 2014-08”), which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if (i) there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations, or (ii) there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3.RECENT REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company acquired six skilled nursing facilities and two senior housing facilities for consideration totaling $117.7 million. The consideration was allocated as follows (in thousands):



				Intangibles
Land		Building and Improvements		Tenant Origination and Absorption Costs		Tenant Relationship		Total Consideration
$	9,640	$	105,741	$	1,741	$	586	$	117,708

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2014, the purchase price allocations for acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2014 are preliminary pending the receipt of information necessary to complete the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and therefore are subject to change.

The tenant origination and absorption costs intangible assets and tenant relationship intangible assets acquired in connection with these acquisitions have weighted-average amortization periods as of the date of acquisition of 11 years and 21 years, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized $1.2 million and $0.5 million of total revenues and net income attributable to common stockholders, respectively, from these properties.

Acquisition Earn-Out

In connection with its acquisition of four skilled nursing facilities and two senior housing facilities (the “Nye Portfolio”) for $90.0 million, the Company may pay an earn-out based on incremental portfolio value created through the improvement of current operations as well as through expansion and conversion projects associated with these facilities. The earn-out amount will be determined based on portfolio performance following the third anniversary of the master lease. The Company estimated a contingent consideration liability of $3.2 million at the time of purchase. As of March 31, 2014, based on the performance of the Nye Portfolio, the contingent consideration liability remains at $3.2 million and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Forest Park - Frisco Contingent Consideration

On October 22, 2013, the Company purchased Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco, a 54-bed acute care hospital located in Frisco, Texas. The total purchase price was $119.8 million, of which approximately $10.5 million is being held in escrow. This amount will be held in escrow for up to 20 months following the purchase date and the amount ultimately released from escrow is contingent on the tenant achieving certain performance hurdles. The seller will be paid a fee of $0.5 million per annum during the escrow period. As of October 22, 2013, the amount the Company expected to release from escrow was valued at $7.3 million and is treated as contingent consideration. As of March 31, 2014, based on the performance of the facility the contingent consideration liability is estimated at $7.2 million and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2014, the $10.5 million held in escrow was included in prepaid expenses, deferred financing costs and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an adjustment to the contingent consideration liability of $0.3 million and included this amount in other income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, $5.3 million was released from escrow to the seller as the result of the facility achieving certain of its performance hurdles. The remaining $5.2 million remains in escrow with its release contingent on the facility meeting additional performance hurdles.

Operating Leases

As of March 31, 2014, all of the Company’s real estate properties were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from seven to 21 years. As of March 31, 2014, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 11 years. The leases include provisions to extend the lease terms and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company, through its subsidiaries, retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to the tenants. In addition, the Company may receive additional security under these operating leases in the form of letters of credit and security deposits from the lessee or guarantees from the parent of the lessee or other related parties. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $1.7 million and $1.6 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, 81 of the Company's 129 real estate properties held for investment were leased to subsidiaries of Genesis.

The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants by reviewing credit ratings (if available) and evaluating the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations to the Company based on the tenants’ financial performance, including the evaluation of any parent guarantees (or the guarantees of other related parties) of tenant lease obligations. Because formal credit ratings may not be available for most of the Company’s tenants, the primary basis for the Company’s evaluation of the credit quality of its tenants (and more specifically the tenants’ ability to pay their rent obligations to the Company) is the tenants’ lease coverage ratios. These coverage ratios include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) to rent coverage and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and management fees (“EBITDARM”) to rent coverage at the facility level and consolidated EBITDAR to total fixed charge coverage at the parent guarantor level when such a guarantee exists (currently the Genesis lease portfolio). The Company obtains various financial and operational information from its tenants each month and reviews this information in conjunction with the above-described coverage metrics to determine trends and the operational and financial impact of the environment in the industry (including the impact of government reimbursement) and the management of the tenant’s operations. These metrics help the Company identify potential areas of concern relative to its tenants’ credit quality and ultimately the tenants’ ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including its obligation to continue to pay the rent due to the Company.

The 2021 Notes were sold at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $350.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $340.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The 2021 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

The 2021 Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on or after February 1, 2017, at the redemption prices set forth in the supplemental indenture governing the 2021 Notes (the “2021 Notes Indenture”), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. In addition, prior to February 1, 2017, the Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to February 1, 2017, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes, using the proceeds of specific kinds of equity offerings, at a redemption price of 105.5% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. Assuming the 2021 Notes are not redeemed, the 2021 Notes mature on February 1, 2021.

5.375% Notes Due 2023. On May 23, 2013, the Issuers completed an underwritten public offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior unsecured notes (the “2023 Notes”).

Assuming the 2023 Notes are not redeemed, the 2023 Notes mature on June 1, 2023.

8.125% Notes due 2018. On October 27, 2010 and July 26, 2012, the Issuers issued $225.0 million and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior unsecured notes (the “2018 Notes”), respectively. Pursuant to exchange offers completed on March 14, 2011 and November 14, 2012, the Issuers exchanged the 2018 Notes that were issued in October 2010 and July 2012 for substantially identical 2018 Notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2018 Notes accrued interest at a rate of 8.125% per annum payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year.

On June 24, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2018 Notes (the “2018 Notes Indenture”), the Issuers redeemed $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes, representing 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes outstanding. The 2018 Notes were redeemed at a redemption price of 108.125% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. The redemption resulted in a $9.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt, including $9.3 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption and $0.5 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing costs and issuance premium.

On January 8, 2014, the Company commenced a cash tender offer with respect to any and all of the outstanding $211.3 million of the 2018 Notes. Pursuant to the tender offer, the Company retired $210.9 million of the 2018 Notes at a premium of 109.837%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on January 23, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Notes Indenture, the remaining $0.4 million of the 2018 Notes were called and were retired on February 11, 2014 at a redemption price of 109.485%

plus accrued and unpaid interest. The tender offer and redemption resulted in $21.6 million of tender offer and redemption related costs and write-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2014, including $20.8 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption and $0.8 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing and premium costs. These amounts are included in loss on extinguishment of debt on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income.

The obligations under the 2021 Notes and 2023 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by Sabra and certain of Sabra’s other existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future material subsidiaries; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. See Note 10, “Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information” for additional information concerning the circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes Indentures”) contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Sabra, the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; (iii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, their capital stock; (iv) make certain investments or other restricted payments; (v) sell assets; (vi) create liens on their assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets; and (ix) create restrictions on the ability of Sabra’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Sabra. Such limitations on distributions also include a limitation on the extent of allowable cumulative distributions made not to exceed the greater of (a) the sum of (x) 95% of cumulative Adjusted Funds from Operations and (y) the net proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity and (b) the minimum amount of distributions required for the Company to maintain its REIT status. The Senior Notes Indentures also provide for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal of, the Senior Notes, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Senior Notes Indentures for a period of time after notice has been provided, the acceleration of other indebtedness resulting from the failure to pay principal on such other indebtedness prior to its maturity, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the then outstanding Senior Notes may become due and payable immediately. The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures related to the Senior Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2014.

Revolving Credit Facility

On July 29, 2013, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with certain lenders as set forth in the related credit agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (each as defined in such credit agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $375.0 million and includes an accordion feature that allows the Operating Partnership to increase the borrowing availability by up to an additional $225.0 million, subject to terms and conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by pledges of equity by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries that own certain of the Company's real estate assets. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on, among other factors, the mortgageability cash flow (as such term is defined in the related credit agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 29, 2016, and includes a one year extension option. As of March 31, 2014, there was $162.0 million outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and $125.5 million available for borrowing.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (referred to as the “Base Rate”). The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, and will range from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 1.50% to 2.50% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of March 31, 2014, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.15%. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to pay a facility fee to the lenders equal to between 0.35% and 0.50% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $1.2 million in interest expense on amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $0.3 million of unused facility fees.

The obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, make distributions, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of

default. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires Sabra, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred interest expense of $11.1 million and $10.0 million, respectively. Interest expense includes deferred financing costs amortization of $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $7.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of accrued interest included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

7.FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.

Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and whose markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments whose markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, secured revolving credit facility, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for other financial instruments are derived as follows:

Loans receivable: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans receivable, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements.

Preferred equity investments: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the preferred equity investments were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected future cash flows for the preferred equity investment, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements.

Senior Notes: The fair values of the Senior Notes were determined using third-party market quotes derived from orderly trades.

Mortgage indebtedness: The fair values of the Company’s mortgage notes payable were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements.

The following are the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value (in thousands):

⁽²⁾Carrying amounts represent the book value of financial instruments and include unamortized premiums (discounts).

The Company determined the fair value of financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value with valuation methods utilizing the following types of inputs (in thousands):



			Fair Value Measurements Using
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs

Financial liabilities:
Senior Notes	566,875		—		566,875		—
Mortgage indebtedness	121,208		—		—		121,208

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company at the applicable dates and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of fair value at a future date could be materially different.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded the following amounts measured at fair value (in thousands):

Recurring Basis:
Contingent consideration	$	10,400	$	—	$	—	$	10,400

The Company’s contingent consideration liability is the result of two acquisitions of real estate properties (see Note 3, “Recent Real Estate Acquisitions” and Note 4, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment” for further details). In order to determine the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liability, the Company developed probability-weighted scenarios of the potential future performance of the tenant and the resulting payout from these scenarios. As of March 31, 2014, the total contingent consideration liability was valued at $10.4 million. The following reconciliation provides the details of activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 for financial instruments recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs:

8.	EQUITY

Preferred Stock

On March 21, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 5.8 million shares of 7.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company received net proceeds of $138.3 million from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.

The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights. However, if dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Company’s board of directors until all accrued dividends for past dividend periods with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock also have voting rights with respect to the Company in certain other circumstances. At March 31, 2014, there were no dividends in arrears.

Generally, the Company is not permitted to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to March 21, 2018, except in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a REIT and pursuant to the special optional redemption provision described below. On or after March 21, 2018, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock up to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a specified change of control (as described in the Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Stock), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. If the Company exercises any of its redemption rights relating to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described below. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to mandatory redemption or any sinking fund.

Upon the occurrence of a specified change of control, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right (unless, prior to the change of control conversion date specified in the Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock) to convert some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted equal to the lesser of:

•

the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the change of control conversion date (unless the change of control conversion date is after a record date for a Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for any accrued and unpaid dividend that will be paid on such dividend payment date will be included in this sum) by (ii) the common stock price (as defined in the Articles Supplementary); and


•	1.7864 (the share cap), subject to certain adjustments;

subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration as described in the Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Stock.

Upon issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company classified the par value as preferred equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheets with the balance of the liquidation preference, net of any issuance costs, recorded as an increase in paid-in capital.

Common Stock

The following table lists the cash dividends on common stock declared and paid by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2014:



Declaration Date	Record Date	Amount Per Share		Dividend Payable Date
January 23, 2014	February 15, 2014	$	0.36	February 28, 2014

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 175,096 shares of common stock as a result of restricted stock unit vestings and in connection with amounts payable under the Company's 2013 Bonus Plan pursuant to an election by certain participants to receive the bonus payment in shares of the Company's common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 11,515 shares of common stock as a result of stock options exercised.

Upon any payment of shares as a result of restricted stock unit vestings, the participant is required to satisfy the related tax withholding obligation. The 2009 Performance Incentive Plan provides that the Company has the right at its option to (a) require the participant to pay such tax withholding or (b) reduce the number of shares to be delivered by a number of shares necessary to satisfy the related minimum applicable statutory tax withholding obligation. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, pursuant to advance elections made by certain participants, the Company paid $5.1 million in tax withholding obligations that were satisfied through a reduction in the number of shares delivered to those participants.

At-The-Market Common Stock Offering Program (“ATM Program”)

On March 18, 2013, the Company entered into a sales agreement (each, a “Sales Agreement”) with each of Barclays Capital Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (individually, a “Sales Agent” and together, the “Sales Agents”) to sell shares of its common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $100.0 million (the “ATM Shares”) from time to time through the Sales Agents.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company sold 0.2 million ATM Shares, at an average price of $27.68 per share, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.6 million, before $0.1 million of commissions. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $57.1 million available under the ATM Program.


9.	EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Numerator
Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders	$	(9,864	)	$	9,253

Denominator
Basic weighted average common shares	38,968,403			37,286,121
Dilutive stock options and restricted stock units	—			453,843

Diluted weighted average common shares	38,968,403			37,739,964


Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, per:

Basic common share	$	(0.25	)	$	0.25

Diluted common share	$	(0.25	)	$	0.25

Certain of our outstanding restricted stock units are considered participating securities because dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest. Accordingly, the Company uses the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 38,000 and 100 restricted stock

units, respectively, were not included because they were considered anti-dilutive. No stock options were considered anti-dilutive during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

10.SUMMARIZED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION

In connection with the offerings of the Senior Notes by the Issuers and the Issuers’ previous offerings of the 2018 Notes (which were no longer outstanding as of March 31, 2014), the Company and certain 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Notes, subject to release under certain customary circumstances as described below. These guarantees are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and senior guarantees of the Guarantors and are unsecured. The Company conducts all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company’s ability to make required payments with respect to its indebtedness (including the Senior Notes) and other obligations depends on the financial results and condition of its subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.

A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the Senior Notes in the event of:


•	Any sale of the subsidiary Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets;


•	A merger or consolidation of a subsidiary Guarantor with an issuer of the Senior Notes or another Guarantor, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor;


•	A subsidiary Guarantor is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes under the Senior Notes Indentures;


•	The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the Senior Notes Indentures have been satisfied;


•	A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the Senior Notes Indentures, of a subsidiary Guarantor; and


•	The release or discharge of the guaranty that resulted in the creation of the subsidiary guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guaranty.

Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following summarized condensed consolidating information is provided for the Company (the “Parent Company”), the Issuers, the Guarantors, and the Company’s non-Guarantor subsidiaries with respect to the Senior Notes. This summarized financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by the Company, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The summarized financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Issuers, the Guarantors or non-Guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities. Sabra’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented based upon Sabra's proportionate share of each subsidiary's net assets. The Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in the non-Guarantor subsidiaries and non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in Guarantor subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. Intercompany activities between subsidiaries and the Parent Company are presented within operating activities on the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows.

Condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Parent Company only, the Issuers, the combined Guarantor subsidiaries and the combined non-Guarantor subsidiaries, are as follows:

12.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of March 31, 2014.

Separation and REIT Conversion Merger

On May 24, 2010, Old Sun announced its intention to restructure its business by separating its real estate assets and its operating assets into two separate publicly traded companies, Sabra and SHG Services Inc. (which was then renamed “Sun Healthcare Group, Inc.” or “Sun”). In order to effect the restructuring, Old Sun distributed to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sun (this distribution is referred to as the “Separation”), together with an additional cash distribution. Immediately following the Separation, Old Sun merged with and into Sabra, with Sabra surviving the merger and Old Sun stockholders receiving shares of Sabra common stock in exchange for their shares of Old Sun common
stock (this merger is referred to as the “REIT Conversion Merger”). Effective November 15, 2010, the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger were completed and Sabra and Sun began operations as separate companies.

Following the Separation, Sun, through its subsidiaries, continued the business and operations of Old Sun and its subsidiaries. Sabra did not operate prior to the Separation. Immediately following the Separation, subsidiaries of Sabra owned substantially all of Old Sun’s owned real property. The owned real property held by subsidiaries of Sabra following the Separation includes fixtures and certain personal property associated with the real property. The historical consolidated financial statements of Old Sun became the historical consolidated financial statements of Sun at the time of the Separation. At the time of the Separation, the balance sheet of Sabra included the owned real property and mortgage indebtedness to third parties on the real property as well as indebtedness incurred by Sabra prior to completion of the Separation. The statements of income and cash flows of Sabra consist solely of its operations after the Separation. The Separation was accounted for as a reverse spinoff. Accordingly, Sabra’s assets and liabilities are recorded at the historical carrying values of Old Sun.

In connection with the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving the Company’s real estate investments has been assumed by the Company and the Company will indemnify Sun (and

Table of Contents

its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) against any losses arising from or relating to such legal proceedings. In addition, pursuant to a distribution agreement entered into among Old Sun, the Company and Sun in connection with the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, Sun has agreed to indemnify the Company (and the Company’s subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) for any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving Old Sun’s healthcare business prior to the Separation, and, pursuant to the lease agreements between the Company and subsidiaries of Sun, the tenants agree to indemnify the Company for any liability arising from operations at the real property leased from the Company.

Immediately prior to the Separation, Old Sun was a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings, including various claims arising in the ordinary course of its healthcare business, which are subject to the indemnities to be provided by Sun to the Company. While these actions and proceedings are not believed to be material, individually or in the aggregate, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted. The resolution of any such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on Sun’s business, financial position or results of operations, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations if Sun or its subsidiaries are unable to meet their indemnification obligations.

For income tax purposes, the Company is the surviving taxpayer of the Separation. Accordingly, tax positions taken by Old Sun prior to the Separation remained the Company’s obligations after the Separation. However, under an agreement with Sun relating to tax allocation matters, Sun is responsible for and will indemnify the Company against, among other things, federal, state and local taxes (including penalties and interest) related to periods prior to the Separation to the extent the deferred tax assets allocated to the Company as part of the Separation are not sufficient and/or cannot be utilized to satisfy these taxes. After the 2010 tax year, the Company and Sun have agreed, to the extent allowable by applicable law, to allocate all net operating loss attributes generated in prior years to Sun. In addition, Sun will generally have the right to control the conduct and disposition of any tax audits or other proceedings with regard to such periods, and will be entitled to any refund or credit for such periods.

Effective December 1, 2012, Sun was acquired by Genesis HealthCare LLC (“Genesis”). As a result of its acquisition of Sun, Genesis became successor to the obligations of Sun described above.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings where the likelihood of a loss contingency is reasonably possible and the amount or range of reasonably possible losses is material to the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.


13.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Dividend Declaration

On May 5, 2014, the Company announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 30, 2014 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2014.

On May 5, 2014, the Company also announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on May 30, 2014 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2014.

Park Place Acquisition

On April 29, 2014, the Company acquired a senior housing campus in Fort Wayne, Indiana (“Park Place”) with a total of 140 units (24 independent living units, 76 assisted living units and 40 memory care units) for $23.8 million. Park Place is encumbered by a HUD-insured mortgage with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $14.1 million and an annual interest rate of 4.84%. At closing, $1.1 million of the purchase price was used to repay an interim loan made by the Company to affiliates of the Leo Brown Group, the operator of Park Place, and the Company assumed the $14.1 million HUD-insured mortgage, resulting in a cash investment of $8.6 million.

Concurrently with the purchase, the Company entered into a triple-net master lease agreement with affiliates of the Leo Brown Group. The lease has an initial term of 15 years with two renewal options of five years each and provides for an annual

rent escalator of the greater of (i) Consumer Price Index and (ii) 3.0%, but not to exceed 4.0%, resulting in annual lease revenues, determined in accordance with GAAP, of $2.2 million.

Mortgage Debt Repayment

On May 1, 2014, the Company repaid $29.8 million of existing variable rate mortgage indebtedness, having an interest rate of 5.0% per annum as of March 31, 2014, with proceeds from its Revolving Credit Facility.

Overview

We were incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Old Sun”), a provider of nursing, rehabilitative and related specialty healthcare services principally to the senior population in the United States. Pursuant to a restructuring plan by Old Sun, Old Sun restructured its business by separating its real estate assets and its operating assets into two separate publicly traded companies, Sabra and SHG Services Inc. (which was then renamed “Sun Healthcare Group, Inc.” or “Sun”). In order to effect the restructuring, Old Sun distributed to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sun (this distribution is referred to as the “Separation”), together with an additional cash distribution. Immediately following the Separation, Old Sun merged with and into Sabra, with Sabra surviving the merger and Old Sun stockholders receiving shares of Sabra common stock in exchange for their shares of Old Sun common stock (this merger is referred to as the “REIT Conversion Merger”). The Separation and REIT Conversion Merger were completed on November 15, 2010, which we refer to as the Separation Date.

Following the restructuring of Old Sun’s business and the completion of the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, we began operating as a self-administered, self-managed REIT that, directly or indirectly, owns and invests in real estate serving the healthcare industry.

As of March 31, 2014, our investment portfolio consisted of 129 real estate properties held for investment (consisting of (i) 102 skilled nursing/post-acute facilities, (ii) 25 senior housing facilities, and (iii) two acute care hospitals), 11 debt investments (consisting of (i) four mortgage loans, (ii) three construction loans, (iii) one mezzanine loan, and (iv) three pre-development loans) and two preferred equity investments. Included in the 129 real estate properties held for investment is one 100% owned senior housing facility leased to a 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant joint venture tenant. As of March 31, 2014, our real estate properties had a total of 13,410 licensed beds/units spread across 28 states. As of March 31, 2014, all of our real estate properties were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from seven to 21 years.

We expect to continue to grow our portfolio primarily through the acquisition of senior housing and memory care facilities and with a secondary focus on acquiring skilled nursing facilities. We have and will continue to opportunistically acquire other types of healthcare real estate (including acute care hospitals) and originate financing secured directly or indirectly by healthcare facilities. We also expect to continue to work with operators to identify strategic development opportunities. These opportunities may involve replacing or renovating facilities in our portfolio that may have become less competitive and new development opportunities that present attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition to pursuing acquisitions with triple-net leases, we expect to continue to pursue other forms of investment, including investments in senior housing through RIDEA-compliant structures, mezzanine and secured debt investments, and joint ventures for senior housing, memory care and skilled nursing assets.

As we acquire additional properties and expand our portfolio, we expect to further diversify by tenant, asset class and geography within the healthcare sector. We employ a disciplined, opportunistic approach in our healthcare real estate

Table of Contents

investment strategy by investing in assets that provide attractive opportunities for dividend growth and appreciation of asset values, while maintaining balance sheet strength and liquidity, thereby creating long-term stockholder value.

We elected to be treated as a REIT with the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. We believe that we have been organized and have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. We operate through an umbrella partnership (commonly referred to as an UPREIT) structure in which substantially all of our properties and assets are held by Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Recent Transactions

Mortgage Debt Repayment

On May 1, 2014, we repaid $29.8 million of existing variable rate mortgage indebtedness with proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of these recent financing activities, we have reduced our weighted-average effective interest rate, excluding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, to 5.18% per annum from 5.96% per annum as of December 31, 2013. Also, excluding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, all our borrowings are now at fixed interest rates and we have no significant debt maturities until 2021.

Park Place Acquisition

On April 29, 2014, we acquired a senior housing campus in Fort Wayne, Indiana (“Park Place”) with a total of 140 units (24 independent living units, 76 assisted living units and 40 memory care units) for $23.8 million. Park Place is encumbered by a HUD-insured mortgage with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $14.1 million and an annual interest rate of 4.84%. At closing, $1.1 million of the purchase price was used to repay an interim loan made by us to affiliates of the Leo Brown Group, the operator of Park Place, and we assumed the $14.1 million HUD-insured mortgage, resulting in a cash investment of $8.6 million.

Concurrently with the purchase, we entered into a triple-net master lease agreement with affiliates of the Leo Brown Group. The lease has an initial term of 15 years with two renewal options of five years each and provides for an annual rent escalator of the greater of (i) Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) and (ii) 3.0%, but not to exceed 4.0%, resulting in annual lease revenues, determined in accordance with GAAP, of $2.2 million and an initial yield on cash rent of 7.38%.

Chai Acquisition

On March 5, 2014, we exercised our option to purchase two skilled nursing facilities indirectly securing our Chai Mezzanine Loan investment (defined below) with a total of 254 licensed beds for $24.5 million (the “Chai Acquisition”). The facilities are located in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Fort Pierce, Florida and have 147 and 107 beds, respectively.

Our option to buy these properties was obtained in connection with the $12.4 million mezzanine loan (the “Chai Mezzanine Loan”) that we originated in June 2013 with an affiliate of Chai Facilities Acquisition Company, LLC (“Chai”), the indirect owner of twelve skilled nursing facilities, with 1,689 licensed beds in seven states (the “Chai Portfolio”). The Chai Mezzanine Loan is secured by the borrower's equity interests in the entities that own the Chai Portfolio under which we received an option to purchase up to $50.0 million of these facilities.

At the closing of the Chai Acquisition, $5.8 million of the sales proceeds were used to repay a portion of the Chai Mezzanine Loan, resulting in us funding an additional $18.7 million for the acquisition and leaving $6.5 million outstanding under the Chai Mezzanine Loan. We continue to have an option to purchase up to an additional $25.5 million of the remaining ten properties in the Chai Portfolio.

Concurrently with the purchase, we entered into a triple-net master lease agreement with affiliates of the seller. The lease has an initial term of 15 years with two 5-year renewal options and provides for an annual rent escalator equal to the greater of the change in the CPI or 2.75%, resulting in annual lease revenues, determined in accordance with GAAP, of $2.8 million and an initial yield on cash rent of 9.5%.

RIDEA-Compliant Joint Venture

On January 1, 2014, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant senior housing operations joint venture (“Senior Housing Joint Venture”). The Senior Housing Joint Venture was formed to indirectly, through subsidiary companies, operate senior housing, memory care, or other applicable businesses. The Senior Housing Joint Venture currently includes one senior housing facility, Stoney River Marshfield, a 60-bed assisted living facility located in Marshfield,

Table of Contents

Wisconsin. The Senior Housing Joint Venture is consolidated as it is deemed to be a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary.

Nye Portfolio

On February 14, 2014, we acquired six senior housing campuses (the “Nye Portfolio”) with a total of 673 beds/units, covering the spectrum of care (292 skilled nursing beds, 213 independent living units and 168 assisted living units) for $90.0 million. All six facilities are located within approximately 100 miles of Omaha, Nebraska. Concurrently with the purchase, we entered into a triple-net master lease agreement with affiliates of Nye Senior Services, LLC. The lease has an initial term of 10 years with four renewal options of five years each and provides for an annual rent escalator of 3.0%, resulting in annual lease revenues, determined in accordance with GAAP, of $8.0 million and an initial yield on cash rent of 7.78%.

In addition, we may pay an earn-out based on incremental portfolio value created through the improvement of current operations as well as through expansion and conversion projects. The earn-out amount will be determined based on portfolio performance following the third anniversary of our entry into the lease for the Nye Portfolio.

Issuance of 2021 Notes

On January 23, 2014, we, through the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation (the “Issuers”), completed an underwritten public offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior unsecured notes (the “2021 Notes”) pursuant to a supplemental indenture, dated January 23, 2014 (the “2021 Notes Indenture”). The 2021 Notes were sold at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $350.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $340.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The 2021 Notes mature on February 1, 2021 assuming they are not redeemed by us prior to that time in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Notes Indenture. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Loan Agreements.”

Tender Offer and Redemption of 2018 Notes

On January 8, 2014, we commenced a cash tender offer with respect to any and all of the outstanding $211.3 million of our 8.125% senior notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). Pursuant to the tender offer, we retired $210.9 million of the 2018 Notes at a premium of 109.837%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on January 23, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Notes Indenture (as defined below), the remaining $0.4 million of the 2018 Notes were called and were retired on February 11, 2014 at a redemption price of 109.485% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The tender offer and redemption resulted in approximately $21.6 million of tender offer and redemption related costs and write-offs for the three months ending March 31, 2014, including $20.8 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption and $0.8 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing and premium costs.

Mortgage Debt Refinancing

On January 21, 2014, we refinanced $44.8 million of existing variable rate mortgage indebtedness due August 2015 with mortgages guaranteed by HUD at an interest rate of 4.25% with maturities between 2039 and 2044. The refinancing resulted in $0.5 million of write-offs for the three months ending March 31, 2014, associated with unamortized deferred financing costs. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, we completed the refinancing of $11.6 million of variable rate mortgage indebtedness that was previously repaid with funds from our Revolving Credit Facility (defined below). This new mortgage loan is guaranteed by HUD, has an interest rate of 4.10% and matures in 2044.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU No. 2014-08”), which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if (i) there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations, or (ii) there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 2014, our investment portfolio included 129 real estate properties held for investment, 11 investments in loans receivable and two preferred equity investments. As of March 31, 2013, our investment portfolio included 119 real estate properties held for investment, three investments in loans receivable and two preferred equity investments. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of owning investments acquired in 2014 and 2013 for an entire period and the anticipated future acquisition of additional investments. The results of operations presented for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not directly comparable due to the increase in acquisitions made subsequent to the beginning of the respective comparable period in the preceding year.

Rental Income

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $36.1 million of rental income compared to $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The $4.6 million increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase of $4.7 million from properties acquired on or after January 1, 2013, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million primarily due to the senior housing facility that is part of the RIDEA-compliant joint venture. The revenue related to this facility is eliminated upon consolidation. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and there is no contingent rental income that may be derived from our properties.

Interest and Other Income

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $4.8 million of interest and other income, which consisted primarily of interest income earned on our 11 loans receivable investments, preferred dividends on our two preferred equity investments and resident fee income associated with our Senior Housing Joint Venture. As a result of consolidating our Senior

Table of Contents

Housing Joint Venture, we reflect its operating revenues of $0.7 million in our condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized $0.5 million of interest income, which consisted primarily of interest income earned on three loans receivable investments and preferred dividends on our two preferred equity investments.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred $9.4 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The $1.1 million net increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million from properties acquired on or after January 1, 2013, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million related to assets that have been fully depreciated.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred $11.1 million of interest expense compared to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The $1.1 million net increase is primarily related to (i) a $2.8 million increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the May 2013 issuance of the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes (defined below) and (ii) a $3.9 million increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the January 2014 issuance of the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes, partially offset by a $5.6 million net decrease in interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and premium related to the redemption of the outstanding 2018 Notes completed in February 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs, our Senior Housing Joint Venture operating costs and other costs associated with acquisition pursuit activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses were $5.9 million compared to $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The $1.1 million net increase is primarily related to (i) a $0.2 million increase in acquisition pursuit costs from $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, (ii) a $0.1 million holdback fee expense related to the Forest Park - Frisco contingent consideration, (iii) a $0.1 million increase in audit related expenses and (iv) $0.5 million of operating expenses for our Senior Housing Joint Venture along with a $0.1 million straight-line rental income write-off associated with the new lease agreement for the senior housing facility that is part of our Senior Housing Joint Venture. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, we incurred $2.5 million in stock-based compensation expense. The amount for the three months ended March 13, 2014 reflects an increase of $0.4 million in stock-based compensation as a result of meeting certain performance criteria under the terms of our performance-based stock units, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million related to annual stock bonuses paid to our management team. Management has elected to receive annual bonuses in stock rather than in cash and therefore changes in our stock price will result in changes to our bonus expense. The decrease in stock-based compensation as a result of the annual bonuses to be received in stock is due to the change in our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2014 (an increase of $1.75 per share) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 (an increase of $7.29 per share).

We expect acquisition pursuit costs to fluctuate from period to period depending on acquisition activity. We also expect stock-based compensation expense to fluctuate from period to period depending upon changes in our stock price and estimates associated with performance-based compensation.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $22.1 million of loss on debt extinguishment. Of this amount, $21.6 million related to the redemption fee paid and the write-offs of deferred financing costs and issuance premium in connection with the redemption of the outstanding 2018 Notes and $0.5 million related to the write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with our mortgage debt refinancing.

Other Income (Expense)

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $0.3 million in other income as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the Forest Park - Frisco acquisition as described in Note 4, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, $5.3 million was released from escrow to the seller of the Forest Park - Frisco facility as the result of the facility

Table of Contents

achieving certain of its performance hurdles. The remaining $5.2 million remains in escrow with its release contingent on the facility meeting additional performance hurdles.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) (and related per share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding non-cash revenues (including, but not limited to, straight-line rental income adjustments and write-offs, non-cash interest income adjustments and amortization of debt premium), non-cash expenses (including, but not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of debt discounts) and acquisition pursuit costs. We believe that the use of FFO and AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among REITs more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges, and real estate depreciation and amortization, and for AFFO, by excluding non-cash revenues (including, but not limited to, straight-line rental income adjustments and write-offs, non-cash interest income adjustments and amortization of debt premium), non-cash expenses (including, but not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of debt discounts) and acquisition pursuit costs, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.

The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, to net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same

Set forth below is additional information related to certain other items included in net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders above, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results. Please see the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for details of our operating, investing, and financing cash activities.

Significant Items Included in Net (Loss) Income:

•

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred $22.1 million of debt extinguishment loss. This amount includes $20.8 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption of the outstanding 2018 Notes and $0.8 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing and premium costs. The amount also includes $0.5 million in write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with our mortgage debt refinancing. The entire $22.1 million of the loss on extinguishment of debt is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the $20.8 million early redemption premium is included in AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

•

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $0.3 million of other income, as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the Forest Park - Frisco acquisition as described in Note 4, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2014.


•	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $0.1 million of straight-line rental income write-off associated with the new lease agreement for the senior housing facility that is part of the RIDEA-compliant joint venture that we entered into on January 1, 2014. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2014.


•	During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred $0.5 million of other income, as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the Stoney River Marshfield facility acquisition. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately $129.8 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $4.3 million and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $125.5 million. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $375.0 million and includes an accordion feature that allows the Operating Partnership to increase the borrowing availability by up to an additional $225.0 million, subject to terms and conditions.

Table of Contents

On January 23, 2014, we completed an underwritten public offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, providing net proceeds of approximately $340.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. A portion of these proceeds was used to (i) fund a tender offer for the 2018 Notes, (ii) fund the redemption price for 2018 Notes that were not retired in the tender offer and (iii) acquire the Nye Portfolio. See “—Loan Agreements.”

On March 18, 2013, we entered into a sales agreement (each, a “Sales Agreement”) with each of Barclays Capital Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (individually, a “Sales Agent” and together, the “Sales Agents”) to sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $100.0 million (the “ATM Shares”) from time to time through the Sales Agents.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreements, the ATM Shares may be sold by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for our common stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, with our prior consent, the Sales Agents may also sell the ATM Shares in privately negotiated transactions. We will pay each Sales Agent a commission of up to 2% of the gross proceeds from the sales of ATM Shares sold pursuant to the applicable Sales Agreement. We are not obligated to sell and the Sales Agents are not obligated to buy or sell any ATM Shares under the Sales Agreements. No assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the Sales Agreements, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we sell, or the dates when such sales will take place. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we sold 0.2 million ATM Shares, at an average price of $27.68 per share, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.6 million, before $0.1 million of commissions. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, we had $57.1 million available under the ATM Program.

In addition, we have filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that expires in May 2016, which will allow us to offer and sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, units, and certain of our subsidiaries to offer and sell debt securities, through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers, on a continuous or delayed basis, in amounts, at prices and on terms we determine at the time of the offering.

We believe that our available cash, operating cash flows and borrowings available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility provide sufficient funds for our operations, scheduled debt service payments with respect to our Senior Notes (defined below), mortgage indebtedness on our properties, and dividend requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, we do not believe that the restrictions under our Senior Notes Indentures (defined below) significantly limit our ability to use our available liquidity for these purposes.

We intend to invest in additional healthcare properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed, in whole or in part, by our existing cash, borrowings available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility, future borrowings or the proceeds from issuances of common stock (including through our ATM Program), preferred stock, debt or other securities. In addition, we expect to seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae and HUD, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions and refinancings of existing mortgage loans.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Operating cash inflows were derived primarily from the rental payments received under the lease agreements with subsidiaries of Genesis, rental payments from our other tenants and interest payments from borrowers under our loan investments. Operating cash outflows consisted primarily of interest and early redemption payments on our outstanding debt and payment of general and administrative expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of the $20.8 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption of the outstanding 2018 Notes, partially offset by acquisitions that resulted in increased rental and interest income. We expect our annualized cash flows provided by operating activities to increase as a result of completed and anticipated future real estate investments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in investing activities was $128.1 million and consisted of $108.7 million used in the acquisition of six skilled nursing facilities and two senior housing facilities, $19.4 million used to originate one loan receivable and provide additional funding for existing loans receivable and $56,000 used for tenant improvements.

We expect to continue using available liquidity in connection with anticipated future real estate investments and loan originations.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $126.9 million and consisted of $350.0 million in proceeds from the January 2014 offering of 2021 Notes and $4.5 million in net proceeds from shares sold through the ATM Program, partially offset by the redemption of $211.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes, $16.6 million of dividends paid to stockholders, a net decrease in mortgage borrowings of $11.2 million in connection with our mortgage debt refinancing, $9.9 million of payments for deferred financing costs primarily related to the issuance of the 2021 Notes and $5.1 million in payments related to the issuance of common stock pursuant to equity compensation arrangements as well as expenses with respect to the ATM Program. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we borrowed $50.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility and repaid $23.5 million during the same period.

Loan Agreements

2021 Notes. On January 23, 2014, the Issuers issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes were sold at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $350.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $340.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The 2021 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

The 2021 Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on or after February 1, 2017, at the redemption prices set forth in the 2021 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. In addition, prior to February 1, 2017, the Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to February 1, 2017, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes, using the proceeds of specific kinds of equity offerings, at a redemption price of 105.5% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. Assuming the 2021 Notes are not redeemed, the 2021 Notes mature on February 1, 2021.

2023 Notes. On May 23, 2013, the Issuers issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes were sold at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $200.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $194.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The 2023 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

2018 Notes. On October 27, 2010 and July 26, 2012, the Issuers issued $225.0 million and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes, respectively. Pursuant to exchange offers completed on March 14, 2011 and November 14, 2012, the Issuers exchanged the 2018 Notes that were issued in October 2010 and July 2012 for substantially identical 2018 Notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2018 Notes accrued interest at a rate of 8.125% per annum payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year.

On January 8, 2014, we commenced a cash tender offer with respect to any and all of the outstanding $211.3 million of the 2018 Notes. Pursuant to the tender offer, we retired $210.9 million of the 2018 Notes at a premium of 109.837%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on January 23, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Notes Indenture, the remaining $0.4 million

Table of Contents

of the 2018 Notes were called and were retired on February 11, 2014 at a redemption price of 109.485% plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The obligations under the 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by us and certain of our other existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future material subsidiaries; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. See Note 10, “Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes Indentures”) contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Sabra, the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; (iii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, their capital stock; (iv) make certain investments or other restricted payments; (v) sell assets; (vi) create liens on their assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets; and (ix) create restrictions on the ability of Sabra's restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Sabra. The Senior Notes Indentures also provide for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal of, the Senior Notes, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Senior Notes Indentures for a period of time after notice has been provided, the acceleration of other indebtedness resulting from the failure to pay principal on such other indebtedness prior to its maturity, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the then outstanding Senior Notes may become due and payable immediately. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures.

Revolving Credit Facility. On July 29, 2013, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with certain lenders as set forth in the related credit agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (each as defined in such credit agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $375.0 million and includes an accordion feature that allows the Operating Partnership to increase the borrowing availability by up to an additional $225.0 million, subject to terms and conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by pledges of equity by our wholly-owned subsidiaries that own certain of our real estate assets. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on, among other factors, the mortgageability cash flow (as such term is defined in the related credit agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 29, 2016, and includes a one year extension option. As of March 31, 2014, there was $162.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $125.5 million available for borrowing.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, and will range from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 1.50% to 2.50% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of March 31, 2014, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.15%. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to pay a facility fee to the lenders equal to between 0.35% and 0.50% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred $1.2 million in interest expense on amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $0.3 million of unused facility fees.

The obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. Such limitations on distributions also include a limitation on the extent of allowable distributions made during a trailing four-quarter period not to exceed the greater of (a) the sum of (x) Adjusted Funds from Operations for the trailing four-quarter periods and (y) the net proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity and (b) the minimum amount of distributions required us to maintain its REIT status. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires us, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Mortgage Indebtedness

Of our 129 properties held for investment, 18 are subject to mortgage indebtedness to third parties that, as of March 31, 2014, totaled approximately $130.1 million. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our mortgage notes payable consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):



Interest Rate Type	Book Value as of March 31, 2014		Book Value as of December 31, 2013		Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate at March 31, 2014		Maturity Date
Fixed Rate	$	100,335	$	54,688	3.66	%	May 2031 - June 2047
Variable Rate⁽¹⁾	29,771		86,640		5.00	%	August 2015
	$	130,106	$	141,328	3.97	%


⁽¹⁾	Contractual interest rates under variable rate mortgages are equal to the 90-day LIBOR plus 4.0% (subject to a 1.0% LIBOR floor).

Capital Expenditures

There was $0.1 million of capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and no capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2013. There are no present plans for the improvement or development of any unimproved or undeveloped property; however, from time to time we may agree to fund improvements our tenants make at our facilities. Accordingly, we anticipate that our aggregate capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months will not exceed $3.0 million, and that such expenditures will principally be for improvements to our facilities and result in incremental rental income.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $16.6 million on our common and preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014. On May 5, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 30, 2014 to common stockholders of record as of May 15, 2014. Also on May 5, 2014, our board of directors declared the a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on May 30, 2014 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2014.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risks arise when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to our investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks.

Genesis

Effective December 1, 2012, Sun was acquired by Genesis, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis. In connection with this transaction, we obtained a parent guaranty from Genesis to replace the then-existing Sun guaranty of the lease obligations of its subsidiaries that are tenants under our lease agreements. As of March 31, 2014, 81 of our 129 real estate properties held for investment were leased to subsidiaries of Genesis. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 49% and 64%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from these leases. Genesis is not an SEC registrant and is not subject to SEC reporting requirements. As of March 31, 2014, Genesis and its subsidiaries operated or managed 371 skilled nursing centers, 33 assisted or independent living centers and 6 mental health centers across 28 states. Genesis also provides rehabilitation therapy services to approximately 1,400 affiliated and non-affiliated centers in 45 states. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Genesis’s net revenues were $1.2 billion and adjusted normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent were $151.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, Genesis’s net revenues were $1.2 billion and adjusted normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent were $143.0 million. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Genesis's long-term debt, net of cash, totaled $455.8 million and $428.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Genesis had liquidity of approximately $117.6 million and $153.7 million, respectively, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

We have presented below unaudited summary financial information for Genesis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. As described above, Genesis has provided a parent guaranty of the lease obligations of its subsidiaries that are tenants under our lease agreements. The summary financial information

Other than our significant tenant concentrations, management believes our current portfolio is reasonably diversified across healthcare related real estate and geographical location and does not contain any other significant concentration of credit risks. Our portfolio of 129 real estate properties held for investment as of March 31, 2014 is diversified by location across 28 states. The properties in any one state did not account for more than 20% of the Company’s total rental revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates

Medicare reimburses skilled nursing facilities for Medicare Part A services under the Prospective Payment System (“PPS”), as implemented pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and modified pursuant to subsequent laws, most recently the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”). PPS regulations predetermine a payment amount per patient, per day, based on a market basket index calculated for all covered costs. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into one of 66 Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) categories that represent the level of services required to treat different conditions and levels of acuity.

The current system of 66 RUG categories, or Resource Utilization Group version IV (“RUG IV”), became effective as of October 1, 2010. RUG IV resulted from research performed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and was part of CMS's continuing effort to increase the correlation of the cost of services to the condition of individual patients.

On July 31, 2013, CMS released final fiscal year 2014 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing a net increase of 1.3% over fiscal year 2013 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.3% less 0.5% for a forecast error correction and less the productivity adjustment of 0.5%).

On May 1, 2014, CMS released projections for fiscal year 2015 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities of a net increase of 2.0% over fiscal year 2014 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.4% and less the productivity adjustment of 0.4%).

⁽¹⁾	Mortgage indebtedness includes principal payments and interest payments through the maturity dates. Total interest on mortgage indebtedness, based on contractual rates, is $55.9 million, of which $2.1 million is attributable to variable interest rates determined using the weighted average method.


⁽²⁾	Senior Notes includes interest payments through the maturity dates. Total interest on the Senior Notes is $236.9 million.

In addition to the above, we have committed to provide up to $105.9 million of funding related to four debt investments and two preferred equity investments. As of March 31, 2014, we had funded $54.4 million of these commitments. The debt investments have maturity dates ranging from 2016 through 2018.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk with respect to our indebtedness. As of March 31, 2014, this indebtedness included $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding, $130.1 million of mortgage indebtedness to third parties on certain of the properties that our subsidiaries own and $162.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2014, $191.8 million of our outstanding indebtedness had a variable interest rate. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, we had $125.5 million available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility. From time to time, we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, or for other purposes. Because borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at our option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, the interest rate we will be required to pay on any such borrowings will depend on then applicable rates and may vary. An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any acquisition by us more costly. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness. Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate related to our variable rate debt, and assuming no change in our outstanding debt balance as of March 31, 2014, interest expense would increase $1.7 million for the twelve months following March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the index underlying our variable rate mortgages was below 100 basis points and if this index would have decreased to zero during the 12 months ended March 31, 2014, interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease by $0.2 million.

We expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness. We also may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of interest rate swap agreements, although we are not currently a party to any swap agreements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
