1. General
LTC Properties, Inc., a health care real estate investment trust (or REIT), was incorporated on May 12, 1992 in the State of Maryland and commenced operations on August 25, 1992. We invest primarily in senior housing and long term care properties through property lease transactions, mortgage loans and other investments. We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting and internal decision making purposes. Our primary objectives are to sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in senior housing and long term care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary senior housing and long term healthcare property types include skilled nursing properties (or SNF), assisted living properties (or ALF), independent living properties (or ILF) and combinations thereof. Additionally, we develop purpose built, free-standing memory care properties designed to attract private-pay residents requiring dementia care services. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property type and form of investment.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or SEC) and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations governing the presentation of interim financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a controlled partnership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Control over the partnership is based on the provisions of the partnership agreement that provide us with a controlling financial interest in the partnership.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement, our company, as general partner, is responsible for the management of the partnerships assets, business and affairs. Certain of our rights and duties in management of the partnership include making all operating decisions, setting the capital budget, executing all contracts, making all employment decisions, and handling the purchase and disposition of assets. We, as the general partner, are responsible for the ongoing, major, and central operations of the partnership and make all management decisions. In addition, we, as the general partner, assume the risk for all operating losses, capital losses, and are entitled to substantially all capital gains (i.e. asset appreciation). The limited partners have virtually no rights and are precluded from taking part in the operation, management or control of the partnership. The limited partners are also precluded from transferring their partnership interests without the express permission of the general partner. However, we can transfer our interest without consultation or permission of the limited partners.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation, including changes as a result of the application of accounting guidance for disposed properties or classified as held-for-sale. A 140-bed skilled nursing property located

in Texas for $1,248,000 was sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We reclassified a 140-unit independent living property located in Texas from held-for-sale to held-for-use. The expenses, which were not recognized during the held-for-sale period, were recognized at the date of reclassification. This resulted in an increase of depreciation expense of $285,000. Due to the market conditions, the timing of the ultimate disposal of this property is uncertain. These adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.
Any reference to the number of properties, number of schools, number of units, number of beds, and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firms review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Our company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, we generally are not taxed on income that is distributed to our stockholders.

(1) We have investments in 12 states that include mortgages to 12 different operators.
(2) Other senior housing consists of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.
At September 30, 2012, the mortgage loans had interest rates ranging from 10.0% to 14.2% and maturities ranging from 2012 to 2019. In addition, some loans contain certain guarantees, provide for certain facility fees and generally have 20-year to 25-year amortization schedules. The majority of the mortgage loans provide for annual increases in the interest rate based upon a specified increase of 10 to 25 basis points.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we received a notice of prepayment from a borrower who holds seven mortgage loans secured by seven assisted living properties with a weighted average interest rate of 12.1%. We expect to receive a total of $15,157,000 plus accrued interest on or about November 24, 2012 related to this payoff. We intend to use the proceeds to partially repay amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Agreement.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we received $621,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments and $483,000 plus accrued interest related to the early payoff of a mortgage loan secured by a 118-bed skilled nursing property. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we received $2,010,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments and $2,846,000 plus accrued interest related to the early payoff of three mortgage loans secured by three skilled nursing properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we received $2,429,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments and we received $2,557,000 plus accrued interest related to the payoff of three mortgage loans secured by one assisted living property and five skilled nursing properties.

(1) We have investments in 25 states leased to 32 different operators.
(2) Other senior housing consists of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.
(3) We have two properties under development: 120-bed skilled nursing property in Texas which will replace an existing 90-bed skilled nursing property we own and 60-unit free-standing memory care property in Colorado.
Owned properties are leased pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases generally with an initial term of 10 to 15 years. Each lease is a triple net lease which requires the lessee to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, capital and non-capital expenditures and other costs necessary in the operations of the facilities. Many of the leases contain renewal options. The leases provide for fixed minimum base rent during the initial and renewal periods. The majority of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year that are generally computed in one of four ways depending on specific provisions of each lease:
(i) a specified percentage increase over the prior years rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%;
(ii) a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index;
(iii) as a percentage of facility net patient revenues in excess of base amounts; or
(iv) specific dollar increases.

(1) Includes two skilled nursing properties with a total of 234 beds located in Texas. These properties were purchased separately for a total purchase price of $25,100. Simultaneous with these purchases, we added these properties to an existing master lease with a third party operator at an incremental GAAP yield of 10.7%. Also, includes two 144-bed skilled nursing properties located in Ohio purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $54,000. Simultaneous with the purchase, we leased the properties to an unrelated third-party operator at a GAAP yield of 10.1%. The initial term of the lease is 15 years with two 5-year renewal options and annual rent escalations of the lesser of i) 2.25% for the first seven years and 2.50% for the remainder of the term or ii) a calculation based on the consumer price index.
(2) We purchased a vacant parcel of land in Colorado for $1,882. Simultaneous with the purchase, we entered into a lease agreement and development commitment in an amount not to exceed $7,935 to fund the construction of a 60-unit free-standing memory care property. Rent under the lease will begin upon the earlier of project completion or the improvement deadline of August 1, 2013. Initial rent at the rate of 9.25% will be calculated based on the land purchase price and construction costs funded plus 9.0% compounded on each advance under the commitment from the disbursement date until the earlier of project completion or the improvement deadline. The lease has an 11-year initial term, four 5-year renewal options and annual escalations of 2.5%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold a 140-bed skilled nursing property located in Texas for $1,248,000 and recognized a gain, net of selling expenses, of $16,000. This property was leased under a master lease and the economic terms of this master lease did not change as a result of this sale. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we invested $2,438,000 at an average yield of 9.1%, under agreements to expand and renovate four existing properties with two operators and to construct a skilled nursing property and a memory care property with two operators. We also invested $174,000 in capital improvements to two existing properties under two lease agreements whose rental rates already reflected these investments. In October 2012, we purchased vacant land in Kansas for $730,000. Simultaneous with the purchase, we entered into a lease agreement and development commitment in an amount not to exceed $9,855,000 to fund the construction of a 77-unit assisted living and memory care property. Concurrently with the purchase, we funded $492,000 under the development commitment. Rent under the lease will begin upon the earlier of project completion or the fifteenth month following the effective date of lease. Initial rent at the rate of 9.25% will be calculated based on the land purchase price and construction costs funded plus 9.0% compounded on each advance under the commitment from the disbursement date until the earlier of project completion or the improvement deadline. The lease has a 10-year initial term, two 5-year renewal options and annual escalations of 2.5%.

(1) We purchased four skilled nursing properties with 524-beds in Texas for $50,841 which consisted of $41,000 in cash at closing with the remainder in the form of contingent earn-out payments. The contingent earn-out payment arrangements require us to pay two earn-out payments totalling up to $11,000 upon the properties achieving a sustainable stipulated rent coverage ratio. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we paid $4,000 related to the first contingent earn-out payment. We estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out payments using a discounted cash flow analysis.
(2) Other senior housing properties consist of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we invested $2,421,000 at an average yield of 9.9%, under agreements to expand and renovate nine existing properties operated by five different operators.

Additionally, the drawn pricing was decreased by 25 basis points, the undrawn pricing was decreased by 10 basis points and the maturity of the facility was extended for one additional year to May 25, 2016. The amendment also provides for a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. Based on our leverage ratios at September 30, 2012, the amended facility provides for interest annually at LIBOR plus 125 basis points and an unused commitment fee of 25 basis points.

Senior Unsecured Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we sold 12-year senior unsecured notes in the aggregate amount of $85,800,000 to a group of institutional investors in a private placement transaction. The notes bear interest at 5.0%, mature on July 19, 2024 and have scheduled annual principal pay downs of $17,160,000 in years 8 through 12. We used a portion of the proceeds to pay down our Unsecured Credit Agreement and used the remaining proceeds to fund acquisitions.
At September 30, 2012, we had $185,800,000 outstanding under our Senior Unsecured Notes with a weighted average interest rate of 5.2% and $100,000,000 available under an Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf agreement which provides for the possible issuance of senior unsecured fixed-rate term notes through October 19, 2014.

Preferred Stock. At September 30, 2012, we had 2,000,000 shares of our 8.5% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (or Series C preferred stock) outstanding. Our Series C preferred stock is convertible into 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at $19.25 per share. Total shares reserved for issuance of common stock related to the conversion of Series C preferred stock were 2,000,000 shares at September 30, 2012.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we redeemed 3,536,530 shares of our 8.0% Series F Cumulative Preferred Stock (or Series F preferred stock), representing all of the outstanding shares of Series F preferred stock. The Series F preferred stock had a liquidation value of $25.00 per share. The redemption price was $25.1333 per share, including accrued and unpaid dividends up to the redemption date. Accordingly, we recognized the $3,566,000 of original issue costs related to the Series F preferred stock as a preferred stock redemption charge in the consolidated income statement line item income allocated to preferred stockholders.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we reclassified all of the authorized but unissued shares of the our 8.5% Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (or Series E preferred stock) and our Series F preferred stock as authorized but unissued and unclassified shares of our preferred stock. No shares of Series E preferred stock or Series F preferred stock were outstanding immediately prior to the reclassification.
Common Stock. We have an equity distribution agreement which allows us to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $85,686,000 in aggregate offering price of our common shares. Sales of common shares are made by means of ordinary brokers transactions at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed between us and our sales agents. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we did not sell shares of our common stock under our equity distribution agreement. At September 30, 2012, we had $64,573,000 available under this amended equity distribution agreement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we sold 3,990,000 shares of common stock at a price of $27.25 per share, before fees and costs, in an underwritten public offering. The net proceeds of $103,631,000 were used to redeem all of our Series F preferred stock outstanding, as previously discussed, and the remaining net proceeds were used to partially repay amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Agreement.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, our Board of Directors terminated its authorization to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our equity securities, including common and preferred stock in the open market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we did not purchase shares of our equity securities. At December 31, 2011, we had an open Board authorization to purchase 3,360,237 shares in total of equity securities.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we amended our charter to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 45,000 to 60,000 shares. The charter amendment was approved by our stockholders at the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 22, 2012.
Available Shelf Registrations. Our shelf registration statement provides us with the capacity to offer up to $400,000,000 in common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units. We may from time to time raise capital under our current shelf registration in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering. At September 30, 2012, we had availability of $167,614,000 under our effective shelf registration.
Non-controlling Interests. We have one limited partnership. The limited partnership agreement allows the limited partners to convert, on a one-for-one basis, their limited partnership units into shares of common stock or the cash equivalent, at our option. Since we exercise control, we consolidate the limited partnership and we carry the non-controlling interests at cost.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, our limited partner partially exercised his conversion rights to exchange 3,294 partnership units in the limited partnership. At our discretion, we converted his partnership units into an equal number of our common shares. The partnership conversion price is $17.00 per partnership unit. We accounted for this exchange as an equity transaction because there was no change in control requiring consolidation or deconsolidation and remeasurement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, two of our limited partners exercised their conversion rights. Excluding the conversion of the 3,294 partnership units, as previously discussed above, one limited partner exchanged all of its 67,294 partnership units and the other limited partner partially exchanged 22,000 partnership units in the limited partnership. Upon receipt of the redemption notification of 89,294 limited partnership units, we elected to satisfy the redemption in cash. We paid the limited partners $2,764,000, which represents the closing price of our common stock on the redemption date plus $0.05 per share multiplied by the number of limited partnership units redeemed. The amount we paid upon redemption exceeded the book value of the limited partnership interest redeemed by $1,246,000. We accounted for this exchange as an equity transaction because there was no change in control requiring consolidation or deconsolidation and remeasurement. Accordingly, the $1,246,000 excess book value of the limited partners interest in the partnership was reclassified to stockholders equity. At September 30, 2012, we had reserved 20,000 shares of our common stock under this partnership agreement. At September 30, 2012, the carrying value and market value of the partnership conversion rights was $349,000 and $646,000, respectively.

(1) During 2011, we redeemed all of our remaining Series F preferred Stock.
(2) Includes the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series F preferred stock up to the redemption date.
(3) Represents $0.145 per share per month for January through July of 2012 and $0.155 per share per month for August through September of 2012.
(4) Represents $0.14 per share per month for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
In October 2012, we declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.155 per share on our common stock for the months of October, November and December 2012, payable on October 31, November 30, and December 31, 2012, respectively, to stockholders of record on October 23, November 21, and December 21, 2012, respectively.
Other Equity. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, other equity consisted of accumulated comprehensive income of $160,000 and $199,000, respectively. This balance represents the net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale REMIC Certificates recorded in 2005 when we repurchased the loans in the underlying loan pool. This amount is being amortized to increase interest income over the remaining life of the loans that we repurchased from the REMIC Pool.
Stock-Based Compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a total of 85,000 stock options were exercised at a total option value of $1,926,000 and a total market value on the date of exercise of $2,761,000. No stock options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, no stock options were issued. At September 30, 2012, we have no stock options that are scheduled to vest through December 31, 2012 or beyond. Compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2,000 and $10,000, respectively. Compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $5,000 and $13,000, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we granted 8,000 shares of restricted common stock at $31.87 per share. These shares vest ratably over a three-year period from the grant date. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we granted 56,200 shares of restricted common stock at $31.77 per share. The vesting of these shares are as follows: 14,000 shares vest ratably over a five-year period from the grant date, 30,000 shares all vest on June 15, 2015, and 12,200 shares all vest on January 10, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we granted 6,000 shares of restricted common stock at $28.70 per share. These shares vest ratably over a three-year period from the grant date.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $369,000 and $1,082,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted common stock.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
During 2011, we purchased four skilled nursing properties with a total of 524 beds. As part of the purchase agreement, we paid cash at closing and committed to provide contingent earn-out payments if certain operational thresholds are met. The contingent earn-out payment arrangements require us to pay two earn-out payments totalling up to $11,000,000 upon the properties achieving a sustainable stipulated rent coverage ratio. We estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out payments using a discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant input not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. During 2011, we paid $4,000,000 related to the first contingent earn-out payment. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the remaining contingent earn-out payments had a fair value of $6,634,000 and $6,305,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded non-cash interest expense of $110,000 and $330,000, respectively, related to the earn-out liabilities which represents the accretion of the difference between the current fair value and estimated payment of the contingent earn-out liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded $177,000 and $354,000 of non-cash interest expense related to the earn-out liabilities.

8. Major Operators
We have three operators from each of which we derive over 10% of our combined rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans.
In 2006, Extendicare Services, Inc. (or EHSI), one of our major operators, effected a reorganization whereby it completed a spin-off of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (or ALC). ALC is now a NYSE traded public company operating assisted living centers. The remaining EHSI assets and operations were converted into a Canadian REIT (or Extendicare REIT) listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. On July 1, 2012, Extendicare REIT converted from an income trust structure to a corporate structure under a corporation named Extendicare Inc. (or Extendicare). Both Extendicare and ALC continue to be parties to the leases with us.
Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc. (or Brookdale Communities) is a wholly owned subsidiary of a publicly traded company, Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. (or Brookdale).
The following table summarizes Extendicare REIT, ALCs and Brookdales financial information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 per the operators public filings (in thousands). Our other operator is privately owned and thus no public financial information is available.

* The financial information contained in the foregoing table for Extendicare REIT, ALC and Brookdale is based on information we obtained from such companies available public filings and, therefore, we have not independently verified the accuracy of such information.

(Unaudited)
Preferred Care, Inc. (or Preferred Care), through various wholly owned subsidiaries, operates 28 skilled nursing properties and two other senior housing properties that we own or on which we hold mortgages secured by first trust deeds. These properties consist of a total of 3,603 skilled nursing beds and 49 assisted living units. This represents approximately 7.5%, or $53,197,000, of our total assets at September 30, 2012 and 11.8% of rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans recognized as of September 30, 2012. They also operate one skilled nursing property under a sub-lease with another lessee we have which is not included in the Preferred Care rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans.
Our financial position and ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by financial difficulties experienced by Brookdale Communities, Extendicare, ALC, Preferred Care, or any of our lessees and borrowers, including any bankruptcies, inability to emerge from bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in business of any such operator, or in the event any such operator does not renew and/or extend its relationship with us or our borrowers when it expires.
9. Transactions with Related Party
We have directly entered into one transaction with Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (or SHG). One of our directors, Boyd W. Hendrickson, serves as Chief Executive Officer of SHG.
In December 2005, we purchased, on the open market, $10,000,000 face value of SHG Senior Subordinated Notes with a face rate of 11.0% and an effective yield of 11.1%. Our Board of Directors, with Mr. Hendrickson abstaining, ratified the purchase of SHG Senior Subordinated Notes. As a result of an early redemption by SHG in 2007, we had a remaining investment in $6,500,000 face value of SHG Senior Subordinated Notes at December 31, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, SHG redeemed all of their outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes at par value plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $235,000 of interest income related to the SHG Senior Subordinated Notes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $180,000 and $540,000, respectively, of interest income related to the SHG Senior Subordinated Notes.
In addition, during September 2007 SHG purchased the assets of Laurel Healthcare (or Laurel). We were not a direct party to this transaction. One of the assets SHG purchased was Laurels leasehold interests in the skilled nursing properties in New Mexico Laurel leased from us under a 15-year master lease agreement dated in February 2006. Our Board of Directors, with Mr. Hendrickson abstaining, ratified our consent to the assignment of Laurels master lease to subsidiaries of SHG. The economic terms of the master lease agreement did not change as a result of our assignment of the master lease to subsidiaries of SHG. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we received $1,095,000 and $3,275,000, respectively, in rental income and recorded $31,000 and $101,000, respectively, in straight-line rental income from subsidiaries of SHG. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we received $1,068,000 and $3,196,000, respectively, in rental income and recorded $57,000 and $181,000, respectively, in straight-line rental income from subsidiaries of SHG. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the straight-line rent receivable from subsidiaries of SHG was $3,160,000 and $3,060,000, respectively.

11. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. We have not elected the fair market value option for any of our financial assets or financial liabilities.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. We do not invest our cash in auction rate securities. The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 assuming election of the fair market value option (in thousands):

(1) Our investment in mortgage loans receivable is classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the mortgage loans receivable at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was 6.0%.
(2) Our investment in marketable debt securities is classified as Level 2. The fair value is measured using quoted market rates based on most recent transactions from an independent third party source. The pricing of our marketable debt securities as of December 31, 2011 was 100.0%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, these marketable debt securities were redeemed at par value. See Note 4. Marketable Securities for further discussion.
(3) Our bonds payable and bank borrowings are at a variable interest rate. The estimated fair value of our bonds payable and bank borrowings approximated their carrying values at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 based upon prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.
(4) Our obligation under our senior unsecured notes is classified as Level 3 and thus the fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is measured based upon managements estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us, and instruments of comparable maturities. At September 30, 2012 the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 3.8% for those maturing before year 2019 and 4.0% for those maturing in year 2021. At December 31, 2011, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 4.8% for all maturity dates.
(5) Our contingent obligation under the earn-out liabilities is classified as Level 3. We estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out payments using a discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate that we use consists of a risk-free U.S. Treasury rate plus a company specific credit spread which we believe is acceptable by willing market participants. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of the earn-out liability was 6.6% and 6.8%, respectively.
12. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to September 30, 2012 the following events occurred.
We declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.155 per share on our common stock for the months of October, November and December 2012, payable on October 31, November 30, and December 31, 2012, respectively, to stockholders of record on October 23, November 21, and December 21, 2012, respectively.

We purchased vacant land in Kansas for $730,000. Simultaneous with the purchase, we entered into a lease agreement and development commitment in an amount not to exceed $9,855,000 to fund the construction of a 77-unit assisted living and memory care property. Concurrently with the purchase, we funded $492,000 under the development commitment. Rent under the lease will begin upon the earlier of project completion or the fifteenth month following the effective date of lease. Initial rent at the rate of 9.25% will be calculated based on the land purchase price and construction costs funded plus 9.0% compounded on each advance under the commitment from the disbursement date until the earlier of project completion or the improvement deadline. The lease has a 10-year initial term, two 5-year renewal options and annual escalations of 2.5%.
We repaid $6,000,000 under our Unsecured Credit Agreement. Accordingly, we had $29,500,000 outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Agreement with $210,500,000 available for borrowing.

Executive Overview
Business
We are a self-administered health care real estate investment trust (or REIT) that invests primarily in senior housing and long term healthcare properties through mortgage loans, property lease transactions and other investments. Our primary senior housing and long term healthcare property types include skilled nursing properties (or SNF), assisted living properties (or ALF), independent living properties (or ILF) and combinations thereof. Additionally, we develop purpose built, free-standing memory care properties designed to attract private-pay residents requiring dementia care services. In the third quarter of 2012, senior housing and long term healthcare properties comprised approximately 98% of our investment portfolio. We have been operating since August 1992.
The following table summarizes our direct real estate investment portfolio which consists of properties that we own or on which we hold promissory notes secured by first mortgages as of September 30, 2012 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) Includes interest income from mortgage loans.
(2) Includes rental income and interest income from mortgage loans.
(3) We have investments in 30 states leased or mortgaged to 41 different operators.
(4) See Item 2. Properties for discussion of bed/unit count.
(5) Other senior housing properties consist of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.
(6) We have two properties under development: 120-bed skilled nursing property in Texas which will replace an existing 90-bed skilled nursing property we own and 60-unit free-standing memory care property in Colorado.
As of September 30, 2012 we had $661.1 million in carrying value of net real estate investments, consisting of $612.9 million or 92.7% invested in owned properties and properties under development and $48.2 million or 7.3% invested in mortgage loans secured by first mortgages.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we received a notice of prepayment from a borrower who holds seven mortgage loans secured by seven assisted living properties with a weighted average interest rate of 12.1%. We expect to receive a total of $15.2 million plus accrued interest on or about November 24, 2012 related to this payoff. We intend to use the proceeds to partially repay amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Agreement.
In October 2012, we purchased vacant land in Kansas for $0.7 million. Simultaneous with the purchase, we entered into a lease agreement and development commitment in an amount not to exceed $9.9 million to fund the construction of a 77-unit assisted living and memory care property. Rent under the lease will begin upon the earlier of project completion or the fifteenth month following the effective date of lease. Initial rent at the rate of 9.25% will be calculated based on the land purchase price and construction costs funded plus 9.0% compounded on each advance under the commitment from the disbursement date until the earlier of project completion or the improvement deadline. The lease has a 10-year initial term, two 5-year renewal options and annual escalations of 2.5%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, rental income and interest income from mortgage loans represented 92.6% and 6.3%, respectively, of total gross revenues. In most instances, our lease structure contains fixed annual rental escalations, which are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease period. Certain leases have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index and/or changes in the gross operating revenues of the property. This revenue is not recognized until the appropriate contingencies have been resolved. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded $2.2 million in straight-line rental income and $26,000 of straight-line rent receivable reserve. At September 30, 2012, the straight-line rent receivable balance, net of reserves, for continuing and discontinued operations on the balance sheet was $25.9 million.
For leases in place at September 30, 2012, assuming no modification or replacement of existing leases and no new leased investments are added to our portfolio, we currently expect that straight-line rental income will decrease from $3.1 million for projected annual 2012 to $2.4 million for projected annual 2013 and, conversely, our cash rental income is projected to increase from $84.6 million for projected annual 2012 to $89.8 million for projected annual 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we received
$62.6 million of cash rental revenue and recorded amortization of lease inducement cost of $0.5 million. Many of our existing leases contain renewal options that could renew above or below current rent rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we renewed three leases by 1) replacing one expired lease with a new lease and 2) combined two other leases into one master lease. The operators of these renewed leases remained the same.
Our primary objectives are to sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in senior housing and long term care properties managed by experienced operators. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator and form of investment. We opportunistically consider investments in health care facilities in related businesses where the business model is similar to our existing model and the opportunity provides an attractive expected return. Consistent with this strategy, we pursue, from time to time, opportunities for potential acquisitions and investments, with due diligence and negotiations often at different stages of development at any particular time.
· With respect to skilled nursing properties, we attempt to invest in properties that do not have to rely on a high percentage of private-pay patients. We prefer to invest in a property that has significant market presence in its community and where state certificate of need and/or licensing procedures limit the entry of competing properties.
· For assisted living and independent living investments we have attempted to diversify our portfolio both geographically and across product levels. Thus, we believe that although the majority of our investments are in affordably priced units, our portfolio also includes a significant number of upscale units in appropriate markets with certain operators.
· We have begun an initiative to develop purpose built, free-standing memory care properties designed to attract private-pay residents requiring dementia care services. Memory care facilities offer specialized options for seniors with Alzheimers disease and other forms of dementia. Purpose built, free-standing memory care facilities offer an attractive alternative for private-pay residents affected by memory loss in comparison to other accommodations that typically have been provided within a secured unit of an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. These facilities offer dedicated care and specialized programming for various conditions relating to memory loss in a secured environment that is typically smaller in scale and more residential in nature than traditional assisted living facilities. Residents require a higher level of care and more assistance with activities of daily living than in assisted living facilities. Therefore, these facilities have staff available 24 hours a day to respond to the unique needs of their residents.
Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals and interest earned on outstanding loans receivable. Our investments in mortgage loans and owned properties represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions and are dependent upon the performance of the operators on their lease and loan obligations and the rates earned thereon. To the extent that the operators experience operating difficulties and are unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods determined by the type of health care facility and operator. Our monitoring process includes periodic review of financial statements for each facility, periodic review of operator credit, scheduled property inspections and review of covenant compliance relating to real estate taxes and insurance.
In addition to our monitoring and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk. Some operating leases and loans are credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit. In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the operator and its affiliates.
Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we anticipate making additional investments in health care related properties. New investments are generally funded from cash on hand, temporary borrowings under our unsecured line of credit and internally generated cash flows. Our investments generate internal cash from rent and interest receipts and principal payments on mortgage loans receivable. Permanent financing for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under our unsecured line of credit, is expected to be provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities and secured and unsecured debt financing. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital.
At September 30, 2012, we had $8.3 million of cash on hand, $204.5 million available under our $240.0 million Unsecured Credit Agreement and $100.0 million available under the uncommitted private shelf agreement. Subsequent to September 30, 2012, we repaid $6.0 million under our Unsecured Credit Agreement. Accordingly, we had $29.5 million outstanding with $210.5 million available for borrowing. We have the ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of $64.6 million of common stock under our equity distribution agreement and through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities under our $167.6 million effective shelf registration. As a result, we believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital are sufficient to fund operations, meet debt service obligations (both principal and interest), make dividend distributions and finance some future investments should we determine such future investments are financially feasible.
We believe our business model has enabled and will continue to enable us to maintain the integrity of our property investments, including in response to financial difficulties that may be experienced by operators. Traditionally, we have taken a conservative approach to managing our business, choosing to maintain liquidity and exercise patience until favorable investment opportunities arise.
Healthcare Regulatory Climate
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (or CMS) annually updates Medicare skilled nursing facility prospective payment system rates and other policies. On July 29, 2011, CMS issued its final rule updating Medicare skilled nursing facility rates for fiscal year 2012, which began on October 1, 2011. Under the final rule, average Medicare rates were reduced by 11.1%, or $3.87 billion, compared to fiscal year 2011 levels. CMS stated that the rate reduction was needed to recalibrate skilled nursing facility payment rates to correct what CMS characterized as an unintended spike in payments in fiscal year 2011, when CMS implemented the Resource Utilization Groups, version four (or RUG-IV) patient classification system. Although CMS intended implementation of RUG-IV to be budget-neutral, CMS has taken the position that claims under the updated system show a significant increase in Medicare expenditures, in part because the proportion of patients grouped in the highest-paying RUG therapy categories greatly exceeded CMS expectations. CMS applied a 12.6% recalibration reduction, which was partially offset by a 1.7% standard rate update (which represented a 2.7% market basket update reduced by a 1.0 percentage point multifactor productivity adjustment mandated by the Affordable Care Act). On July 27, 2012, CMS issued a notice updating Medicare skilled nursing facility payment rates for fiscal year 2013, which began on October 1, 2012. The notice calls for a 1.8 percent update in rates (consisting of a 2.5 % market basket update, reduced by a 0.7 percentage point multifactor productivity adjustment). CMS estimates that overall Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities in fiscal year 2013 will increase by $670 million compared to fiscal year 2012. In addition, on July 11, 2012, CMS published a proposed rule that would, among other things, codify provisions of section 3201 of the Middle Class Tax Extension and Job Creation Act of 2012 that require reductions in bad debt reimbursement to all providers, suppliers, and other entities eligible to receive bad debt reimbursement. These reductions will gradually reduce the amount Medicare skilled nursing facilities can claim as bad debt to 65% of allowable bad debt by fiscal year 2015. There can be no assurance that this rule or any future reductions in Medicare skilled nursing facility payment rates would not have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our borrowers and lessees which could, in turn, adversely impact the timing or level of their payments to us.
In March 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which subsequently was amended by the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act). The Affordable Care Act is designed to expand access to affordable health insurance, contain health care costs, and institute a variety of health policy reforms. The provisions of the sweeping law may affect us directly, as well as impact our lessees and borrowers. While certain provisions, such as expanding the insured population, may positively impact the revenues of our lessees and borrowers, other provisions, particularly those intended to reduce federal health care spending, could have a negative impact on our lessees and borrowers. Among other things, the Affordable Care Act: reduces Medicare skilled nursing facility reimbursement by a so-called productivity adjustment based on economy-wide productivity gains beginning in fiscal year 2012 (as noted above); requires the development of a value-based purchasing program for Medicare skilled nursing facility services; establishes a national voluntary pilot program to bundle Medicare payments for hospital and post-acute services that could lead to changes in the delivery of post-acute services; and provides incentives to state Medicaid programs to promote community-based care as an alternative to institutional long term care services. The Affordable Care Act also includes provisions intended to expand public disclosure about nursing home ownership and operations, institute mandatory compliance and quality assurance programs, increase penalties for noncompliance, and expand fraud and abuse enforcement and penalty provisions that could impact our operators. In addition, the Affordable Care Act impacts both us and our lessees and borrowers as employers, including new requirements related to the health insurance we offer to our respective employees. Many aspects of the Affordable Care Act are being implemented through new regulations and subregulatory guidance. We cannot predict at this time what effect, if any, the various provisions of the Affordable Care Act will have on our lessees and borrowers or our business. There can be no assurances, however, that the Affordable Care Act will not adversely impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of our lessees and borrowers, which subsequently could materially adversely impact our revenue and operations.
On August 2, 2011, President Obama signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which increased the nations debt ceiling while taking steps to reduce the federal deficit. Under this law, a bipartisan Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction was responsible for identifying $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction, which could include cuts in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal spending and/or revenue increases. The Committee failed to achieve consensus on deficit reduction measures. As a result, because no legislation was adopted to achieve deficit reduction targets by the statutory deadline, absent additional legislation, an enforcement mechanism known as sequestration will trigger a total of $1.2 trillion in spending reductions in January 2013, divided between domestic and defense spending. Medicare provider payments will also be subject to sequestration, although the reductions will be capped at 2%. There can be no assurances that federal spending reductions resulting from the Budget Control Act or other budget control mechanisms will not have an adverse impact on the financial condition of our lessees and borrowers, which subsequently could materially adversely impact our company.
In addition, comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for and availability of health care services have been proposed at the state level and adopted by certain states. Congress and state legislatures can be expected to continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies, including initiatives targeting long-term care services for Medicaid and Medicare-Medicaid dual eligible beneficiaries. Changes in the law, new interpretations of existing laws, or changes in payment methodologies may have a dramatic effect on the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business and the amount of reimbursement by the government and other third party payors.
Key Transactions
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we purchased two 144-bed skilled nursing properties located in Ohio for an aggregate purchase price of $54.0 million. Simultaneous with the purchase, we leased the properties to an unrelated third-party operator at a GAAP yield of 10.1%. The initial term of the lease is 15 years with two 5-year renewal options and annual rent escalations of the lesser of i) 2.25% for the first seven years and 2.50% for the remainder of the term or ii) a calculation based on the consumer price index. We also acquired a 90-bed skilled nursing property located in Texas for an aggregate purchase price of $6.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Simultaneous with the purchase, we added the property to an existing master lease with an unrelated third-party operator at an incremental GAAP yield of 10.7%.
Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold $85.8 million aggregate principal amount of 5.03% senior unsecured term notes in a private placement transaction. The notes have a 12-year maturity and a 10-year average life. We used the proceeds to paydown our unsecured line of credit and to fund acquisitions.
Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties
We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business. These indicators are discussed below and relate to concentration risk and credit strength. Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.
Concentration Risk. We evaluate our concentration risk in terms of asset mix, investment mix, operator mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is valuable to understand what portion of our investments could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns. A
