Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), using the modified retrospective approach and have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, permits us to carry forward our prior conclusions for lease classification, the ability not to reassess whether any existing or expired contracts contain leases, lease classifications for existing or expired leases, and initial direct costs on existing leases. We also made an accounting policy election to keep short-term leases less than twelve months off the balance sheet for all classes of underlying assets. The new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-, finance- or operating-type leases. A lease will be treated as a sales-type lease if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor does not convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results.

 

After evaluating our tenant leases, we have concluded that these are operating-type leases. Additionally, lessors were provided with the option to elect a practical expedient allowing them to not separate lease and nonlease components in a contract for the purpose of revenue recognition and disclosure. This practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which: (i) the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the nonlease component and the related lease component and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. This practical expedient causes an entity to assess whether a contract is predominantly lease or service based and recognize the entire contract under the relevant accounting guidance (i.e., predominantly lease-based would be accounted for under ASU 2016-02 and predominantly service-based would be accounted for under the Revenue ASUs).

 

The FASB also issued ASU 2018-20 “Leases (Topic 842) - Narrow Improvements for Lessors,” which provides lessors the ability to make an accounting policy election not to evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes imposed by a governmental authority on a specific lease revenue producing transaction are the primary obligation of the lessor as owner of the underlying leased asset. A lessor that makes this election will exclude these taxes from the measurement of lease revenue and the associated expense. Upon adoption of ASC 842, we utilized this practical expedient in cases where real estate taxes were paid directly by our tenants to taxing authorities. For triple-net leasing arrangements in which the tenant remits payment for real estate taxes to us and we pay the taxing authority, we have included the associated revenue and expense in total rental revenues and property operating costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This reporting had no impact on our net income.

 

 Page 9 of 40 

 

 

Additionally, under Topic 842, we must assess if all payments due under the lease are likely to be collected. If tenant lease payments are not likely to be collected, then the revenues will be recognized on a cash basis (or if the answer changes at a later date, the revenues are adjusted to reflect what it would have been on a cash basis) and the adjustments will be recorded through rental revenues, rather than bad debt expense. We did not have any collectability issues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

As generally accepted accounting principles for lessors remains mostly unchanged, the adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the total amount of revenues recognized from our leases from our tenants, however, as of January 1, 2019, the presentation of our rental revenues and tenant reimbursements will be combined into one line item on our consolidated statements of operations under lease revenue. All tenant leases prior to January 1, 2019 will be presented under ASC 840.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $181,000 and $274,000, respectively, from its tenants for reimbursement of property taxes and insurance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $595,000 and $843,000, respectively, from its tenants for reimbursement of property taxes and insurance.

 

Lake Forest Lease

 

We have entered into a lease agreement, as amended, for corporate office space located in Lake Forest, California, which expires in April 2022 (the “LF Lease”). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 and recorded a right-of-use asset and liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments within the consolidated balance sheet. As a result, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) of $0.3 million and a lease liability of $0.3 million on its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. Comparative periods are presented in accordance with ASC Topic 840 and do not include any retrospective adjustments to comparative periods to reflect the adoption of Topic 842. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations or the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

The LF Lease has fixed lease payments. We make separate payments to the lessor based on the lessor’s property and casualty insurance costs and the property taxes assessed on the property, as well as a portion of the common area maintenance associated with the property. We have elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and nonlease components for our corporate office lease.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a ROU operating lease asset of $0.2 million recorded in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and a lease liability of $0.3 million recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in accrued liabilities.

 

The Company will recognize lease expense, calculated as the remaining cost of the lease allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease expense will be presented as part of continuing operations within general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $25,000 and $75,000, respectively, in lease expense.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid $25,000 and $75,000, respectively, in rent relating to the LF Lease. As a payment arising from an operating lease, the $75,000 will be classified within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the remaining lease term for LF Lease is 31 months. Because we do not have access to the discount rate implicit in the lease, we have utilized our estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The estimated discount rate associated with our corporate operating lease is 5%.

 

Pursuant to ASC 842, lease payments on the LF Lease for the period from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and for each of the following years ending December 31 are as follows:

 

 Page 10 of 40

Pursuant to ASC 840, lease payments on the LF Lease as of December 31, 2018 were as follows:

 

Year  Lease payments 
2019   100,000 
2020   104,000 
2021   108,000

   $348,000 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”), which amends ASU 2016-13 to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, and instead, impairment of such receivables should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. An entity will apply the amendments in these updates through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements when adopted.

CIBC Bank USA

 

On March 30, 2018, CHP Friendswood SNF, LLC entered into a $10,725,000, three-year term loan and security agreement with CIBC Bank USA, which is collateralized by the Friendship Haven facility. We incurred approximately $0.2 million in debt issuance costs.

 

The monthly payments, commencing in May 2018, consist of interest plus approximately $18,000 of cash loan guarantee payments, (increasing to $19,000 for year 2 and $20,000 for year 3), which will be held in a cash loan guarantee fund until maturity date. If the loan is refinanced prior to the maturity date, the loan payments in the cash loan guarantee fund will be released to us; otherwise at the maturity date, the loan payments in the cash loan guarantee fund will be released to the lender and applied to the outstanding principal balance. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total amount in the cash loan guarantee fund was approximately $318,000 and $147,000, respectively, and is included in restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

 Page 14 of 40 

 

 

The loan may be prepaid with no penalty if the property is refinanced through a United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”)-insured loan; otherwise we will be required to pay a prepayment premium of 2% of the loan balance prior to the first anniversary and 1% thereafter through maturity.

 

See table above listing loans payable for further information.

 

Capital One Multifamily Finance, LLC

 

In September 2018, we refinanced our Capital One loan and entered into a HUD-insured loan with Capital One Multifamily Finance, LLC (“HUD Pennington Loan”) which is collateralized by the Pennington Gardens facility. The note contains a prepayment penalty of 10% in year 1, which reduces each year by 100 basis points, until there is no longer a prepayment penalty beginning in year 11.

7. Related Party Transactions

 

CRA

 

Prior to the termination of our advisory agreement on April 1, 2014 with CRA (our former advisor, a related party), we incurred costs related to fees paid and costs reimbursed for services rendered to us by CRA through September 30, 2014. Some of the fees we had paid to CRA were considered to be in excess of allowed amounts and, therefore, CRA was required to reimburse us for the amount of the excess costs we paid to them. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the receivables from CRA are fully reserved due to the uncertainty of collectability and are included in tenant and other receivables in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 10).

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had the following receivables and reserves related to CRA:

 

   Receivables   Reserves   Balance 
Organizational and offering costs  $738,000   $(738,000)  $- 
Asset management fees and expenses   32,000    (32,000)   - 
Operating expenses (direct and indirect)   189,000    (189,000)   - 
Operating expenses (2%/25% Test)   1,717,000    (1,717,000)   - 
Total  $2,676,000   $(2,676,000)  $- 

 

Equity-Method Investments

 

See Note 5 for further discussion of distributions and acquisition and asset management fees related to our Equity-Method Investments.  

 

8. Concentration of Risk

 

Our cash is generally invested in short-term money market instruments. As of September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalent accounts in excess of FDIC-insured limits. However, we do not believe the risk associated with this excess is significant. 

 

As of September 30, 2019, we owned one property in California, three properties in Oregon, one property in Texas, one property in Illinois, and one property in Arizona (excluding the 50 properties held by our Equity-Method Investments). Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to economic conditions in certain states.

 

Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, we leased our seven real estate properties to five different tenants under long-term triple net leases, three of which comprise 35%, 19% and 15% of our tenant rental revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we leased our 11 real estate properties to five different tenants under long-term triple net leases, three of which comprised 41%, 24% and 14% of our tenant rental revenue.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we leased our seven real estate properties to five different tenants under long-term triple net leases, three of which comprise 31%, 18% and 13% of our real estate tenant rental revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we leased our 11 healthcare properties to five different tenants under long-term triple net leases, three of which comprised 41%, 23% and 13% of our healthcare tenant rental revenue, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we have one tenant that constitutes a significant asset concentration, as the net assets of the tenant are approximately 20% of our total assets. As of December 31, 2018, we had one tenant that constituted a significant asset concentration, however, four of the properties that made up that concentration were sold in February 2019 (see Note 13) and as such, this tenant no longer constitutes a significant asset concentration.

 

9. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

 

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, notes receivable, tenant and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, security deposits and loans payable. With the exception of the Friendswood TRS note receivable (see Note 6) and loans payable discussed below, we consider the carrying values to approximate fair value for such financial instruments because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected payment.

 

 Page 19 of 40 

 

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of loans payable was $47.6 million and $66.5 million, compared to the principal balance (excluding debt discount) of $47.2 million and $66.1 million, respectively. The fair value of loans payable was estimated using lending rates available to us for financial instruments with similar terms and maturities. To estimate fair value as of September 30, 2019, we utilized discount rates ranging from 4.2% to 6.0% and a weighted average discount rate of 4.6%. As the inputs to our valuation estimate are neither observable in nor supported by market activity, our loans payable are classified as Level 3 assets within the fair value hierarchy.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Friendswood TRS note receivable (see Note 6) was $0.6 million compared to the carrying value of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The fair value of the note receivable was estimated based on cash flow analysis at a weighted-average discount rate of 4.6%. As the inputs to our valuation estimate are neither observable in nor supported by market activity, our notes receivable are classified as Level 3 assets within the fair value hierarchy.

 

As a result of our ongoing analysis for potential impairment of our investments in real estate, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of certain assets to their estimated fair values, or estimated fair value less selling costs, under certain circumstances. No impairments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. 

 

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we do not have any financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

We conduct a Phase I assessment for each of our properties at acquisition to evaluate whether hazardous or toxic substances are present on the properties. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

 

Our commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and licensed operators in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are also subject to contingent losses resulting from litigation against the Company.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On April 1, 2014, CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange-Central Justice Center, Case No. 30-2014-00714004-CU-BT-CJC, naming the Company, its former directors, one of its officers and one of its former officers as defendants, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages. On September 17, 2014, we filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint seeking compensatory damages and an accounting pursuant to Sections 10(c)(i) and 17(c)(ii) of the Advisory Agreement and including any monies Plaintiffs and Terry Roussel directly or indirectly received from or paid to the Company. On February 22, 2018, the action was assigned to a different trial judge. On May 29, 2018, the Company filed a motion for terminating and monetary sanctions against CRA, Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. and their counsel, Winget Spadafora & Schwartzberg. On November 30, 2018, the new trial judge vacated the trial date, pending resolution of the Company’s motion for terminating and monetary sanctions against CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. and denied the Company’s motion for sanctions against Winget Spadafora & Schwartzberg. On February 13, 2019, the trial judge held another hearing on the Company’s motion for terminating and monetary sanctions and indicated that it intended to grant the Company’s motion for terminating sanctions and award the Company monetary sanctions. On March 14, 2019, the Court entered an Order and Judgment granting the Company’s motion for terminating sanctions, awarding the Company monetary sanctions in the amount of $588,672, and dismissing CRA and Cornerstone Ventures Inc.’s Complaint with prejudice. On May 21, 2019, CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. filed a notice of appeal from the Judgment and, on June 3, 2019, the Company filed a notice of cross-appeal from the Judgment. On July 9, 2019, the California Court of Appeal, Fourth District dismissed CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc.’s appeal with prejudice. The Company’s appeals against CRA, Cornerstone Ventures, Inc and Winget Spadafora & Schwartzberg are currently pending before the Court of Appeal, Fourth District.

In September 2015, a bankruptcy petition was filed against Healthcare Real Estate Partners, LLC (“HCRE”) by the investors in Healthcare Real Estate Fund, LLC and Healthcare Real Estate Qualified Purchasers Fund, LLC (collectively, the “Funds”). HCRE did not timely respond to the involuntary petition and the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order of Relief making HCRE a debtor in bankruptcy. As a result, HCRE was removed as manager under the Funds’ operating agreement. Thereafter the Company became the manager of the Funds and purchased the investors’ interests in the Funds for approximately $0.9 million. Following the subsequent dismissal of the involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against it, HCRE filed a motion for attorneys’ fees and damages and a separate complaint for violation of the automatic stay against the petitioning creditors and the Company in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware. The Bankruptcy Court granted a motion to dismiss the complaint for violation of the automatic stay filed jointly by the petitioning creditors and us, and dismissed the complaint with prejudice. HCRE appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware which affirmed the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal of the complaint in a decision dated September 9, 2018. On October 11, 2018, HCRE appealed the District Court’s decision affirming the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal of the complaint to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. On October 22, 2019, the Third Circuit granted HCRE’s appeal, reversing the District Court and holding that HCRE could assert the adversary complaint seeking damages for violation of the automatic stay.  The Company filed a Petition for Rehearing on November 5, 2019 asserting that HCRE is not entitled to assert a claim for damages for violation of the automatic stay.  This Petition remains pending.  The Bankruptcy Court has stayed all litigation on HCRE’s motion for damages pending resolution of the appeal on the complaint for violation of the automatic stay by the Court of Appeals. We believe that all of HCRE’s remaining alleged claims are without merit and will vigorously defend ourselves.

 

Delbert Freeman and his company, Freescan Ventures, Inc. (collectively, “Freeman”), filed an action against us and Mr. Eikanas, our President, on December 21, 2017 for breach of contract arising out of the sale of the Athens project in Georgia. We originally guaranteed a lease for the development of the Athens project, which was ultimately sold to a third party in June of 2016, thereby releasing us from our obligation. Freeman sued for breach of contract based on an allegation that he was not paid profits he was promised from the proceeds of the project. Freeman is also alleging that he was promised consulting fees of $270,000 from us arising out of an alleged oral agreement to pay consulting fees of $10,000 per month. On May 8, 2019, Freeman agreed to voluntarily dismiss all claims in their complaint, with prejudice.  In return, the Company agreed to dismiss its claims with prejudice as well. Accordingly, the Court has dismissed this action in its entirety, with prejudice.  

 

Indemnification and Employment Agreements

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and directors which indemnify them against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any proceeding. Additionally, effective October 1, 2018, we amended our employment agreements with our executive officers to extend the term of each agreement for an additional three years. These employment agreements include customary terms relating to salary, bonus, position, duties and benefits (including eligibility for equity compensation), as well as a cash payment following a change in control of the Company, as defined in such agreements.

 

Management of our Equity-Method Investments

 

As the manager of our Equity-Method Investments, we are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and are, thus, subject to contingencies that may arise in the normal course of their operations. Additionally, we could be subject to a capital call from our Equity-Method Investments.

11. Equity

 

Share-Based Compensation Plan

 

Upon the grant of stock options, we determine the exercise price by using our estimated per-share value, which is calculated by aggregating the estimated fair value of our investments in real estate and the estimated fair value of our other assets, subtracting the book value of our liabilities, utilizing a discount for the fact that the shares are not currently traded on a national securities exchange and a lack of a control premium, and divided the total by the number of our common shares outstanding at the time the options were granted.

 

The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions required by the model include the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the options, the expected stock price volatility over the expected life of the options, and the expected distribution yield. Compensation expense for employee stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting term. The expected life of the options was based on the simplified method as we do not have sufficient historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant using the expected life of the options at the date of grant. Volatility was based on historical volatility of the stock prices for a sample of publicly traded companies with risk profiles similar to ours. The valuation model applied in this calculation utilizes highly subjective assumptions that could potentially change over time, including the expected stock price volatility and the expected life of an option.

 

On January 1, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 45,000 stock options under our Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”) to our non-executive employees. The stock options vest monthly beginning on February 1, 2019 and continuing over a three-year period through January 1, 2022. The options expire 10 years from the grant date. The weighted-average fair value per share of the stock options granted was $0.61.

 

On March 20, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 450,000 stock options under our Incentive Plan, 225,000 to each of our executives. The stock options were granted under the Incentive Plan, with 33% vesting on the grant date and the remaining 67% vesting in equal monthly installments beginning April 1, 2019 and continuing over a two-year period through March 1, 2021. The options expire 10 years from the grant date. The weighted-average fair value per share of the stock options granted was $0.57.

 

On March 20, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 110,000 stock options under our Incentive Plan to our directors. The stock options vest monthly beginning on April 1, 2019 and continuing over a three-year period through March 1, 2022. The options expire 10 years from the grant date. The weighted-average fair value per share of the stock options granted was $0.60.

 

The estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   2019 
Stock options granted   605,000 
Expected volatility   21.75%
Expected term   5.5 years 
Risk-free interest rate   2.38%
Dividend yield   0%
Fair value per share  $0.58

For our outstanding non-vested options as of September 30, 2019, the weighted average grant date fair value per share was $0.52. As of September 30, 2019, we have unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, net of forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized as follows:

 

Years Ending December 31,    
October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019  $43,000 
2020   144,000 
2021   58,000 
2022   6,000 
   $251,000 

 

The stock-based compensation expense reported for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $43,000 and $23,000, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The stock-based compensation expense reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $192,000 and $78,000, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

13. Dispositions

 

Sale of Four North Carolina Properties

 

On February 14, 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiaries HP Shelby, LLC, HP Hamlet, LLC, HP Carteret, LLC, and our 95%-owned subsidiary, HP Winston-Salem, LLC, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Agemark Acquisition, LLC (the “Purchaser”), sold to the Purchaser (the “Sale”) the following four properties located in North Carolina (“NC Properties”): The Shelby House, a 72-bed assisted living facility located in Shelby, North Carolina; The Hamlet House, a 60-bed assisted living facility located in Hamlet, North Carolina, The Carteret House, a 64-bed assisted living facility located in Newport, North Carolina and Danby House, a 100-bed assisted living and memory care facility located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

 

The total consideration received by the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to the Agreement was $27.0 million in cash. The Company incurred approximately $1.2 million is transaction costs, mainly for the prepayment penalty related to the HUD-insured loans (the “HUD Loans”). On the date of the Sale, the total assets of the NC Properties were approximately $22.1 million, and liabilities were approximately $19.5 million, including approximately $19.4 million of outstanding principal to the HUD Loans. The HUD Loans were paid off in full using the proceeds of the Sale. As a result of the Sale, as of February 15, 2019, the NC Properties will no longer be included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We recorded a gain of approximately $4.2 million on the sale of the NC Properties.

 

TRS Disposition

 

Friendswood TRS (“Friendswood TRS”) was our wholly-owned TRS, and is the licensed operator and tenant of Friendship Haven Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center (“Friendship Haven”). Effective as of January 1, 2018, we assigned our interest in Friendswood TRS to HMG Park Manor of Friendswood, LLC (“HMG”), the management company of Friendship Haven. Therefore, as of January 1, 2018, Friendswood TRS is no longer consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2018, we recorded a gain of $109,000 on the disposition of Friendswood TRS, which is recorded in discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

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

 

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. This section contains forward-looking statements, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2019.

 

Overview

 

As of September 30, 2019, our ownership interests in our seven real estate properties of senior housing facilities was as follows: 100% ownership of three properties and a 95.3% interest in four properties in a consolidated joint venture, Cornerstone Healthcare Partners LLC. Additionally, we have a 10% interest in an unconsolidated equity-method investment that owns 17 properties, a 35% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity-method investment that holds two properties, a 20% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity-method investment that holds two properties, a 10% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity-method investment that holds nine properties, a 10% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity-method investment that holds six properties and a 15% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity-method investment that holds 14 properties (collectively, our “Equity-Method Investments”). As used in this report, the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.

Our revenues are comprised largely of tenant rental income from our seven real estate properties, including rents reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of each tenant lease, and acquisition and asset management fees resulting from our Equity-Method Investments. We also receive cash distributions from our Equity-Method Investments, which are included in net cash provided by operating activities and net cash provided by investing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to continue to raise joint venture or other equity, acquire new healthcare properties at attractive prices, negotiate long-term tenant leases with sustainable rental rate escalation terms and control our expenses. Our operations are impacted by property-specific, market-specific, general economic, regulatory and other conditions.

 

We believe that continued investing in senior housing facilities is accretive to earnings and stockholder value. Senior housing facilities include independent living facilities (“IL”), skilled nursing facilities (“SNF”), assisted living facilities (“AL”), memory care facilities (“MC”) and continuing care retirement communities (“CCRC”). Each of these types of facilities focuses on different segments of the senior population.

At September 30, 2019, our portfolio consisted of seven real estate properties as noted above. All of the properties are 100% leased on a triple net basis.

Summit Equity-Method Investment Portfolio Properties

 

We continue to believe that raising institutional equity to make acquisitions will be accretive to shareholder value. Our sole source of equity since 2015 has been institutional funds raised through a joint venture structure and accounted for as equity-method investments. We still believe this is a prudent strategy for growth; however, in the future, we may raise additional equity capital through alternative methods if warranted by market conditions.

Summit Union Life Holdings, LLC

(a Chinese corporation), and entered into a limited liability company with Best Years with respect to the SUL JV (the “SUL LLC Agreement”).

All capital proceeds from the sale of the properties held by the SUL JV, a refinancing, or another capital event will be paid first to the Operating Partnership and Best Years pari passu until each has received an amount equal to its accrued but unpaid 9% to 10% return plus its total contribution, and thereafter to Best Years 75% and the Operating Partnership 25%.

Equity-Method Partner - Fantasia Investment III LLC

 

In 2016 and 2017, through our Operating Partnership, we entered into three separate limited liability company agreements (collectively, the “Fantasia Agreements”) with Fantasia Investment III LLC (“Fantasia”), an unrelated entity and a U.S.-based affiliate of Fantasia Holdings Group Co., Limited (a Chinese corporation listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (HKEX)), and formed three separate companies, Summit Fantasia Holdings, LLC (“Fantasia I”), Summit Fantasia Holdings II, LLC (“Fantasia II”) and Summit Fantasia Holdings III, LLC (“Fantasia III”) (collectively, the “Fantasia JVs”).

On February 28, 2019 we formed a new joint venture, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Indiana JV”), and on March 13, 2019, we entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Indiana JV Agreement”) through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Summit Indiana, LLC, with two unrelated parties: a real estate holding company and a global institutional asset management firm, both Delaware limited liability companies.  The Indiana JV is not consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements and is accounted for under the equity-method.

 

On March 13, 2019, through the Indiana JV, we acquired a 15% interest in 14 skilled nursing facilities, located in Indiana.  Indiana JV paid a total aggregate purchase price of approximately $128.7 million for the properties, which was funded through capital contributions from the members of the Indiana JV plus the proceeds from a collateralized loan. The facilities consist of a total of 1,133 licensed beds, and are operated by and leased to an affiliate of the real estate holding company.

 

Under the Indiana JV Agreement, net operating cash flow of the Indiana JV will be distributed monthly to the members pari passu in accordance with their respective capital percentages, and thereafter as defined in the Indiana JV Agreement.

 

The following reconciles our equity investment in the Indiana JV from inception through September 30, 2019:

 

Indiana properties – March 2019  $4,908,000 
Total investment   4,908,000

  (1) Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP supplemental measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate properties. We define NOI as total rental revenues less property operating costs. NOI excludes acquisition and asset management fees, interest income from notes receivable, general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, income from equity-method investees, other income, interest expense, gain on note receivable and gain on disposition of real estate properties. We believe NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of the REIT’s real estate at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess and compare property-level performance. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since it does not reflect the aforementioned excluded items. Additionally, NOI as we define it may not be comparable to NOI as defined by other REITs or companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

Total rental revenues for our properties includes rental revenues and tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance. Property operating costs include insurance, property taxes and other operating expenses. Net operating income decreased $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the sale of our four NC Properties (see Note 13 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

The net decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million is primarily due to a decrease in legal and other professional expenses of approximately $0.2 million.

 

The net decrease in depreciation and amortization and interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to the sale of our four NC Properties (see Note 13 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Total rental revenues for our properties includes rental revenues and tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance. Property operating costs include insurance, property taxes and other operating expenses. Net operating income decreased $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the sale of our four NC Properties (see Note 13 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

 Page 34 of 40 

 

  

The net increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.5 million is primarily due to an increase in executive bonuses of approximately $0.8 million and stock-based compensation of $0.1 million offset by a decrease in legal and other professional expenses of approximately $0.4 million.

 

The net decrease in depreciation and amortization and interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to the sale of our four NC Properties (see Note 13 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

The net decrease in income from equity-method investees of approximately $0.2 million is primarily due to the refinancing of the FPH JV properties and the related write off of fees and deferred financing costs from the previous lender, and the termination of two leases in our JV properties and the write off of certain costs associated with those terminations.

 

The gain on disposition of real estate properties is due to the sale of our four NC Properties (see Note 13 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), and as of February 15, 2019, they are no longer consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $12.7 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient capital resources to sustain operations.

 

Going forward, we expect our primary sources of cash to be rental revenues, joint venture distributions, and acquisition and asset management fees. In addition, we may increase cash through the sale of additional properties, which may result in the deconsolidation of properties we already own, or borrowing against currently-owned properties. For the foreseeable future, we expect our primary uses of cash to be for funding future acquisitions, investments in joint ventures, operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness and the repayment of principal on loans payable. We may also incur expenditures for renovations of our existing properties, making our facilities more appealing in their market.

 

We continue to pursue options for repaying and/or refinancing debt obligations with long-term, fixed rate U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”)-insured loans. In April 2019, we refinanced the Healthcare Financial Solutions, LLC note (see Note 4 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) that was scheduled to mature in July 2019 with a 35 year, HUD-insured loan through ORIX Real Estate Capital, LLC (“ORIX”) (formerly Lancaster Pollard) that matures in 2054. In September 2018, we refinanced the Capital One loan that was scheduled to mature in January 2019 with a 35 year, HUD-insured loan through Capital One Multifamily Finance, LLC that matures in 2053. Additionally, in 2019 and 2017, as part of our responsibilities under the operating agreements as the manager of our Equity-Method Investments, we refinanced 11 existing loans of our Equity-Method Investments with ORIX (HUD-insured) loans.

 

Our liquidity will increase if cash from operations exceeds expenses, we receive net proceeds from the sale of whole or partial interest in a property or properties, or refinancing results in excess loan proceeds. Our liquidity will decrease as proceeds are expended in connection with our acquisitions and operation of properties.

 

Credit Facilities and Loan Agreements

 

As of September 30, 2019, we had debt obligations of approximately $47.2 million. The outstanding balance by loan agreement is as follows (see Note 4 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our financing arrangements):

 

·CIBC Bank USA – approximately $10.7 million maturing March 2021
·Capital One Multifamily Finance, LLC (HUD-insured) – approximately $10.5 million maturing September 2053
·ORIX (HUD-insured) – approximately $26.0 million maturing from September 2039 through April 2054

 

Distributions

 

The Company declared a cash distribution of approximately $1.5 million in November 2018, which was paid on January 31, 2019 to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2019.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”)

 

FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition outlined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

Our FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, impairments and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared period to period, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delays in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts pending investment, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our performance, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

 

The following is the reconciliation from net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders, the most direct comparable financial measure calculated and presented with GAAP, to FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018: 

 

   Three months ended   Nine months ended

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable. Because the Company is a smaller reporting company, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), it is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

 Page 36 of 40 

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our President (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On April 1, 2014, CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange-Central Justice Center, Case No. 30-2014-00714004-CU-BT-CJC, naming the Company, its former directors, one of its officers and one of its former officers as defendants, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages. On September 17, 2014, we filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint seeking compensatory damages and an accounting pursuant to Sections 10(c)(i) and 17(c)(ii) of the Advisory Agreement and including any monies Plaintiffs and Terry Roussel directly or indirectly received from or paid to the Company. On February 22, 2018, the action was assigned to a different trial judge. On May 29, 2018, the Company filed a motion for terminating and monetary sanctions against CRA, Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. and their counsel, Winget Spadafora & Schwartzberg. On November 30, 2018, the new trial judge vacated the trial date, pending resolution of the Company’s motion for terminating and monetary sanctions against CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. and denied the Company’s motion for sanctions against Winget Spadafora & Schwartzberg. On February 13, 2019, the trial judge held another hearing on the Company’s motion for terminating and monetary sanctions and indicated that it intended to grant the Company’s motion for terminating sanctions and award the Company monetary sanctions. On March 14, 2019, the Court entered an Order and Judgment granting the Company’s motion for terminating sanctions, awarding the Company monetary sanctions in the amount of $588,672, and dismissing CRA and Cornerstone Ventures Inc.’s Complaint with prejudice. On May 21, 2019, CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. filed a notice of appeal from the Judgment and, on June 3, 2019, the Company filed a notice of cross-appeal from the Judgment. On July 9, 2019, the California Court of Appeal, Fourth District dismissed CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc.’s appeal with prejudice. The Company’s appeals against CRA, Cornerstone Ventures, Inc and Winget Spadafora & Schwartzberg are currently pending before the Court of Appeal, Fourth District. 

  

In September 2015, a bankruptcy petition was filed against Healthcare Real Estate Partners, LLC (“HCRE”) by the investors in Healthcare Real Estate Fund, LLC and Healthcare Real Estate Qualified Purchasers Fund, LLC (collectively, the “Funds”). HCRE did not timely respond to the involuntary petition and the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order of Relief making HCRE a debtor in bankruptcy. As a result, HCRE was removed as manager under the Funds’ operating agreement. Thereafter the Company became the manager of the Funds and purchased the investors’ interests in the Funds for approximately $0.9 million. Following the subsequent dismissal of the involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against it, HCRE filed a motion for attorneys’ fees and damages and a separate complaint for violation of the automatic stay against the petitioning creditors and the Company in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware. The Bankruptcy Court granted a motion to dismiss the complaint for violation of the automatic stay filed jointly by the petitioning creditors and us, and dismissed the complaint with prejudice. HCRE appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware which affirmed the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal of the complaint in a decision dated September 9, 2018. On October 11, 2018, HCRE appealed the District Court’s decision affirming the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal of the complaint to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. On October 22, 2019, the Third Circuit granted HCRE’s appeal, reversing the District Court and holding that HCRE could assert the adversary complaint seeking damages for violation of the automatic stay.  The Company filed a Petition for Rehearing on November 5, 2019 asserting that HCRE is not entitled to assert a claim for damages for violation of the automatic stay.  This Petition remains pending.  The Bankruptcy Court has stayed all litigation on HCRE’s motion for damages pending resolution of the appeal on the complaint for violation of the automatic stay by the Court of Appeals. We believe that all of HCRE’s remaining alleged claims are without merit and will vigorously defend ourselves.

Delbert Freeman and his company, Freescan Ventures, Inc. (collectively, “Freeman”), filed an action against us and Mr. Eikanas, our President, on December 21, 2017 for breach of contract arising out of the sale of the Athens project in Georgia. We originally guaranteed a lease for the development of the Athens project, which was ultimately sold to a third party in June of 2016, thereby releasing us from our obligation. Freeman sued for breach of contract based on an allegation that he was not paid profits he was promised from the proceeds of the project. Freeman is also alleging that he was promised consulting fees of $270,000 from us arising out of an alleged oral agreement to pay consulting fees of $10,000 per month. On May 8, 2019, Freeman agreed to voluntarily dismiss all claims in their complaint, with prejudice.  In return, the Company agreed to dismiss its claims with prejudice as well. Accordingly, the Court has dismissed this action in its entirety, with prejudice.
