EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018 of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership (“Omega OP”). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, (i) references to “Omega” or the “Company” means Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (ii) references to “Parent” refer to Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. without regard to its consolidated subsidiaries, and (iii) references to “Omega OP” means OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.

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

Parent directly owned approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding partnership units in Omega OP (the “Omega OP Units”) at March 31, 2018. Each Omega OP Unit (other than those owned by Parent) is redeemable at the election of the holder for cash equal to the then-fair market value of one share of common stock of Parent, subject to Parent’s election to exchange the Omega OP Units tendered for redemption for common stock of the Parent on a one-for-one basis in an unregistered transaction, subject to adjustment as set forth in the partnership agreement. The management of Parent consists of the same members as the management of Omega OP.

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

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

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

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

· combined reports better reflect how management and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit;

· combined reports enhance investors’ understanding of Omega and Omega OP by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;

· combined reports are more efficient for Omega and Omega OP and result in savings in time, effort and expense; and

· combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

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

OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVESTORS, INC. AND OHI HEALTHCARE PROPERTIES

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unaudited

March 31, 2018

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Overview and Organization

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

The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the United States (“U.S.”) and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and, to a lesser extent, assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), independent living facilities and rehabilitation and acute care facilities. Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. All of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor.

Omega OP is governed by the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Partnership Agreement”). Omega has exclusive control over Omega OP’s day-to-day management pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. As of March 31, 2018, Omega owned approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP (“Omega OP Units”), and investors owned approximately 4% of the outstanding Omega OP Units.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018.

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

Omega OP’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega OP, and (ii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega OP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of liquidity deposits escrowed for tenant obligations required by us pursuant to certain contractual terms and other deposits required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) in connection with our mortgage borrowings guaranteed by HUD.

Real Estate Investment Impairment

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized impairment losses on real estate properties of $4.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively. For additional information see Note 2 – Properties and Investments.

13

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

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

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

Goodwill Impairment

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

Noncontrolling Interests

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

14

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

The noncontrolling interest for Omega represents the outstanding Omega OP Units held by outside investors.

Foreign Operations

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

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

Derivative Instruments

Cash flow hedges

During our normal course of business, we may use certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate and currency risk. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at the inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with the Company’s related assertions. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives required to be bifurcated, as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value which is determined using a market approach and Level 2 inputs. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated in qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in Omega OP’s owners’ equity and Omega’s AOCL as a separate component of equity and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes designating all derivatives that are part of a hedging relationship to specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized liabilities or assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also assess and document, both at inception of the hedging relationship and on a quarterly basis thereafter, whether the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting the designated risks associated with the respective hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively and record the appropriate adjustment to earnings based on the current fair value of the derivative. As a matter of policy, we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. At March 31, 2018, $5.9 million of qualifying cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value in other assets and at December 31, 2017, $1.5 million of qualifying cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

15

Net investment hedge

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

Accounts Receivable

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

On a quarterly basis, we review our accounts receivable to determine their collectability. The determination of collectability of these assets requires significant judgment and is affected by several factors relating to the credit quality of our operators that we regularly monitor, including (i) payment history, (ii) the age of the contractual receivables, (iii) the current economic conditions and reimbursement environment, (iv) the ability of the tenant to perform under the terms of their lease and/or contractual loan agreements and (v) the value of the underlying collateral of the agreement, if any. If we determine collectability of any of our contractual receivables is at risk, we estimate the potential uncollectible amounts and provide an allowance. In the case of a lease recognized on a straight-line basis, a loan recognized on an effective yield basis or the existence of lease inducements, we generally provide an allowance for straight-line, effective interest, and/or lease inducement accounts receivable when certain conditions or indicators of adverse collectability are present. If the accounts receivable balance is subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance are written off.

A summary of our net receivables by type is as follows:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2018			2017
	(in thousands)
Contractual receivables	$	47,888		$	43,258
Effective yield interest receivables		12,028			11,673
Straight-line rent receivables – net		218,965			216,054
Lease inducements		49,295			16,812
Allowance		(8,463	)		(8,463	)
Accounts receivable – net	$	319,713		$	279,334

During the first quarter of 2018, we wrote-off approximately $7.8 million of straight-line rent receivables to provision for uncollectible accounts, as a result of facility transitions to other operators.

During the first quarter of 2018, we paid an existing operator approximately $50 million in exchange for a reduction of such operator’s participation in an in-the-money purchase option. As a result, we recorded an approximate $28 million lease inducement that will be amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining term of the lease. The remaining $22 million was recorded as a reduction to the initial contingent liability which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Reclassification

Certain prior quarter amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current quarter presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2018

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

In August 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities(“ASU 2017-12”). The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align the financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method will require the Company to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2017-12 as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the update. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-12 using the modified retrospective transition method. As a result of adopting the standard, the Company is making certain adjustments to its existing hedge designation documentation for active hedging relationships in order to take advantage of specific provisions in the new guidance and to fully align its documentation with ASU 2017-12. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases(“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. As a result of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company may be required to record real estate tax revenues and an equal and offsetting real estate tax expense, as a result of our operators paying real estate taxes on our behalf. We are continuing to evaluate the other impacts of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

17

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – PROPERTIES AND INVESTMENTS

Leased Property

Our leased real estate properties, represented by 716 SNFs, 118 ALFs, 15 specialty facilities and one medical office building at March 31, 2018, are leased under provisions of single or master operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from five to 15 years, plus renewal options. Also see Note 3 – Direct Financing Leases for information regarding additional properties accounted for as direct financing leases. Substantially all of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of three methods depending on specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (e.g., increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years. Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.

Asset Sales, Impairments and Other

During the first quarter of 2018, we sold 14 facilities (five of which were previously held for sale at December 31, 2017) subject to operating leases for approximately $74.7 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a gain on sale of approximately $17.5 million. In addition, we recorded impairments on real estate properties of approximately $4.9 million on 17 facilities (16 of which were subsequently reclassified to assets held for sale).

Our recorded impairments were primarily the result of decisions to exit certain non-strategic facilities and/or operators. We reduced the net book value of the impaired facilities to their estimated fair values or, with respect to the facilities reclassified to assets held for sale, to their estimated fair values less costs to sell. To estimate the fair value of the facilities, we utilized a market approach and Level 3 inputs (which generally consist of non-binding offers from unrelated third parties). Also see Note 7 – Assets Held For Sale.

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

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

The lease agreements allow the tenant the right to purchase the facilities for a bargain purchase price plus closing costs at the end of the lease term. In addition, commencing in the 41st year of each lease, the tenant will have the right to prepay the remainder of its obligations thereunder for an amount equal to the sum of the unamortized portion of the original aggregate $529 million investment plus the net present value of the remaining payments under the lease and closing costs. In the event the tenant exercises either of these options, we have the right to purchase the properties for fair value at the time.

The 38 facilities remaining under our master leases with Orianna as of March 31, 2018 are located in seven states, predominantly in the southeastern U.S. (37 facilities) and Indiana (1 facility). Our recorded investment in these direct financing leases, net of the $172.2 million allowance, amounted to $337.7 million, as of March 31, 2018. We have not recognized any direct financing lease income from Orianna for the period from July 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.

19

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

In March 2018, Orianna commenced voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As described in Orianna’s filings with the Bankruptcy Court, we have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) that is expected to form the basis for Orianna’s restructuring. The RSA provides for the recommencement, in April 2018, of partial rent payments at $1.0 million per month and establishes a specific timeline for the implementation of Orianna’s planned restructuring. The RSA provides for the transition of 23 facilities to new operators and the potential sale of the remaining 19 facilities subject to the plan of reorganization and its approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

In order to provide liquidity to Orianna during their Chapter 11 proceedings, we have committed up to $30 million in senior secured debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing. The DIP financing has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court on an interim basis and remains subject to final Bankruptcy Court approval. The DIP financing was used to repay in full Orianna’s previous secured working capital lender and to provide Orianna with additional liquidity to fund on-going business operations. See Note 5 – Other Investments.

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

Additionally, we own four facilities and lease them to Orianna under a master lease which expires in 2026. The four facility lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. We have not recognized any income on this operating lease for the period from July 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, as Orianna did not pay the contractual amounts due and collectability is uncertain. Our recorded investment in this operating lease was $37.8 million as of March 31, 2018.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

As of March 31, 2018, mortgage notes receivable relate to 28 fixed rate mortgages on 49 long-term care facilities. The mortgage notes are secured by first mortgage liens on the borrowers' underlying real estate and personal property. The mortgage notes receivable relate to facilities located in nine states that are operated by six independent healthcare operating companies. We monitor compliance with mortgages and when necessary have initiated collection, foreclosure and other proceedings with respect to certain outstanding mortgage notes.

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

The principal amounts outstanding of mortgage notes receivable, net of allowances, were as follows:

	March 31,			December 31,

⁽²⁾ The allowance for loss on mortgage notes receivable relates to one mortgage with an operator. The carrying value and fair value of the mortgage note receivable is approximately $1.5 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Mortgage notes paid off

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

Other investment notes due 2018 and 2022

In March 2018, we agreed to provide senior secured superpriority DIP financing to Orianna consisting of a $14.2 million term loan and a $15.8 million revolving credit facility. The DIP financing has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court on an interim basis and remains subject to final Bankruptcy Court approval. The DIP financing is secured by a security interest in and liens on substantially all of Orianna’s existing and future real and personal property. The $14.2 million term loan bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 5.5% per annum and matures on September 30, 2018. Orianna has borrowed the full amount of the term loan to repay their previous secured working capital lender. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $14.2 million is outstanding on this term loan. The $15.8 million revolving credit facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 9.0% per annum and matures on September 30, 2018. The borrowings under the revolving credit facility are to be used for general business expenses and other uses permitted under the loan documents. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $10.3 million is outstanding on this revolving credit facility.

21

In May 2017, we provided Orianna an $18.8 million maximum borrowing secured revolving working capital loan that bears interest at 9% per annum (with one-half (1/2) of all accrued interest to be paid-in-kind and added to the loan balance) and matures on April 30, 2022. This revolving working capital loan has a default rate of 5% per annum. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $15.2 million is outstanding on this revolving working capital loan. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court’s interim order approving the DIP financing, Orianna is obligated to pay one-half (1/2) of all accrued post-bankruptcy interest payable on this revolving working capital loan at the default rate. As of March 31, 2018, our total other investments outstanding with Orianna approximate $39.7 million.

Other investment notes due 2020

On July 29, 2016, we provided Genesis HealthCare, Inc. (“Genesis”) a $48.0 million secured term loan bearing interest at LIBOR with a floor of 1% plus 13% maturing on July 29, 2020. The $48.0 million term loan (including the $16.0 million term loan discussed below) is secured by a perfected first priority lien on and security interest in the collateral of Genesis. The term loan required monthly principal payments of $0.25 million through July 2019, and $0.5 million from August 2019 through maturity. In addition, a portion of the monthly interest accrued to the outstanding principal balance of the loan. In November 2017, we provided Genesis forbearance through February 2018. The forbearance allowed for the deferral of principal payments and permitted Genesis to accrue all interest due to the outstanding principal balance of the loan.

On March 6, 2018, we amended certain terms of the $48.0 million secured term loan. As of February 22, 2018, the $48.0 million term loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 14% per annum, of which 9% per annum will be paid-in-kind. Additionally, the amended term loan does not require monthly payments of principal. All principal and accrued and unpaid interest will be due at maturity on July 29, 2020.

Also on March 6, 2018, we provided Genesis an additional $16.0 million secured term loan bearing interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum, of which 5% per annum will be paid-in-kind and matures on July 29, 2020. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $16.0 million is outstanding on this term loan.

In connection with the Genesis master lease and term loan amendments referenced above, in December 2017 and March 2018, we received warrants to purchase a total of 1.5 million shares of Genesis common stock.

Other investments note due 2020

On December 28, 2017, we provided $10.0 million of financing to a third-party to acquire ten SNFs previously owned by us. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and requires principal payments of $5.0 million in December 2018, $2.0 million in December 2019 and $3.0 million at maturity in December 2020. In March 2018, the third-party buyer repaid $5.0 million related to this financing.

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE

On November 1, 2016, we invested approximately $50.0 million for an approximate 15% ownership interest in a joint venture operating as Second Spring Healthcare Investments. The other approximate 85% interest is owned by affiliates of Lindsey Goldberg LLC. We account for the joint venture using the equity method. On November 1, 2016, the joint venture acquired 64 SNFs for approximately $1.1 billion and leased them to Genesis.

We receive asset management fees from the joint venture for services provided. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $0.5 million of asset management fees in each period. These fees are included in miscellaneous income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The accounting policies for the unconsolidated joint venture are the same as those of the Company.

NOTE 11 – TAXES

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

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

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

25

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We have elected for two of our active subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. One of our TRSs is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the other is subject to foreign income taxes. As of March 31, 2018, our TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5.8 million. The loss carry-forward is fully reserved as of March 31, 2018, with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization. Our net operating loss carryforwards will be carried forward for no more than 20 years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded approximately $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of tax provision for foreign income taxes. The expenses were included in income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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

NOTE 12 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation expense was $4.1 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively:

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are subject to forfeiture if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of service or a change in control of the Company. Prior to vesting, ownership of the shares/units cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same dividend and voting rights as our common stock. RSUs accrue dividend equivalents but have no voting rights. Restricted stock and RSUs are valued at the price of our common stock on the date of grant. We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their vesting period. We awarded 169,900 RSUs to employees on January 1, 2018.

Performance Restricted Stock Units and LTIP Units

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

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

The number of shares or units earned under the TSR PRSUs or LTIP Units depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR over the indicated performance period. We awarded 677,488 LTIP Units to employees on January 1, 2018.

The number of shares earned under the Relative TSR PRSUs depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the MSCI U.S. REIT Index or FTSE NAREIT Equity Health Care Index TSR over the performance period indicated. We awarded 334,544 Relative TSR PRSUs to employees on January 1, 2018.

⁽¹⁾ These amounts represent borrowings that were incurred by Omega OP or wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega OP.

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

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

· Direct financing leases: The fair value of the investments in direct financing leases are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar leases to borrowers with similar credit ratings (Level 3). In addition, the Company may estimate the fair value of its investment based on the estimated fair value of the collateral using a market approach or an income approach which considers inputs such as, current and projected operating performance of the facilities, projected rent, prevailing capitalization rates and/or coverages and bed values (Level 3).

30

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

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

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

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

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

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

On November 16, 2017, a purported securities class action complaint captioned Dror Gronich v. Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc., C. Taylor Pickett, Robert O. Stephenson, and Daniel J. Booth was filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 1:17-cv-08983-NRB (the “Gronich Securities Class Action”). On November 17, 2017, a second purported securities class action complaint captioned Steve Klein v. Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc., C. Taylor Pickett, Robert O. Stephenson, and Daniel J. Booth was filed against the Company and the same officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 1:17-cv-09024-NRB (together with the Gronich Class Action, the “Securities Class Action”). Both lawsuits purport to be class actions brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired the Company’s securities between February 8, 2017 and October 31, 2017. The Securities Class Action alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by making materially false and/or misleading statements, and by failing to disclose material adverse facts, about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, including regarding the financial and operating results of certain of the Company’s operators, the ability of certain operators to make timely rent payments, and the impairment of certain of the Company’s leases and the uncollectibility of certain receivables. The Securities Class Action, which purports to assert claims for violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, interest, fees and expenses of attorneys and experts, and other relief.

On January 16, 2018, four plaintiffs and one group of plaintiffs acting jointly filed motions for consolidation of the lawsuits in the Securities Class Action, appointment of counsel, and appointment of lead plaintiff. They are: (i) The Hannah Rosa Trust; (ii) Patricia Zaborowski, Hong Jun, Cynthia Peterson, Simona Vacchieri, and Glenn Fausz (self-defined as the “Omega Investor Group”); (iii) Royce Setzer; (iv) Carpenters Pension Fund of Illinois; and (v) Glenn Fausz. The Omega Investor Group and The Hannah Rosa Trust thereafter withdrew their applications. The Court has designated Royce Setzer as the lead plaintiff and entered a scheduling order under which he must file an amended consolidated complaint by May 25, 2018. Briefing on a motion to dismiss that complaint is to be completed by September 14, 2018.

31

Although the Company denies the material allegations of the Securities Class Action and intends to vigorously pursue its defense, we are in the very early stages of this litigation and are unable to predict the outcome of the case or to estimate the amount of potential costs.

The Company’s Board of Directors received a demand letter, dated April 9, 2018, from an attorney for a purported current shareholder of the Company relating to the subject matter covered by the Securities Class Action (the “Shareholder Demand”). The letter demanded that the Board of Directors conduct an investigation into the statements and other matters at issue in the Securities Class Action and commence legal proceedings against each party identified as being responsible for the alleged activities. The Board of Directors is reviewing the Shareholder Demand to determine the appropriate course of action.

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

Commitments

We have committed to fund the construction of new leased and mortgaged facilities and other capital improvements. We expect the funding of these commitments to be completed over the next several years. Our remaining commitments at March 31, 2018, are outlined in the table below (in thousands):

NOTE 16 – EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT

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

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share/unit:

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During the second quarter of 2018, we sold 20 facilities, including 17 facilities classified as assets held for sale as of March 31, 2018, for net proceeds of approximately $79 million.  We expect to record a gain on the sale of these facilities of approximately $5 million in the second quarter.

In April 2018, the pending sale to an unrelated third-party of five facilities that are classified as assets held for sale as of March 31, 2018 was terminated. These facilities were previously impaired based on the then pending transaction price. The carrying value of these facilities was approximately $15 million as of March 31, 2018. Subsequently, we agreed to sell these five facilities together with two additional facilities with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $46 million to the existing operator for approximately $29 million. Also in April 2018, we engaged in discussions with an existing operator to sell five facilities with a carrying value of approximately $25 million to the operator for approximately $22 million. With respect to the sale of these 12 facilities, we expect to recognize an impairment charge/loss on sale in the second quarter of approximately $20 million.

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

· defer up to $6.3 million of rent per annum for 3 years commencing May 1, 2018;

· provide capital expenditure funds to be used for the general maintenance and capital improvements of our 59 facilities in the amount of approximately $4.5 million per year for 3 years;

· extend a 7-year working capital term loan at 7% for an amount up to $25 million with a maturity date of April 30, 2025;

· extend the term of the master lease by two years to December 31, 2030 and;

· extend the maturity date of the existing term loan by two years to December 31, 2024.

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

Lastly, Agemo has represented to Omega that a formal settlement with certain federal and state agencies in connection with a civil investigation beginning in 2015 regarding therapy and other documentary practices against, among others, Agemo’s predecessor is imminent.

(xvi) our ability to maintain our status as a REIT.

Overview

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

35

The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the United States (“U.S.”) and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on SNFs and, to a lesser extent, ALFs, independent living facilities and rehabilitation and acute care facilities. Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements. All of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor.

Omega OP is governed by the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Partnership Agreement”). Omega has exclusive control over Omega OP’s day-to-day management pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. As of March 31, 2018, Omega owned approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP (“Omega OP Units”), and investors owned approximately 4% of the Omega OP Units.

Our portfolio of real estate investments at March 31, 2018, consisted of 973 healthcare facilities, located in 41 states and the U.K. and operated by 70 third-party operators. Our investment in these facilities, net of impairments and allowances, totaled approximately $8.8 billion at March 31, 2018, with approximately 99% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities. Our portfolio is made up of: (i) 756 SNFs, (ii) 119 ALFs, (iii) 15 specialty facilities, (iv) one medical office building, (v) fixed rate mortgages on 47 SNFs and two ALFs and (vi) 33 facilities that are held for sale. At March 31, 2018, we also held other investments of approximately $322.2 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities and a $34.7 million investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We have elected for two of our active subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. One of our TRSs is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the other is subject to foreign income taxes. As of March 31, 2018, our TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5.8 million. The loss carry-forward is fully reserved as of March 31, 2018, with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization. Our net operating loss carryforwards will be carried forward for no more than 20 years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded approximately $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of state and local income tax provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of tax provision for foreign income taxes. The expenses were included in income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Government Regulation and Reimbursement

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

37

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

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

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

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

38

The Healthcare Reform Law provided for Medicaid coverage to be expanded to all individuals under age 65 with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level, beginning January 1, 2014. While the federal government committed to paying the entire cost for Medicaid coverage for newly eligible beneficiaries from 2014 through 2016, the federal share declines to 95% in 2017, 94% in 2018, 93% in 2019, and 90% in 2020 and subsequent years. Although the Supreme Court ruled on June 28, 2012 that states could not be required to expand Medicaid or risk losing federal funding of their existing Medicaid programs, as of April 9, 2018, thirty-two (32) states and the District of Columbia have expanded Medicaid eligibility with additional states continuing to consider expansion.

Medicare. On July 31, 2017, CMS issued a final rule regarding the fiscal year (“FY”) 2018 Medicare payment rates and quality payment programs for SNFs, which continues the trend of shifting Medicare payments from volume to value. Proposed aggregate payments to SNFs effective October 1, 2017 for FY 2018 are expected to increase by $370 million, or 1.0%, over FY 2017 payments. This reimbursement increase is attributable to a 1.0% market basket increase as required under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (“MACRA”) after application of the productivity adjustment. Additionally, as mandated by the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (“IMPACT Act”), the annual update is reduced by 2 percentage points for SNFs that fail to submit required quality data to CMS under the SNF Quality Reporting Program (“QRP”), beginning with FY 2018. The application of this penalty to those SNFs that do not meet the requirements for the FY 2018 SNF QRP would produce a market basket index percentage change that is less than zero and would also result in FY 2018 payment rates that are less than such payment rates for the preceding fiscal year. Similarly, a value-based purchasing program under the 2014 Protecting Access to Medicare Act (“PAMA”) legislation discounts SNF Medicare Fee-for-Service (“FFS”) payments by 2% commencing on October 1, 2018 (FY 2019), with reimbursement of those discounts to SNF based on comparative rehospitalization metrics. Beginning on October 1, 2018, the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018” froze the market basket update at 2.4% prior to application of any penalty adjustment for failure to meet the requirements of the SNF QRP. This freeze could reduce Medicare reimbursements to SNFs which could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ financial condition and operations, adversely impacting their ability to meet their obligations to us.

On April 27, 2018, CMS issued a proposed rule to replace the SNF PPS RUG-IV case-mix classification methodology with a new value-based Patient Driven Payment Model (“PDPM”). Under the PDPM, payments would be based on a resident’s objective classification group, and payment would be calculated by multiplying the case-mix index for the resident’s classification group to create a resident’s total per diem rate. The new payment system, if adopted as proposed, would go into effect on October 1, 2019. Comments on the proposed rule are being accepted through June 26, 2018.

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

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

39

As indicated above, reimbursement methodology reforms, such as value-based purchasing, continue to be prevalent and attempt to hold providers accountable for the cost and quality of care provided by redistributing a portion of a provider or facility’s reimbursement based on the relative performance on designated economic, clinical quality, and patient satisfaction metrics. While reimbursement methodologies and similar programs are expected to expand, both in public and commercial health plans, CMS announced in February 2018 that it was no longer operating on the Obama administration’s accelerated goal to tie half of all Medicare payments to alternative payment methods by the end of 2018. Currently, the Trump administration is evaluating the impact of various payment models, but it is unclear how it intends to address Medicare payment methodologies and the anticipated timeline for doing so.

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

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

In August 2016, CMS announced a modification to the Five Star Quality Rating System through the introduction of new quality measures based primarily on Medicare claims data submitted by hospitals, including: (1) percentage of short-stay residents who were successfully discharged to the community; (2) percentage of short-stay residents who have had an outpatient emergency department visit; (3) percentage of short-stay residents who were re-hospitalized after a nursing home admission; (4) percentage of short-stay residents who made improvements in function; and (5) percentage of long-stay residents whose ability to move independently worsened. These ratings were incorporated into the nursing home rating system in July 2016 and were phased in through January 2017. It is possible that this or any other ranking system could lead to future reimbursement policies that reward or penalize facilities on the basis of the reported quality of care parameters.

Office of the Inspector General Activities. Beginning June 15, 2017, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) began updating its Work Plan website monthly in order to enhance transparency around the OIG’s continuous work planning efforts. The OIG reported in its January 2018 update that it would review the quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries, including elders and disabled persons, who are being treated at inpatient and outpatient medical facilities for conditions that may be the result of abuse or neglect. The OIG referenced prior reviews which indicated problems with the quality of care and the reporting and investigation of potential abuse or neglect at group homes, nursing homes, and skilled nursing facilities.

40

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

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

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

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

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

41

Several of our operators have responded to subpoenas and other requests for information regarding their operations in connection with inquiries by the U.S. Department of Justice or other regulatory agencies.

Privacy. Our operators are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the confidentiality and security of patient health information, including the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), and the corresponding regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively referred to herein as “HIPAA”). The HITECH Act expanded the scope of these provisions by mandating individual notification in instances of breaches of protected health information, providing enhanced penalties for HIPAA violations, and granting enforcement authority to states’ Attorneys General in addition to the HHS Office for Civil Rights. HHS continued its auditing program in 2016 to assess compliance efforts by covered entities and business associates. Through a second phase of audits, which commenced for covered entities in July 2016, HHS focused on a review of policies and procedures adopted and employed by covered entities and their business associates to meet selected standards and implementation specifications of the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. Covered entities and business associates selected for a desk audit have the potential to be selected for an on-site audit. The HHS Office for Civil Rights reported that as of September 2017, desk audits of covered entities were completed and desk audits of business associates were ongoing.

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

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

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

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

42

General and Professional Liability.Although arbitration agreements have been effective in limiting general and professional liabilities for SNF and long term care providers, there have been numerous lawsuits challenging the validity of arbitration agreements in long term care settings. As set forth in the recent conditions of participation final rule issued on October 4, 2016, CMS prohibited pre-dispute arbitration agreements between SNFs and residents effective November 28, 2016, thereby increasing potential liabilities for SNFs and long-term care providers. Subsequently, the authority of CMS to restrict the rights of these parties to arbitrate was challenged by litigation in various jurisdictions, and enforcement by CMS was suspended on November 7, 2016 following the issuance of a preliminary injunction by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. In a reversal from its previous position, CMS issued a proposed rule on June 5, 2017, that lifts CMS’ ban on pre-dispute arbitration agreements in the long-term care setting. The proposed rule continues to face challenges by certain industry groups.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2017. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2018

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

43

In August 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities(“ASU 2017-12”). The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align the financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method will require the Company to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2017-12 as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the update. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-12 using the modified retrospective transition method. As a result of adopting the standard, the Company is making certain adjustments to its existing hedge designation documentation for active hedging relationships in order to take advantage of specific provisions in the new guidance and to fully align its documentation with ASU 2017-12. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases(“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. As a result of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company may be required to record real estate tax revenues and an equal and offsetting real estate tax expense, as a result of our operators paying real estate taxes on our behalf. We are continuing to evaluate the other impacts of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

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

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $220.2 million, a decrease of $11.5 million over the same period in 2017. The $11.5 million decrease was primarily the result of a $15.0 million decrease in the direct financing lease income related to one of our operators. We have not recognized any revenue related to New Ark Investment Inc. (“New Ark” which does business as “Orianna Health Systems” and is herein referred to as “Orianna”) for the period from July 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, as a result of Orianna not paying rent under their existing leases. The decrease was offset by: (i) a $1.4 million increase in rental income related to acquisitions and lease amendments made throughout 2017 and 2018 and (ii) a $1.6 million increase in other investment income primarily related to new notes and additional funding to existing operators made throughout 2017 and 2018.

44

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018, totaled $99.6 million, an increase of approximately $7.0 million over the same period in 2017. The $7.0 million increase was primarily due to: (i) $5.4 million increase in provisions for uncollectible accounts related to the write-off of straight-line receivables resulting from facility transitions during the first quarter of 2018 and (ii) $4.0 million increase in general and administration expense resulted from a $2.0 million buyout of an in-the-money purchase option to an unrelated third-party and higher professional service fees. The increases were partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in impairment on real estate properties.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, total other expenses were $49.6 million, an increase of approximately $12.5 million over the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily related to a $3.0 million increase in interest expense related to higher debt balances outstanding to fund new investments and higher blended borrowing costs, and a $10.4 million favorable contractual settlement with an unrelated third-party related to a contingent liability obligation that originated in 2012 and was resolved in the first quarter of 2017.

National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts Funds From Operations

Our funds from operations (“NAREIT FFO”) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $148.0 million compared to $181.0 million for the same period in 2017.

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

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

(1) Omega recorded a non-cash deferred tax liability of approximately $0.4 million in connection with the acquisition.

(2) Omega recorded a non-cash deferred tax liability of approximately $0.2 million in connection with the acquisition.

(3) The cash yield is based on the purchase price.

During the first quarter of 2018, we acquired one parcel of land (not reflected in the table above) for approximately $0.7 million with the intent of building a new facility for an existing operator.

Asset Sales, Impairments, Accounts Receivable and Other

During the first quarter of 2018, we sold 14 facilities (five of which were previously held for sale at December 31, 2017) subject to operating leases for approximately $74.7 million in net cash proceeds recognizing a gain on sale of approximately $17.5 million. In addition, we recorded impairments on real estate properties of approximately $4.9 million on 17 facilities (16 of which were subsequently reclassified to assets held for sale).

Our recorded impairments were primarily the result of decisions to exit certain non-strategic facilities and/or operators. We reduced the net book value of the impaired facilities to their estimated fair values or, with respect to the facilities reclassified to assets held for sale, to their estimated fair values less costs to sell. To estimate the fair value of the facilities, we utilized a market approach and Level 3 inputs (which generally consist of non-binding offers from unrelated third parties).

As of March 31, 2018, 33 facilities, totaling $143.4 million are classified as assets held for sale. We expect to sell these facilities over the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2018, we have approximately $39.4 million of contractual receivables outstanding – net of allowances. Of the $39.4 million of contractual receivables outstanding – net of allowances approximately $28.3 million relates to Orianna, Signature Healthcare and Daybreak Venture (“Daybreak”). Orianna and Daybreak are on a cash basis of accounting for purposes of revenue recognition, see additional discussion below. In addition to the contractual receivables, we have approximately $33.9 million of straight-line rent receivables and/or lease inducements associated with these operators as of March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded approximately $19.4 million of rental income, $1.2 million of other investment income and no income from direct financing leases for these operators.

46

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

In March 2018, Orianna commenced voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As described in Orianna’s filings with the Bankruptcy Court, we have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) that is expected to form the basis for Orianna’s restructuring. The RSA provides for the recommencement of partial rent payments at $1.0 million per month and establishes a specific timeline for the implementation of Orianna’s planned restructuring. The RSA provides for the transition of 23 facilities to new operators and the potential sale of the remaining 19 facilities subject to the plan of reorganization and its approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Also in March 2018, in order to provide liquidity to Orianna during their Chapter 11 proceedings, we committed to provide up to $30 million in senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing. The DIP financing has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court on an interim basis and remains subject to final Bankruptcy Court approval. The DIP financing is secured by a security interest in and liens on substantially all of Orianna’s existing and future real and personal property. The $14.2 million term loan bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 5.5% per annum and matures on September 30, 2018. Orianna has borrowed the full amount of the term loan to repay their previous secured working capital lender. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $14.2 million is outstanding on this term loan. The $15.8 million revolving credit facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 9.0% per annum and matures on September 30, 2018. The borrowings under the revolving credit facility are to be used for general business expenses and other uses permitted under the loan documents. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $10.3 million is outstanding on this revolving credit facility.

In May 2017, we provided Orianna an $18.8 million maximum borrowing secured revolving working capital loan that bears interest at 9% per annum (with one-half (1/2) of all accrued interest to be paid-in-kind and added to the loan balance) and matures on April 30, 2022. This revolving working capital loan has a default rate of 5% per annum. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $15.2 million is outstanding on this revolving working capital loan. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court’s interim order approving the DIP financing, Orianna is obligated to pay one-half (1/2) of all accrued post-bankruptcy interest payable on this revolving working capital loan at the default rate. As of March 31, 2018, our total other investments outstanding with Orianna approximate $39.7 million.

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

The 38 facilities remaining under our master leases with Orianna as of March 31, 2018 are located in seven states, predominantly in the southeastern U.S. (37 facilities) and Indiana (1 facility). Our recorded investment in these direct financing leases, net of the $172.2 million allowance, amounted to $337.7 million as of March 31, 2018. We have not recognized any direct financing lease income from Orianna for the period from July 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2018, Signature Healthcare is more than 90 days past due on rent, we believe primarily as a result of restrictions on their borrowing capacity and significant professional and general liability claims. A large majority of Signature Healthcare’s past due rent is covered by a letter of credit in excess of $9.0 million and personal guarantees from the principals of Signature Healthcare. On May 7, 2018, Omega and Signature Healthcare entered into a consensual out-of-court restructuring agreement. The restructuring involves multiple third-party constituents, including other third-party landlords, a new working capital lender, medical malpractice claimants, and other third-party interests. As part of the restructuring, Signature Healthcare was reorganized to separate each of its primary portfolios with its major landlords into three distinct lease silos and separate virtually all other legal obligations. As part of this restructuring, Signature Healthcare formed Agemo to be the holding company of the lessees of the Omega portfolio, and for which Omega agreed to:

· defer up to $6.3 million of rent per annum for 3 years commencing May 1, 2018;

· provide capital expenditure funds to be used for the general maintenance and capital improvements of our 59 facilities in the amount of approximately $4.5 million per year for 3 years;

· extend a 7-year working capital term loan at 7% for an amount up to $25 million with a maturity date of April 30, 2025;

· extend the term of the master lease by two years to December 31, 2030 and;

· extend the maturity date of the existing term loan by two years to December 31, 2024.

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

47

Lastly, Agemo has represented to Omega that a formal settlement with certain federal and state agencies in connection with a civil investigation beginning in 2015 regarding therapy and other documentary practices against, among others, Agemo’s predecessor, is imminent.

During the third quarter of 2017, we placed Daybreak on a cash basis for revenue recognition as a result of nonpayment. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we executed a Settlement and Forbearance Agreement with Daybreak which permitted Daybreak to defer payments up to 23% of their contractual rent for the remainder of 2017, subject to certain conditions. During the first quarter of 2018, rent returned to the full contractual amount and we expect that past due rent will begin to be repaid in the latter part of 2018.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2018, we had total assets of $8.8 billion, total equity of $3.9 billion and debt of $4.6 billion, representing approximately 54.5% of total capitalization.

Financing Activities and Borrowing Arrangements

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

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, approximately 0.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $25.87 per share were issued through our Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan for gross proceeds of approximately $4.9 million.

Dividends

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we paid dividends of approximately $131.4 million to our common stockholders.The Omega OP Unit holders received the same distributions per unit as those paid to the common stockholders of Omega.

Liquidity

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

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

· normal recurring expenses;

· debt service payments;

· capital improvement programs;

· common stock dividends; and

· growth through acquisitions of additional properties.

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

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $79.1 million as of March 31, 2018, a decrease of $17.7 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2017. The following is a discussion of changes in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities – Operating activities generated $52.9 million of net cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $112.5 million for the same period in 2017, a decrease of $59.6 million which is primarily due to an increase in contractual receivables from three operators, the timing of interest payments and cash payments for lease inducements of which we paid one operator approximately $28.4 million during the first quarter of 2018.

Investing Activities – Net cash flow from investing activities was an outflow of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to an inflow of $16.4 million for the same period in 2017. The $17.8 million change in cash flow from investing activities related primarily to (i) a $37.1 million increase from other investments – net primarily related to funding more other investments in 2018, (ii) a $22.1 million increase in real estate acquisitions, (iii) a $6.2 million increase in investments in construction in progress in 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017 and (iv) a $1.4 million increase in capital improvements to real estate investments. Offsetting these changes were: (i) a $28.9 million increase in proceeds from sale of real estate investments, (ii) a $24.5 million increase in collection of mortgages primarily related to the repayment of certain mortgages in 2018, (iii) a decrease of $6.7 million in distributions from our unconsolidated joint venture in 2018 and (iv) a $1.1 million increase in receipts from insurance proceeds.

Financing Activities – Net cash flow from financing activities was an outflow of $69.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to an outflow of $183.8 million for the same period in 2017. The $114.3 million change in cash from financing activities was primarily related to a net $132.0 million increase in cash provided by our credit facility, offset by (i) a $9.2 million increase in dividends paid, (ii) a $6.8 million decrease in cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock in 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017 and (iii) a $2.4 million decrease in net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan in 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, there were no material changes in our primary market risk exposures or how those exposures are managed from the information disclosed under Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

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

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures of Omega and Omega OP (for purposes of this Item 4, the “Companies”) as of March 31, 2018. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures of the Companies were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2018.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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