LOANS RECEIVABLE AND INVESTMENTS

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $442.1 million and $414.7 million, respectively, of net loans receivable and investments relating to seniors housing and healthcare operators or properties.

In January 2014, we purchased $25.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured corporate bonds maturing in 2022. The investment is a marketable debt security classified as available-for-sale and included within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2014, the investment had a cost basis and fair value of $25.0 million and $26.2 million, respectively.

We own an interest in a government-sponsored pooled loan investment that matures in 2023. The investment is a marketable debt security classified as available-for-sale and included within secured loans receivable and investments, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2014, the investment had an amortized cost basis and fair value of $22.0 million and $21.9 million, respectively.

In 2013, we sold portions of a $375.0 million secured loan receivable to third parties in separate transactions, as evidenced by separate notes. As of March 31, 2014, we have a $179.5 million remaining investment in this loan receivable, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.4% per annum. Under the terms of the loan agreement, we act as the administrative agent and will continue to receive the stated interest rate on our remaining loan receivable balance.
