UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2005

(unaudited)

 

(1) General

 

This Report on Form 10-Q is for the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2005. 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 8). As of March 31, 2005, we had investments or commitments in twenty-two limited liability companies (“LLCs”), nineteen 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 the 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 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, 2004. 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, tax 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 Independent 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 2005. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees.

 

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 incurred and payable to UHS amounted to $355,000 and $374,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2005, subsidiaries of UHS leased five hospital facilities owned by us with terms expiring in 2006 through 2009. 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, based 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.

 

Upon the December, 2004 lease expiration on the Virtue Street Pavilion, the former lessee (a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS), exercised its option pursuant to the terms of the lease and purchased the facility at its appraised fair market value of $7,320,000. Prior to the transaction, the annual minimum rent payable to us under the lease was $1,261,000 and no bonus rent was earned on this facility during 2004. As a result of this transaction, our future funds from operations and results of operations will likely be adversely affected since at interest rates as

Table of Contents

currently projected, the reduction in annual interest expense resulting from repayment of borrowings using the $7.3 million of sale proceeds is likely to be approximately $1 million less than the annual rental payments earned by us pursuant to the terms of the lease. During the three month period ended March 31, 2004, we earned $315,000 of revenue, incurred $67,000 of depreciation expense and generated $248,000 of net income in connection with this facility. These operating results were reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

Excluding the lease on the Virtue Street facility, the combined revenues generated from the leases on the other five UHS hospital facilities, accounted for approximately 48% and 60% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, 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 approximately 26% for both three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, 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.

 

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 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. The facility did not experience significant business interruption. Our Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004, included a property write-down charge of $1.9 million representing the estimated net book value of the damaged assets. This property charge was offset at that time by an equal amount recoverable from UHS. During 2004, UHS incurred approximately $1.9 million in replacement costs in connection with this property and that amount was included as construction in progress on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, UHS incurred an additional $1.5 million in replacement costs. Since these additional costs have also been recovered from UHS, $1.5 million has been included in net income during the three month period ended March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, UHS spent a total of approximately $3.4 million to replace the damaged property at this facility and this amount is reflected as buildings and improvements on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We expect additional replacement costs to be incurred in connection with this property and the additional costs will also be recoverable from UHS.

 

UHS has the option to purchase our shares of beneficial interest at fair market value to maintain a 5% interest in the Trust. As of March 31, 2005, UHS owned 6.7% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

 

(3) Dividends

 

A dividend of $.505 per share or $5.9 million in the aggregate was declared by the Board of Trustees on March 1, 2005 and was paid on March 31, 2005 to shareholders of record as of March 16, 2005. Additionally, a dividend of $.555 per share, or approximately $6.5 million in the aggregate was declared by the Board of Trustees on April 21, 2005 and is payable on May 31, 2005 to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2005.

(4) Acquisitions and Dispositions

 

During the first quarter of 2005, Bayway Properties, a LLC in which we owned a 73% non-controlling ownership interest, sold the real estate assets of the East Mesa Medical Center, which is located in Mesa, Arizona. Our share of the net sale proceeds resulting from this transaction was $2.9 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million which is included in our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, we committed to invest a total of up to $11.0 million ($3.0 million in equity and $8.0 million in debt financing, none of which was funded as of March 31, 2005) in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a LLC that will develop, construct, own and operate the Spring Valley Medical Office Building II, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. This LLC is expected to open during the second quarter of 2006. This MOB will be 50% master leased for five years by Valley Health System (“VHS”), a majority-owned subsidiary of UHS, on a triple net basis. The master lease for each suite will be cancelled at such time that the suite is leased to another tenant acceptable to the LLC and VHS for a minimum term of five years.

 

(5) Financial Instruments

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

At January 1, 2005, we had two $10 million interest rate swap agreements outstanding having a total notional principal amount of $20 million which mature from July, 2006 through November, 2006. The interest rate swap agreements were entered into in anticipation of certain forecasted borrowing transactions made by us. During the first quarter of 2005, based on revised borrowing forecasts, one of these $10 million interest rate swap agreements was deemed to be ineffective. In connection with this ineffective interest rate swap agreement, we recorded a net loss of $252,000 which is included in interest expense during the first quarter of 2005, consisting of the following: (i) a loss of $515,000 representing the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as of January 1, 2005, and; (ii) a gain of $263,000 to recognize the change in fair value of this derivative during the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded losses of $10,000 to recognize the ineffective portion of these cash flow hedging instruments.

 

We also recorded in AOCI, increases of $87,000 and $62,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, to recognize the change in fair value of the effective portion of 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 March 31, 2005, it is expected that approximately $263,000 of net losses in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. 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.

 

(6) Comprehensive Income

 

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

(7) Stock-Based Compensation

 

At March 31, 2005, 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.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Office of the Chief Accountant and its Division of Corporation Finance announced the release of Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 107) in response to frequently asked questions and to provide the SEC staff’s views regarding the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (SFAS 123(R)). SAB 107 provides interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations; addresses the staff’s views on the subject of valuation of share-based payment transactions for public companies; and reiterates the importance of disclosures related to share-based payment transactions in the financial statements filed with the SEC.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions), eliminating the alternative previously allowed by SFAS No. 123 to use the intrinsic value method of accounting. The grant date fair value will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of the instruments using methods similar to those required by SFAS No. 123 and currently used by us to calculate pro forma net income and earnings per share disclosures. The cost will be recognized ratably over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

 

The SEC deferred the effective date for SFAS 123(R) for public companies from the interim to the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) as of January 1, 2006. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), we will recognize as compensation cost in our financial statements the unvested portion of existing options granted prior to the effective date and the cost of stock options granted to employees after the effective date based on the fair value of the stock options at grant date. Based on stock options outstanding at March 31, 2005, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) is not expected to have a material impact on our 2006 consolidated financial statements.

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,” for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. We recognize compensation cost related to restricted share awards over the respective vesting periods. As of March 31, 2005, there were no unvested restricted share awards outstanding.

(8) Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment in the entity. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for

 

Page 11 of 30


Table of Contents

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 investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, which represent 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 to, and distributions from, the investments.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation, as revised (“FIN 46R”), addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FIN 46R. 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 the 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. Included on our March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheets are the: (i) assets; (ii) liabilities; (iii) third-party borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, and; (iv) minority interests, of these three LLC investments. Also as a consequence of FIN 46R, beginning on April 1, 2004, we began consolidating the results of operations of these LLC investments on our Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

 

Rental income recorded at 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 acquisition 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.

 

Excluding the three consolidated LLCs mentioned above, since inception through March 31, 2005, we made total initial cash investments of $35.7 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 $30.5 million, as reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2005.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, Gold Shadow Properties repaid $5.9 million of a loan provided by us, and the remaining $600,000 was repaid subsequent to the first quarter of 2005.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, Bayway Properties, a LLC in which we owned a 73% non-controlling ownership interest, sold the real estate assets of the East Mesa Medical Center, which is located in Mesa, Arizona. Our share of the net sale proceeds resulting from this transaction was $2.9 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million which is included in our results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2005.

This project is scheduled to be completed and opened during the fourth quarter of 2005.
(d.) We have committed to invest a total of up to $11.0 million ($3.0 million in equity and $8.0 million in debt financing, none of which has been funded as of March 31, 2005) in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a LLC that will develop, construct, own and operate the Spring Valley Hospital Medical Office Building II, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. This project is scheduled to be completed and opened during the second quarter of 2006.

Pursuant to the operating agreements of the LLCs, the third-party members and the Trust, at any time, have the right to make an offer (“Offering Member”) to the other member(s) (“Non-Offering Member”) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the

Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Sell”) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (“Transfer Price”), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (“Offer to Purchase”) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. 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.

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2005, we entered into an agreement with the third-party member to many of the LLCs in which we hold various ownership interests, whereby we agreed to purchase from the third-party member, additional ownership interests in four existing LLCs and agreed to sell to the third-party member, a portion of our ownership interest in one existing LLC. During the second quarter of 2005, we paid approximately $2.4 million in cash to the third-party member as net consideration for these transactions. In connection with this agreement, we also established two master limited liability companies to hold certain of the jointly-owned LLCs and entered into a new ventures agreement that will govern all our future joint investments with this third-party member.

 

(9) 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. Additionally, we may, from time to time, loan funds to external parties. 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, no additional disclosure requirements under SFAS 131 are required.

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 March 31, 2005, we have forty-three real estate investments or committments located in fifteen states consisting of:

 

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

 

    thirty-two medical office buildings, including twenty-two owned by various LLCs, 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;

 

    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;

 

    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;

 

Page 16 of 30


Table of Contents
    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. 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;

 

    a substantial portion of our leases are involved in the healthcare industry which continues to undergo change 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;

 

    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 opened in late 2004. 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 the operating results of 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 regardless of when payments are due. Bonus rents are recognized when earned based upon increases in each facility’s net 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 for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred.

 

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 where we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment in the entity. 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, which represent 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 to, and distributions from, the investments.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation, as revised (“FIN 46R”), addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FIN 46R. 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 (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, we are the primary beneficiary of

 

Page 18 of 30


Table of Contents

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. Included on our March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheets are the: (i) assets; (ii) liabilities; (iii) third-party borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, and; (iv) minority interests, of these three LLC investments. Also as a consequence of FIN 46R, beginning on April 1, 2004, we began consolidating the results of operations of these LLC investments on our Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

 

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.

 

Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions

 

UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor under an Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986 between the Advisor and us (the “Advisory Agreement”). 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, tax 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 Independent 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 2005. All transactions with UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees. Our officers are all employees of UHS and as of March 31, 2005, we had no salaried employees.

 

At March 31, 2005, subsidiaries of UHS leased five hospital facilities owned by us with terms expiring in 2006 through 2009. The combined revenues generated from the leases on these five UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 48% and 60% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, 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

 

Page 19 of 30


Table of Contents

facilities accounted for 26% for both three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, of our combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenues. The leases on the hospital facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS are guaranteed by UHS and cross-defaulted with one another. 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. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, income from continuing operations totaled $7.6 million and $4.8 million or $.64 and $.41 per diluted share, respectively, on revenues of $8.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, income from discontinued operations totaled $248,000 or $.02 per diluted share. Net income increased $2.5 million to $7.6 million or $.64 per diluted share during the three month period ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $5.1 million or $.43 per diluted share during the comparable prior year quarter.

 

The $2.8 million increase in income from continuing operations during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, was primarily due to: (i) a $1.5 million gain recorded during the first quarter of 2005 related to property damaged recovered from UHS in connection with replacement of damaged property at Wellington Regional Medical Center resulting from a hurricane during 2004, as discussed below; (ii) a $1.1 million gain resulting from the sale, during the first quarter of 2005, of East Mesa Medical Center by a LLC in which we owned a 73% non-controlling ownership interest, and; (iii) $191,000 of other net favorable changes. The $2.5 million increase in net income during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, was due primarily to the $2.8 million of increase in income from continuing operations, as discussed above, partially offset by $248,000 of net income recorded during the first quarter of 2004 in connection with the Virtue Street Pavilion which was purchased by UHS in December of 2004, as discussed below.

 

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, revenues increased $1.7 million, depreciation and amortization increased $329,000 and other operating expenses increased $785,000, all due primarily to the consolidation of the results of operations of the three LLCs, as discussed below. Also contributing to the increase in our other operating expenses was an increase of approximately $140,000 resulting partially from increases in insurance premiums on Directors and Officers insurance coverage.

 

Included in our other operating expenses are expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings, which totaled $1.3 million and $621,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The $638,000 increase in operating expenses related to our medical office buildings is due primarily to the consolidation of the three LLCs, as discussed below. A portion of the expenses associated with our consolidated medical office buildings is passed on directly to the tenants. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred and are included as tenant reimbursement revenue in our statements of income.

 

Interest expense increased $434,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, due primarily to: (i) an increase of $426,000 resulting from the consolidation of the LLCs, as discussed below; (ii) a net charge of $252,000 related to an interest-rate swap agreement that became ineffective based upon the forecasted borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and; (iii) a decrease of approximately $200,000 due primarily to a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings.

Equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs increased $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, due to: (i) a $1.1 million gain from the sale of real property (East Mesa Medical Center) by a LLC during the first quarter of 2005; (ii) $305,000 decrease due to the consolidation of the LLCs, as discussed below, and; (iii) $376,000 of other net favorable changes due primarily to additional depreciation and amortization expense recorded at certain LLCs during the first quarter of 2004 resulting from revised purchase price allocations related to then recent acquisitions to reflect the identification of in-place leases and above and below market value lease intangibles.

 

As of March 31, 2005, we have investments or commitments in twenty-two limited liability companies (“LLCs”), nineteen 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.

(a) As discussed above, the operating results of the three variable interest entities were accounted for under the equity method for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 and consolidated in our financial results for periods subsequent to April 1, 2004.

 

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 UHS and pursuant to the terms of the lease, UHS is responsible for maintaining replacement cost property insurance for the facility,

Table of Contents

a substantial portion of which is insured by a commercial carrier. The facility did not experienced significant business interruption. Our Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004, included a property write-down charge of $1.9 million representing the estimated net book value of the damaged assets. This property charge was offset at that time by an equal amount recoverable from UHS. During 2004, UHS incurred approximately $1.9 million in replacement costs in connection with this property and that amount was included as construction in progress on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, UHS incurred an additional $1.5 million in replacement costs and since these additional costs have also been recovered from UHS, $1.5 million has been included in net income during the three month period ended March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, UHS spent a total of approximately $3.4 million to replace the damaged property at this facility and this amount is reflected as buildings and improvements on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of that date. We expect additional replacement costs to be incurred in connection with this property and the additional costs will also be recoverable from UHS. As UHS continues to expend money to repair the building we will continue to recognize income concurrently.

 

Upon the December, 2004 lease expiration on the Virtue Street Pavilion, the former lessee (a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS), exercised its option pursuant to the terms of the lease and purchased the facility at its appraised fair market value of $7,320,000. Prior to the transaction, the annual minimum rent payable to us under the lease was $1,261,000 and no bonus rent was earned on this facility during 2004. As a result of this transaction, 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 $7.3 million of sale proceeds is likely to be approximately $1 million less than the annual rental payments earned by us pursuant to the terms of the lease. During the three month period ended March 31, 2004, we earned $315,000 of revenue, incurred $67,000 of depreciation expense and generated $248,000 of net income in connection with this facility. These operating results were reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 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 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.

Our FFO decreased 6.8% or $530,000 to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $7.8 million in the comparable prior year quarter. This decrease in FFO was due primarily to a charge of $252,000 recorded during the first quarter of 2005 related to an interest-rate swap agreement that became ineffective based upon the forecasted borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and a decrease of approximately $250,000 resulting from the purchase of the Virtue Street Pavilion by UHS in December of 2004, as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

The $343,000 net favorable change during the first three months of 2005, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, was attributable to a $457,000 favorable change in net income plus the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities (depreciation and amortization, gains on sale of property by LLC, property damage recovered from UHS and net loss on ineffective cash flow hedge), as discussed in Results of Operations, partially offset by $114,000 of other net unfavorable changes.

 

Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities

 

Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities was $10.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and ($557,000) during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, we received $5.9 million from a LLC for repayment of an advance, $2.9 million of cash proceeds related to the sale of real property by a LLC, $2.1 million of cash proceeds related to debt refinancing by LLCs, $275,000 of cash distributions in excess of net income from our unconsolidated LLCs and spent $636,000 on capital additions to certain of our real estate investments. During the first quarter of 2004, we received $574,000 of cash distributions in excess of net income from our unconsolidated LLCs and funded a $1.1 million equity investment in a LLC in which we hold a non-controlling ownership interest.

 

Net cash used in financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $13.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, we had net debt repayments of $7.3 million on our revolving line of credit, paid $5.9 million of dividends and generated $149,000 of cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest. During the first quarter of 2004, we paid $5.8 million in dividends and generated $299,000 of cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest.

From time to time, our Board of Trustees has considered raising the amount of our quarterly dividend which has historically been more conservative than the healthcare REIT industry average. Subsequent to March 31, 2005, the Board of Trustees voted to increase our quarterly dividend by 10% or $.05 per share to bring our dividend payout ratio in-line with the healthcare REIT industry average. A dividend of $.555 per share will be payable on May 31, 2005 to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2005. Since our inception, we have increased our annual dividend each year for eighteen consecutive years while maintaining our fundamental goal of providing a secure dividend stream to our shareholders. We recently received an expression of interest from another healthcare REIT in which it indicated that it believed it could provide greater value to our shareholders. The Board of Trustees reviewed the proposal and determined that, for various reasons, it was not in the best interest of the shareholders to pursue the proposal. However, in the course of its analysis of the proposal, the Board of Trustees once again considered the amount of our dividend and determined that based upon anticipated future cash flows, an increase in the quarterly dividend would be appropriate to enhance shareholder value. It is expected that the next quarterly dividend will be declared on or about September 1st with a record date and payment date to be determined later.

 

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, subject to bank approval, 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 March 31, 2005, the applicable margin over the Eurodollar rate was 1.00% and the commitment fee was .25%. At March 31, 2005, we had $12.7 million of outstanding borrowings and $15.5 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 March 31, 2005, we had approximately $51.8 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 March 31, 2005.

 

We have four mortgages, which are non-recourse to us, included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2005 with a combined outstanding balance of $26.1 million. These mortgages carry various interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.3% and have maturity dates ranging from 2006 through 2010. The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The following table summarizes these outstanding mortgages at March 31, 2005 (amounts in thousands):

(a) Excludes $134.7 million of third-party debt that is non-recourse to us, incurred by unconsolidated LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling equity interests as of March 31, 2005 (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
(b) As of March 31, 2005, we have invested approximately $1.8 million in Arlington Medical Properties, LLC. We have committed to invest a total of up to $10.5 million ($8.0 million in equity and $2.5 million in debt financing) in exchange for a 75% non-controlling interest in the LLC that is constructing and will own and operate The St. Mary’s Center for Health, a medical office building located in Reno, Nevada. The property opened during the first quarter of 2005.
(c) As of March 31, 2005, we have committed to invest up to $3.5 million (none of which was funded as of March 31, 2005) in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in Sierra Medical Properties, LLC. This LLC also has a $7.5 million third-party construction loan commitment, which is non-recourse to us.
(d) As of March 31, 2005 we have committed to invest up to $11.0 million ($3.0 million in equity and $8.0 million in debt financing, none of which was funded as of March 31, 2005) in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in the LLC that is constructing and will own and operate the Spring Valley Hospital Medical Office Building II.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2005, we were party to certain off balance sheet arrangements consisting of standby letters of credit and construction commitments. Our outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2005 totaled $15.5 million consisting of: (i) $1.3 million related to 653 Town Center, Phase II; (ii) $9.7 million related to Arlington Medical Properties; (iii) $800,000 related to Spring Valley Medical Properties; (iv) $2.8 million related to Sierra Medical Properties, and; (v) $900,000 related to Gold Shadow Properties. The $9.7 million letter of

credit for Arlington Medical Properties is related to our construction commitment to Arlington Medical Properties, of which $1.8 million has been funded. The $2.8 million letter of credit for Sierra Medical Properties is related to our construction commitment to Sierra Medical Properties, none of which has been funded.
