facility with First Citizens Bank. In addition, CDA Fund LLC assumed certain accrued
liabilities of approximately $24K and accounts receivable of approximately $118K related to
the assumed real estate assets. The transaction resulted in loss of $13,461. Related party

(1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
NexCore Healthcare Capital Corp (the Company, we, us or our), formerly CapTerra Financial
Group, Inc. (CapTerra) is a full service health care real estate development company. We provide
asset and property management services, development, acquisition, ownership, financing and leasing.
We also invest in and manage medical office and other healthcare related real estate throughout the
United States.
The Company completed a business combination with NexCore Group LP on September 29, 2010 which was
accounted for as a reverse acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. Prior share amounts for NexCore have been retroactively adjusted
by the share exchange ratio in connection with the business combination. Thus the historical
operating results, cashflows and financial position presented in the consolidated Balance Sheet and
Statement of Operations are those of NexCore.
On March 25, 2011, the Company transferred its interest in nine subsidiaries holding real estate
assets with a carrying amount of approximately $7.2 million to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO
Investments, LLC (an affiliate of CapTerra) in exchange for assuming our Subordinated Debt
facilities from BOCO Investments, LLC and GDBA Investments LLC (also an affiliate of CapTerra) and
our credit facility with First Citizens Bank. The transaction resulted in loss of $13,461 on the
financial statements. All debt that was assumed by CDA Fund, LLC is no longer obligations of the
Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates entities deemed to be voting interest entities if the Company owns a
majority of the voting interest. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in
non-controlled affiliates in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence but not
control. The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities (VIEs) in which the Company
is the primary beneficiary. The Company provides for non-controlling interests in consolidated
subsidiaries for which the Companys ownership is less than 100 percent. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
A VIE is an entity in which either (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit
the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or (b) the group of
holders of the equity investment at risk lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial
interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has the obligation to absorb a majority of the
expected losses or the right to receive the majority of the residual returns. The Company
continually evaluates whether entities in which it has an interest are VIEs and whether the Company
is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified in its analysis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. We continually monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of,
the financial institutions with which we invest. We had $1,001,087 in restricted cash as of March
31, 2011 and $1,006,342 as of December 31, 2010 related to certain minimum balances the Company is
required to maintain due to guarantees related to our development agreements. The restricted cash
is related to the equity method investment discussed in Note 3.
5
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers. The Company considers accounts more
than 30 days old to be past due. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based on
specific customer balance collection issues identified. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the
Company recorded an allowance of $1,629.
Pre-Development Costs
In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), Revenue
Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, the Company has capitalized certain
third-party costs related to prospective development projects. Such costs remain on the balance
sheet until we determine if the project is likely to proceed. These costs include, but are not
limited to, legal fees, marketing, travel, architectural and engineering, due diligence and other
costs. If we determine we are going to proceed with the project, the costs recorded as
pre-development costs on the consolidated Balance Sheet are submitted as a development draw and
will be reimbursed to the Company. If it is deemed probable by management that a prospective
project will not materialize, any related costs on the consolidated Balance Sheet are expensed and
recorded as selling, general and administrative costs on the consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company does not capitalize any internal costs as pre-development costs.
Revenue Recognition
Certain revenue arrangements require management judgments and estimates. Development fees are
recognized over the life of a development project on the percentage of completion method where the
circumstances are such that total profit can be estimated with reasonable accuracy and ultimate
realization is reasonably assured. The percentage of completion uses actual hours spent internally
on the project compared to the total forecasted hours to be spent on the project. If estimates of
total hours require adjustment, the impact on revenue is recognized prospectively. As of March 31,
2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $263,066 and $-0- respectively, of revenue in excess of
billings which represent the difference between actual billable revenue and the revenue calculated
using the percentage of completion method.
The Company sources tenants and negotiates leases for buildings it manages and in return is paid a
leasing commission. Leasing commission revenue is recognized based on each negotiated contract with
the building owner and is recognized as services are performed unless future contingencies exist.
Property management fees and legal consultation fees are recognized monthly as services are
performed, unless future obligations exist. Acquisition and disposition fees are recognized at the
culmination of the purchase or sale of a building.
Certain contractual arrangements for services provide for the delivery of multiple services. The
Company evaluates revenue recognition for each service to be rendered under these arrangements
using criteria set forth in the ASC topic, Multiple-Element Arrangements. For services that meet
the separability criteria, revenue is recognized separately. For services that do not meet these
criteria, revenue is recognized on a combined basis.
In addition, in regard to development service contracts, the owner of the property will typically
reimburse the Company for certain expenses that are incurred on behalf of the owner. The Company
bases the treatment of reimbursable expenses for financial reporting purposes upon the fee
structure of the underlying contract. Contracts are accounted for on a net basis when the fee
structure is comprised of at least two distinct elements, namely (i) a fixed management fee and
(ii) a separate component that allows for expenses to be billed directly to the client. When
accounting on a net basis, the Company includes the fixed management fee in reported revenue and
nets the reimbursement against expenses. The Company bases this accounting on the following
factors, which defines the Company as an agent rather than a principal:
|
|
|
The property owner, with ultimate approval rights relating to the
expenditures and bearing all of the economic costs of such
expenditures, is determined to be the primary obligor in the
arrangement; |
6
|
|
|
Because the property owner is contractually obligated to fund all
operating costs of the property from existing cash flow or direct
funding from its building operating account, the Company bears little
or no credit risk; and |
|
|
|
|
The Company generally earns no margin in the reimbursement aspect of
the arrangement, obtaining reimbursement only for actual costs
incurred. |
All of our service contracts are accounted for on a net basis. This treatment has no impact on
operating income, net income or cash flows.
See Note 8 for a detail of revenue recognized by activity for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and
2010.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for under the equity method and generally
include all entities in which the Company has the ability to exert significant influence, has less
than 50 percent voting control, and is not considered the primary beneficiary. All transactions, if
any, with equity method investments has been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
Guarantees
A guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair
value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Management continually evaluates
guarantees made to determine if the guarantee meets the criteria required to record a liability. As
of March 31, 2011 our guarantee, referred to in Note 5, met the criteria to be recorded as a
liability; however, the amount was de minimus and no value was recorded.
Fair Value Measurements
The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of these financial instruments is
considered to be representative of their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. ASC 820 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and
liabilities and establishes an hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped,
based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
|
Level 1: |
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
Level 2: |
|
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that
are observable for the asset or liability; or |
|
Level 3: |
|
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Earnings Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is determined by dividing the net income by the
sum of (1) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and (2) if not anti-dilutive,
the effect of stock awards determined utilizing the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive
effect of the outstanding awards for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Because the business combination on September 29, 2010 was accounted for as a reverse acquisition,
the number of common shares outstanding from the beginning of the applicable period to the
acquisition date were computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of partnership units of
NexCore Group LP (NexCore) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio
established in the acquisition agreement, which was 5,880
shares for each partnership unit (the Exchange Ratio). The weighted average number of shares used
in the earnings per share calculations were based on historical weighted-average number of
partnership units outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio. The number of common shares
outstanding from the acquisition date to the end of the applicable period is the actual number of
common shares of the Company outstanding during that period.

Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest is a portion of the equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable to the
parent. In accordance with ASC 810, non-controlling interests are reported on the consolidated
Balance Sheet in the equity section and on the consolidated Statement of Operations separate from
the consolidated entities net income or loss. The Company currently has a 90% ownership interest in
NexCore and NexCore Partners, Inc. owns the remaining 10%, which is treated as a non-controlling
interest on our financial statements. The Company allocates 10% of net income or loss, in the
NexCore Group, LP, to the non-controlling interest.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for under the asset and liability method. Under this method,
deferred tax assets, including those related to tax loss carry forwards and credits, and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is
more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to require
additional disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and
enhanced detail in the Level 3 reconciliation. The guidance was amended to clarify the level of
disaggregation required for assets and liabilities and the disclosures required for inputs and
valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities that fall in either
Level 2 or Level 3. The updated guidance was effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2010, with the exception of the Level 3 disaggregation which is effective for the
Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption had no impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2011 and 2010, none
of which are expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.
(2) Real Estate Held for Sale
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had nine non-medical properties classified as real estate held
for sale totaling $7,191,821, three of which, representing a total cost of $3,506,054, were
completed projects and six of which, representing a total cost of $3,685,767, were raw land. These
non-medical properties were all related to the legacy CapTerra business. The Company, after its
business combination, is focused on healthcare real estate and has elected to dispose of all
non-medical real estate assets.
On March 25, 2011 the Company transferred its interest in nine subsidiaries holding these real
estate assets to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO Investments, LLC in exchange for assuming the
Companys Subordinated Debt facilities from BOCO and GDBA and our credit facility with First
Citizens Bank. The transaction resulted in a loss of $13,461. Related party debt that was assumed
by CDA Fund, LLC is no longer an obligation of the Company. CDA will also assume any and all other
future contingencies related to this transaction.

(3) Equity Method Investment
The Companys investment of $2,551,343 is accounted for on the equity method of accounting and
consists of an investment in a limited liability company (LLC) with an institutional equity
partner. The Company owns a 15% interest in this equity method investment. The Company is the
managing member in the LLC but its rights as managing member are subject to the rights of the
institutional partner. No earnings or losses from the equity method investment were recognized as
of March 31, 2011 in the Companys consolidated Statement of Operations as the amounts were de
minimus. In connection with the equity method investment, the Company signed a guarantee agreement
with the lender detailed in Note 5. As of March 31, 2011 there was no significant income statement
activity, and the related party capital balances totaled approximately $8.7 million.

(5) Related Parties
GDBA Investments, LLC
GDBA, an affiliate of CapTerra (the Company prior to the business combination), issued Senior
Subordinated debt to us in the amount of $505,854. The interest rate of this note was 0.46%. On
September 30, 2010 AARD LECA Lonestar LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, signed a note with Safe
Harbor I, LLC in the amount of $25,000, which was used entirely as a principal reduction payment
for the note held by Citizens Bank described in Note 6. Safe Harbor I, LLC is controlled by GDBA
and BOCO. On December 12, 2010 the note was amended and assigned to GDBA. On December 1, 2010 the
Company signed promissory notes totaling $425,000 between GDBA and various project entities that
was used to pay any outstanding debt to vendors. The notes carried a 0.46% annual interest rate.
On March 25, 2011, the Company transferred its interest in nine subsidiaries holding real estate
assets to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO Investments, LLC in exchange for assuming all
promissory note agreements outstanding with GDBA.
BOCO Investments, LLC
BOCO issued Senior Subordinated debt to us in the amount of $2,580,041. The interest rate of this
note was 0.46%.
As discussed in Note 2, on March 25, 2011, the Company transferred its interest in nine
subsidiaries holding real estate assets to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO in exchange for
assuming our Subordinated Debt facilities from BOCO, GDBA, and our credit facility with First
Citizens Bank. Related party debt that was assumed by CDA Fund, LLC is no longer obligations of the
Company.
9
Guarantees
On September 29, 2010, the Company executed a project completion guaranty in connection with a
construction loan agreement between US Bank and SCH MSB LLC, an unconsolidated variable interest
entity and our equity method investment. The guaranty agreement unconditionally guarantees the
lender the project will be completed, all costs will be paid, and the property will be free and
clear of all liens prior to the release of this guaranty. As of
March 31, 2011 the Company believes any amounts associated with this guarantee will be de minimus
and therefore has not recorded a corresponding liability.
Revenue
The main sources of income of the Company are development fees, property and asset management fees,
leasing fees and commissions. Of these revenue sources approximately ten were classified as related
party transactions because certain officers of the Company have, or the Company itself has, an
ownership interest in these entities.
Accordingly we recorded $414,487 and $253,885 of related party revenue for the quarters ended March
31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.
(6) Notes Payable
Citizens Bank Senior Credit Facility
At December 31, 2010, the Company had one outstanding note originally issued under a former real
estate credit facility with a principal balance of $3,615,869. As discussed previously, on March
25, 2011 we transferred, subject to the related debt, our interest in nine subsidiaries holding
real estate assets to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company is no longer responsible for amounts due under the credit facility.
Cypress Sound, LLC
At December 31, 2010, Cypress Sound, LLC (Cypress), a subsidiary of the Company, had one note
payable with a principal amount of $300,000, secured by a first deed of trust on the property held
by Cypress and a personal guarantee by our partner in Cypress. The interest-only note carried a
rate of 12% and was scheduled to mature on February 13, 2011. During the first quarter of 2011, the
Company fully paid the balance due on this note.
(7) Stockholders Equity
Stock Options
On February 1, 2011 the Company granted a total of 250,000 options to purchase common stock to one
of our employees, which have a seven year term and will vest over four years. The options have an
exercise price of $1.05 per share, which was the fair value of the stock on the day of the grant.
Given a risk free rate of 2.79%, expected term of 7 years, no dividends, forfeiture rate of 0.0%,
and a volatility input of 86.45%, the estimated fair value of each option was $0.81 per share,
future expense to be recognized over the vesting period is expected to be $202,439.
The total option expense recorded for the period ending March 31, 2011 is $19,382. Total future
compensation expense is $345,743.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company leases its primary office space. The lease requires monthly base rent payments of
approximately $20,115 for the first year and then incremental increases each year thereafter. The
new lease started January 1, 2011 and expires December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company pays
certain facility operating costs as a portion of rent expense.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company has been undergoing tenant improvements to the Denver
office. The landlord has agreed to provide a $245,000 allowance for tenant improvements and
$186,600 rent abatement that, upon receipt, will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the
life of the lease.
In accordance with ASC 840, the Company has recognized all reductions outlined in the office lease,
on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the
straight-line amount recorded as an expense on the consolidated Statement of Operations is $60,352.
The difference between the amount paid and the amount recorded as an expense is recorded as a
deferred amount on the consolidated Balance Sheet. As of March 31, 2011, that amount is $69,952.

Common Stock
We are required to issue an additional 8,000,000 shares of common stock if we do not have a
specified amount of net operating loss carry forwards for State and Federal income tax purposes
(collectively, NOLs ) for use during the period from the closing to January 1, 2014 (the NOL
Shares ). If issued, the NOL Shares will be issued to each former NexCore partner in proportion to
the amount of shares such partner received in the Acquisition. The determination of our NOLs will
be based on our Federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of March 31,
2011, the Company deems the issuance of these shares not to be probable. As such, we have not
recorded any contingent consideration for possible issuance of these shares as of March 31, 2011.
(10) Concentrations
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, approximately 24% of the Companys revenue was recognized
in association with one development project. The Company had no concentrations for the quarter
ended March 31, 2010.
(11) Subsequent Events
On April 1, 2011, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware (the
Reincorporation) and changed its name from CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. to NexCore Healthcare
Capital Corp. The Reincorporation is not expected to affect any of the Companys contracts with
third parties; result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, or management; result in any
change in the location of any of the
Companys offices or facilities; or affect the assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a
result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation) of the Company.

Overview
On September 29, 2010, CapTerra Financial Group, Inc.(CapTerra) completed a business combination
with NexCore Group LP, a Delaware limited partnership (NexCore). In connection with this business
combination, CapTerras former operations were discontinued and the Company continued NexCores
existing business as a national leader in the field of healthcare real estate development and
management.
As a result, the Company provides real estate solutions for healthcare providers through a national
platform for the development, ownership and management of healthcare real estate including, but not
limited to, on-campus and off-campus, multi-suite healthcare real estate and medical services
buildings; free-standing satellite emergency department facilities; medical malls; multi-specialty
physician group practices; outpatient care center (including musculoskeletal centers, cancer
centers, neuroscience centers); and single-specialty centers (such as orthopedics, otolaryngology,
arthritis, or cardiology). Such facilities are likely to include clinical space for physician care,
surgery, imaging, dialysis, physical/occupational therapy, laboratory, surgical hospitals,
specialty hospital centers, rehabilitation centers (either under hospital or skilled nursing
licensure) or other specialty care centers are also considered a part of our business plan
dependent upon the relationships to other on- or off-campus healthcare providers and/or hospital
systems (collectively, Healthcare Real Estate). The Company provides a full spectrum of strategy,
development, acquisition, ownership, financing, leasing, and asset and property management services
for Healthcare Real Estate.
13
We plan to assemble a portfolio of high-quality, hospital-affiliated real estate, with particular
emphasis on the acquisition and development of Healthcare Real Estate and ambulatory care
facilities. Our business plan
contemplates investments in Healthcare Real Estate development projects, such as the September 2010
ground-breaking of the 178,000 square foot Medical Services Building that is connected directly to
the new Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, Illinois. We may also acquire existing medical
properties as we build our portfolio of Healthcare Real Estate assets.
We plan to continue NexCores strategy of investing in limited liability companies and similar
entities (Real Estate Partnerships), whereby we co-invest our capital with other third party
institutional capital sources to develop and acquire Healthcare Real Estate. We may also retain a
promoted profits interest in most Real Estate Partnerships.
NexCore was originally created in 2004 to solve real estate issues for hospitals and healthcare
systems through a national platform for the development, ownership and management of Healthcare
Real Estate.
On April 1, 2011, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware (the
Reincorporation) and changed its name from CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. to NexCore Healthcare
Capital Corp. The Reincorporation is not expected to affect any of the Companys contracts with
third parties; result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, or management; result in any
change in the location of any of the Companys offices or facilities; or affect the assets,
liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation) of
the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
For a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and
understanding of our results of operations, and that affect the more significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, see
Item 7- Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations-Critical Accounting Policies contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and incorporated by reference herein. Management periodically
re-evaluates and adjusts the estimates that are used as circumstances change. As of March 31, 2011,
there were no significant changes in those critical accounting estimates.
Results of Operations
The following discussion involves our results of operations for the three months ending March 31,
2011 and March 31, 2010. On September 29, 2010, NexCore Group LP combined with CapTerra Financial
Group, Inc. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, thus the historical
operating results, cashflows and financial position presented in the consolidated Balance Sheet and
Statement of Operations are those of NexCore.
Our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $859,619 compared to $611,656 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in revenue is primarily due to our increased
development and leasing activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Development fees and
leasing fees will tend to fluctuate from quarter to quarter with our development activity.
We had $142,912 of direct costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $89,683 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2010. The increase in costs is directly related to the increase in development
activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. On a quarterly basis, compensation related to the
hours worked on revenue generating projects are recorded as direct costs.
Selling, general and administrative costs were $1,805,301 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011
compared to $1,097,457 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase was attributed to
additional staffing associated with the merger and increased salary expense. While we continue to
manage our expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses are projected to trend upward and
downward in relation to our development and leasing activity in any given quarter.
We had a net loss of $1,088,114 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of
$574,911 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Of the net loss, $108,811 was attributable to a
non-controlling interest, resulting in a net loss attributable to our common stockholders of
$979,303. The increase in our net loss was due primarily to higher operating costs associated with
our investment in the Companys growth plan, partially offset by increased revenues.
14
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $2,307,919 on March 31, 2011 compared to $1,642,851 on March 31,
2010. The increase was primarily the result of the business combination with CapTerra offset by the
equity method of investment as described in Note 3, as well as cash used in operations of the Company.
The Company meets its liquidity needs and finances its capital expenditures from its available cash
and funds provided by operations along with borrowings under the credit facility with BOCO.
Cash used in operating activities was $1,049,605 and $602,604 for the three months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010 respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to our
increased development activity. In addition, the Company increased staffing after the business
combination in 2010 which increased payroll salaries and benefits. Given the time involved in
closing our development projects, our cash flow from operations will fluctuate with our development
activity.
Cash used by investing activities was $156,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
$5,382 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was due to the corporate office
remodel costs and software and equipment upgrades. Given the time involved in closing our
development projects, our cash flow from operations is expected to fluctuate with the level of our
development activity.
The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit with BOCO that is fully available to us with no current
balance outstanding as of March 31, 2011. This facility matures on June 25, 2011.
On March 25, 2011, the Company transferred its interest in nine subsidiaries holding real estate
assets with a carrying amount of approximately $7.2 million to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO
Investments, LLC (an affiliate of CapTerra) in exchange for assuming our Subordinated Debt
facilities from BOCO Investments, LLC and GDBA Investments LLC (also an affiliate of CapTerra) and
our credit facility with First Citizens Bank. The transaction resulted in a loss of $13,461 on the
financial statements. All debt that was assumed by CDA Fund, LLC is no longer an obligation of the
Company.
Management continues to assess our capital resources in relation to our ability to fund operations
and new investments on an ongoing basis. As such, management may seek to access the capital
markets to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity, debt or a
combination of both in order to fund our operations and future growth.
ITEM 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information in this Item.
ITEM 4Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period
covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and
evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
There were no changes in our internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during
our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1Legal Proceedings.
None
ITEM 1ARisk Factors.
Risks Related to Our Operations and Properties
The factors described below represent our principal risks. Other factors may exist that we do
not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available or that we are not
currently able to anticipate. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed below could have a
material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and
the trading price of our common stock. Potential investors and our stockholders may be referred to
as you or your in this Item 1A, Risk Factors, section.
We may not be profitable in the future.
Real estate development is cyclical in nature, so it is difficult for us to accurately
forecast our quarterly and annual revenue. Most of our expenses are fixed in the short term or
incurred in advance of anticipated revenue. As a result, we may not be able to decrease our
expenses in a timely manner to offset any revenue shortfall.
We will need additional capital in the future, but it may not be available to us on acceptable
terms or at all.
In order to continue adding new real estate projects we will need additional debt and equity
capital. To date, we have been successful in obtaining capital, but additional capital may not be
available to us on acceptable terms or at all. We expect to rely principally upon our ability to
access capital (debt and equity) through co-investment by third parties in Real Estate
Partnerships, the success of which cannot be guaranteed.
We may not be able to manage our growth.
We hope to experience growth which, if achieved, may stretch our managerial, operational and
financial systems. To accommodate our current size and manage growth, we intend to continue to
improve our financial and operational systems.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of
factors, many of which are outside of our control, including: the demand for our services and
properties; the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the
development of our properties; price competition or pricing changes in the industry; technical or
regulatory difficulties; general economic conditions; and economic conditions specific to the
healthcare industry. Our quarterly results may also be significantly impacted by the accounting
treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. At our current size, such
accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any quarter.
16
Recent adverse macroeconomic and business conditions may continue
The United States has undergone and may continue to experience a prolonged recession that has
been marked by pervasive and fundamental disruptions in the financial markets. Continued concerns
regarding the uncertainty of whether the U.S. economy will be adversely affected by inflation,
deflation or stagflation and the
systemic impact of increased unemployment, volatile energy costs, geopolitical issues,
sovereign debt, currency fluctuations, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage
market and a severely distressed real estate market have contributed to increased market volatility
and weakened business. The United States may not experience a sustained recovery and could suffer
pronounced instability and decreased economic activity for an extended period of time. Our
operations are sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions that impact our tenants,
including, among other things, increased bad debts due to such recessionary pressures.
We may face adverse economic or other conditions in the geographic markets in which we conduct
business
Our operating results depend upon our ability to pre-lease and lease our projects. Adverse
economic or other conditions in the geographic markets in which we operate, including periods of
economic slowdown or recession, industry slowdowns, periods of deflation, relocation of businesses,
changing demographics, earthquakes and other natural disasters, fires, terrorist acts, civil
disturbances or acts of war and other man-made disasters which may result in uninsured or
underinsured losses, and changes in tax, real estate, zoning and other laws and regulations, may
lower our occupancy levels and limit our ability to increase rents or require us to offer rental
concessions.
Our real estate investments are concentrated in Healthcare Real Estate
We are subject to risks inherent in concentrated investments in real estate, and the risks
resulting from a lack of diversification become even greater as a result of our business strategy
to concentrate our investments in the Healthcare Real Estate sector. Any adverse effects that
result from these risks could be more pronounced than if we diversified our investments outside of
Healthcare Real Estate. Given our concentration in this sector, our tenant base is especially
concentrated and dependent upon the healthcare industry generally, and any industry downturn could
harm the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to maintain current rental
and occupancy rates.
Our Healthcare Real Estate, the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our
Healthcare Real Estate projects are strategically aligned, and our tenants may be unable to compete
successfully.
Our Healthcare Real Estate and the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our
Healthcare Real Estate projects are strategically aligned often face competition from nearby
hospitals and other Healthcare Real Estate projects that provide comparable services. Any of our
properties may be adversely affected if the healthcare delivery system with which it is
strategically aligned is unable to compete successfully. There are numerous factors that determine
the ability of a healthcare delivery system to compete successfully, most of which are outside of
our control.
Our tenants face competition from other medical practices and service providers at nearby
hospitals and other Healthcare Real Estate. 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 tenants or competitors of
the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our Healthcare Real Estate 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 tenants may not be able to successfully compete which could
have an adverse impact on our projects.
A material aspect of our business is investment in Healthcare Real Estate which can be highly
illiquid
Our activities are primarily focused in real estate investment. Our operations will depend,
among other things, upon our ability to finance or monetize our projects with additional or new
equity partnerships. In the interim, such projects can be expected to be highly illiquid.
17
We may not realize the benefits that we anticipate from focusing on Healthcare Real Estate
As part of our business strategy, we focus on Healthcare Real Estate that is strategically
aligned with a healthcare delivery system. We may not realize the benefits that we anticipate as a
result of these strategic relationships. In particular, we may not obtain or realize increased
rents, long-term tenants, or reduced tenant turnover rates as compared to Healthcare Real Estate
with which we are not strategically aligned. Moreover, building a portfolio of Healthcare Real
Estate that is strategically aligned does not assure the success of any given property. The
associated healthcare delivery system may not be successful and the strategic alignment that we
seek for our Healthcare Real Estate could dissolve, and we may not succeed in replacing them.
Our investments in development and re-development projects may not yield anticipated returns
A key component of our business plan is new-asset development and re-development
opportunities. Our investment in these projects will be subject to the following risks:
|
|
|
we may be unable to obtain financing for these projects on
reasonable terms or at all; |
|
|
|
|
we may not complete development or re-development projects
on schedule or within budgeted amounts due to a variety of
factors, including materials and labor shortages and price
increases; |
|
|
|
|
we may encounter delays or refusals in obtaining all
necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy and other
required governmental permits and authorizations; and |
|
|
|
|
we may be unable to achieve planned occupancy levels as
quickly as expected or at all |
We may not be successful in identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions or development
opportunities in our existing or new geographic markets.
Our ability to expand through acquisitions and development opportunities is integral to our
business strategy and requires that we identify suitable acquisition or development opportunities
that meet our criteria and are compatible with our growth strategy. We may not be successful in
identifying suitable properties or other assets that meet our acquisition or development criteria
or in consummating acquisitions or developments on satisfactory terms or at all for a number of
reasons, including, among other things, unsatisfactory results of our due diligence investigations,
failure to obtain financing for the acquisition or development on favorable terms or at all, and
our misjudgment of the value of the opportunities.
We may face increasing competition for the acquisition and development of Healthcare Real Estate
We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for
acquisitions and development of Healthcare Real Estate, including national, regional and local
operators, acquirers and developers of healthcare-related real estate properties. The competition
for healthcare-related real estate properties may significantly increase the price that we must pay
for Healthcare Real Estate or other assets that we seek to acquire on the yield we can obtain on
new development projects, and our competitors may succeed in acquiring or developing those
properties or assets themselves.
We may not be successful in integrating and operating acquired or newly-developed Healthcare Real
Estate in the future.
If we acquire or develop Healthcare Real Estate, we will be required to operate and integrate
them into our existing operations. While we believe that our infrastructure is scalable, our
systems and processes may not be
able to efficiently handle the anticipated growth in our operations. We may not have the
requisite resources and personnel necessary to successfully operate and integrate acquired or newly
developed Healthcare Real Estate into our existing portfolio in the future, and we may need to
incur substantial unanticipated costs to meet our operating needs.
18
In addition, any Healthcare Real Estate that we acquire or develop in the future may be less
compatible with our growth strategy than we originally anticipated, may cause disruptions in our
operations or may divert managements attention away from daily operations.
We are exposed to risks associated with Real Estate Partnerships.
We have entered into Real Estate Partnerships and will likely do so in the future. We
anticipate that we will co-invest with third parties through Real Estate Partnership with the third
parties acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for the management of such
entities. We are not, and generally do not expect to be, in a position to exercise sole
decision-making authority regarding the Real Estate Partnership. Consequently, our Real Estate
Partnership investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment in
real estate. For example, our co-member, co-venturer or partner may have economic or business
interests or goals that are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and we and
our partner may not agree on all proposed actions to certain aspects of the Real Estate
Partnership. Our partners might fail to fund their share of required capital contributions which
may delay construction or development of a Healthcare Real Estate project or increase our financial
commitment to the Real Estate Partnership. In addition, relationships with venture partners are
contractual in nature. These agreements may restrict our ability to sell our interest when we
desire or on advantageous terms and, on the other hand, may be terminated or dissolved under the
terms of the agreements and, in each event, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or
assets underlying the relationship or may need to purchase these interests or assets to continue
ownership.
We may develop and acquire Healthcare Real Estate subject to ground or air space leases that will
expose us to the loss of such buildings upon a breach or termination of the ground or air space
leases.
We intend to develop and acquire Healthcare Real Estate through leasehold interests in the
land or air space underlying the buildings or the air space above the buildings. Our ground or air
space leases do and will in the future contain restrictions on use and transfer, such as limiting
the subletting of the Healthcare Real Estate only to practicing physicians or physicians in good
standing with an affiliated hospital. The use and transfer restrictions in our ground and air space
leases may limit our ability to sell our buildings which, in turn, could harm the price realized
from any such sale. Additionally, our ground and air space leases generally grant the lessor rights
of purchase and rights of first offer and refusal in the event that we elect to sell the Healthcare
Real Estate associated with the ground lease. As lessee under a ground or air space lease, we are
also exposed to the possibility of losing the medical office building upon termination, or an
earlier breach by us, of the lease, which may harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations and the trading price of our common stock.
The success of our business is dependent upon our management.
The success of our business is dependent upon the decision making of our directors and
executive officers, particularly Messrs. Gregory C. Venn, and Peter Kloepfer who not only are
executives for the firm but also are on the board and have a controlling interest in the board
through the voting trust. These individuals intend to commit as much time as necessary to our
business, but this commitment is no assurance of success. The loss of one or both of these
individuals could have a material, adverse impact on our operations. We have not obtained key man
life insurance on the lives of any of these individuals.
A voting trust controlled by Messrs Venn and Kloepfer owns 19,150,669 shares out of 49,455,841
shares issued and outstanding, or approximately a 38.7% interest. While this does not represent
majority control, the number of shares subject to the voting trust gives the voting trust the
ability to significantly influence any matters to be decided by the stockholders. As a result, if
they choose to vote, the voting trust would be able to significantly influence the outcome of any
corporate matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including
any transaction that might cause a change in control, such as a merger or acquisition. It is
unlikely that stockholders in favor of a matter which is opposed by the voting trust would be able
to obtain the number of votes necessary to overrule the vote of the voting trust. Further, the
control by the voting trust means that it may make decisions for us with which you may disagree or
that you may feel is not in our best interests. This arrangement could particularly create a
conflict of interest with respect to our operations if the voting trust were to vote its shares in
its own best interests and not in the interests of all stockholders.
19
Uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage could harm our financial condition
and our cash flows.
We maintain comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake, wind (as deemed necessary or as
required by our lenders), extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to our
properties. Certain types of losses, however, may be either uninsurable or not economically
insurable, such as losses due to earthquakes, riots, acts of war or terrorism. Should an uninsured
loss occur, we could lose both our investment in and anticipated profits and cash flows from a
medical office building. If any such loss is insured, we may be required to pay a significant
deductible on any claim for recovery of such a loss prior to our insurer being obligated to
reimburse us for the loss, or the amount of the loss may exceed our coverage for the loss. In
addition, future lenders may require such insurance, and our failure to obtain such insurance could
constitute a default under loan agreements. We may determine not to insure some or all of our
properties at levels considered customary in our industry and which would expose us to an increased
risk of loss. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the
trading price of our common stock may be harmed.
If any of our insurance carriers become insolvent, we could be adversely impacted.
We carry several different lines of insurance which are placed with several reputable
insurance carriers. If any one of these insurance carriers were to become insolvent, we would be
forced to replace the existing insurance coverage with another suitable carrier, and any
outstanding claims would be at risk for collection. In such an event, we may not be able to realize
proceeds from our insurance policies with respect to any claims that we have or replace the
coverage at similar or otherwise favorable terms. Replacing insurance coverage at unfavorable rates
and the potential for uncollectible claims due to carrier insolvency could harm our results of
operations and cash flows.
We face environmental compliance costs and liabilities associated with owning, leasing, developing
and operating our properties.
Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, current and
prior owners and operators of real estate may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of
investigating, remediating and monitoring certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials
on or in such property. In addition to these costs, the past or present owner or operator of a
property from which a release emanates could be liable for any personal injury or property damage
that results from such releases, including for the unauthorized release of asbestos-containing
materials and other hazardous substances into the air, as well as any damages to natural resources
or the environment that arise from such releases. These environmental laws often impose such
liability without regard to whether the current or prior owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence or release of such substances or materials. Moreover, the release of
hazardous substances or materials, or the failure to properly remediate such substances or
materials, may adversely affect the owners or operators ability to lease, sell, develop or rent
such property or to borrow by using such property as collateral. Persons who transport or arrange
for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility,
regardless of whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person.
Certain environmental laws impose compliance obligations on owners and operators of real
property with respect to the management of hazardous substances and other regulated materials. For
example, environmental laws govern the management and removal of asbestos-containing materials and
lead-based paint. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties or other sanctions.
20
Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry
Recent healthcare reform legislation may affect our business in ways that are difficult to predict.
In March 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(PPACA), which will change how healthcare services are covered, delivered and reimbursed through
expanded coverage of uninsured individuals and reduced Medicare program spending. In addition, the
new law reforms certain aspects of health insurance, expands existing efforts to tie Medicare and
Medicaid payments to performance and quality and contains provisions intended to strengthen fraud
and abuse enforcement. The complexities and ramifications of PPACA are significant and will be
implemented in a phased approach beginning in 2010. At this time, it is difficult to predict the
full effects of PPACA and its impact on our business, our revenues and financial condition and
those of our tenants due to the laws complexity, lack of implementing regulations or interpretive
guidance, gradual implementation and possible amendment. Further, we are unable to foresee how
individuals and businesses will respond to the choices afforded them by PPACA. PPACA could
adversely affect the reimbursement rates received by our tenants, the financial success of our
tenants and strategic partners and consequently us.
We may be impacted by adverse trends in healthcare provider operations.
The healthcare industry is currently experiencing, among other things:
|
|
|
changes in the demand for and methods of delivering healthcare services; |
|
|
|
|
changes in third party reimbursement methods and policies; |
|
|
|
|
consolidation and pressure to integrate within the healthcare industry through
acquisitions and Real Estate Partnerships; and |
|
|
|
|
increased scrutiny of billing, referral and other practices by U.S. federal and
state authorities. |
These factors may adversely affect the economic performance of some or all of our tenants and,
in turn, our lease revenues.
Reductions in reimbursement from third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could
adversely affect the profitability of our tenants and hinder their ability to make rent payments to
us or renew their lease.
Sources of revenue for our tenants typically include the U.S. federal Medicare program, state
Medicaid programs, private insurance payors and health maintenance organizations. Healthcare
providers continue to face increased government and private payor pressure to control or reduce
healthcare costs and significant reductions in healthcare reimbursement, including reduced
reimbursements and changes to payment methodologies under PPACA. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid
Services, or CMS, estimates the reductions required by PPACA over the next ten years will include
$233 billion in cuts to Medicare fee-for-service payments, the majority of which will come from
hospitals, and that some hospitals will become insolvent as a result of the reductions. In some
cases, private insurers rely upon all or portions of the Medicare payment systems to determine
payment rates which may result in decreased reimbursement from private insurers. PPACA will likely
increase enrollment in plans offered by private insurers who choose to participate in state-run
exchanges, but PPACA also imposes new requirements for the health insurance industry, including
prohibitions upon excluding individuals based upon pre-existing conditions which may increase
private insurer costs and, thereby, cause private insurers to reduce their payment rates to
providers.
21
The slowdown in the United States economy has negatively affected state budgets, thereby
putting pressure on states to decrease spending on state programs including Medicaid. The need to
control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in state
Medicaid programs due to unemployment and declines in family incomes. Historically, states have
often attempted to reduce Medicaid spending by limiting benefits and tightening Medicaid
eligibility requirements. Many states have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, legislation
designed to enroll Medicaid recipients in managed care programs and/or impose additional taxes on
hospitals to help finance or expand the states Medicaid systems. Potential reductions to Medicaid
program spending in response to state budgetary pressures could adversely affect the ability of our
tenants to successfully operate their businesses.
Efforts by payors to reduce healthcare costs will likely continue which may result in
reductions or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of our tenants.
A reduction in reimbursements to our tenants from third-party payors for any reason could adversely
affect our tenants ability to make rent payments to us.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated, and new laws or regulations, changes to existing laws
or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could harm our company and result
in the inability of our tenants to make rent payments to us.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by U.S. federal, state and local governmental
authorities. Our tenants generally will be subject to laws and regulations covering, among other
things, licensure, certification for participation in government programs, billing for services,
privacy and security of health information and relationships with physicians and other referral
sources. In addition, new laws and regulations, changes in existing laws and regulations or changes
in the interpretation of such laws or regulations could harm our financial condition and the
financial condition of our tenants. These changes, in some cases, could apply retroactively. The
enactment, timing or effect of legislative or regulatory changes cannot be predicted.
Many states also regulate the construction of healthcare facilities, the expansion of
healthcare facilities, the construction or expansion of certain services, including by way of
example specific bed types and medical equipment, as well as certain capital expenditures through
certificate of need, or CON, laws. Under such laws, the applicable state regulatory body must
determine a need exists for a project before the project can be undertaken. If one of our tenants
seeks to undertake a CON-regulated project, but is not authorized by the applicable regulatory body
to proceed with the project, the tenant would be prevented from operating in its intended manner.
Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm us directly and our tenants
ability to make rent payments to us which may harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations and the trading price of our common stock.
Our tenants and our company are subject to fraud and abuse laws, the violation of which by a tenant
may jeopardize the tenants ability to make rent payments to us.
There are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices
by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from or are in a position to make
referrals in connection with government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and
Medicaid programs. Our lease arrangements with certain tenants may also be subject to these fraud
and abuse laws.
These laws include without limitation:
|
|
|
the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among
other things, the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of
any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, the
referral of any federal or state healthcare program
patients; |
|
|
|
|
the Federal Physician Self-Referral Prohibition (commonly
called the Stark Law), which, subject to specific
exceptions, restricts physicians who have financial
relationships with healthcare providers from making
referrals for designated health services for which payment
may be made under Medicare or Medicaid programs to an entity
with which the physician, or an immediate family member, has
a financial relationship; |
22
|
|
|
the False Claims Act, which prohibits any person from
knowingly presenting false or fraudulent claims for payment
to the federal government, including under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs; |
|
|
|
|
the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which authorizes the
Department of Health and Human Services to impose monetary
penalties for certain fraudulent acts; and |
|
|
|
|
state anti-kickback, anti-inducement, anti-referral and
insurance fraud laws which may be generally similar to, and
potentially more expansive than, the federal laws set forth
above. |
Violations of these laws may result in criminal and/or civil penalties that range from
punitive sanctions, damage assessments, penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid
payments and/or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, PPACA clarifies
that the submission of claims for items or services generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback
Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the False Claims Act. The federal government
has taken the position, and some courts have held, that violations of other laws, such as the Stark
Law, can also be a violation of the False Claims Act. Additionally, certain laws, such as the False
Claims Act, allow for individuals to bring whistleblower actions on behalf of the government for
violations thereof. Imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenants or strategic
partners could jeopardize that tenants ability to operate or to make rent payments or affect the
level of occupancy in our Healthcare Real Estate, which may seriously harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the
trading price of our common stock. Further, we enter into leases and other financial relationships
with healthcare delivery systems that are subject to or impacted by these laws. We also have other
investors who are healthcare providers in certain of our subsidiaries that own our Healthcare Real
Estate. If any of our relationships, including those related to the other investors in our
subsidiaries, are found not to comply with these laws, we and our physician investors may be
subject to civil and/or criminal penalties.
Our healthcare-related tenants may be subject to significant legal actions that could subject them
to increased operating costs and substantial uninsured liabilities, which may harm their ability to
pay their rent payments to us, and we could be subject to healthcare industry violations.
As is typical in the healthcare industry, our tenants may become subject to claims that their
services have resulted in patient injury or other adverse effects. Many of these tenants may have
experienced an increasing trend in the frequency and severity of professional liability and general
liability insurance claims and litigation asserted against them. The insurance coverage maintained
by these tenants may not cover all claims made against them nor continue to be available at a
reasonable cost, if at all. In some states, insurance coverage for the risk of punitive damages
arising from professional liability and general liability claims and/or litigation may not, in
certain cases, be available to these tenants due to state law prohibitions or limitations of
availability. As a result, these types of tenants of our Healthcare Real Estate and
healthcare-related facilities operating in these states may be liable for punitive damage awards
that are either not covered or are in excess of their insurance policy limits.
We also believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental
investigations of certain healthcare providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false
claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations.
Insurance is not available to cover such losses. Any adverse determination in a legal proceeding or
governmental investigation, any settlements of such proceedings or investigations in excess of
insurance coverage, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material
adverse effect on a tenants financial condition. If a tenant is unable to obtain or maintain
insurance
coverage, if judgments are obtained or settlements reached in excess of the insurance
coverage, if a tenant is required to pay uninsured punitive damages, or if a tenant is subject to
an uninsurable government enforcement action or investigation, the tenant could be exposed to
substantial additional liabilities, which may affect the tenants ability to pay rent, which in
turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our
common stock. We could also be subject to costly government investigations or other enforcement
actions which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and
the trading price of our common stock.
