Use of estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income taxes, Policy

Income Taxes

 

We plan on electing to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning in 2015. REITs are generally not subject to federal income taxes if the Company can meet many specific requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and we may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state or local income taxes, and if we create a Taxable REIT Subsidiary (“TRS”), the TRS will be subject to federal, state and local taxes on its income at regular corporate rates. The Company recognizes the tax effects of uncertain tax positions only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has not identified any material uncertain tax positions and recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense, if applicable. The Company is currently not under examination by any income tax jurisdiction.

 

 

Purchase of real estate

Purchase of Real Estate

 

Transactions in which real estate assets are purchased that are not subject to an existing significant lease or are attached or related to a major healthcare provider are treated as asset acquisitions, and as such are recorded at their purchase price, including acquisition fees, which is allocated to land and building based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Investment properties that are acquired either subject to a significant existing lease or as part of a portfolio level transaction with significant leasing activity are treated as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, and as such are recorded at fair value, allocated to land, building and the existing lease, if applicable, based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition, with acquisition fees and other costs expensed as incurred. Fair value is determined based on ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price of individually acquired properties, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge and published market data. In this regard, the Company also utilizes information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building. The Company utilizes market comparable transactions such as price per square foot to assist in the determination of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price of properties acquired as part of portfolio level transactions. The value of acquired leases, if applicable, is estimated based upon the costs we would have incurred to lease the property under similar terms.

 

Impairment of long lived assets

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator exists, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the carrying amount of an asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, we would record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

 

Depreciation expense

Depreciation Expense

 

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements, which are generally between 5 and 40 years.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all demand deposits, cashier’s checks, money market accounts and certificates of deposits with a maturity of three months to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains their cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits at financial institutions. The combined account balances may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and, as a result, there may be a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. The Company does not believe that this risk is significant.

Escrow Deposits Policy

Escrow Deposits

 

Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash earnest money deposits for the purchase of properties including advances from HFE USA, LLC. In addition, escrow deposits may include amounts paid for properties in certain states which require a judicial order when the risk and rewards of ownership of the property are transferred and the purchase is finalized.

Revenue recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s operations consist of rental revenue earned from one tenant under a leasing arrangement which provides for minimum rent, escalations, and charges to the tenant for the real estate taxes and operating expenses. The lease has been accounted for as the operating lease. For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes income on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis for leases results in recognized revenue amounts which differ from those that are contractually due from tenants. If the Company determines that collectability of straight-line rents is not reasonably assured, future revenue recognition is limited to amounts contractually owed and paid, and, when appropriate, an allowance for estimated losses is established.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, including an allowance for operating lease 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 a continuous basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements and other factors. For operating lease straight-line rent amounts, the Company's assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease. As of December 31, 2014, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Deferred financing costs

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Deferred financing costs include amounts paid to lenders and others to obtain financing and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan which approximates the effective interest method.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about a public entity's reportable segments. The Company has determined that they have one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in medical office buildings. Their investments in real estate are in the same geographic region and management evaluates operating performance on an individual asset level.

                                                                              

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is a market-based measurement, and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

• Level 1-Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

• Level 2-Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

 

• Level 3-Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company considers the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, escrow deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities to approximate the fair value for these financial instruments because of the short period of time since origination or the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. The fair value of accounts payable due to affiliates is not determinable due to the related party nature of the accounts payable.

Reclassification, Policy
