PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

G&L Realty Corp. (referred to from time to time in this Annual Report as “we” or “us” or the “Company”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns, acquires, develops, manages and leases health care properties. The Company’s business currently consists of investments, made either directly or through joint ventures, in medical office buildings (“MOB”) in Southern California. All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, G&L Realty Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), in which the Company has a 95% interest, or its various special purpose subsidiaries. Notwithstanding this 5% minority interest, we use the term “our Company” to describe collectively, and without differentiation, G&L Realty Corp and the Operating Partnership. Our financial disclosures, however, are adjusted to reflect this 5% minority interest.

The Company’s business and operations are managed through G&L Realty Corp LLC, a limited liability company wholly owned by our controlling shareholders, Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz and certain members of their respective families. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on September 15, 1993, and all of the common stock is owned by its principal executive officers, Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz and sometimes referred to in this Annual Report as our “Founding Stockholders”).

Our executive offices are located at 439 North Bedford Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210, and our telephone number is (310) 273-9930. Our website is www.glrealty.com.

Recent Developments

Over the past two years, we have endeavored to re-focus our activities on the development, ownership and operation of MOBs in Southern California and to generally clean up our balance sheet by removing assets not related to that core focus. Consequently, since the beginning of 2004, we have either sold to third parties or spun-off to our Founding Stockholders (i) our retail properties (other than those retail areas located within or specifically ancillary to our MOBs), (ii) our skilled nursing facility and assisted care living facility assets, (iii) certain minority interests in entities owning or managing residential real estate, (iv) certain non-management minority interests in MOB development projects located outside of our core southern California base, and (v) certain related party promissory notes. In order to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest and to provide more flexibility to our management company, we have also spun-off our management company operations to our Founding Stockholders, and are now managed under a long term management agreement with that company. In order to protect the interests of our preferred stockholders, that management agreement specifically subordinates all management fees to the payment of dividends on our preferred stock and to the liquidation preference of the holders of our preferred stock. Since the spin-off of our skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets, we have operated in only one business segment – the ownership, acquisition, development and management of medical office buildings.

On November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to our Founding Stockholders in order to focus our activities on the medical office building segment of our business. Assets with a net asset value (based on independent fair market valuations of these skilled nursing and assisted living facilities) of approximately $5.03 million were distributed in this spin-off. These assets are now held by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a company controlled by our Founding Stockholders.

On June 30, 2005, the Company distributed its membership interests in G&L Realty Corp., LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to its common stockholders. G&L Realty Corp., LLC provides management services to both the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. As part of the distribution of G&L Realty Corp., LLC to the Company’s stockholders, the Company entered into a management agreement with G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

Table of Contents

Through the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the management agreement provided that G&L Realty Corp., LLC would provide ongoing management services to us in exchange for reimbursement of the out-of-pocket costs associated with providing such services. These costs were calculated by multiplying the total operating costs of G&L Realty Corp., LLC by a percentage determined to represent the percentage of G&L Realty Corp., LLC’s time committed to the management of our company. We calculated this percentage at 35%. Effective January 1, 2006, our Company began paying fees to G&L Realty Corp., LLC based on a schedule of fixed fees as provided for in the management agreement.

In addition, the Company, commencing January 1, 2006, began reimbursing G&L Realty Corp., LLC for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the cost of any on-site managers or on-site personnel provided at the request of our Company, but not any home office or general and administrative personnel. G&L Realty Corp., LLC also provides leasing services, but receives no additional compensation with respect to the provision of such services. Historically, the Company has made only limited use of outside brokers to obtain tenants. As a result of the management agreement with G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Company has no employees and has effectively out-sourced all of its day-to-day operating functions.

Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, the Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company, are the majority owners of G&L Realty Corp., LLC and have full control over the decision-making of that company. Thus, our Founding Stockholders continue to have significant involvement in the management and operations of the Company through G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

At the time of the distribution, G&L Realty Corp., LLC’s assets included (i) two promissory notes from Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz totaling $5.1 million, (ii) a $1 million investment in a company specializing in the management and ownership of low cost housing, and (iii) a $2.7 million limited partnership investment in a limited partnership, formed to acquire and develop a vacant parcel of land in Northern California. An independent appraisal conducted at the time of the distribution valued G&L Realty Corp., LLC at $4.3 million, compared to a carrying value of $8.4 million. The excess of the carrying value of the net assets over the fair value in the amount of $4.1 million was recognized as an impairment loss on the Company’s financial statements. Incident to the distribution, the Company also agreed to lend certain funds to the Northern California limited partnership on a secured basis pending the procurement of construction financing by that limited partnership. These loans were repaid in full February 2006, and the Company has no further relationship with or commitments to that limited partnership.

On February 14, 2006 we entered into an agreement to sell our interest in the San Pedro Medical Plaza located in San Pedro, California for $13 million. The San Pedro Medical Plaza is owned by a limited liability company in which we have an 50% equity interest, and is carried on our books on a unconsolidated basis. Upon completion of that sale, we will report a gain of approximately $2.5 million.

On October 14, 2005, we refinanced two properties located in Tustin, California with a new $13.5 million loan. We received proceeds of $5.3 million from the refinancing after repayment of the existing $6.9 million mortgage loan, prepayment penalties and closing costs. The new loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.29% and is due on October 8, 2015.

On March 23, 2005, we refinanced a property located in Mission Hills, California with a new $17.8 million mortgage loan. We received proceeds of $9.7 million from the refinancing after repayment of the existing $7.1 million mortgage loan, prepayment penalties and closing costs. The new loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.71% and is due on April 1, 2015.

The Company is currently exploring its options with respect to the possible redemption of its outstanding preferred stock so as to be able to operate as a private company. Like many other public companies of our size, we have found the costs of complying with the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley to be burdensome. The Company’s Series A and Series B preferred stock both are currently redeemable at a price of $25 per share upon thirty days notice to the preferred stockholders. No assurances can be given at this time as to whether we will ultimately elect to redeem our outstanding preferred stock and go private, or to continue as a public company, or to participate in some other transaction.

Description of Business

The Company’s MOB business strategy is to acquire, own, develop, manage and lease a portfolio of medical office buildings, principally in Southern California. The MOB portfolio currently consists of approximately 742,000 rentable square feet. The Company directly owns 17 high quality MOBs and an adjacent parking facility. In addition, the Company owns four additional MOBs through joint ventures (collectively, the “MOB Properties”). All of the MOB Properties are located in Southern California. Several of the MOB Properties include retail space on the ground level.

Table of Contents

As of January 31, 2006, the MOB Properties were 98.8% leased, typically pursuant to three to ten year leases. As of that date, we had leases with over 400 tenants. No tenant leases more than 2% of our MOB space. Our tenants are principally doctors and other medical professionals, practice groups and, in some cases, hospitals. Our MOB Properties have experienced lease renewal rates of approximately 90.6%, 88.4% and 79.7% for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Typically, where our tenant’s have elected not to renew, it is because of our inability to satisfy their increased space needs or because they have retired from practice.

We compete principally with other lessors of medical office building space, typically in buildings designed or converted for such purposes. We typically do not compete with lessors of commercial office space, as medical office buildings typically require a higher degree of services, greater elevator capacity, and more parking than non-medical commercial office buildings. Many of our buildings are located on or near hospital campuses, in which case we may also compete with medical office space offered on such campuses directly by the hospitals themselves.

We currently have only one development project – the anticipated construction of two medical office buildings on the Henry Mayo Memorial Hospital Campus in Santa Clarita, California. However, this project is still in the land use planning stages, and the ultimate size and timing of this project is, accordingly, uncertain.

The health care industry is facing various challenges, including increased government and private payor pressure to reduce medical delivery costs. Substantially all of the Company’s tenants are in the medical profession and could be or have been adversely affected by the new Medicare prospective payment system, cost containment and other health care reform proposals. Any future proposals that limit access to medical care or reduce reimbursement for physicians’ services may also impact the ability of the Company’s tenants to pay rent. However, the Company believes that the aging population in the United States, combined with other recent trends in the health care industry, such as the performance of non-acute procedures outside of hospitals, could spur increased demand for space in full service MOBs that contain surgery centers and out-patient facilities, such as those owned by the Company.

An investment in our company involves material risks, as discussed in greater detail under the caption RISK FACTORS, later in this Annual Report.

Employees

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had no employees having last year out-sourced all of its management functions to G&L Realty Corp., LLC. At that date, G&L Realty Corp., LLC employed 29 persons, 11 of whom are on-site building employees who provide maintenance services for the MOB Properties and 6 of whom are professional employees engaged in leasing, asset management and administration.

Government Regulation

Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in its property. These laws impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of any hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to borrow using the real estate as collateral and may subject the owner to material remediation costs. All of the MOB Properties have been subject to Phase I environmental assessments (which involve inspection of the subject property, but no soil sampling or groundwater analysis) by independent environmental consultants. Although restricted in scope, these independent assessments revealed no material evidence of existing environmental liability, and the Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any noncompliance by, liability for, or other claim against the Company in connection with environmental matters related to the MOB Properties. While the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, assets or results of operations, no assurance can be given that the environmental assessments revealed all potential environmental liabilities or that a prior owner did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company or that future uses or conditions (including changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations) will not result in imposition of environmental liability.

Table of Contents

The independent environmental assessments include selective sampling for asbestos where the age of the buildings or the types of materials warranted such sampling. Limited quantities of non-friable asbestos are present in some of the Company’s properties. Management believes that it has undertaken adequate measures to ensure that the asbestos will remain undisturbed and that it does not pose a current health risk. Management plans to continue to monitor this situation.

Physicians generate medical waste in the normal course of their practice. The Company’s leases require the individual tenants to make arrangements for the disposal of medical waste and require all tenants to provide proof that they have contracted with a third party service to remove waste from the premises each night. The handling and disposal of this waste is the responsibility of the tenants; however, the Company remains responsible as the owner of the property. There can be no assurance that all such medical waste will be properly handled and disposed of or that the Company will not incur costs in connection with improper disposal of medical waste by its tenants.

Healthcare Industry Regulation. Physicians are subject to heavy government regulation including the determination of the level of reimbursements for medical costs incurred and services provided under government programs. Changes in government regulations regarding medical reimbursements and other regulations affecting the healthcare industry can have a dramatic impact on the operations of medical practitioners under government programs. Both the federal government and many state governments are exploring numerous reforms concerning the healthcare industry that could have a significant impact on many healthcare-related businesses. If legislation were enacted that decreased the level of government medical reimbursements or increased the degree of regulatory oversight, thereby increasing the expenses of healthcare businesses, the Company’s tenant base could be adversely affected. This, in turn, could negatively impact the ability of the Company to make distributions.

Americans with Disabilities Act. All of the MOB Properties are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The ADA generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers and noncompliance could result in imposition of fines by the federal government or an award of damages to private litigants. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with the ADA and that it will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. If required changes involve a greater expenditure than the Company currently anticipates, the Company’s ability to make distributions could be adversely affected.

Tax Status

The Company believes that it has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and the Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As long as the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT under the Code, the Company generally will not be taxed at the corporate level. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

Segment Information

Segment information is set forth in footnote 13 to our Financial Statements set forth below in this Annual Report. After the spin-off of the skilled nursing and assisted living facility assets, the Company has one reportable segment-medical office buildings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our earnings are derived from a relatively small and concentrated number of properties.

Our earnings are derived from a relatively small number of properties. Our Properties consist of only the MOB Properties representing only approximately 742,000 rentable square feet. All of these properties are located in Southern California. Moreover, the MOBs in the “Golden Triangle” area of Beverly Hills, California produce approximately 35% of our net operating income. Our operating results may be significantly impacted by the performance of one or a group of our properties and by factors affecting generally the health-care industry, the Southern California economy or the “Golden Triangle” area. Our business could be particularly adversely affected, for example, by a catastrophic incident such as a material terrorist attack or earthquake centered in the “Golden Triangle” area.

Failure of our tenants to comply with health-care regulations could affect their operations and their ability to make lease payments to us.

The health-care industry is highly regulated by federal, state and local law and is directly affected by state and local licensure, fines, and loss of certification required to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, as well as potential criminal penalties. Failure of our tenants to comply with governing laws, requirements and regulations could adversely affect the operation of our properties and a tenant’s capacity to make lease payments to us.

Delays in reimbursement by healthcare payors to our tenants could adversely impact their ability to pay rent.

The healthcare industry is facing various challenges, including increased government and private payor pressure on health-care providers to control costs, and the vertical and horizontal consolidation of healthcare providers. Healthcare reform has been the subject of much governmental review in recent periods. It is currently unclear the direction or extent of such reform.

We believe that government and private efforts to contain and reduce healthcare costs will continue. These trends are likely to lead to reduced or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of our tenants. We cannot predict whether governmental reforms will be adopted. If adopted such reforms may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We have greater operating costs than other real estate operators due to our healthcare focus.

The costs of operating a medical office building are typically higher than those of a conventional office or retail space. For example, medical office tenants typically have greater demands for electricity than conventional office tenants, and special elevators and waste disposal facilities are often required. In our leases that are not triple net, we may have to bear all of these additional costs. In addition, even in our triple net leases, we may not, in the future, be able to pass through all of these costs to our tenants if it becomes economically prohibitive to do so because it would result in the loss of our tenants. As a natural result of the nature of our tenant’s clientele, we may be more exposed to slip and fall type liability and claims than operators of conventional office space, and our insurance premiums may, accordingly, be higher than the operators of such conventional office facilities. Again, while most of our leases are currently triple net leases, we may not in the future be able to pass through all of these costs to our tenants as these triple net leases turnover.

Properties we acquire or develop may underperform forecasted results.

We may continue to pursue acquisitions of additional MOB properties and to selectively develop new properties. Acquisitions and development entail risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations and that estimates of the cost of improvements necessary to develop and acquire properties will prove inaccurate, in addition to the general investment risks associated with any new real estate investment.

Table of Contents

Properties that we develop or acquire and renovate substantially do not have the operating history that would allow our management to make objective pricing decisions in acquiring these properties. The purchase prices of these properties are based upon projections by management as to the expected operating results of such properties, subjecting us to risks that such properties may not achieve anticipated operating results or may not achieve these results within anticipated time frames.

We may be limited in our ability to finance future acquisitions.

We anticipate that future acquisitions and development will largely be financed through externally generated funds such as mortgage loans, borrowings under credit facilities and other secured and unsecured debt financing and from issuances of equity securities. Because we must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income each year to maintain our qualification as a REIT, our ability to rely upon income from operations or cash flow from operations to finance our growth and acquisition activities will be limited. Accordingly, if we are unable to obtain funds from borrowings or the capital markets to finance our acquisition and development activities, our ability to grow and diversify our investment portfolio could be curtailed.

We depend on debt financing which could result in foreclosure on our properties if we are unable to make required payments.

We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, the risk that existing indebtedness on the properties cannot be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness and the risk that necessary capital expenditures for such purposes as renovations and reletting space cannot be financed on favorable terms, if at all. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the property could be lost through foreclosure or transfer to the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset value to us.

We may be unable to renew leases or relet space as leases expire.

We are subject to the normal risks associated with leasing property, including the risk that upon the expiration of leases for space located in the properties, the leases may not be renewed, the space may not be relet or the terms of renewal or leasing (including any cost of required renovations or concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than current lease terms. If we are unable promptly to relet or renew leases for a significant portion of our space or if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting are significantly lower than expected rates, then our earnings and ability to make expected distributions to stockholders may be adversely affected. As our buildings are specially set up for medical office purposes, and as medical professionals typically prefer to be located in buildings with a high percentage of other medical professional tenants, we are more limited in our selection of potential tenants than general commercial or office buildings. Since our leases are typically short term (our average remaining lease term as of December 31, 2005 was only 2.8 years, excluding month-to-month tenants), increasing vacancy factors and declining rental rates can affect our cash flow more quickly than businesses that rely on longer term leases.

Closure of nearby hospitals could affect the desirability of our properties.

Our MOBs are often in close proximity to one or more hospitals. Fourteen of our MOBs are located less than one-half mile from a hospital. The relocation or closure of a hospital could make our nearby Properties (particularly those outside of the Beverly Hills area) less desirable to doctors affiliated with the hospital and affect our ability to collect rent due under existing leases, renew leases and attract new tenants.

We face competition from other health-care investors, which may prevent us from taking advantage of investment opportunities.

We compete with other REITs, real estate partnerships, healthcare providers and other investors, including real estate developers, professional medical partnerships, financial institutions and institutional investors, many of which have greater financial resources than us, in the acquisition and leasing of healthcare facilities. Among other things, we must secure continued access to capital to fund new healthcare property acquisitions, and identify and successfully pursue opportunities for investment in healthcare properties. Given the competition in the MOB marketplace, there can be no assurance that suitable investments will be identified or that additional investments can be consummated on terms favorable to us.

Table of Contents

We face potential liability relating to environmental matters.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in its property. Current or prior owners or operators may also be liable for government fines and damages for injuries to persons, natural resources and adjacent property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of any hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to borrow using the real estate as collateral and may subject the owner to material remediation costs.

The cost of complying with environmental laws could materially and adversely affect amounts available for distribution to our stockholders and could exceed the value of our properties. In addition, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remediate these substances, including medical waste generated by physicians or other healthcare tenants, may adversely affect our tenants’ or our ability use, sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral, which, in turn, could reduce our revenue and our financing ability. Liability for, or other claims against us in connection with, environmental matters may exist of which we are unaware.

As part of the normal practice of doctors, medical waste is generated. Our leases require the individual tenants to make arrangements for the disposal of medical waste and require all tenants to provide proof that they have contracted with a third party service to remove it from the premises each night. The handling and disposal of this waste is the responsibility of the tenants; however, we remain responsible as the owner of the property. There can be no assurances that all such medical waste will be properly handled and disposed of or that we will not incur costs in connection with improper disposal of medical waste by our tenants. In addition, environmental and occupational health and safety laws are constantly evolving, and changes in laws, regulations or policies, or changes in their interpretations, could create liabilities where none exist today.

We are exposed to risks related to our historic skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities assets and business.

There is typically, in our view, a greater litigation risk in the ownership and leasing of skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and assisted living facilities (“ALFs”) than in the ownership and leasing of MOB assets. While we have spun off our SNF and ALF business, and while we operated our SNF and ALF business through special purpose limited liability entities, the risk remains that we could be named in lawsuits relating to alleged shortfalls in the operating quality of SNF and ALF tenants occurring prior to the date of the spin off of the SNF and ALF business and that the plaintiffs in these lawsuits could seek to pierce the corporate veil to reach our MOB assets. So called “Elder Abuse” is an increasingly popular tort for plaintiff’s lawyers, and litigation in this area appears to be significantly on the rise. Also, for approximately four years, one of our subsidiaries was the holder of the operating license for a group of SNFs located in Massachusetts, and was involved in the operation of those facilities while working to identify a new tenant for these facilities.

Our financial performance will be affected by risks associated with the real estate industry.

Events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators or real property, some of which are beyond our control, may adversely affect our economic performance and ability to pay dividends to our stockholders include:

 

    changes in the national, regional and local economic climate;

 

    local conditions such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, medical office space, outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities, physician practice group clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, specialty hospitals and treatment centers and senior care facilities;

    reduced attractiveness of our properties to physicians and other types of tenants;

 

    competition from other medical office buildings, outpatient treatment facilities, physician practice group clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, specialty hospitals, treatment centers and senior care facilities;

 

    inability to collect rent from tenants;

 

    increased operating costs, including real estate taxes, insurance premiums and utilities;

 

    costs of complying with changes in government regulations; and

 

    the relative illiquidity of real estate investments.

In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases. If any of these events were to happen, our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our stockholders could be materially adversely affected.

We may incur significant costs complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1993, or ADA, all public accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by persons with disabilities. A determination that we are not in compliance with the ADA with respect to any of our properties could result in the imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants. In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations. If we were required to make substantial modifications at our properties to comply with the ADA or governmental rules and regulations, our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our stockholders could be materially adversely affected.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and, therefore, tend to limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Virtually all of our properties are “special purpose” properties that could not be readily converted to general residential, retail or office use. Thus, if the operation of any of our properties becomes unprofitable due to competition, age of improvements or other factors such that our lessee becomes unable to meet its obligations on the lease, the liquidation value of the property may be substantially less, particularly relative to the amount owing on any related mortgage loan, than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to other uses. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with real estate investment, such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment. Should such events occur, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

Our properties are subject to property taxes that may increase in the future and adversely affect our business.

Our properties are subject to real and personal property taxes that may increase as property tax rates change and as the properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, property in California typically is only subject to reassessment if sold and minimal annual increases. However, no assurances can be given, as state budgets become increasing strained, whether this will continue to be the case in California. Our leases generally provide that the property taxes are charged to the tenants as an expense related to the properties that they occupy. As the owner of the properties, however, we are ultimately responsible for payment of the taxes to the government. If property taxes increase, our tenants may be unable to make the required tax payments, ultimately requiring us to pay the taxes.

Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.

Although we carry comprehensive liability and casualty insurance with respect to our properties, there can be no assurance that policies maintained by us will be adequate in the event of a loss. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors may also make it impracticable to use insurance proceeds to rebuild a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive might not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to the affected property. In addition, some of our policies, like those covering losses due to earthquakes, floods and windstorms, are subject to limitations involving deductibles and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses. All of our MOBs are located in Southern California, an area especially prone to earthquakes. Generally, we do not carry insurance for uninsured losses, such as loss from riots, war or events of force majeure. Some risks simply are not currently insurable, such as risk of loss due to nuclear, chemical or biological terrorist attack. Also, our insurance policies themselves are lengthy and highly technical, and there may be gaps in our coverage that we do not currently fully appreciate.

If we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged property as well as the anticipated future cash flows from that property. In addition, if the damaged property is subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if the property was irreparably damaged. In the event of a significant loss at one or more of the properties covered by our blanket policy, the remaining insurance under our policy, if any, could be insufficient to adequately insure our remaining properties. In this event, securing additional insurance, if possible, could be significantly more expensive than our current policy.

An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the policies on our properties could subject us to lost capital or revenue on those properties.

Under their leases, tenants are generally required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons, air, water, land or property, on or off the premises due to activities conducted by them on the properties. There are, however, generally speaking exceptions for claims arising from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct by us. Additionally, tenants are generally required, with the exception of entities that are self-insured, to obtain and keep in force during the term of the lease at their own expense, liability and property damage insurance policies issued by companies holding general policyholder ratings at a minimum level. In the event that we experience an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of the insurance policies on our properties, we may suffer significant losses of capital that we have invested in those properties or lost revenue in the form of unpaid lease payments from tenants.

We are subject to the risks associated with the contracting out of substantially all of the day-to-day management of our business.

Since the spin-off of G&L Realty Corp., LLC, our Company has not retained any employees dedicated solely to the management of its business. G&L Realty Corp., LLC, in addition to providing day-to-day management for our Company, also manages its own assets and businesses and those of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC and certain of its affiliates. Furthermore, G&L Realty Corp., LLC is wholly owned by Daniel Gottlieb, Steven Lebowitz, Richard Gottlieb and Andrew Lebowitz, who also have, directly or indirectly, financial interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC and certain of its affiliates. Accordingly, this management and ownership structure could divert the attention of the individuals responsible for day-to-day management. In such event, our business could be harmed. Also, Mr. S. Craig Tompkins, a member of the Board of Directors of our Company, is also a member of the three member management committees of G&L Realty Corp., LLC and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC with Messrs. Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz. Together, Messrs. Tompkins, Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz constitute a majority of our Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz control all matters that are subject to stockholder approval as a result of their ownership of 100% of our common stock.

As a result of their 100% ownership of our outstanding common stock, Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz have interests that may differ from those of the holders of our preferred stock and may vote as stockholders in ways that may not be consistent with the interests of the holders of our preferred stock. Their ownership interests may delay, prevent or deter a change of control of our Company or could deprive holders of our preferred stock of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as a part of a sale of our Company. The directors of our Company serve at the pleasure of Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz and can be removed at any time, with or without cause.

Moreover, Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are also the owners of limited partnership units, representing approximately 3.5% of the partnership interests, in the Operating Partnership, through which we own all of our Properties, and their interests in the distributions from the operating partnership are senior to dividend payments to the holders of our preferred stock. Accordingly, they may influence the amount and timing of distributions from the Operating Partnership in ways that may adversely affect the holders of our preferred stock.

There may be potential conflicts between our two common stockholders.

Although Mr. Daniel Gottlieb holds 54% of our outstanding common stock, compared to Mr. Steven Lebowitz’s 46%, Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz operate our company together and consult extensively with each other before significant decisions are made. Specifically, Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz have agreed that any extraordinary transactions, such as a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, would require the unanimous approval of the common stockholders. This may slow the decision-making process, and a disagreement between the two individuals could prevent key strategic decisions from being made in a timely manner. In the event Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are unable to continue to work well together in providing cohesive leadership, our business could be harmed.

Our common stockholders may dispose of their shares of common stock at any time and in a manner that may materially adversely affect our Company.

Other than their agreement regarding extraordinary transactions discussed immediately above, Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are not party to any agreement governing the disposition of their common stock and are free, subject to applicable state and federal restrictions on the sale of securities and to the ownership limitations set forth our articles of incorporation, to sell or otherwise dispose of their respective interests in our Company in such manner and to such persons as they may, in their sole and absolute discretion, determine. Consequently, we may be subject to a greater risk of a change of control transaction than a company whose common shares were more broadly held.

We may pursue less vigorous enforcement of terms of certain agreements because of conflicts of interest with our two common stockholders.

Our Company is the holder of a $4 million promissory note from G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a company approximately 98.25% owned and controlled by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz. G&L Realty Corp., LLC is wholly owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz and certain members of their family and responsible for the day-to-day management of our Company through a long term management agreement. While we have endeavored to negotiate these transactions at arms length, in each case these transactions are with entities controlled and principally owned by our controlling stockholders. Accordingly, we may choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under these agreements because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationships with Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz and/or because of their practical power to remove directors and appoint their replacements.

Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

Our future success depends in large part upon the continued service of key members of the G&L Realty Corp., LLC management team. In particular, Messrs. Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz, our founders, Co-Chairmen and Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, are critical to the overall management of our company as well as our development and strategic direction. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz have worked together as partners for the past 28 years, and are principally responsible for the development of our Company as it exists today.

Messrs. Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz are each key executives, and the loss of either or both of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on us. While G&L Realty Corp., LLC has employment contracts

Table of Contents

with each of these executives, these contracts may be easily terminated, as can the management agreement between G&L Realty Corp., LLC and our Company, and will be of limited benefit to the holders of the Company’s preferred stock, since they will have no control over whether Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, as the owners of all of our common stock, should chose to amend, modify, terminate or extend such agreements. Although neither Mr. Gottlieb or Mr. Lebowitz has indicated he intends to retire, Mr. Gottlieb is 65 years old and Mr. Lebowitz is 65 years old. Furthermore, given their interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, they have not been available to our Company on a full time basis since the spin-off of that company in 2004. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that either or both of them will continue to work for us on even a part-time basis in the future.

Other than Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, we operate with a limited and relatively inexperienced executive management staff. After Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, our next most senior executive officer is Mr. David Hamer, our vice president, chief accounting officer and secretary, who is 32 years old and has been with us since 1998. In 2002, we employed Mr. Richard J. Gottlieb, who is 36 years old and the son of Mr. Daniel M. Gottlieb, and, in 2003, we employed Mr. Andrew Lebowitz who is 29 years old and the son of Mr. Steven D. Lebowitz. These individuals are now employees of G&L Realty Corp., LLC, and are only available to us through that company. While we believe that we could find replacements for our key personnel, the loss of their services could materially adversely affect our operations in the short-term.

We do not have a formal succession plan.

Mr. Daniel Gottlieb, our Chief Executive Officer, is 65 years old, and Mr. Steven Lebowitz, our President and Chief Financial Officer, is 65 years old. We do not have a formal succession plan and cannot assure you that we will establish one in a timely fashion or at all.

We may authorize and issue preferred stock without stockholder approval.

Under our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority to issue additional series of preferred stock ranking in parity with the Company’s preferred stock and establish the terms, preferences and rights of any such series of preferred stock, all without the consent of holders of our preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority, with the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding preferred stock, to issue additional series of preferred stock ranking senior to the preferred stock. The ability of holders of our preferred stock to receive their liquidation preference may be adversely affected by future issuances of preferred stock not expressly subordinated to our preferred stock.

Our Board of Directors may change our investment and financing policies without stockholder approval.

Our board of directors, without the approval of our stockholders, may alter our investment strategies and policies with respect to acquisitions, financing, borrowing and other activities, including our growth, debt-to-capital ratio, distributions, REIT status and operations. Investment and policy changes could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay dividends to holders of our preferred stock.

The composition of our Board of Directors may be altered at any time by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz.

The composition of the board of directors can be changed at any time by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, as the owners of all of our outstanding common stock.

Our articles of incorporation contain ownership limitations that may prevent transactions that may be beneficial to the Company.

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals during the last half of each taxable year. To preserve our REIT status, our articles of incorporation restrict direct or constructive ownership of more than 8% of the capital stock (in value or in number) by any single individual stockholder (including certain entities) other than Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz. The constructive ownership rules are complex and may cause common stock or preferred stock owned, directly or constructively, by a group of related individuals or entities to be aggregated for purposes of the ownership limitation. The ownership limitation could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control or other transaction that may be beneficial to our stockholders.

Our debt level reduces the cash available for distribution.

We currently use and intend to continue to use debt financing for new investments. Debt financing may include our credit facility or permanent secured or unsecured long-term debt. Our use of debt financing presents the risk to holders of our preferred stock that payments of principal and interest on borrowings will leave us with insufficient cash resources to pay dividends required by the terms of our preferred stock or distributions in respect of capital stock required to be paid in order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

Failure to qualify as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences to us and the value of our stock.

We intend to continue to operate as a REIT under the Code. Although our management believes that we are organized and are able to operate in such a manner, no assurance can be given that we will continue to qualify as a REIT or that the Internal Revenue Service will not take issue with our view that we so qualify. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may impact our ability to qualify as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. We are not aware of any proposal to amend the tax laws that would significantly and adversely affect our ability to operate as a REIT.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. In addition, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we will also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. This treatment would significantly reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability to us for the year or years involved. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The MOB Properties consist of 17 high quality MOBs directly owned by the Company, four MOBs indirectly-owned by the Company through joint ventures and an adjacent parking facility. As of January 31, 2006, the MOB Properties were approximately 98.8% leased to 404 tenants. The Company’s MOB tenants are primarily established medical practitioners representing a cross section of medical practices.

Description of the MOB Properties

The following tables set forth certain information regarding each of the MOB Properties as of January 31, 2006. Although the Company’s sole asset is its interest in the Operating Partnership, all of the MOB Properties are ultimately held in fee by the applicable special purpose limited partnership or limited liability company through which we hold our ownership interest. Except as noted below, the Operating Partnership owns 100% of each property.

Santa Clarita Valley Medical Center, Building F

Building F at the Santa Clarita Valley Medical Center is a two-story, approximately 44,000 square foot MOB built by the Company in 1999. The building is located on the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Campus and is adjacent to the other five MOBs owned by the Company on the Hospital Campus. Building F is the premier medical office building in the Santa Clarita Valley area.

Santa Clarita Valley Foundation Building

The Foundation Building is a one-story, approximately 8,000 square foot MOB that is located on the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Campus and is currently 100% leased to the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Foundation. In 2003, the Company purchased approximately 10 acres of land from the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital for $3.9 million. As part of the purchase, the Company acquired the Foundation Building and approximately 4 acres of vacant land along with the approximately 6 acres of land that the Company had been leasing for $264,000 per year from the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital. The Santa Clarita Valley Medical Center MOBs are located on the 6 acres of the land that were previously leased from the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.

Leases

As of January 31, 2006, the MOB Properties were approximately 98.8% leased. New leases and extensions are normally granted for a minimum of three to five years and provide for annual rent increases. Office tenants generally have gross leases whereby rents may be adjusted for a tenant’s proportionate share of any increases in the cost of operating the building. However, the Company has recently been leasing office space with provisions that require the tenants to pay all utility costs directly. Most retail tenants have net leases and pay their share of all operating expenses including property taxes and insurance. The following is a lease expiration table setting forth the number, square feet and associated annual rent for those leases expiring in future years.

1) Does not include month-to-month leases or vacant space. There are 38 month-to-month tenants who occupy approximately 56,000 square feet of space and pay approximately $138,000 per month in rent.

The Company has generally enjoyed strong lease renewals, achieving a weighted average renewal rate of approximately 90.6% on MOB leases that expired during 2005. Although there can be no assurance that this renewal level will be maintained, the Company believes this high renewal rate is due in part to the tendency of medical practitioners to continue to practice in the same space over a number of years. Also, the Company’s tenants frequently invest large sums of money in equipment and fixtures for their offices. Furthermore, relocating a doctor’s office can be disruptive to the patients who are familiar with the doctor’s office location.

Insurance

The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to the MOB Properties. There are certain types of losses that may either be uninsurable or not economically insurable; moreover, there can be no assurance that policies maintained by the Company will be adequate in the event of a loss. The Company carries earthquake and flood insurance for coverage of losses up to $60 million on the

 

16


Table of Contents

MOB Properties, which amount represents approximately 71% of the net book value of these properties. This coverage is subject to a 5% deductible up to the amount of insured loss. All of the properties are located in Southern California, which has a history of seismic activity, including the 1994 Northridge earthquake that damaged the Holy Cross Medical Plaza property. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose its investment in, and anticipated earnings and cash flow from, a property.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There is no material pending litigation to which the Company or its consolidated or unconsolidated subsidiaries is a defendant or to which any of their properties is subject other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, most, if not all, of which is expected to be covered by insurance, except as discussed below.

During 2004, the Company and its directors reached a settlement of the various stockholder litigation growing out of the acquisition by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz in 2001 of all of the common stock in our Company that they did not already own. These cases were entitled Lukoff v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number BC 241251, filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, on December 4, 2000; Abrons v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number 24-C-00-006109, filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, on December 14, 2000; Morse v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number 221719-V, filed in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, on May 17, 2001; and Harbor Finance Partners v. Daniel M. Gottlieb et al., case number BC 251593, filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, on June 1, 2001. The total payment in settlement of these suits was $1.25 million, of which approximately $1 million was paid from insurance.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

All of the Company’s common stock is owned by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz. Accordingly, there is no established public market for our common stock.

The Company paid cash common stock dividends of $10 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $3 million in the third quarter of 2004. The Company also distributed property to its common stockholders in the second quarter of 2005 and the fourth quarter of 2004 as part of the spin off of its management company and its senior care properties valued for tax purposes at $4.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The Company paid monthly dividends to holders of the Company’s Series A (GLRPRA) and Series B (GLRPRB) Preferred Stock on the fifteenth day of each month. Dividends are paid monthly at the rate of $2.56 and $2.45 per annum on shares of the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, respectively. Distributions on the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are senior to all classes of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Company is currently exploring its options with respect to the redemption of its outstanding preferred stock so as to be able to operate as a private company. Like many other public companies of our size, we have found the costs of complying with the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley to be burdensome. The Company’s Series A and Series B preferred stock are both currently redeemable at a price of $25 per share upon thirty days notice to the

preferred stockholders. No assurances can be given at this time as to whether we will ultimately elect to redeem the outstanding preferred stock and go private, or to continue as a public company, or participate in some other transaction.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Selected Financial Data and the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Information contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Any one factor or combination of factors could cause the Company’s actual operating performance or financial results to differ substantially from those anticipated by management. Factors influencing the Company’s operating performance and financial results include, but are not limited to, changes in the general economy, the supply of, and demand for, healthcare related real estate in markets in which the Company has investments, the availability of financing, governmental regulations concerning, but not limited to, new construction and development, the creditworthiness of tenants and borrowers, environmental issues, healthcare services and government participation in the financing thereof, and other risks and unforeseen circumstances affecting the Company’s investments which may be discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Developments

Over the past two years, we have endeavored to re-focus our activities on the development, ownership and operation of MOBs in Southern California and to generally clean up our balance sheet by removing assets not related to that core focus. Consequently, since the beginning of 2004, we have either sold to third parties or spun-off to our Founding Stockholders (i) our retail properties (other than those retail areas located within or specifically ancillary to our MOBs), (ii) our skilled nursing facility and assisted care living facility assets, (iii) certain minority interests in entities owning or managing residential real estate, (iv) certain non-management minority interests in MOB development projects located outside of our core southern California base, and (v) certain related party promissory notes. In order to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest and to provide more flexibility to our management company, we have also spun-off our management company operations to our Founding Stockholders, and are now managed under a long term management agreement with that company. In order to protect the interests of our preferred stockholders, that management agreement specifically subordinates all management fees to the payment of dividends on our preferred stock and to the liquidation preference of the holders of our preferred stock. Since the spin-off of our skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets, we have operated in only one business segment – the ownership, acquisition, development and management of medical office buildings.

On November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders in order to focus our activities on the medical office building segment of our business. Assets with a net asset value (based on independent fair market valuations of these skilled nursing and assisted living facilities) of approximately $5.03 million were distributed in this spin-off. These assets are now held by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a company controlled by our common stockholders. Sometimes we refer to our skilled nursing facilities as “SNFs”, to our assisted living facilities as “ALFs” and generally to our SNFs and ALFs as our “senior care properties” or “senior care assets.”

Table of Contents

On June 30, 2005, the Company distributed its membership interests in G&L Realty Corp., LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to its common stockholders. G&L Realty Corp., LLC provides management services to both the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. As part of the distribution of G&L Realty Corp., LLC to the Company’s stockholders, the Company entered into a management agreement with G&L Realty Corp., LLC. The management agreement calls for G&L Realty Corp., LLC to continue to provide management services to the Company in exchange for the reimbursement of the costs associated with such services through the end of 2005. These costs represented approximately 35% of the total overhead costs of G&L Realty Corp., LLC during 2005.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began paying fees to G&L Realty Corp., LLC based on a schedule of fixed fees as provided for in the management agreement. In addition, the Company, commencing January 1, 2006, began reimbursing G&L Realty Corp., LLC for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the cost of any on-site managers or on-site personnel provided at the request of our Company, but not any home office or general and administrative personnel. G&L Realty Corp., LLC also provides leasing services, but receives no additional compensation with respect to the provision of such services. Historically, the Company has made only limited use of outside brokers to obtain tenants. As a result of the management agreement with G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Company has no employees and has effectively out-sourced all of its day-to-day operating functions.

Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, the Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company, are the majority owners of G&L Realty Corp., LLC and have full control over the decision-making of G&L Realty Corp., LLC. Thus, the controlling stockholders of the Company will continue to have significant involvement in the management and operations of G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

Prior to the distribution of G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Operating Partnership contributed to that company (i) the two notes receivable due from Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz totaling $5.1 million to G&L Realty Corp., LLC, (ii) its $1 million investment in a company engaged in the business of managing and acquiring low cost housing, and (iii) its $2.7 million limited partnership investment in a limited partnership formed to acquire and develop a vacant

parcel of land in Northern California. Accordingly, these assets were distributed to the Company’s common stockholders as part of the distribution of G&L Realty Corp., LLC on June 30, 2005. In connection with the distribution, the Company obtained an independent appraisal of the fair market value of G&L Realty Corp., LLC as an independent company. The appraisal valued G&L Realty Corp., LLC at $4.3 million, compared to a carrying value of $8.4 million. The excess of the carrying value of the net assets over the fair value in the amount of $4.1 million was recognized as an impairment loss on the Company’s financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition. The majority of the Company’s revenues results from rents from operating leases. Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are due. Certain leases include rent concessions and escalation clauses creating an effective rent that is included in unbilled rent receivable. Prior to April 1, 2004, the Company’s revenue also consisted of patient revenue derived from its operation of three skilled nursing facilities located in Massachusetts. Patient revenue was reported at the estimated net realizable amount from patients, third party payors and others for services rendered, net of contractual adjustments. Since April 1, 2004, the Company no longer holds the operating licenses for the three SNFs located in Massachusetts and has not derived any revenues from patients. The Massachusetts facilities were among the assets of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC that were spun off to the Company’s common stockholders in November 2004.

Allowances for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable. Tenant rents and reimbursements receivable, unbilled rent receivable and mortgage loans and bonds receivable are carried net of the allowances for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances requires significant judgments and estimates. Tenant rents and reimbursements receivable consist of amounts due for contractual lease payments and reimbursements for common area maintenance, property taxes, insurance and other expenses due from tenants. Management regularly reviews its tenant receivables and adjusts the allowance based on specific identification, in management’s opinion, of an individual tenant’s ability to pay its obligations under the terms of its lease. Unbilled rent receivable consists of the cumulative straight-line rental income recorded to date that exceeds the actual amounts billed to date under the Company’s lease agreements. Based on historical loss experience, management has typically maintained a reserve for unbilled rent receivable equal to approximately 10% of the unbilled rent receivable balance. Mortgage loans and bonds receivable consist of the Company’s investment in loans secured by real property along with certain unsecured notes. Management regularly evaluates its loan portfolio and adjusts the allowance based on the specific identification, in management’s opinion, of a borrower’s ability to pay its obligations under the terms of the loan.

Long-lived assets. The Company’s assets consist mainly of investments in real property. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s book value exceeds the undiscounted expected future cash flows to be derived from that asset. Whenever undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the book value, the asset will be reduced to estimated fair value and an impairment loss will be recognized. During 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $4.1 million associated with the distribution of the Company’s interest in G&L Realty Corp., LLC to its common stockholders as of June 30, 2005. In 2004, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $8.1 million associated with the senior care spin-off. The Company recorded no impairment losses in 2003.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2005 Versus the Year Ended December 31, 2004

Total revenues decreased by $11.6 million, or 28%, from $41.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $30.3 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease was due to a $6.7 million decrease in patient revenues, a $4.3 million decrease in rental revenue, a $1.3 million decrease in other income and a $0.4 million decrease in interest income. These decreases were offset by a $0.9 million increase in reimbursements from G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, following the spin-off of that company to our common stockholders in November 2004.

Table of Contents

Patient revenues decreased by $6.7 million, or 100%, from $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $0 for the same period in 2005. On April 1, 2004, the licenses to operate the three SNFs in Massachusetts were transferred to the manager of those facilities. Upon the transfer of these licenses, the Company no longer reflects the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the operations of these three SNFs in its consolidated financial statements. As of April 1, 2004 and through the date of the spin-off on November 1, 2004, the Company recorded rental income per the terms of the leases it entered into with the new owners of the operating licenses for these facilities. The Company’s other skilled nursing and assisted living facilities had triple net leases in place prior to April 1, 2004.

Rents, tenant reimbursements, reimbursements from related party and parking revenues decreased by $3.1 million, or 10%, from a combined total of $31.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $28.6 million for the same period in 2005. The $5.1 million decrease in rental revenues was the natural consequence of the spin-off of the Company’s skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets on November 1, 2004. After the spin-off, the Company no longer has any ownership in those assets, and thus does not recognize any rental revenue related to those facilities. This decrease was offset by an increase in reimbursements from related party of $0.9 million due to amounts billed to G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC under the cost sharing agreement discussed above under Recent Developments. The cost sharing agreement called for the Company to be reimbursed by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC for approximately 65% of the Company’s general and administrative expenses. During the first two quarters of 2005, the Company billed $0.9 million to G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC pursuant to this cost sharing agreement. In addition, rental revenue increased an additional $1.1 million due to the non-fixed rent increases pursuant to the Company’s MOB leases.

Interest and loan fee income decreased by $0.4 million, or 21%, from $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $1.5 million for the same period in 2005. Approximately $1.1 million of this decrease was due to additional interest earned in 2004, on the Company’s note receivable from Lakeview Associates, LLC (“Lakeview”). Lakeview, a joint venture in which the Company owned a 50% interest, sold its two-story, 80-unit assisted living facility (“ALF”) located in Yorba Linda, California in September 2004. The Company had a second deed of trust note on the ALF owned by Lakeview and had not been recognizing the interest income due under the note due to uncertainty of collection. Upon the sale of the ALF, Lakeview repaid the second deed of trust note and all accrued interest and the Company recognized the payment of the accrued interest as interest income. This decrease was offset by a $0.4 million increase in interest income reflecting interest earned on the two promissory notes from G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. The $2 million promissory note due from G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC was repaid in full on April 1, 2005. In addition, $0.3 million of the increase in interest income was due to interest earned on the Company’s cash on hand which was higher than during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Total expenses decreased by $13.7 million, or 31%, from $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $30.7 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease was due to a decrease in skilled nursing operation costs of $6.3 million, a decrease in the impairment of assets of $4.0 million, a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $1.4 million, a decrease in provisions for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable of $1.0 million and a decrease in general and administrative costs of $1.5 million. These decreases were offset by an increase in interest expense of $0.5 million.

Skilled nursing operations decreased by $6.3 million, or 100%, from $6.3 million in for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $0 for the same period in 2005. On April 1, 2004, the licenses to operate the three SNFs in Massachusetts were transferred to the manager of the facilities. Upon the transfer of these licenses, the Company no longer reflects the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the operations of these three SNFs in its consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.4 million, or 36%, from $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $3.1 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease was a natural consequence of the spin-off of the Company’s skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets on November 1, 2004. The Company recorded $1.3 million of depreciation and amortization expense related to its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in the year ended December 31, 2004. After the spin-off, the Company no longer has any ownership interest in those assets, and thus does not record any depreciation or amortization expense related to those assets. On March 24, 2005, the Company sold an office and retail complex located in Coronado, California which accounted for the remaining decrease in depreciation and amortization expense.

Interest expense increased $0.5 million, or 5%, from $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $11.1 million for the same period in 2005. Interest expense increased $2.1 million due to pre-payment fees and the write-off of deferred loan fees relating to the early repayment of two separate loans totaling $14.0 million. On March 23, 2005, the Company refinanced the existing loan secured by its MOB located in Mission Hills, California with a new $17.8 million loan. In connection with the early repayment of the existing loan, the Company paid a prepayment penalty and wrote off loan fees totaling $0.8 million. In addition, on October 14, 2005, the Company refinanced the existing loan secured by two of its properties located in Tustin, California with a new $13.5 million loan. In connection with the early repayment of the existing loan, the Company incurred a prepayment penalty and wrote off loan fees totaling $1.3 million. These increases were offset by a $1.9 million decrease in interest expense due to the spin-off of the Company’s skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets on November 1, 2004.

General and administrative costs decreased by $1.5 million, or 27%, from $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $4.1 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease was attributed to the June 30, 2005 distribution to our common stockholders of the Company’s interest in G&L Realty Corp., LLC which provides management services to both the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. Prior to the distribution of G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Company recorded 100% of the general and administrative costs incurred by G&L Realty Corp., LLC under general and administrative expenses in its financial statements and recognized the percentage of general and administrative expenses reimbursed by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC as reimbursement revenue. Incident to the distribution of G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Company entered into the management agreement with G&L Realty Corp., LLC discussed above under Recent Events. These reimbursed costs represent approximately 35% of the total overhead costs of G&L Realty Corp., LLC. Subsequent to June 30, 2005, general and administrative expenses consist solely of amounts paid or reimbursed by the Company to G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

Provisions for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable decreased by $1.0 million, or 71%, from $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $0.4 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease is mainly the result of a decrease in reserves associated with the skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets spun-off on November 1, 2004.

Impairment of assets decreased by $4.0 million, or 49%, from $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, to $4.1 million for the same period in 2005. The Company recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $8.1 million during 2004 associated with the spin-off of the Company’s senior care assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. During 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $4.1 million associated with the distribution of the Company’s membership interest in G&L Realty Corp., LLC to its common stockholders as of June 30, 2005.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $0.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2005. This increase was due to the spin-off of the Company’s skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets on November 1, 2004. During 2004, the Company realized losses totaling $0.1 million related to its investments in certain unconsolidated entities which owned skilled nursing or assisting living facilities. Subsequent to the spin-off, the Company no longer has any ownership interest in those entities and thus does not recognize any income or loss related to those entities. In addition, in 2005, the Company recognized $0.5 million of income related to its investment in G&L Grabel San Pedro, LLC, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 50% interest. On April 7, 2005, G&L Grabel San Pedro, LLC refinanced its MOBs and distributed $2.5 million to the Company. The $2.5 million distribution was $0.5 million in excess of the Company’s basis in that limited liability company and was recorded as income because the Company has no obligation to return such distribution.

Total income from discontinued operations increased $6 million from $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $7.8 million for the same period in 2005. The main reason for this increase was the sale of Coronado Plaza, an office and retail center located in Coronado, California for $18.2 million on March 24, 2005. The Company recognized a gain of $7.7 million in connection with the sale. In 2004, income from discontinued operations consisted of a $0.3 million gain from the sale of the Company’s membership interest in a limited liability company that owned an ALF located in Tarzana, California in January 2004, a $0.3 million gain from sale of a research and development building located in Irwindale, California in March 2004 as well as a $2.1 million gain from the sale of an MOB located in Tustin, California in August 2004. These gains were offset by a loss of $0.2 million associated with the June 2004 sale of a 59-bed SNF located in Chico, California.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2004 Versus the Year Ended December 31, 2003

Total revenues decreased by $15.3 million, or 27%, from $57.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $41.9 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease was due to $19.4 million decrease in patient revenues along with a decrease in other income of $1.1 million. These decreases were offset by a $4.0 million increase in rents, tenant reimbursements and parking revenues as well as a $1.1 million increase in interest and loan fee income.

Patient revenues decreased by $19.4 million, or 74%, from $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $6.7 million for the same period in 2004. On April 1, 2004, the licenses to operate the three SNFs in Massachusetts were transferred to the manager of those facilities. Upon the transfer of these licenses, the Company no longer reflected the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the operations of these three SNFs in its consolidated financial statements. As of April 1, 2004, the Company recorded rental income per the terms of the leases it entered into with the new owners of the operating licenses. On November 1, 2004, the Company spun off all of its senior care assets to its common stockholders including the three facilities located in Massachusetts.

Rents, tenant reimbursements and parking revenues increased by $4.0 million, or 15%, from a combined total of $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $31.7 million in 2004. $2.2 million of this increase was due to an increase in rental revenue at the Company’s three SNFs located in Massachusetts. Subsequent to the transfer of the operating licenses mentioned above, the Company recorded rental income per the terms of the new leases entered into with the manager of these facilities. An additional $0.5 million of the increase in rental revenues was due to the acquisition of a 155-bed SNF located in Goodyear, Arizona, in June 2004 and spun-off to our common stockholders in November of that same year. Also, a new rental agreement with the operator of the Company’s SNF located in Hyattsville, Maryland accounted for an additional $0.3 million in rental revenues. The remaining $1.0 million increase consisted of a $0.7 million increase in rental revenue due to increased occupancy and rental rates at the Company’s MOB properties as well as a $0.3 million increase in tenant reimbursements for building operating expenses. Tenant reimbursements have increased because the Company has been obtaining higher reimbursements of operating expenses from its tenants under new and renewed lease agreements.

Interest and loan fee income increased $1.1 million, or 137%, from $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $1.9 million in 2004. $0.9 million of this increase was due to additional interest accrued on the Company’s note receivable from Lakeview. The Company had a second deed of trust note on the ALF owned by Lakeview and had been recognizing a bad debt expense with respect to the monthly interest payments owed on the note due to uncertainty of collection. Upon the sale of the ALF, Lakeview repaid the second deed of trust note and all accrued interest and the Company recognized the payment of accrued interest as interest income. The remaining $0.2 million increase in interest and loan fee income was due to additional interest earned on the Company’s cash on hand. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $10.5 million in cash on hand.

Other income decreased by $1.1 million, or 44%, from $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $1.5 million for the same period in 2004. This decrease was due to the collection in 2003 of $1.0 million related to a $4.6 million note receivable funded by the Company in December 1997. The Company had fully reserved for the outstanding loan balance in prior years and reversed $1 million of the reserve into other income upon receipt of the cash payment in 2003.

Total expenses decreased by $22.9 million, or 34%, from $67.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $44.4 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease was due to a decrease in skilled nursing operation costs of $17.6 million, a decrease in interest expense of $14.5 million and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million. These decreases were offset by an increase in the impairment of assets of $8.1 million, an increase in provisions for doubtful accounts of $0.4 million and an increase in general and administrative costs of $1.0 million.

Skilled nursing operation costs decreased by $17.6 million, or 74%, from $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $6.3 million for the same period in 2004. On April 1, 2004, the licenses to operate the three SNFs located in Massachusetts were transferred to the manager of those facilities. Upon the transfer of these licenses, the Company no longer reflected the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the operations of these three SNFs in its consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.4 million, or 8%, from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $4.5 million for the same period in 2004. This decrease of $0.3 million was with the natural result of the spin-off of all of the Company’s senior care assets to its common stockholders on November 1, 2004.

Interest expense decreased $14.5 million, or 58%, from $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $10.6 million for the same period in 2004. The primary reason for the decrease was the $11.1 million of pre-payment fees and the write-off of deferred loan fees, incurred during 2003, relating to the early repayment of four separate loans totaling $69.5 million. During 2003, the Company refinanced a $26.2 million loan secured by four of its MOBs located in Beverly Hills, California, a $31.5 million loan secured by MOBs located in Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks and La Jolla, California, a $7.2 million loan secured by another MOB located in Beverly Hills, and a $4.6 million loan secured by an MOB located in Santa Clarita, California. An additional $3.9 million of this decrease was due to the repayment in September 2003 of the Company’s $35 million loan obtained in October 2001 in order to repurchase the Company’s outstanding common stock held stockholders other than Messrs. Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz. Also, $0.3 million of this decrease was due to a decrease in 2003 in the fair market value of the LIBOR interest rate cap associated with the $35 million loan. An additional $0.5 million decrease was due to a decrease in interest expense associated with the spin-off of all of the Company’s senior care assets to its common stockholders on November 1, 2004. These decreases were offset by a $1.3 million increase in interest expense due to the 2003 refinancing of four mortgage loans totaling $69.5 million with new mortgage loans totaling $123.3 million.

General and administrative costs increased $1 million, or 22%, from $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $5.6 million for the same period in 2004. $0.6 million of this increase was attributed to increased legal and consulting costs associated with the spin-off of the Company’s senior care assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004 along with certain potential refinancing and capital raising transactions that were never consummated. The remaining $0.4 million increase was the result of an increase in reserves associated with the $513,602 letter of credit in which the Company is the guarantor on and which was called upon in March 2005.

Provisions for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable increased by $0.4 million, or 40%, from $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $1.4 million for the same period in 2004. $0.8 million of this increase is the result of an increase in the Company’s provision for doubtful accounts associated with the Company’s three SNFs located in Massachusetts. Also, the Company increased its provision for doubtful bonds by an additional $0.3 million relating to the subordinated bonds purchased by the Company in 1999. These increases were offset by a $0.7 million decrease in provision for doubtful accounts associated with the Company’s SNF located in Hoquiam, Washington, which was included among the skilled nursing facilities spun-off on November 1, 2004.

The Company recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $8.1 million during 2004 associated with the spin-off of the Company’s senior care assets to its common stockholders on November 1, 2004.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. This decrease was mainly due to the sale, in 2003, of a 23,000 square foot MOB located in Aliso Viejo, California in which the Company held a 50% interest along with an ALF located in Omaha, Nebraska, in which the Company also had a 50% interest. During 2003, the Company recognized gains of approximately $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as a result of these sales.

Gains from sale of discontinued operations decreased $4.8 million, or 66%, from $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $2.5 million for the same period in 2004. The Company recognized net gains from discontinued operations in the amount of $2.5 million during 2004 due to the sale of an MOB, a research and development building and an SNF as well as the Company’s membership interest in a consolidated limited liability company that owned an ALF. The sale, in January 2004, of the Company’s membership interest in a limited liability company that owned an 80-unit ALF located in Tarzana, California accounted for $0.3 million of this gain while the March 2004 sale of a two-story, 48,000 square foot research and development building located in Irwindale, California accounted for an additional $0.3 million. In August 2004, the Company sold its 10,000 square foot MOB located in Tustin, California recognizing a gain of $2.1 million. These gains were offset by the $0.2 million loss on the sale of a 59-bed SNF located in Chico, California in June 2004. During 2003, the Company recognized net gains

from discontinued operations in the amount of $7.3 million. The sale, in October 2003, of a one-story, 9,100 square foot retail facility located in Aliso Viejo, California accounted for a net gain of $0.8 million, while the sale, in December 2003, of a two-story, 26,000 square foot MOB located in Burbank, California accounted for a net gain of $1.4 million. In addition, in December 2003, the Company sold its membership interest in a limited liability company that owned a 92-unit ALF located in Santa Monica, California for $6 million and recognized a net gain on sale of $5.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $14.8 million of cash on hand. The Company obtains its liquidity from multiple internal and external sources. Internally, funds are derived from the operation of its MOB properties. The Company’s MOB Properties contain approximately 742,000 rentable square feet and, as of January 31, 2006 were approximately 98.8% leased to over 400 tenants with lease terms typically ranging from three to ten years.

The Company’s principal external sources of capital consist of various secured loans and selective asset sales. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had secured loans outstanding of approximately $159.3 million. During 2004, the Company obtained a $3 million secured line of credit that is secured by a first deed of trust on land owned by the Company in Santa Clarita, California. In April 2005, the line of credit was increased to $4 million. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. The Company has also been selling some of its assets which has provided additional liquidity. During 2005, the Company received net proceeds of $4.4 million from the sale of an office and retail center located in Coronado, California. The Company’s 2005 asset sales and refinancings are discussed below.

 

  On March 23, 2005, the Company refinanced the Holy Cross Medical Plaza, a 72,000 square foot MOB located in Mission Hills, California with a new $17.8 million loan from Countrywide Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. The Company received net proceeds of $9.7 million from the refinancing after repayment of the existing $7.1 million mortgage loan, prepayment penalties and closing costs. The new loan is for ten years but is interest only for two years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.71% per annum.

 

  On March 24, 2005, the Company sold Coronado Plaza, a 47,000 square foot office and retail center located in Coronado, California for $18.2 million.

While the Company is highly leveraged, the Company expects to continue meeting its short-term liquidity requirements through its working capital and cash flow provided by operations and its line of credit. The Company also expects to maintain stockholder distributions in accordance with REIT requirements, although no assurances can be given that the current level of distributions will be maintained. Long-term liquidity requirements such as refinancing mortgages, financing acquisitions and financing capital improvements will be accomplished through long-term borrowings, the sale of assets and joint venture arrangements. While we may sell assets from time to time to take advantage of market opportunities, we do not currently foresee any need to sell assets in order to meet our short or medium term liquidity needs.

Sources and Uses of Funds

The Company’s net cash from operating activities decreased $3.3 million from $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $8.0 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease is due to an increase in net gains from the sale of discontinued operations of $5.2 million, a decrease in the impairment of assets of $4.0 million, a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $1.9 million, a $0.9 million increase in the change in tenant rent and reimbursements receivable, an increase in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.6 million and a $1.0 million decrease in provisions for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable. These were offset by an $8.7 million increase in net income and a $1.5 million decrease in the change in deferred charges and other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $0.2 million from net cash used of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to net cash used of $1.1 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease was due to a $9.3 million decrease in sales of real estate assets, a $1.6 million increase in investments in notes and bonds receivable and a $2.5 million increase in pre-acquisition costs. These decreases were offset by a $2.3 million increase in principal payments received from notes and bonds receivable, a $7.7 million decrease in purchases of real estate assets, a $0.7 million decrease in projects under development costs, a $1.0 million decrease in contributions to unconsolidated affiliates, a $1.2 million increase in restricted cash and a $0.7 million decrease in additions to rental properties.

Net cash flows used in financing activities decreased approximately $8.8 million, or 77%, from $11.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, to $2.6 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease was due to a $10.1 million increase in notes payable proceeds, a $0.6 million decrease in the repayment of notes payable and a $4.4 million decrease in purchases of preferred stock. These were offset by a $6.3 million increase in distributions to stockholders.

Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company was the guarantor on a $513,602 letter of credit issued by U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) in favor of Fannie Mae c/o Greystone Servicing Corporation under which the Company’s maximum liability was approximately $410,000. In December 1999, the Company purchased $1.3 million of subordinated bonds secured by an apartment complex located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At the time, a letter of credit for $513,602 was issued by the Bank of Oklahoma in favor of the issuer of the subordinated bonds in order to pay the interest payments on the secured debt of the property in the event the cash flow of the property was insufficient to meet such payments. The Company guaranteed $250,000 of this letter of credit. In December 2003, June 2004 and December 2004, the borrower defaulted on the semi-annual interest payment to the holders of the subordinated bonds, including those held by the Company. The subordinated bonds owned by the Company are fully-reserved for on the Company’s balance sheet. In July 2004, the letter of credit issued by the Bank of Oklahoma was called upon and the Company was required to fund the $250,000 that it had guaranteed. Subsequently, the current letter of credit was issued by U.S. Bank. The Company’s partners in this investment are in the process of restructuring the management and operation of the property in order to make it profitable once again. As part of the restructuring, the letter of credit was called upon in March 2005 and the Company was required to make a payment of $410,000. The Company recorded a reserve of $410,000 on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 related to its maximum liability with respect to the letter of credit against which the March 2005 payment was applied.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had investments in one unconsolidated limited liability company, G&L Grabel San Pedro, LLC, which was formed for the purpose of acquiring and owning three medical office buildings in San Pedro, California. Per the terms of that company’s operating agreement, the Company could be required to advance additional funds to this company if the operating activities of the company are insufficient to satisfy the obligations of the company. Any additional funds advanced to the company would be treated as additional equity contributions and would be recorded as an investment in unconsolidated affiliates on the Company’s balance sheets. As of March 31, 2006, all of the assets of G&L Grabel San Pedro, LLC were under contract to be sold. Accordingly, we believe it unlikely that our Company will be called upon to advance any funding under this agreement.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had the following contractual obligations outstanding:

Debt Structure

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had twelve loans totaling $159.3 million. The terms of these loans are described below.

On July 2, 1999, the Company obtained a $10 million long-term loan from Ohio National Life Insurance Company secured by its six building portfolio of MOBs located at the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital campus in Santa Clarita, California. The loan, which is due on July 1, 2009, bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.85% per annum and had an unpaid balance of $8.5 million as of December 31, 2005.

Financing Policies

To the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company decides to seek additional funding, the Company may raise such capital using various means, including retention of internally generated funds (subject to the distribution requirements in the Code with respect to REITs), existing working capital and possibly the issuance of additional debt (secured or unsecured), the participation in joint venture arrangements or any combination of the above. It is anticipated that borrowings will continue to be made through the Operating Partnership or other entities, although the Company may also incur indebtedness that may be re-borrowed by the Operating Partnership on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Company’s borrowing of such funds. Except as required pursuant to existing financing agreements, the Company has not established any limit on the number or amount of mortgages or unsecured debt that may be placed on any single property or on its portfolio as a whole.

The Board of Directors of the Company also has the authority to cause the Operating Partnership to issue additional Units in any manner (and subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement on such terms and for such consideration) as it deems appropriate and may also decide to seek financing for the purposes of managing the Company’s balance sheet by adjusting the Company’s existing capitalization. The refinancing of the Company’s balance sheet may entail the issuance and/or retirement of debt, equity or hybrid securities.

Inflation

The majority of the Company’s leases are long-term leases designed to mitigate the adverse effect of inflation. All of the Company’s long-term leases contain provisions that call for either annual rent increases equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index or for specific annual rent increases usually ranging from 3-4%. Furthermore, many of the Company’s leases require tenants to pay a pro rata share of building operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance. The effect of such provisions is to reduce the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments” (SFAS No. 123(R)) which replaces SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. As such, pro forma disclosure in lieu of expensing is no longer an alternative. The new standard is effective in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2005, FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 47 was issued to clarify that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a

 

29


Table of Contents

legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred-generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The adoption of this Statement has not had a material impact on our financial statements and no liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2005 with respect to any conditional asset retirement obligations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. Among other changes, SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Abstract No.05-06, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination”, to address issues related to the amortization period of leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or placed in service after and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term. The Task Force reached a consensus that these types of leasehold improvements should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of the acquisition or the date the leasehold improvements are purchased. This consensus does not apply to preexisting leasehold improvements, but should be applied to leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The adoption of this Statement has not had a material impact on our financial statements.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure

Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations (“FFO”) to be an appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT. The Company calculates FFO as defined by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO is helpful in evaluating the performance of a real estate portfolio considering the fact that historical cost accounting assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. FFO is calculated to include the minority interests’ share of income from the Operating Partnership since the Operating Partnership’s net income is allocated proportionately among all owners of Operating Partnership units. The combined number of Operating Partnership units held by the Company is identical to the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and owners of Operating Partnership units may, at their discretion, convert their units into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

The Company believes that, in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the operating results of the Company, FFO should be examined in conjunction with the Company’s net income as presented in the Selected Financial Data and Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K and the additional data presented below. The table on the following page presents an analysis of FFO and additional data for each of the four quarters and the year ended December 31, 2005 for the Operating Partnership:

1) FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied), excluding extraordinary items and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation of real property, less preferred stock dividends paid to holders of preferred stock during the period and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated entities in which the Company holds a partial interest. FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator developed in compliance with GAAP, including measures of liquidity such as cash flows from operations, investing and financing activities. FFO is helpful in evaluating the performance of a real estate portfolio considering the fact that historical cost accounting assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. FFO is only one of a range of indicators which should be considered in determining a company’s operating performance. The methods of calculating FFO among different companies are subject to variation, and FFO therefore may be an invalid measure for purposes of comparing companies. Also, the elimination of depreciation and gains and losses on sales of property may not be a true indication of an entity’s ability to recover its investment in properties. The Company implemented the new methods of calculating FFO effective as of the NAREIT-suggested adoption dates of January 1, 1996 and January 1, 2000, respectively.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We have adopted a policy pursuant to which material transactions between us and our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders (i.e., stockholders owning beneficially 5% or more of our outstanding voting securities) are submitted to the board of directors for approval by a disinterested majority of the directors voting with respect to the transaction. For this purpose, a transaction is deemed material if such transaction, alone or together with a series of similar transactions during the same fiscal year, involves an amount which exceeds $60,000.

Certain Pre-Sarbanes Oxley Loans to Our Officers and Directors

In October 2001, the Operating Partnership loaned $5.2 million to Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company, to fund a $3.5 million tender offer for the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and to repay $1.7 million of personal debt. Each of the $2.6 million loans to Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are for a term of ten years, bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.5% and require monthly interest only payments. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz have the option to accrue any and all interest payments, which shall then be added to the principal balance of the notes. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal on these notes was $5.11 million and all accrued interest had been paid in full by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz. These notes were, in effect, distributed to our common stockholders during 2005 as part of the distribution of the Company’s membership interest in G&L Realty Corp., LLC which is discussed below.

Certain Asset Distributions to Our Common Stockholders.

On November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz were then and are today the sole common stockholders of the Company. In total, skilled nursing and assisted living assets having a net equity of $9.03 million, derived from current independent property appraisals less the existing property debt, have been spun-off to these stockholders. At the time of the spin-off, these assets were held by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, and the spin-off was effectuated by a distribution of the Company’s membership interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. In addition to these skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC had cash of approximately $2 million, and indebtedness to the Company of $6 million as of the effective date of the spin-off. Accordingly, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC at the time of the spin-off, had a net asset value (based on fair market valuations of its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities) of approximately $5.03 million.

Our Company continues to hold one promissory note issued by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a long term promissory note in the amount of $4 million bearing interest at the rate of 10.75% per annum, and will for some time continue to be a creditor of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. A short term promissory note in the amount of $2 million, with interest only payable monthly and which was unsecured, was repaid on April 1, 2005. The long term promissory note has a term of 12 years, provides for flat monthly payments of interest and principal on a 25 year amortization basis, with a balloon payment of $3.32 million at the end of the term, and is secured by the interests of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC in the various special purpose entities through which it holds its interest in its skilled nursing facility and assisted care living facility assets.

On June 30, 1005, our Company distributed to Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz all of our Company’s interest in G&L Realty Corp, LLC, the management company which provides management services to our Company and to G&L Senior Care Properties LLC. At the time of the distribution, G&L Realty Corp., LLC’s assets included (i) two promissory notes from Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz totaling $5.1 million, (ii) a $1 million investment in a company specializing in the management and ownership of low cost housing, and (iii) a $2.7 million minority investment as a limited partner in a limited partnership formed by unrelated parties to acquire and develop a vacant parcel of land Northern California. An independent appraisal conducted at the time of the distribution valued G&L Realty Corp., LLC at $4.3 million, as compared to a carrying value of $8.4 million. The excess of the carrying value of the net assets over the fair value in the amount of $4.1 million was recognized as an impairment loss in the Company’s financial statements.

Incident to the distribution, we also agreed to guarantee or otherwise lend certain funds to the Northern California limited partnership on a secured basis pending the procurement of construction finance by that limited

Table of Contents

partnership. Loans totaling $4.6 million were made during 2005, accruing interest at 9-10% per annum. These loans were repaid in full February 2006 as a part of the first funding under the limited partnership’s construction finance, and we have no further relationship with or commitments to that limited partnership.

Certain Stock Repurchases from Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz.

On December 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase by the Company of the 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for $4.44 million. The purchase price of $23.00 a share represented a 13% and 9% discount, respectively, to the market price of the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at the time. The Series C and Series D Preferred Stock rank on a parity with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and share pari passu in dividends and at liquidation. Our Company completed the repurchase on December 30, 2004. Our Board considered the transaction as essentially the same as a dividend on our Company’s common stock, given that at this time all of our Common Stock was owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz.

Certain Cost Sharing and Management Agreements with Entities Owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz.

Following the spin-off, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC is now owned and managed primarily by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, the CEO and President, respectively, of the Company. Due to the substantial management overlap between the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, the two companies, incident to the spin-off, entered into a cost sharing agreement to allocate between them each year the general and administrative costs of the two companies. At that time, management estimated that the skilled nursing facility and the assisted care living facility assets now owned by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, accounted for approximately 65% of the general and administrative costs of the two companies. Accordingly, under the cost sharing agreement, 65% of the Company’s general and administrative costs were reimbursed by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. Subsequent to the spin-off, general and administrative costs totaling $243,723 were allocated to and paid by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. As of December 31, 2005, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC did not owe any money to the Company.

Incident to the spin-off on June 30, 2005 of G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary through which management services were provided to the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a management agreement was put into place between the Company and G&L Realty Corp., LLC, providing for the ongoing provision of management services by G&L Realty Corp., LLC, to the Company. Initially, through December 31, 2005, this management agreement provided for essentially the same allocation of costs to the Company as under the cost sharing agreement discussed in the preceding paragraph. During the period July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, fees in the amount of approximately $730,000 were paid by the Company to G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began paying fees to G&L Realty Corp., LLC based on a schedule of fixed fees as provided for in the management agreement. In addition, the Company, commencing January 1, 2006, began reimbursing G&L Realty Corp., LLC for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the cost of any on-site managers or on-site personnel provided at the request of our Company, but not any home office or general and administrative personnel. G&L Realty Corp., LLC also provides leasing services, but receives no additional compensation with respect to the provision of such services. Historically, the Company has made only limited use of outside brokers to obtain tenants. As a result of the management agreement with G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Company has no employees and has effectively out-sourced all of its day-to-day operating functions.

Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, the Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company, are the majority owners of G&L Realty Corp., LLC and have full control over the decision-making of that company. Thus, our Founding Stockholders continue to have significant involvement in the management and operations of our Company through G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

Certain Compensation Paid to Directors.

During 2005, the Company paid Mr. S. Craig Tompkins, a director of our Company, $400,000 for services provided to the Company, principally $300,000 for his services as lead director in connection with the defense between 2000 and 2004 of certain litigation brought against the Company, our Directors and Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz relating to the 2001 merger transaction in which Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz acquired all of the outstanding common stock of the Company which they did not already own. These fees were in addition to the regular fees paid to the members of the Board of Directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

G&L Realty Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of G&L Realty Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of G&L Realty Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Bedford, 435 Bedford, 436 Bedford, Sherman Oaks, Regents and G&L Realty Corp., LLC (until June 30, 2005) and prior to November 1, 2004, Maryland Gardens, Hampden, Hoquiam, Massachusetts, Aspen, G&L St. Thomas More, St. Thomas More, Winter Gardens, Chestnut, Mary Lyon, Palm Valley (in which the Senior Care Partnership owned a 75% membership interest) and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC.

In addition to the entities listed above, the Company also owns interests in various unconsolidated affiliates. Although the Company’s investment represents a significant portion of the capital of such unconsolidated affiliates and the Company exercises influence over the activities of these entities, either the affiliates are not considered variable interest entities or the Company does not have the requisite level of voting control to include the assets, liabilities and operating activities of these entities in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The entities in which the Company has unconsolidated financial interests are as follows:

G&L Grabel San Pedro, LLC (“San Pedro”)

Paradigm Housing, LLC (“Paradigm”) (until June 30, 2005)

On June 27, 2005, the Operating Partnership contributed its investment in Paradigm to G&L Realty Corp., LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On June 30, 2005, the Company distributed its membership interests in G&L Realty Corp., LLC to its common stockholders. See footnote 14 for further discussion.

Prior to November 1, 2004, the Company also held interests in the following entities:

G&L Penasquitos, LLC (“Penasquitos”)

G&L Radius Realty, LLC (“Radius”)

Encanto Senior Care, LLC (“Encanto”)

Prior to October 1, 2004, the Company also held interests in the following entity:

Lakeview Associates, LLC (“Lakeview”)

San Pedro, and prior to June 30, 2005, Paradigm, and prior to November 1, 2004, Penasquitos, Radius and Encanto and, prior to October 1, 2004, Lakeview, are herein collectively referred to as the “Unconsolidated Affiliates” and individually as an “Unconsolidated Affiliate.”

In 2004, the Company decided to focus in the future on the development, ownership and operation of medical office buildings. Accordingly, on November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. In total, skilled nursing and assisted living assets having a net equity of $9.0 million, derived from current independent property appraisals less the existing property debt, have been spun-off to these stockholders. At the time of the spin-off, these assets were held by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, and the spin-off was effectuated by a distribution of the Company’s membership interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. The spin-off has not been presented as discontinued operations in the financial statements due to the Company’s continuing involvement in the operations of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC as discussed below. In addition to these skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC had cash of approximately $2 million, and indebtedness to the Company of $6 million as of the effective date of the spin-off. Accordingly, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC at the time of the spin-off, had a net asset value (based on fair market valuations of its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities) of approximately $5.0 million, as compared to a carrying value of $13.1 million. The excess of the carrying value of the net assets over the fair value in the amount of $8.1 million was recognized as an impairment loss.

Incident to the spin-off, the Company formed G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. The spin off consisted of the Company’s membership interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC which held the membership interests in Maryland Gardens, Hampden, Hoquiam, G&L St. Thomas More, St. Thomas More, Winter Gardens, Chestnut, Mary Lyon, Palm Valley, Penasquitos, Radius and Encanto and in the subsidiaries that served as the managing members of Maryland Gardens and Hampden. Following the spin-off, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC is now owned and managed primarily by Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz, the CEO and President, respectively, of the Company. Due to the substantial management overlap between the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, the two companies had entered into a cost sharing

Table of Contents

agreement to allocate to G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC each year the general and administrative costs incurred by the Company on behalf of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. Under this agreement, the Company, through June 30, 2005, had a significant continuing involvement in the management and operations of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. Both the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC share the same offices, accounting and administrative personnel and key decision makers. Management estimates that, through the date of the spin off of G&L Realty Corp., LLC on June 30, 2005 as discussed in Note 14, the skilled nursing facility and the assisted care living facility assets now owned by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, accounted for approximately 65% of the general and administrative costs of the Company. Following the distribution to the Company’s stockholders on June 30, 2005, of the management company through which these services were provided, there remains significant continuing involvement due to the commonality of ownership of the Company, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC and G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

Upon the spin-off of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, the Company held two promissory notes issued by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a short term promissory note in the amount of $2 million and a long term promissory note in the amount of $4 million, each bearing interest at the rate of 10.75% per annum. The short term promissory note had a term of six months, interest only payable monthly, and was unsecured. This note was repaid in full by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC on April 1, 2005. The long term promissory note has a term of 12 years, provides for flat monthly payments of interest and principal on a 25 year amortization basis, with a balloon payment of $3.3 million at the end of the term, and is secured by the interests of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC in the various special purpose entities through which it holds its interest in its skilled nursing facility and assisted care living facility assets. As of December 31, 2005, the unpaid balance on this note was $3.97 million. The Company will continue to be a creditor of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC for some time.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business— The Company is a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) that acquires, develops, manages and leases healthcare properties. Historically, the Company’s business has consisted of investments in a variety of healthcare properties. Prior to the spin-off on November 1, 2004, the Company’s investments in healthcare properties consisted of acquisitions, made either directly or through joint ventures, in medical office buildings (“MOBs”), skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and assisted living facilities (“ALFs”). After the spin-off of the SNF and ALF assets on November 1, 2004, the Company’s business consisted only of MOBs.

Basis of presentation— The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The interests in the Roxbury Partnership, the Operating Partnership and the Senior Care Partnership that are not owned by the Company, have been reflected as minority interests in the Operating and Senior Care Partnerships. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification— Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. In our consolidated statements of cash flows, we changed the classification of changes in restricted cash balances to present such changes as an investing activity. We previously presented such changes as a financing activity.

Properties— The Operating Partnership, the Senior Care Partnership, the Roxbury Partnership, Valencia, Holy Cross, Lyons, Coronado, Tustin II, Tustin III, 405 Bedford, 415 Bedford, 416 Bedford, 435 Bedford, 436 Bedford, Sherman Oaks and Regents own a 100% fee simple interest in all of the properties.

Income taxes— The Company expects to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to corporate Federal income taxes so long as it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to stockholders and meets certain other requirements relating to its income and assets. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company met all of these requirements. Though as a REIT the Company is generally not permitted to operate properties, in 2000, the Company foreclosed upon and took over the operations at three of its SNFs located in Massachusetts. Under Section 856(e) of the Code, the Company has the ability to operate these properties as “foreclosure property” for a period of up to three years after the year in which the foreclosure took place. However, the Company must pay Federal and State income taxes on the taxable income produced by these three facilities during this period. As a result, the Company included $136,000 of corporate income tax expense in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 with respect to these properties. On April 1, 2004, the Company transferred the operating licenses for these three facilities to the manager of these facilities and entered into a lease agreement

Table of Contents

with the manager. Upon the transfer of the licenses, the Company was no longer responsible for Federal and State income taxes on the taxable income produced by these three facilities. The three facilities produced a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004, thus, no tax expense has been included in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 or 2005.

The Company recorded an additional $86,000 of corporate income tax expense in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 related to its investment in a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(l) of the Internal Revenue Code. The taxable REIT subsidiary owned a SNF in Maryland and leased the SNF to an operator. State income tax requirements are similar to Federal requirements. At the end of 2003, the Company revoked the taxable REIT subsidiary election and converted the subsidiary into a qualified REIT subsidiary.

Real estate and depreciation— Rental property is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements    40 years
Tenant improvements    Life of lease
Furniture, fixtures and equipment    5 years

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $2,970,000, $4,854,000 and $5,382,000 respectively. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renovations and all costs directly related to acquisitions are capitalized.

Revenue recognition— Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are due. Certain leases include rent concessions and escalation clauses creating an effective rent that is included in unbilled rent receivable (Note 5). Patient revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from patients, third party payors and others for services rendered, net of contractual adjustments.

Cash and cash equivalents— All demand and money market accounts and short-term investments in governmental funds with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. Throughout the year, the Company maintained cash balances at banks in excess of federally insured limits.

Restricted Cash— Pursuant to various loan agreements, the Company is required to fund segregated interest bearing accounts to be used for debt service payments, property taxes, insurance premiums and property improvements.

Allowance for uncollectible amounts—Tenant rent and reimbursements receivable and unbilled rent receivable are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible amounts. Management determines the adequacy of the allowances based upon the specific individual receivables, management’s knowledge of the business and other relevant factors.

Deferred charges and other assets— Deferred charges and other assets consist of leasing commissions, deferred loan fees, financing costs, construction-in-progress, investments, deposits and prepaid expenses. Leasing commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases which range typically from five to ten years. Deferred loan fees are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective loan agreements. Expenses incurred to obtain financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan as a yield adjustment.

Minority interest in consolidated affiliate— The Operating Partnership, as sole general partner, has a 32.81% ownership interest in the Roxbury Partnership which owns the property located at 435 North Roxbury Drive. The minority interest is a debit balance that resulted from depreciation allocations and cash distributed to partners in excess of their original investment and subsequent accumulated earnings. It is management’s opinion that the deficit is adequately secured by the unrecognized appreciated value of the Roxbury property and will be recovered through an accumulation of undistributed earnings or sale of the property.

Long-lived assets— The Company’s assets consist mainly of investments in real property. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s book value exceeds the

 

F-10


Table of Contents

undiscounted expected future cash flows to be derived from that asset. Whenever undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the book value, the asset will be reduced to estimated fair value and an impairment loss will be recognized. During 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $4.1 million associated with the distribution of the Company’s membership interest in G&L Realty Corp., LLC to its common stockholders on June 30, 2005. In 2004, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $8.1 million associated with the senior care spin-off. The Company recorded no impairment loss in 2003.

Financial instruments—The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts. The book value of cash, cash equivalents, tenant rent and other accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s variable rate notes payable as of December 31, 2003 approximate fair value because the interest rates are comparable to rates currently being offered to the Company. The Company had no variable rate notes payable outstanding as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate notes payable as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $147.0 million and $162.8 million, respectively because the interest rates on the Company’s fixed rate notes payable were higher for both 2005 and 2004 than the rates being offered to the Company at that time. The estimated fair values of the Company’s mortgage loans and bonds receivable, are based upon market values of loans and bonds receivable with similar characteristics adjusted for risk inherent in the underlying transactions. Management estimates that the fair value of the Company’s mortgage loans and bonds receivable approximate their amortized cost basis, after adjustment for the allowance for amounts deemed to be uncollectible.

Use of estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Derivative financial instruments—The Company is exposed to the effect of interest rate changes in the normal course of business. Under certain circumstances, the Company mitigates these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures which include the periodic use of derivatives. The Company’s primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the volatility that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company employs derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, including interest rate swaps and caps, to effectively convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

In November 2001, the Company purchased an interest rate cap for $905,000 to protect against an increase in the one month LIBOR rate on a $35 million variable rate loan the Company obtained in October 2001. SFAS 133 requires the Company to record the interest rate cap on the balance sheet at fair value and to record changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap in the statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized a $0.3 million loss on the fair market value of the LIBOR interest rate cap. In October 2003, the Company sold the LIBOR interest rate cap for $0.2 million. During 2004 and 2005, the Company did not enter into any derivative transactions and no derivative instruments were outstanding as of December 31, 2005.

Recent accounting pronouncements— In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments” (SFAS No. 123(R)) which replaces SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. As such, pro forma disclosure in lieu of expensing is no longer an alternative. The new standard is effective in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2005, FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 47 was issued to clarify that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to

 

F-11


Table of Contents

perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred-generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The adoption of this Statement has not had a material impact on our financial statements and no liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2005 with respect to any conditional asset retirement obligations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. Among other changes, SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Abstract No.05-06, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination”, to address issues related to the amortization period of leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or placed in service after and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term. The Task Force reached a consensus that these types of leasehold improvements should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of the acquisition or the date the leasehold improvements are purchased. This consensus does not apply to preexisting leasehold improvements, but should be applied to leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The adoption of this Statement has not had a material impact on our financial statements.

5. Unbilled Rent Receivable

The Company has operating leases with tenants that expire at various dates through 2018. The minimum rents due under these leases are subject to either scheduled fixed increases or adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. Generally accepted accounting principles require that rents due under operating leases with fixed increases be averaged over the life of the lease. This practice, known as “straight-line rents” creates an unbilled rent receivable in any period during which the amount of straight-line rent exceeds the actual rent billed (this occurs primarily at the inception of the lease period). As the lease approaches its expiration date, billed rent will eventually exceed the amount of straight-line rent causing the unbilled rent receivable to decline. The straight-line rent calculation assumes no new or re-negotiated rents or extension periods during the life of the lease and excludes operating cost reimbursements. The following table summarizes future rents due under existing leases and the corresponding straight-line rent calculation as of December 31, 2005:

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Neither the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Senior Care Partnership, the Roxbury Partnership, Valencia, Lyons, Coronado, Tustin II, Tustin III, 405 Bedford, 415 Bedford, 416 Bedford, 435 Bedford, 436 Bedford, Sherman Oaks, Regents, the Unconsolidated Affiliates nor any of the assets within their portfolios of MOBs, parking facilities, and retail space (the “Properties”) is currently a party to any material litigation.

The Company was the guarantor on a $513,602 letter of credit issued by U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) in favor of Fannie Mae c/o Greystone Servicing Corporation under which the Company’s maximum liability is approximately $410,000. In December 1999, the Company purchased $1.3 million of subordinated bonds secured by an apartment complex located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At the time, a letter of credit for $513,602 was issued by the Bank of Oklahoma in favor of the issuer of the subordinated bonds in order to pay the interest payments on the secured debt of the property in the event the cash flow of the property was insufficient to meet such payments. The Company guaranteed $250,000 of this letter of credit. In December 2003, June 2004 and December 2004, the borrower defaulted on the semi-annual interest payment to the holders of the subordinated bonds. In July 2004, the letter of credit issued by the Bank of Oklahoma was called upon and the Company was required to fund the $250,000 that it had guaranteed. Subsequently, a new letter of credit was issued by U.S. Bank. The Company’s partners in this investment are in the process of restructuring the management and operation of the property in order to make it profitable once again. As part of the restructuring, the letter of credit was called upon in March 2005 and the Company was required to make a payment of $410,000. The Company recorded a reserve of $410,000 on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 related to its maximum liability with respect to the letter of credit against which the March 2005 payment was applied.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

On October 29, 2001, the Company completed a merger with G & L Acquisition, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, substantially on the terms provided for in the Agreement of Plan and Merger, dated as of May 10, 2001, as amended, by and between the Company and G & L Acquisition, LLC (the “Merger”). The Company was the survivor in the Merger. G & L Acquisition, LLC was owned by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company. Upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock, other than a portion of the shares held by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, was converted into the right to receive $13.00 in cash, without interest. After completion of the Merger, the Company’s Common Stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

In May 1997, the Company issued 1,495,000 shares of the 10.25% Series A Preferred Stock, from which it received net proceeds of $35.4 million. In November 1997, the Company issued 1,380,000 shares of 9.8% Series B Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of $32.6 million. The Company’s preferred stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund requirements and is not convertible into or exchangeable for any property or other securities of the Company. The Company, at its sole discretion, may call the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at any time. All classes of the Company’s preferred stock have a par value of $0.01 and rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to payment of dividends and upon liquidation. All classes of Preferred Stock are on parity with all other classes of the Company’s Preferred Stock for payment of dividends and liquidation purposes. In the event of liquidation, or if the Company elects to call the Preferred Stock, holders of the Company’s

Table of Contents

Preferred Stock are entitled to receive $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not such dividends have been declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. Holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive monthly dividends at an annual rate of $2.56 per share. Series B Preferred Stockholders are entitled to receive monthly dividends at an annual rate of $2.45 per share.

In September 2004, the Company’s board of directors classified and designated 200,000 authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock as Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Company’s currently outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and 200,000 authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock as Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Company’s currently outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. The board of directors then authorized the exchange of the 90,797 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 102,290 shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, respectively.

On December 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase by the Company of the 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for $4.44 million. The purchase price of $23.00 a share represented a 13% and 9% discount, respectively, to the market price of the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at the time. The Series C and Series D Preferred Stock rank on a parity with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and share pari passu in dividends and at liquidation. The Company completed the repurchase on December 30, 2004.

Distributions in excess of net income— As described in Note 2, the Company has elected to be treated as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income. In 2005, dividends paid to holders of the Company’s preferred stock were considered 80.36% taxable as a long-term capital gain, 16.70% taxable as Section 1250 unrecaptured gain on sale and the remaining 2.94% taxable as ordinary income. In 2004, dividends paid to holders of the Company’s preferred stock were considered a 28.21% return of capital to preferred stockholders, 26.63% taxable as long-term capital gain, 8.99% taxable as Section 1250 unrecaptured gain on sale and the remaining 36.17% taxable as ordinary income. In 2003, dividends paid to holders of the Company’s preferred stock were considered a 94.24% return of capital to preferred stockholders and the remaining 5.76% taxable as Section 1250 unrecaptured gain on sale.

12. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is subject to all risks associated with leasing property, including but not limited to, the risk that upon the expiration of leases for space located in the Company’s properties, the leases may not be renewed, the space may not be re-leased or the terms of renewal or re-leasing (including any cost of required renovations or concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than current lease terms. If the Company is unable to promptly re-lease or renew leases for a significant portion of its space or if the rental rates upon renewal or re-leasing are significantly lower than expected, the Company’s earnings and the ability to make distributions to stockholders may be adversely affected. Most of the tenants in the Company’s healthcare properties provide specialized health care services. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the communities and industry in which the tenants operate. No tenant occupies more than 2% of the Company’s total square footage.

Many of the Company’s medical office properties are in close proximity to one or more local hospitals. Relocation or closure of a local hospital could make the Company’s nearby properties (particularly those outside of the Beverly Hills area) less desirable to doctors and healthcare providers affiliated with the hospital and affect the Company’s ability to collect rent due under existing leases, renew leases and attract new business.

13. Segment Information

Prior to November 1, 2004, the Company’s business consisted of the following segments:

 

    Medical office buildings – As of December 31, 2005, these investments consist of 21 high quality MOBs and one parking facility totaling approximately 742,000 rentable square feet and all located in Southern California. These properties are owned either directly by the Company or indirectly through joint ventures.

 

F-21


Table of Contents
    Skilled nursing facilities – These investments consisted of eight SNFs and one apartment complex. The Company previously held the operating license in three of the eight SNFs. On March 15, 2000, the Company obtained licenses from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to operate the three SNFs owned by the Company in Hampden, Massachusetts. The Company then entered into a management agreement with a third-party company to manage the facility. As a result, from March 15, 2000 through March 31, 2004, all of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of these SNFs were reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the segment information provided below. In February 2004, the manager of these facilities received approval from the Massachusetts Department of Health to obtain the operating licenses for the three facilities from the Company. The manager subsequently entered into lease agreements with the Company for these facilities effective on the date of the license transfers which occurred on April 1, 2004. Subsequent to the transfer of the licenses, licenses, the Company no longer reflects the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the operations of these three SNFs in its consolidated financial statements.

 

    Assisted living facilities – These investments consisted of two ALFs, owned through joint ventures. The two ALFs contain 172 units that are typically occupied by residents who require a less intense level of care in comparison to the SNFs. On September 30, 2004, the ALF owned by Lakeview was sold for $10.6 million.

 

    Debt obligations – These investments initially consisted of short-term secured and unsecured loans made to third parties to facilitate the acquisition of healthcare facilities. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had eight loans outstanding with a net book value of $1.0 million, excluding notes receivable from related parties as discussed in footnote 6.

After the spin-off of the SNF and ALF assets on November 1, 2004, the Company has one reportable segment – MOBs.

The tables on the following pages reconcile the Company’s income and expense activity for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003 and balance sheet data as of December 31, 2004.

14. Related Party Transactions

On October 29, 2001, the Company completed a merger with G & L Acquisition, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, owned by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company. Upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock, other than a portion of the shares held by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, was converted into the right to receive $13.00 in cash, without interest. After completion of the Merger, the Company’s Common Stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

As part of the Merger, the Operating Partnership loaned $5.2 million of the loan proceeds to Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz to fund a $3.5 million tender offer for the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and to repay $1.7 million of personal debt. Each of the $2.6 million loans to Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are for a term of ten years, due on October 31, 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of Libor plus 7.5% and require monthly interest only payments. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz have the option to accrue any and all interest payments, which shall then be added to the principal balance of the notes. For purposes of presentation in these consolidated financial statements, the $5.1 million balance has been reflected on the balance sheet as a deduction to stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2004.

On November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz were then and are today the sole common stockholders of the Company. In total, skilled nursing and assisted living assets having a net equity of $9.0 million, derived from current independent property appraisals less the existing property debt, have been distributed as a dividend to these stockholders. This transaction is described in greater detail in footnote 1 above.

On June 30, 2005, the Company distributed all of its membership interests in G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the management company which provides management services to both the Company and to G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. As part of the distribution of G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Company entered into a management agreement with G&L Realty Corp., LLC. The management agreement called for G&L Realty Corp., LLC to provide management services to the Company in exchange for the reimbursement of the costs associated with such services through the end of 2005. These costs represented approximately 35% of the total overhead costs of G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began paying fees to G&L Realty Corp., LLC based on a schedule of fixed fees as provided for in the management agreement. In addition, the Company, commencing January 1, 2006, began reimbursing G&L Realty Corp., LLC for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the cost of any on-site managers or on-site personnel provided at the request of our Company, but not any home office or general and administrative personnel. G&L Realty Corp., LLC also provides leasing services, but receives no additional compensation with respect to the provision of such services. Historically, the Company has made only limited use of outside brokers to obtain tenants. As a result of the management agreement with G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Company has no employees and has effectively out-sourced all of its day-to-day operating functions.

Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, the Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company, are the majority owners of G&L Realty Corp., LLC and have full control over the decision-making of that company. Thus, the controlling stockholders of the Company will continue to have significant involvement in the management and operations of G&L Realty Corp., LLC.

Prior to the distribution the Company’s interest in of G&L Realty Corp., LLC, the Operating Partnership contributed these assets to G&L Realty Corp., LLC: (i) two promissory notes from Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz totaling $5.1 million, (ii) a $1 million investment in a company specializing in the management and ownership of low cost housing, and (iii) a $2.7 million minority investment as a limited partner in a limited partnership formed by unrelated parties to acquire and develop a vacant parcel of land Northern California. An independent appraisal conducted at the time of the distribution valued G&L Realty Corp., LLC at $4.3 million, as compared to a carrying value of $8.4 million. The excess of the carrying value of the net assets over the fair value in the amount of $4.1 million was recognized as an impairment loss on the Company’s financial statements.

Incident to the distribution, the Company agreed to guarantee or otherwise lend certain funds to the Northern California limited partnership on a secured basis pending the procurement of construction finance by that limited partnership. Loans totaling $4.6 million were made during 2005, accruing interest at 9-10% per annum. These loans were repaid in full February 2006 as a part of the first funding under the limited partnership’s construction finance, and we have no further relationship with or commitments to that limited partnership. In January 2006, the Company loaned an additional $0.6 million to the limited partnership The loans are included under notes receivable from related parties on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and were repaid on February 8, 2006.

During the first two quarters of 2005, general and administrative costs totaling $949,367 were billed to G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC pursuant to the cost sharing agreement between the two companies discussed in Footnote 1 above, which is included in reimbursements from related party. Subsequent to the distribution on June 30, 2005, G&L Realty Corp., LLC now bills the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC for general and administrative expenses in the same ratio as was previously allocated between the two companies. During the third and fourth quarter of 2005, general and administrative costs totaling $730,859 were billed to the Company by G&L Realty Corp., LLC. As of December 31, 2005, the Company owed G&L Realty Corp., LLC $73,738 related to these allocated general and administrative costs. This amount is recorded under accounts payable and other liabilities on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and was paid by the Company to G&L Realty Corp., LLC in January 2006.

During 2005, the Company paid Mr. S. Craig Tompkins, a director of the Company, $400,000 for services provided to the Company, principally $300,000 for his services as lead director in connection with the defense between 2000 and 2004 of certain litigation brought against the Company, the directors and Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz relating to the 2001 merger transaction in which Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz acquired all of the outstanding common stock of the Company which they did not already own. These fees were in addition to the regular fees paid to the members of the Board of Directors.

EX-10.6 2 dex106.htm AGREEMENT BETWEEN G&L REALTY CORP., LLC AND DANIEL M. GOTTLIEB Agreement between G&L Realty Corp., LLC and Daniel M. Gottlieb

EXHIBIT 10.6

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 31st of March, 2005, by and between G&L Realty Corp LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Company”) and Daniel M. Gottlieb (“Executive”) with reference to the following facts

1. Employment and Duties.

(a) The Company hereby employs Executive who will serve as an executive officer of the Company. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is a management company and that, as a part of his duties, he may be requested to serve as an executive officer of (i) the Company’s parent company, G&L Realty Corp, a Maryland corporation (“GLR”), (ii) one or more of GLR’s subsidiaries or affiliates, (iii) G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, (“Senior Care LLC”), and/or any one or more of Senior Care LLC’s subsidiaries or affiliates (the entities referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) above being referred to as the “Client Entities”), and agrees, if so requested, to serve in such capacities.

(b) Executive shall devote a reasonable amount of his working time and his best efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder and to advance the interests of the Company and such one or more of the Client Entities as the Company may direct. Notwithstanding the above, Executive may spend a reasonable amount of time with respect to charitable and civic activities (including serving on the board of directors of charitable organizations) and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement, may make personal investments or conduct private business affairs if such activities do not interfere with the services required of Executive under this Agreement. It is specifically recognized that Executive is the owner of membership units in Senior Care LLC, of limited partnership interests in G&L Realty Partnership, LP and G&L Senior Care Partnership, LP, and of shares in GLR, and that nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent or limit Executive from serving on the management committee and/or board of directors of any one or more such entities or from pursuing his own interests as a member, partner and/or stockholder of such entities.

(c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that he is an employee only of the Company and that he is not an employee of any of the Client Entities to which he may provide services as an employee of the Company, and that he will look exclusively to the Company for the payment of any compensation that may be owed to him with respect to any such services.

2. Compensation.

(a) Annual Base Compensation. The Company shall pay to Executive for any and all services that Executive may render to the Company an annual base compensation of Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000), payable in equal installments on the Company’s regular payroll dates. The Compensation Committee of the Management Committee of the Company shall review Executives annual base compensation after the end of each calendar year commencing with the year ended December 31, 2005 in light of additional responsibilities which may be assumed by Executive, the result of operations and prospects of the Company, the compensation being paid to other persons holding similar positions with comparable companies and such other factors as it deems relevant; provided, however, that no such raise in compensation will be effective unless approved by the Company’s members acting through the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of GLR


(“Member Approval”). Following each such review, and subject to Member Approval, the annual base compensation of Executive may be increased but may not be decreased below its then existing level.

(c) Bonus Compensation. In addition, at the end of each year commencing with the year ended December 31, 2004, Executive, the Management Committee shall review, and may approve, a bonus in such amount as the Management Committee determines to be appropriate considering the efforts expended and the results achieved by the Executive, such bonus to be ordinarily no less than five percent (5%) nor more than one hundred percent (100%) of annual base compensation. Any such bonus, however, unless reimbursed in full by one or more Client Entities, will be subject to Member Approval.

3. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for all usual, reasonable and necessary expenses paid or incurred by Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder in accordance with its policy for executives of the company, provided that such expenses are substantiated by written documentation and in accordance with the Company’s written policies and procedures on reimbursement of expenses as may be established from time to time by the Management Committee.

4. Employee Benefits.

(a) Executive shall be entitled to participate in all medical, dental, life insurance, retirement, profit sharing, stock incentive, disability and all other plans now made available, or which may be made available in the future, to executives of the Company.

(b) Executive shall be entitled to annual vacation in accordance with the Company’s policy for executives as such time.

5. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall have an initial term of three years commencing on the date hereof. This Agreement shall be renewed automatically for succeeding terms of one year each unless either party gives notice to the other at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of any term (including the initial term) of his or its determination not to renew.

6. Termination. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company, on the one hand, or the Executive, on the other hand, as applicable, prior to the expiration of this Agreement, under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death. In the case of Executive’s death, the Company shall pay to Executive’s beneficiaries or estate, as appropriate, promptly after Executive’s death, the unpaid annual base compensation to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 2 through the date of his termination. This subsection 6(a) shall riot limit the entitlement of Executive’s estate or beneficiaries to any death or other benefits then available to Executive under any life insurance or other benefit plan or policy which is maintained by the Company for Executive’s benefit.


(b) Disability.

(i) If the Company determines in good faith that Executive has incurred a Disability (as defined below) during the term of this Agreement, the Company may give Executive written notice of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such notice by Executive, provided that within the thirty (30) days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of his duties. Executive shall continue to receive his annual base compensation and benefits until the date of termination. In the case of Executive’s Disability, the Company shall pay to Executive promptly after the Executive’s termination, the unpaid annual base compensation to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 2 through the Executive’s termination. This subsection 6(b) shall not limit the entitlement of Executive or his estate or beneficiaries to any disability or other benefits then available to Executive under any disability insurance or other benefit plan or policy which is maintained by the Company for Executive’s benefit.

(ii) For the purpose of this Section, “Disability” shall mean Executive’s failure to perform his duties to the Company on a full-time basis for a total of 12 consecutive weeks during any 12-month period as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company and acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably).

(c) Cause.

(i) The Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause (as defined below). In the case of the Executive’s termination for cause, the Company shall promptly pay to the Executive (or his representative) the unpaid annual base compensation to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 2 through the date the Executive is terminated and the Executive shall be entitled to no other compensation.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder shall exist upon a finding by the Management Committee of the Company that Executive has (i) engaged in acts or omissions with respect to the Company or any one or more of the Client Entities which constitute intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (2) engaged in gross negligence in the performance of his duties; or (3) frequently and repeatedly failed to perform services which have been reasonably requested of him by the Management Committee and which are consistent with the terms of the Agreement; provided, however, that “Cause” shall not exist unless and until the Company provides Executive with (a) at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of its intention to terminate his employment for Cause and a written statement describing the nature of the Cause, and (b) a reasonable opportunity and a reasonable period of time to cure any curable acts or omissions on which the finding of cause is based. If the Executive cures the acts or omissions on which the finding of Cause is based, the Company shall not have Cause to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder.

(d) Good Reason.

(i) The Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason (as defined below). In the event that the Executive terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to Executive promptly after the Executive’s termination, the unpaid annual base compensation to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 2 through Executive’s termination. In addition, the Company shall pay the Executive separation pay as set forth in Section 7 and provide the additional benefits set forth in Section 7.


(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall have “Good Reason” to terminate his employment with the Company in the event of (a) any breach by the Company of, or default by the Company under, the provisions of the Agreement which Executive in good faith regards as material; provided, however, that in the case of any curable non-monetary breach of default, Executive shall not have Good Reason to terminate his employment unless and until he has provided the Company with written notice of such breach at least fifteen (15) days in advance of his intended termination date and a reasonable period of time to cure such breach ox default; or (b) any substantial diminution of duties or status, or other imposition by the Company of unreasonable requirements or working conditions on Executive which are not withdrawn or corrected within a thirty (30) day period following notice by Executive to the Company of such diminution or imposition.

(e) Without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause upon ninety (90) days written notice. In the event the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, the Company shall pay to Executive promptly after Executive’s termination, the unpaid annual base compensation to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 2 through the Executive’s termination. In addition, the Company shall pay the Executive separation pay as set forth in Section 7 and provide the additional benefits set forth in Section 7.

7. Separation Pay. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive aggregate severance payments equal to three times (3X) his annual base compensation at such time. Such aggregate separation payments shall be paid in cash upon the termination of Executive’s employment. In addition, if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason and Executive is no longer eligible for employee benefits because of such termination, Executive shall be entitled, and the Company shall provide, benefits substantially equivalent to those benefits in the nature of health and welfare benefits to which Executive was entitled immediately prior to such termination for the remainder of the term of this Agreement under Section 5 hereof but only to the extent that Executive is not entitled to comparable benefits from another employer or provider and subject to any express limitations in any applicable plan.

8. Restrictive Covenant.

(a) Employee hereby agrees that for a period of one (1) year from an employment termination, he shall not, directly or indirectly, induce or recruit any employee of the Company to apply for or accept employment with any other person or entity.

(b) Executive hereby agrees that both during the term of his employment and for a period of three (3) years after an employment termination, he will not reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information for any purpose except in the ordinary course of the business of the Company. For purposes of this Section 8, the term “Confidential Information” shall include all information and strategies of the Company and/or any one or more Client Entities, records, data, and any and all other confidential or proprietary information and trade secrets of the Company and/or any one or more Client Entities.


(c) While Executive is employed by the Company, without the prior approval of the Management Committee, Executive may not, directly or indirectly, own, operate, control or otherwise invest or participate or engage in (either as principal, agent, employee, employer, consultant, stockholder, partner, or in any other individual representative capacity) any other business that is in competition with the business of the Company or of any one or more of the Client Entities, except for ownership (without any other involvement) of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly-owned company. If such prior approval of a majority of the Management Committee of the Company is obtained, Executive may engage in the activities consented to and in so doing shall incur no liability to the Company or to any one or more of the Client Entities.

(d) if, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce one or more of the separate covenants referred to in this Section 8, (i) because the time limit therein is too long, it is expressly understood and agreed that for the purpose of such proceeding such time limitations shall be deemed reduced by the minimum amount necessary to permit the enforcement of such covenant or covenants; or (ii) because, taken together, they are more extensive (whether as to geographic area, scope of business, or otherwise) than necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the Company, or otherwise, it is expressly understood and agreed that such of those covenants which, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof.

(e) The covenants contained in this Section 8 are cumulative of the rights of the Company (or any successor thereto) under the laws of the State of California, the United States of America and other applicable laws with respect to the rights to protect Confidential information.

(f) Executive hereby agrees that the remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants Contained in this Section 8 will be inadequate and that the company, the Company (or any successor thereto) shall be entitled to equitable relief including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief.

(g) Nothing in this Section 8 shall be interpreted as in any way limiting Executive’s right to exercise his rights as a shareholder of GLR, as a partner of either G&L Realty Partnership, LP or G&L Senior Care Partnership, LP, or as a member of Senior Care, LLC, or as a director, managing director or management committee members of any of the above entities or any of their respective subsidiaries.

9. Waiver or modification. Any waiver, alteration or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement or cancellation or replacement of this Agreement shall not be valid unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

10. Construction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

11. Hinging Effect: Entire Agreement.

11. 1 The rights and obligations of the Company and Executive under this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Company and Executive.


11.2 This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, amendments, memoranda or understandings between the Company and Executive.

12. No Mitigation of Damages. Executive shall have no duty to seek other employment to mitigate damages in connection with a termination of Executive’s employment, and any income earned by Executive shall not offset any obligations of the company to Executive under this Agreement.

13. Assignment. Executive may not assign his duties under this Agreement.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be construed as an original for all purposes, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

15. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person, sent by facsimile or by registered or certified United States mail, postage and fees prepaid, to the addresses of the parties set forth below, or such other address or facsimile number as shall be furnished by notice hereunder by any such party.

Manager will, however, keep the Board of GLR reasonably informed as to the scope and extent of such competitive or potentially competitive activities.

Such amounts shall be funded by GLR monthly in arrears, as billed by Manager in accordance with this Agreement. All payments shall be made not less than thirty (30) days of billing. Notwithstanding the above, Manager may elect to maintain cash reserves so as to have at all times not less than one nor more than three months working capital available to it, in which case the amounts needed to fund such working capital reserve shall be paid by GLR and Senior Care Properties within thirty (30) days of demand by Manager, such amounts to be funded in proportion to the allocation ratios of GLR and Senior Care Properties then in effect. Any amounts not timely paid will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, which ever is less, until paid.

 

5


  5.2 Post Transition Period Fee Structure. Following the Effective Date, the parties will meet and negotiate in good faith a revised fee structure, such fee structure to be effective for periods following the Transition Period. This revised fee structure will be based upon the format set out in clauses 5.2.1 through 5.2.5.

 

  5.2.1 For Property Management Services: A fee equal to 6% of the gross receipts from the properties managed.

 

  5.2.2 For Property Development Services: A fee equal to 1% of the hard and soft costs of the project (calculated exclusive of land costs).

  5.2.4 General and Administrative Expenses: The Company and Manager will meet and confer not later than September 30 of each year with the intent to establish a general and administrative budget for the following year. In the event that no agreement can be reached, the budget for the prior year will be used, adjusted for inflation.

 

  5.3 Reimbursement of Expenses. After the initial period, GLR will reimburse the Manager for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the cost of any on-site managers or on-site personnel provided at the request of GLR, but not any home office or general and administrative personnel.

Not later than September 30 of each year, beginning September 30, 2005, the Manager and GLR will meet and confer in order to determine the projected working capital budget and capital improvements budget for the following year, commencing as of January 1st of each such year.

  5.6 Fee Cap. The right of Manager to receive any compensation for its services under this Agreement other than such funds as are necessary to cover its actual costs of providing such services, shall be subordinate to the rights of the holders of the GLR Preferred Stock.

6. Ancillary Tenant Services. It is acknowledged and agreed that Manager may provide, as an amenity to GLR’s tenants, a range of ancillary services and/or products of the type which, if provided by a REIT would produce non-qualified income, and that the GLR will have no participation in such income. The provision of such services will be subject to the approval of GLR, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, so long as the Manger (i) clearly discloses to the tenants to whom it offers such ancillary services and products that it is an entity separate and distinct from GLR and that GLR does not endorse or guarantee such services or products and (ii) indemnifies GLR against any and all liabilities with respect to the offering and/or provision of such ancillary services or products.

7. Indemnity: Insurance: and Limitations on Liability.

 

  7.1. Indemnity. GLR will indemnify Manager against any liability to third parties resulting from the performance by Manager of its duties under this Agreement, except to the extent that such liability is ultimately determined to be the direct result of the gross negligence or criminal misconduct of the Manager or bad faith breach of this Agreement by Manager. Manager will indemnify GLR against any liability to third parties resulting from the gross negligence or criminal misconduct of Manager or breach by Manager of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, in the last listed case, such breach was the result of conduct other than action take or omitted in the good faith belief that such act or omission was consistent with Manager’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and otherwise in the best interests of GLR. GLR will advance all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Manager in connection with the defense and investigation or any third party claim, pending final judicial resolution of liability.

 

  7.2. Insurance. GLR and Manager will work together to maintain in place a comprehensive regime of casualty and liability insurance, naming each of GLR and Manager as named insureds with waivers of subrogation. The cost of such insurance shall be an expense of GLR, except to the extent such insurance also covers Senior Care Properties and/or any one or more of its affiliates, in which case the cost of such insurance will be allocated between GLR and Senior Care Properties and such one or more affiliates on a mutually agreeable basis.

 

  7.3. Limitations on Liability. In no event will Manager be liable to GLR except for its gross negligence, criminal misconduct or breach of this Agreement; provided, in the last listed case, such breach was the result of conduct other than action take or omitted in the good faith belief that such act or omission

 

7


was consistent with Manager’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and otherwise in the best interests of GLR. GLR hereby waives any claim against or right of recovery against GLR, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. In no event will GLR have any claim, and hereby waives any claim that it might in the future otherwise have, and agrees not to sue, any officer, director, manager, employee, or affiliate of Manager based on conduct or omission by such individual when acting in his or her capacity as an officer, director, manager, employee, or affiliate of Manager. GLR acknowledges that Manager is a limited liability company, and agrees that it will look solely to Manager with respect to any future claim that GLR might have against Manager under this Agreement and/or with respect to the services provided by Manager under this Agreement, and that in no event will it bring suit against any member (or former member) of Manager with respect to any such claim, whether based upon assertions or alter ego, piercing the corporate veil, fraudulent conveyance or any other legal or equitable theory.

8. Accounting Books and Records. The accounting books and records of the Manager shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis, and shall be audited annually by an independent accounting firm selected by Manager, but subject to the approval of GLR, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Initially, the auditing firm will be the same firm as audits the accounts of GLR. The cost of any such audit during the Interim Period shall be treated as an operating cost of the Manager, to be allocated between GLR and Senior Care Properties and its affiliates like any other operating cost of the Manager. Thereafter, the cost of such audit will be a cost of Manager.

9. Dispute Resolution.

9.1 If a dispute arises regarding the interpretation of, arising out of, or related to this Agreement that cannot be resolved through informal means, the parties hereto shall submit such dispute to mediation in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association if they can agree to do so, otherwise to formal arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that if the parties begin in mediation, any party to the dispute may require arbitration at any time upon written notice in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules.

9.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by a single agreed upon arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then each party shall select one arbitrator who shall select a third arbitrator. Any arbitrations shall be held in Clark County, Nevada, or at such other location as the parties may mutually agree. Without limitation of their general authority, the arbitrators shall have the right to order reasonable discovery in accordance with the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure. The final decision of the arbitrators shall be binding and enforceable without

 

8


further legal proceedings in court or otherwise; provided, however, that any party may enter judgment upon the award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The final decision arising from arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion and decision, which shall describe the rationale underlying the award and shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law.

9.3 All parties shall have a duty to participate in mediation or arbitration proceedings in good faith and to pursue the same in a timely manner.

9.4 Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9, the requirement to mediate or arbitrate disputes shall not apply to any action for equitable relief with respect to this Agreement or any matter it contemplates. The forum for any such action shall be the appropriate court in Clark County, Nevada, and all Parties agree to both subject matter and in personam jurisdiction in that forum for such purpose.

9.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.5, the parties consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court in Clark County, Nevada, for the entry and enforcement of any judgment upon any arbitration award rendered, and all parties agree to both subject matter and in personam jurisdiction for such purposes.

EXHIBIT 10.89

NOTE DIVIDEND AGREEMENT

This NOTE DIVIDEND AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of this 30th day of March, 2005, by and between Daniel Gottlieb, Steven Lebowitz (each, a “Common Stockholder” and collectively and together with their successors, assigns or other transferees, the “Common Stockholders”) on the one hand, and G&L Realty Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), on the other hand.

Recitals

 

a. The Company has filed an election under Section 856(c)(l) of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) to be treated as a “real estate investment trust” (“REIT”) for income tax purposes.

 

b. The IRC imposes numerous requirements that the Company must meet in order to retain its status as a REIT. The Company’s preservation of REIT status is desirable from a tax standpoint to all stockholders.

 

c. The Company has outstanding a single class of common stock with equal rights (the “Common Stock”). The Common Stockholders are the sole stockholders of the Common Stock. The Common Stockholders control the voting with respect to the Company.

 

d. The Company currently has outstanding two series of preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) that are widely held and are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The currently outstanding Preferred Shares are collectively entitled to a liquidation preference of $67,047,825. As used in this Agreement the term “Liquidation Preference” will mean the aggregate liquidation preference (i) of such shares of the Company’s Preferred Shares as may be outstanding from time to time in the future, which may be a number of Preferred Shares greater than, equal to or less than the number of Preferred Shares currently outstanding, and (ii) of such shares of any new or additional series or classes of preferred stock which may be issued in the future by the Company from time to time.

 

e. The Company owns numerous assets (“Assets”) that are encumbered by substantial debt and that are currently believed to have total value in excess of total basis, which would result in recognition of gain upon a taxable disposition of the Assets.

 

f. In order to assure that the Company will be able to satisfy the Liquidation Preference in the event of a taxable sale of its properties and to preserve the Company’s REIT status, the Common Stockholders are willing to agree in certain circumstances and upon certain terms and conditions specified in this Agreement to cause the Company to declare and pay a dividend to the Common Stockholders by promissory note and, in connection with any such promissory note dividend, to agree to make capital contributions to the Company to provide the Company with sufficient funds to pay off any such promissory note dividend.

 

Page 1 of 1


NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Common Stockholders and the Company agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Cause Company to Satisfy Liquidation Preference in Cash and to Pay Note Dividend and Make Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) The Common Stockholders agree that upon the occurrence of a “Triggering Event” (as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement), they shall cause the Company to first satisfy (or make adequate provision for) the Liquidation Preference, to satisfy (or make adequate provision for the satisfaction as they become due) of all other debts, obligations and other liabilities of the Company, and then to declare a dividend to the Common Stockholders in cash and, to the extent necessary, by promissory notes (a “Note Dividend”) through the issuance of a promissory note (the “Dividend Promissory Note”) in the “Zero Out Amount” (as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement). The Note Dividend shall be payable to the Common Stockholders in proportion to their ownership of the Common Stock at the time of its declaration, and in the event that there is more than one Common Stockholder, then separate Dividend Promissory Notes shall be issued to each Common Stockholder in that principal amount equal to each such Common Stockholder’s proportionate interest in such Note Dividend. In connection with the declaration of any such Note Dividend, the Common Stockholders shall be obligated to make additional capital contributions to the Company in accordance with Paragraph l(c) of this Agreement (the “Capital Contribution Obligation”). The Capital Contribution Obligation shall be in proportion to the Common Stockholders’ ownership of the Common Stock at the time of the declaration of the Note Dividend. The declaration of the Note Dividend shall be authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit “A” of this Agreement. The determination of whether adequate provision has been made will be made by the independent directors (as such term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange, the “Independent Directors”) of the Company.

(b) The Dividend Promissory Note shall be substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit “B” of this Agreement, and shall: (i) be payable upon demand of any holder, within ninety (90) days of any such demand; (ii) provide for a rate of interest equal to the “Applicable Federal Rate” in accordance with IRC §§ 1274(d) and 7782 for the time of its issuance; (iii) provide for semi-annual interest payments; (iv) have a maturity date five (5) years after issuance, absent earlier demand; (v) provide for a right, upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice by the Company of partial prepayment from time to time or full prepayment at any time without penalty; (vi) be non-amortizing and subject to repayment of the principal amount at maturity (or earlier exercise of any demand or prepayment right specified in this Agreement) only; (vii) be subordinate to any and all other debts, obligations and other liabilities of the Company, whether then existing or subsequently arising, (viii) be non-transferable except with the written approval of the Independent Directors or, upon the death of any Common Stockholder, the heirs of such Common Stockholder, and (ix) be subject to offset in the amount of any debt, obligation or other liability owed by any holder of such Dividend Promissory Note,

 

Page 2 of 2


including, without limitation, such Common Stockholder’s proportionate Capital Contribution Obligation. Any purchaser, assignee or transferee of any Dividend Promissory Note, whether or not permitted by this Agreement or applicable law, will take and hold his, her or its interest in such Dividend Promissory Note subject to this right of the Company to offset the Capital Contribution Obligation of the initial holder of such Dividend Promissory Note.

(c) The Capital Contribution Obligation shall provide for contribution of cash by the Common Stockholders no later than the last day of the month preceding the month in which interest and/or principal payments are due on the Dividend Promissory Note (either due to maturity or earlier exercise of any demand or prepayment right specified in this Agreement).

(d) No sale, assignment or other transfer of Common Shares by any holder of any Dividend Promissory Note will relieve such person from liability for such person’s Capital Contribution Obligation.

2. Conditions Under Which Note Dividend Shall Be Declared and Capital Contribution Obligation Triggered.

(a) The Common Stockholders agree that if a “Triggering Event” occurs on or before the “Triggering Event Deadline Date,” they shall cause the Company to declare and pay a Note Dividend to the Common Stockholders in the “Zero-Out Amount.” The “Triggering Event Deadline Date” shall be the earlier of the following:

(i) the date of the final dissolution and liquidation of the Company, such that all of the debts, obligations and other liabilities of the Company have been satisfied or adequately provided for under applicable law so as to relieve the directors and common stockholders of the Company of any further liability or obligation with respect to such debt, obligations and other liabilities;

(ii) the first anniversary of the date on which all of the equity interests of the Company entitled to a Liquidation Preference have been retired; and

(iii) the date on which the Independent Directors, by majority vote of such Independent Directors, adopt a resolution terminating the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) In connection with the declaration of any Note Dividend under this Agreement, the Company shall designate the Note Dividend to be a “capital gain dividend” in accordance with IRC 857(b)(3)(C), to the fullest extent possible to reflect “net capital gain” recognized by the Company in the taxable year in which a Triggering Event occurs.

(c) A “Triggering Event” is a sale, exchange, disposition, transfer or other transaction involving the Assets that is treated for United States federal income tax purposes as giving rise to currently recognized taxable gain to the Company (a “Taxable Disposition”) in such amount that, absent the declaration of Note Dividend, under then applicable federal and state income tax rules, the Company would have insufficient cash, cash equivalents or other Assets that can be readily reduced to cash (i) to satisfy the Liquidation Preference (the

 

Page 3 of 3


“Liquidation Preference Test”), to satisfy, in the reasonable opinion of the Independent Directors all of the Company’s other debts, obligations and liabilities as they become due (the “Creditor Test”), and (iii) to distribute to stockholders 100% of any taxable income with respect to the year in which such sale, exchange, disposition, transfer or other transaction involving the Assets Occurs (the “Distribution Test”).

(d) The “Zero-Out Amount” is an amount of a Note Dividend that, together with Company cash that is available for distribution to the Common Stockholders after satisfaction of the Liquidation Preference and any and all other debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company (“Cash Available for Distribution to Common Stockholders”), would result in zero federal and state tax liability to the Company with respect to the Taxable Disposition upon payment of such Note Dividend and cash dividend from Cash Available for Distribution to Common Stockholders.

(e) The terms “Triggering Event” and “Zero-Out Amount” are illustrated by the following purely hypothetical example:

Example 1: (i) the Assets have a gross value, excluding debt, of $120 million; (ii) the Company has liabilities of $40 million; (iii) the Company’s basis in the Assets is zero; (iv) the Company sells all of the Assets for a purchase price of $120 million which includes $80 million in cash and the buyer’s assumption of all of the Company’s liabilities of $40 million; (v) the Company currently recognizes taxable gain on such sale of $120 million; (vi) the Liquidation Preference at such time is $67 million; (vii) all other debts, obligations and other liabilities of the Company are reasonably estimated by the Independent Directors at $5 million, and (vii) under then current law in order to avoid taxation at the Company level, it is necessary to distribute $120 million. There is a Triggering Event because even though the Company would have sufficient cash to satisfy the Liquidation Preference Test and the Creditor Test, it would still have insufficient cash to meet the Distribution Test. The Zero-Out Amount would be $45 million, such amount being the difference between the $120 million in taxable income and the $40 million in debt assumed by the buyer and the $5 million reserved to pay third party creditors. In connection with such Note Dividend, the Common Stockholders would likewise have a Capital Contribution Obligation of $45 million.

3. Limitations / Conditions. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the Common Stockholders’ obligations under this Agreement are subject to these limitations and conditions:

(a) This Agreement shall apply only as long as the Company maintains REIT status, without regard to the declaration of a Note Dividend hereunder. If the Company’s status as a REIT is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated at any time other than due to a dissolution of the Company or transfer of substantially all of the Company’s Assets or in connection with the Company’s obligation to pay out as dividends a percentage of its taxable income under IRC 857(a), this Agreement shall terminate at the time of such termination of REIT status and all obligations hereunder shall cease. If the Company’s REIT status is retroactively terminated by the IRS after a declaration of a Note Dividend hereunder, the Common Stockholders may freely

 

Page 4 of 4


seek to revoke, rescind or otherwise undo such prior declaration of a Note Dividend, without any liability to the Company under this Agreement, and the Company shall reasonably assist the Common Stockholders, if and as requested by the Common Stockholders, with respect to any relief sought. Notwithstanding the above, the Common Stockholders agree to take all steps reasonably necessary or otherwise prudent to preserve the REIT status of the Company and not to take any act or acts which would place the Company’s REIT status at risk absent the prior written approval of the Independent Directors. This obligation will survive any termination of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified in writing by the Independent Directors.

(b) This Agreement shall not be construed to prevent the Board of Directors from declaring a Note Dividend in an amount larger than the Zero-Out Amount with respect to a Triggering Event or in any way to affect the rights of the Board of Directors with respect to the Declaration of Dividends.

(c) Except as expressly provided, this Agreement shall not be construed to restrict or obligate the Common Stockholders or the Company in any way with respect to the Common Stockholders’ the Company’s entry or non-entry into any particular transaction or the form of any particular transaction, including, without limitation, any requirement to enter into a Taxable Disposition.

(d) This Agreement shall be binding upon any buyer, assignee or transferee of all or any portion of the Common Stock, in accordance with its terms. Each Common Stockholder agrees (i) to give not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the Independent Directors of any proposed sales, assignment or other transfer, (ii) to provide to any proposed buyer, assignee or transferee a copy of this agreement, (iii) in connection with any such sale, assignment or transfer to receive the written acknowledgement of the buyer, assignee or transferee of the terms of this Agreement and agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as though an original signatory of this Agreement and (iv) upon the request of the Independent Directors, to surrender his, her or its share certificates so that an appropriate legend reflecting the existence of this Agreement may be placed upon such share certificates.

(e) All duties and obligation of the members of the Board of Directors and the Company under this Agreement are expressly subject to the due and faithful performance by the Directors of their fiduciary duties as directors of the Company under applicable law. The Common Stockholders expressly waive any claim that they might now or in the future have with respect to action or inaction taken by any one or more directors under or with respect to this Agreement and or under or with respect to any Dividend Promissory Note, if taken by such director or directors in the good faith belief that such action or inaction was in accordance with such fiduciary duties.

4. Miscellaneous.

(a) The failure of any party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights.

 

Page 5 of 5


(b) No changes or modifications or waivers to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by all of the parties.

(c) In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

(d) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof; provided, however, that in determining the obligations of directors, the propriety of the making of dividends and/or of any other distributions to stockholders and/or any other matter of internal corporate law, the laws of the State of incorporation of the Company at the time of such action or inaction on the part of any one or more directors, and/or the making dividends and/or of any other distributions to stockholders, or the occurrence of the matter then under review shall control.

(e) Headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect interpretation of the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is executed as of the date first set forth above.

EX-14 6 dex14.htm CODE OF ETHICS Code of Ethics

Exhibit 14

Set forth below is our Company’s Code of Ethics as adopted by our Board of Directors.

Introduction

We, the Board of Directors of G&L Realty Corp. (“G&L”), have always believed that honesty and ethical conduct are important to achieving satisfactory business results and that illegal or unethical conduct on the part of our directors, officers or employees is not in G&L’s best interest. Accordingly, we have always acted with an implicit code of business conduct and ethics reflecting the foregoing beliefs and with the interests of the stockholders being paramount.

As a result of recent events involving allegations of misdeeds by corporate executives, independent auditors and other market participants, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange have determined that public companies must adopt a written code of business conduct and ethics that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

    Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

    Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in the various reports and documents that G&L files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in G&L’s other public communications;

 

    Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

    The prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons as identified in this Code of violations of this Code; and

 

    Accountability for adherence to this Code.

Accordingly, we have adopted this Code, effective as of this 21st day of March, 2006, in order to provide guidance for and a structure and mechanism pursuant to which to accomplish these intentions. This Code of Conduct takes into account the fact that all of the Common Stock of G&L is owned by our Controlling Shareholders (as such term is defined herein), and the determination of our Board of Directors, that other than those transactions which pose a threat to the holders of our preferred stock, our Controlling Shareholders should be granted broad leeway and discretion in determining what is and what is not a conflict of interest and whether a transaction involving an actual or potential conflict of interest should be approved.

As used in this Code:

 

    the term “Company” is intended to refer to and to encompass both G&L and all of its various subsidiaries;

 

    the term “Company Personnel” is intended to refer to all of the directors, officers and employees of G&L and, in addition, any Senior Executive Officer or Senior Financial Officer;

 

    the term “Conflicts Committee” means the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of G&L.


    the term “Controlling Shareholders” means Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz.

 

    the term “Senior Executive Officer” is intended to include our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and each executive vice president of G&L, or any other person performing a similar function, regardless of title and any senior operating officer of the Company as may be designated by resolution of the G&L Board of Directors from time-to-time;

 

    the term “Senior Financial Officer” is intended to include our chief financial officer, controller(s), principal accounting officer and any other person performing a similar function, regardless of title and any other financial or accounting officer of the Company as may be designated by resolution of the G&L Board of Directors form time to time.

1. Avoidance of Conflicts of Interests

Officers, directors, and employees of the Company should never allow their personal interests to interfere with the interests of our Company as a whole and should avoid situations where their personal interests conflict or potentially conflict with the interests of the Company or its affiliates. Officers, directors and employees must be particularly careful to avoid representing the Company in any transaction with others with whom there is any outside business affiliation or relationship.

Following disclosure, conflict of interest transactions will only be permitted if approved in accordance with this Code. The Board of Directors maintains a standing Conflicts Committee specifically to review transactions that may involve conflicts of interest between our Company and our stockholders, directors, Chief Executive Officer, Senior Financial Officers and/or Senior Executive Officers.

A conflict of interest may be approved or waived (i) in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Financial Officers and Senior Executive Officers only by the Board of Directors, acting either by majority vote at a meeting or by unanimous written consent, and (ii) in the case of any other Company Employee, by our Chief Executive Officer, or Chief Financial Officer or such one or more other Senior Executive Officers as our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer may from time to time designate.

In recognition of the fact that conflicts of interest may occur from time to time in the normal course of business, and that transactions or business relationships that involve conflicts of interest may from time to time be in the best interests of the Company, the approval or granting of consents to conflicts of interest in the ordinary course of business will not be deemed to constitute “waivers” of the provisions of this Code. Also, in the case of transactions done or goods or services provided pursuant to an agreement or arrangement approved as provide in this Code, it shall not be required that individual transactions, or individual instances where goods or services are provided under such agreement or arrangement be separately approved, so long as such activities are consistent with such approved agreement or arrangement. It shall not be deemed to be a conflict of interest for purposes of this code for a director, or any one or more affiliates of a director, to provide goods or services to the Company so long as the agreements or arrangement pursuant to which such goods or services are being provided has been disclosed to the Board of Directors and approved by the Controlling Shareholders.

2. Public Disclosure of Information Required by the Securities Laws

Officers, directors and employees will seek to report all information accurately and honestly, and as otherwise required by applicable reporting requirements.

3. Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations

You must endeavor to respect and obey, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States and of the various jurisdictions in which we operate. In particular, you must never knowingly violate federal securities laws, rules and regulations.

We know and appreciate that it is sometimes difficult to understand or determine whether a particular act or omission is or is not in violation of applicable law. Also, we know and appreciate that it may not be possible or practical to be in 100% compliance with all of the various laws and regulations that may impact upon our business from time to time and that it is unlikely that any business enterprise could ever represent that it was at any given time in 100% compliance with all of the various laws and regulations that might be applicable to it. For example, it is not intended that ordinary course traffic or parking violations, or failures to correct minor or immaterial violations of zoning laws, building codes, or permit requirements, or failure to timely file ministerial type governmental reports (where the failure to file such report is not likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company) should be treated as violations of this Code.

4. Compliance Procedures; Reporting Misconduct or Other Ethical Violations

You should promptly report any unethical, dishonest or illegal behavior, or any other behavior that you believe in good faith to be in violation of this Code or of any other Company policies and procedures, to your supervisor. If you have any doubt about whether your conduct or that of any other person violates this Code or compromises our Company’s reputation, please discuss the issue with your supervisor. Alternatively, if you are for any reason uncomfortable with discussing such matter with your supervisor, or if you are not satisfied with their responses to such information as you may have brought to their attention, then you should communicate such information directly to the Board of Directors, or any Controlling Shareholder, or, in the event that such conduct involves a Director or Controlling Shareholder, to the Chairman of the Company, Conflicts Committee.

5. Enforcement of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Any intentional violation of this Code by any Company Personnel will be subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination of employment. The degree of discipline imposed may be influenced by, among other things, (i) the severity of the violation, (ii) the extent of the risk of potential loss to the Company likely to result from such violation, (iii) whether the person involved (a) acted with the intention of violating this Code, (b) voluntarily disclosed the violation to us or to persons he or she reasonably believed to be the appropriate officers of our Company to whom to make such disclosure, and (c) cooperated with us in any

subsequent investigation or corrective action, (iv) whether the person acted in the good faith belief that his or her actions were in accordance with this code and/or in the best interests of the Company and (v) whether the violation was a first time violation or part of a pattern of ongoing or repeated violations of the Code.

In the case of any violation of this Code by any Company Personnel other than a Controlling Shareholder, a G&L Director, our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer or any Senior Executive Officer, the matter of investigation and discipline will be the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer and his or her designees. In the case of any violation or alleged violation of this Code by any a G&L Director, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or any Senior Executive Officer, such matter of investigation and discipline will be the responsibility of the G&L Board of Directors. In the case of any violation or alleged violation of this Code by a Controlling Shareholder, such matter of investigation and discipline will be the responsibility of the Conflicts Committee; provided, however, that except in the case of matters involving the violation or alleged violation of Federal Securities Laws and/or conflicts of interest that would be materially deleterious to the interests of the holders of our preferred stock, the decision of the Conflicts Committee may be overruled by the unanimous action of the Controlling Shareholders. In dealing with violations of this Code, the Board of Directors will be influenced and guided by how the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange handles such violations.

6. Miscellaneous Provisions

6.1 No Third Party Beneficiaries. It is our intention that this Code constitute and provide a structure and mechanism for the internal control of our Company’s business and affairs, in accordance with our intention that our Company’s business be conducted in an honest and ethical manner. It is not our intention that this Code be used by or relied upon by persons other than our Company as a source for imposing liability or responsibilities upon our Company, you or any of your fellow Company Personnel above and beyond that already imposed by existing law. Accordingly, it is our intention that there be no third party beneficiaries to this Code and that no person other than our Company, acting through us, the G&L Board of Directors, have any standing, derivatively or otherwise, to assert that any person has violated this Code or that our Company or any other person has suffered damage as a result of any such alleged violation of this Code or to collect damages based upon the violation of this Code or to otherwise seek enforcement of this Code.

6.2 Protections Afforded by Law. Furthermore, this Code is not intended to override or negate any of the protections afforded to Company Personnel under the laws of the various jurisdictions in which we do business (including, by way of example and not limitation, the provisions of Maryland Law and the Articles of Incorporation of G&L) or any existing indemnity agreements or future indemnity agreements that may be approved by our common stockholders.
