CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, healthcare facility performance and results of operations, among others, contain forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology including, but not limited to, “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

 

Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

·our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;

 

·fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;

 

·our ability to deploy the debt and equity capital we raise;

 

·our ability to raise additional equity and debt capital on terms that are attractive or at all;

 

·our ability to make distributions on shares of our common stock;

 

·general volatility of the market price of our common stock;

 

·our lack of significant operating history;

 

·changes in our business or strategy;

 

·our dependence upon key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed;

 

·our ability to identify, hire and retain highly qualified personnel in the future;

 

·the degree and nature of our competition;

 

·changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters;

 

·defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenant-operators;

 

·decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

 

·difficulties in identifying healthcare facilities to acquire and completing acquisitions;

 

·competition for investment opportunities;

 

·our failure to successfully develop, integrate and operate acquired healthcare facilities and operations;

 

·the financial condition and liquidity of, or disputes with, joint venture and development partners with whom we may make co-investments in the future;

 

·changes in accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP;”

 

·lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;

 

·other factors affecting the real estate industry generally;

 

·our failure to qualify and maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

·limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

On March 14, 2016, 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 “Operating Partnership”). The Company has contributed all of its healthcare facilities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership and intends to conduct all future acquisition activity and operations through the Operating Partnership.

On June 13, 2016, in anticipation of the Company’s initial public offering, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended and restated, the “Bylaws”), effective on that date.

  (h) Litigation regarding internal actions be brought in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland (or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division).

 

On June 28, 2016, the Company, the Advisor, and Global Medical REIT L.P. entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Wunderlich Securities, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the offer and sale of the Company’s common stock in its initial public offering. As disclosed in Note 10, “Subsequent Events,” on July 1, 2016, the Company closed its initial public offering and issued 13,043,479 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $130,434,790. After deducting underwriting discounts, advisory fees, and commissions of $9,661,160, the Company received net proceeds from the offering of $120,773,630. Additionally, on July 11, 2016 the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, resulting in the issuance by the Company of an additional 1,956,521 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $19,565,210. After deducting underwriting discounts, advisory fees, and commissions of $1,369,565, the Company received net proceeds from the over-allotment option shares of $18,195,645. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the offering were approximately $1,581,259. As disclosed in Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” these transaction costs have been deferred and are recorded as a deferred asset on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016. Total shares issued by the Company in the initial public offering, including over-allotment option shares, were 15,000,000.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made.

 

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 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents cash required by a third party lender to be held by the Company as a reserve for debt service and a security deposit received from one of the Company’s tenants. The restricted cash balance as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $977,578 and $447,627, respectively, an increase of $529,951. This increase resulted primarily from a security deposit received on the Plano lease that was executed on January 28, 2016 of $319,499 as well as from an increase in restricted funds of $210,452 related to the West Mifflin and Omaha facility loans with Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”).

 

Escrow Deposits

 

Escrow deposits include funds held in escrow to be used for the acquisition of future properties as well as for the payment of taxes, insurance, and other amounts as stipulated by the Company’s third party loan agreements. The escrow balance as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $945,162 and $454,310, respectively, an increase of $490,852. This increase resulted primarily from required escrow deposits for taxes and insurance in the amount of $835,162 related to the Cantor Loan that was secured on March 31, 2016, partially offset by $344,310 in escrow funds that were expended to acquire three facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Refer to Note 3 – “Property Portfolio” and Note 4 – “Notes Payable Related to Acquisitions,” respectively, for information regarding the three facilities acquired and details regarding the Cantor Loan.

 

Deferred Assets

 

The deferred asset balance of $1,735,973 as of June 30, 2016, consisted of $154,714 in deferred rent receivable and $1,581,259 in deferred transaction costs related to the Company’s initial public offering. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“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. The deferred rent receivable balance was $23,295 at December 31, 2015, resulting in an increase of $131,419 during the current six-month period. The deferred transaction cost balance was $70,351 at December 31, 2015, resulting in an increase of $1,510,908 during the current six-month period, of which $358,365 was paid in cash and $1,152,543 was included as accrued expenses as of June 30, 2016.

 

Security Deposit Liability

 

The security deposit liability as of June 30, 2016 represents funds deposited by the Plano facility at the inception of its lease. See Note 3 – “Property Portfolio” for additional information regarding the Plano facility acquisition.

Plano Facility

 

On January 28, 2016, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement with an unrelated party Star Medreal, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, to acquire an approximately 24,000 square foot, eight bed acute hospital facility located in Plano, Texas, along with all real property and improvements thereto for approximately $17.5 million (approximately $17.7 including legal and related fees). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company was obligated to pay a development fee of $500,000 to Lumin, LLC at closing. The property has been leased back via an absolute triple-net lease agreement that expires in 2036. The tenant will be Star Medical Center, LLC and Lumin Health, LLC will serve as guarantor. Lumin Health, LLC is an affiliate and management company for Star Medical Center, LLC. The tenant has two successive options to renew the lease for ten 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 then prevailing fair market value as determined by an appraisal process defined in the lease. The terms of the lease also provide for a tenant allowance up to $2.75 million for a 6,400 square foot expansion to be paid by the Company.

 

Also on January 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Promissory Note and Deed of Trust with East West Bank to borrow a total of $9,223,500. Deferred financing costs of $53,280 were incurred and capitalized by the Company in securing this loan. The loan was scheduled to mature on January 28, 2021, five years from the closing date. At closing the Company paid the lender a non-refundable deposit of $50,000 and a non-refundable commitment fee of $46,118. The loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (as quoted in the "Money Rates" column of The Wall Street Journal (Western Edition), rounded to two decimal places, as it may change from time to time, plus 0.50%, but not less than 4.0%. Interest expense of $65,576 was incurred on this note for the six months ended June 30, 2016, prior to its repayment.

For performing these services, the Company is obligated to pay the Advisor a base management fee equal to the greater of (a) 2.0% per annum of the Company’s net asset value (the value of the Company’s assets less the value of the Company’s liabilities), or (b) $30,000 per calendar month. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, management fees of $90,000 and $180,000, respectively were incurred and expensed by the Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, management fees of $90,000 and $180,000, respectively were incurred and expensed by the Company.

Note 10 – Subsequent Events

 

Initial Public Offering

 

On June 28, 2016, the Company, the Advisor, and Global Medical REIT L.P. entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Wunderlich Securities, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the offer and sale of the Company’s common stock in its initial public offering. On July 1, 2016, the Company closed its initial public offering and issued 13,043,479 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $130,434,790. After deducting underwriting discounts, advisory fees, and commissions of $9,661,160, the Company received net proceeds from the offering of $120,773,630. Additionally, on July 11, 2016, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, resulting in the issuance by the Company of an additional 1,956,521 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $19,565,210. After deducting underwriting discounts, advisory fees, and commissions of $1,369,565, the Company received net proceeds from the over-allotment option shares of $18,195,645. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the offering were approximately $1,581,259. Total shares issued by the Company in the initial public offering, including over-allotment option shares, were 15,000,000.

 

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company’s common stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GMRE.”

 

Use of Proceeds:

 

·approximately $14.9 million ($14.6 million in principal and an early termination fee of $0.3 million) to repay the outstanding mortgage loan from Capital One encumbering our Omaha Facility, which bears interest at an annual rate of 4.9%;
·$10.0 million to repay a portion of our outstanding 8.0% convertible debentures held by ZH USA, LLC; and
·approximately $9.2 million in aggregate to acquire the Wyomissing Facilities on July 20, 2016 (see the “Property Acquisition” section below.
·$1.5 million to repay the outstanding interest free loan from ZH USA, LLC due upon completion of the initial public offering; and
·the remaining approximately $84.2 million for the acquisition of properties in the Company’s investment pipeline, properties under letter of intent and other potential acquisitions, capital improvements to the Company’s properties and general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

The Company has invested the unexpended net proceeds of the offering in interest-bearing accounts, money market accounts and interest-bearing securities in a manner that is consistent with our intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT.

 

Amended Management Agreement

 

Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on July 1, 2016, the Company’s amended and restated management agreement became effective. Terms of the amended and restated management agreement are as follows:

 

Term and Termination

 

The initial term of the amended and restated management agreement will expire on the third anniversary of the closing date of the initial public offering and will automatically renew for an unlimited number of successive one year periods thereafter, unless the agreement is not renewed or is terminated in accordance with its terms. If the Company’s board of directors decides to terminate or not renew the amended and restated management agreement, the Company will generally be required to pay the advisor a termination fee equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee and the average annual incentive compensation with respect to the previous eight fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter prior to termination. Subsequent to the initial term, the Company may terminate the management agreement only under certain circumstances.

 

Base Management Fee

 

The Company will pay its advisor a base management fee in an amount equal to: 1.5% of its stockholders’ equity per annum, calculated quarterly for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and payable in quarterly installments in arrears.

 

For purposes of calculating the base management fee, the Company’s stockholders’ equity means: (a) the sum of (1) the Company stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2016, (2) the aggregate amount of the conversion price (including interest) for the conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures into common stock and OP units upon completion of the initial public offering, and (3) the net proceeds from (or equity value assigned to) all issuances of equity and equity equivalent securities (including common stock, common stock equivalents, preferred stock, LTIP units and OP units issued by the Company or the Operating Partnership) in the initial public offering, or in any subsequent offering (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance), less (b) any amount that the Company pays to repurchase shares of its common stock or equity securities of the OP. Stockholders’ equity also excludes (1) any unrealized gains and losses and other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization) that have impacted stockholders’ equity as reported in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (2) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP, and certain non-cash items not otherwise described above, in each case after discussions between the Company’s advisor and its independent directors and approval by a majority of the Company’s independent directors. As a result, the Company’s stockholders’ equity, for purposes of calculating the base management fee, could be greater or less than the amount of stockholders’ equity shown on its financial statements.

 

- 18 -

 

 

The base management fee of the advisor shall be calculated within 30 days after the end of each quarter and such calculation shall be promptly delivered to the Company. The Company is obligated to pay the quarterly installment of the base management fee calculated for that quarter in cash within five business days after delivery to the Company of the written statement of the advisor setting forth the computation of the base management fee for such quarter.

 

Incentive Compensation Fee

 

The Company will pay its advisor an incentive fee with respect to each calendar quarter (or part thereof that the management agreement is in effect) in arrears. The incentive fee will be an amount, not less than zero, equal to the difference between (1) the product of (x) 20% and (y) the difference between (i) the Company’s AFFO (as defined below) for the previous 12-month period, and (ii) the product of (A) the weighted average of the issue price of equity securities issued in the initial public offering and in future offerings and transactions, multiplied by the weighted average number of all shares of common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (including any restricted stock units, any restricted shares of common stock, OP units, LTIP units, and shares of common stock underlying awards granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan or any future plan in the previous 12-month period, and (B) 8%, and (2) the sum of any incentive fee paid to the advisor with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period; provided, however, that no incentive fee is payable with respect to any calendar quarter unless AFFO is greater than zero for the four most recently completed calendar quarters, or the number of completed calendar quarters since the closing date of the offering, whichever is less. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee during the first 12 months after completion of the offering, AFFO will be determined by annualizing the applicable period following completion of the offering.

 

AFFO is calculated by adjusting the Company’s funds from operations, or FFO, by adding back acquisition and disposition costs, stock based compensation expenses, amortization of deferred financing costs and any other non-recurring or non-cash expenses, which are costs that do not relate to the operating performance of the Company’s properties, and subtracting loss on extinguishment of debt, straight line rent adjustment, recurring tenant improvements, recurring leasing commissions and recurring capital expenditures.

 

2016 Equity Incentive Plan

 

Prior to the completion of the initial public offering on July 1, 2016, our board of directors approved and adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The purposes of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan is to attract and retain qualified persons upon whom, in large measure, our sustained progress, growth and profitability depend, to motivate the participants to achieve long-term company goals and to more closely align the participants’ interests with those of our other stockholders by providing them with a proprietary interest in our growth and performance. Our executive officers, employees, employees of our advisor and its affiliates, consultants and non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, a number of shares of our common stock equal to 7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis upon the completion of the initial public offering (including 7% of the shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, are available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, less the shares underlying the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) grants awarded upon completion of the initial public offering. Specifically, an aggregate of 358,250 LTIP units were granted upon completion of the offering on July 1, 2016 pursuant to the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, an aggregate of 874,147 additional shares are available for future issuance under our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, or 7% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of our common stock upon completion of the initial public offering, including the underwriters’ over-allotment option, which was exercised in full on July 11, 2016.

 

Shares subject to awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, lapsed, settled in cash or otherwise expired (excluding shares withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations) will again be available for awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by our compensation committee, which will interpret the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and have broad discretion to select the eligible persons to whom awards will be granted, as well as the type, size and terms and conditions of each award, including the exercise price of options, the number of shares subject to awards and the expiration date of, and the vesting schedule or other restrictions (including, without limitation, restrictive covenants) applicable to, awards.

Each of these recent developments is disclosed in additional detail in Note 10 – “Subsequent Events” within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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 healthcare real estate.

 

Components of the Company’s Revenues, Expenses and Cash Flows

 

Revenues

 

Rental Revenues

 

Our operations currently consist of rental revenue earned from our tenant-operators under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent, escalations, and charges to the tenant-operator 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 period, subject to a collectability assessment. If we determine 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.

 

Expenses

 

Acquisition fees – related party

 

Acquisition fees represent an expense incurred for a fee paid by us to the Advisor for each acquisition in connection with the terms of the Management Agreement. In accordance with the provisions of the amended and restated management agreement, which became effective July 1, 2016, acquisition fees will no longer be charged to the Company by the Advisor.

 

- 22 -

 

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expense primarily includes professional fees and services (legal and accounting), general office expenses, ground rent related to the Omaha facility, and travel and related expenses.

 

Management fees – related party

 

In accordance with the terms of the current Management Agreement between us and the Advisor, we 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. Historically this fee has resulted in a monthly charge to us of $30,000. Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on July 1, 2016, the Company’s amended and restated management agreement, which was approved by the Company’s board of directors on June 13, 2016, became effective. Refer to Note 10 – “Subsequent Events” for details regarding the amended and restated management agreement.

 

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.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense is derived from interest incurred on our borrowings from third party institutional lenders as well as borrowings from our majority stockholder, the funds of which were primarily used to fund acquisitions. Additionally, the amortization of deferred financing costs (debt discount) incurred to obtain third party financing is classified as interest expense.

 

Cash Flow

 

Cash flows from operating activities

 

Cash flows from operating activities primarily represent activities related to us conducting our normal business activities and generally reflect the impact of transactions that enter into the determination of our net income or loss.

 

Cash flows from investing activities

 

Cash flows from investing activities primarily represent activities related to us acquiring healthcare facilities, plants, and equipment and making and collecting loans from other entities.

 

Cash flows from financing activities

 

Cash flows from financing activities primarily represent activities related to us borrowing and subsequently repaying funds from other entities as well as providing stockholders with a return on investment primarily in the form of a dividend payment.

 

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.

 

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 have organized and have operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under all of the U.S. federal income tax laws, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. However, we cannot provide assurances that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

 

- 23 -

 

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, a substantial percentage of our assets must be qualifying real estate assets and a substantial percentage of our 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.

 

Management Agreement

 

On November 10, 2014, we entered into a Management Agreement, with an effective date of April 1, 2014, with the Advisor. Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on July 1, 2016, the Company’s amended and restated management agreement became effective. Refer to Note 10 – “Subsequent Events” for details regarding the amended and restated management agreement.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 to be the most critical to understanding complex judgments involved and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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,” which requires the purchase price of acquired properties be allocated to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, and any identified intangible assets. Acquisition fees are 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, we utilize our own market knowledge and published market data. In this regard, we also utilize information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building. We utilize 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

 

We evaluate our 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 record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

Revenue Recognition

 

Our operations currently consist of rental revenue earned from 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 we determine 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.

 

We consistently assess 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. We also monitor the liquidity and creditworthiness of our 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, our assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants may 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.

 

We consider 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.

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

The major factor that resulted in variances in our results of operations for each revenue and expense category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is due to the fact that as of June 30, 2016 our portfolio consisted of facilities from a total of seven acquisitions, whereas as of June 30, 2015 only two of the seven acquisitions had occurred.

 

As of June 30, 2016 the Company had the following properties in its portfolio from seven acquisitions:

 

·Melbourne (acquired March 31, 2016)
·Westland (acquired March 31, 2016)
·Plano (acquired January 28, 2016)
·Tennessee facilities (acquired December 31, 2015)
·West Mifflin (acquired September 25, 2015)
·Asheville (acquired September 19, 2014)
·Omaha (acquired June 5, 2014)

 

As of June 30, 2015 the Company had the following properties in its portfolio from two acquisitions:

 

·Asheville (acquired September 19, 2014)
·Omaha (acquired June 5, 2014)

Revenues

 

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $1,770,659, compared to $455,900 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $1,314,759. The increase is the result of rental revenue derived from the base rental receipts from the additional facilities that we acquired and were included as part of our portfolio during the current three-month period. The corresponding period during 2015 only included the results from the Omaha and Asheville facilities.

 

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $3,084,718, compared to $918,038 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $2,166,680. The increase is the result of rental revenue derived from the base rental receipts from the additional facilities that we acquired and were included as part of our portfolio during the current six-month period. The corresponding period during 2015 only included the results from the Omaha and Asheville facilities.

 

Acquisition Fees – related party

 

No acquisition fees were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 as the Company made no acquisitions during those periods.

 

Acquisition fees for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $754,000, compared with no acquisition fees incurred for the same period in 2015, as no acquisitions occurred during the comparable prior six-month period. The $754,000 of current six-month period acquisition fees consisted of $350,000, $309,000 and $95,000 that were expensed in connection with the acquisitions of the Plano, Melbourne, and Westland Facilities, respectively. The acquisition fee was computed as 2% of the purchase price of the facility. Under the amended and restated management agreement between the Company and the Advisor, which became effective on July 1, 2016, the Company will no longer be required to pay acquisition fees.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $368,210, compared with $76,474 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $291,736. The increase is primarily a result of increases in accounting and compliance costs associated with audit requirements related to the acquired properties and a general increase in this expense category as a result of the additional facilities that we acquired and were included as part of our portfolio during the current three-month period.

 

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $1,256,739, compared with $140,781 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $1,115,958. The increase is primarily a result of a $500,000 development fee incurred in connection with the Plano acquisition, increases in accounting and compliance costs primarily associated with audit requirements related to the acquired properties, and a general increase in this expense category as a result of the additional facilities that we acquired and were included as part of our portfolio during the current six-month period.

 

Management Fees – related party

 

Management fees for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were $90,000. This management fee is based upon the terms of the original Management Agreement we entered into with our Advisor effective as of April 1, 2014.

 

Management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were $180,000. This management fee is based upon the terms of the original Management Agreement we entered into with our Advisor effective as of April 1, 2014.

 

Depreciation Expense

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $544,002, compared with $141,007 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $402,995. The increase is a result of depreciation expense incurred related to the additional facilities that we acquired and were included as part of our portfolio during the current three-month period.

 

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $942,832, compared with $293,343 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $649,489. The increase is a result of depreciation expense incurred related to the additional facilities that we acquired and were included as part of our portfolio during the current six-month period.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $1,262,646, compared with $280,846 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $981,800. The increase is primarily a result of interest expense incurred on the additional third party debt and borrowings from our majority stockholder that we procured related to facilities that we acquired. The increase also results from debt discount amortization related to the additional deferred financing costs (recorded as debt discount) incurred on the debt we procured.

 

- 26 -

 

 

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $2,391,909, compared with $624,888 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $1,767,021. The increase is primarily a result of interest expense incurred on the additional third party debt and borrowings from our majority stockholder that we procured during the current six-month period related to facilities that we acquired. The increase also results from debt discount amortization related to the additional deferred financing costs (recorded as debt discount) incurred on the debt we procured.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

We believe that our initial public offering has strengthened our financial position by allowing us to reduce our leverage and increasing our stockholders’ equity and available cash. Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, including:

 

property expenses,
interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness,
general and administrative expenses, and acquisition expenses.

 

In addition, we will require funds for future distributions expected to be paid to our common stockholders and OP unit holders in our operating partnership following completion of the initial public offering.

 

We expect to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities, the proceeds of the initial public offering, and future borrowings under any other debt instruments we may enter into.

 

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures, scheduled debt maturities and general and administrative expenses. We expect to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, sales of additional equity securities, and, in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, the issuance of OP units of our operating partnership, and proceeds from select property dispositions and joint venture transactions.

 

We intend to invest in additional properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We currently are evaluating additional potential acquisitions consistent with the normal course of our business. There can be no assurance as to whether or when any portion of these acquisitions will be completed. Our ability to complete acquisitions is subject to a number of risks and variables, including our ability to negotiate mutually agreeable terms with sellers and our ability to finance the acquisitions. We may not be successful in identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions, which may impede our growth and negatively affect our results of operations and may result in the use of a significant amount of management resources. We expect that future acquisitions of properties will depend on and will be financed, in whole or in part, by our existing cash, borrowings, including under any potential senior secured credit facility that we may enter into or the proceeds from additional issuances and sales of common stock, issuances and sales of preferred stock, issuances of OP units or the issuance and sale of other securities.

 

We currently do not expect to sell any of our properties to meet our liquidity needs, although we may do so in the future.

 

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.

 

Indebtedness

 

Our facilities have been financed through a combination of third-party debt and funding received from our majority stockholder. A detail of our notes payable balances from third-party lenders, net of unamortized debt discount, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

 

   June 30, 2016   December 31, 2015 
Notes payable related to acquisitions, gross  $55,698,783   $23,788,065 
Less: Unamortized debt discount   (1,240,126)   (302,892)
Notes payable related to acquisitions, net  $54,458,657   $23,485,173 

 

We have also received funds from our majority stockholder ZH USA, LLC in the form of convertible interest bearing notes (8% per annum, payable in arrears) due on demand unsecured debt. We 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.

 

- 27 -

 

 

A rollforward of the funding from ZH USA, LLC as of June 30, 2016 is as follows:

 

Balance as of January 1, 2016  $40,030,134 
Conversion of convertible debenture to common shares (a)   (15,000,000)
Balance as of June 30, 2016  $25,030,134 

 

(a)On March 2, 2016, ZH USA, LLC converted $15,000,000 of principal under the Convertible Debenture into 1,176,656 shares of the Company’s unregistered common stock.

 

On June 15, 2016, in anticipation of its initial public offering, the Company entered into a Pay-Off Letter and Conversion Agreement (the “Pay-Off Letter and Conversion Agreement”) with the Company’s majority stockholder with regards to the Convertible Debentures loaned to the Company having an aggregate current principal amount outstanding of $25,030,134 as of June 30, 2016. Under the terms of the Pay-Off Letter and Conversion Agreement, upon the closing date of the initial public offering on July 1, 2016, the Company converted the remaining principal amount of $15,030,134 into 1,179,019 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion rate of $12.748 per share. Additionally, in accordance with the Pay-Off Letter and Conversion Agreement, on July 8, 2016 the Company paid off the remaining principal amount of $10,000,000 outstanding under the Convertible Debentures and all accrued interest owed on the Convertible Debentures in the amount of $1,716,811 with a total payment of $11,716,811.

 

Cash Flow Information

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $204,826, compared with $10,801 used in operating activities for the same period in 2015. The increase during the current six-month period was primarily derived from increases in the net loss and the deferred rent receivable balance, partially offset by an increases in depreciation expense, amortization of debt discount, and accrued expenses. This cash outflow was partially offset by noncash depreciation and deferred financing amortization expense, unpaid management fees, and an increase in accrued expenses.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $37,640,869, compared with $6,000 used in investing activities for the same period in 2015. The increase during the current six-month period was primarily derived from the acquisitions of the Plano, Melbourne, and Westland 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 provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $31,236,229, compared with $106,508 provided by operating activities for the same period in 2015. The increase during the current six-month period was primarily derived from total loan proceeds of $32,097,400 received from the Cantor loan and a $1,500,000 loan from our majority stockholder, partially offset by the payments of deferred financing costs, deferred public offering costs, dividends, and third party loan principal repayments.

 

Dividends

 

Pursuant to a previously declared dividend approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and in compliance with applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Company has paid a monthly dividend of $0.0852 per share each month during the four-month period from January 2016 through April 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company paid total dividends to holders of its common stock in the amount of $285,703. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company paid total dividends to holders of its common stock in the amount of $127,800.

 

The amount of the dividends paid 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.

 

Inflation

 

Historically, inflation has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our healthcare facilities. Many of our triple-net lease agreements contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses that enable us to receive payment of increased rent pursuant to escalation clauses which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. These escalation clauses often provide for fixed rent increases or indexed escalations (based upon the consumer price index or other measures). However, some of these contractual rent increases may be less than the actual rate of inflation. Most of our triple-net lease agreements require the tenant-operator to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This requirement reduces our exposure to increases in these costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this Item 3.

 

Item 4. 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 disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016 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.

 

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

 

No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
