PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS


Organization


Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 18, 2011 under the name Scoop Media, Inc. (“Scoop Media”), which was acquired by the Hong Kong company ZH International Holdings Limited (formerly known as Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd.) in 2013. The Company changed to its current name effective January 6, 2014 in connection with its re-domestication into a Maryland corporation and change of strategy to focus on the acquisition and leasing of licensed purpose-built healthcare facilities.


On June 29, 2015, Joy Town Inc., a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, acquired a controlling interest in Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd. On September 7, 2015, Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd. changed its name to ZH International Holdings Limited.


ZH International Holdings Limited, is a Hong Kong listed company engaged in real estate development, investments, management and sales, hospitality management and investments and REIT management. ZH International Holdings Limited owns ZH USA, LLC, (formerly known as HFE USA, LLC) the Company’s majority stockholder. As of December 31, 2015, ZH USA, LLC owns an aggregate of 248,825 (or 99.5%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock.


On March 14, 2016, the Company formed an operating partnership subsidiary through which the Company intends to hold substantially all of its assets and conduct substantially all of its operations and investment activities going forward.


Overview


We are a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition and leasing of licensed, state-of-the-art, purpose-built healthcare facilities in select markets with leading clinical operators with dominant market share. We are externally managed and advised by Inter-American Management LLC, our advisor (the “Advisor”), which is an entity owned or controlled by an affiliate of ZH USA, LLC. Our management team has significant healthcare, real estate and public real estate investment trust, or REIT, experience and has long-established relationships with a wide range of healthcare providers, which we believe will provide us a competitive advantage in sourcing growth opportunities that produce attractive risk-adjusted returns.


We believe that the aging of America in conjunction with the expansion of health insurance is increasing the need for specialized healthcare facilities leased to premier practice groups, healthcare systems and corporate providers that will capture the growth in age-related procedures. These leading medical operators require state-of-the-art facilities that through their technology and design enhance the quality of care provided and improve clinical outcomes for patients. We seek to invest in these purpose-built, specialized facilities, such as surgery centers, specialty hospitals and outpatient treatment centers, in order to align with contemporary trends in the delivery of best healthcare practices. Our healthcare facilities are leased to established providers that, through clinical expertise and strong management, operate sustainable and dominant practices. We target markets with high demand for premium healthcare services, and within those markets, assets that are strategically located to take advantage of the decentralization of healthcare. We believe that our investment in the confluence of state-of-the-art medical facilities, market dominant tenant-operators and strategic sub-markets enhances clinical outcomes and provides attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders.


Our healthcare facilities are typically fully leased, or under contract to be leased, under long-term triple-net leases on the date of purchase. We may acquire existing healthcare facilities under sale-leaseback or similar arrangements, or we may contract to purchase facilities under development that are being built to an operator’s specifications. Most of our tenant-operators are physician group tenant-operators, community hospital tenant-operators and corporate medical treatment chain operators that are leading clinical operators in the markets they serve.


For details about our portfolio of assets, refer to Item 2. – “Properties” herein.


Our Objectives and Growth Strategy


Our principal business objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders through a combination of (i) sustainable and increasing rental income that allows us to pay reliable, increasing dividends, and (ii) potential long-term appreciation in the value of our healthcare facilities and common stock. Our primary strategies to achieve our business objective are to:


·

acquire state-of-the-art, licensed medical facilities that through their technology and design enhance the quality of care provided and improve clinical outcomes for patients;

·

target facilities that are built and adapted to contemporary best healthcare practices;



6




·

lease each facility to a single, local market leading medical provider who has sustained and is successfully managing excellent clinical and profitable practices;

·

focus on practice types that are highly dependent on their purpose-built real estate to deliver core medical procedures, such as cardiovascular treatment, cosmetic plastic surgery, eye surgery, gastroenterology, oncology treatment and orthopedics;

·

originate the majority of our investments by working directly with the operating medical providers in our target markets;

·

create value by negotiating new leases rather than acquiring leased fee returns via acquisition of already rented healthcare facilities;

·

lease the facilities under long-term triple-net leases with contractual rent escalations; and

·

efficiently and rapidly grow our portfolio to drive economies of scale and diversification.


We believe that healthcare facilities with the following technological and design characteristics, which are generally consistent with our current portfolio, will enable us to achieve strong risk-adjusted returns:


·

state-of-the-art intensive care and operating room equipment and imaging technology;

·

efficient and contiguous patient treatment space for imaging, pre-operation, surgery, post-surgery and recovery phases of care;

·

state-of-the-art infection control materials in patient treatment room surfaces;

·

specialized sub-micron filtration HVAC in operating rooms;

·

high capacity and modern back-up emergency power generation;

·

highly durable and energy efficient internal and external construction materials, including membrane roofing; and

·

fiber optic cabling incorporated in initial construction.


Financing Strategy:


The primary objective of our financing strategy is to maintain financial flexibility with a prudent capital structure using retained cash flows, long-term debt and the issuance of common and preferred stock to finance our growth. We seek to manage our balance sheet by maintaining prudent financial ratios and leverage levels. We intend to (i) achieve opportunistic and reasonable debt service with leverage that initially approaches approximately 60% of the fair market value of our healthcare facilities, and lower ratios as we grow our equity capital base, (ii) establish a secured revolving credit facility to finance acquisitions in concert with other debt instruments, (iii) create staggered debt maturities that are aligned to our expected average lease term, positioning us to re-price parts of our capital structure as our rental rates change with market conditions, (iv) achieve easier and faster access to the equity capital markets using a shelf registration statement once we are eligible to use Form S-3, which we expect to occur in August 2016, and (v) access international capital to avoid market cycle shortages and enhance acquisition expediency. We are not subject to any limitations on the amount of leverage we may use, and accordingly, the amount of leverage we use may be significantly less or greater than we currently anticipate.


Healthcare Industry and Healthcare Real Estate Market Opportunity


We believe the U.S. healthcare industry is continuing its rapid pace of growth due to increasing healthcare expenditures, favorable demographic trends, evolving patient preferences and recently enacted government initiatives. Furthermore, we believe these factors are contributing to the increasing need for healthcare providers to enhance the delivery of healthcare by, among other things, integrating real estate solutions that focus on higher quality, more efficient and conveniently located patient care.


U.S. Healthcare Spending Expected to Increase 5.8% per Year over Next Decade


According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, healthcare spending was approximately 17.5% of U.S. gross domestic product, or GDP, in 2014. The anticipated continuing increase in demand for healthcare services, together with an evolving complex and costly regulatory environment, changes in medical technology and reductions in government reimbursements are expected to pressure capital-constrained healthcare providers to find cost effective solutions for their real estate needs.


We believe the demand of healthcare providers for healthcare facilities will increase as health spending in the United States continues to increase.


Aging U.S. Population Driving Increase in Demand for Healthcare Services


The general aging of the population, driven by the baby boomer generation and advances in medical technology and services which increase life expectancy, is a key driver of the growth in healthcare expenditures. We believe that demographic trends in the United States, including in particular an aging population, will result in continued growth in the demand for healthcare services, which in turn will lead to an increasing need for a greater supply of modern, well-located healthcare facilities.



7




Between 2015 and 2060, the U.S. population over 65 years of age is projected to more than double from 47.8 million to nearly 98.2 million and the 85 and older population is expected to more than triple, from 6.3 million to 19.7 million. The number of older Americans is also growing as a percentage of the total U.S. population with the number of persons older than 65 estimated to comprise 14.9% of the total U.S. population in 2015 and projected to grow to 23.6% by 2060.


Affordable Care Act Driving Increase in Insured Americans


The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, or Affordable Care Act, represents a significant overhaul of many aspects of healthcare regulations and health insurance and requires every American to have health insurance or be subjected to a tax. The percentage of insured Americans has increased significantly since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. The number of uninsured Americans decreased from 44.2 million in 2013 to 35.5 million in 2014, a decrease of 24.5%. HHS predicts that the Affordable Care Act will result in an additional 35 million Americans having health insurance by 2020, which we believe will increase the frequency of physician office visits. Accordingly, we believe the increased demand for healthcare services will result in the need for healthcare providers to invest in the expansion of medical, outpatient and smaller specialty outpatient-oriented hospital facilities.


Clinical Care Continues to Shift to Outpatient Facilities


We believe the continued shift in the delivery of healthcare services to outpatient facilities will increase the need for smaller, more specialized and efficient hospitals and outpatient facilities that more effectively accommodate those services. Procedures traditionally performed in hospitals, such as certain types of surgery, are increasingly moving to outpatient facilities driven by advances in clinical science, shifting consumer preferences, limited or inefficient space in existing hospitals and lower costs in the outpatient environment. Additionally, studies by the American Hospital Association show that outpatient visits per thousand have grown approximately 50.8% from 1993 to 2013, whereas inpatient admissions per thousand have declined 10.9%. This continuing shift in delivery of healthcare services to an outpatient environment increases the need for additional outpatient facilities and smaller, more specialized and efficient hospitals.


We believe that healthcare is delivered more cost effectively and with higher patient satisfaction when it is provided on an outpatient basis. We believe the Affordable Care Act, and healthcare market trends toward outpatient care will continue to push healthcare services out of larger, older, inefficient hospitals and into newer, more efficient and conveniently located outpatient facilities and smaller specialized hospitals. Increased specialization within the medical field is also driving demand for medical facilities that are purpose-built for particular specialties.


Evidence-Based Design Influencing Healthcare Real Estate


Evidence-based design, or EBD, is an increasingly recognized component of healthcare real estate. EBD demonstrates that there is an interrelatedness between the design of a healthcare facility and patient outcomes. EBD research indicates that certain design elements, such as efficient layouts, placement of sinks and bathrooms, orientation of furniture, size of hallways and uniformity of surgical rooms, have an important impact on productivity, safety, health and morale for both physicians and patients.


We believe that as EBD research becomes more widely recognized and reproduced, healthcare facilities without these design principles will be disadvantaged. We believe that leading medical providers will increasingly desire and require modern, purpose-built facilities with state of the art technology and efficient layouts, such as those that we own in our current portfolio. We believe that this positions us to outperform other healthcare facility owners over time.


Qualification as a REIT


Our business strategy is conducive to a more favorable tax structure whereby we may qualify and elect to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We plan to elect to be taxed as REIT under U.S. federal income tax laws commencing with our contemplated taxable year ending December 31, 2016. We believe that, commencing with 2016, we will have been organized and have operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under all of the federal income tax laws, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. We, however, cannot provide assurances that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.


In order to qualify as a REIT, a substantial percentage of the Company’s assets must be qualifying real estate assets and a substantial percentage of the Company’s income must be rental revenue from real property or interest on mortgage loans. We must elect under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) to be treated as a REIT. Subject to a number of significant exceptions, a corporation that qualifies as a REIT generally is not subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes on income and gains that it distributes to its stockholders, thereby reducing its corporate level taxes.

Competition


Our healthcare facilities often face competition from nearby hospitals and other healthcare facilities that provide comparable services. Similarly, our tenant-operators face competition from other medical practices and service providers at nearby hospitals and other healthcare facilities. From time to time and for reasons beyond our control, managed-care organizations may change their lists of preferred hospitals or in-network physicians. Physicians also may change hospital affiliations. If competitors of our tenant-operators or competitors of the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our healthcare facilities are strategically aligned have greater geographic coverage, improve access and convenience to physicians and patients, provide or are perceived to provide higher quality services, recruit physicians to provide competing services at their facilities, expand or improve their services or obtain more favorable managed-care contracts, our tenant-operators may not be able to successfully compete. Any reduction in rental revenues resulting from the inability of our tenant-operators or the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our healthcare facilities are strategically aligned to compete in providing medical services and/or receiving sufficient rates of reimbursement for healthcare services rendered may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock.


Government Regulation


The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by U.S. federal, state and local governmental authorities. Our tenant-operators generally will be subject to laws and regulations covering, among other things, licensure, and certification for participation in government programs, billing for services, privacy and security of health information and relationships with physicians and other referral sources. In addition, new laws and regulations, changes in existing laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of such laws or regulations could negatively affect our financial condition and the financial condition of our tenant-operators. These changes, in some cases, could apply retroactively. The enactment, timing or effect of legislative or regulatory changes cannot be predicted.


Many states regulate the construction of healthcare facilities, the expansion of healthcare facilities, the construction or expansion of certain services, including by way of example specific bed types and medical equipment, as well as certain capital expenditures through certificate of need, or CON, laws. Under such laws, the applicable state regulatory body must determine a need exists for a project before the project can be undertaken. If one of our tenant-operators seeks to undertake a CON-regulated project, but is not authorized by the applicable regulatory body to proceed with the project, the tenant-operator would be prevented from operating in its intended manner.


Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could adversely affect us directly and our tenant-operators’ ability to make rent payments to us, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock.


Fraud and Abuse Laws


There are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from or are in a position to make referrals in connection with government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Our lease arrangements with certain tenant-operators may also be subject to these fraud and abuse laws.


These laws include without limitation:


·

the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, the referral of any U.S. federal or state healthcare program patients;


·

the Federal Physician Self-Referral Prohibition (commonly called the “Stark Law”), which, subject to specific exceptions, restricts physicians who have financial relationships with healthcare providers from making referrals for designated health services for which payment may be made under Medicare or Medicaid programs to an entity with which the physician, or an immediate family member, has a financial relationship;


·

the False Claims Act, which prohibits any person from knowingly presenting false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government, including under the Medicare and Medicaid programs;


·

the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to impose monetary penalties for certain fraudulent acts; and



9




·

state anti-kickback, anti-inducement, anti-referral and insurance fraud laws which may be generally similar to, and potentially more expansive than, the federal laws set forth above.


Violations of these laws may result in criminal and/or civil penalties that range from punitive sanctions, damage assessments, penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid payments and/or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, the Affordable Care Act clarifies that the submission of claims for items or services generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the False Claims Act. The federal government has taken the position, and some courts have held, that violations of other laws, such as the Stark Law, can also be a violation of the False Claims Act. Additionally, certain laws, such as the False Claims Act, allow for individuals to bring whistleblower actions on behalf of the government for violations thereof. Imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenant-operators or strategic partners could jeopardize that tenant-operator’s ability to operate or to make rent payments or affect the level of occupancy in our healthcare facilities, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock. Further, we enter into leases and other financial relationships with healthcare delivery systems that are subject to or impacted by these laws. In the future we may have other investors who are healthcare providers in certain of our subsidiaries that own our healthcare facilities. If any of our relationships, including those related to the other investors in our subsidiaries, are found not to comply with these laws, we and our physician investors may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties.


Environmental Matters


Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, current and prior owners and tenant-operators of real estate may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of investigating, remediating and monitoring certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials on or in such healthcare facility. In addition to these costs, the past or present owner or tenant-operator of a healthcare facility from which a release emanates could be liable for any personal injury or property damage that results from such releases, including for the unauthorized release of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous substances into the air, as well as any damages to natural resources or the environment that arise from such releases. These environmental laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the current or prior owner or tenant-operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or release of such substances or materials. Moreover, the release of hazardous substances or materials, or the failure to properly remediate such substances or materials, may adversely affect the owner’s or tenant’s ability to lease, sell, develop or rent such healthcare facility or to borrow by using such healthcare facility as collateral. Persons who transport or arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person.


Certain environmental laws impose compliance obligations on owners and tenant-operators of real property with respect to the management of hazardous substances and other regulated materials. For example, environmental laws govern the management and removal of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties or other sanctions. If we are held liable under these laws, our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock may be adversely affected.


Medicare and Medicaid Programs


Sources of revenue for our tenant-operators typically include the U.S. federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance payors and health maintenance organizations. Healthcare providers continue to face increased government and private payor pressure to control or reduce healthcare costs and significant reductions in healthcare reimbursement, including reduced reimbursements and changes to payment methodologies under the Affordable Care Act. The Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, estimates the reductions required by the Affordable Care Act in the future will include cuts to Medicare fee-for-service payments, the majority of which will come from hospitals, and that some hospitals will become insolvent as a result of the reductions. In some cases, private insurers rely on all or portions of the Medicare payment systems to determine payment rates which may result in decreased reimbursement from private insurers. The Affordable Care Act will likely increase enrollment in plans offered by private insurers who choose to participate in state-run exchanges, but the Affordable Care Act also imposes new requirements for the health insurance industry, including prohibitions upon excluding individuals based upon pre-existing conditions which may increase private insurer costs and, thereby, cause private insurers to reduce their payment rates to providers. At this time, it is difficult to predict the full effects of the Affordable Care Act and its impact on our business, our revenues and financial condition and those of our tenant-operators due to the law’s complexity, lack of implementing regulations or interpretive guidance, gradual implementation and possible amendment. The Affordable Care Act could adversely affect the reimbursement rates received by our tenant-operators, the financial success of our tenant-operators and strategic partners and consequently us.



10




If the United States economy enters a recession or slower growth, this could negatively affect state budgets, thereby putting pressure on states to decrease spending on state programs including Medicaid. The need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in state Medicaid programs due to unemployment and declines in family incomes. Historically, states have often attempted to reduce Medicaid spending by limiting benefits and tightening Medicaid eligibility requirements. Potential reductions to Medicaid program spending in response to state budgetary pressures could negatively impact the ability of our tenant-operators to successfully operate their businesses.


Efforts by payors to reduce healthcare costs will likely continue which may result in reductions or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of our tenant-operators. A reduction in reimbursements to our tenant-operators from third-party payors for any reason could adversely affect our tenant-operators’ ability to make rent payments to us which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock.

Tennessee Facilities


On December 31, 2015, the Company acquired a six building, 52,266 square foot medical clinic portfolio for a purchase price of $20.0 million (approximately $20.2 including legal and related fees). Five of the facilities are located in Tennessee and one facility is located in Mississippi. The portfolio will be leased back through Gastroenterology Center of the Midsouth, P.C. via an absolute triple-net lease agreement that expires in 2027. The tenant has two successive options to renew the lease for five year periods on the same terms and conditions as the primary non-revocable lease term with the exception of rent, which will be computed at the same rate of escalation used during the fixed lease term. Base rent increases by 1.75% each lease year commencing on January 1, 2018. The property is owned in fee simple. Funding for the transaction and all related costs was received in the form of a convertible debenture (“Convertible Debenture”) the Company issued to its majority stockholder in the total amount of $20,900,000. Refer to Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions” for additional details regarding the funding of this transaction.


West Mifflin Facility


On September 25, 2015, the Company acquired a combined approximately 27,193 square foot surgery center and medical office building located in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania and the adjacent parking lot for approximately $11.35 million (approximately $11.6 million including legal and related fees). The facilities are operated by Associates in Ophthalmology, LTD and Associates Surgery Centers, LLC, respectively, and leased back to those entities by the Company via two separate lease agreements that expire in 2030. Each lease has two successive options by the tenants to renew for five year periods. Base rent increases by 2% each lease year commencing on October 1, 2018. The property is owned in fee simple. In connection with the acquisition of the facilities, the Company borrowed $7,377,500 from Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”) and funded the remainder of the purchase price with the proceeds from a Convertible Debenture it issued to its majority stockholder in the total amount of $4,545,838. Refer to Note 4 – “Notes Payable Related to Acquisitions” and Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions” for additional details regarding the funding of this transaction.



11




Asheville Facility


On September 19, 2014, the Company acquired an approximately 8,840 square foot medical office building known as the Orthopedic Surgery Center, located in Asheville, North Carolina for approximately $2.5 million. The Asheville facility is subject to an operating lease which expires in 2017, with lease options to renew up to five years. The property is owned in fee simple. In connection with the acquisition of the Asheville facility, the Company borrowed $1.7 million from the Bank of North Carolina and funded the remainder of the purchase price with the proceeds from a Convertible Debenture it issued to its majority stockholder and with the Company’s existing cash. Refer to Note 4 – “Notes Payable Related to Acquisitions” for additional details regarding the funding of this transaction.


Omaha Facility


On June 5, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of a 56-bed long term acute care hospital located at 1870 S 75th Street, Omaha, Nebraska for approximately $21.7 million (approximately $21.9 million including legal fees). The Omaha facility is operated by Select Specialty Hospital – Omaha, Inc. pursuant to a sublease which expires in 2023, with sub lessee options to renew up to 60 years. The real property where the Omaha facility and other improvements are located is subject to a land lease with Catholic Health Initiatives, a Colorado nonprofit corporation (the “land lease”). The land lease initially was to expire in 2023 with sub lessee options to renew up to 60 years. However, as of December 31, 2015, the Company exercised two five-year lease renewal options and therefore the land lease currently expires in 2033, subject to future renewal options by the Company. In connection with the acquisition of the Omaha facility in June 2014, the Company borrowed $15.06 million from Capital One and funded the remainder of the purchase price with funds from its majority stockholder. Refer to Note 4 – “Notes Payable Related to Acquisitions” for additional details regarding the funding of this transaction.


The Omaha facility’s obligations under the sublease with Select Specialty Hospital – Omaha, Inc. are fully guaranteed by its parent company, Select Medical Corporation (NYSE: SEM). Information about Select Medical Corporation, including its audited historical financial statements, can be obtained from its Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports and filings available on its website at http://www.selectmedical.com/ or on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this Report, and the Section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Report. As discussed in more detail in the Section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” this discussion contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.


Fiscal Year


We changed our fiscal year from August 31 to the calendar twelve months ending December 31, effective beginning with the year ended December 31, 2014. As a result, our prior fiscal period was shortened from twelve months to a four-month transition period that ended on December 31, 2014. This change in fiscal year was required based upon our intention to qualify and be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.


Overview


Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 18, 2011 under the name Scoop Media, Inc. (“Scoop Media”), which was acquired by the Hong Kong company ZH International Holdings Limited (formerly known as Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd.) in 2013. The Company changed to its current name effective January 6, 2014 in connection with its re-domestication into a Maryland corporation and change of strategy to focus on the acquisition and leasing of licensed purpose-built healthcare facilities.


The Company’s primary investor goal is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and maximize sustainable distributable cash flow. The Company’s principal investment strategy is to act on the opportunities created by the changing healthcare environment by acquiring, selectively developing and managing locally critical medical properties that are core to medical operator businesses and that meet the Company’s investment criteria. In general, the Company seeks to acquire or develop specialty medical properties in desirable markets with tenants who are expected to prosper in the changing healthcare delivery environment. The Company focuses on specialty medical properties, including medical office buildings, outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities, physical group practice clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty hospitals and treatment centers. The Company has four wholly owned Delaware limited liability subsidiaries that were formed to own the facilities within the Company’s portfolio.


On June 29, 2015, Joy Town Inc., a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, acquired a controlling interest in Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd. On September 7, 2015, Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd. changed its name to ZH International Holdings Limited.


ZH International Holdings Limited, is a Hong Kong listed company engaged in real estate development, investments, management and sales, hospitality management and investments and REIT management. ZH International Holdings Limited owns ZH USA, LLC, (formerly known as HFE USA, LLC) the Company’s majority stockholder. As of December 31, 2015, ZH USA, LLC owns an aggregate of 248,825 (or 99.5%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

On March 14, 2016, the Company entered into a series of internal agreements and transactions pursuant to which the Company has implemented an “UPREIT” operating partnership structure. The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Medical REIT GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “GP”), entered into an Agreement of Limited Partnership pursuant to which the Company serves as the initial limited partner, and the GP serves as the sole general partner, of the Company’s operating partnership, Global Medical REIT L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”) (the “Partnership Agreement”).  The Company entered into a Contribution and Assignment Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with the OP pursuant to which the Company contributed to the OP 100% of the limited liability company interests in two wholly owned subsidiaries that own certain of the Company’s properties in exchange for limited partnership units of the OP. These subsidiaries are GMR Plano, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and GMR Memphis, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.  The Company intends to contribute its ownership interests in the subsidiaries that own the Company’s other properties upon receipt of the required lender consents.


The Company is the sole member of the GP, which is the sole general partner of the OP. Going forward, the Company will conduct substantially all of its operations and make substantially all of its investments through the OP. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, though the GP, the Company will have full, complete and exclusive responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the OP, including the ability to cause the OP to enter into certain major transactions including acquisitions, dispositions, refinancings and selection of lessees, to make distributions to partners and to cause changes in the OP’s business activities.


Management Agreement


On November 10, 2014, we entered into a Management Agreement, with an effective date of April 1, 2014, with Inter-American Management, LLC (the “Advisor”), our affiliate. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for designing and implementing our business strategy and administering our business activities and day-to-day operations. For performing these services, we will pay the Advisor a base management fee equal to the greater of (a) 2.0% per annum of our net asset value (the value of our assets less the value of our liabilities), or (b) $30,000 per calendar month. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and the four months ended December 31, 2014, management fees of $360,000 and $120,000, respectively, were incurred and expensed by the Company, due to the Advisor, and remain unpaid as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 the Company expensed $400,000 and $227,000 that were paid to the Advisor for the acquisitions of the Tennessee facilities and the West Mifflin facility, respectively. For the four months ended December 31, 2014 the Company expensed $48,400 that was paid to the Advisor related to the acquisition of the Asheville facility in September 2014.


Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the footnotes to the accompanying financial statements. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



14




Income Taxes


We plan on electing to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning in 2016. REITs are generally not subject to federal income taxes if we 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. We recognize 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. We have not identified any material uncertain tax positions and recognize interest and penalties in income tax expense, if applicable. We are currently not under examination by any income tax jurisdiction.


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


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.


Revenue Recognition


The Company’s operations currently consist of rental revenue earned from three tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent, escalations, and charges to the tenant for the real estate taxes and operating expenses. The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases with contingent rental escalators revenue is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due during the period. Revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalators are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term, subject to a collectability assessment. If the Company determines that collectability of 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 consistently assesses the need for 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 also 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 no allowance was recorded as it was not deemed necessary.



15




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. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, 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, escrow deposits, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses 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.


Results of Operations


Trends Which May Influence Results of Operations


We believe the following trends in the healthcare real estate market positively affect the acquisition, ownership, development and management of healthcare real estate:


·

growing healthcare expenditures;

·

an aging population;

·

a continuing shift towards outpatient care;

·

implementation of the Affordable Care Act;

·

physician practice group and hospital consolidation;

·

healthcare industry employment growth;

·

expected monetization and modernization of healthcare real estate;

·

a highly fragmented healthcare real estate market; and

·

a limited new supply of medical office space.


Fiscal Year


We changed our fiscal year from August 31 to the calendar twelve months ending December 31, effective beginning with the year ended December 31, 2014. As a result, our prior fiscal period was shortened from twelve months to a four-month transition period that ended on December 31, 2014. This change in fiscal year was required based upon our intention to qualify and be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.


The results of operations discussed below are for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015 and for the four-month period from September 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. As a result, we do not believe that a comparison between the periods and a variance explanation related to amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flow would be meaningful to users.


As of December 31, 2015 we had four facilities in our portfolio, acquired on December 31, 2015, September 25, 2015, September 19, 2014, and June 5, 2014, respectively. The property acquired on December 31, 2015 recognized no revenue during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2014 we had the two properties that were acquired during 2014 in our portfolio.


Our revenues for these periods consisted of rent received from our medical facilities and our expenses consisted primarily of acquisition related expenses derived from the acquisitions as well as general and administrative expenses.

17




Liquidity and Capital Resources


General


Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, maintain our assets, fund our operations and make dividend distributions to our stockholders and other general business needs. Our liquidity, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. Our near-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of purchasing our target assets, restoring and leasing properties and funding our operations.


Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the acquisition and maintenance of properties; non-recurring capital expenditures; interest and principal payments on our indebtedness discussed below; payment of quarterly dividends to our stockholders to the extent declared by our Board of Directors; and general and administrative expenses. The nature of our business, our aggressive growth plans and the requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to our stockholders, may cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over the long-term. We will seek to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, property dispositions, and joint venture transactions. We have financed our operations and acquisitions to date through the funding by the majority stockholder and bank loans as discussed below. We expect to meet our operating liquidity requirements generally through cash on hand and cash provided by operations (as we acquire additional real estate assets). We anticipate that cash on hand, cash provided by operations, funding from financial institutions, and funding by our majority stockholder will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our assets are illiquid by their nature. Thus, a timely liquidation of assets might not be a viable source of short-term liquidity should a cash flow shortfall arise that causes a need for additional liquidity. It could be necessary to source liquidity from other financing alternatives should any such scenario arise.


To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income. Subject to the requirements of the Maryland General Corporation Law we intend to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders, if and to the extent authorized by our Board of Directors.


Cash Flow Information


Net cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $208,801, which was primarily derived from the net loss during the fiscal year partially offset by depreciation and amortization expense, an increase in accrued expenses, and accrued management fees. Net cash provided by operating activities for the four months ended December 31, 2014 was $129,184.


Net cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $32,338,990. Cash flows used in investing activities were derived primarily from funds used for the acquisition of our West Mifflin and Tennessee facilities. Cash flows used in investing activities are heavily dependent upon the investment in properties and real estate assets. We anticipate cash flows used in investing activities to increase as we acquire additional properties in the future. Net cash used in investing activities for the four months ended December 31, 2014 was $2,549,550.


Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $41,643,255. Cash flows provided by financing activities were derived primarily from the $34.6 million funded by our majority stockholder to fund acquisitions and a loan obtained from Capital One in the amount of $7.4 million to fund the West Mifflin acquisition. We anticipate cash flows from financing activities to increase in the future as we raise additional funds from investors and incur debt to purchase properties. Net cash provided by financing activities for the four months ended December 31, 2014 was $2,483,688.


Dividends


Pursuant to a previously declared dividend approved by the Board of Directors and in compliance with applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Company has paid a monthly dividend of $0.0852 per share, an aggregate of $21,300 per month, each month during the twelve month period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 and during the four month period from September 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. Accordingly, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 the Company paid total dividends to holders of its common stock in the amount of $255,600. During the four months ended December 31, 2014, the Company paid total dividends to holders of its common stock in the amount of $85,200.



18




The amount of the dividends to our stockholders is determined by our Board of Directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of dividends, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual dividend amount of offering proceeds that may be used to fund dividends, except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make dividend distributions that would: (i) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (ii) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences; or (iii) jeopardize our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.


Inflation


We expect to be exposed to inflation risk as income from future long-term leases will be the primary source of our cash flows from operations. We expect there to be provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that will protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions will include negotiated rental increases, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, and real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of the anticipated leases, among other factors, the leases may not re-set frequently enough to off-set the impact of inflation.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Medical REIT Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from September 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited financial statement schedule III.  These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule 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 an 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 audit 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Medical REIT Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from September 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

GLOBAL MEDICAL REIT INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 – Organization


Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 18, 2011 under the name Scoop Media, Inc. (“Scoop Media”), which was acquired by the Hong Kong company ZH International Holdings Limited (formerly known as Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd.) in 2013. The Company changed to its current name effective January 6, 2014 in connection with its re-domestication into a Maryland corporation and change of strategy to focus on the acquisition and leasing of licensed purpose-built healthcare facilities.


The Company’s primary investor goal is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and maximize sustainable distributable cash flow. The Company’s principal investment strategy is to act on the opportunities created by the changing healthcare environment by acquiring, selectively developing and managing locally critical medical properties that are core to medical operator businesses and that meet the Company’s investment criteria. In general, the Company seeks to acquire or develop specialty medical properties in desirable markets with tenants who are expected to prosper in the changing healthcare delivery environment. The Company focuses on specialty medical properties, including medical office buildings, outpatient treatment and diagnostic facilities, physical group practice clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty hospitals and treatment centers. The Company has four wholly owned Delaware limited liability company subsidiaries that were formed to own the facilities within the Company’s portfolio. The wholly owned subsidiaries are as follows: GMR Memphis, LLC; GMR Pittsburgh, LLC; GMR Asheville, LLC, and GMR Omaha, LLC.


On June 29, 2015, Joy Town Inc., a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, acquired a controlling interest in Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd. On September 7, 2015, Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd. changed its name to ZH International Holdings Limited.


ZH International Holdings Limited, is a Hong Kong listed company engaged in real estate development, investments, management and sales, hospitality management and investments and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) management. ZH International Holdings Limited owns ZH USA, LLC, (formerly known as HFE USA, LLC) the Company’s majority stockholder. As of December 31, 2015, ZH USA, LLC owns an aggregate of 248,825 (or 99.5%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock.


Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Fiscal Year


The Company changed its fiscal year from August 31 to the calendar twelve months ending December 31, effective beginning with the year ended December 31, 2014. As a result, the Company’s prior fiscal period was shortened from twelve months to a four-month transition period that began on September 1, 2014 and ended on December 31, 2014. The Company’s change in fiscal year was required based upon the Company’s intention to qualify and be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.


Consolidation Policy


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. See Note 1 – “Organization” for the names of our wholly owned subsidiaries.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



25




Presentation of Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs as Debt Discount


On April 7, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 entitled “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). Debt issuance 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. In accordance with the provisions of ASU 2015-03, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability must be reclassified and presented as a debt discount in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The application of ASU 2015-03 is required to be applied retrospectively. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-03 effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 represents a change in accounting principal. See Note 4 – “Notes Payable Related to Acquisition” for additional details.


Income Taxes


The Company plans on electing to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning in 2016. REITs are generally not subject to federal income taxes if the Company can meet many specific requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and the Company may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state or local income taxes, and if the Company creates 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


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


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 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


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 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.



26




Restricted Cash


Restricted cash represents cash required by a third party lender to be held by the Company as a reserve for debt service.


Escrow Deposits


Escrow deposits include funds held in escrow to be used for the acquisition of future properties.


Deferred Assets


The deferred asset balance of $93,646 as of December 31, 2015, consists of $23,295 in deferred rent receivable and $70,351 in deferred costs related to the Company’s securities offering. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 340, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs,” the Company is deferring specific incremental costs directly attributable to its offering of equity securities and will charge them against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.


Revenue Recognition


The Company’s operations currently consist of rental revenue earned from three tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent, escalations, and charges to the tenant for the real estate taxes and operating expenses. The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases with contingent rental escalators revenue is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due during the period. Revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalators are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term, subject to a collectability assessment. If the Company determines that collectability of 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 consistently assesses the need for 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 also 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 no allowance was recorded as it was not deemed necessary.


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 properties. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its investments on an individual asset level basis.


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. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, 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, escrow deposits, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses 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.



27




Related Party Disclosures


The Company enters into transactions with affiliated entities, or “related parties,” which are recorded net as “Due to Related Parties” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Related party disclosures are governed by ASC Topic 850, “Related Party Disclosures.” Refer to Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions” for additional information regarding the Company’s related party transactions.


Net Loss Per Share


The Company calculates basic and diluted loss per share using the weighted average common shares outstanding. The Company has no issued and outstanding non-vested shares of common stock and therefore no dilutive effects of non-vested shares and accordingly the Company’s calculation and the resulting amount of basic and diluted loss per share are identical.


Reclassification


The Company reclassified $197,719 from the line item “Cash and Cash Equivalents” in its accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 into the line item “Restricted Cash” to properly reflect the Company’s funds that are restricted. The Company also reclassified $572,400 from the line item “Building and Improvements” in its accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 into the line item “Land” to properly reflect the asset balances related to the acquisition of the Asheville facility in 2014.

Tennessee Facilities


On December 31, 2015, the Company acquired a six building, 52,266 square foot medical clinic portfolio for a purchase price of $20.0 million (approximately $20.2 including legal and related fees). Five of the facilities are located in Tennessee and one facility is located in Mississippi. The portfolio will be leased back through Gastroenterology Center of the Midsouth, P.C. via an absolute triple-net lease agreement that expires in 2027. The tenant has two successive options to renew the lease for five year periods on the same terms and conditions as the primary non-revocable lease term with the exception of rent, which will be computed at the same rate of escalation used during the fixed lease term. Base rent increases by 1.75% each lease year commencing on January 1, 2018. The property is owned in fee simple. Funding for the transaction and all related costs was received in the form of a convertible debenture (“Convertible Debenture”) the Company issued to its majority stockholder in the total amount of $20,900,000. Refer to Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions” for additional details regarding the funding of this transaction.

The facilities are operated by Associates in Ophthalmology, LTD and Associates Surgery Centers, LLC, respectively, and leased back to those entities by the Company via two separate lease agreements that expire in 2030. Each lease has two successive options by the tenants to renew for five year periods. Base rent increases by 2% each lease year commencing on October 1, 2018. The property is owned in fee simple. In connection with the acquisition of the facilities, the Company borrowed $7,377,500 from Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”) and funded the remainder of the purchase price with the proceeds from a Convertible Debenture it issued to its majority stockholder in the total amount of $4,545,838.

On June 5, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of a 56-bed long term acute care hospital located at 1870 S 75th Street, Omaha, Nebraska for approximately $21.7 million (approximately $21.9 million including legal fees). The Omaha facility is operated by Select Specialty Hospital – Omaha, Inc. pursuant to a sublease which expires in 2023, with sub lessee options to renew up to 60 years. The real property where the Omaha facility and other improvements are located are subject to a land lease with Catholic Health Initiatives, a Colorado nonprofit corporation (the “land lease”). The land lease initially was to expire in 2023 with sub lessee options to renew up to 60 years. However, as of December 31, 2015, the Company exercised two five-year lease renewal options and therefore the land lease currently expires in 2033, subject to future renewal options by the Company. In connection with the acquisition of the Omaha facility in June 2014, the Company borrowed $15.06 million from Capital One and funded the remainder of the purchase price with funds from its majority stockholder. Refer to Note 4 – “Notes Payable Related to Acquisitions” for additional details regarding the funding of this transaction.


Depreciation expense was $659,671 and $200,499 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and the four months ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies


Litigation


The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company, which if determined unfavorably to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


Environmental Matters


The Company follows a policy of monitoring its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at its properties, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to its properties that would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, the Company is not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that management believes would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Note 10 – Income Taxes


For the 2016 tax year, the Company is planning to elect and qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that the Company distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its stockholders. It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements and be eligible to be a REIT for the year ended December 31, 2016. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income currently distributed to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT for the 2016 tax year, it will be subject to federal and state income taxes at corporate tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies to be taxed as a REIT for 2016, it may be subject to federal and state taxes on any undistributed taxable income. For the 2016 tax year, the Company intends to distribute all of its taxable income; therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements.


Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,352,000, which begin expiring in 2028. The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC Topic 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for non-capital losses carried forward. The potential benefit of the net operating loss has not been recognized in these financial statements because it cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the loss carried forward in future years.


Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, after applying enacted corporate income tax rates, are as follows:

The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible profits. As a result of this analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company concluded that it is not likely that its net deferred tax assets will ultimately be recovered; as such, it recorded a valuation allowance for the net operating loss and a reserve due to the anticipated REIT election for calendar year 2016.


The Company follows ASC Topic 740 to recognize, measure, present and disclose in our consolidated financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions that it believes should be recognized in its financial statements. The Company is not subject and has not been subject to any federal or state income tax examinations.


Note 11 – Subsequent Events


Completed Property Acquisition Subsequent to December 31, 2015

Loan payments will consist of both and interest and principal pay down component. The Company will begin making loan payments on March 10, 2016, and on the tenth day of each calendar month thereafter.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related information. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in material respects, our financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an ineffective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with our management and directors’ authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention of or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Under the supervision of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission published in 1992 and subsequent guidance prepared by SEC specifically for smaller reporting companies. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2015.


Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


As of December 31, 2014, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to an identified material weakness. The material weakness related to a lack of controls over the preparation and filing of our Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2014, that resulted in the Form 10-Q not being filed by the required deadline, due to the Company’s misinterpretation of the transitional filing requirements related to the changing of the Company’s fiscal year end to a calendar year end. This material weakness was an event isolated to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 as the transitional filing requirements were not applicable for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.



38






No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


Directors and Executive Officers


As a Maryland corporation, we operate under the oversight of our Board of Directors. Each of our directors serves until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until her or his successor is duly elected and qualified. Any director may resign at any time and may be removed by the stockholders for cause upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting called for the purpose of the proposed removal. Unless filled by a vote of the stockholders as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors or the death, resignation, removal, adjudicated incompetence or other incapacity of a director may be filled by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors.


We are an “externally managed” REIT, which means that we have contracted with our Advisor to manage our day-to-day affairs and the acquisition and disposition of our assets, subject to our board’s supervision. Although our Board of Directors will make the ultimate decision with respect to the purchase and sale of properties, each of the members of our current Board of Directors is also an employee, member of the Board, or a member of the board of the entity that controls our Advisor, or holds a number of these positions. Our management agreement states that our Advisor shall have the right to nominate and place one director with the Company and that Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd shall have the right to nominate and place two directors with the Company. The management agreement also states that the Company shall have a cap of seven directors. Our Advisor is currently waiving the requirement that the Company have a cap of seven directors.


If we apply for listing on a national exchange, we would be required to restructure our board so that a majority of its members are “independent” in accordance with the listing standards of the national exchange on which our common stock becomes listed, meaning that, among other things, a majority of our directors would be required to be unaffiliated with our Advisor and its members.


As of December 31, 2015, we had nine directors. The following table provides information about our directors and executive officers as of December 31, 2015.

None of our directors is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:


·

understands generally U.S. GAAP and financial statements,


·

is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,


·

has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,


·

understands internal controls over financial reporting, and


·

understands audit committee functions.


Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings


To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement. Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics


As a non-listed company, we are not required to have, and we currently do not have, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; however, we intend to adopt a code of ethics during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934


Since none of our securities have been registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock are not required to file Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reports.


ITEM 11.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


Executive Compensation


Because our management agreement provides that our Advisor is responsible for managing our affairs, our executive officers, who are all employees of our Advisor, do not receive cash compensation directly from us for serving as our executive officers. However, in their capacities as officers or employees of our Advisor, or its affiliates, they devote a portion of their time to our affairs as is required for the performance of the duties of our Advisor under the management agreement.


Our Advisor compensates each of our executive officers. We do not pay or provide benefits, nor do we reimburse the cost of any compensation or benefits paid by our Advisor or its affiliates to our executive officers and directors. We pay our Advisor a management fee, and our Advisor uses the proceeds from the management fee in part to pay compensation to its officers and employees. Our Advisor has informed us that, because the services performed by these officers or employees in their capacities as such are performed in a significant part, but not exclusively, for us, it cannot segregate and identify that portion of the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our executive officers by our Advisor that relates solely to their services to us.


Tabular presentation that sets forth certain compensation information for: (i) our principal executive officer or other individual serving in a similar capacity during our fiscal year ended December 15, 2015; (ii) our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2015 whose compensation exceed $100,000; and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been required but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer at December 31, 2015, is not presented for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, as the amount of services dedicated to the Company by these executives resulted in immaterial compensation.


There are no stock option plans, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and director other than as described herein.


Equity Awards


We have not awarded any shares of stock, options or other equity securities to our directors or executive officers since our inception. We have not adopted any equity incentive plan. There were no grants of stock options since inception.


The Board of Directors has not adopted a stock incentive plan. If such a plan is adopted, this may be administered by the board or a committee appointed by the board. The committee would have the power to modify, extend or renew outstanding options and to authorize the grant of new options in substitution therefore, provided that any such action may not impair any rights under any option previously granted. The Company may develop an incentive based stock option plan for its officers and directors and may reserve up to 10% of its outstanding shares of common stock for that purpose.


Director Compensation


Our directors are not compensated for their services. All our directors are compensated by affiliates of the Company or our Advisor. The board has not implemented a plan to award options to our directors. There are no contractual arrangements with any member of the Board of Directors. We have no director's service contracts.


Employment Contracts


We have no employment contracts with any of our officers or directors.



46






Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards


We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.


Indemnification


Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.


Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.


ITEM 12.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Allocated General and Administrative Expenses


In the future, the Company may receive an allocation of general and administrative expenses from the Advisor that are either clearly applicable to or were reasonably allocated to the operations of the properties. There were no allocated general and administrative expenses from the Advisor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 or for the four months ended December 31, 2014.


Convertible Debenture, due to Majority Stockholder


The Company has received funds from its majority stockholder ZH USA, LLC in the form of convertible interest bearing (8% per annum, payable in arrears) due on demand unsecured debt, which are classified as “Convertible debenture, due to majority stockholder” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company may prepay the note at any time, in whole or in part. ZH USA, LLC may elect to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the note into shares of common stock in an amount equal to the principal amount of the note, together with accrued but unpaid interest, divided by $12.748.


A rollforward of the funding from ZH USA, LLC classified as convertible debenture, due to majority stockholder as of December 31, 2015 is as follows:

The Company analyzed the conversion option in the convertible debenture for derivative accounting treatment under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting. The Company therefore performed an analysis in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” to determine if the conversion option was subject to a beneficial conversion feature and determined that the instrument does not have a beneficial conversion feature.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and the four months ended December 31, 2014, management fees of $360,000 and $120,000, respectively, were incurred and expensed by the Company, due to the Advisor, and remain unpaid as of December 31, 2015.
