The purpose of the joint venture is to acquire and develop assisted living, independent living and skilled nursing facilities. We manage and own 25% of the joint venture, which will fund its investments with approximately 40% equity contributions and 60% debt. The original approved investment target was $475.0 million, but we exceeded that amount in 2007, and the total potential investment amount has been increased to $975.0 million. The financial statements of the joint venture are not consolidated in our financial statements as our joint venture partner has substantive participating rights, and accordingly our investment is accounted for using the equity method. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">At March 31, 2010, the joint venture owned 19 assisted and independent living facilities, 14 skilled nursing facilities and one continuing care retirement community located in nine states. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-left: .25in; width: 7.20in"> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">During January 2008, the joint venture entered into an interest rate swap contract that is designated as effectively hedging the variability of expected cash flows related to variable rate debt placed on a portion of its portfolio. The cash flow hedge has a fixed rate of 4.235%, a notional amount of $126.1 million and expires on January 1, 2015. The fair value of this contract at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $9.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities on the joint venture’s balance sheet. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Cash distributions from the joint venture are made in accordance with the members’ ownership interests until specified returns are achieved. As the specified returns are achieved, we will receive an increasing percentage of the cash distributions from the joint venture. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we received distributions of $0.7 million from the joint venture. In addition to our share of the income, we receive a monthly management fee calculated as a percentage of the equity investment in the joint venture. This fee is included in our income from unconsolidated joint ventures and in the general and administrative expenses on the joint venture’s income statement. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we earned management fees of $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, our share of the net income was $0.2 million. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-left: 1%"><i>PMB Real Estate Services LLC</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In February 2008, we entered into an agreement with Pacific Medical Buildings LLC to acquire a 50% interest in PMBRES, a full service property management company. The transaction closed on April 1, 2008. In consideration for the 50% interest, we paid $1.0 million at closing, and we will make additional payments on or before March 31, 2010 and 2011 equal to six times the normalized net operating profit of PMBRES for 2009 and 2010, respectively (in each case, less the amount of all prior payments). During 2009, PMBRES had a normalized net operating loss, and as such, no additional payment was made during the three months ended March 31, 2010. PMBRES provides property management services for 32 multi-tenant medical office buildings that we own or in which we have an ownership interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, our share of the net income was $28,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our share of the net loss was $0.2 million. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-left: 1%"><i>PMB SB 399-401 East Highland LLC</i> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In August 2008, we acquired from PMB SB (an entity affiliated with Pacific Medical Buildings LLC) a 44.95% interest in an entity that owned two multi-tenant medical office buildings for $3.5 million. As of March 1, 2010, we acquired the remaining 55.05% interest in PMB SB. PMB SB was valued at $17.4 million at the date of acquisition, and the acquisition was paid in a combination of cash and the assumption of $11.2 million of mortgage financing (of which $6.2 million was previously attributable to the controlling interest in PMB SB). Prior to the acquisition, our investment in PMB SB was $3.0 million which was accounted for under the equity method. In connection with the acquisition, we re-measured our previously held equity interest at the acquisition date fair value based on an independent consultant’s report and recognized a net gain on the re-measurement of $0.6 million which is included in the caption “Interest and other income” on our consolidated income statements. Subsequent activity related to these facilities is included in our consolidated activity for wholly owned real estate properties (see Note 3). </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">During the period from January 1, 2010 to February 28, 2010, we received distributions of $0.1 million from PMB SB. During the period from January 1, 2010 to February 28, 2010, our share of the net income was $12,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our share of the net income was $21,000. </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false Equity investment disclosure, or group of investments for which combined disclosure is appropriate, including: (a) the name of each investee and percentage of ownership of common stock, (b) accounting policies for investments in common stock, (c) difference between the amount at which the investment is carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets and the accounting treatment of the difference, (d) the total fair value of each identified investment for which a market value is available, (e) summarized information as to assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the investees (for investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, common stock of joint ventures, or other investments using the equity method), and (f) material effects of possible conversions, exercises, or contingent issuances of the investee.
