UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2004

(unaudited)

 

(1) General

 

This Report on Form 10-Q is for the Quarterly Period ended September 30, 2004. In this Quarterly Report, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Trust” refer to Universal Health Realty Income Trust.

 

You should carefully review all of the information contained in this Quarterly Report, and should particularly consider any risk factors that we set forth in this Quarterly Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. In this Quarterly Report, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify those so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors. Those factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our forward-looking statements.

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated limited liability companies in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%. We currently account for our share of the income/loss from these investments by the equity method (see Note 7). As of September 30, 2004, we had investments in twenty-one limited liability companies (“LLCs”), eighteen of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are consolidated in the results of operations as of April 1, 2004. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we began consolidating the results of operations of these three LLC investments. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these three LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

 

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in our opinion, are necessary to fairly present results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation.

(2) Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Related Party Transactions

 

UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) dated December 24, 1986. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year, however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS, that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement has been renewed for 2004.

 

The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee equal to .60% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet from time to time. The Advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. Our officers are all employees of the Advisor and although we have no salaried employees, certain officers do receive stock-based compensation from time to time. Advisory fees paid to UHS amounted to $377,000 and $388,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $1.1 million for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

 

At September 30, 2004, subsidiaries of Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) leased six hospital facilities owned by us with terms expiring in 2004 through 2008. The leases with subsidiaries of UHS are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another. Pursuant to the terms of our leases with subsidiaries of UHS, we earn fixed monthly base rents plus bonus rents based upon each facility’s net patient revenue in excess of base amounts. The bonus rents are computed and paid on a quarterly basis upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. These leases contain remaining renewal options ranging from two to five, five-year periods. Pursuant to the terms of the leases with UHS, UHS has the option to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms at the appraised market value. In addition, UHS has the rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.

 

The lease on the Virtue Street Pavilion facility (lessee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS), is scheduled to expire in December, 2004. The lessee of this facility has provided notice to us that they are exercising their option to purchase the facility at its fair market value. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the lease, independent appraisals were obtained by us and the lessee, which indicate that the fair market value of the property, and therefore the sale price, is $7,320,000. We expect this sale transaction, which will result in a gain of approximately $750,000, to occur in December of 2004 upon the expiration of the lease. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, this facility operated at a loss before interest, taxes,

 

Page 7 of 25


Table of Contents

depreciation, amortization and lease and rental expense. The annual minimum rent payable to us under the existing lease is $1,261,000 and no bonus rent was earned on this facility during 2003 or the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. As a result of this lease expiration and sale in December, 2004, our future funds from operations and results of operations will likely be adversely affected since at interest rates as currently projected, the reduction in annual interest expense resulting from repayment of borrowings using the sale proceeds is likely to be approximately $1 million less than the annual rental payments presently earned by us pursuant to this lease. The operating results of this facility are reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and as “Assets of facility held for sale” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2004. Selected operating results of the property reflected as discontinued operations is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Excluding the lease on the Virtue Street facility (which is shown as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income), the combined revenues generated from the leases on the other five UHS hospital facilities, accounted for approximately 47% and 59% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 52% and 60% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%, the combined revenues generated from the five UHS hospital facilities, accounted for 25% and 26% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 26% and 27% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of our combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenues. In addition, five medical office buildings owned by LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling equity interests, include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.

 

The lease on The Bridgeway facility (lessee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS), which was scheduled to expire in December, 2004, has been renewed for a five-year period through December, 2009, at the current lease terms.

 

During the third quarter of 2004, Wellington Regional Medical Center, our 121-bed acute care facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, sustained storm damage caused by a hurricane. This facility is leased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and pursuant to the terms of the lease, UHS is responsible for maintaining replacement cost property insurance for the facility, a substantial portion of which is insured by a commercial carrier. Although the facility has not experienced significant business interruption, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, include a property write-down charge of $1.9 million representing the estimated net book value of the damaged assets. This property charge is offset by an equal amount recoverable from UHS. We expect the ultimate replacement cost of the damaged property to exceed the net book value and the excess cost will also be recoverable from UHS.

Table of Contents

UHS owned approximately 6.7% percent of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest as of September 30, 2004. We have granted UHS an option to purchase our shares in the future at fair market value to enable UHS to maintain a 5% interest in us.

 

(3) Dividends

 

A dividend of $.50 per share or $5.9 million in the aggregate was declared by the Board of Trustees on September 1, 2004 and was paid on September 30, 2004 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2004.

 

(4) Financial Instruments

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

We recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), income of $29,000 and $413,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $796,000 and $555,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to recognize the change in fair value of the effective portion of all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. Such income or losses will be reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings, such as when the forecasted interest payments occur. Assuming the yield curve remains unchanged from September 30, 2004, it is expected that approximately $776,000 of net losses in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. We also recorded income/(losses) in earnings of $2,000 and $46,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $83,000 and ($33,000) for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to recognize the ineffective portion of these cash flow hedging instruments. The maximum amount of time over which we are hedging a portion of our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is through November, 2006.

 

(5) Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income represents net income plus the results of certain non-shareholders’ equity changes not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The components of comprehensive income are as follows (amounts in thousands):

(6) Stock-Based Compensation

 

At September 30, 2004, we have two stock-based compensation plans. We account for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. No compensation cost is reflected in net income for stock option grants, as all options granted under the plan had an original exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. We recognize compensation cost related to restricted share awards over the respective vesting periods. As of September 30, 2004, there were no unvested restricted share awards outstanding. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003:

(7) Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”)

 

In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights”, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, in which we hold 33% to 98% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of equity in the net income, cash contributions to and distributions from these investments.

 

As of September 30, 2004, we had investments in twenty-one limited liability companies (“LLCs”), eighteen of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are consolidated in the results of operations as of April 1, 2004. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we began consolidating the results of operations of these three LLC investments. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these three LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

 

The September 30, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheet includes the: (i) assets; (ii) liabilities; (iii) third-party borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, and; (iv) minority interests, of the three LLC investments that are considered to be variable interest entities. As a result of FIN 46R, assets of $39.1 million and borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, of $22.2 million were reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2004. Additionally, for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, our Consolidated Statements of Income included $1.6 million of revenue, $294,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, $532,000 of other operating expenses and $431,000 of interest expense recorded in connection with the consolidation of these LLCs. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, our Consolidated Statements of Income included $3.2 million of revenue, $586,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, $1.1 million of other operating expenses and $863,000 of interest expense recorded in connection with the consolidation of these LLCs.

Excluding the three consolidated LLCs mentioned above, since inception through September 30, 2004, we made total initial cash investments of $44.1 million in LLCs in which we own various non-controlling equity interests. Including the cumulative adjustments for our share of equity in the net income of the LLCs and cash contributions to and distributions from these investments, our net investment in these LLCs was $38.8 million, as reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2004.

 

During the second quarter of 2004, Parkvale Properties sold the real property of Maryvale Hospital MOB which is located in Phoenix, Arizona. Our share of the net sale proceeds resulting from this transaction was $950,000 which is included as a gain on sale of real property in our results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 since the carrying value of this investment was reduced to zero in a prior year.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003, 23650 Madison and PacPal Investments sold the real estate assets of Skypark Professional Medical Building and Pacifica Palms Medical Plaza, respectively, both of which are located in Torrance, California. Our share of the combined net sales proceeds resulting from these transactions was $6.4 million. We received proceeds for both of these sales during the second quarter of 2004.

 

As of September 30, 2004, we had investments in twenty-one limited liability companies (“LLCs”), eighteen of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are consolidated in the results of operations as of April 1, 2004.

For each of these entities, we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment. Beginning on April 1, 2004, pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46R, we began to consolidate the results of operations of these LLCs on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs.
(c.) We have committed to invest a total of $8.9 million ($6.4 million in equity and $2.5 million in debt financing) in exchange for a 75% non-controlling interest in a LLC that will construct and own a professional office building located in Reno, Nevada. The office building is scheduled to be completed and opened in the first quarter of 2005. As of September 30, 2004, we advanced $1.5 million in connection with this project, and the LLC has borrowed $12.1 million in construction loans from a $26 million total construction loan commitment.

The Non-Offering Member has 60 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering-Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.

 

(8) Segment Reporting

 

Our primary segment is leasing of healthcare and human service facilities, and all revenues from external customers are related to the same segment. Operating results and assessment of performance are reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker on a company-wide basis and no discrete financial information is available or produced on any one component of the business. Accordingly, the disclosure requirements of SFAS 131 are not applicable to us as we operate in one segment.

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

 

Overview

 

We are a real estate investment trust that commenced operations in 1986. We invest in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral healthcare facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute facilities, surgery centers, childcare centers and medical office buildings. As of September 30, 2004, we have forty-three real estate investments located in fifteen states consisting of:

 

  eight hospital facilities including four acute care, one behavioral healthcare, two rehabilitation and one sub-acute;

 

  thirty-one medical office buildings, and;

 

  four preschool and childcare centers.

 

Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors

 

The matters discussed in this report, as well as the news releases issued from time to time by us, include certain statements containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “expects” and words of similar import, which constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

Such factors include, among other things, the following:

 

  a substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, Universal Health Services, Inc., (“UHS”);

 

  UHS is our Advisor and our officers are all employees of UHS, which may create the potential for conflicts of interest;

 

  a substantial portion of our leases are involved in the healthcare industry which is undergoing substantial changes and is subject to possible changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement from third-party payors and government reimbursement programs, including Medicare and Medicaid;

 

  we cannot predict whether the leases on our properties, including the leases on the properties leased to subsidiaries of UHS, which have options to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease or renewal terms at the appraised fair market value, will be renewed at their current rates at the end of the lease terms. If the leases are not renewed, we may be required to find other operators for these facilities and/or enter into leases with less favorable terms. If the UHS facilities are purchased by the lessees at the end of the lease term, the economic return earned by us on the sale proceeds may be less favorable than the rental revenue currently earned on the facilities;

 

  our ability to finance our growth on favorable terms;

 

Page 14 of 25


Table of Contents
  liability and other claims asserted against us or operators of our facilities;

 

  the fact that we have majority ownership interests in various LLCs in which we hold non-controlling equity interests;

 

  a large portion of our non-hospital properties consist of medical office buildings which are either directly or indirectly affected by the factors discussed herein as well as general real estate factors such as the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets;

 

  the operators of our facilities, including UHS, are confronted with other issues such as: industry capacity; demographic changes; existing laws and government regulations and changes in or failure to comply with laws and governmental regulations; the ability to enter into managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms; an increase in uninsured and self-pay patients which unfavorably impacts the collectibility of patient accounts; competition by other healthcare providers, including physician owned facilities; decreasing inpatient admission trends; the loss of significant customers; technological and pharmaceutical improvements that increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for healthcare; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including physicians;

 

  operators of our facilities, particularly UHS, have experienced a significant increase in property insurance (including earthquake insurance in California) and general and professional liability insurance and as a result, certain operators have assumed a greater portion of their liability risk and there can be no assurance that a continuation of these unfavorable trends, or a sharp increase in claims asserted against the operators of our facilities, which are self-insured, will not have a material adverse effect on their future results of operations, and;

 

  other factors referenced herein or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In addition, in certain markets, including McAllen, Texas, the site of our largest facility, competition from other healthcare providers, including physician owned facilities, has increased and additional inpatient capacity at a physician owned hospital is expected to open in late 2004 or early 2005. A continuation of the increased provider competition in the markets in which our hospital facilities operate, including McAllen, Texas, could have an adverse effect on the net revenues and financial results of the operators of our hospital facilities which may negatively impact the bonus rentals earned by us on these facilities and may potentially have a negative impact on the underlying value of the properties.

 

In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) we must comply with certain highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Service requirements. Although we intend to remain so qualified, there may be facts and circumstances beyond our control that may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. Failure to qualify as a REIT may subject us to income tax liabilities, including federal income tax at regular corporate rates. The additional income tax incurred may significantly reduce the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for debt service. In addition, if disqualified, we might be barred from qualification as a REIT for four years following disqualification. Although we believe we have been qualified as a REIT since our inception, there can be no assurance that we have been so qualified or will remain qualified in the future.

Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, these factors will have on our operating results or our lessees, including the facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Management of the Trust disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require us to make significant judgments and estimates when we prepare our financial statements, including the following:

 

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. Our revenues consist primarily of rentals received from tenants, which are comprised of minimum rent (base rentals), bonus rentals and reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of expenses such as common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and utilities. The minimum rent for all hospital facilities is fixed over the initial term or renewal term of the respective leases. Minimum rent for other material leases is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Bonus rents are recognized based upon increases in each facility’s net patient revenue in excess of stipulated amounts. Bonus rentals are determined and paid each quarter based upon a computation that compares the respective facility’s current quarter’s net revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. Tenant reimbursements are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred by us.

 

Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”) - Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity as for each of these entities we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights”, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, in which we hold 33% to 98% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions and distributions of the investments.

 

As of September 30, 2004, we had investments in twenty-one limited liability companies (“LLCs”), eighteen of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are consolidated in the results of operations as of April 1, 2004. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we began consolidating the results of operations of these three LLC investments. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these three LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

 

Rental income recorded by the LLCs relating to leases in excess of one year in length, is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. The amount of rental revenue resulting from straight-line rent adjustments is dependent on many factors including the nature and amount of any rental concessions granted to new tenants, scheduled rent increases under existing leases, as well as the acquisitions and sales of properties that have existing in-place leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the straight-line adjustments to rental revenue may vary from period-to-period.

Table of Contents

Federal Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. As such, we are exempt from federal income taxes and we are required to distribute at least 90% of our real estate investment taxable income to our shareholders.

 

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.

 

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for investment losses.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, income from continuing operations totaled $5.3 million and $5.1 million or $.45 and $.43 per diluted share, respectively, on revenues of $8.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. For each of the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, income from discontinued operations totaled $248,000 or $.02 per diluted share.

 

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, revenues increased $1.6 million, depreciation and amortization increased $296,000 and other operating expenses increased $533,000, all due primarily to the consolidation of the results of operations of the three LLCs, as mentioned above. Interest expense increased $295,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, due to an increase of $431,000 resulting from the consolidation of the LLCs, partially offset by a

 

Page 17 of 25


Table of Contents

decrease of $136,000 due to the expiration of an interest rate swap agreement and a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings. Equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs decreased $314,000 during the third quarter of 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, due primarily to the consolidation of the three LLCs. Net income increased $199,000 during the three month period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, due primarily to the $136,000 reduction in interest expense, as mentioned above.

 

During the third quarter of 2004, Wellington Regional Medical Center, our 121-bed acute care facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, sustained storm damage caused by a hurricane. This facility is leased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and pursuant to the terms of the lease, UHS is responsible for maintaining replacement cost property insurance for the facility, a substantial portion of which is insured by a commercial carrier. Although the facility has not experienced significant business interruption, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, include a property write-down charge of $1.9 million representing the net book value of the affected assets. This property charge is offset by an equal amount recoverable from UHS. We expect the ultimate replacement cost of the damaged property to exceed the net book value and the excess cost will also be recoverable from UHS.

 

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, income from continuing operations totaled $16.3 million and $15.6 million or $1.38 and $1.33 per diluted share, respectively, on revenues of $23.6 million and $20.3 million, respectively. Included in the income from continuing operations and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations are gains of $1.0 million or $.09 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $365,000 or $.03 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, resulting from the sales of real property by unconsolidated LLCs. For both nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, income from discontinued operations totaled $744,000 or $.06 per diluted share.

 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year period, revenues increased $3.3 million, depreciation and amortization increased $639,000 and other operating expenses increased $1.2 million, each due primarily to the consolidation of the results of operations of the three LLCs, as mentioned above. Interest expense increased $608,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year nine month period, due to an increase of $863,000 resulting from the consolidation of the LLCs, partially offset by a decrease of $255,000 due to the expiration of an interest rate swap agreement and a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings. Equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs decreased $151,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year period, due to: (i) a $1.0 million gain on sale of real property recorded during the nine months of 2004, as compared to $365,000 during the comparable prior year period; (ii) the $657,000 decrease during the 2004 nine month period due to the consolidation of the three LLCs; (iii) a $440,000 decrease due to additional depreciation and amortization expense recorded during the first quarter of 2004 at certain LLCs, as discussed below, and; (iv) a $311,000 increase due to other net favorable changes. During the first quarter of 2004, certain LLCs in which we hold equity interests, revised their purchase price allocations for recent acquisitions to reflect the identification of in-place leases and above and below market value lease intangibles. As a result, depreciation and amortization expense recorded at these LLCs for the first quarter of 2004 increased by $475,000 ($440,000 was our share) to reflect the additional expense from the respective acquisitions dates, however, there was no affect on our consolidated cash flows or funds from operations.

Included in our other operating expenses were the expenses related to the medical office buildings which totaled $1.2 million and $639,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $3.1 million and $1.9 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increases during each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year periods, resulted primarily from the consolidation of the three LLCs. A portion of the expenses associated with these medical office buildings is passed on directly to the tenants. Such amounts are included as tenant reimbursement revenue in our statements of income.

 

The lease on The Bridgeway facility (lessee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS) was scheduled to expire in December, 2004, however, the lessee has provided notice to us that they are extending their lease for another five-year period through December, 2009, at the current lease terms.

 

During 2004, lessee of Tri-State Regional Rehabilitation Hospital extended their lease for another five-year period to June of 2009. The renewal rate, which is based on the five-year Treasury rate immediately preceding the commencement of the lease renewal, results in a reduction in annual base rental on this facility of $321,000.

 

The lease on the Virtue Street Pavilion facility (lessee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS), is scheduled to expire in December, 2004. The lessee of this facility has provided notice to us that they are exercising their option to purchase the facility at its fair market value. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the lease, independent appraisals were obtained by us and the lessee, which indicate that the fair market value of the property, and therefore the sale price, is $7,320,000. We expect this sale transaction, which will result in a gain of approximately $750,000, to occur in December of 2004 upon the expiration of the lease. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, this facility operated at a loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease and rental expense. The annual minimum rent payable to us under the existing lease is $1,261,000 and no bonus rent was earned on this facility during 2003 or the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. As a result of this lease expiration and sale in December, 2004, our future funds from operations and results of operations will likely be adversely affected since at interest rates as currently projected, the reduction in annual interest expense resulting from repayment of borrowings using the sale proceeds is likely to be approximately $1 million less than the annual rental payments presently earned by us pursuant to this lease. The operating results of this facility are reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and as “Assets of facility held for sale” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2004.

 

Funds from operations (“FFO”), is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors. We believe FFO provides investors with useful information about our operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization expense. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the

NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income, determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) as a measure of our liquidity; (iv) nor is FFO an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

 

FFO increased 5% to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $7.5 million in the comparable prior year quarter. FFO increased 4% to $23.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $22.3 million in the comparable prior year period. Below is a reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The $310,000 net favorable change during the first nine months of 2004, as compared to the comparable prior year period, was primarily attributable to: (i) a $675,000 favorable change in net income plus the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities (depreciation and amortization and gains on sales of properties by LLCs), as discussed in Results of Operations; (ii) a $72,000 unfavorable change in rent receivable; (iii) a $39,000 unfavorable change in accrued expenses and other liabilities; (iv) a $62,000 unfavorable change in tenant escrows, deposits and prepaid rents, (v) a $162,000 unfavorable change in accrued interest, and; (vi) $30,000 of other net unfavorable changes.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

 

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we funded equity investments of $2.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively, in LLCs in which we own non-controlling equity interests. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we funded $445,000 and $7.4 million in loans (net of repayments), respectively, to LLCs which are expected to be reimbursed to us once third-party financing is obtained. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, we received: (i) $1.6 million of distributions in excess of net income from LLCs; (ii) $6.4 million representing our share of the proceeds from the sale

of two medical office buildings located in Torrance, California, during 2003 (cash was being held in a like-kind exchange escrow account, however, like-kind exchange transactions did not occur); (iii) $1.0 million representing our share of the proceeds from the sale of a medical office building by a LLC during the second quarter of 2004, and; (iv) $800,000 from debt refinancing by a LLC. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, we received: (i) $910,000 of distributions in excess of net income from LLCs; (ii) $365,000 representing our share of the proceeds from the sale of a medical office building by a LLC during the first quarter of 2003, and; (iii) $733,000 from debt refinancing by a LLC. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we spent $136,000 and $292,000 respectively, for capital additions at our existing properties.

 

Net cash used in financing activities

 

We paid dividends of $17.6 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and $17.2 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. We also made net debt repayments of $9.4 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, and had net additional borrowings of $9.7 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. Additionally, during 2003, we paid $540,000 in fees relating to our $80 million revolving credit agreement which commenced during the second quarter of 2003. We generated $452,000 and $504,000 during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest pursuant to the terms of our Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan.

 

Credit facilities and mortgage debt

 

We have an unsecured $80 million revolving credit agreement (the “Agreement”) which expires on May 27, 2007. We have a one-time option, which can be exercised at any time, to increase the amount by $20 million for a total commitment of $100 million. The Agreement provides for interest at our option, at the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% to 1.40% or the prime rate plus zero to .40%. A fee of .25% to .35% is paid on the unused portion of this commitment. The margins over the Eurodollar rate, prime rate and the commitment fee are based upon our debt to total capital ratio as defined by the Agreement. At September 30, 2004, the applicable margin over the Eurodollar rate was 1.00% and the commitment fee was .25%. At September 30, 2004, we had $13.2 million of letters of credit outstanding against the Agreement. There are no compensating balance requirements. The Agreement contains a provision whereby the commitments will be reduced by 50% of the proceeds generated from any new equity offering. At September 30, 2004, we had approximately $43 million of available borrowing capacity under this agreement.

 

Covenants relating to the revolving credit facility require the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and specified financial ratios, limit our ability to incur additional debt, limit the aggregate amount of our mortgage receivables and limit our ability to increase dividends in excess of 95% of cash available for distribution, unless additional distributions are required to comply with the applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations governing real estate investment trusts. We are in compliance with such covenants at September 30, 2004.
