EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 20182019 of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership (“Omega OP”). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, (i) references to “Omega” or the “Company” means Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (ii) references to “Parent” refer to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. without regard to its consolidated subsidiaries, and (iii) references to “Omega OP” means OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Omega is a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Omega is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) under which all of Omega'sOmega’s assets are owned directly or indirectly by, and all of Omega'sOmega’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly through, its operating partnership subsidiary, Omega OP.

Parent directly owned approximately 96%97% of the issued and outstanding partnership units in Omega OP (the “Omega OP Units”) at June 30, 2018.2019. Each Omega OP Unit (other than those owned by Parent) is redeemable at the election of the holder for cash equal to the then-fair market value of one share of common stock of Parent, subject to Parent’s election to exchange the Omega OP Units tendered for redemption for common stock of the Parent on a one-for-one basis in an unregistered transaction, subject to adjustment as set forth in the partnership agreement. The management of Parent consists of the same members as the management of Omega OP.

The financial results of Omega OP are consolidated into the financial statements of Omega. Omega has no significant assets other than its investments in Omega OP. Omega and Omega OP are managed and operated as one entity. Omega OP has no significant assets other than its interests in non-guarantor subsidiaries.

We believe it is important for investors to understand the few differences between Omega and Omega OP in the context of how we operate as a consolidated company. Omega acts as the general partner of Omega OP. Net proceeds from equity issuances by Parent are contributed to Omega OP in exchange for additional partnership units. Parent and Omega OP incur indebtedness. The net proceeds of the Parent’s borrowings are loaned to Omega OP. The outstanding senior notes and certain other debt of Parent is guaranteed by Omega OP.

The presentation of debt and related interest, including amounts accrued, stockholders’ equity, owners’ equity and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Omega and Omega OP. The differences between debt, stockholders’ equity and owners’ equity result from differences in the debt or equity issued at the Omega and Omega OP levels. With respect to owners’ equity, the units held by the partners in Omega OP other than the Parent are accounted for as owners’ equity in Omega OP’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in Omega’s financial statements. Although classified differently, total debt and equity of Omega and Omega OP are the same.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Omega and Omega OP into this single report results in the following benefits:

·combined reports better reflect how management and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit;
·combined reports enhance investors’ understanding of Omega and Omega OP by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;
·combined reports are more efficient for Omega and Omega OP and result in savings in time, effort and expense; and
·combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

In order to highlight the differences between Omega and Omega OP, the separate sections in this report for Omega and Omega OP specifically refer to Omega and Omega OP. In the sections that combine disclosure of Omega and Omega OP, this report refers to “we” and “us” actions or holdings as being “our” actions or holdings. Although Omega OP and its subsidiaries hold all of our assets, we believe that reference to “we,” “us” or “our” in this context is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and we operate substantially all of our business through Omega OP.

OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVESTORS, INC. AND OHI HEALTHCARE PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unaudited

June 30, 20182019

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Overview and Organization

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) was formed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. Omega is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) under which all of Omega'sOmega’s assets are owned directly or indirectly by, and all of Omega'sOmega’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly through, its operating partnership subsidiary, OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership (“Omega OP”). Omega OP was formed as a limited partnership and organized in the State of Delaware on October 24, 2014. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” means Omega and Omega OP, collectively.

The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the United States (“U.S.”) and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and to a lesser extent, assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), and to a lesser extent, independent living facilities, and rehabilitation and acute care facilities.facilities (“specialty facilities”) and medical office buildings (“MOBs”). Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. AllExcept for one MOB, all of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor. Our other investment income derivesis derived from fixed and variable rate loans to our operators to fund working capital and capital expenditures. These loans, which aremay be either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower.

borrower, are classified as other investments.

Omega OP is governed by the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Partnership Agreement”). Omega has exclusive control over Omega OP’s day-to-day management pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. As of June 30, 2018,2019, Omega owned approximately 96%97% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP (“Omega OP Units”), and investors owned approximately 4%3% of the outstanding Omega OP Units.

On May 17, 2019, Omega and Omega OP completed their merger with MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc. (“MedEquities”) and its subsidiary operating partnership and the general partner of its subsidiary operating partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 26, 2019, (the “Merger Agreement”) Omega acquired MedEquities and MedEquities was merged with and into Omega (the “Merger”) at the effective time of the Merger with Omega continuing as the surviving company. At the effective time, each outstanding share of MedEquities common stock was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.235 of a share of Omega common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares and (ii) $2.00 in cash.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MedEquities declared a special dividend of $0.21 per share of MedEquities common stock (the “Pre-Closing Dividend”) payable to the holders of record of MedEquities common stock as of the trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger, which dividend was payable following the effective time of the Merger together with the cash consideration under the Merger Agreement.  For additional information see Note 2  - Properties and Investments.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018.26, 2019.

Omega’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega, (ii) Omega OP, and (iii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega.Omega and (iv) other entities in which Omega or Omega OP has a majority voting interest and control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation,,and Omega’s net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

12

Omega OP’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega OP, and (ii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega OP.OP and (iii) other entities in which Omega OP has a majority voting interest and control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. We may change our original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affects the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.

Our variable interests in VIEs may be in the form of equity ownership, leases, guarantees and/or loans with our operators. We analyze our agreements and investments to determine whether our operators or unconsolidated joint venture are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.

We consolidate a VIE when we determine that we are its primary beneficiary. We identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of an entity include: (i) our voting rights, if any; (ii) our involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions; (iii) our risk and reward sharing; (iv) the financial condition of the operator or joint venture and (iv) our representation on the VIE’s board of directors.  We perform this analysis on an ongoing basis.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we have not consolidated any VIEs, as we do not have the power to direct the activities of any VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and we do not have the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIEs that could be significant to the entity. See Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities.

15

Real Estate Investments and Depreciation

The costs of significant improvements, renovations and replacements, including interest are capitalized. In addition, we capitalize leasehold improvements when certain criteria are met, including when we supervise construction and will own the improvement. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as they are incurred.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from 20 to 40 years for buildings, eight to 15 years for site improvements, and three to ten years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold interests are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or term of the lease.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The majority of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held at major commercial banks. Certain cash account balances exceed FDIC insurance limits of $250,000 per account and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of the insurance limits. We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash, cash equivalents or restricted cash.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of liquidity deposits escrowed for tenant obligations required by us pursuant to certain contractual terms. Prior to June 1, 2018, restricted cash also included other deposits required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) in connection with our mortgage borrowings guaranteed by HUD. For additional information see Note 2 – Properties and Investments and Note 14 – Borrowing Activities and Arrangements.

13

Real Estate Investment Impairment

Management evaluates our real estate investments for impairment indicators at each reporting period, including the evaluation of our assets’ useful lives. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on factors such as, but not limited to, market conditions, operator performance including the current payment status of contractual obligations and expectations of the ability to meet future contractual obligations, legal structure, as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, management evaluates the carrying value of the related real estate investments in relation to management’s estimate of future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying facilities. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are generally based on the related lease which relates to one or more properties and may include cash flows from the eventual disposition of the asset. In some instances, there may be various potential outcomes for a real estate investment and its potential future cash flows. In these instances, the undiscounted future cash flows used to assess the recoverability are probability-weighted based on management’s best estimates as of the date of evaluation. Provisions for impairment losses related to long-lived assets are recognized when expected future undiscounted cash flows based on our intended use of the property are determined to be less than the carrying values of the assets. An adjustment is made to the net carrying value of the real estate investments for the excess of carrying value over fair value. The fair value of the real estate investment is determined based on current market conditions and considers matters such as rental rates and occupancies for comparable properties, recent sales data for comparable properties, and, where applicable, contracts or the results of negotiations with purchasers or prospective purchasers. Additionally, our evaluation of fair value may consider valuing the property as a nursing home as well as alternative uses. All impairments are taken as a period cost at that time, and depreciation is adjusted going forward to reflect the new value assigned to the asset. Management’s impairment evaluation process, and when applicable, impairment calculations involve estimation of the future cash flows from management’s intended use of the property as well as the fair value of the property. Changes in the facts and circumstances that drive management’s assumptions may result in an impairment of the Company’s assets in a future period that could be material to the Company’s results of operations.

For the three months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recognized impairment (a recovery on) impairmentrecovery) on real estate properties of $(1.1)approximately $5.7 million and $10.1$(1.1) million, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recognized impairment on real estate properties of $5.7 million and $3.8 million, and $17.8 million, respectively. For additional information see Note 2 – Properties and Investments.

16

Allowance for Losses on Mortgages, Other Investments and Direct Financing Leases

The allowances for losses on mortgage notes receivable, other investments and direct financing leases (collectively, our “loans”) are maintained at a level believed adequate to absorb potential losses. The determination of the allowances is based on a quarterly evaluation of these loans, including general economic conditions and estimated collectability of loan payments. We evaluate the collectability of our loans based on a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, delinquency status, financial strength of the borrower and guarantors, if applicable, and the value of the underlying collateral. If such factors indicate that there is greater risk of loan charge-offs, additional allowances or placement on non-accrual status may be required. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due as scheduled according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. Consistent with this definition, all loans on non-accrual status may be deemed impaired. To the extent circumstances improve and the risk of collectability is diminished, we will return these loans to full accrual status. When management identifies potential loan impairment indicators, the loan is written down to the present value of the expected future cash flows. In cases where expected future cash flows are not readily determinable, the loan is written down to the fair value of the underlying collateral, if applicable. We may base our valuation on a loan’s observable market price, if any, or the fair value of collateral, net of sales costs, if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the collateral.

We account for impaired loans using (a) the cost-recovery method, and/or (b) the cash basis method. We generally utilize the cost-recovery method for impaired loans for which impairment reserves were recorded. We utilize the cash basis method for impaired loans for which no impairment reserves were recorded because the net present value of the discounted cash flows expected under the loan and/or the underlying collateral supporting the loan were equal to or exceeded the book value of the loan. Under the cost-recovery method, we apply cash received against the outstanding loan balance prior to recording interest income. Under the cash basis method, we apply cash received to principal or interest income based on the terms of the agreement. As of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we had $177.1$4.9 million and $177.5$108.1 million, respectively, of reserves on our loans. For additional information see Note 3 – Direct Financing Leases and Note 4 – Mortgage Notes Receivable and Note 5 – Other Investments.

Receivable.

Goodwill Impairment

We assess goodwill for potential impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. In evaluating goodwill for impairment on an interim basis, we assess qualitative factorssuch as asignificant decline in real estate valuations,current macroeconomic conditions, state of the equity and capital markets and our overall financial and operating performanceor a significant decline in the value of our market capitalization, to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. On an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or on an interim basis if we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment and measure the amount of impairment we will recognize, if any.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests is the portion of equity not attributable to the respective reporting entity. We present the portion of any equity that we do not own in consolidated entities as noncontrolling interests and classify those interests as a component of total equity, separate from total stockholders’ equity, or owners’ equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We include net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in net income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As our ownership of a controlled subsidiary increases or decreases, any difference between the aggregate consideration paid to acquire the noncontrolling interests and our noncontrolling interest balance is recorded as a component of equity in additional paid-in capital, so long as we maintain a controlling ownership interest.

17

The noncontrolling interest for Omega represents the outstanding Omega OP Units held by outside investors.investors and interests in a consolidated real estate joint venture not fully owned by Omega.

The noncontrolling interest for Omega OP represents outside investors interests in a consolidated real estate joint venture not fully owned by Omega OP.

Foreign Operations

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries operating in the U.S. The functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries operating in the U.K. is the British Pound (“GBP”). For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar (“USD”), we translate their financial statements into the USD. We translate assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are included in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), as a separate component of equity and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests.

interests, if applicable.

We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries may have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in the entity’s functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in results of operations, unless it is intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature in which case the adjustments are included in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s AOCL and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests.

interests, if applicable.

Derivative Instruments

Cash flow hedges

During our normal course of business, we may use certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate and currency risk. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at the inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with the Company’s related assertions. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives required to be bifurcated, as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value which is determined using a market approach and Level 2 inputs. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s AOCL as a separate component of equity and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest.interest, if applicable. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes designating all derivatives that are part of a hedging relationship to specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized liabilities or assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also assess and document, both at inception of the hedging relationship and on a quarterly basis thereafter, whether the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting the designated risks associated with the respective hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively and record the appropriate adjustment to earnings based on the current fair value of the derivative. As a matter of policy, we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. At June 30, 20182019, $3.6 million of qualifying cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2017, $7.72018, $4.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of qualifying cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheet.

Net investment hedge

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the GBP against its functional currency, the USD, relating to its investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the U.K. The Company uses a nonderivative, GBP-denominated term loan to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the GBP-USD exchange rate. The foreign currency transaction gain or loss on the nonderivative hedging instrument that is designated and qualifies as a net investment hedge is reported in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s AOCL in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contractual Receivables and Other Receivables and Lease Inducements

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes: contractual receivables, effective yield interest receivables, straight-line rent receivables and lease inducements, net of an estimated provision for losses related to uncollectible and disputed accounts. Contractual receivables relate to the amounts currently owed to us under the terms of our lease and loan agreements. Effective yield interest receivables relate to the difference between the interest income recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan agreement and the interest currently due to us according to the contractual agreement. Straight-line rent receivables relate to the difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and the amounts currently due to us according to the contractual agreement. Lease inducements result from value provided by us to the lessee, at the inception, modification, or renewal of the lease, and are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the non-cancellable lease term.

We assess the probability of collecting substantially all rents under our leases based on several factors, including, among other things, payment history, the financial strength of the lessee and any guarantors, the historical operations and operating trends, the historical payment pattern of the lessee, expected future performance and current economic conditions.  If our evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that we will be unable to collect substantially all rents, we recognize a charge to rental income and limit our rental income to the lesser of lease income on a straight-line basis plus variable rents when they become accruable or cash collected.  If we change our conclusion regarding the probability of collecting rent payments required by a lessee, we may recognize an adjustment to rental income in the period we make a change to our prior conclusion.  

On a quarterly basis, and more frequently as appropriate, we review our accounts receivableinterest receivables, effective yield interest receivables and direct financing lease receivables to determine their collectability. The determination of collectability of these assets requires significant judgment and is affected by several factors relating to the credit quality of our operators that we regularly monitor, including (i) payment history, (ii) the age of the contractual receivables, (iii) the current economic conditions and reimbursement environment, (iv) the ability of the tenant to perform under the terms of their lease and/or contractual loan agreements and (v) the value of the underlying collateral of the agreement, if any. If we determine collectability of any of our contractual receivables is at risk, we estimate the potential uncollectible amounts and provide an allowance. In the case of a lease recognized on a straight-line basis,

For a loan recognized on an effective yield basis or the existence ofa direct financing lease, inducements, we generally provide an allowance for straight-line, effective interest and/or lease inducement accounts receivableincome from direct financing leases when certain conditions or indicators of adverse collectability are present.  If thethese accounts receivable balance isbalances are subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance are written off.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2018

2019

In 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09,Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersLeases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment.. In addition, the FASB issued targeted updates to clarify specific implementation issues of ASU 2014-09. These updates included ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.As a result of adopting ASU 2014-09 and its updates on January 1, 2018, the Company recognized $10.0 million of deferred gain resulting from the sale of facilities to a third-party in December 2017 through opening equity on January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and its subsequent updates in accordance with the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 and its related updates did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as a substantial portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements and interest income from loan arrangements, both of which are specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09 and its updates.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,2018-01, Derivatives and Hedging: TargetedLeases (Topic 842):Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, ASU 2018-10, Leases (Topic 842):Codification Improvements to AccountingTopic 842, Leases, ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Hedging ActivitiesLessors(“ASU 2017-12”). The purposeThese standards are collectively referred to herein as Topic 842 and set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of this updatedleases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). Topic 842 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Topic 842 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to the previous guidance is to better alignfor sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Topic 842 was adopted by us on January 1, 2019 using the financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective method. Upon adoption, we applied the package of practical expedients that allowed us to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. Furthermore, we applied the optional transition method, in any interim period after issuance ofwhich allowed us to initially apply Topic 842 at the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method will require the Company todate and recognize thea cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2017-12 as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of equity in the period of adoption, although we did not record an adjustment as of January 1, 2019.  During the beginningthree months ended June 30, 2019, we made an immaterial adjustment to the equity balance as of April 1, 2019 of approximately $8.5 million to reflect our assessment of the fiscal yearcollectability of certain operator’s future contractual lease payments based on the facts and circumstances that an entity adopts the update. Onexisted as of January 1, 2018,2019. Additionally, our leases met the Company adopted ASU 2017-12 usingcriteria in Topic 842 to not separate non-lease components from the modified retrospective transition method. related lease component.  We have elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from the measurement of lease revenue and expense and we have excluded those costs paid directly by lessees to third parties.  

20

Upon adoption, we recorded total initial non-cash right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $11.1 million. We also began recording variable lease payments as rental income and real estate tax expense for those facilities’ property taxes that we pay directly and are reimbursed by our operators. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $2.8 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of rental income and $4.0 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of real estate tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  We also began recording rental income and ground lease expense for those assets we lease and are reimbursed by our operators and/or are paid for directly by our operators.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of rental income and $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of ground lease expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  

In addition, provisions for operating lease losses are recognized as a direct reduction to rental income.  Provisions for operating lease losses prior to January 1, 2019 were recorded in provision for uncollectible accounts on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Lessee Disclosure

At the inception of the lease and over its term, we evaluate each lease to determine the proper lease classification.  Certain of these leases provide us the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the space specified in the lease. Therefore, we have determined that they should be evaluated as lease arrangements.

As a result of adopting the standard,lessee, the Company is making certain adjustmentsparty to its existing hedge designation documentationground and/or facility leases related to 11 SNFs and three offices which are classified as operating leases.  Substantially all of our operating leases contain provisions for active hedging relationshipsspecified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in order to take advantageone of three methods depending on the specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 1.0% and 3.0%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (e.g., increases in the new guidanceConsumer Price Index); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years.  The initial terms of our ground leases range between 10 years and 100 years.  Our office leases have initial terms of approximately 10 years.  Certain leases have options to fully alignextend, terminate or purchase the asset and have been considered in our analysis of the lease term and the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.  The discount rate utilized in forming the basis of our right of use assets and lease liabilities approximates our cost of debt.  We have not recognized a right of use asset and/or lease liability for leases with terms of 12 months or less and without an option to purchase the underlying asset.  

On a monthly basis, we remeasure our lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement.  Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  

We do not include in our measurement of our lease liability certain variable payments, including changes in an index until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred.

As a lessee, certain of our operating leases contain non-lease components, such as our proportionate share of common area expenses. We have determined that all of our operating leases qualify for the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components because (i) the lease components are operating leases and (ii) the timing and pattern of recognition of the non-lease components are the same as the lease components. We apply Topic 842, to the combined component.  Lease expense derived from our operating leases is recorded in general and administrative in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Lessor Disclosures

At the inception of the lease and over its documentationterm, we evaluate each lease to determine the proper lease classification.  Certain of these leases provide our operators the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the physical space specified in the lease, therefore we have determined that they should be evaluated as lease arrangements.

As lessor, our leased real estate properties, represented by 744 SNFs, 117 ALFs, 28 specialty facilities and two medical office buildings at June 30, 2019, are leased under provisions of single or master operating leases with ASU 2017-12. The adoptioninitial terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, plus renewal options.  See Note 2 – Properties and Investments.  As of ASU 2017-12 didJune 30, 2019, we have determined that all but two of our leases should be accounted for as operating leases. Two leases are accounted for as direct financing leases.  See Note 3 – Direct Financing Leases.  Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.  

Substantially all of our operating leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of three methods depending on the specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (e.g., increases in the Consumer Price Index); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years.  Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectibility of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. If we determine that it is not probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected, we account for the revenue under the lease on a cash basis. Changes in the assessment of probability are accounted for on a cumulative basis as if the lease had always been accounted for based on the current determination of the likelihood of collection potentially resulting in increased volatility of rental revenue. Some of our leases have options to extend, terminate or purchase the facilities, which are considered when determining the lease term.  We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including changes in an index until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred.

22

Certain of our operating leases require the operators to reimburse us for property taxes and other expenditures that are not considered components of the lease and therefore no consideration is allocated to them as they do not result in the transfer of a material impact ongood or service to the operators. We have determined that all of our leases qualify for the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components because (i) the lease components are operating leases and (ii) the timing and pattern of recognition of the non-lease components are the same as the lease components. We apply Topic 842, to the combined component.  Income derived from our leases is recorded in rental income in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Certain tenants are obligated to pay directly their obligations under their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and certain other expenses. These obligations, which have been assumed by the tenants under the terms of their respective leases, are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. To the extent any tenant responsible for these obligations under their respective lease defaults on its lease or if it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such costs, we would record a liability for such obligation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases(“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. As a result of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company may be required to record real estate tax revenues and an equal and offsetting real estate tax expense, as a result of our operators paying real estate taxes on our behalf. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11,Leases(“ASU 2018-11”): Targeted Improvementsto simplify the implementation of ASU 2016-02. This targeted improvement permits the adoption of ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements and a practical expedient permitting lessors to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 and its updates, we intend to transition to the new leasing accounting standard on January 1, 2019, without modifying our prior year balance sheet and recognizing the cumulative-effect adjustment to opening equity. We continue to evaluate the other impacts of adopting ASU 2016-02 and its updates on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)(Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted2019.  ASU 2016-13 specifically excludes from its scope receivables arising from operating leases accounted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018.under Topic 842.  We are currently evaluatingexpect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach.  We continue to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – PROPERTIES AND INVESTMENTS

Leased Property

Our leased real estate properties, represented by 709 SNFs, 116 ALFs, 14 specialty facilities and one medical office building at June 30, 2018, are leased under provisions of single or master operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from five to 15 years, plus renewal options. Also see Note 3 – Direct Financing Leases for information regarding additional properties accounted for as direct financing leases. Substantially all of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of three methods depending on specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (e.g., increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years. Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.

On May 17, 2019, Omega and Omega OP completed the MedEquities Merger.  In accordance with the Merger Agreement, each share of MedEquities common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.235 of a share of Omega common stock plus the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Omega common stock, and (ii) an amount in cash equal to $2.00 (the “Cash Consideration”).  In connection with the MedEquities Merger, we issued approximately 7.5 million shares of Omega common stock and paid approximately $63.7 million of cash consideration to former MedEquities stockholders.  We borrowed approximately $350 million under our existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility to fund the cash consideration and the repayment of MedEquities’ previously outstanding debt.  As a result of the MedEquities Merger, we acquired 33 facilities subject to operating leases, four mortgages, three other investments and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.  We also acquired other assets and assumed debt and other liabilities.  Based on the closing price of our common stock on May 16, 2019, the fair value of the consideration exchanged approximated $346 million.

During the first quarter of 2018,2019, we sold 14 facilities (five ofone facility which werewas previously held for sale at December 31, 2017) subject to operating leases2018 for approximately $74.7$0.4 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net gain on sale of approximately $17.5$3,000.  

During the second quarter of 2019, we sold three facilities subject to operating leases and a parcel of land for approximately $8.6 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a net loss of approximately $0.3 million.  In addition, we recorded impairments on real estate properties of approximately $4.9$7.6 million on 17 facilities (16 of which were subsequently reclassified to assets held for sale).

In addition, we recorded impairments of approximately $4.1 million on nine facilities (three of which were subsequently reclassified to assets held for sale). Our2019 impairments were offset by $5.2$1.9 million of insurance proceeds received related to a facility that was destroyed in November 2017.by a storm.

(1)Orianna has been excluded from the contractual minimum rent payments due under our direct financing leases as the facilities are expected to be transitioned or sold. See below for additional information.

In June 2018, we sold one SNF with a carrying value of approximately $15.4 million subject to a direct financing lease to an unrelated third-party for approximately $15.4 million.

Former Orianna Direct Financing Lease

On November 27, 2013, we closed an aggregate $529 million purchase/leaseback transaction in connection with the acquisition of Ark Holding Company, Inc. (“Ark Holding”) by 4 West Holdings Inc. At closing, we acquired 55 SNFs and 1 ALF operated by Ark Holding and leased the facilities back to Ark Holding, now known as New Ark Investment Inc. (“New Ark” which does business as “Orianna Health Systems” and is herein referred to as “Orianna”), pursuant to four 50-year master leases withproviding for contractual rental payments yielding 10.6% per annum over the term of the leases. The purchase/leaseback transaction is beingwas accounted for as a direct financing lease.

The 38 facilities remaining under our master leases with Orianna as of June 30, 2018 are located in seven states, predominantly in the southeastern U.S. (37 facilities) and Indiana (1 facility). Our recorded investment in these direct financing leases, net of the $172.2 million allowance, amounted to $337.7 million as of June 30, 2018. We have not recognized any direct financing lease income from Orianna for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

20

Orianna has not satisfied the contractual payments due under the terms of the remaining two direct financing leases or the separate operating lease covering four facilities with the Company and the collectability of future amounts due is uncertain.

In March 2018, Orianna commenced voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”).As described in Orianna’s filingsof December 31, 2018, we had 15 SNFs subject to a direct financing lease with theOrianna with a carrying value of approximately $120.5 million, net of an allowance of $103.2 million. 

On January 11, 2019, pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court we entered intoorder, affiliates of Orianna purchased the remaining 15 SNFs for $176 million of consideration, comprised of $146 million in cash received by Orianna and a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) that was expected to form$30.0 million seller note held by the basis for Orianna’s restructuring.Company.  The RSA provided for$30.0 million note bears interest at 6% per annum and matures on January 11, 2026.  Interest on the recommencement,unpaid principal balance is due quarterly in April 2018, of partial rentarrears. Commencing on January 11, 2022, quarterly principal payments at $1.0 million per month and establishedare due based on a specific timeline for15-year amortization schedule on the implementation of Orianna’s planned restructuring. The RSA provided for the transition of 23 facilities to new operators and the potential salethen outstanding principal balance of the remaining 19 facilities subject toloan.  On the plan of reorganization as approved bysame date, Orianna repaid the Bankruptcy Court. On July 25, 2018, we terminated the RSA with Orianna. See Note 19 – Subsequent Events.

To provide liquidity to Orianna during their Chapter 11 proceedings, we entered into a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) credit agreement with Orianna for a revolving credit and term loan DIP facility of up to $30 million, which DIP facility was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on an interim basis on March 9, 2018 and on a final basis on May 14, 2018. On July 23, 2018, we notified Orianna that it was in default under the DIP facility.financing, including all related interest.  See Note 5 – Other Investments and Note 19 – Subsequent Events.Investments.  

27

On January 16, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed Orianna’s plan, creating a Distribution Trust (the “Trust”) to distribute the proceeds from Orianna’s sale of the remaining 15 SNFs, as well as the Trust’s collections of Orianna’s accounts receivable portfolio.  In January 2019, we reclassified our net investment in direct financing lease of $115.8 million from the Trust to other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.  For the period from January 16, 2019 through June 30, 2019, we received approximately $88 million from the Trust as a partial liquidation including approximately $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.    

In 2017,March 2019, we received updated information from the Trust indicating diminished collectability of the accounts receivable owed to us.  As a result, we recorded an additional $7.7 million allowance for loss on direct financing leasesduring the three months ended March 31, 2019, reducing our remaining receivable from the Trust to approximately $21.1 million as of $172.2March 31, 2019.  As of June 30, 2019, our remaining receivable from the Trust is $19.1 million.  As of June 30, 2019, the Trust was comprised of $20.7 million of cash and accounts receivable, net of an estimated allowance, of $4.2 million.  We expect that the aggregate of such amounts will be used to pay estimated costs of $5.8 million to other creditors and to wind down the Trust, with Orianna covering 38 facilities in the Southeast regionremainder paid to us.  The amount payable to us is contingent upon the collection of the U.S. The amount ofaccounts receivable balances and the allowance was determined based onestimated costs to wind down the fair value of the facilitiesTrust. These amounts are estimated and remain subject to the direct financing lease. To estimate the fair value of the underlying collateral, we utilized an income approach and Level 3 inputs. Our estimate of fair value assumed annual rents ranging between $32.0 million and $38.0 million, rental yields between 9% and 10%, current and projected operating performance of the facilities, coverage ratios and bed values. Such assumptions are subject to change based on changes in market conditions and the ultimate resolution of this matter.change. Such changes could be significantly different than the currently estimated fair valueamounts and such differences could have a material impact on our financial statements.

In addition to our direct financing leases with Orianna, we own four facilities and lease them to Orianna under a master lease which expires in 2026. The four facility lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. We have not recognized any income on this operating lease for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, as Orianna did not pay the contractual amounts due and collectability is uncertain. Our recorded investment in the four facilities subject to this operating lease was $37.3 million as of June 30, 2018.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

As of June 30, 2018,2019, mortgage notes receivable relate to sixeight fixed rate mortgage notes on 53 long-term care51 facilities. The mortgage notes are secured by first mortgage liens on the borrowers'borrowers’ underlying real estate and personal property. The mortgage notes receivable relate to facilities located in sixeight states that are operated by fiveeight independent healthcare operating companies. We monitor compliance with mortgages and when necessary have initiated collection, foreclosure and other proceedings with respect to certain outstanding mortgage notes.

Mortgage interest income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related mortgage notes, typically using the effective yield method. Allowances are provided against earned revenues from mortgage interest when collection of amounts due becomes questionable or when negotiations for restructurings of troubled operators lead to lower expectations regarding ultimate collection. When collection is uncertain, mortgage interest income on impaired mortgage loans is recognized as received after taking into account the application of security deposits.

$112.5 Million of Mortgage Note due 2027

On January 17, 2014, we entered into a $112.5 million first mortgage loan with an existing operator. The loan is secured by 7 SNFs and 2 ALFs located in Pennsylvania (7) and Ohio (2). The mortgage is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with our existing master lease with the operator. In March 2018, we extended the maturity date to January 31, 2027 and provided an option to extend the maturity for a five year period through January 31, 2032 and a second option to extend the maturity for a two year period through September 30, 2034.

$530.0 Million of Mortgage Notes due 2029

On June 30, 2014, we entered into a mortgage loan agreement with Ciena Healthcare (“Ciena”) to refinance/consolidate $117 million in existing mortgages with maturity dates ranging from 2021 to 2023 on 17 facilities into one mortgage and simultaneously provide mortgage financing for an additional 14 facilities. The $415 million mortgage (the “Master Mortgage”) matures in 2029 and is secured by 30 facilities. The Master Mortgage note bore an initial interest rate of 9.0% per annum which increases each year by 0.225% per annum. As of June 30, 2018, the outstanding principal balance of the Master Mortgage note is approximately $410.0 million and the interest rate is 9.68% per annum.

Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company amended its Master Mortgage with Ciena to provide for additional borrowings in the form of incremental facility mortgages, construction and/or improvement mortgages with maturity dates in 2018, 2019 and 2029 with initial annual interest rates ranging between 8.5% and 10% and fixed annual escalators of 2% or 2.5% over the prior year’s interest rate, or a fixed increase of 0.225% per annum. As of June 30, 2018 the outstanding principal balance of these mortgage notes are approximately $75.8 million.

In June 2018, we amended the Master Mortgage with the addition of a $44.7 million mortgage note related to five SNFs located in Michigan. The mortgage note matures on June 30, 2029 and bears an initial annual interest rate of 9.5% which increases each year by 0.225%. As of June 30, 2018 the outstanding principal balance of this mortgage note is approximately $44.2 million. Additionally, the Company committed to fund an additional $9.6 million to Ciena if certain performance metrics are achieved by the portfolio.

The mortgage notes with Ciena are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with our existing master lease and other investment notes with the operator.

Mortgage notes paid off

In January 2018, one of our operators repaid two construction loans with a total outstanding balance of approximately $21.2 million. These construction loans bore interest at 8.75%.

In March 2018, we agreed to provide senior secured superpriority DIP financing to Orianna consisting of a $14.2 million term loan and a $15.8 million revolving credit facility.  The DIP financing has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The DIP financing iswas secured by a security interest in and liens on substantially all of Orianna’s existing and future real and personal property.  The $14.2 million term loan bearsbore interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 5.5% per annum and maturesmatured on September 30, 2018.

NOTE 7 – INVESTMENTINVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTUREVENTURES

Consolidated Joint Venture

In February 2019, we entered into a joint venture to construct a 100,000 square foot medical office building in Lakeway, Texas with an estimated initial construction budget of approximately $36 million.  The Company owns 90% of the venture with the remaining 10% owned by outside investors.  During the first quarter of 2019, this consolidated joint venture acquired a parcel of land for approximately $3.6 million.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Lakeway Partnership

On May 17, 2019, in connection with the MedEquities Merger, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in Lakeway Realty, L.L.C. (the “Lakeway Partnership”), a joint venture that owns the Lakeway Regional Medical Center (the “Lakeway Hospital”).  The other 49% interest is owned indirectly by a physicians group and a non-physician investor.  The Lakeway Hospital  is an acute care hospital located in Lakeway, Texas. The Lakeway Partnership is also a lessor under a ground lease for a medical office building which is part of the Lakeway Hospital campus.  On the merger date, the Company’s ownership interest in the Lakeway Partnership had a preliminary fair value of approximately $73.9 million (subject to the completion of our purchase accounting). Our investment in the Lakeway Partnership consists primarily of real estate. We estimated the fair value of the underlying real estate considering the lessees’ purchase option (Level 1) which is discussed in more detail below, third-party appraisals and discounted cash flows associated with the ground lease (Level 3). Our preliminary initial basis difference of approximately $69.9 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years to income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.  We account for our investment in this joint venture using the equity method.  The accounting policies for this unconsolidated joint venture are the same as those of the Company.  

The Company also acquired a first mortgage lien issued to Lakeway Partnership in the original principal amount of approximately $73.0 million bearing interest at 8% per annum based on a 25-year amortization schedule and maturing on March 20, 2025.  We have preliminarily determined the acquisition date fair value of the acquired mortgage is $69.1 million.

We receive a monthly administrative fee of $5,000 from this joint venture for accounting services which is included in miscellaneous income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Lakeway Hospital  is leased pursuant to a triple-net lease to Scott & White Hospital – Round Rock (the “Baylor Lessee”), with Baylor University Medical Center (“BUMC”) as guarantor. These entities are part of the Baylor Scott & White Health system.  The lease provides that, commencing after completion of the third year of the lease (effective September 1, 2019) and subject to certain conditions, the Baylor Lessee has the option to purchase the Lakeway Hospital at a price equal to the aggregate base rent payable under the lease for the 12-month period following the date of the written notice from the Baylor Lessee to exercise the purchase option divided by (i) 6.5% if written notice is provided after completion of the third lease year and before completion of the tenth lease year or (ii) 7.0% if written notice is provided any time thereafter. In addition, the Baylor Lessee has a right of first refusal and a right of first offer in the event that the joint venture intends to sell or otherwise transfer Lakeway Hospital.

NOTE 12 – TAXES

Omega is a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes, and Omega OP is a pass through entity for United States federal income tax purposes.

34

Since our inception, Omega has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). A REIT is generally not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income which is distributed to its stockholders, provided that at least 90% of such taxable income is distributed each tax year and certain other requirements are met, including asset and income tests. So long as we qualify as a REIT under the Code, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the REIT taxable income that we distribute to stockholders, subject to certain exceptions.

If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and dividends paid to our stockholders will not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Further, we would not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is denied, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income; however, we believe we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. We test our compliance within the REIT taxation rules to ensure that we are in compliance with the REIT rules on a quarterly and annual basis. We review our distributions and projected distributions each year to ensure we have met and will continue to meet the annual REIT distribution requirements. In 2018,2019, we expect to pay dividends in excess of our taxable income.

29

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We have elected for twothree of our active subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. OneTwo of our TRSs isare domestic and are subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the other is subject to foreign income taxes. As of June 30, 2018,2019, one of our TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate ratesdomestic TRSs had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5.8$5.7 million. The loss carry-forward is fully reserved as of June 30, 2018,2019, with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization. Our net operating loss carryforwards will be carried forward for no more than 20 years.years, subject to certain limitations.  In connection with the MedEquities Merger on May 17, 2019, we acquired MedEquities Realty TRS, LLC.  MedEquities Realty TRS, LLC has no assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses and, accordingly, we have no tax accrual or net operating loss carryforward associated with this entity as of June 30, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded approximately $0.2$0.3 million and $0.5$0.2 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provision.provisions.  For the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded approximately $0.3$0.4 million and $1.5$0.3 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provision.provisions.  For the three months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded approximately $0.6$0.5 million and $0.1$0.6 million, respectively, of tax provisionprovisions for foreign income taxes.  For the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded approximately $1.0$1.1 million and $0.2$1.0 million, respectively, of tax provisionprovisions for foreign income taxes.  The expenses were included in income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted. The Tax Act includes numerous changes to existing U.S. tax law, including lowering the statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company has completed its preliminary assessment of these changes, and has determined that there is an immaterial impact to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 13 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On June 8, 2018, at our Company’s Annual Meeting, our stockholders approved the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which amended and restated the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2018 Plan is a comprehensive incentive compensation plan that allows for various types of equity-based compensation, including restricted stock units (including performance-based restricted stock units), stock awards (including restricted stock), deferred restricted stock units, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, performance unit awards, certain cash-based awards (including performance-based cash awards) and other stock-based awards. The 2018 Plan increases the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2013 Plan by 4.5 million.

The following is a summary of our stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively:

Time Based Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock UnitsEquity Awards

RestrictedTime-based restricted equity awards include restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and profit interest units.  These awards are subject to forfeiture if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of service or a change in control of the Company. Prior to vesting, ownership of the shares/units cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same dividend and voting rights as our common stock. RSUs accrue dividend equivalents but have no voting rights. Profit interest units accrue distributions, which are equivalent to dividend equivalents, but have no voting rights.  Once vested, each RSU is convertible into one share of Omega common stock and each profit interest unit is convertible into one partnership unit in Omega OP (“Omega OP Unit”), subject to certain conditions.  Restricted stock and RSUs are valued at the price of our common stock on the date of grant. The profit interest units are valued using a Monte Carlo model to estimate the fair value.  We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their vesting period. We awarded 169,90034,672 RSUs and 91,992 profit interest units to employees on January 1, 2018.2019.

Performance-Based Restricted Equity Awards

Performance Restricted Stock UnitsPerformance-based restricted equity awards include performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and LTIP Units

profit interest units. Performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and long term incentive planprofit interest units (“LTIP Units”) are subject to forfeiture if the performance requirements are not achieved or if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. The PRSUs and the LTIP Unitsprofit interest units have varying degrees of performance requirements to achieve vesting, and each PRSU and LTIP Unitsprofit interest unit award represents the right to a variable number of shares of common stock or partnership units. Each LTIP Unitprofit interest unit once earned and vested is convertible into one Omega OP Unit in Omega OP, subject to certain conditions. The vesting requirements are based on either the (i) total shareholder return (“TSR”) of Omega or (ii) Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the MSCI U.S. REIT Index for awards before 2016 and in the FTSE NAREIT Equity Health Care Index for awards granted in or after 2016 (both “Relative TSR”).Index. Vesting, in general, requires that the employee remain employed by us until the date specified in the applicable PRSU or LTIPprofit interest unit agreement, which may be later than the date that the TSR or Relative TSR requirements are satisfied. We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their service period.

Prior to vesting and the distribution of shares or profit interest units, ownership of the PRSUs or profit interest units cannot be transferred. Dividends on the PRSUs are accrued and only paid to the extent the applicable performance requirements are met. While each LTIP Unitprofit interest unit is unearned, the employee receives a partnership distribution equal to 10% of the quarterly approved regular periodic distributions per Omega OP Unit. The remaining partnership distributions (which in the case of normal periodic distributions is equal to the total approved quarterly dividend on Omega’s common stock) on the LTIP Unitsprofit interest unit accumulate, and if the LTIP Units areprofit interest unit is earned, the accumulated distributions are paid.

The number of shares or units earned under the TSR PRSUs or LTIP Unitsprofit interest units depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR over the indicated performance period. We awarded 677,488 LTIP Units133,887 TSR PRSUs and 377,766 TSR profit interest units to employees on January 1, 2018.

2019.

The number of shares or units earned under the Relative TSR PRSUs or profit interest units depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the MSCI U.S. REIT Index or FTSE NAREIT Equity Health Care Index TSR over the performance period indicated. We awarded 334,54479,844 Relative TSR PRSUs and 231,087 Relative TSR profit interest units to employees on January 1, 2018.2019.

2017 Omega OP Term Loan Facility

HUD Mortgage Disposition

On June 1, 2018, subsidiariesMay 25, 2017, Omega OP entered into a credit agreement (the “2017 Omega OP Credit Agreement”) providing it with a $100 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “2017 Omega OP Term Loan Facility”).  The 2017 Omega OP Credit Agreement replaced the $100 million senior unsecured term loan facility obtained by Omega OP in 2015.  The 2017 Omega OP Term Loan Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage (with a range of an existing operator90 to 190 basis points) based on our ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch Ratings. The 2017 Omega OP Term Loan Facility matures on May 25, 2022.

In connection with the MedEquities Merger on May 17, 2019, we assumed approximately $53various interest rate swap contracts.  We designated the interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk associated with the 2017 Omega OP Credit Agreement.  The assumed interest rate swap contracts effectively convert $75 million of our indebtedness guaranteed2017 Omega OP Credit Agreement to an aggregate fixed rate of approximately 3.29% through February 10, 2022. The effective fixed rate achieved by HUD that secured 12 separate facilities located in Arkansas. the combination of the 2017 Omega OP Credit Agreement and the interest rate swaps could fluctuate up by 55 basis points or down by 45 basis points based on future changes to our credit ratings. The 2017 Omega OP Credit Agreement will be unhedged for the period after February 10, 2022 through its maturity on May 25, 2022.  

Other Debt Assumption and Repayment

In connection with our dispositionthe MedEquities Merger on May 17, 2019, we assumed a $125.0 million term loan and outstanding borrowings of $160.1 million under MedEquities’ previous revolving credit facility.  We repaid the mortgages we wrote-off approximately $0.6 million of unamortized deferred costs that are recorded in (Loss) gaintotal outstanding balance on assets sold – netboth the term loan and the revolving credit facility and terminated the related agreements on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. These fixed rate mortgages had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.06% per annum and matured in July 2044. See Note 2 – Properties and Investments.May 17, 2019.  

General

Certain of our other secured and unsecured borrowings are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. As of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we were in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants, for our secured and unsecured borrowings. Omega OP, the guarantor of Parent’s outstanding senior notes, does not directly own any substantive assets other than its interest in non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument (see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017)2018). The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

·Direct financing leases:  The fair value of the investments in direct financing leases are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar leases to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3). In addition,For the Orianna direct financing lease as of December 31, 2018, the Company may estimateestimated the fair value of its investment based on the estimated fair value ofexpected liquidating payments from the collateral using a market approach or an income approach which considers inputs suchTrust as current and projected operating performance of the facilities, projected rent, prevailing capitalization rates and/or coverages and bed valuesfurther described in Note 3 – Direct Financing Leases (Level 3).

·Mortgage notes receivable:  The fair value of the mortgage notes receivables are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3).

39

·Other investments:  Other investments are primarily comprised of notes receivable. The fair values of notes receivable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3).

·Revolving line of credit, secured borrowing and term loans:  The fair value of our borrowings under variable rate agreements are estimated using a present value technique based on expected cash flows discounted using the current market rates (Level 3).

·Senior notes and subordinated debt:  The fair value of our borrowings under fixed rate agreements are estimated using a present value technique based on inputs from trading activity provided by a third-party (Level 2).

·HUD debt: The fair value of our borrowings under HUD debt agreements are estimated using an expected present value technique based on quotes obtained by HUD debt brokers (Level 2).

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

On November 16, 2017, a purported securities class action complaint captioned Dror Gronich v. Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc., C. Taylor Pickett, Robert O. Stephenson, and Daniel J. Booth was filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), Case No. 1:17-cv-08983-NRB (the “Gronich Securities Class Action”).17-cv-08983-NRB.  On November 17, 2017, a second purported securities class action complaint captioned Steve Klein v. Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc., C. Taylor Pickett, Robert O. Stephenson, and Daniel J. Booth was filed against the Company and the same officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 1:17-cv-09024-NRB (together with the Gronich Class Action, the “Securities Class Action”).17-cv-09024-NRB.  Thereafter, the Court considered a series of applications by various shareholders to be named lead plaintiff, consolidated the two actions and designated Royce Setzer as the lead plaintiff.

Pursuant to a Scheduling Order entered by the Court, lead plaintiff Setzer and additional plaintiff Earl Holtzman filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint on May 25, 2018 (the “Amended Complaint”“Securities Class Action”). The Securities Class Action purports to be a class action brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired the Company’s securities between May 3, 2017 and October 31, 2017. The Securities Class Action alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by making materially false and/or misleading statements, and by failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, including the financial and operating results of one of the Company’s operators, the ability of such operator to make timely rent payments, and the impairment of certain of the Company’s leases and the uncollectibility of certain receivables. The Securities Class Action, which purports to assert claims for violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, interest, fees and expenses of attorneys and experts, and other relief.  The Company and the officers named in the Amended ComplaintSecurities Class Action filed a Motion to Dismiss on July 17, 2018. Briefing2018 and the Court heard Oral Argument on February 13, 2019.  On March 25, 2019, the MotionCourt entered an order dismissing with prejudice all claims against all defendants.  On April 22, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, notifying the Court that they are appealing the Court’s order of dismissal with prejudice to Dismiss is to be completed by September 14, 2018.

Althoughthe United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On June 10, 2019, the plaintiffs filed their appeal brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, on July 15, 2019, the Company deniesfiled its opposition brief, and on July 29, 2019, the material allegationsPlaintiffs filed their reply brief in further support of the Securities Class Action and intends to vigorously pursue its defense, we are in the very early stagesappeal.  

40

The Company’s Board of Directors received a demand letter, dated April 9, 2018, from an attorney forrepresenting Phillip Swan (“Swan”), a purported current shareholder of the Company, relating to the subject matter covered by the Securities Class Action (the “Shareholder“Swan Shareholder Demand”).  The letter demanded that the Board of Directors conduct an investigation into the statements and other matters at issue in the Securities Class Action and commence legal proceedings against each party identified as being responsible for the alleged activities.  After an investigation and due consideration, and in the exercise of its business judgment, the Board determined that it is not in the best interests of the Company to commence litigation against any current or former officers or directors based on the matters raised in the Swan Shareholder Demand.  In November 2018, the Board also received shareholder demands from two additional purported shareholders, Tom Bradley (“Bradley”) and Sarah Smith (“Smith”), each represented by the same counsel as Swan, that were substantively identical to the Swan Shareholder Demand (the “Bradley/Smith Shareholder Demands”). The Board reached the same conclusion with respect to those demands as it reached with the Swan Shareholder Demand.

On August 22, 2018, Stourbridge Investments LLC, a purported stockholder of Directors is reviewing the Company, filed a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the current directors of the Company as well as certain officers alleging violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and state-law claims including breach of fiduciary duty.  Stourbridge Investments LLC v. Callen et al., No. 1:18-cv-07638.  The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants are responsible for the Company’s failure to disclose the financial condition of Orianna Health Systems, the alleged non-disclosures that are also the subject of the Securities Class Action described above.  The defendants in the action are the three individual defendants named in the Securities Class Action (Messrs. Pickett, Booth and Stephenson), as well as the Company’s non-management directors. The plaintiff did not make a demand on the Company to bring the action prior to filing it, but rather alleges that demand would have been futile.  The parties have entered into a stipulation in which they agreed to stay the case, including any response by defendants, pending the entry of judgment or a voluntary dismissal with prejudice in the Securities Class Action.  The agreed-upon stipulation and order to stay the case were entered by the Court on October 25, 2018.  In addition, on January 30, 2019, Swan filed a derivative action in the Baltimore City Circuit Court of Maryland, purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain current and former directors of the Company as well as certain officers, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. Swan v. Pickett, et al., No. 24-C-19-000573. Swan alleges that the Swan Shareholder Demand was wrongfully refused.  On February 21, 2019, Bradley and Smith filed a derivative action in the Baltimore City Circuit Court of Maryland, purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain current and former directors of the Company as well as certain officers, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and unjust enrichment.  Bradley and Smith v. Callen, et al., No. 24-c-19-000972.  Bradley and Smith allege that the Bradley/Smith Shareholder Demands were wrongly refused.  No response date for the defendants has yet come due.

Separately, four lawsuits have been filed by purported stockholders of MedEquities against MedEquities and its directors challenging the proposed merger between MedEquities and the Company.  Two of the lawsuits also name the Company as a defendant.

On February 21, 2019, a purported stockholder of MedEquities filed a lawsuit against MedEquities, members of the MedEquities board of directors, and the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland.  Brekka v. MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Case 1:19-cv-00535-JKB.  The complaint alleges, among other things, that MedEquities, members of the MedEquities’ Board, and the Company violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by making materially incomplete and misleading statements in, and/or omitting certain information that is material to stockholders from, the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as filed with the SEC on February 11, 2019 (the “Form S-4”), relating to the merger.  The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing the consummation of the merger and, in the event the merger is consummated, rescission of the merger or damages, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.  By Order dated July 9, 2019, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland directed the plaintiff to advise it by July 15, 2019 whether he intended to rely on his current complaint, amend the complaint or dismiss the action.  Plaintiff responded on July 15, 2019 by stating that he intended to rely on his current complaint.  The United States District Court for the District of Maryland that same day issued an order directing that defendants respond to that complaint by September 16, 2019.

41

On February 22, 2019, another purported stockholder of MedEquities filed a derivative and class action lawsuit against MedEquities, members of the MedEquities board of directors, and the Company in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland.  Scarantino v. McRoberts et al., Case No.  24-c-19-001027.  The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties by the MedEquities’ board of directors in connection with its approval of the merger and the omission from the Form S-4 of certain information that is material to stockholders.  The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing the consummation of the merger and, in the event the merger is consummated, rescission of the merger or damages, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.  The plaintiff has not served summonses upon the defendants in this action.

On March 17, 2019, a purported stockholder of MedEquities filed a class action lawsuit against MedEquities and members of the MedEquities board of directors in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.  Bushansky v. MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Case 3:19-cv-00231.  The complaint alleges, among other things, that MedEquities and its directors violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by making materially incomplete and misleading statements in, and/or omitting certain information that is material to stockholders from, the Combined Proxy Statement and Form S-4, relating to the merger.  The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing the consummation of the merger and, in the event the merger is consummated, rescission of the merger or damages, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.  By Stipulation and Order dated May 15, 2019, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee stayed all deadlines in the action pending, among other things, the appointment of a lead plaintiff and the designation of an operative complaint or the filing of an amended complaint.  By Order filed on July 9, 2019, the Court, in response to a joint motion by the parties, continued the Initial Case Management Conference scheduled for July 16, 2019 and confirmed that all the deadlines in the cases were stayed until after a ruling on any motion to dismiss the operative complaint or amended complaint or until Defendants have filed an answer to the complaint or amended complaint.  In addition, the plaintiff in this action on July 10, 2019 filed a motion asking that he be appointed lead plaintiff and that his counsel be appointed lead counsel.

On March 29, 2019, a purported stockholder of MedEquities filed a class action lawsuit against MedEquities and members of the MedEquities board of directors in the Circuit Court of Maryland, Baltimore City, Maryland alleging, among other things, that MedEquities and members of the MedEquities board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by: (i) failing to fulfill their fiduciary oversight function; (ii) authorizing the filing of a materially incomplete and misleading proxy statement/prospectus; and (iii) authorizing in the company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws the enactment of an exclusive venue designation whereby the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland is the sole and exclusive forum for certain litigation against the company, or if that court does not have jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division  (the “Exclusive Venue Bylaw”). Russell v. MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc., et al., Case No. C-03-CV-19-000721.  The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing the special meeting of MedEquities stockholders to vote on the transaction and, in the event the transaction is implemented, rescission of the transaction or damages, a declaration that the Exclusive Venue Bylaw is invalid, an injunction preventing the enforcement of the Exclusive Venue Bylaw, and attorneys’ fees and costs.  On May 10, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation requiring plaintiff to file, within 30 days of the closing of the merger, an amended complaint or notify defendants that plaintiff does not intend to file an amended complaint, and requiring defendants to respond to plaintiff’s pleading or amended pleading within 60 days thereafter.  As of this date, the plaintiff has neither filed an amended complaint nor notified that he does not intend to file an amended complaint.

In September 2016, MedEquities received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), which indicates that it is conducting an investigation regarding alleged violations of the False Claims Act, Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with claims that may have been submitted to Medicare and other federal payors for services rendered to patients at Lakeway Hospital or by providers with financial relationships with Lakeway Hospital. As a result of the acquisition of MedEquities, the Company owns a 51% interest in an unconsolidated partnership that owns Lakeway Hospital (the “Lakeway Partnership”). The CID requested certain documents and information related to the acquisition and ownership of Lakeway Hospital through the Lakeway Partnership. The Company has learned that the DOJ is investigating MedEquities’ conduct in connection with its investigation of financial relationships related to Lakeway Hospital, including allegations by the DOJ that these relationships violate and continue to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute and, as a result, related claims submitted to federal payors violated and continue to violate the False Claims Act.  The Company is cooperating fully with the DOJ in connection with the CID and has produced all of the information that has been requested to date.  

42

The Company believes that the acquisition, ownership and leasing of Lakeway Hospital through the Lakeway Partnership was and is in compliance with all applicable laws. However, due to the uncertainties surrounding this matter and its ultimate outcome, we are unable to determine any estimate or range of loss.

The Company believes that the appropriate course of action.claims asserted against it in these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.

In addition, we are subject to various other legal proceedings, claims and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. While any legal proceeding or claim has an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of each lawsuit, claim or legal proceeding that is pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Indemnifications

CommitmentsIn connection with certain facility transitions, we provided certain operators with indemnifications.  As of June 30, 2019, our maximum funding commitment under these indemnifications approximates $17.3 million. Claims against these indemnifications may occur within 18 months to 72 months of the transition date. These indemnifications were provided to these operators upon transition and would be utilized in the event that the prior operators do not perform under their transition agreements. The Company does not expect to fund a material amount under these indemnification agreements.

Commitments

We have committed to fund the construction of new leased and mortgaged facilities and other capital improvements. We expect the funding of these commitments to be completed over the next several years. Our remaining commitments at June 30, 2018,2019, are outlined in the table below (in thousands):

NOTE 17 – EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT

The computation of basic earnings per share/unit (“EPS” or “EPU”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders/Omega OP Unit holders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock/Omega OP Units outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted EPS/EPU is computed using the treasury stock method, which is net income divided by the total weighted-average number of common outstanding shares/Omega OP Units plus the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares/units during the respective period. Dilutive common shares/Omega OP Units reflect the assumed issuance of additional common shares pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including stock options, restricted stock and profit interest units, performance restricted stock and profit interest units and the assumed issuance of additional shares related to Omega OP Units held by outside investors. Dilutive Omega OP Units reflect the assumed issuance of additional Omega OP Units pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including, stock options, restricted stock and profit interest units and performance restricted stock.stock and profit interest units.

Overview

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) was formed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992.  Omega is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) under which allAll of Omega'sOmega’s assets are owned directly or indirectly by, and all of Omega'sOmega’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly through, its operating partnership subsidiary, OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership (“Omega OP”). Omega OP was formed as a limited partnership and organized in the State of Delaware on October 24, 2014.  Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” means Omega and Omega OP, collectively.

47

The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the United States (“U.S.”) and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on SNFsskilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), and to a lesser extent, ALFs, independent living facilities, and rehabilitation and acute care facilities.facilities (“specialty facilities”) and medical office buildings (“MOBs”). Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. AllExcept for one MOB, all of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor. Our other investment income derivesis derived from fixed and variable rate loans to our operators to fund working capital and capital expenditures.  These loans, which aremay be either unsecured or secured by the collateral of the borrower.

borrower, are classified as other investments.

Omega OP is governed by the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Partnership Agreement”). Omega has exclusive control over Omega OP’s day-to-day management pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. As of June 30, 2018,2019, Omega owned approximately 96%97% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP (“Omega OP Units”), and investors owned approximately 4%3% of the Omega OP Units.

Our portfolio of real estate investments at June 30, 2018, consisted of 936 healthcare facilities, located in 41 states and the U.K. and operated by 67 third-party operators. Our investment in these facilities, net of impairments and allowances, totaled approximately $8.6 billion at June 30, 2018, with approximately 99% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities. Our portfolio is made up of: (i) 748 SNFs, (ii) 117 ALFs, (iii) 14 specialty facilities, (iv) one medical office building, (v) fixed rate mortgages on 51 SNFs and two ALFs and (vi) three facilities that are held for sale. At June 30, 2018, we also held other investments of approximately $377.2 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities and a $32.8 million investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

In 2017, we began implementation of a strategic asset repositioning program, disposing of non-core assets and reinvesting the proceeds in assets we envision holding for the long-term. This program is expected to continue for much of 2018 and is designed to position the Company for future growth.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we do not have any material properties or operators with facilities that are not materially occupied.

Omega’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega, (ii) Omega OP, and (iii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega.Omega and (iv) other entities in which Omega or Omega OP has a majority voting interest and control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and Omega’s net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

At the effective time, each outstanding share of MedEquities common stock was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.235 of a share of Omega common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares and (ii) $2.00 in cash.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MedEquities declared a special dividend of $0.21 per share of MedEquities common stock (the “Pre-Closing Dividend”) payable to the holders of record of MedEquities common stock as of the trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger, which dividend was payable following the effective time of the Merger together with the cash consideration under the Merger Agreement.

Taxation

As of June 30, 2019, our portfolio of real estate investments consisted of 949 healthcare facilities, located in 41 states and the U.K. and operated by 75 third-party operators. Our investment in these facilities, net of impairments and allowances, totaled approximately $9.2 billion at June 30, 2019, with approximately 97% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we do not have any material properties or operators with facilities that are not materially occupied.

48

Taxation

Omega is a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes, and Omega OP is a pass through entity for United States federal income tax purposes.

Since our inception, Omega has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). A REIT is generally not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income which is distributed to its stockholders, provided that at least 90% of such taxable income is distributed each tax year and certain other requirements are met, including asset and income tests. So long as we qualify as a REIT under the Code, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the REIT taxable income that we distribute to stockholders, subject to certain exceptions.

If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and dividends paid to our stockholders will not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Further, we would not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is denied, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income; however, we believe we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. We test our compliance within the REIT taxation rules to ensure that we are in compliance with the REIT rules on a quarterly and annual basis. We review our distributions and projected distributions each year to ensure we have met and will continue to meet the annual REIT distribution requirements. In 2018,2019, we expect to pay dividends in excess of our taxable income.

41

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We have elected for twothree of our active subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. OneTwo of our TRSs isare domestic and are subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the other is subject to foreign income taxes. As of June 30, 2018,2019, one of our TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate ratesdomestic TRSs had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5.8$5.7 million. The loss carry-forward is fully reserved as of June 30, 2018,2019, with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization. Our net operating loss carryforwards will be carried forward for no more than 20 years.years, subject to certain limitations.  In connection with the MedEquities Merger on May 17, 2019, we acquired MedEquities Realty TRS, LLC.  MedEquities Realty TRS, LLC has no assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses and, accordingly, we have no tax accrual or net operating loss carryforward associated with this entity as of June 30, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded approximately $0.2$0.3 million and $0.5$0.2 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provision.provisions.  For the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded approximately $0.3$0.4 million and $1.5$0.3 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provision.provisions.  For the three months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded approximately $0.6$0.5 million and $0.1$0.6 million, respectively, of tax provisionprovisions for foreign income taxes.  For the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded approximately $1.0$1.1 million and $0.2$1.0 million, respectively, of tax provisionprovisions for foreign income taxes.  The expenses were included in income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Government Regulation and Reimbursement

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated. Our operators are subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local healthcare laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent and substantial changes resulting from the adoption of new legislation, rules and regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. The ultimate timing or effect of these changes, which may be applied retroactively, cannot be predicted. Changes in laws and regulations impacting our operators, in addition to regulatory non-compliance by our operators, can have a significant effect on the operations and financial condition of our operators, which in turn may adversely impact us. There is the potential that we may be subject directly to healthcare laws and regulations because of the broad nature of some of these regulations, such as the Anti-kickback Statute and False Claims Act, among others. The following is a discussion of certain laws and regulations generally applicable to our operators, and in certain cases, to us.

49

Healthcare Reform.  A substantial amount of rules and regulations have been issued under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively referred to as the “Healthcare Reform Law”). The newcurrent administration has brought several Congressional efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.  Under any new legislation, weWe expect additional rules, regulations and judicial interpretations in response to legal and other constitutional challenges to be issued that may materially affect our operators’ financial condition and operations.  Even if the Healthcare Reform Law is not ultimately amended or repealed, the newcurrent administration or Congress could propose changes impacting implementation of the Healthcare Reform Law. The ultimate composition and timing of any legislation enacted under the newcurrent administration that would impact the current implementation of the Healthcare Reform Law remains uncertain. Given the complexity of the Healthcare Reform Law and the substantial requirements for regulation thereunder, the impact of the Healthcare Reform Law on our operators or their ability to meet their obligations to us cannot be predicted, whether in its current form or as amended or repealed.

Reform Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities.  On October 4, 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a final rule modifying the conditions of participation in Medicare and Medicaid for SNFs. CMS stated that the regulations, last updated in 1991, were “necessary to reflect the substantial advances that had been made over the past several years in the theory and practice of service delivery and safety” within long-term care. The extensive modifications require SNFs to implement new processes; make changes to current practices; and create new policies and procedures within a short timeframe to remain in compliance with their conditions for participation. Changes include provisions related to staff training, discharge planning, infection prevention and control programs, and pharmacy services, among others. While many of the regulations became effective on November 28, 2016, some of the regulations became effective in Phase 2 on November 28, 2017, with others becoming effective in Phase 3, beginning on November 28, 2019. CMS initially delayed for eighteen months the imposition of any fines for failure to implement Phase 2 of the new “Requirements of Participation” implemented in November 2017. However, CMS also announced a freezeadvised in March 2019 that the moratorium on the inspection star ratings for any surveys occurring between November 28, 2017 and November 27, 2018.financial penalties will expire in May 2019, as previously indicated.  CMS estimatesestimated the average cost for a SNF to implement the new2016 regulations is estimated to be $62,900 the first year and $55,000 each year thereafter.

42

Reimbursement Generally. A significant portion of our operators’ revenue is derived from government-funded reimbursement programs, consisting primarily of Medicare and Medicaid. As federal and state governments continue to focus on healthcare reform initiatives, and as the federal government and many states face significant current and future budget deficits, efforts to reduce costs by government payors will likely continue, which may result in reductions in reimbursement at both the federal and state levels. Additionally, new and evolving payor and provider programs, including but not limited to Medicare Advantage, dual eligible, accountable care organizations, and bundled payments could adversely impact our tenants’ and operators’ liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.  Significant limits on the scope of services reimbursed and/or reductions of reimbursement rates could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ results of operations and financial condition, which could adversely affect our operators’ ability to meet their obligations to us.

Medicaid.  State budgetary concerns, coupled with the implementation of rules under the Healthcare Reform Law, or prospective changes to the Healthcare Reform Law under the newcurrent administration or Congress, may result in significant changes in healthcare spending at the state level. Many states are currently focusing on the reduction of expenditures under their state Medicaid programs, which may result in a reduction in reimbursement rates for our operators. The need to control Medicaid expenditures by the states may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in Medicaid due to unemployment and declines in family incomes. Since our operators’ profit margins on Medicaid patients are generally relatively low, more than modest reductions in Medicaid reimbursement or an increase in the numberpercentage of Medicaid patients could adversely affect our operators’ results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could negatively impact us.

The Healthcare Reform Law providedIn the state of Florida, the average Medicaid reimbursement rate for SNFs decreased 4.5% effective July 1, 2019, resulting from the loss of one-time discretionary funding applied to October 1, 2018 Florida Medicaid coveragereimbursement rates to be expandedcover the impact of hold-harmless provisions in the new, price-based Prospective Payment System (“PPS”) enacted by Florida at that time.  However, the net impact of this rate decrease was to all individuals under age 65 with incomes uprevert the average rate approximately to 133% of the federal povertypre-PPS, cost-based level beginning January 1, 2014. While the federal government committed to paying the entire cost for Medicaid coverage for newly eligible beneficiaries from 2014 through 2016, the federal share declines to 95% in 2017, 94% in 2018, 93% in 2019, and 90% in 2020 and subsequent years. Although the Supreme Court ruled on June 28, 2012 that states could not be required to expand Medicaid or risk losing federal funding of their existing Medicaid programs, as of July 12,September 30, 2018, thirty-four (34) states andwhich we believe operators can generally address with operational adjustments to maintain coverage levels.  A smaller discretionary increase effective October 1, 2019 will  increase the Districtaverage rate by 0.7%.  When the transition hold-harmless provisions expire on September 30, 2021, the PPS rates will no longer be dependent on discretionary funding levels. At June 30, 2019, 9% of Columbia have expanded Medicaid eligibility with additional states continuing to consider expansion.our investments were in Florida.

50

Medicare.  On July 31, 2017,2018, CMS issued a final rule regarding the fiscal year (“FY”) 20182019 Medicare payment rates and quality payment programs for SNFs, which continues the trend of shifting Medicare payments from volume to value.  Proposed aggregate payments to SNFs, which became effective October 1, 20172018 for FY 20182019, are expected to increase by $370$820 million or 1.0%, over FY 2017 payments. This reimbursement increase is attributable to a 1.0%2.4% market basket increase as required under the Medicare Access and CHIP ReauthorizationBipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (“MACRA”) after application of the productivity adjustment. Additionally, as2018. As mandated by the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (“IMPACT Act”), the annual update is reduced by 2two percentage points for SNFs that fail to submit required quality data to CMS under the SNF Quality Reporting Program (“QRP”), beginning.  

Payments to providers are being increasingly tied to quality and efficiency.  CMS finalized the previously proposed rule to replace the SNF PPS RUG-IV case-mix classification methodology with FY 2018.a new value-based Patient Driven Payment Model (“PDPM”).  The applicationPDPM is designed to improve the incentives to treat the needs of this penaltythe whole patient, rather on the volume of services the patient receives.  The PDPM will be effective October 1, 2019 (FY 2020) to thoseallow time for education and training of SNFs that do not meet the requirementsin preparation for the FY 2018 SNF QRP would produce a market basket index percentage change that is less than zero and would also result in FY 2018new payment rates that are less than such payment rates formodel. 

These prospective reimbursement changes as well as the preceding fiscal year. Similarly, a value-based purchasing programprograms applicable to SNFs under the 2014 Protecting Access to Medicare Act, (“PAMA”) legislation discounts SNF Medicare Fee-for-Service (“FFS”) payments by 2% commencingwhich became effective on October 1, 2018, (FY 2019), with reimbursement of those discounts to SNF based on comparative rehospitalization metrics. Beginning on October 1, 2018, the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018” froze the market basket update at 2.4% prior to application of any penalty adjustment for failure to meet the requirements of the SNF QRP. This freeze could reduce Medicare reimbursements to SNFs which could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ financial condition and operations, adversely impacting their ability to meet their obligations to us.

Reimbursement methodology reforms, such as value-based purchasing, continue to be prevalent and attempt to hold providers accountable for the cost and quality of care provided by redistributing a portion of a provider or facility’s reimbursement based on the relative performance on designated economic, clinical quality, and patient satisfaction metrics. On April 27, 2018, CMS issued a proposed rule to replace the SNF PPS RUG-IV case-mix classification methodology with a new value-based Patient Driven Payment Model (“PDPM”). Under the PDPM, payments would be based on a resident’s objective classification group, and payment would be calculated by multiplying the case-mix index for the resident’s classification group to create a resident’s total per diem rate. The new payment system, if adopted as proposed, is expected to go into effect on October 1, 2019.

43

In addition to FY 2018 Medicare payment rates, SNFs continue to be impacted by the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015” (“BBA”)2018,” which provided $80 billion in discretionary spending sequestration relief over two years, and extended Medicare sequestration which generallyand Medicare reimbursement cuts Medicare providerto providers and plan paymentsplans by 2% across the board, for an additional year,two years through 2025. The FY 2025 sequestration will be “front loaded,” such that a 4% reduction will apply during the first six months of the fiscal year and no reduction will be imposed during the second half of the fiscal year.

Furthermore, while the exceptions review process for therapy caps stipulated by MACRA expired December 31, 2017, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 permanently repealed the therapy caps and the exceptions review process that applied to Medicare Part B therapy coverageservices provided as of January 1, 2018.  The former cap amounts were retained as a threshold above which claims must include confirmation that services are medically necessary as justified by appropriate documentation in the medical record.  The industry estimates that these changes may potentially (i) result in the restoration of Medicare Part B SNF revenues that would have declined had the therapy caps remained in place and (ii) permit continued medically necessary services to maintain beneficiary quality of care levels. However, itthese changes reduced the reimbursement rate for Medicare Part B therapy services performed by therapy assistants to 85% of the physician fee schedule beginning January 1, 2022 which may offset some of the additional expenses. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 also restored the limited post-pay claims review process and eliminated a threat to future SNF Medicare payment rates by ending the “Independent Payment Advisory Board” which was tasked with cutting future Medicare rates.2022.  

Relatedly, CMS released a final rule on December 1, 2017 to significantly scale back mandatory participation in the bundled payment program for Lower Extremity Joint Replacement (“CJR”) procedures that went into effect on April 1, 2016, and was mandatory for all hospitals paid under the Medicare Inpatient Prospective Payment System that are located in the 67 selected metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”). Effective January 1, 2018, CJR program participation under the final rule is voluntary for the eligible hospitals in 33 of the MSAs currently covered by the program as of February 2018. The CJR program will remain mandatory in the 34 MSAs for the duration of the program, with an exception for certain low volume and rural hospitals. CMS anticipates the number of mandatory participating hospitals to decrease from approximately 700 under this rule. SNFs receiving Medicare revenues related to hospital discharges subject to CJR bundled payment programs in the identified geographic areas could be either positively or negatively affected by the CJR bundled payment program.

Quality of Care Initiatives.  In addition to quality or value based reimbursement reforms, CMS has implemented a number of initiatives focused on the quality of care provided by long term care facilities that could affect our operators. In December 2008, CMS released quality ratings for all of the nursing homes that participate in Medicare or Medicaid under its “Five Star Quality Rating System.” Facility rankings, ranging from five stars (“much above average”) to one star (“much below average”) are updated on a monthly basis. SNFs are required to provide information for the CMS Nursing Home Compare website regarding staffing and quality measures. Based on this data and the results of state health inspections, SNFs are then rated based on the five-star rating system.

In August 2016, CMS announced a modification to the Five Star Quality Rating System through the introduction of new quality measures based primarily on Medicare claims data submitted by hospitals, including: (1) percentage of short-stay residents who were successfully discharged to the community; (2) percentage of short-stay residents who have had an outpatient emergency department visit; (3) percentage of short-stay residents who were re-hospitalized after a nursing home admission; (4) percentage of short-stay residents who made improvements in function; and (5) percentage of long-stay residents whose ability to move independently worsened. These ratings were incorporated into the nursing home rating system in July 2016 and were phased in through January 2017.  In March 2019, CMS announced additional updates to the Nursing Home Care website and the Five Star Quality Rating System beginning in April 2019.  These changes include revisions to the inspection process, enhancement of new staffing information, and implementation of new quality measures.  Additional revisions include a lifting of the ‘freeze’ on the health inspection ratings instituted in February 2018. CMS has previously ‘frozen’ the health inspection star ratings category after implementing a new survey process for long-term care facilities.  

51

CMS is also setting higher thresholds and evidence-based standards for nursing homes’ staffing levels.  Currently, facilities that report seven or more days in a quarter with no registered nurse onsite are automatically assigned a one-star staffing rating. In April 2019, the threshold for the number of days without a registered nurse onsite in a quarter that triggers an automatic downgrade to one-star will be reduced from seven days to four days.  It is possible that thisthese rating changes or any other ranking system could lead to future reimbursement policies that reward or penalize facilities on the basis of the reported quality of care parameters.

Office of the Inspector General Activities.  Beginning June 15, 2017, the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) began updating its Work Plan website monthly in order to enhance transparency around the OIG’s continuous work planning efforts.  The OIG reported in its January 2018 update that it would review the quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries, including elders and disabled persons, who are being treated at inpatient and outpatient medical facilities for conditions that may be the result of abuse or neglect. The OIG referenced prior reviews which indicated problems with the quality of care and the reporting and investigation of potential abuse or neglect at group homes, nursing homes, and skilled nursing facilities.  The OIG additionally included a review of the staffing levels reported by SNFs as part of its August 2018 and February 2019 updates, as well as a continuing review of involuntary transfers and discharges from nursing homes in its June 2019 updates.  The OIG is continuing to review whether ambulance services paid by Medicare Part B were appropriately subject to Part A SNF consolidated billing requirements.

44

This review supplementsThese monthly Work Plan updates supplement the OIG’s Work Plan for government fiscal year 2017 that included seven projects related specifically to nursing homes: (1) determining to what extent Statestate agencies investigate serious nursing home complaints within the required timeframes; (2) unreported incidents of potential abuse and neglect in SNFs; (3) review of SNF Medicare reimbursement documentation (determine if it meets requirements for each particular resource utilization group); (4) the SNF Adverse Event Screening Tool, which will disseminate practical information about the SNF Adverse Event Trigger Tool; (5) review of the National Background Check Program for long-term care employees; (6) compliance with the SNF prospective payment system requirement related to a three-day qualifying inpatient hospital stay; and (7) review of potentially avoidable hospitalizations of Medicare and Medicaid-Eligible nursing facility residents and prevention and detection services provided by nursing homes.  Additionally, regional Recovery Audit Contractor program auditors along with the OIG and Department of Justice are expected to continue their efforts to evaluate SNF Medicare claims for any excessive therapy charges.  In addition to the seven projects identified on the fiscal year 2017 Work Plan, subsequent updates indicate that the OIG would review whether ambulance services paid by Medicare Part B were subject to Part A SNF consolidated billing requirements. This review is ongoing.

Department of Justice. SNFs are under intense scrutiny for the quality of care being rendered to residents and appropriate billing practices. The Department of Justice launched ten regional Elder Justice Task Forces in 2016 which are coordinating and enhancing efforts to pursue SNFs that provide grossly substandard care to their residents. They are also focusing on therapy billing issues. These Task Forces are composed of representatives from the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, State Medicaid Fraud Control Units, state and local prosecutors’ offices, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), State Adult Protective Services agencies, Long Term Care Ombudsmen programs, and law enforcement.

Medicare and Medicaid Program Audits.  Governmental agencies and their agents, such as the Medicare Administrative Contractors, fiscal intermediaries and carriers, as well as the HHS-OIG and HHS-OCR, CMS and state Medicaid programs, may conduct audits of our operators’ billing practices.  Under the Recovery Audit Contractor (“RAC”) program, CMS contracts with RACs on a contingency basis to conduct post-payment reviews to detect and correct improper payments in the fee-for-service Medicare program, to managed Medicare plans and in the Medicaid program.  CMS also employs Medicaid Integrity Contractors (“MICs”) to perform post-payment audits of Medicaid claims and identify overpayments. In addition to RACs and MICs, the state Medicaid agencies and other contractors have increased their review activities. Should any of our operators be found out of compliance with any of these laws, regulations or programs, our business, financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

Fraud and Abuse. There are various federal and state civil and criminal laws and regulations governing a wide array of healthcare provider referrals, relationships and arrangements, including laws and regulations prohibiting fraud by healthcare providers. Many of these complex laws raise issues that have not been clearly interpreted by the relevant governmental authorities and courts.

52

These laws include: (i) federal and state false claims acts, which, among other things, prohibit providers from filing false claims or making false statements to receive payment from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state healthcare programs; (ii) federal and state anti-kickback and fee-splitting statutes, including the Medicare and Medicaid Anti-kickback statute, which prohibit the payment or receipt of remuneration to induce referrals or recommendations of healthcare items or services, such as services provided in a SNF; (iii) federal and state physician self-referral laws (commonly referred to as the Stark Law), which generally prohibit referrals by physicians to entities for designated health services (some of which are provided in SNFs) with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship; (iv) the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, the knowing presentation of a false or fraudulent claim for certain healthcare services and (v) federal and state privacy laws, including the privacy and security rules contained in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which provide for the privacy and security of personal health information.

 

Violations of healthcare fraud and abuse laws carry civil, criminal and administrative sanctions, including punitive sanctions, monetary penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and potential exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state healthcare programs. Additionally, there are criminal provisions that prohibit filing false claims or making false statements to receive payment or certification under Medicare and Medicaid, as well as failing to refund overpayments or improper payments. Violation of the Anti-kickback statute or Stark Law may form the basis for a federal False Claims Act violation. These laws are enforced by a variety of federal, state and local agencies and can also be enforced by private litigants through, among other things, federal and state false claims acts, which allow private litigants to bring qui tam or whistleblower actions, which have become more frequent in recent years.

 

Several of our operators have responded to subpoenas and other requests for information regarding their operations in connection with inquiries by the U.S. Department of Justice or other regulatory agencies.  In addition, MedEquities Realty Trust, Inc., which we acquired in May 2019, has responded to a Civil Investigative Demand from the Department of Justice in connection with Lakeway Regional Medical Center. See Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Financial Statements - Part I, Item 1 hereto.

Privacy. Our operators are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the confidentiality and security of patient health information, including the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), and the corresponding regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively referred to herein as “HIPAA”). The HITECH Act expanded the scope of these provisions by mandating individual notification in instances of breaches of protected health information, providing enhanced penalties for HIPAA violations, and granting enforcement authority to states’ Attorneys General in addition to the HHS Office for Civil Rights.Rights (“OCR”).  Additionally, in a final rule issued in January 2013, HHS continued its auditing programmodified the standard for determining whether a breach has occurred by creating a presumption that any non-permitted acquisition, access, use or disclosure of protected health information is a breach unless the covered entity or business associate can demonstrate through a risk assessment that there is a low probability that the information has been compromised.  The OCR received $28.7 million from enforcement actions in 2018, surpassing the previous record of $23.5 million from 2016 to assess compliance efforts by covered entities and business associates. Through a second phase of audits, which commenced for covered entities in July 2016, HHS focused on a review of policies and procedures adopted and employed by covered entities and their business associates to meet selected standards and implementation specifications of the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. Covered entities and business associates selected for a desk audit have the potential to be selected for an on-site audit. The HHS Office for Civil Rights reported that as of September 2017, desk audits of covered entities were completed and desk audits of business associates were ongoing.

22 percent.  

Various states have similar laws and regulations that govern the maintenance and safeguarding of patient records, charts and other information generated in connection with the provision of professional medical services. These laws and regulations require our operators to expend the requisite resources to secure protected health information, including the funding of costs associated with technology upgrades. Operators found in violation of HIPAA or any other privacy law or regulation may face largesignificant monetary penalties. In addition, compliance with an operator’s notification requirements in the event of a breach of unsecured protected health information could cause reputational harm to an operator’s business.

53

Licensing and Certification. Our operators and facilities are subject to various federal, state and local licensing and certification laws and regulations, including laws and regulations under Medicare and Medicaid requiring operators of SNFs and ALFs to comply with extensive standards governing operations. Governmental agencies administering these laws and regulations regularly inspect our operators’ facilities and investigate complaints. Our operators and their managers receive notices of observed violations and deficiencies from time to time, and sanctions have been imposed from time to time on facilities operated by them. In addition, many states require certain healthcare providers to obtain a certificate of need, which requires prior approval for the construction, expansion or closure of certain healthcare facilities, which has the potential to impact some of our operators’ abilities to expand or change their businesses.

Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”).  Our properties must comply with the ADA and any similar state or local laws to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined in those statutes. The ADA may require removal of barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Should barriers to access by persons with disabilities be discovered at any of our properties, we may be directly or indirectly responsible for additional costs that may be required to make facilities ADA-compliant. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Our commitment to make readily achievable accommodations pursuant to the ADA is ongoing, and we continue to assess our properties and make modifications as appropriate in this respect.

Other Laws and Regulations.  Additional federal, state and local laws and regulations affect how our operators conduct their operations, including laws and regulations protecting consumers against deceptive practices and otherwise generally affecting our operators’ management of their property and equipment and the conduct of their operations (including laws and regulations involving fire, health and safety; quality of services, including care and food service; residents’ rights, including abuse and neglect laws; and the health standards set by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration).

General and Professional Liability.Although arbitration agreements have been effective in limiting general and professional liabilities for SNF and long term care providers, there have been numerous lawsuits challenging the validity of arbitration agreements in long term care settings. As set forth in the recent conditions of participation final rule issued on October 4, 2016, CMS prohibited pre-dispute arbitration agreements between SNFs and residents effective November 28, 2016, thereby increasing potential liabilities for SNFs and long-term care providers.  Subsequently, the authority of CMS to restrict the rights of these parties to arbitrate was challenged by litigation in various jurisdictions, and enforcement by CMS was suspended on November 7, 2016 following the issuance of a preliminary injunction by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi.  In a reversal from its previous position, CMS issued a proposed rule on June 5, 2017 that lifts CMS’would lift the ban on pre-dispute arbitration agreements in the long-term care setting.  The proposedfinal rule continuesissued by CMS on July 16, 2019 lifted the ban on pre-dispute arbitration agreements offered to face challenges by certain industry groups.residents at the time of admission, but prohibits providers from requiring residents to sign them as a condition for receiving care. The final rule also mandates that providers specifically inform residents or their representatives that they are not required to agree to a binding arbitration agreement. Further, the agreement must specifically grant residents the explicit right to rescind the agreement within thirty (30) calendar days of signing it.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States, and a summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.  Our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes.  Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.  Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.  We have described our most critical accounting policies in our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Operations.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2017.2018, except for the changes that resulted from the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019, as discussed in detail in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, section “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019” of these unaudited consolidated financial statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this report and the accompanying discussion of the new lease accounting guidance below.  See also Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.  

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2018

2019

In 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09,Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersLeases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment.. In addition, the FASB issued targeted updates to clarify specific implementation issues of ASU 2014-09. These updates included ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.As a result of adopting ASU 2014-09 and its updates on January 1, 2018, the Company recognized $10.0 million of deferred gain resulting from the sale of facilities to a third-party in December 2017 through opening equity on January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and its subsequent updates in accordance with the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 and its related updates did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as a substantial portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements and interest income from loan arrangements, both of which are specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09 and its updates.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,2018-01, Derivatives and Hedging: TargetedLeases (Topic 842):Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, ASU 2018-10, Leases (Topic 842):Codification Improvements to AccountingTopic 842, Leases, ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Hedging ActivitiesLessors(“ASU 2017-12”). The purposeThese standards are collectively referred to herein as Topic 842 and set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of this updatedleases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). Topic 842 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Topic 842 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to the previous guidance is to better alignfor sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Topic 842 was adopted by us on January 1, 2019 using the financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective method. Upon adoption, we applied the package of practical expedients that allowed us to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. Furthermore, we applied the optional transition method, in any interim period after issuance ofwhich allowed us to initially apply Topic 842 at the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method will require the Company todate and recognize thea cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2017-12 as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of equity in the period of adoption, although we did not record an adjustment as of January 1, 2019.  During the beginningthree months ended June 30, 2019, we made an immaterial adjustment to the equity balance as of April 1, 2019 of approximately $8.5 million to reflect our assessment of the fiscal yearcollectability of certain operator’s future contractual lease payments based on the facts and circumstances that an entity adopts the update. Onexisted as of January 1, 2018,2019. Additionally, our leases met the Company adopted ASU 2017-12 usingcriteria in Topic 842 to not separate non-lease components from the modified retrospective transition method. related lease component.  We have elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from the measurement of lease revenue and expense and we have excluded those costs paid directly by lessees to third parties.  

Upon adoption, we recorded total initial non-cash right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $11.1 million.  We also began recording variable lease payments as rental income and real estate tax expense for those facilities’ property taxes that we pay directly and are reimbursed by our operators.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $2.8 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of rental income and $4.0 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of real estate tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  We also began recording rental income and ground lease expense for those assets we lease and are reimbursed by our operators and/or are paid for directly by our operators.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of rental income and $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of ground lease expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.  

55

As a resultlessor, rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectibility of adoptingsubstantially all of the standard,lease payments is probable. If we determine that it is not probable that substantially all of the Company is making certain adjustments to its existing hedge designation documentationlease payments will be collected, we account for active hedging relationships in order to take advantage of specific provisionsthe revenue under the lease on a cash basis. Changes in the new guidance andassessment of probability are accounted for on a cumulative basis as if the lease had always been accounted for based on the current determination of the likelihood of collection potentially resulting in increased volatility of rental revenue.

In addition, provisions for operating lease losses are recognized as a direct reduction to fully align its documentation with ASU 2017-12. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impactrental income.  Provisions for operating lease losses prior to January 1, 2019 were recorded in provision for uncollectible accounts on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, section “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019” of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this report for additional disclosures.    

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases(“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. As a result of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company may be required to record real estate tax revenues and an equal and offsetting real estate tax expense, as a result of our operators paying real estate taxes on our behalf. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11,Leases(“ASU 2018-11”): Targeted Improvementsto simplify the implementation of ASU 2016-02. This targeted improvement permits the adoption of ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements and a practical expedient permitting lessors to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 and its updates, we intend to transition to the new leasing accounting standard on January 1, 2019, without modifying our prior year balance sheet and recognizing the cumulative-effect adjustment to opening equity. We continue to evaluate the other impacts of adopting ASU 2016-02 and its updates on our consolidated financial statements.

47

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted2019.  ASU 2016-13 specifically excludes from its scope receivables arising from operating leases accounted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018.under Topic 842.  We are currently evaluatingexpect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach.  We continue to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

The following is our discussion of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity and capital resources, which should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 20182019 and 20172018

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 20182019 totaled $219.9$225.3 million, a decreasean increase of $15.9$5.4 million over the same period in 2017.2018.  The $15.9$5.4 million decreaseincrease was primarily the result of (i) a $15.0$12.2 million increase in rental income resulting from the MedEquities Merger, additional revenue from facility acquisitions, facility transitions and lease amendments in 2018 and 2019, and $2.8 million of property tax revenue resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, offset by an approximate $13.0 million decrease due to facility sales and placing operators on a cash basis and (ii) a $2.0 million increase in mortgage income and a $2.0 million increase in other investment income primarily related to the MedEquities Merger and new loans or notes and additional funding to existing operators made throughout 2018 and 2019.  These increases were partially offset by (i) a $0.4 million decrease in miscellaneous income and (ii) a $0.2 million decrease in the direct financing lease income related to New Ark Investment Inc. (“New Ark” which does business as “Orianna Health Systems” and is herein referred to as “Orianna”), (ii) $1.1 million decrease in rental income resulting froma facility sales and placing three leases on cash basis, offset by additional revenue from facility acquisitions, facility transitions and lease amendments and (iii) a $2.2 million decrease in miscellaneous income primarily related to the reversal of operator earn-outssale in the second quarter of 2017 and fewer late fees in 2018. These decreases were offset by a $1.8 million increase in other investment income primarily related to new notes and additional funding to existing operators made throughout 2017 and 2018.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, totaled $84.3$98.5 million, a decreasean increase of approximately $10.4$14.2 million over the same period in 2017.2018.  The $10.4$14.2 million decreaseincrease was primarily due to: (i) $4.1$5.7 million of impairmentsnet impairment charges on ninetwo facilities in the second quarter of 2018, offset by $5.2 million of insurance proceeds received related to a facility destroyed in November 2017,2019, as compared to $10.1a $(1.1) million recovery on impairment of impairments on six facilitiesreal estate properties in the same period of 2017,2018, (ii) a $2.1$4.0 million increase in depreciation expense primarily resulting from the MedEquities Merger and facility acquisitions, (iii) a $4.0 million increase related to real estate tax expense resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and (iv) a $1.2 million increase in acquisition costs primarily related to the MedEquities Merger.  These increases were partially offset by (i) a $1.4 million decrease in general and administrative expenses and (ii) a $0.6 million decrease in provisions for uncollectible accounts and (iii) a $0.7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, primarily resulting from facilities reclassified to held for sale and facility sales. The decreases were partially offset by a $3.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses.accounts.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, total other expenses were $49.3$51.0 million, a decreasean increase of approximately $23.0$1.7 million over the same period in 2017.2018.  The decreaseincrease was due to $1.3 million change in interest income and other – net primarily related to a $22.0 million decrease in interest - refinance costs related to the redemption of the $400 million 5.875% senior notes and the restructuring of the credit facilitychange in the second quarterfair value of 2017.warrants to acquire shares of another public company.

Six Months Ended June 30, 20182019 and 20172018

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 totaled $440.1$449.0 million, a decreasean increase of $27.5$8.9 million over the same period in 2017.2018.  The $27.5$8.9 million decreaseincrease was primarily the result of (i) a $30.0$5.4 million increase in other investment income and a $3.6 million increase in mortgage income.  These increases primarily related to MedEquities Merger, new loans or notes and additional funding to existing operators made throughout 2018 and 2019.  These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in the direct financing lease income related to Orianna and (ii) a $2.3 million decrease in miscellaneous income primarily related to the reversal of operator earn-outs facility sale in the second quarter of 2017 and fewer late fees in 2018.

National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts Funds From Operations

Our funds from operations (“NAREITNareit FFO”) for the three months ended June 30, 20182019 was $155.5$157.2 million compared to $150.9$154.5 million for the same period in 2017.2018.  Our NAREITNareit FFO for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 was $303.5$301.3 million compared to $331.9$301.9 million for the same period in 2017.2018.

57

We calculate and report NAREITNareit FFO in accordance with the definition of Funds from Operations and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”Nareit”), and, consequently, NAREITNareit FFO is defined as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization and impairment on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.ventures and changes in the fair value of warrants.  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.  We believe that NAREITNareit FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. NAREITNareit FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue.  NAREITNareit FFO herein is not necessarily comparable to NAREITNareit FFO of other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.

49

NAREITNareit FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We use NAREITNareit FFO as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of our business. We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairment on real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, NAREITNareit FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. We offer this measure to assist the users of our financial statements in evaluating our financial performance under GAAP, and NAREITNareit FFO should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

On May 17, 2019, Omega and Omega OP completed the MedEquities Realty Trust Inc. (“MedEquities”) Merger.  In accordance with the Merger Agreement, each share of MedEquities common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.235 of a share of Omega common stock plus the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Omega common stock, and (ii) an amount in cash equal to $2.00 (the “Cash Consideration”).  In connection with the MedEquities Merger, we issued approximately 7.5 million shares of Omega common stock and paid approximately $63.7 million of cash consideration to former MedEquities stockholders.  We borrowed approximately $350 million under our existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility to fund the cash consideration and the repayment of MedEquities’ previously outstanding debt.  As a result of the MedEquities Merger, we acquired 33 facilities subject to operating leases, four mortgages, three other investments and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.  We also acquired other assets and assumed debt and other liabilities.  Based on the closing price of our common stock on May 16, 2019, the fair value of the consideration exchanged approximated $346 million.

The MedEquities facilities acquired in 2019 are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition.  For the period from May 17, 2019 through June 30, 2019, we recognized approximately $7.1 million of total revenue from the assets acquired in connection with the MedEquities Merger.  

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, we incurred approximately $1.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of acquisition related costs associated with the MedEquities Merger.  

Investment in Consolidated Joint Venture

In February 2019, we entered into a joint venture to construct a 100,000 square foot medical office building in Lakeway, Texas with an estimated initial construction budget of approximately $36 million.  The Company owns 90% of the venture with the remaining 10% owned by outside investors.  During the first quarter of 2019, this consolidated joint venture acquired a parcel of land for approximately $3.6 million.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

On May 17, 2019, in connection with the MedEquities Merger, we acquired two parcels of land (not reflecteda 51% ownership interest in Lakeway Realty, L.L.C. (the “Lakeway Partnership”), a joint venture that owns the table above) for approximately $3.5 million with the intent of building new facilities for our existing operators.

In June 2018, we amended our original $415.0 million mortgage with Ciena Healthcare (“Ciena”Lakeway Regional Medical Center (the “Lakeway Hospital”) with the addition of.  The other 49% interest is owned indirectly by a $44.7 million mortgage note related to five SNFsphysicians group and a non-physician investor.  The Lakeway Hospital is an acute care hospital located in Michigan.Lakeway, Texas.

As part of the refinancing,Lakeway Hospital campus.  On the merger date, the Company’s ownership interest in the Lakeway Partnership had a preliminary fair value of approximately $73.9 million (subject to the completion of our purchase accounting).  Our investment in the Lakeway Partnership consists primarily of real estate.  We estimated the fair value of the underlying real estate considering the lessees’ purchase option (Level 1) which is discussed in more detail below, third-party appraisals and discounted cash flows associated with the ground lease (Level 3).  Our preliminary initial basis difference of approximately $69.9 million is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years to income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.  We account for our investment in this joint venture using the equity method.  The accounting policies for this unconsolidated joint venture are the same as those of the Company.  

The Company also acquired a first mortgage lien issued to Lakeway Partnership in the original principal amount of approximately $73.0 million bearing interest at 8% per annum based on a 25-year amortization schedule and maturing on March 20, 2025.  We have preliminarily determined the acquisition date fair value of the acquired mortgage is $69.1 million.

The Lakeway Hospital  is leased pursuant to a triple-net lease to Scott & White Hospital – Round Rock (the “Baylor Lessee”), with Baylor University Medical Center (“BUMC”) as guarantor. These entities are part of the Baylor Scott & White Health system.  The lease provides that, commencing after completion of the third year of the lease (effective September 1, 2019) and subject to certain conditions, the Baylor Lessee has the option to purchase the Lakeway Hospital at a price equal to the aggregate base rent payable under the lease for the 12-month period following the date of the written notice from the Baylor Lessee to exercise the purchase option divided by (i) 6.5% if written notice is provided after completion of the third lease year and before completion of the tenth lease year or (ii) 7.0% if written notice is provided any time thereafter.

In March 2018, Orianna commenced voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”).As described in Orianna’s filingsof December 31, 2018, we had 15 SNFs subject to a direct financing lease with theOrianna with a carrying value of approximately $120.5 million, net of an allowance of $103.2 million. 

On January 11, 2019, pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court we entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) that was expected to form the basis for Orianna’s restructuring. The RSA provided for the recommencementorder, affiliates of partial rent payments at $1.0 million per month and established a specific timeline for the implementation of Orianna’s planned restructuring. The RSA provided for the transition of 23 facilities to new operators and the potential sale ofOrianna purchased the remaining 19 facilities.

On July 25, 2018, Omega terminated the restructuring support agreement with its tenant 4 West Holdings and the sponsor of Orianna’s restructuring plan. The Company is evaluating and/or pursuing alternative courses of action to protect its assets and shareholder value, and working with operators to protect the interests of residents of the facilities. While the form of resolution with 4 West Holdings and the sponsor of Orianna’s restructuring plan is evolving, we remain confident that the final resolution will ultimately result in our previously stated range of $32 million to $3815 SNFs for $176 million of annual rent or rent equivalents from the assets that previously constituted ourconsideration, comprised of $146 million in cash received by Orianna portfolio. On July 1, 2018, we transitioned the legacy Orianna portfolio in Mississippi (13 facilities) to an existing Omega operator with annual contractual rent of $12and a $30.0 million and on August 1, 2018, a legacy Orianna facility in Indiana was transitioned to an existing operator with annual contractual rent of $0.5 million.

To provide liquidity to Orianna during their Chapter 11 proceedings, we entered into a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) credit agreement with Orianna for a revolving credit and term loan DIP facility of up to $30 million, which DIP facility was approvedseller note held by the Bankruptcy Court on an interim basis on March 9, 2018 and on a final basis on May 14, 2018.Company.  The DIP financing consists of a $14.2$30.0 million term loan and a $15.8 million revolving credit facility which are secured by a security interest in and liens on substantially all of Orianna’s existing and future real and personal property. The $14.2 million term loannote bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 5.5%6% per annum and matures on September 30, 2018. Orianna has borrowedJanuary 11, 2026.  Interest on the full amountunpaid principal balance is due quarterly in arrears. Commencing on January 11, 2022, quarterly principal payments are due based on a 15-year amortization schedule on the then outstanding principal balance of the term loanloan.  On the same date, Orianna repaid the debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing, including all related interest.  

On January 16, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed Orianna’s plan, creating a Distribution Trust (the “Trust”) to repay their previous secured working capital lender.distribute the proceeds from Orianna’s sale of the remaining 15 SNFs, as well as the Trust’s collections of Orianna’s accounts receivable portfolio.  In January 2019, we reclassified our net investment in direct financing lease of $115.8 million from the Trust to other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.  For the period from January 16, 2019 through June 30, 2019, we received approximately $88 million from the Trust as a partial liquidation including approximately $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.    

In March 2019, we received updated information from the Trust indicating diminished collectability of the accounts receivable owed to us.  As a result, we recorded an additional $7.7 million allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2019, reducing our remaining receivable from the Trust to approximately $21.1 million as of March 31, 2019.  As of June 30, 2018, approximately $14.2 million2019, our remaining receivable from the Trust is outstanding on this term loan. The $15.8 million revolving credit facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 9.0% per annum and matures on September 30, 2018. The borrowings under the revolving credit facility are to be used for general business expenses and other uses permitted under the loan documents.$19.1 million.  As of June 30, 2018, approximately $10.52019, the Trust was comprised of $20.7 million is outstanding on this revolving credit facility.

In May 2017, we provided Oriannaof cash and accounts receivable, net of an $18.8 million maximum borrowing secured revolving working capital loanestimated allowance, of $4.2 million.  We expect that bears interest at 9% per annum (with one-half (1/2)the aggregate of all accrued interest tosuch amounts will be paid-in-kind and added to the loan balance) and matures on April 30, 2022. This revolving working capital loan has a default rate of 5% per annum. As of June 30, 2018, approximately $15.2 million is outstanding on this revolving working capital loan. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court’s order approving the DIP financing, Orianna is obligatedused to pay one-half (1/2)estimated costs of all accrued post-bankruptcy interest$5.9 million to other creditors and to wind down the Trust, with the remainder paid to us.  The amount payable on this revolving working capital loan atto us is contingent upon the default rate. As of June 30, 2018, our total other investments outstanding with Orianna approximate $40.0 million.

In 2017, we recorded an allowance for loss on direct financing leases of $172.2 million with Orianna covering 38 facilities in the Southeast regioncollection of the U.S. The amount ofaccounts receivable balances and the allowance was determined based onestimated costs to wind down the fair value of the facilitiesTrust. These amounts are estimated and remain subject to the direct financing lease. To estimate the fair value of the underlying collateral, we utilized an income approach and Level 3 inputs. Our estimate of fair value assumed annual rents ranging between $32.0 million and $38.0 million, rental yields between 9% and 10%, current and projected operating performance of the facilities, coverage ratios and bed values. Such assumptions are subject to change based on changes in market conditions and the ultimate resolution of this matter.change. Such changes could be significantly different than the currently estimated fair valueamounts and such differences could have a material impact on our financial statements.

The 38 facilities remaining under our direct financing leases with Orianna as of June 30, 2018 are located in seven states, predominantly in the southeastern U.S. (37 facilities) and Indiana (1 facility). Our recorded investment in these direct financing leases, net of the $172.2 million allowance, amounted to $337.7 million as of June 30, 2018. We have not recognized any direct financing lease income from Orianna for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. In addition to our direct financing leases with Orianna, we own four facilities and lease them to Orianna under a master lease which expires in 2026. The four facility lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. We have not recognized any income on this operating lease for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, as Orianna did not pay the contractual amounts due and collectability is uncertain.

On July 23, 2018, Omega notified Orianna that it was in default under the DIP facility and, as a result of such default, Omega (a) declared the amounts owing under the DIP facility to be immediately due and payable, (b) terminated the DIP facility and any further commitment of Omega to extend credit to Orianna under the DIP facility, and (c) restricted Orianna’s use of cash collateral solely to payment of those amounts contained in a budget approved by Omega. Omega also informed Orianna that while Omega did not (as of such date) intend to immediately collect amounts owing under the DIP facility, Omega may at any time in the future exercise further rights and remedies under the DIP facility.

On May 7, 2018, Omega and Signature Healthcare entered into a consensual, out-of-court restructuring agreement. The restructuring involves multiple third-party constituents, including other third-party landlords, a new working capital lender, medical malpractice claimants, and other third-party interests. As part of the restructuring, Signature Healthcare was reorganized to separate each of its primary portfolios with its major landlords into three distinct lease silos and separate virtually all other legal obligations. As part of this restructuring, Signature Healthcare formed Agemo Holdings LLC (“Agemo”) to be the holding company of the lessees and loans of the Omega portfolio, and for which Omega agreed to:

·defer up to $6.3 million of rent per annum for 3 years commencing May 1, 2018;
·provide capital expenditure funds to be used for the general maintenance and capital improvements of our 59 facilities in the amount of approximately $4.5 million per year for 3 years;
·extend a 7-year working capital term loan at 7% for an amount up to $25 million with a maturity date of April 30, 2025 ($10.0 million is outstanding as of June 30, 2018);
·extend the term of the master lease by two years to December 31, 2030 and;
·extend the maturity date of the existing term loan by two years to December 31, 2024.

As part of the restructuring, Signature Healthcare entered into new working capital credit facilities with its new working capital lender for each of its separate silos, including Agemo. In addition, as part of our restructure, certain third-party guarantors of the Agemo master lease were required to contribute approximately $7.8 million in funds to the enterprise to be used to reduce the outstanding contractual receivables owed to Omega from Agemo. On May 8, 2018, the Company received $5.0 million in cash from the guarantors and a one-year term note from the principals of Agemo for approximately $2.8 million.

During the third quarter of 2017, we placed Daybreak on a cash basis for revenue recognition as a result of nonpayment.nonpayment of funds owed to us. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we executed a Settlement and Forbearance Agreement with Daybreak which permitted Daybreak to defer payments up to 23% of their contractual rent for the remainder of 2017, subject to certain conditions.  During the fourth quarter of 2018, Daybreak fell behind on rent returned toby approximately two months and, accordingly, was no longer in compliance with the 2017 Settlement and Forbearance Agreement as a result of not paying the full contractual amountamounts due.  

On January 30, 2019, we entered into a Second Amendment to Settlement and Forbearance Agreement under which we agreed to defer approximately $4.2 million of rent in the fourth quarter of 2018 and approximately $2.5 million (or approximately one month’s rent) in each of the first two quarters of 2019.  With the exception of $1.1 million in required real estate tax escrows, Daybreak met their contractual payment obligations through the second quarter of 2019.  However, continued pressures on overall occupancy, Medicare census, labor costs and a low Medicaid rate in the state of Texas have resulted in tighter liquidity for Daybreak.  

Confronted with these challenges, we recently engaged a third party consultant to provide a comprehensive review of Daybreak’s overall operations, provide commentary and recommendations for improvement opportunities, and provide a long range forecast of Daybreak’s future cash flow expectations.  While the results of our consultants’ findings are not yet final, we have reduced our expectations for future quarterly cash rent receipts from Daybreak for the foreseeable future.

It is important to point out that this remains a work-in-progress and does not reflect our long-term view as to the intrinsic value of the Daybreak portfolio and its ability to generate cash flow and rent to the Company.

62

While many of our Texas operators are challenged by Texas’ low Medicaid rate and the continued labor pressures, Daybreak is further challenged by their widespread geographical footprint across the state, its lack of a presence in other states with more favorable reimbursement and their concentration in rural localities which results in a limited Medicare/Medicaid quality-mix and lower occupancy. While the third quarter of 2019 is expected to be particularly challenging for Daybreak, we expect that past due rentDaybreak will benefit from several known factors in the fourth quarter, including, (i) the addition of 26 Omega facilities into the Texas quality incentive payment program (“QIPP”), (ii) the implementation of PDPM and (iii) the 2.4% Medicare rate increase.  The QIPP benefit will begin to be repaid inon September 1, 2019 and PDPM and the latter part of 2018.Medicare rate increase will begin on October 1, 2019.    

The Company continues to closely monitor the performance of all of its operators, as well as industry trends and developments generally.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2018,2019, we had total assets of $8.6$9.1 billion, total equity of $3.9$4.1 billion and debt of $4.4$4.8 billion, representing approximately 53.6%54.1% of total capitalization.

Financing Activities and Borrowing Arrangements

HUD Mortgage Disposition

On June 1, 2018, subsidiaries of an existing operator assumed approximately $53 million of our indebtedness guaranteed by HUD that secured 12 separate facilities located in Arkansas. In connection with our dispositionthe MedEquities Merger on May 17, 2019, we assumed a $125.0 million term loan and outstanding borrowings of $160.1 million under MedEquities’ previous revolving credit facility.  We repaid the mortgages we wrote-off approximately $0.6 million of unamortized deferred costs that are recorded in (Loss) gaintotal outstanding balance on assets sold – netboth the term loan and the revolving credit facility and terminated the related agreements on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. These fixed rate mortgages had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.06% per annum and matured in July 2044.May 17, 2019.  

Certain of our other secured and unsecured borrowings are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants.  As of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we were in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants, for our secured and unsecured borrowings. Omega OP, the guarantor of Parent’s outstanding senior notes, does not directly own any substantive assets other than its interest in non-guarantor subsidiaries.

$500 Million Equity Shelf Program

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we issued 0.7 million and 0.9 million, respectively, shares of our common stock at an average price of $35.90 and $30.19 per share, respectively, net of issuance costs, generating net proceeds of $26.3 million and $27.5 million, respectively, under our $500 million Equity Shelf Program.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we issued 3.0 million and 0.9 million, respectively, shares of our common stock at an average price of $34.82 and $30.16 per share, respectively, net of issuance costs, generating net proceeds of $102.9 million and $27.5 million, respectively, under our $500 million Equity Shelf Program.

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we issued approximately 0.6 million and 0.8 million, respectively, shares of our common stock at an average price of $37.02 and $29.22 per share, were issuedrespectively, per share through our Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan for gross proceeds of approximately $21.8 million and $22.2 million.million, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we issued approximately 1.5 million and 0.9 million, respectively, shares of our common stock at an average price of $36.52 and $28.55 per share, were issuedrespectively, per share through our Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan for gross proceeds of approximately $54.1 million and $27.1 million.million, respectively.

Dividends

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to (A) the sum of (i) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of certain items of non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of any built-in gain asset during a recognition period, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the disposition of such asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before we timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions are required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than 100% of our “REIT taxable income” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates.

54

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, we paid dividends of approximately $131.6 million and $263.0$273.8 million, to our common stockholders.  On the 15th of February and May 2019, we paid dividends of $0.66 per outstanding common share to common stockholders of record as of last business day of January and April 2019, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Omega OP paid distributions of approximately $12.1 million to holders of Omega OP Units other than Omega.  The Omega OP Unit holders received the same distributions per unit as those paid to the common stockholders of Omega.

Liquidity

We believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital, including cash from operations, our existing availability under our Omega Credit Facilitiescredit facilities, facility sales and expected proceeds from mortgage and other investment payoffs are adequate to finance operations, meet recurring debt service requirements and fund future investments through the next twelve months.

We regularly review our liquidity needs, the adequacy of cash flow from operations, and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:

·normal recurring expenses;
·debt service payments;
·capital improvement programs;
·common stock dividends; and
·growth through acquisitions of additional properties.

The primary source of liquidity is our cash flows from operations. Operating cash flows have historically been determined by: (i) the number of facilities we lease or have mortgages on; (ii) rental and mortgage rates; (iii) our debt service obligations; (iv) general and administrative expenses and (v) our operators’ ability to pay amounts owed. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by or used in financing activities and 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 and affect our plans for acquisition and disposition activity.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $13.5$34.1 million as of June 30, 2018, a decrease2019, an increase of $83.3$22.5 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2017.2018. The following is a discussion of changes in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

64

Operating Activities – Operating activities generated $217.2$265.4 million of net cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, as compared to $264.2$217.2 million for the same period in 2017, a decrease2018, an increase of $47.0$48.2 million which is primarily due to lower rental income resulting from facility sales, the lossa $50.0 million payment to one of direct financing lease income from Oriana and cash payments for lease inducementsour operators to acquire a portion of their in-the-money purchase option of which we paid one operator approximately $28.4 million was recorded as a lease inducement during the first quarter of 2018.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018,2019, there were no material changes in our primary market risk exposures or how those exposures are managed from the information disclosed under Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures of Omega and Omega OP (for purposes of this Item 4, the “Companies”) as of June 30, 2018.2019. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures of the Companies were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2018.2019.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report identified in connection with the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

Item 1Legal Proceedings

See Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Consolidated Financial Statements - Part I, Item 1 hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

There have been no material changesIn addition to ourthe risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A contained in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.2018, investors should carefully consider the following additional or revised risk factors.  This risk should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in our 2018 Form 10-K and the other information contained in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  

Our investments in a consolidated joint venture and unconsolidated joint ventures could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on our joint venture partners’ financial condition, any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners, and our exposure to potential losses from the actions of our joint venture partners.

As of June 30, 2019, we own a parcel of land through a consolidated joint venture with the intention of building a MOB. As of June 30, 2019, we also have an approximate 15% ownership interests in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns 51 SNFs and a 51% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns an acute care hospital. These joint ventures involve risks not present with respect to our wholly owned properties, including the following:

We may be unable to take actions that are opposed by our joint venture partners under arrangements that require us to share decision-making authority over major decisions affecting the ownership or operation of the joint venture and any property owned by the joint venture, such as the sale or financing of the property or the making of additional capital contributions for the benefit of the property;
For joint ventures in which we have a noncontrolling interest, our joint venture partners may take actions that we oppose;
Our ability to sell or transfer our interest in a joint venture to a third party may be restricted if we fail to obtain the prior consent of our joint venture partners;
Our joint venture partners may become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, which could delay construction or development of a property or increase our financial commitment to the joint venture;
Our joint venture partners may have business interests or goals with respect to a property that conflict with our business interests and goals, including with respect to the timing, terms and strategies for investment, which could increase the likelihood of disputes regarding the ownership, management or disposition of the property;
Disagreements with our joint venture partners could result in litigation or arbitration that increases our expenses, distracts our officers and directors, and disrupts the day-to-day operations of the property, including by delaying important decisions until the dispute is resolved; and
We may suffer losses as a result of actions taken by our joint venture partners with respect to our joint venture investments.

The vote by the U.K. to leave the European Union could adversely affect us.

The United Kingdom’s (“U.K.”) referendum on withdrawal from the European Union (“E.U.”) on June 23, 2016 (referred to as “Brexit”), and subsequent notification of the U.K.’s intention to withdraw from the E.U. given on

66

March 29, 2017, have adversely impacted global markets and foreign currencies. In particular, the value of the Pound Sterling has sharply declined as compared to the U.S. Dollar and other currencies. This volatility in foreign currencies is expected to continue as the U.K. negotiates and executes its exit from the E.U., but there is uncertainty over what time period this will occur. A significantly weaker Pound Sterling compared to the U.S. Dollar could have a significant negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The decrease in value to the Pound Sterling and the impacts across global markets and foreign currencies may influence trends in consumer confidence and discretionary spending habits, but given the lack of precedent and uncertainty, it is unclear how Brexit will impact us.

The intention to withdraw began a two-year negotiating period to establish the withdrawal terms. Even if no agreement is reached, the U.K.’s separation still becomes effective if either the U.K. passes legislation to withdraw its previous notification of its intent to withdraw or unless all E.U. members unanimously agree on an extension. Negotiations have commenced to determine the future terms of the U.K. relationship with the E.U., including, among other things, a transition period for implementation of the withdrawal and the terms of trade between the U.K. and the E.U. The U.K. will remain a member of the European Union until the date on which a withdrawal agreement comes into force or, failing that, October 31, 2019, unless another extension is agreed to by the parties.

The effects of Brexit will depend on many factors, including the nature of any agreements that the U.K. makes to retain access to E.U. single markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which E.U. laws to replace or replicate. In a “hard Brexit” scenario, there could be increased costs from re-imposition of tariffs on trade between the U.K. and E.U., shipping delays because of the need for customs inspections and procedures (which may be severe in the near term given the lack of infrastructure or preparedness for such inspections and procedures), and temporary shortages of certain goods. In addition, trade and investment between the U.K., the E.U., the United States and other countries will be impacted by the fact that the U.K. currently operates under the E.U.’s tax treaties. The U.K. will need to negotiate its own tax and trade treaties with countries all over the world, which could take years to complete. In addition, the uncertainty related to Brexit has caused foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the past, including the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound Sterling immediately following the announcement of Brexit. The implementation of, or further developments with respect to, Brexit could further impact foreign exchange rates, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

While we cannot anticipate the outcome of these future negotiations, effects could include uncertainty regarding tax exemptions and reliefs within the E.U., as well as expected changes in tariffs and tax laws or regulations which could materially and adversely affect our business, future business opportunities, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the quarterly periodquarter ended June 30, 2018,2019, Omega issued an aggregate of 1,350251,679 shares of Omega common stock in exchange for an equivalent number of Omega OP Units tendered to Omega OP for redemption in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. The Company issued these shares of Omega common stock in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based upon factual representations received from the limited partners who received the Omega common stock.

Item 5– Other Information

On August 2, 2019, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Omega adopted a retirement policy for executive officers.  Under the policy, subject to certain limitations, an officer who retires on or after reaching age 62 and performing 10 years of service will be eligible for prorated vesting of earned performance-based long-term equity incentives, 100% vesting of time-based long-term equity incentives and payment of the earned annual cash incentive.  The officer must give at least 6 months advance notice of retirement to qualify.  The policy applies to incentives with a grant date on or after January 1, 2020.  The Compensation Committee reserved the right to amend or terminate the policy, but such action may not adversely affect an officer’s rights under then outstanding incentives.

For the performance-based long-term equity incentives, the actual achievement of the performance goals will be determined at the end of the performance period in the same manner as for officers who remain employed by Omega.  If the officer retires before the end of the performance period, the officer will vest in a prorated portion of the earned incentive based on the number of days employed by Omega during the performance period.  If the officer retires after the end of the performance period, the officer will be 100% vested in the earned incentive.  For the time-based long-term equity incentives, as a condition of vesting, the officer’s date of retirement cannot be before December 31 of the year in which the grant is made.  For the annual cash incentive, achievement of the performance goals will be determined at the end of the performance period in the same manner as for officers who remain employed by Omega, and as a condition of payment of the earned incentive, the date of retirement must occur on or after the last day of the performance period.

As a condition of vesting and payment, the retired officer must comply until the date payment is made with the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in the retired officer’s employment agreement, the applicable award agreement, the annual cash incentive program or as may be otherwise applicable and the obligations in the retired officer’s intellectual property and invention assignment agreement. All incentives payable to a retired officer will be paid on the same schedule as applies to officers who continue in Omega’s employment.
