HCP, Inc.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

(1)         Business

 

HCP, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that is organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which, together with its consolidated entities (collectively, “HCP” or the “Company”), invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States. The Company acquires, develops, leases, manages and disposes of healthcare real estate and provides mortgage and specialty financing to healthcare providers.

 

(2)         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HCP, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures that it controls, through voting rights or other means. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised (“FIN 46R”), for arrangements with variable interest entities. FIN 46R provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. A variable interest entity is broadly defined as an entity where either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, do not have a controlling financial interest, or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company consolidates investments in VIEs when the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE at either the creation of the variable interest entity or upon the occurrence of a qualifying reconsideration event.

 

At June 30, 2008, the Company had 81 properties, with a carrying value of $1.3 billion leased to a total of nine tenants that have been identified as VIEs (“VIE tenants”) and has a loan with a carrying value of $86 million to a borrower that has been identified as a VIE. The Company acquired these leases and loan on October 5, 2006 in its merger with CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. (“CRP”). CRP determined it was not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and the Company is required to carry forward CRP’s accounting conclusions after the acquisition relative to their primary beneficiary assessments, provided that the Company does not believe CRP’s accounting to be in error. The Company believes that its accounting for the VIEs is the appropriate accounting in accordance with GAAP. On December 21, 2007, the Company made an investment of approximately $900 million in mezzanine loans where each mezzanine borrower has been identified as a VIE. The Company has also determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.

 

The Company applies Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-5, Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”), to investments in joint ventures. EITF 04-5 provides guidance on the type of rights held by the limited partner(s) that

preclude consolidation in circumstances in which the sole general partner would otherwise consolidate the limited partnership in accordance with GAAP. The assessment of limited partners’ rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner should be made when an investor becomes the sole general partner and should be reassessed if (i) there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners, (ii) the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or (iii) there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. EITF 04-5 also applies to managing member interests in limited liability companies.

 

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

Investments in entities which the Company does not consolidate but for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are reported under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses are included in the Company’s operating results.

 

The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is based on the amount paid to purchase the joint venture interest or the carrying value of the assets prior to the sale of interests in the joint venture. To the extent that the Company’s cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the life of the related assets and liabilities and included in the Company’s share of equity in earnings of the joint venture. The Company recognizes gains on the sale of interests in joint ventures to the extent the economic substance of the transaction is a sale in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate (“SFAS No. 66”).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental income from tenants is recognized in accordance with GAAP, including SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”). The Company begins recognizing rental revenue when collectibility is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. For assets acquired subject to leases the Company recognizes revenue upon acquisition of the asset provided the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:

 

·      whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;

 

·      whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;

 

·      whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and

 

·      whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

 

For leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes income on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectibility is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis for leases results in recognized revenue exceeding amounts contractually due from tenants. Such cumulative excess amounts are included in other assets and were $92 million and $76 million, net of allowances, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. In the event the Company determines that collectibility of straight-line rents is not reasonably assured, the Company limits future recognition to amounts contractually owed, and, where appropriate, the Company establishes an allowance for estimated losses.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, including an allowance for straight-line rent receivables, for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on an ongoing basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements and other factors. For straight-line rent amounts, the Company’s assessment is based on amounts recoverable over the term of the lease. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had an allowance of $36 million, included in other assets, as a result of the Company’s determination that collectibility is not reasonably assured for certain straight-line rent amounts.

Certain leases provide for additional rents contingent upon a percentage of the facility’s revenue in excess of specified base amounts or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the tenant, or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized in accordance with SAB 104, which states that income is recognized only after the contingency has been removed (when the related thresholds are achieved), which may result in the recognition of rent payments in periods subsequent to when such payments are received.

 

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented in accordance with EITF Issue 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent (“EITF 99-19”). EITF 99-19 requires that these reimbursements be recorded gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the credit risk.

 

The Company uses the direct finance method of accounting to record income from direct financing leases (“DFLs”). For leases accounted for as DFLs, future minimum lease payments are recorded as a receivable. The difference between the future minimum lease payments and the estimated residual values less the cost of the properties is recorded as unearned income. Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease terms to provide a constant yield. Investments in direct financing leases are presented net of unamortized unearned income.

 

The Company receives management fees from its investments in joint venture entities for various services provided as the managing member of the ventures. Management fees are recorded as revenue when management services have been delivered.

 

The Company recognizes gains on sales of properties in accordance with SFAS No. 66 upon the closing of the transaction with the purchaser. Gains on properties sold are recognized using the full accrual method when the collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured, the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient and other profit recognition criteria have been satisfied. Gains on sales of properties may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition under SFAS No. 66 have been met.

 

Real Estate

 

Real estate, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, is recorded at cost. The Company allocates the cost of the acquisition, including the assumption of liabilities, to the acquired tangible assets and identifiable intangibles based on their estimated fair values in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.

 

The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant.

 

The Company records acquired “above and below” market leases at fair value using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and the initial term plus the extended term for any leases with bargain renewal options. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

 

The Company capitalizes direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development or construction of a real estate project. In accordance with SFAS No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Cost and SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, construction and development costs are capitalized while substantive activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have stopped, are expensed as incurred. Costs previously capitalized related to abandoned acquisitions or developments are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

The Company computes depreciation on properties using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Depreciation is discontinued when a property is identified as held for sale. Building and improvements are depreciated over useful lives ranging up to 45 years. Above and below market lease intangibles are amortized primarily to revenue over the remaining noncancellable lease terms and bargain renewal periods, if any. Other in-place lease intangibles are amortized to expense over the remaining noncancellable lease term and bargain renewal periods, if any.

 

Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Loans receivable are classified as held-for-investment based on management’s intent and ability to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or to maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried at amortized cost reduced by a valuation allowance for estimated credit losses. The Company recognizes interest income on loans, including the amortization of discounts and premiums, using the effective interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Premiums and discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the life of the related loans. Loans are transferred from held-for-investment to held-for-sale when management’s intent is to no longer hold the loans for the foreseeable future. Loans held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

 

Allowances are established for loans based upon an estimate of probable losses for the individual loans deemed to be impaired. Impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due on a timely basis in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The allowance is based upon the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record; the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and, if appropriate, the realizable value of any collateral. These estimates consider all available evidence including, as appropriate, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate, the fair value of collateral, general economic conditions and trends, historical and industry loss experience, and other relevant factors.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

 

The Company assesses the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”). If the sum of the expected future net undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset, an impairment loss will be recognized by adjusting the asset’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value.

 

Goodwill is tested at least annually applying the following two-step approach in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The first step of the test is a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit containing goodwill to its carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, then the second step of the test is needed to measure the amount of potential goodwill impairment. The second step requires the fair value of the reporting unit to be allocated to all the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination at the date of the impairment test. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of assets and liabilities is the implied value of goodwill and is used to determine the amount of impairment.

 

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

 

Certain long-lived assets are classified as held-for-sale in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less cost to sell and are no longer depreciated. Discontinued operations is defined in SFAS No. 144 as a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is deemed to be held for sale if, (i) the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction, and (ii) the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation expense is recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, as revised (“SFAS No. 123R”). On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application transition method which provides for only current and future period stock-based awards to be measured and recognized at fair value.

 

SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006 to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Compensation expense for awards with graded vesting is generally recognized ratably over the period from the date of grant to the date when the award is no longer contingent on the employee providing additional services. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company applied SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, for stock-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by mortgage lenders to provide for future real estate tax expenditures, tenant and capital improvements, security deposits and net proceeds from property sales that were executed as tax-deferred dispositions.

 

Derivatives

 

During its normal course of business, the Company uses certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate risk. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at inception of a qualifying hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with the Company’s related assertions.

 

The Company applies SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (“SFAS No. 133”). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives required to be bifurcated, as assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as hedging instruments in qualifying hedging relationships, the change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) whereas the change in fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized in earnings.

 

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes designating all derivatives that are part of a hedging relationship to specific forecasted transactions or recognized obligations in the balance sheet. The Company also assesses and documents, both at the hedging instrument’s inception and on a quarterly basis thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows associated with the respective hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and reclassifies amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings.

 

Income Taxes

 

In 1985, HCP, Inc. elected REIT status and believes it has always operated so as to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, HCP, Inc. will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and its distributions to its stockholders equal or exceed its taxable income. On July 27, 2007, the Company formed HCP Life Science REIT, a consolidated subsidiary, which will elect REIT status for the year ended December 31, 2007 with the filing of its 2007 U.S. federal income tax return. HCP, Inc., along with its consolidated REIT subsidiary, are each subject to the REIT qualification requirements under Sections 856 to 860 of the Code. If either REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years.

 

HCP, Inc. and HCP Life Science REIT are subject to state and local income taxes in some jurisdictions, and in certain circumstances each REIT may also be subject to federal excise taxes on undistributed income. In addition, certain activities the Company undertakes must be conducted by entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). TRSs are subject to both federal and state income taxes.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company classifies its marketable equity and debt securities as available-for-sale in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. These securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method. When the Company determines declines in fair value of marketable securities are other-than-temporary, a realized loss is recognized in earnings.

Capital Raising Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of both common and preferred shares are recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs are deferred and included in other assets and amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method over the remaining term of the related debt.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company reports its consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS No. 131”). The Company’s segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by healthcare sector. The Company’s business includes five segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) life science, (iii) medical office, (iv) hospital and (v) skilled nursing.

 

Prior to the Slough Estates USA Inc. (“SEUSA”) acquisition, the Company operated through two reportable segments—triple-net leased and medical office buildings. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of SEUSA, the Company added a significant portfolio of real estate assets under different leasing and property management structures and made corresponding organizational changes. The Company believes the change to its reportable segments is appropriate and consistent with how its chief operating decision maker reviews the Company’s operating results. In addition, in accordance with SFAS No. 131, all prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

Minority Interests and Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments

 

As of June 30, 2008, there were 5.9 million non-managing member units outstanding in six limited liability companies of which the Company is the managing member: (i) HCPI/Tennessee, LLC; (ii) HCPI/Utah, LLC; (iii) HCPI/Utah II, LLC; (iv) HCP DR California, LLC; (v) HCP DR Alabama, LLC; and (vi) HCP DR MCD, LLC. The Company consolidates these entities since it exercises control and carries the minority interests at cost. The non-managing member LLC Units (“DownREIT units”) are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). Upon exchange of DownREIT units for the Company’s common stock, the carrying amount of the DownREIT units is reclassified to stockholders’ equity. In April 2008, as a result of the non-managing member converting its remaining HCPI/Indiana, LLC DownREIT units, HCPI/Indiana, LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary. At June 30, 2008, the carrying value and market value of the 5.9 million DownREIT units were $241.5 million and $265.3 million, respectively.

 

Life Care Bonds Payable

 

Two of the Company’s continuing care retirement communities (“CCRCs”) issue non-interest bearing life care bonds payable to certain residents of the CCRCs. Generally, the bonds are refundable to the resident or to the resident’s estate upon termination or cancellation of the CCRC agreement. One of the Company’s other senior housing facilities requires that certain residents of the facility post non-interest bearing occupancy fee deposits that are refundable to the resident or the resident’s estate upon the earlier of the re-letting of the unit or after two years of vacancy. Proceeds from the issuance of new bonds are used to retire existing bonds. As the maturity of these obligations is not determinable, no interest is imputed. These amounts are included in other debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented the requirements of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (‘‘SFAS No. 157’’), for its financial assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 refines the definition of fair value, expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements and establishes specific requirements as well as guidelines for a consistent framework to measure fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Further, SFAS No. 157 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements.

 

SFAS No. 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

 

·                  Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

12



Table of Contents

 

·                  Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

·                  Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company measures fair value using a set of standardized procedures that are outlined herein for all financial assets and liabilities which are required to be measured at fair value. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In some instances where a market price is available, but in an inactive or over-the-counter market where significant fluctuations in pricing can occur, the Company consistently applies the dealer (market maker) pricing estimate and classifies the financial asset or liability in Level 2.

 

If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are based upon valuation models that utilize current market or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads, etc. Items valued using such internally-generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, a financial asset or liability could be classified in either Level 2 or 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Internal fair value models and techniques used by the Company include discounted cash flow and Black Scholes valuation models.

 

Based on the guidelines of SFAS No. 157, the Company has amended its techniques used in measuring the fair value of derivative and other financial asset and liability positions. These enhancements include the impact of the Company’s or reporting entity’s credit risk on derivatives and other liabilities measured at fair value as well as the election of the mid-market pricing expedient outlined in the standard. The implementation of these enhancements and the adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

On February 12, 2008, the FASB postponed the implementation of SFAS No. 157 related to non-financial assets and liabilities until fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As a result, the Company has not applied the above fair value procedures to its goodwill and long-lived asset impairment analyses during the current period. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon implementation for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (‘‘SFAS No. 159’’). SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. SFAS No. 159 was effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year after November 15, 2007, and subsequent reporting periods thereafter. Currently the Company has not adopted the guidelines of SFAS No. 159 and continues to evaluate whether or not it will in future periods based on industry participant elections and financial reporting consistency with its peers.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, as revised (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed (including intangibles), and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R on January 1, 2009 will require the Company to prospectively expense all transaction costs for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or subsequent to that date. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS No. 141R to fiscal years preceding the effective date is not permitted. The implementation of this standard on January 1, 2009 could materially impact the Company’s future financial results to the extent that it acquires significant amounts of real estate, as related acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred rather than the Company’s current practice of capitalizing such costs and amortizing them over the estimated useful life of the assets acquired.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51 (“SFAS No. 160”), which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity. Purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a gain or loss of control, the interest purchased or sold, as well as any interest

retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and applies prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which apply retrospectively. To the extent that the Company purchases or disposes interests and gains or loses control in entities or real estate partnerships in periods subsequent to adoption, the impact on its financial position or results of operations could be material, as these interests will be recognized at fair value with gains and losses recorded to earnings.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standard 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142. In developing assumptions about renewal or extension, FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own historical experience (or, if no experience, market participant assumptions) adjusted for relevant entity-specific factors in paragraph 11 of SFAS No. 142. FSP FAS 142-3 expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 142 and is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009, with early adoption prohibited. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 on January 1, 2009 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the guidance in FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. All prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on January 1, 2009 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of SEUSA were recorded at their relative fair values as of the date of the acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company revised its initial purchase price allocation of its acquired interest in SEUSA, which resulted in the Company reallocating $53 million among buildings and improvements, development costs and construction in progress, land, intangible assets and investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures from its preliminary allocation at December 31, 2007. The changes from the Company’s initial purchase price allocation did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

The DFLs were acquired in the Company’s merger with CRP. CRP determined that these leases were DFLs, and the Company is required to carry forward CRP’s accounting conclusions after the acquisition date relative to their assessment of these leases, provided that the Company does not believe CRP’s accounting to be in error. The Company believes that its accounting for the leases is the appropriate accounting in accordance with GAAP. Certain leases contain provisions that allow the tenants to elect to purchase the properties during or at the end of the lease terms for the aggregate initial investment amount plus adjustments, if any, as defined in the lease agreements. Certain leases also permit the Company to require the tenants to purchase the properties at the end of the lease terms. Lease payments due to the Company relating to three land-only DFLs with a carrying value of $59.5 million at June 30, 2008 are subordinate to and serve as collateral for first mortgage construction loans entered into by the tenants to fund development costs related to the properties.

The Company has an agreement to provide an affiliate of the Cirrus Group, LLC with an interest only, senior secured term loan. The loan provides for a maturity date of December 31, 2008, with a one-year extension at the option of the borrower, under which amounts were borrowed to finance the acquisition, development, syndication and operation of new and existing surgical partnerships. This loan accrues interest at a rate of 14.0%, of which 9.5% is payable monthly and the balance of 4.5% is deferred until maturity. The loan is subject to equity contribution requirements and borrower financial covenants and is collateralized by assets of the borrower (comprised primarily of interests in partnerships operating surgical facilities in premises leased from a Cirrus affiliate, HCP Ventures IV or the Company) and is guaranteed up to $50 million through a combination of (i) a personal guarantee of up to $13 million by a principal of Cirrus, and (ii) a guarantee of the balance by other principals of Cirrus under arrangements for recourse limited only to their interests in certain entities owning real estate. At June 30, 2008, the carrying value of this loan was $86 million.

 

On December 21, 2007, the Company made an investment in mezzanine loans having an aggregate face value of $1.0 billion, for approximately $900 million, as part of the financing for The Carlyle Group’s $6.3 billion purchase of Manor Care, Inc. These loans bear interest on their face amounts at a floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus 4.0%, mature in January 2013 and are pre-payable at any time subject to a yield maintenance fee during the first twelve months. These loans are mandatorily pre-payable in January 2012 unless the borrower satisfies certain financial conditions. The loans are secured by an indirect pledge of the equity ownership in 339 HCR ManorCare facilities located in 30 states and are subordinate to other debt of approximately $3.6 billion at closing. At June 30, 2008, the carrying value of this loan was $910 million.

(1)          Represents the original cost basis of the marketable securities reduced by other-than-temporary impairments recorded through earnings, if any.

 

The marketable securities with gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2008 are not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. The Company’s debt securities accrue interest at 9.625% and 9.25%, and mature in November 2016 and May 2017, respectively.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company sold debt securities with a cost basis of $10 million and $45 million, which resulted in gains of approximately $0.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively, and were recognized in interest and other income, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company realized gains from the sale of various equity securities totaling $1.0 million, which were included in interest and other income, net. There were no sales of equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

The Company recognized a $3.5 million loss during the three months ended June 30, 2008 on marketable equity securities with a carrying value of $7.3 million at June 30, 2008. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects for the securities in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment and concluded that the investment is other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2008.

The revolving line of credit facility contains a negotiated rate option, whereby the lenders participating in the line of credit facility bid on the interest to be charged which may result in a reduced interest rate, and is available for up to 50% of borrowings. Based on the Company’s debt ratings on June 30, 2008, the margin on the revolving line of credit facility was 0.55% and the facility fee was 0.15%. The Company’s revolving line of credit facility matures on August 1, 2011.

 

At June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of the Company’s bridge loan was $1.15 billion and had an initial maturity date of July 31, 2008. The Company originally had two optional 6-month extensions, subject to debt compliance and extension fees, which can be used to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2009. In July 2008, the Company exercised its first extension option. The bridge loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.425% to 1.25%, depending upon the Company’s debt ratings (weighted average effective interest rate of 3.48% at June 30, 2008). Based on the Company’s debt ratings on June 30, 2008, the margin on the bridge loan facility is 0.70%. In July 2008, the Company repaid $150 million of the outstanding balance of the bridge loan.

 

The revolving line of credit facility and bridge loan contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreement, limit the ratio of (i) Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 70%, (ii) Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%, and (iii) Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 80%. The agreement also requires that the Company maintain (i) a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 1.50 times, and (ii) a formula-determined Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. A portion of these financial covenants become more restrictive through the period ending March 31, 2009 and ultimately (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%, (ii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 65%, and (iii) require a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 1.75 times. At June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with each of the restrictions and requirements of its revolving line of credit facility and bridge loan.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes

 

At June 30, 2008, the Company had $3.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes outstanding. Interest rates on the notes ranged from 3.20% to 7.07% at June 30, 2008. The weighted average effective interest rate on the senior unsecured notes at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, was 6.03% and 6.18%, respectively. Discounts and premiums are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

 

The senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants including limitations on debt and other customary terms. At June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

 

Mortgage Debt

 

At June 30, 2008, the Company had $1.5 billion in mortgage debt secured by 215 healthcare facilities with a carrying amount of $2.6 billion. Interest rates on the mortgage notes ranged from 2.08% to 8.63% with a weighted average effective rate of 5.99% at June 30, 2008.

 

In May 2008, the Company obtained $259 million of seven-year mortgage financing with a fixed interest rate of 5.83%. The Company received net proceeds of $254 million, which were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under its revolving line of credit facility and bridge loan.

 

Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments. Some of the loans are also cross-collateralized by multiple properties. The secured debt is collateralized by deeds of trust or mortgages on certain properties and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage debt encumbering properties typically restricts title transfer of the respective properties subject to the terms of the mortgage, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the properties in good condition, requires maintenance of insurance on the properties and includes a requirement to obtain lender consent to enter into and terminate material tenant leases.

Other Debt

 

At June 30, 2008, the Company had $105.3 million of non-interest bearing Life Care Bonds at two of its CCRCs and non-interest bearing occupancy fee deposits at another of its senior housing facilities, all of which were payable to certain residents of the facilities (collectively “Life Care Bonds”). At June 30, 2008, $40.4 million of the Life Care Bonds were refundable to the residents upon the resident moving out or to their estate upon death, and $64.9 million of the Life Care Bonds were refundable after the units are successfully remarketed to new residents.

(12)  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings.  From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Regardless of their merits, these matters may force the Company to expend significant financial resources. Except as described below, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes may have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s policy is to accrue legal expenses as they are incurred.

 

On May 3, 2007, Ventas, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, asserting claims of tortious interference with contract and tortious interference with prospective business advantage. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company interfered with Ventas’ purchase agreement with Sunrise Senior Living Real Estate Investment Trust (“Sunrise REIT”); that the Company interfered with Ventas’ prospective business advantage in connection with the Sunrise REIT transaction; and that the Company’s actions caused Ventas to suffer damages, including the payment of over $100 million in additional consideration to acquire the Sunrise REIT assets. Ventas is seeking monetary relief, including compensatory and punitive damages, against the Company. On July 2, 2007, the Company filed its answer to Ventas’ complaint and a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. On December 19, 2007, the court denied the motion to dismiss. The Company believes that Ventas’ claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against Ventas’ lawsuit. On April 8, 2008, the Company filed a motion for leave to assert counterclaims against Ventas as part of the above litigation. HCP’s proposed counterclaims allege, among other things, that Sunrise REIT fraudulently induced HCP to participate in a flawed and unfair auction process, and that absent such misconduct, HCP would have succeeded in acquiring Sunrise REIT. HCP seeks to recover compensatory and punitive damages. The proposed counterclaims further allege that Ventas, in acquiring Sunrise REIT, assumed the liability of Sunrise REIT. On July 25, 2008, the Court granted HCP’s motion over Ventas’ opposition, allowing HCP to file its counterclaims. HCP intends to pursue such claims vigorously; however, there can be no assurances that it will prevail on any of the claims or the amount of any recovery that may be awarded. The Company expects that defending its interests and pursuing its own claims in the foregoing matters will require it to expend significant funds. The Company is unable to estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability, gain or financial impact with respect to these matters as of June 30, 2008.

 

In April 2007, the Company and Health Care Property Partners (“HCPP”), a joint venture between the Company and an affiliate of Tenet Healthcare Corporation (“Tenet”), served Tenet and certain Tenet subsidiaries with notices of default with respect to its hospital in Tarzana, California, and two other hospitals that are leased by such affiliates from the Company and HCPP. The notices of default generally relate to deferred maintenance and compliance with legal requirements, including compliance with the requirements of State of California Senate Bill 1953 (“SB 1953”) (further described below). On May 8, 2007, certain subsidiaries of Tenet filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles with respect to the hospital owned by the Company and initiated arbitration actions with respect to the two hospitals owned by HCPP, in each case asserting various causes of action generally relating to such notices of default. Upon Tenet’s failure to fully remedy all of the items set forth in the notices of default to the Company’s satisfaction,

Table of Contents

 

the Company, on July 27, 2007, exercised its right to terminate the leases to Tenet of four other hospitals owned by the Company, effective December 31, 2007, invoking cross­default provisions under such leases. On September 24, 2007, Tenet amended its original complaint and added claims by the lessees under the four terminated leases substantially similar to the previously filed claims. Tenet’s subsidiaries are seeking declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief, including compensatory and punitive damages, against the Company and HCPP. On October 8, 2007, HCPP responded to the claims by Tenet’s subsidiaries in the arbitration action, raising its own claims against Tenet and the lessees of the two hospitals relating to the matters described in the notices of default, and on October 17, 2007, the Company similarly filed a counterclaim against Tenet and the plaintiffs in the California state court action. On October 16, 2007, Lake Health Care Facilities, Inc., another subsidiary of Tenet and the non-managing general partner of HCPP, filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles in which it alleges that the service of the notices of default upon HCPP’s tenants was a breach of the Company’s fiduciary duties as managing partner of HCPP and that the Company has breached the HCPP partnership agreement. The Company believes that the claims by Tenet’s subsidiaries are without merit and, subject to the tentative settlement described below, intends to vigorously defend against those claims in the litigation and arbitration proceedings.

 

Due to pending settlement discussions, on February 21, 2008, at the request of the parties, the Court entered orders to accommodate such discussions. Similarly, the arbitrators approved a stipulation in the arbitration action that accommodates the settlement discussions. On June 30, 2008, the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement relating to the disputes that are the subject of litigation and arbitration proceedings described above. The agreement provides for, among other things, the sale of a hospital in Tarzana, California, by the Company to a Tenet affiliate, the non-renewal by Tenet subsidiaries of leases with respect to hospitals in Irvine, California, and Los Gatos, California, and the extension of the terms of three other hospitals leased by an affiliate of the Company to affiliates of Tenet. With the execution of settlement documents, the parties agreed to appear before the Court to secure further accommodations pending the consummation of the settlement, if at all. The effectiveness of the settlement is contingent on the closing of the sale by Tenet of the hospital in Tarzana, California, which closing is subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals, and there can be no assurances that the closing will occur. If the settlement does not become effective, the Company will continue to vigorously defend against the claims made by Tenet’s subsidiaries and pursue its own claims against Tenet and its affiliates.

 

State of California Senate Bill 1953.  The hospital owned by the Company in Tarzana, California, which hospital is under contract to be sold to an affiliate of Tenet as described above, is affected by SB 1953, which requires certain seismic safety building standards for acute care hospital facilities. This hospital is currently operated by Tenet under a lease expiring in February 2009. As indicated above, the Company is currently disputing Tenet’s responsibility for performance of compliance activities, but has reached an agreement, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals, to sell the hospital as described above, which sale would relieve HCP of any SB 1953 compliance obligations it has, if any. Rental income from the hospital for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 were $4.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively. At June 30, 2008, the carrying amount of the property was $70.6 million. The results of operations and carrying value of this property are reflected in discontinued operations and real estate held for sale, net, respectively.

 

Development Commitments.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company was committed under the terms of contracts to complete the construction of properties undergoing development at a remaining aggregate cost of approximately $58 million.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk.  Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to the Company’s investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions.

 

On December 21, 2007, the Company made an investment in mezzanine loans to HCR ManorCare with an aggregate face value of $1.0 billion, for approximately $900 million. At June 30, 2008, these loans represented approximately 78% of our skilled nursing segment assets and 7% of our total segment assets.

 

At June 30, 2008, the Company had 81 of its senior housing facilities leased to nine tenants that have been identified as VIEs (“VIE Tenants”). These VIE Tenants are thinly capitalized entities that rely on the cash flow generated from the senior housing facilities to pay operating expenses, including rent obligations under their leases. The 81 senior housing facilities leased to the VIE Tenants are operated by Sunrise Senior Living Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (“Sunrise”). Sunrise is publicly traded and is subject to the informational filing requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is required to file periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q with the SEC. However, Sunrise is the subject of a formal SEC investigation. In addition, Sunrise has not filed its periodic reports on Form 10-Q subsequent to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, which was filed on July 31, 2008.

To mitigate credit risk of certain senior housing leases, leases are combined into portfolios that contain cross-default terms, so that if a tenant of any of the properties in a portfolio defaults on its obligations under its lease, the Company may pursue its remedies under the lease with respect to any of the properties in the portfolio. Certain portfolios also contain terms whereby the net operating profits of the properties are combined for the purpose of securing the funding of rental payments due under each lease.

 

DownREIT Partnerships.  In connection with the formation of certain DownREIT partnerships, partners generally contributed appreciated real estate to the DownREIT in exchange for DownREIT units. These contributions are generally tax-free, so that the pre-contribution gain related to the property is not taxed to the contributing partner. However, if the contributed property is later sold by the partnership, the pre-contribution gain that exists at the date of sale is specially allocated and taxed to the contributing partners. In many of the DownREITs, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with those partners who contributed appreciated property into the partnership. Under these indemnification agreements, if any of the appreciated real estate contributed by the partners is sold by the partnership in a taxable transaction within a specified number of years after the property was contributed, HCP will reimburse the affected partners for the federal and state income taxes associated with the pre-contribution gain that is specially allocated to the affected partner under the Code (“make-whole payments”). These make-whole payments include a tax gross-up provision.

 

Credit Enhancement Guarantee.  Certain of the Company’s senior housing facilities serve as collateral for $138.3 million of debt (maturing May 1, 2025) that is owed by a previous owner of the facilities. The Company’s obligation under such indebtedness is guaranteed by the debtor who has an investment grade credit rating. These senior housing facilities are classified as DFLs and have a carrying value of $349.5 million at June 30, 2008.

 

Environmental Costs.  The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company carries environmental insurance and believes that the policy terms, conditions, limitations and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice.

 

General Uninsured Losses.  The Company obtains various types of insurance to mitigate the impact of property, business interruption, liability, flood, windstorm, earthquake, environmental and terrorism related losses. The Company attempts to obtain appropriate policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles considering the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war or other events that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. In addition, the Company has a large number of properties that are exposed to earthquake, flood and windstorm and the insurance for such losses carries high deductibles. Should an uninsured loss occur at a property, the Company’s assets may become impaired and the Company may not be able to operate its business at the property for an extended period of time.

(14)  Segment Disclosures

 

The Company evaluates its business and makes resource allocations based on its five business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) life science, (iii) medical office, (iv) hospital, and (v) skilled nursing. Under the senior housing, life science, hospital and skilled nursing segments, the Company invests primarily in single operator or tenant properties through acquisition and development of real estate, secured financing and marketable debt securities of operators in these sectors. Under the medical office segment, the Company invests through acquisition and secured financing in MOBs that are primarily leased under gross or modified gross leases, generally to multiple tenants, and which generally require a greater level of property management. The acquisition of SEUSA on August 1, 2007 resulted in a change to the Company’s reportable segments. Prior to the SEUSA acquisition, the Company operated through two reportable segments—triple-net leased and medical office buildings. The senior housing, life science, hospital and skilled nursing segments were previously aggregated under the Company’s triple-net leased segment. SEUSA’s results are included in the Company’s

24



Table of Contents

 

consolidated financial statements from the date of the Company’s acquisition on August 1, 2007. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described under Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 2). There were no intersegment sales or transfers during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) of the combined properties in each segment.

 

Non-segment assets consist primarily of real estate held for sale and corporate assets including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net and deferred financing costs. Interest expense, depreciation and amortization and non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining the Company’s performance measure. See Note 12 for other information regarding concentrations of credit risk.
