Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members
of Senior Living Communities, LLC and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Senior Living Communities, LLC (a North Carolina limited liability company) and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Senior Living Communities, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations, their changes in members’ equity, and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Senior Living Communities, LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activity - Senior Living Communities, LLC was organized November 1, 2005 for the purpose of developing and operating retirement communities located in the United States. It operates as a limited liability company (LLC) in accordance with and pursuant to the North Carolina Limited Liability Company Act, and its members have limited personal liability for the obligations or debts of the entity. Only one class of member’s interest exists.
Consolidated Financial Statements - These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Senior Living Communities, LLC and its subsidiaries - BrightWater Retirement, LLC; Cascades Retirement, LLC; Cascades Nursing, LLC; Homestead Hill Retirement, LP; Evergreen Woods Retirement, LLC; Litchfield Retirement, LLC; Marsh’s Edge, LLC; Osprey Village at Amelia Island, Ltd.; Ridgecrest Retirement, LLC and Summit Hills, LLC. All material intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications - Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements may have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements.
Limited Liability Company / Income Taxes - The Company has elected to file its income tax return on the accrual basis as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As a result, the Company’s taxable earnings or losses are passed through to the Company’s members who are then taxed based on their allocable share of such taxable earnings or losses. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for federal or state income taxes has been reported by the Company.
The Company was recently notified by the Internal Revenue Service that it intends to examine the Company’s 2014 U. S. income tax return. Any tax adjustments resulting from the IRS’s examination would be passed through to the individual members. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for 2013 and prior years.
As a limited liability company, each member’s liability is limited to amounts reflected in their respective member capital accounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid unrestricted investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company had no cash equivalents during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Senior Living Communities, LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 2016 and 2015
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, management evaluates accounts receivable balances and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on history of past write-offs and collections. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $401,525 and $328,588 respectively.
Accounts receivable includes amounts due from third-party payors. Billings for services under third-party payor programs are recorded at amounts expected to be collected. Subsequent positive or negative adjustments are recorded when known. Contractual or cost related adjustments from Medicare are accrued when assessed. Amounts due from third-party payors at December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $1,915,806, and $1,878,319, respectively.
Inventory - Inventories are stated at cost determined principally on the first-in, first-out basis.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized while replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the assets, are expensed currently. When assets are sold or retired, their cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Commissions - The Company pays commissions on all occupancy fee agreements. The Company expenses these costs in accordance with ASC 954 - Health Care Entities as all the communities are substantially constructed and occupied.
Advertising - Senior Living Communities, LLC and its subsidiaries expense advertising costs when the advertising first takes place. Consolidated advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $699,090, $544,924 and $552,772, respectively.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Master Lease Agreements - Through December 17, 2014, Senior Living Communities, LLC had a master lease agreement with Health Care REIT, Inc. (HCN) for the lease of each community. The master lease had an initial lease term which was set to expire on December 31, 2025, and an option to renew for an additional fifteen (15) years. Senior Living Communities, LLC entered into sub-lease agreements with its subsidiaries under the same lease terms it had with Health Care REIT, Inc.
On December 17, 2014, National Health Investors, Inc. (NHI) acquired substantially all of the tangible property of Senior Living Communities, LLC and that which the Company leased from Health Care REIT, Inc. The Company entered into a master lease agreement with National Health Investors, Inc. This master lease has an initial lease term that is set to expire on December 31, 2029, and has two options to extend the lease for an additional five years with each extension. On November 8, 2016, Senior Living Communities, LLC entered into a lease agreement with NHI-REIT of Evergreen, LLC for an additional community. This new lease has an initial lease term that is also set to expire on December 31, 2029, and has two options to extend the lease for an additional five years with each extension. Senior Living Communities, LLC entered into sub-lease agreements with its subsidiaries under the same lease terms it has with National Health Investors, Inc.
Straight-Line Rent Payable - NHI - Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. The difference between rent expense recognized and rental payments, as stipulated in the lease, is reflected as straight-line rent payable - NHI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation framework and hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. That framework prioritizes the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are described as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Cash, restricted cash, and occupancy fee deposits in escrow are carried at amounts considered by management to approximate fair value based on Level 1 valuation.

NOTE D - CONCENTRATIONS
Senior Living Communities, LLC and its subsidiaries maintain their cash balances at one bank under a sweep investment arrangement. The operating accounts of Senior Living Communities, LLC and each of its participating subsidiaries are zero balance accounts. The daily ending balance of each account is cleared by a sweep transfer to a master account held by Senior Living Communities, LLC. Funds held in the master account are owned by the respective entities, and Senior Living Communities, LLC is the custodian. When funds are required in the operating accounts to clear checks and other disbursements, the necessary amounts are automatically transferred from the master account back to the operating accounts.
Deposit insurance through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is a function of ownership of the funds on deposit. Each entity participating in the master account is entitled to its own separate deposit insurance up to $250,000. Amounts on deposit with other banks are also insured through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times the balances may exceed the insured amounts. The Company periodically reviews the financial condition of the institutions and believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

NOTE G - LINE OF CREDIT FROM NHI
National Health Investors, Inc. has provided a line of credit to Senior Living Communities, LLC to be used for various construction projects and to provide working capital as necessary.

Commencing on February 1, 2015 and continuing on the first business day of each successive month thereafter, the Company shall pay to the landlord, (a) accrued interest at the Note Rate based upon the principal outstanding during the Interest Accrual Period, and (b) any other amounts due under the Loan Documents. The Company shall have the option of capitalizing the interest hereunder by adding it to the principal balance each month and paying it on the Maturity Date. Principal payments under a Working Capital Loan shall be due on the first day of the month following receipt by the landlord of the Company’s consolidated quarterly financial statements, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve month period of operation ending on the last day of such quarter is at least 1.00 to 1.00, in an amount equal to 75% of the amount by which the numerator of such ratio exceeds the denominator of such ratio. In addition, a principal payment of $10,000,000 shall be due and payable on December 31, 2019 and after that date the maximum principal amount of the Loan and any further draws shall be limited to the remaining $5,000,000 of the loan and may be used only for working capital or as otherwise approved by the landlord.

NOTE I - REFUNDABLE OCCUPANCY FEES
Senior Living Communities, LLC and its subsidiaries recognize a long-term liability for the refundable portions of occupancy fees received from residents. Under the terms of the occupancy agreements and the master lease with the landlord, the refunds are to be made from occupancy fees collected from replacement residents.
The Company offers three forms of Occupancy Agreement: The “90% Minimum Refund Plan,” the “60% Minimum Refund Plan,” and the “Endowment Plan.” In the past, the Company also offered a “100% Minimum Refund Plan” which has been discontinued. The “100% Minimum Refund Plan” and the “90% Minimum Refund Plan” Occupancy Agreements provide for repayment to the resident 100% or 90% of the original occupancy fee paid by the resident, respectively, regardless of when the resident subsequently moves out of the home. The “60% Minimum Refund Plan” Occupancy Agreements provide for repayment to the resident 90%, 80%, or 70% of the original occupancy fee paid by the resident if the resident moves out of the home in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd year, respectively, after becoming a resident. In the 4th year or thereafter, the resident is entitled to a 60% refund of the occupancy fee paid. The “Endowment Plan” Occupancy Agreements provide for repayment to the resident of 90% of the original occupancy fee paid by the resident if the resident moves out of the home within the first six months of becoming a resident. After six months, the refundable portion is reduced each month by 2% of the total occupancy fee paid by the resident until the refundable portion is reduced to zero.
For all plan types, the refund is payable upon the earlier of securing a substitute resident who pays to the Company the then applicable occupancy fee or five years from the date the resident moves out.
Most of the residents of the community operated by Evergreen Woods Retirement, LLC were residents prior to the acquisition by Senior Living Communities, LLC on November 8, 2016. Occupancy agreements with these residents are either a “Traditional Plan” or a “Tailored Plan” agreement. The “Traditional Plan” agreements provide for a refund of 70% of the occupancy fee paid by the resident, regardless of when the resident moves out. The “Tailored Plan” agreements provide for a repayment to the resident of 90% less 2% per month for each calendar month or fraction of a month from the date the resident paid the occupancy fee until the resident moves out. After forty-five months the refundable portion is reduced to zero. The refund obligation is usually due thirty days after a substitute resident has paid the Company the applicable occupancy fee. However, some of these occupancy agreements provide for the refund to be paid one year, eighteen months, or three years after the resident has moved out, even if the unit has not been reoccupied.

December 31, 2016 and 2015
NOTE I - REFUNDABLE OCCUPANCY FEES (Continued)
Some of the residents of the community operated by Cascades Retirement, LLC were residents prior to the acquisition by Senior Living Communities, LLC in 2010. The occupancy agreements with these residents provide for a refund of 90% of the occupancy fee received from the substitute resident.
Certain refund obligations are secured by mortgages from the landlord.
NOTE J - DEFERRED REVENUES
A portion of the occupancy fee received from residents represents payment for future services and therefore is non-refundable. The non-refundable portion is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as earned revenue over a period of five years from the resident’s move-in date, which approximates the average residency of the communities’ residents in independent living. Periodically, the Company re-evaluates the appropriate revenue recognition period for income earned from these contracts. Total deferred revenue to be recognized under existing occupancy fee contracts as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 is $13,715,514 and $11,856,157, respectively. The amount scheduled to be recognized in 2016 is $8,670,388.
NOTE K - GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS
On December 17, 2014, the Company and Health Care REIT, Inc. sold the assets located at the eight communities operated by the subsidiaries of Senior Living Communities, LLC to National Health Investors, Inc. Senior Living Communities, LLC received $73,287,138 in cash and other consideration from the sale of assets having a net book value of $14,304,735, and wrote off other costs previously capitalized of $1,205,294.
Non-cash consideration received from the sale of property to National Health Investors, Inc. included the relief from liability for construction advances and other loans made by Health Care REIT, Inc., to Senior Living Communities, LLC totaling $39,735,564. It also included $10,000,000 retained by National Health Investors, Inc. as a security deposit to be held in an escrow account with interest to accrue to the benefit of Senior Living Communities, LLC. The security deposit and any accrued interest thereon are not accessible to Senior Living Communities, LLC until the expiration or termination of the lease.
