NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
These interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, and in accordance with SOP 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"). Accordingly, all pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise are segregated in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and classified as liabilities subject to compromise and are reported on the basis of the expected amount of the allowed claims in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." Liabilities not subject to compromise (such as secured liabilities and post petition liabilities) are separately classified as current and non-current. Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, interest income and provisions for losses resulting from t he reorganization are reported separately as Reorganization items, net, except for those required to be reported as discontinued operations in conformity with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No 144"). Cash used for reorganization items is disclosed separately in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, interest expense accrued subsequent to the bankruptcy filing that is deemed to be impaired and unlikely to be paid is excluded from the financial statements.
These interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Alterra Healthcare Corporation ("Alterra" or the "Company") and our majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. As the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as amended.
- Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and Restructuring Activities
In February 2001 our overall cash position had declined to a level which we believed to be insufficient to operate the Company. Accordingly, in February 2001 we retained financial advisors and special reorganization counsel to assist us in evaluating alternatives to restore financial viability. To conserve cash and protect the financial integrity of our operations, beginning in March 2001 we elected not to make selected scheduled debt service and lease payments, of which $2.8 million remains unpaid as of June 30, 2003. As a result, we are in default under several of our principal credit facilities.
In March of 2001 we began to implement a restructuring plan ("Restructuring Plan"), the principal objectives of which are:
-- To create a cash flow positive base of operation by (i) disposing of under-performing and non-strategic assets, and (ii) allowing retained residences the opportunity to stabilize (generate sufficient cash flow to fund operations, capital spending and other cash requirements);
-- To eliminate pending defaults and restructure the Company's senior financing instruments (secured debt arrangements and leases);
-- To reduce the leverage on the Company's operating assets;
-- To protect the Company's operations during the pendency of our restructuring by shielding our employees, residents and vendors from any avoidable adverse consequences of the restructuring; and
-- To the extent practicable, to seek to restore value to the Company's junior capital constituencies.
The principal components of our Restructuring Plan are the disposition of selected assets and the restructuring of our capital structure, including our "senior capital" constituencies comprised principally of our secured indebtedness and leases (operating and capital), our "junior capital" constituencies comprised principally of our convertible pay-in-kind (PIK) debentures, our other convertible subordinated debentures and our equity capitalization, and our remaining joint venture relationships. Discussions with various senior capital structure constituencies commenced in the spring of 2001, and have resulted in a number of restructuring agreements with lenders and lessors with respect to individual credit and lease facilities.
On January 22, 2003 (the "Petition Date"), we filed a voluntary petition with the Bankruptcy Court to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy" or the "Bankruptcy Case") under case number 03-10254 (the "Chapter 11 Filing"). None of our subsidiaries or affiliates are included in the Chapter 11 Filing. We believe that our Chapter 11 Filing is an appropriate and necessary step to conclude the reorganization initiatives commenced in 2001. The focus of our restructuring efforts in 2001 and 2002 has been portfolio rationalization and the restructuring of our senior financing obligations with our secured lenders and lessors. We believe the Bankruptcy will allow us to complete the restructuring of our senior financing obligations and to commence and complete the restructuring of our junior capital structure, which includes unsecured obligations and claims, our convertible subordinated debentures and our preferred and common stock.
At "first day" Bankruptcy hearings held on January 24, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders granting us authority, among other things, to pay pre-petition and post-petition employee wages, salaries, benefits and other employee obligations, pay pre-petition claims of certain vendors critical to the ongoing operations of the Company, pay pre-petition refunds to residents and continue the existing resident program. We remain in possession of our assets and properties and continue to operate our business as a "debtor-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
In conjunction with our Chapter 11 Filing, we secured a $15.0 million debtor-in-possession ("DIP") credit facility from affiliates of certain principal holders of the Company's pay-in-kind securities issued in the summer of 2000. The Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving our borrowing up to $6.5 million under the DIP credit facility on an interim basis on January 24, 2003. On April 9, 2003, the Court issued final approval authorizing the Company to borrow up to the entire $15.0 million of DIP financing, of which only $6.1 million has been borrowed as of June 30, 2003. We have incurred $3.7 and $6.4 million in reorganization costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. These reorganization costs include legal, financial advisory, other professional fees and key employee retention program (the "KERP") and executive bonus accruals incurred in relation to the reorganization.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness, as well as most other pending litigation, are stayed and other contractual pre-petition obligations against the Company generally may not be enforced. Unless otherwise addressed during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Case, substantially all pre-petition liabilities are expected to be discharged and/or treated pursuant to the terms of our plan of reorganization, which will need to be voted upon by appropriate creditor and equity constituencies and approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, we may assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and our satisfaction of certain other requirements. In the event we choose to reject an executory contract or unexpired lease, parties affected by these rejections may file claims as proscribed by the Bankruptcy Code and/or orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Unless otherwise agreed, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease will require the Company to cure all prior monetary defaults under such executory contract or lease, including all pre-petition liabilities. In this regard, we expect that liabilities that will be classified as "subject to compromise" through the Chapter 11 process will arise in the future as a result of the rejection of additional executory contracts and/or unexpired leases, and from the determination of the Bankruptcy Court (or agreement by parties in interest) of allowed claims for items that we now claim as contingent o r disputed. Conversely, we would expect that the assumption of additional executory contracts may convert liabilities shown on our financial statements as subject to compromise to post-petition liabilities. Due to the uncertain nature of many of the potential claims, we are unable to project the magnitude of such claims with any degree of certainty.
On February 4, 2003, the Office of the U.S. Trustee for the District of Delaware appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors in our Bankruptcy Case. This committee often takes positions on matters that come before the Court, and is a party with whom the Company will discuss the terms of our plan of reorganization. There can be no assurance that this committee will support the Company's positions in the bankruptcy proceedings or the Company's plan of reorganization. In addition, delays regarding both the progress of the case and confirmation of any plan of reorganization may occur based upon issues that could be raised by any of the various creditor constituencies in the case.
On March 18, 2003 we filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules of assets and liabilities and statement of financial affairs setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities as shown by our books and records at that date, subject to the assumptions contained in certain notes filed in connection therewith. All of the schedules and the statements of financial affairs are subject to further amendment and modification. Pursuant to an order of the Court, we mailed notices to all known creditors identifying the deadline to file proofs of claim with the court-appointed claims agent, Bankruptcy Services, LLC, as July 8, 2003. An estimated 3,700 claims were filed as of July 8, 2003 in response to the approximately 210,000 notices sent. Differences between amounts scheduled by the Company and claims by creditors will be investigated and resolved in connection with our claims resolution process. The ultimate number and amount of allowed claims is not presently known, and because the treatment of such a llowed claims will be subject to the terms of a confirmed plan of reorganization, the ultimate distribution with respect to allowed claims is not presently ascertainable.
On March 27, 2003, we filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Plan of Reorganization (as amended, the "Plan") and a Disclosure Statement Accompanying Plan of Reorganization (the "Disclosure Statement"). Immediately prior to the filing of our Plan and Disclosure Statement, we also filed a motion (the "Bidding Procedures Motion") with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of bidding procedures with respect to the solicitation and selection of a transaction contemplating either (i) the sale of capital stock of the reorganized Alterra to be effective and funded upon the confirmation and effectiveness of our Plan (an "Exit Equity Transaction") or (ii) the sale, as a going concern, of all or substantially all of the assets of Alterra to be effective and funded upon the confirmation and effectiveness of our Plan (an "Asset Sale Transaction," together with an Exit Equity Transaction, referred to herein as a "Liquidity Transaction"). The Bankruptcy Court approve d our bidding procedures on April 10, 2003.
On July 17, 2003, we conducted an auction to identify the highest and best transaction available to provide for the liquidity needs of the Company as it emerges from Chapter 11, and to maximize the recovery to the Company's creditors. FEBC-ALT Investors Inc. ("FEBC") was the winning bidder, proposing a merger transaction pursuant to which FEBC will acquire all of the equity interests in Alterra (the "Merger"). At, or prior to closing, FEBC will be a majority owned subsidiary of Emeritus Corporation ("Emeritus"), a national provider of assisted living and related services to seniors. Fortress Investment Trust II LLC ("Fortress"), a private equity fund, is providing financing to FEBC for the Merger transaction and owns a minority equity interest in FEBC.
On July 22, 2003, we executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with FEBC, pursuant to which FEBC will acquire 100% of the common stock of the Company upon emergence from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FEBC will pay the Company $76.0 million of merger consideration, which may be adjusted downward in certain circumstances. The merger consideration will be used (i) to fund costs of the Company's bankruptcy and reorganization and to provide for the working capital and other cash needs of the restructured Company and (ii) to fund a distribution to the Company's unsecured creditors. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of numerous conditions, including without limitation confirmation of the Company's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court, receipt of consents and approvals from certain of the Company's secured lenders and lessors and compliance with applicable state and local health regulatory lice nsing requirements. The Merger Agreement provides for the Company to pay to FEBC a "break-up" fee in certain circumstances of $3.0 million plus up to $1.0 million as reimbursement for expenses. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Emeritus and Fortress delivered a Payment Guaranty to the Company pursuant to which Emeritus and Fortress guaranteed up to $6.9 million and $69.1 million of the merger consideration, respectively.
On July 23, 2003, we presented FEBC's Merger proposal as the winning bid at a Bankruptcy Court hearing in accordance with the court-approved bidding procedures. Following the hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Company to execute the Merger Agreement and approving the proposed Merger as the highest and best bid at the auction conducted by the Company on July 17, 2003.
We have filed an amended plan of reorganization and an amended disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court to incorporate the terms and conditions of the Merger, and following Bankruptcy Court approval of the disclosure statement, will be distributing the disclosure statement to our creditors and stakeholders in order to solicit their approval of the Company's Chapter 11 Plan. There can be no assurance that our Plan will be confirmed by the Court or consummated. If our Plan is not accepted by the required number of creditors and equity holders, and the Court either terminates or refuses to extend the Company's exclusive right to file and prosecute a Chapter 11 plan, any party in interest may subsequently file its own plan of reorganization. A plan of reorganization must be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, upon certain findings being made by the Bankruptcy Court which are required by the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Court may confirm a plan notwithstanding the non-acceptance of the plan by an impa ired class of creditors or equity holders if certain requirements of the Bankruptcy Code are met.
A confirmed plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts reported in the financial statements, which do not give effect to all adjustments of the carrying value of assets or liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of a plan of reorganization. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of the Chapter 11 reorganization on our business, various creditors and security holders or when we will be able to emerge from the Bankruptcy Case.
The principal components of our restructuring efforts to date and the further restructuring contemplated by our Plan are summarized below.
Portfolio Rationalization. The Restructuring Plan called for the disposition of 143 of our residences (collectively, the "Disposition Assets") that we determined to be non-strategic for one or more of a variety of reasons, of which 117 residences representing 5,222 resident capacity have either been sold or transferred to a new lessee as of June 30, 2003. In addition, we sold 21 land parcels and transitioned ownership of 5 residences through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions. The disposition of the residences included in the Disposition Assets has been accomplished primarily by actively working with the lenders and lessors to identify new operators and selling assets through an organized sales process. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 we recognized a loss on disposal of $11.3 million, including a loss of $9.3 million in continuing operations and a loss of $2.0 million in discontinued operations, relating to the disposition of 14 residences and the sale leasebac k of 25 residences. Additionally, an impairment loss of $5.2 million, which represents the difference between seven residences' carrying value and the residences' estimated fair value less cost to sell, is included in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003. As of June 30, 2003, approximately $56.1 million is reserved for losses relating to future asset sales, lease terminations and joint venture settlements. A condition to our disposing of the remaining Disposition Assets will be obtaining the consent of the applicable lender or lessor and, in certain cases, the consent of the applicable joint venture partner.
Restructuring of Our Senior Indebtedness and Leases. The Company has a complex senior capital structure, comprised of more than ten significant multi-residence secured credit facilities and six significant portfolios of operating residences that are leased from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Many of our secured credit facilities are structured to incorporate various so-called "bankruptcy-remote" features (i.e., structures designed to improve the applicable lender's rights and leverage in the event of a bankruptcy of the parent company, Alterra), including structuring the credit facility such that the fee owner of the mortgaged residences and the borrower under the credit facility is a newly formed subsidiary of Alterra whose sole activity is to own and operate the residences financed under that credit facility. The structure of certain of these credit facilities serves to limit the Company's ability to restructure these facilities through a bankruptcy, making it generall y preferable for the Company to negotiate consensual restructurings with each group of lenders providing secured financing to the Company.
The Company commenced negotiations with its secured lenders and lessors during 2001. Each separate negotiation has been unique and based on the characteristics of the underlying credit facility, including the credit facility's collateral, terms and structure. Accordingly, our restructuring needs and objectives have varied from one credit facility to the next. Depending on the particular credit facility, we have attempted to reset maturities, address any deficiencies, reset covenants, obtain waivers of default interest and penalties, and secure consent from the lenders and lessors for sales of residences included in their collateral or lease portfolio.
Secured Lender Negotiations. At the outset of our restructuring, management sought to restructure secured loan facilities that, in management's view, would generate significant deficiency claims (i.e., claims in excess of the value of the applicable mortgage portfolio) in the event the applicable lenders sought to call the loan and foreclose on their collateral. Five credit facilities, representing $228.1 million in aggregate financing at June 30, 2003 (secured by mortgages on 37 residences with an aggregate capacity of 2,818 beds) represent, in our view, significant potential deficiency claims in the range of $82.5 million to $104.9 million. In these negotiations, we sought to limit or eliminate these potential deficiency claims against the Company in exchange for our agreement to cooperate with the applicable lenders to facilitate an orderly transition of ownership (and, in certain cases, management) of the mortgaged residences to the lenders or their designees (through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure t ransactions or so-called friendly foreclosures). In transitioning ownership of the mortgaged residences to the lenders, we offered to provide interim management services to the lenders with respect to the mortgaged residences. During 2002, we executed definitive agreements of this type with three different lender groups with regard to three "impaired" credit facilities, originally representing $104.2 million of financing secured by 31 residences with an aggregate capacity of 1,520 beds. As a result of refinancings, asset sales and foreclosures during 2002 and 2003, $13.0 million of this indebtedness secured by mortgages on four residences is remaining at June 30, 2003. Additionally, $19.0 million of indebtedness associated with assets previously disposed of as part of the three executed definitive agreements, but which are pending final release from the applicable lender, is also remaining at June 30, 2003.
In May 2002, one significantly "impaired" lender group that provided $171.0 million in aggregate financing (secured by mortgages on 26 residences with an aggregate capacity of 2,154 beds) caused title to all of the stock of our subsidiary that operated these mortgaged residences to be transferred to a third party. Accordingly, we no longer own these residences, although we do currently serve as interim manager for this lender group. As a result of the stock transfer, these residences are no longer consolidated and operations related to these residences through May 31, 2002 are reported as discontinued operations. We have accrued $58.5 million related to our estimated liability associated with our guaranty (including payment of the termination fee due upon full payment of the mortgage obligations). Such liability is included in liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2003. The liability associated with our guaranty obligation was calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the asse ts and the underlying mortgage obligations.
In January 2003, we entered into agreements with this lender group pursuant to which: (i) we have agreed to manage these 26 residences on an interim basis without a management fee, and to cooperate in transitioning management to any successor manager appointed by the credit participants, and (ii) the Company is entitled to be released of its guaranty and other principal obligations (with the exception of certain environmental indemnities) under this financing structure upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the payment of $5.7 million of fees to the credit participants on or prior to the confirmation of a plan of reorganization in our Bankruptcy Case.
In addition to these impaired credit facilities, we are continuing to seek to negotiate amendments and modifications with the applicable lenders with respect to our other principal secured credit facilities in order to, depending on the specific case, reset covenants, obtain consent to sell certain mortgaged residences, secure waivers of prior defaults and, in certain cases, to extend scheduled maturities. These credit facilities represent $281.6 million of financing secured by an aggregate of 87 residences with an aggregate capacity of 4,243 beds as of June 30, 2003. Discussions with certain of these lenders have commenced, and as of June 30, 2003 we have executed definitive binding agreements with lenders with respect to $102.2 million of indebtedness secured by 36 residences with an aggregate capacity of 1,689 beds, providing for, among other things, extensions of debt maturities, waivers of prior defaults and amendments of certain covenants. In February 2003 we sold 25 residences with an aggregate ca pacity of 894 beds, extinguished the related debt, and leased back the facilities under an operating lease agreement. We also refinanced $6.9 million of debt secured by 6 residences with a capacity of 182 beds. As a result of this debt extinguishment and refinancing, we recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $12.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. We anticipate that we will need to negotiate restructuring agreements and to secure waivers and amendments with certain of our secured lenders as a condition to confirming our Plan and consummating the Merger.
REIT Lessor Negotiations. At June 30, 2003, we had six multi-residence portfolios leased from various REITs, including those assets refinanced in February 2003. These portfolios include an aggregate of 225 residences with an aggregate capacity of 9,609 beds. We have entered into restructuring agreements with respect to all of the five multi-residence lease portfolios existing prior to February 2003. These restructurings included the amendment of certain lease covenants and terms and, in three lease facilities, the conversion of individual leases into single master leases. The cash rent due under one lease facility was modified through the application of various deposits held by the landlord to satisfy a portion of the cash rent obligation in the early years of the restructured master lease.
Restructuring of Junior Capital Structure. As of June 30, 2003, the Company's junior capital structure is comprised of unsecured debt of approximately $457.3 million and equity capitalization consisting of $6.2 million aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock due May 30, 2007 (the "Series A Stock") and 22.2 million shares of Common Stock. The principal components of the Company's unsecured indebtedness as of June 30, 2003 (amounts exclude accrued but unpaid interest) include:
i. $11.0 million aggregate principal face amount of promissory notes issued in connection with the restructuring of certain joint venture arrangements (the "Unsecured Senior Notes") and $5.1 million of other unsecured notes (the "Unsecured Notes");
ii. $253.9 million aggregate principal amount of 9.75% pay-in-kind convertible debentures due May 30, 2007 (the "PIK Debentures") issued in three separate series in 2000;
iii. $112.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% convertible subordinated debentures due December 15, 2002 (the "5.25% Debentures");
iv. $40.4 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% convertible subordinated debentures due June 1, 2004 (the "7.00% Debentures"); and
v. $34.9 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% convertible subordinated debentures due June 30, 2006 (the "6.75% Debentures").
The outstanding 5.25% Debentures, 7.00% Debentures and 6.75% Debentures (collectively, the "Original Debentures") are subordinated to all other "senior indebtedness" of the Company (as defined in the applicable indenture governing such debentures), and the PIK Debentures are subordinated to all "senior indebtedness" of the Company (as defined in the applicable indentures governing such debentures), other than the Original Debentures. Although defined somewhat differently in the several indentures governing the Original Debentures and the PIK Debentures (collectively, the "Subordinated Debentures"), "senior indebtedness" is defined to generally include indebtedness for borrowed money and other similar obligations of Alterra (other than the other series of Original Debentures).
All of our Subordinated Debentures are currently in default due to our failure to make coupon payments on the Original Debentures and due to cross default provisions triggered by payment defaults on our secured debt.
As a result of several notices of default received by the Company with respect to secured indebtedness that by its terms may be accelerated by the applicable lenders, neither we nor the applicable indenture trustees for the Subordinated Debentures are permitted by the subordination provisions of the indentures governing the respective Subordinated Debentures to make any payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Debentures (other than the payment of PIK coupons on the PIK Debentures). As a result, we did not make cash interest payments on the Original Debentures in 2001, 2002 and 2003 of $5.5 million, $11.0 million and $11.0 million, respectively. In the event that the Company is dissolved, liquidated or reorganized, all amounts due in payment of the Company's "senior indebtedness" must be paid or provided for before any payment may be made on account of the Subordinated Debentures.
To the extent that the Company is not able to restructure its capital structure and is forced to liquidate, applicable principles of corporate law (specifically, the liquidation priority of debt over equity and the priority of preferred stock over common stock) and the subordination provisions governing the Subordinated Debentures would dictate that:
- All of our obligations relating to our secured and unsecured loans, including the Unsecured Senior Notes (with a principal balance of $11.0 million at June 30, 2003) and any deficiency claims (estimated at $82.5 million to $104.9 million at June 30, 2003 (disregarding the contingent restructuring agreements described above)) relating to our secured loan facilities, would be required to be paid in full before any liquidation proceeds are distributed to the holders of our Subordinated Debentures;
- All obligations relating to the PIK Debentures ($253.9 million including accrued and unpaid PIK dividends at June 30, 2003) would be required to be paid in full before any liquidation proceeds are distributed to the holders of our Original Debentures;
- All obligations relating to the Original Debentures ($210.3 million including accrued and unpaid interest at June 30, 2003), as well as all other indebtedness of the Company, would be required to be paid in full before any liquidation proceeds are distributed to the holders of our Series A Stock and Common Stock; and
- All liquidation preferences related to our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (approximately $6.2 million as of June 30, 2003) would be required to be paid in full before any liquidation proceeds are distributed to the holders of our Common Stock.
In restructuring our junior capital structure pursuant to our Plan, the relative rights in liquidation of our various junior capital constituencies is a significant factor in determining the extent to which the claims and interests of these various constituencies will be entitled to any distribution of value as the Company is restructured.
Our original Plan, filed with the Bankruptcy Court on March 27, 2003, contemplated that the Company would conduct a marketing process to solicit and identify the "highest and best" proposal for a Liquidity Transaction. Management believes that the Merger, as the highest and best Liquidity Transaction proposed at the July 17, 2003 auction, will provide a fair valuation of the reorganized Alterra that will facilitate the completion of the reorganization and will provide a source of liquidity to make distributions of cash to the holders of various junior capital structure constituents, all to the extent that such holders are entitled to a distribution pursuant to the Plan based on applicable principles of bankruptcy and corporate law and the subordination provisions governing the Subordinated Debentures.
Given the uncertainty as to the outcome of our remaining restructuring negotiations with senior capital constituencies (including, without limitation, the extent to which deficiency claims are asserted in the Bankruptcy Case), and given the impact of operative subordination provisions and corporate and bankruptcy law doctrines governing the relative rights of holders of debt and equity interests in the Company, it is very difficult for us to predict what value, if any, various junior capital constituencies will receive in the restructured Alterra. While it is management's intention, to the extent practicable, to seek to restore value to our junior capital, no assurances may be given as to what value, if any, various junior capital constituencies will have in the restructured Company. Based on our current estimates of value and pursuant to our Plan, no distribution of value will be made to certain classes of unsecured debt or to any class of capital stock of the Company upon the conclusion of the Bankruptcy Case.
Joint Venture Arrangements. The Restructuring Plan calls for us to seek to acquire joint venture interests in certain of our residences in order to simplify our capital structure. In many cases, our acquisition of these joint venture interests (or termination of the applicable joint venture's interest in our residences) is necessary for us to satisfy restructuring requirements established by our senior lenders and lessors.
We have had buy-out or settlement negotiations with investors who currently have interests in an aggregate of 40 joint venture arrangements. As of June 30, 2003, 13 of those joint venture arrangements are associated with residences operating under lease or sublease agreements with the joint venture, while the lease or sublease agreements of the remaining 27 joint venture arrangements have been terminated. No assurance may be given as to whether these negotiations will result in an agreement which enables the Company to acquire 100% of these joint venture entities. If these negotiations fail, the Company's ability to restructure certain of its senior capital financing facilities may be adversely affected.
As of December 2002, we entered into an agreement with one of our joint venture partners pursuant to which we have agreed to purchase all of the remaining joint venture interests not held by the Company in eight residences and to acquire promissory notes previously issued by the Company aggregating approximately $3.6 million in exchange for the issuance of a 5-year unsecured promissory note for $7.2 million from the reorganized Alterra upon confirmation of our plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the consummation of this transaction will be contingent upon, among other things, a successful Chapter 11 reorganization of the Company and Bankruptcy Court approval.
(3) New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Costs covered by SFAS No. 146 include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing or other exit or disposal activity. This statement is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34." This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements and interim annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, but have been excluded from these consolidated financial statements as their impact is deemed immaterial.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51." This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. This Interpretation applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company is evaluating whether its unconsolidated joint ventures will be deemed variable interest entities; however this is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(4) Assets Held for Sale
The Company has adopted plans to dispose of or terminate leases on 143 residences with an aggregate capacity of 6,499 residents and 33 parcels of land, of which 117 residences representing 5,222 resident capacity have either been sold or transferred to a new lessee as of June 30, 2003. In addition, the Company sold 21 land parcels and transitioned ownership of five residences through deed-in-lieu foreclosure transactions. Residences included in the disposition plan were identified based on an assessment of a variety of factors, including geographic location, residence size, operating performance and lender negotiations. As of June 30, 2003, approximately $46.7 million is reserved for losses relating to future asset sales or lease terminations.
In accordance with the SFAS No. 121 and SFAS No. 144 the Company has recorded an impairment loss on its properties to be held for sale whenever their carrying value cannot be fully recovered through the estimated cashflows including net sale proceeds. The amount of the impairment loss to be recognized is the difference between the residence's carrying value and the residence's estimated fair value less costs to sell. The Company's policy is to consider a residence to be held for sale or disposition when the Company has committed to a plan to sell such residence and active marketing activity has commenced or it is expected to commence in the near term. Also in accordance with SFAS No. 144, the impairment loss and revenues and expenses of those residences identified as a disposition asset beginning in January 2002 have been recorded as discontinued operations. Assets held for sale is principally comprised of net property and equipment, goodwill and the corresponding mortgage liability. We expect to sell t hese residences and land parcels in the next six to twelve months.
The following table represents operating information (in thousands) included in the loss on discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, in accordance with SFAS No. 144 of the Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Company:

Loss on discontinued operations | $ | (5,616 | ) | $ | (87,694 | ) | $ | (8,805 | ) | $ | (108,883 | ) |
There are a number of factors that may affect the timing of a sale and the sale price that will ultimately be achieved for these residences, including, among other things, the following: potential increased competition from any other assisted living residences in the area, the relative attractiveness of assisted living residences for investment purposes, interest rates, the actual operations of the residence, the ability to retain existing residents and attract new residents at the residence and a buyout of joint venture interests. As a result, there is no assurance as to what price will ultimately be obtained upon a sale of these residences or the timing of such a sale. The value of the assets held for sale, net of reserves, is reflected in current assets and the outstanding debt related to the assets held for sale is reflected in current liabilities on our balance sheet.
- Liabilities Subject to Compromise
Under bankruptcy law, actions by creditors to collect indebtedness we owe prior to the Petition Date are stayed and certain other pre-petition contractual obligations may not be enforced against the Company. We have received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay certain pre-petition liabilities including employee salaries, wages and benefits and certain vendors critical to the ongoing operations of the Company. Except for certain secured debt and financing lease obligations, all pre-petition liabilities have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. Adjustments to these claims may result from negotiations, payments authorized by the Bankruptcy Court order, additional rejection of executory contracts or other events.
Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Company mailed notices to all known creditors to inform them that the deadline for filing proofs of claim with the Court is July 8, 2003. Amounts that we have recorded as liabilities may be different than the claim amounts filed by our creditors. The number and amount of allowable claims cannot be presently ascertained. The claims reconciliation process may result in adjustments to allowable claims.
The following table summarizes the components of liabilities subject to compromise in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2003 and proforma December 31, 2002 (in thousands):

(7) Subsequent Events
In July 2003, we negotiated settlement agreements with one lender group, holding $23.3 million of indebtedness secured by mortgages on seven residences with an aggregate capacity of 350 beds. Pursuant to these agreements, we agreed to cooperate with the lender to facilitate an orderly transition of ownership and management of the mortgaged residences to the lender or their designee through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction. In transitioning ownership of the mortgaged residences to the lender, we offered to provide interim management services to the lender with respect to the mortgaged residences through August 2003. In exchange for our cooperation and management services, the lender has agreed to release any potential deficiency claims. As of July 31, 2003, all seven residences have been transitioned to a new operator.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a national assisted living company operating assisted living residences and providing assisted living services in 24 states. Our ongoing restructuring activities have had a significant impact on our results of operations and are an important factor in explaining the changes in our results between 2003 and 2002. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, we operated or managed 370 and 408 residences with aggregate capacity of 17,678 and 19,187 residents, respectively. As of June 30, 2003, 13 of our residences were operated in joint venture arrangements with third parties.
On January 22, 2003, we filed a voluntary petition with the Bankruptcy Court to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company believes that its Chapter 11 Filing is an appropriate and necessary step to seek to conclude its reorganization initiatives commenced in 2001. The focus of our restructuring efforts in 2001 and 2002 was portfolio rationalization and the restructuring of our senior financing obligations with our secured lenders and lessors. We believe the Bankruptcy will allow us to complete our restructuring of our senior financing obligations and to commence and complete the restructuring of our junior capital structure, which includes unsecured obligations and claims, our convertible subordinated debentures and our preferred and common stock.
In conjunction with our Chapter 11 Filing, we secured a $15.0 million DIP credit facility from affiliates of certain principal holders of the Company's pay-in-kind securities issued in the summer of 2000. The Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving our borrowing up to $6.5 million under the DIP credit facility on an interim basis on January 24, 2003. On April 9, 2003, the Court issued final approval authorizing the availability of the entire $15.0 million of DIP financing.
On March 27, 2003, we filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Plan of Reorganization and a Disclosure Statement Accompanying Plan of Reorganization. Immediately prior to the filing of our Plan and Disclosure Statement, we also filed a "Bidding Procedures Motion" with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of bidding procedures with respect to the solicitation and selection of a transaction contemplating either (i) the sale of capital stock of the reorganized Alterra to be effective and funded upon the confirmation and effectiveness of our Plan or (ii) the sale, as a going concern, of all or substantially all of the assets of Alterra to be effective and funded upon the confirmation and effectiveness of our Plan. The Bankruptcy Court approved our bidding procedures on April 10, 2003.
On July 17, 2003, we conducted an auction to identify the highest and best transaction available to provide for the liquidity needs of the Company as it emerges from Chapter 11, and to maximize the recovery to the Company's creditors. FEBC was the winning bidder, proposing a merger transaction pursuant to which FEBC will acquire all of the equity interests in Alterra.
On July 22, 2003, we executed the Merger Agreement with FEBC, pursuant to which FEBC will acquire 100% of the common stock of the Company upon emergence from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FEBC will pay the Company $76.0 million of merger consideration, which may be adjusted downward in certain circumstances. The merger consideration will be used (i) to fund costs of the Company's bankruptcy and reorganization and to provide for the working capital and other cash needs of the restructured Company and (ii) to fund a distribution to the Company's unsecured creditors. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of numerous conditions, including without limitation confirmation of the Company's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court, receipt of consents and approvals from certain of the Company's secured lenders and lessors and compliance with applicable state and local health regulatory licensing requirements. The Merger Agreement provides for the Company to pay to FEBC a "break-up"fee in certain circumstances of $3.0 million plus up to $1.0 million as reimbursement for expenses.
On July 23, 2003, we presented FEBC's Merger proposal as the winning bid at a Bankruptcy Court hearing in accordance with the court-approved bidding procedures. Following the hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Company to execute the Merger Agreement and approving the proposed Merger as the highest and best bid at the auction conducted by the Company on July 17, 2003.
We have filed an amended Plan and an amended Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court to incorporate the terms and conditions of the Merger, and following Bankruptcy Court approval of the disclosure statement, will be distributing the disclosure statement to our creditors and stakeholders in order to solicit their approval of the Company's Chapter 11 Plan.
Critical Accounting Policies
In response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Release Numbers 33-8040,Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,and 33-8056,Commission Statement about Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,we have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and asset impairment. We state these accounting policies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. Our estimates are based on information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.
Financial Reporting During Reorganization Proceedings.The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, and in accordance with SOP 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code". Accordingly, all pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise are segregated in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and classified as liabilities subject to compromise and are reported on the basis of the expected amount of the allowed claims in accordance with SFAS No. 5. Liabilities not subject to compromise (such as secured liabilities and post petition liabilities) are separately classified as current and non-current. Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, interest income and provisions for losses resulting from the reorganization are reported separately as Reorganization items, net, except for those required to be reported as discontinued operations in conformity with SFAS No. 144. Cash used for reorganization items is disclosed separately in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Alterra Healthcare Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations of the majority-owned subsidiaries are included from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions with such subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidation. Investments in other affiliated companies in which we have a minority ownership position are accounted for on the equity method.
Revenue Recognition. Resident service fee revenue, which is recorded when services are rendered, consists primarily of resident service fees that are reported at net realizable amounts.
We must make estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable related deferred rent and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income, because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income. The Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101,Revenue Recognition, provides guidance on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. We believe that our revenue recognition policy is appropriate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and SAB No. 101.
Long-Lived Assets. Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation is computed over the estimated lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over 20 to 40 years, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated over three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
We apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to recognize and measure impairment of long-lived assets. We review each long-lived asset for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the real estate investment's use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair market value.
Assets held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period held for sale. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of our real estate properties. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income, because taking an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.
The Company is seeking to negotiate restructurings of several of its principal secured debt and lease obligations and, upon completing these negotiations, will seek to restructure its principal unsecured debt obligations, comprised primarily of the outstanding convertible debentures. Furthermore, at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company was in violation of certain debt covenants.
Income Taxes.Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002
Residence Service Fees. Residence service fees for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $101.6 million, representing an increase of $1.5 million from the $100.2 million for the comparable 2002 period. This increase resulted primarily from the rate increases instituted during the past 12 months offset by a decline in occupancy rates. Average rates were $2,949 and $2,822 as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Company-wide occupancy was 80.2% and 83.6% as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, the Company operated 38 fewer residences (aggregate decrease in resident capacity of 1,509 beds) in the 2003 period than the 2002 period as a result of asset sales and dispositions.
Other Revenues.Other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $395,000, a decrease of $341,000 from the $736,000 of other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease is attributable to reduced development and franchise activity and a reduction in management fees on residences which were either managed for third parties or for entities in which we held a minority ownership position. Management fees include charges for transitional services to recruit and train staff, initial and recurring fees for use of our name and branding, initial and recurring fees for use of our methodologies, services for assisting with finance processing, and ongoing management services provided to operate the residence.
Residence Operating Expenses. Residence operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased to $71.5 million from $66.4 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2002. Operating expenses as a percentage of resident service fees for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were 70.3% and 66.4%, respectively. This percentage increase resulted primarily from increased wages, general liability insurance, health and workers compensation insurance expense, residence maintenance and utility expenses during the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
Lease Expense. Lease expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $16.2 million, compared to $14.8 million in the comparable period in 2002. This increase is the result of the February 2003 sale/leaseback of 25 residences, offset by lease terminations and restructurings that occurred during the past 12 months.
Gain on Lease Termination. The $6.2 million gain on lease termination consists of deferred gains recognized in 2002 due to a new master lease completed during the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Lease Income.We earned $1.3 million of lease income for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $3.9 million for the comparable period in 2002, on residences owned or leased by us and leased or subleased to unconsolidated joint ventures. This decrease in lease income occurred due to a reduction in the number of unconsolidated joint ventures operating Alterra residences from 36 to 13 as of June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Lease payment obligations of the unconsolidated joint venture entities are generally equivalent to the debt service payable by us on the leased residences, and thereby offset our costs associated with obtaining and maintaining financing for such residences.
General and Administrative Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, general and administrative expenses were $9.0 million compared to $9.8 million before $3.1 million in restructuring costs for the comparable period in 2002, representing a decrease as a percentage of operating revenue from 9.7% in the 2002 period compared to 8.8% in the 2003 period. This decrease in on-going expenses in the 2003 period was primarily attributable to cost reductions which we have implemented to improve corporate efficiencies. An additional $3.7 million of KERP and executive bonus accruals and professional fees, including legal and financial advisory fees incurred by the creditors committee and by the Company related to the reorganization are being reported separately in accordance with SOP 90-7.
Loss on Disposal. We adopted a plan to dispose of 143 residences with aggregate capacity of 6,499 residents and 33 parcels of land. During the three months ended June 30, 2002 we sold or terminated leases on nine residences (421 resident capacity) and two land parcels resulting in a gain on disposal of $9.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we recognized a loss on disposal of $109,000 resulting from the sale of three residences (130 resident capacity).
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was $5.6 million representing a decrease of $537,000, or 9.6%, from the $6.1 million of depreciation and amortization for 2002. This decrease is the result of the February 2003 sale/leaseback of 25 residences and the asset dispositions which occurred during the past 12 months.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $12.7 million of net interest expense for the comparable 2002 period, prior to $204,000 of bank amendment fees paid in the quarter. As a result of our decision to reduce development and construction activity beginning in 2001, all construction activity has stopped and no capitalized interest was recorded for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 or 2002. Interest income for the 2003 period was $43,000 as compared to $261,000 for the 2002 period. In accordance with SOP 90-7, the interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 excludes $3.4 million of contractual convertible debt and note payable interest obligations incurred subsequent to the bankruptcy filing on January 22, 2003, contributing to the decrease from June 30, 2002.
Amortization of Financing Costs.Amortization of financing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $791,000 compared to $1.5 million of amortized financing costs for the comparable 2002 period. This decrease is the result of debt retirements and fully amortized financing costs.
PIK Interest, Net. "Pay-In-Kind" (PIK) interest for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $600,000 and $6.5 million, respectively, and includes interest expense on the PIK Debentures which were issued in May and August 2000. In accordance with SOP 90-7, the PIK interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 excludes $7.7 million of contractual PIK interest obligations incurred subsequent to the bankruptcy filing on January 22, 2003, resulting in the decrease from the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates. Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was $120,000 representing a decrease of $1.9 million from $2.0 million of losses for the comparable 2002 period. Our joint venture partners have not made substantial capital contributions to a number of joint ventures for several quarters. Therefore, we have absorbed the losses of those unconsolidated joint ventures in excess of capital contributed by the joint venture partner. The decrease in equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates is due to a reduction in the number of joint ventures that operate Alterra residences from 36 at June 30, 2002 to 13 at June 30, 2003, resulting from joint venture buy-outs and lease terminations that occurred during 2002 and 2003.
Reorganization Costs.Reorganization costs were $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. These costs include professional fees, such as legal and financial advisory fees incurred by the creditors committee and by the Company related to the reorganization and $435,000 in bonus expense accruals associated with the Bankruptcy Court approved KERP and executive bonus plans.
Income Taxes. For the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we recorded a current state and local income tax provision of $25,000 and $30,000, respectively. The income tax expense for these periods reflect the treatment of PIK interest as non-deductible interest. We do not currently anticipate that the interest expense which we will incur in the future related to the PIK Debentures will be deductible for income tax purposes.
As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, we do not have a deferred tax asset. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, we are required to continuously evaluate the recoverability of the deferred tax assets based on the criteria that it is "more likely than not" that the deferred taxes will be recoverable through future taxable income. This evaluation is made based on our internal projections which are routinely updated to reflect more recent operating trends. Based on our current financial projections, we are uncertain that we will recover these net deferred tax assets through future taxable income. In addition, the utilization of our $451.5 million Net Operating Loss carryforward could be subject to limitations based on the change of control provisions in the Internal Revenue Code which may become operative in a liquidity transaction or through implementation of our Plan. Accordingly, we have established a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, this valuation allowance was $228.3 million and $211.0 million, respectively.
Loss on Discontinued Operations.Included in discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003 are the operating losses associated with those residences identified as disposition assets subsequent to January 1, 2002 in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lives Assets." Additionally, impairment losses totaling $5.2 million, which represent the difference between a residences' carrying value and the residences' estimated fair value less costs to sell, and a gain on disposal of $281,000 associated with the disposition of three residences (130 resident capacity) are included in discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Additionally, impairment losses totaling $4.4 million, which represent the difference between a residences' carrying value and the residences' estimated fair value less costs to sell, and a loss on disposal of $23.7 million associated with the disposition of one residence (38 resident capacity) and the write off of the net assets of a former subsidiary at the time of the transfer of the stock of the subsidiary, are included in discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Also included in discontinued operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 is a loss of $54.7 million related to our estimated liability associated with our guaranty obligation of the former subsidiary.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2002
Residence Service Fees. Residence service fees for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $206.1 million, representing an increase of $4.7 million from the $201.4 million for the comparable 2002 period. This increase resulted primarily from the rate increases instituted during the past 12 months offset by a decline in occupancy rates. Average rates were $2,949 and $2,822 as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Company-wide occupancy was 80.2% and 83.6% as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The decrease is attributable to reduced development and franchise activity and a reduction in management fees on residences which were either managed for third parties or for entities in which we held a minority ownership position. Management fees include charges for transitional services to recruit and train staff, initial and recurring fees for use of our name and branding, initial and recurring fees for use of our methodologies, services for assisting with finance processing, and ongoing management services provided to operate the residence.
Residence Operating Expenses. Residence operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased to $141.6 million from $132.2 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2002. Operating expenses as a percentage of resident service fees for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were 68.7% and 65.6%, respectively. This percentage increase resulted primarily from increased wages, general liability insurance, health and workers compensation insurance expense, residence maintenance and utility expenses.
Lease Expense. Lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $31.3 million, compared to $29.1 million in the comparable period in 2002.

This decrease in lease income occurred due to a reduction in the number of unconsolidated joint ventures operating Alterra residences from 36 to 13 as of June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Lease payment obligations of the unconsolidated joint venture entities are generally equivalent to the debt service payable by us on the leased residences, and thereby offset our costs associated with obtaining and maintaining financing for such residences.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, general and administrative expenses were $18.5 million compared to $18.9 million before $4.5 million in restructuring costs for the comparable period in 2002, representing a decrease as a percentage of operating revenue from 9.3% in the 2002 period compared to 8.9% in the 2003 period. This decrease in on-going expenses in the 2003 period was primarily attributable to cost reductions which we have implemented to improve corporate efficiencies. An additional $6.4 million of KERP and executive bonus accruals and professional fees, including legal and financial advisory fees incurred by the creditors committee and by the Company related to the reorganization are being reported separately in accordance with SOP 90-7.
Loss on Disposal. We adopted a plan to dispose of 143 residences with aggregate capacity of 6,499 residents and 33 parcels of land. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 we sold or terminated leases on 16 residences (773 resident capacity) and two land parcels resulting in a gain on disposal of $11.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we recognized a loss on disposal of $9.3 million resulting from the sale of six residences (224 resident capacity) and the sale leaseback of 25 residences (894 resident capacity). In addition, the loss on disposal includes a $2.4 million charge relating to outstanding receivables associated with a joint venture termination which occurred in a prior period.

Impairment Charge.We recognized an impairment charge of $2.9 million in accordance with SFAS No. 144 during the six months ended June 30, 2003. This impairment charge was based on the difference between an asset's carrying amount and fair value, where the fair value was determined by estimating the present value of estimated future cash flows.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $24.5 million of net interest expense for the comparable 2002 period, prior to $613,000 of bank amendment fees paid in the quarter. As a result of our decision to reduce development and construction activity beginning in 2001, all construction activity has stopped and no capitalized interest was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2003 or 2002.

Our joint venture partners have not made substantial capital contributions to a number of joint ventures for several quarters. Therefore, we have absorbed the losses of those unconsolidated joint ventures in excess of capital contributed by the joint venture partner.

Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we recorded a current state and local income tax provision of $50,000 and $60,000, respectively. The income tax expense for these periods reflect the treatment of PIK interest as non-deductible interest. We do not currently anticipate that the interest expense which we will incur in the future related to the PIK Debentures will be deductible for income tax purposes.
As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, we do not have a deferred tax asset.

Also included in discontinued operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 is a loss of $54.7 million related to our estimated liability associated with our guaranty obligation of the former subsidiary, and a loss of $11. 9 million recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle.In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," having a required effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Under the transitional provisions of SFAS No. 142, we identified reporting units and performed impairment tests on the net goodwill associated with each of these reporting units. The fair value of the reporting units was determined by estimating the present value of future cash flows. Based on this impairment testing, we recorded an impairment loss of $54.7 million in the first quarter of 2002. The impairment loss has been recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2003, we had $18.8 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $230.1 million (excluding $590.6 million of liabilities deemed to be subject to compromise) compared to unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million and a working capital deficit of $919.4 million at June 30, 2002.
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, operating cash flow was $6.2 million compared to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The cash flow for the 2002 and 2003 periods reflect our decision to discontinue paying debt service and lease payments to selected lenders and lessors.
In conjunction with our Chapter 11 Filing, in January 2003 we secured a $15.0 million DIP credit facility from affiliates of certain principal holders of the Company's pay-in-kind securities issued in the summer of 2000. The Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving our borrowing up to $6.5 million under the DIP credit facility on an interim basis on January 24, 2003. Additional borrowings of up to a total $15.0 million under the DIP credit facility were approved by the Bankruptcy Court on April 9, 2003. As of June 30, 2003, $6.1 million has been borrowed under the DIP credit facility.
Historically, we financed our operations and growth through a combination of various forms of real estate financing (mortgage financing, synthetic leases, financing leases and sale/leasebacks), capital contributions from joint venture partners and the sale of our securities (Common Stock, preferred stock and Subordinated Debentures) and, to a lesser extent, cash from operations. At June 30, 2003, we had $904.1 million of outstanding debt principally consisting of $441.2 million of Subordinated Debentures having a weighted average interest rate of 8.12%, $112.3 million of fixed rate debt having a weighted average interest rate of 7.57%, capitalized and financing lease obligations of $77.0 million having a weighted average interest rate of 11.37%, $243.6 million of variable rate debt having a weighted average interest rate of 5.63%, and $16.2 million and $13.8 million of notes payable and short-term borrowings, respectively.
Our principal credit and financing agreements, including our Subordinated Debentures and our lease agreements, include cross-default provisions that provide that a material default under our other credit facilities constitutes a default under that credit or financing agreement. Accordingly, any material default arising under one of our credit or financing agreements could result (and, as discussed below, has resulted) in many of our other major credit and financing arrangements being in default. In addition, our principal credit and financing agreements include various financial covenants and other restrictions, including: (i) fixed charge coverage requirements, typically measured on a trailing four quarter basis and which generally increase over the term of the applicable credit agreement; (ii) maximum leverage ratios which limit our aggregate senior indebtedness to total capitalization; (iii) various minimum net worth or tangible net worth requirements; (iv) in some cases, property specific debt service coverage requirements and similar financial covenants of the type referenced above applicable to individual properties or to the pool of residences financed by the applicable lender; and (v) the maintenance of operating and other reserves for the benefit of the residences serving as collateral for the applicable lender. We are currently not in compliance with certain of these covenants, although we have negotiated limited in time waivers with certain lenders and lessors. Additionally, under some of our credit and sale/leaseback facilities we are required to secure lender or lessor consent prior to engaging in mergers, business combinations or change in control transactions. Certain consents, waivers and approvals will need to be secured from certain of our lenders and lessors in order to consummate the Merger with FEBC..
We elected not to fund certain debt service and lease payment obligations due in 2001, 2002 and 2003 without the consent of the applicable lender or lessor. Through additional payments, prepayments associated with asset sales and application of escrowed amounts, as of June 30, 2003, $2.8 million of delinquent outstanding
scheduled debt service remains unpaid (excluding delinquent scheduled debt service relating to the $590.6 million of liabilities subject to compromise). We have received a written notice of acceleration from lenders with respect to indebtedness aggregating $51.2 million at June 30, 2003. In addition, indebtedness of approximately $129.3 million has fully matured and is past due. Many of our other credit and lease facilities are in technical default as a result of these payment defaults associated with other loan and lease facilities, but several of these lenders and lessors have executed limited in time waivers. We have received written notices of default from most of these lenders or lessors, three lessors have terminated leases for 20 residences (1,068 resident capacity) and other lenders have elected to apply deposits and reserve funds of ours held by such lenders against the past due payments. Five lenders have activated or have indicated that they may activate "cash traps" of bank account s relating to the operation of residences mortgaged to such lenders, either pursuant to arrangements set forth in the applicable loan documents or as negotiated with the Company. We are also in litigation with a former lessor with respect to their damage claim associated with the early termination of their 11 residence lease portfolio.
Our operations will require significant additional capital resources in the future in order to fund: (i) the professional fees and other related costs associated with our Bankruptcy Case and Restructuring Plan; (ii) our ongoing debt service and lease obligations, including repayment of our DIP credit facility and maturities of our long-term debt and refinancing of short term debt; (iii) deferred capital expenditures; (iv) normalizing our professional and general liability insurance programs; and (v) general working capital needs. Since July 1, 2001, due to our limited cash resources and a general lack of availability of traditional professional and general liability insurance products, we have maintained substantially lower levels of liability insurance than would be desirable given actuarial estimates. Accordingly, our Restructuring Plan contemplates higher cash requirements for insurance in the future than we have incurred in the recent past.
Additionally, growth in residence operating cash flow has been slower than projected as a result of (i) increased operating costs, including labor, utilities and liability insurance and (ii) slower fill rates in our pre-stabilized residences and reduction in occupancy levels in certain of our stabilized residences. As a result of ongoing operating losses and these identified future capital needs, we expect that our projected cash needs during 2003 will exceed our projected identified cash resources. To satisfy these cash shortfalls and to preserve the integrity of our operations, we are seeking to consummate the Merger and are pursuing our Restructuring Plan which seeks, among other things, to dispose of a significant number of our residences which operate with cash shortfalls, to defer some of our secured debt maturities until those dispositions and negotiated restructurings of our principal debt and lease obligations can occur, and to restructure our junior capital structure. See "Business- Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and Restructuring Activities".
At the outset of our restructuring, management sought to restructure secured loan facilities that, in management's view, would generate significant deficiency claims (i.e., claims in excess of the value of the applicable mortgage portfolio) in the event the applicable lenders sought to call the loan and foreclose on their collateral. Management believes that five credit facilities representing $228.1 million in aggregate financing at June 30, 2003 (secured by mortgages on 37 residences with a capacity of 2,818 beds) appear to represent significant potential deficiency claims in the range of $82.5 million to $104.9 million. In these negotiations, we sought to limit or eliminate these potential deficiency claims against the Company in exchange for our agreement to cooperate with the applicable lenders to facilitate an orderly transition of ownership (and, in certain cases, management) of the mortgaged residences to the lenders or their designees (through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions or so-called friendly foreclosures). In transitioning ownership of the mortgaged residences to the lenders, we offered to provide interim or long-term management services to the lenders with respect to the mortgaged residences. As noted above, during 2002, we executed definitive agreements of this type with three different lender groups with regard to three "impaired" credit facilities, originally representing $104.2 million of financing secured by 31 residences with an aggregate capacity of 1,520 beds. As a result of refinancings, asset sales and foreclosures during 2002 and 2003, $13.0 million of this indebtedness secured by mortgages on four residences is remaining at June 30, 2003. Additionally, $19.0 million of indebtedness associated with assets previously disposed of as part of the three executed definitive agreements, but which are pending final release from the applicable lender is also remaining at June 30, 2003.
In May 2002, the lender group for one "impaired" facility, representing $171.0 million in aggregate financing (secured by mortgages on 26 residences with an aggregate capacity of 2,154 beds) caused title to all of the stock of our subsidiary that operated these mortgaged residences to be transferred to a third party. Accordingly, we no longer own these residences, although we do currently manage these residences for this lender group and are actively negotiating with the lender group seeking to limit or eliminate any deficiency claim arising under our guaranty of this financing. As a result of the stock transfer, these residences are no longer consolidated and operations related to these residences through May 31, 2002 are reported as discontinued operations. We have accrued $58.5 million related to our estimated liability associated with our guaranty (including payment of the termination fee due upon full payment of the mortgage obligations). Such liability is included in liabilities subject to compromi se at June 30, 2003. The liability associated with our guaranty obligation was calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the assets and the underlying mortgage obligations.
In January 2003, we entered into agreements with this lender group pursuant to which: (i) we have agreed to manage these 26 residences on an interim basis without a management fee, and to cooperate in transitioning management to any successor manager appointed by the credit participants, and (ii) the Company is entitled to be released of its guaranty and other principal obligations (with the exception of certain environmental indemnities) under this financing structure upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the payment of $5.7 million of fees to the credit participants on or prior to the confirmation of a plan of reorganization in our Bankruptcy Case.
In addition to these impaired credit facilities, we are continuing to seek to negotiate amendments and modifications with the applicable lenders with respect to our other principal secured credit facilities in order to, depending on the specific case, reset covenants, obtain consent to sell certain mortgaged residences, secure waivers of prior defaults and, in certain cases, to extend scheduled maturities. These credit facilities represent $281.6 million of financing secured by an aggregate of 87 residences with an aggregate capacity of 4,243 beds as of June 30, 2003. Discussions with certain of these lenders have commenced, and as of June 30, 2003 we have executed definitive binding agreements with lenders with respect to $102.2 million of indebtedness secured by 36 residences with an aggregate capacity of 1,689 beds, providing for, among other things, extensions of debt maturities, waivers of prior defaults and amendments of certain covenants. In February 2003 we sold 25 residences with an aggregate cap acity of 894 beds, extinguished the related debt, and leased back the facilities under an operating lease agreement. We also refinanced $6.9 million of debt secured by six residences with a capacity of 182 beds. We anticipate that we will need to negotiate restructuring agreements and to secure waivers and amendments with most of our secured lenders as a condition to confirming our Plan and consummating the Merger.
As of June 30, 2003, we had six multi-residence portfolios leased from various REITs, including those assets refinanced in February 2003. These portfolios include an aggregate of 225 residences with an aggregate capacity of 9,609 beds. We have entered into restructuring agreements with respect to the five multi-residence lease portfolios existing prior to February 2003. These restructurings included the amendment of certain lease covenants and terms and, in three lease facilities, the conversion of individual leases into single master leases. The cash rent due under one lease facility was modified through the application of various deposits held by the landlord to satisfy a portion of the cash rent obligation in the early years of the restructured master lease. We anticipate that we will need to secure further waivers and amendments from our principal lessors as a condition to confirming our Plan and consummating the Merger.
As of June 30, 2003, the Company's junior capital structure is comprised of unsecured debt of approximately $457.3 million and equity capitalization consisting of $6.2 million aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock due May 30, 2007 and 22.2 million shares of Common Stock. The principal components of the Company's unsecured indebtedness as of June 30, 2002 (amounts exclude accrued but unpaid interest) include:
ii. $253.9 million aggregate principal amount of 9.75% pay-in-kind convertible debentures due May 30, 2007 (the "PIK Debentures") issued in three separate series in 2000;
iii. $112.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% convertible subordinated debentures due December 15, 2002 (the "5.25% Debentures");
iv. $40.4 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% convertible subordinated debentures due June 1, 2004 (the "7.00% Debentures"); and
v. $34.9 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% convertible subordinated debentures due June 30, 2006 (the "6.75% Debentures").
The outstanding 5.25% Debentures, 7.00% Debentures and 6.75% Debentures (collectively, the "Original Debentures") are subordinated to all other "senior indebtedness" of the Company (as defined in the applicable indenture governing such debentures), and the PIK Debentures are subordinated to all "senior indebtedness" of the Company (as defined in the applicable indentures governing such debentures), other than the Original Debentures. Although defined somewhat differently in the several indentures governing the Original Debentures and the PIK Debentures (collectively, the "Subordinated Debentures"), "senior indebtedness" is defined to generally include indebtedness for borrowed money and other similar obligations of Alterra (other than the other series of Original Debentures).
All of our Subordinated Debentures are currently in default due to our failure to make coupon payments on the Original Debentures and due to cross default provisions triggered by payment defaults on our secured debt.
As a result of several notices of default received by the Company with respect to secured indebtedness that by its terms may be accelerated by the applicable lenders, neither we nor the applicable indenture trustees for the Subordinated Debentures are permitted by the subordination provisions of the indentures governing the respective Subordinated Debentures to make any payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Debentures (other than the payment of PIK coupons on the PIK Debentures). As a result, we did not make cash interest payments on the Original Debentures in 2001, 2002 and 2003 of $5.5 million, $11.0 million and $11.0 million, respectively. In the event that the Company is dissolved, liquidated or reorganized, all amounts due in payment of the Company's "senior indebtedness" must be paid or provided for before any payment may be made on account of the Subordinated Debentures.
To the extent that the Company is not able to restructure its capital structure and is forced to liquidate, applicable principles of corporate law (specifically, the liquidation priority of debt over equity and the priority of preferred stock over common stock) and the subordination provisions governing the Subordinated Debentures would dictate that:
- All of our obligations relating to our secured and unsecured loans, including the Unsecured Senior Notes (with a principal balance of $11.0 million at June 30, 2003) and any deficiency claims (estimated at $82.5 million to $104.9 million at June 30, 2003 (disregarding the restructuring agreements described above)) relating to our secured loan facilities, would be required to be paid in full before any liquidation proceeds are distributed to the holders of our Subordinated Debentures;
- All obligations relating to the PIK Debentures ($253.9 million including accrued and unpaid PIK dividends at June 30, 2003) would be required to be paid in full before any liquidation proceeds are distributed to the holders of our Original Debentures;
- All obligations relating to the Original Debentures ($210.3 million including accrued and unpaid interest at June 30, 2003), as well as all other indebtedness of the Company, would be required to be paid in full before any liquidation proceeds are distributed to the holders of our Series A Stock and Common Stock; and
- All liquidation preferences related to our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (approximately $6.2 million as of June 30, 2003) would be required to be paid in full before any liquidation proceeds are distributed to the holders of our Common Stock.
In restructuring our junior capital structure pursuant to our Plan, the relative rights in liquidation of our various junior capital constituencies is a significant factor in determining the extent to which the claims and interests of these various constituencies will be entitled to any distribution of value as the Company is restructured.
Our original Plan, filed with the Bankruptcy Court on March 27, 2003, contemplated that the Company would conduct a marketing process in order to solicit and identify the "highest and best" proposal for a Liquidity Transaction. Management believes that the Merger, as the highest and best Liquidity Transaction proposed at the July 17, 2003 auction, will provide a fair valuation of the reorganized Alterra that will facilitate the completion of the reorganization and will provide a source of liquidity to make distributions of cash to the holders of various junior capital structure constituents, all to the extent that such holders are entitled to a distribution pursuant to applicable principals of bankruptcy law and the subordination provisions governing the Subordinated Debentures.
Given the uncertainty as to the outcome of our remaining restructuring negotiations with senior capital constituencies (including, without limitation, the extent to which deficiency claims are asserted in the Bankruptcy Case) and given the impact of operative subordination provisions and corporate and bankruptcy law doctrines governing the relative rights of holders of debt and equity interests in the Company, it is very difficult for us to predict what value, if any, various junior capital constituencies will receive in the restructured Alterra. While it is management's intention, to the extent practicable, to seek to restore value to our junior capital, no assurances may be given as to what value, if any, various junior capital constituencies will have in the restructured Company. Based on our current estimates of value and pursuant to our Plan, no distribution of value will be made to certain classes of unsecured debt or to any class of capital stock of the Company upon the conclusion of the Bankruptcy Case.
The Restructuring Plan calls for us to seek to acquire joint venture interests in certain of our residences in order to simplify our capital structure. In many cases, our acquisition of these joint venture interests (or termination of the applicable joint venture's interest in our residences) is necessary for us to satisfy restructuring requirements established by our senior lenders and lessors.
We have had buy-out or settlement negotiations with investors who currently have interests in an aggregate of 40 joint venture arrangements. As of June 30, 2003, 13 of those joint venture arrangements are associated with residences operating under lease or sublease agreements with the joint venture, while the lease or sublease agreements of the remaining 27 joint venture arrangements have been terminated. No assurance may be given as to whether these negotiations will result in an agreement which enables the Company to acquire 100% of these joint venture entities. If these negotiations fail, the Company's ability to restructure certain of its senior capital financing facilities may be adversely affected.
As of December 2002, we entered into an agreement with one of our joint venture partners pursuant to which we have agreed to purchase all of the remaining joint venture interests not held by the Company in eight residences and to acquire promissory notes previously issued by the Company aggregating approximately $3.6 million in exchange for the issuance of a 5-year unsecured promissory note for $7.2 million from the reorganized Alterra upon confirmation of our plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the consummation of this transaction will be contingent upon, among other things, a successful Chapter 11 reorganization of the Company and Bankruptcy Court approval.
As of June 30, 2003, our current portion of long-term debt totaled $284.2 million. These current maturities include debt and lease obligations that are in default or pursuant to cross-default provisions and may be declared in default and accelerated at the lender's election, obligations associated with assets classified as held for sale, and amounts that have fully matured and are past due as of June 30, 2003. Additionally, indebtedness of $458.5 million, including $441.1 million of Subordinated Debentures and $17.4 million of notes payable, are classified as liabilities subject to compromise.
On July 22, 2003, we executed the Merger Agreement with FEBC, pursuant to which FEBC will acquire 100% of the common stock of the Company upon emergence from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FEBC will pay the Company $76.0 million of merger consideration, which may be adjusted downward in certain circumstances. The merger consideration will be used (i) to fund costs of the Company's bankruptcy and reorganization and to provide for the working capital and other cash needs of the restructured Company and (ii) to fund a distribution to the Company's unsecured creditors. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of numerous conditions, including without limitation confirmation of the Company's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court, receipt of consents and approvals from certain of the Company's secured lenders and lessors and compliance with applicable state and local health regulatory licensing requirements.
To address our long-term liquidity and capital needs, including our upcoming debt maturities, we intend to (i) seek to consummate the Merger; (ii) continue our negotiations with our lenders, lessors, joint venture partners, and to seek to implement the Restructuring Plan and the Plan; (iii) continue to implement operating initiatives focused on overall rate and occupancy improvement and overhead reductions; (iv) dispose of under-performing and non-strategic residences in order to reduce associated financing costs, operating expenses and to generate cash; and (v) seek to identify sources of financing to refinance pending and near term debt maturities. As our Restructuring Plan and the Plan are largely dependent upon our ability to implement negotiated consensual restructuring arrangements with our various capital structure constituencies, no assurances may be given as to whether we will be able to restructure the Company or to restore value to various of our capital structure constituencies.
Impact of Inflation
To date, inflation has not had a significant impact on us. Inflation could, however, affect our results of operations due to our dependence on our senior resident population who rely on liquid assets and relatively fixed incomes to pay for our services. As a result, we may not be able to increase residence service fees to account fully for increased operating expenses. In structuring our fees we attempt to anticipate inflation levels, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to anticipate fully or otherwise respond to any future inflationary pressures.
Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this quarterly report relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management's belief and assumptions using currently available information. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the ability of the Company to satisfy its operating and capital needs during the pendency of its bankruptcy case; the Company's ability to successfully negotiate necessary modifications and amendments with its secured lenders and lessors; the Company's ability to access financing needed to refinance significant pending debt maturities; the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; the ability of the Company to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization; the Company's ability to consumma te the Merger; risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court approval for the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or to convert the Company's bankruptcy case to a Chapter 7 liquidation; the potential adverse impact of the Company's Chapter 11 filing on the Company's relationships with its residents, vendors and employees; competition and the ability of the Company to attract private pay residents to its residences; the Company's ability to fund and maintain self insurance programs at levels necessary to address potential liability claims and satisfy the requirements of lenders and lessors; government legislation and regulation; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in the reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those forecasted or expected. We assume no duty to publicly u pdate these statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. Changes in these factors may cause fluctuations in the Company's earnings and cash flows.
We performed a sensitivity analysis which presents the hypothetical change in fair value of those financial instruments held by us at June 30, 2003, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Market risk is estimated as the potential change in fair value resulting from an immediate hypothetical one-percentage point parallel shift in the yield curve. The fair value of the debt included in the analysis is $243.6 million. Although not expected, a one-percentage point change in the interest rates would have caused our annual interest expense to change by approximately $2.4 million. Accordingly, a significant increase in LIBOR based interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our earnings.
Although a majority of the debt and lease payment obligations we have as of or during the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not subject to floating interest rates, indebtedness that we may incur in the future may bear interest at a floating rate.
We do not presently use financial derivative instruments to manage interest costs. We do not use foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts or commodity contracts and do not have foreign currency exposure as of June 30, 2002.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains "disclosure controls and procedures", as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company's management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and the Company's management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The C ompany has carried out an evaluation, within the 90 days prior to the date of filing of this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company, is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within the Company during the period in which this report was being prepared.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries is a party to any legal proceeding other than the Bankruptcy Case, the outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse affect on our financial condition or results of operations, with the possible exception of the matters described below. As a result of the Chapter 11 Filing, each of these matters has been stayed as against the Company pending further relief from the Bankruptcy Court. Pending litigation against the Company's subsidiaries and other affiliates has not been stayed by the Bankruptcy Case.
As previously described, on January 22, 2003, the Company filed the Chapter 11 Filing with the Bankruptcy Court (Case No. 03-10254).
We elected not to fund certain debt service and lease payment obligations due during 2001, 2002 and 2003 without the consent of the applicable lender or lessor. Through additional payments, prepayments associated with asset sales and application of escrowed amounts, as of June 30, 2003, we had $2.8 million of remaining delinquent outstanding scheduled debt service due to lenders (excluding delinquent scheduled debt service related to the $590.6 million of liabilities deemed subject to compromise). We have received a written notice of acceleration from lenders with respect to indebtedness aggregating $51.2 million as of June 30, 2003. Additionally, indebtedness of approximately $129.3 million has fully matured and is past due. Many of our other credit and lease facilities are in technical default as a result of these payment defaults associated with other loan and lease facilities, but several of these lenders and lessors have executed limited in time waivers. We are also in de fault under various financial and other covenants contained in certain of our credit and lease arrangements. We have received written notices of default from most of these lenders or lessors, three lessors have terminated leases for 17 residences (940 resident capacity) and other lenders have elected to apply deposits and reserve funds of ours held by such lenders against the past due payments. Five lenders have activated or are in the process of activating "cash traps" of bank accounts relating to the operation of residences mortgaged to such lenders, either pursuant to arrangements set forth in the applicable loan documents or as subsequently negotiated with the Company. We are also in litigation commenced in 2001 in the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee, with a former lessor who has asserted a damage claim arising out of the early termination of its 11 residence lease portfolio.
The Company's Subordinated Debentures include subordination provisions that prohibit the Company from making interest payments to the debenture holders (other than payment-in-kind coupon payments) after the occurrence of payment defaults on the Company's senior indebtedness. As such, we defaulted in making coupon payments on our 5.25%, 6.75% and 7.00% Debentures aggregating approximately $5.5 million in July 2001, and $11.0 million in 2002 and 2003.
We are seeking to address all of our pending defaults of our senior and junior capital structure obligations through our Restructuring Plan and the Bankruptcy Case. However, our Restructuring Plan is dependent upon our ability to negotiate consensual modifications and waivers with certain of our senior capital structure constituents. Absent an agreed upon resolution with these third parties and assuming, in certain cases to the extent applicable, such parties secure relief from the stay of the Bankruptcy Case from the Bankruptcy Court, our lenders and lessors may begin exercising remedies under their applicable financing agreements that could substantially hinder or disrupt our efforts to restructure the Company and result in a liquidation of the Company.
We are also subject to various professional and liability claims. Since July 1, 2001, due to our limited cash resources and a general lack of availability of traditional professional and general liability insurance products, we have maintained levels of liability insurance that are substantially lower than would be desirable given actuarial estimates. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further discussion.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
In order to maintain sufficient operating liquidity, we elected not to fund certain 2001, 2002 and 2003 debt service and lease payment obligations without the consent of the applicable lender. Through additional payments, prepayments associated with asset sales and application of escrowed amounts, as of June 30, 2003, we had $2.8 million of remaining outstanding debt service (excluding delinquent scheduled debt service related to the $590.6 million of liabilities deemed subject to compromise). We have received a written notice of acceleration from lenders with respect to indebtedness aggregating $51.2 million. In addition, indebtedness of approximately $129.3 million has fully matured and is past due. Many of our other credit and lease facilities are in technical default as a result of these payment defaults associated with other loan and lease facilities, but several of these lenders and lessors have executed limited in time waivers. We have received written notices of default from most of these lenders or lessors, three lessors have terminated leases for 20 residences (1,068 beds) and other lenders or lessors have elected to apply our deposits and reserve funds held by such lenders and lessors against past due payments. Five lenders have activated or are in the process of activating "cash traps" of bank accounts relating to the operation of residences mortgaged to such lenders.
We are also in litigation with a former lessor with respect to their damage claim associated with the early termination of their 11 residence lease portfolio.
We expect that absent an agreed upon resolution, other lenders and lessors may also begin exercising remedies under their loan and lease documents. We are not aware of any further steps taken by these lenders to exercise their remedies subsequent to the acceleration or maturity of the debt and we are currently working with these lenders to extend maturities and to enter into forbearance agreements as we seek to implement our Restructuring Plan.
The indentures pursuant to which the $441.2 million of outstanding Subordinated Debentures were issued include as an event of default the acceleration of any other indebtedness of the Company of a specified amount (ranging from $1.0 million to $10.0 million). Accordingly, as a result of notices of acceleration that we received with respect to $51.4 million of mortgage indebtedness, we are in default with respect to our $441.2 million of Subordinated Debentures.
We sought forbearance agreements from certain of our lenders and lessors with respect to debt service and lease payments due in 2001 and 2002, but did not have written agreements in place with most of our lenders and lessors at the time these payments were due. As we did not make certain loan and lease payments during 2001 and 2002, we are now in default with respect to these obligations. Management believes that, despite the pendency of these defaults, during the near term the majority of these lenders and lessors will continue to participate in restructuring discussions with us. No assurances may be given, however, that this will be the case. As our principal credit, lease and other financing facilities are cross defaulted to a material default occurring under other credit, lease or financing facilities, a payment default under one such facility results in our being in default under many other such facilities, which could adversely affect our ability to restructure without reorganization proceedings.
