•	the relatively illiquid nature of real estate investments;


•	competitive conditions in our industry;


•	the loss of key management personnel or other employees;


•	the impact of litigation and rising insurance costs on the business of our tenants;


•	uninsured or underinsured losses affecting our properties and the possibility of environmental compliance costs and liabilities;


•	our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"); and


•	compliance with REIT requirements and certain tax matters related to our status as a REIT.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)


1.	BUSINESS

Overview

Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Old Sun”) and commenced operations on November 15, 2010. Sabra is organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and has elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year beginning on January 1, 2011. Sabra’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third party tenants in the healthcare sector. Sabra owns substantially all of its assets and properties and conducts its operations through Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Sabra is the sole general partner, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2012, Sabra’s investment portfolio included 105 properties leased to operators/tenants under triple-net lease agreements (consisting of (i) 93 skilled nursing/post-acute facilities, (ii) 11 senior housing facilities, and (iii) one acute care hospital). In addition, as of September 30, 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was the lender for two mortgage loans and one mezzanine loan.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sabra and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Acquisition Valuation

The Company accounts for the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition pursuit costs are expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company expensed $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of acquisition pursuit costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company expensed $2.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of acquisition pursuit costs. The Company's acquisition pursuit costs are included in general and administrative expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income.

Table of Contents

Interest Income

The Company's loans receivable are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost of a real estate loan receivable is the outstanding unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized costs and fees directly associated with the origination of the loan.

The Company reviews on a quarterly basis credit quality indicators such as payment status, changes affecting the underlying real estate collateral (for collateral dependent loans), changes affecting the operations of the facilities securing the loans, and national and regional economic factors. The Company's loans receivable are evaluated for impairment at each balance sheet date. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement resulting from the borrower's failure to repay contractual amounts due, the granting of a concession by the Company or the Company's expectation that it will receive assets with fair values less than the carrying value of the loan in satisfaction of the loan. If a loan is considered to be impaired, a reserve is established when the present value of payments expected to be received, observable market prices, the estimated fair value of the collateral (for loans that are dependent on the collateral for repayment) or amounts expected to be received in satisfaction of a loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. As of September 30, 2012, all of the Company's loans are performing and none are considered to be impaired.

Interest income on the Company’s loans receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the investment using the interest method. Direct loan origination costs are amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. When concerns exist as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest due under a loan, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status and the Company will not recognize interest income until the cash is received, or the loan returns to accrual status. If the Company determines the collection of interest according to the contractual terms of the loan is probable, the Company will resume the accrual of interest.


3.	RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND ORIGINATIONS

Real Estate Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company acquired six skilled nursing facilities and two senior housing facilities for a total purchase price of $98.1 million. The purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):



				Intangibles
Land		Building and Improvements		Tenant Origination and Absorption Costs		Tenant Relationship		Total Purchase Price
$	16,571	$	79,324	$	1,719	$	436	$	98,050

As of September 30, 2012, the purchase price allocations for acquisitions completed during the three months ended September 30, 2012 are preliminary pending the receipt of information necessary to complete the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and therefore are subject to change.

The tenant origination and absorption costs intangible assets and tenant relationship intangible assets acquired in connection with these acquisitions have weighted-average amortization periods as of the date of acquisition of 13 years and 23 years, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized $1.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of total revenues from these properties.

Loan Originations

On March 15, 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a $10.0 million mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”). The Mezzanine Loan has a five year term, bears interest at a fixed rate of 11.0% per annum and is secured by the borrowers' equity interests in three skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility located in Texas. The Company has an option to purchase the three skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility before March 31, 2013 for up to an aggregate purchase price of $43.0 million and increasing 2.5% for each of the two years thereafter. Upon exercise of the purchase option, the Company would expect to enter into a new 15 year triple-net master lease having 2 five-year renewal options.

Table of Contents

On June 22, 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an $11.0 million mortgage loan agreement secured by a first trust deed on a 125-bed skilled nursing facility in Texas that was built in 2010 (the “Onion Creek Mortgage Loan”) with affiliates of Meridian Equity Investors, L.P. as borrowers. The Onion Creek Mortgage Loan has a five year term, bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.5% per annum and cannot be prepaid during the first three years of the loan term. In addition, the Company has an option to purchase and the borrowers have an option to sell the facility securing the Onion Creek Mortgage Loan from July 1, 2013 through the time the loan is repaid for between $12.5 million and $14.5 million, depending on the annualized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) of the facility for the three month period preceding the option exercise date; however, in no event can the borrowers require the Company to purchase the property if the three month annualized EBITDAR is below $1.7 million. The loan was funded with available cash and proceeds from the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

On August 16, 2012, the Company, through certain subsidiaries, entered into a forward purchase program (the “Pipeline Agreement”) to acquire newly constructed senior housing properties to be developed by First Phoenix Group, LLC (“First Phoenix”). The Pipeline Agreement provides for the acquisition of, as well as certain interim funding arrangements for, up to ten assisted living and memory care facilities to be identified by First Phoenix and approved by the Company before the end of 2014. Under the Pipeline Agreement, First Phoenix will identify and develop the properties, affiliates of the Company will purchase the properties once stabilized and a 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant joint venture partnership between affiliates of the Company and First Phoenix will operate the facilities, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Company will own 100% of the real estate and lease it to the joint venture partnership under a triple-net lease structure with an initial annual yield on cash rent of 8%. Pursuant to the Pipeline Agreement, the Company would be obligated to purchase a property only after satisfactory completion of customary due diligence and agreed upon closing conditions. First Phoenix currently operates one facility under the Stoney River Assisted Living brand located in Marshfield, Wisconsin which is expected to be acquired by the Company during 2012 and operated by the joint venture partnership.

Concurrently with its execution of the Pipeline Agreement, the Company entered into a $1.0 million pre-development loan agreement with First Phoenix to fund the acquisition of land and certain other costs associated with the first development project under the Pipeline Agreement, a 72-unit assisted living/memory care facility located in Ramsey, Minnesota. This loan will be funded over the course of the pre-development activities and bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company funded $0.9 million under the pre-development loan agreement. Repayment of the loan is expected to occur in connection with the acquisition of the stabilized property by Sabra, or earlier in certain circumstances.

Operating Leases

As of September 30, 2012, all of the Company’s real estate properties are leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from eight to 22 years. As of September 30, 2012, the leases have a weighted-average remaining term of 11 years. The leases include provisions to extend the lease terms and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company, through its subsidiaries, retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to the tenants. In addition, the Company may receive additional security under these operating leases in the form of security deposits from the lessee or guarantees from the parent of the lessee. As of September 30, 2012, 86 of the Company's 105 real estate properties were leased to subsidiaries of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Sun”).

The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants by reviewing credit ratings (if available) and evaluating the ability of tenants to meet their lease obligations to the Company based on the tenants' financial performance, including the evaluation of any parent guarantees of tenant lease obligations. Because formal credit ratings may not be available for most of the Company's tenants, the primary basis for the Company's evaluation of the credit quality of its tenants (and more specifically the tenants' ability to pay their rent obligations to the Company) is the tenants' lease coverage ratios. These coverage ratios include EBITDAR to rent coverage and EBITDARM to rent coverage at the facility level and consolidated EBITDAR to total rent coverage at the parent guarantor level when such a guarantee exists (currently the Sun lease portfolio). EBITDARM is defined as EBITDAR before management fees. The Company obtains various financial and operational information from its tenants each month and reviews this information in conjunction with the above-described coverage metrics to determine trends and the operational and financial impact of the environment in the industry (including the impact of government reimbursement) and the management of the tenant's operations. These metrics help the Company identify potential areas of concern relative to its tenants' credit quality and ultimately the tenants' ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including its obligation to continue to pay the rent due to the Company. For further discussion of the Company's tenant and revenue concentration, see “Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies—Concentration of Credit Risk.”

As of September 30, 2012, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases is as follows (in thousands):

5.	DEBT

Mortgage Indebtedness. The Company’s mortgage notes payable consist of the following (dollars in thousands):



Interest Rate Type	Book Value as of September 30, 2012		Book Value as of December 31, 2011		Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate at September 30, 2012		Maturity Date
Fixed Rate	$	99,251	$	99,239	5.04	%	August 2015 - June 2047
Variable Rate⁽¹⁾	58,262		59,159		5.00	%	August 2015
	$	157,513	$	158,398


⁽¹⁾	Contractual interest rates under variable rate mortgages are equal to the 90-day LIBOR plus 4.0% (subject to a 1.0% LIBOR floor).

On June 28, 2012, the Company refinanced four of its existing United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) mortgage notes totaling $20.9 million. The Company maintained the original maturity dates, reduced the weighted average interest rate from 5.75% to 2.49% per annum and increased the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the mortgage notes by $1.1 million. On July 27, 2012, the Company refinanced one additional HUD mortgage note totaling $13.5 million. The Company maintained the original maturity date, reduced the interest rate from 5.90% to 2.49% per annum and increased the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the mortgage note by $0.4 million. In connection with the refinancings, the Company wrote off $0.5 million and $0.7 million in unamortized deferred financing costs related to the original mortgage notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

On May 1, 2012, the Company amended the Amended, Restated and Consolidated Loan Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation. The Company reduced the interest rate spread of the floating rate portion (totaling $58.3 million as of September 30, 2012) by 50 basis points and maintained the fixed rate portion (totaling $30.9 million as of September 30, 2012) at the original pricing of 6.82%. However, when the fixed rate portion converts to a floating rate loan on December 19, 2013, the reduced interest rate spread will apply. The Company also agreed to prepayment terms that do not allow for prepayment for the loan prior to May 1, 2014 unless the prepayment is either approved by the lender in its sole discretion or arises from a refinancing of one or more of the applicable facilities under a loan program insured or otherwise supported by HUD.

8.125% Senior Notes due 2018. On October 27, 2010, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Issuers”), issued $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior, unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) in a private placement. The Senior Notes were sold at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $225.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $219.9 million after deducting commissions and expenses. On December 6, 2010, substantially all of the net proceeds were used by Sun to redeem the $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of Old Sun’s 9.125% senior subordinated notes due 2015, including accrued and unpaid interest and the applicable redemption premium. In March 2011, the Issuers completed an exchange offer to exchange the Senior Notes for substantially identical 8.125% senior unsecured notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (also referred to herein as the “Senior Notes”).

On July 26, 2012, the Issuers issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, which are treated as a single class with the existing Senior Notes. The notes were issued at 106.0% providing net proceeds of $103.0 million after underwriting costs and other offering expenses and a yield-to-maturity of 6.92%. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from this offering to repay the borrowings outstanding on the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. On October 15, 2012, the Issuers commenced an exchange offer to exchange the $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that were issued in July 2012 for substantially identical Senior Notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The exchange offer is scheduled to expire on November 14, 2012.

The obligations under the Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by Sabra and certain of Sabra’s existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future material subsidiaries; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. See “Note 9. Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information” for additional information concerning the circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.

time, on or prior to November 1, 2013, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, using the proceeds of specific kinds of equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.125% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. Assuming the Senior Notes are not redeemed, the Senior Notes mature on November 1, 2018.

The Indenture governing the Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Sabra, the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; (iii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, their capital stock; (iv) make certain investments or other restricted payments; (v) sell assets; (vi) create liens on their assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets; and (ix) create restrictions on the ability of Sabra's restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Sabra. The Indenture governing the Senior Notes also provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal of, the Senior Notes, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Indenture for a period of time after notice has been provided, the acceleration of other indebtedness resulting from the failure to pay principal on such other indebtedness prior to its maturity, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the then outstanding Senior Notes may become due and payable immediately. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes.

Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. On November 3, 2010, the Operating Partnership and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Borrowers”) entered into a secured revolving credit facility with certain lenders as set forth in the related credit agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (each as defined in such credit agreement). The secured revolving credit facility is secured by, among other things, a first priority lien against certain of the properties owned by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The obligations of the Borrowers under the secured revolving credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. On February 10, 2012, the Borrowers amended the secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility”) to increase the borrowing capacity from $100.0 million to $200.0 million (up to $20.0 million of which may be utilized for letters of credit) and to include an accordion feature that allows the Borrowers to increase borrowing availability under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility by up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions. On September 20, 2012, the Borrowers utilized the accordion feature to increase the borrowing capacity to $230.0 million. Borrowing availability under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on, among other factors, the lesser of (i) the mortgageability cash flow (as such term is defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the appraised value, in each case of the properties securing the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowing availability under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility terminates, and all borrowings mature, on February 10, 2015, subject to a one-year extension option. As of September 30, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the Company’s Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility and $201.6 million available for borrowing.

Borrowings under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Borrowers' option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 3.00% to 4.00% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 2.00% to 3.00% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility was 3.46%. In addition, the Borrowers are required to pay a facility fee to the lenders equal to between 0.35% and 0.50% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in interest expense on amounts outstanding on the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of unused facility fees.

The Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. The Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility also requires the Company, through the Borrowers, to comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company incurred interest expense of $9.5 million and $25.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $7.6 million and $22.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Interest expense includes deferred financing costs amortization of $1.2 million and $2.6 million for the three and

nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes $0.7 million in write-offs related to the refinancing of certain mortgage notes. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $11.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of accrued interest included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following is a schedule of maturities for the Company’s outstanding debt as of September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

6.FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.

Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and whose markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments whose markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for other financial instruments are derived as follows:

Loans receivable: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans receivable, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements.

Senior Notes: The fair values of the Senior Notes were determined using third-party market quotes derived from orderly trades.

Mortgage indebtedness: The fair values of the Company’s notes payable were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements.

The following are the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value:



	September 30, 2012						December 31, 2011
	Face Value ⁽¹⁾		Carrying Amount ⁽²⁾		Fair Value		Face Value ⁽¹⁾		Carrying Amount ⁽²⁾		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Loans receivable	$	21,897	$	22,092	$	22,796	$	—	$	—	$	—
Financial liabilities:
Senior Notes	325,000		330,861		354,250		225,000		225,000		227,813
Mortgage indebtedness	157,025		157,513		167,632		157,898		158,398		172,829

⁽¹⁾ Face value represents amounts contractually due under the terms of the respective agreements.

Table of Contents

⁽²⁾Carrying amount represents the book value of financial instruments as of the date specified. Carrying amount of financial liabilities includes net unamortized premiums and carrying amount of financial assets includes net unamortized origination costs.

The Company determined the fair value of financial instruments as of September 30, 2012 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value with valuation methods utilizing the following types of inputs (in thousands):



			Fair Value Measurements Using
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
	Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Financial assets:
Loans receivable	$	22,796	$	—	$	—	$	22,796
Financial liabilities:
Senior Notes	354,250		—		354,250		—
Mortgage indebtedness	167,632		—		—		167,632

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company at the applicable dates and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of fair value at a future date could be materially different.


7.	EQUITY

Common Stock

The following table lists the cash dividends on common stock declared and paid by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2012:



Declaration Date	Record Date	Amount Per Share		Dividend Payable Date

On August 1, 2011, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 11.7 million newly issued shares of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC, which became effective on July 26, 2011. The Company received net proceeds, before expenses, of $163.9 million from the offering, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of all 11.7 million shares of common stock (which included 1.5 million shares sold to the underwriters upon exercise of their option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments), at a price to the public of $14.75 per share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 117,890 shares of common stock as a result of restricted stock unit vestings and in connection with amounts payable under the Company's 2011 Bonus Plan pursuant to an election to receive the bonus payment in shares of the Company's common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 41,640 shares of common stock as a result of stock options exercised.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, there were no anti-dilutive restricted stock units and options to purchase approximately 6,000 shares were not included because they were anti-dilutive. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 5,000 restricted stock units were not included because they were anti-dilutive and no in-the-money stock options were considered anti-dilutive. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, approximately 42,000 restricted stock units were not included because they were anti-dilutive and no in-the-money stock options were considered anti-dilutive. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no anti-dilutive restricted stock units and no in-the-money stock options were considered anti-dilutive.

9.SUMMARIZED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION

In connection with the offering of the Senior Notes by the Issuers in October 2010 and July 2012, the Company and certain 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Notes, subject to release under certain customary circumstances as described below. These guarantees are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and senior guarantees of the Guarantors and are unsecured. The Company conducts all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company’s ability to make required payments with respect to its indebtedness (including the Senior Notes) and other obligations depends on the financial results and condition of its subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.

A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the Senior Notes in the event of:


•	Any sale of the subsidiary Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets;


•	A merger or consolidation of a subsidiary Guarantor with an issuer of the Senior Notes or another Guarantor, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor;


•	A subsidiary Guarantor is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes under the Indenture;


•	The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the Indenture have been satisfied;


•	A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the Indenture, of a subsidiary Guarantor; and


•	The release or discharge of the guaranty that resulted in the creation of the subsidiary guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guaranty.

Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following summarized consolidating information is provided for the Company (the “Parent Company”), the Issuers, the Guarantors, and the Company’s non-Guarantor subsidiaries with respect to the Senior Notes. This summarized financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by the Company, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The summarized financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Issuers, the Guarantors or non-Guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities. Sabra’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented based upon Sabra's proportionate share of each subsidiary's net assets. The Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in the non-Guarantor subsidiaries and non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in Guarantor subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. Intercompany activities between subsidiaries and the Parent Company are presented within operating activities on the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows.

Condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Parent Company only, the Issuers, the combined Guarantor subsidiaries and the combined non-Guarantor subsidiaries, are as follows:

10.	PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the combined results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company acquired eight properties, originated three loans receivable, issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Senior Notes and repaid the $42.5 million outstanding under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 has been prepared to give effect to these transactions and the eleven acquisitions that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as the offering of 11.7 million shares of common stock that closed in August 2011, as if they had occurred on January 1, 2011.

11.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risks arise when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to the Company’s investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company regularly monitors its portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks.

Sun

As of September 30, 2012, 86 of the Company’s 105 real estate properties were leased to subsidiaries of Sun. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, 69% and 72%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues were derived from these leases. Sun is a publicly traded company and is subject to the informational filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is required to file periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q with the SEC. As of September 30, 2012, Sun's continuing operations, through its subsidiaries, operated 190 inpatient centers spread across 23 states. Sun’s net revenues were $460.5 million and $1.4 billion, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $468.7 million and $1.4 billion, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Sun’s adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction costs, restructuring costs, loss on asset impairment and rent were $57.9 million and $166.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $64.1 million and $196.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2012, Sun’s outstanding debt, net of cash, totaled $25.1 million. As of September 30, 2012, Sun had approximately $123.8 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $63.8 million and available borrowings of $60.0 million under Sun’s revolving credit facility.

Cadia Portfolio

On August 1, 2011, the Company closed the purchase of four skilled nursing facilities (the “Cadia Portfolio”). The four skilled nursing facilities are located in Delaware, range in age from 3 to 16 years and have a combined total of 500 beds. In connection with the acquisition, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a new 15-year triple-net master lease agreement with the sellers (collectively, the “Cadia Tenants”). None of the Cadia Tenants are affiliated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s investment in the Cadia Portfolio totaled 11% of the Company's assets, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, 10% and 11%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues were derived from the Cadia Portfolio lease. The Company believes that the financial condition and results of operations of the Cadia Tenants are more relevant to the Company’s investors than the financial statements of the Cadia Portfolio and enable investors to evaluate the credit-worthiness of the Cadia Tenants in their capacity as the tenants under the Cadia Portfolio lease. As a result, the Company has presented below unaudited summary financial information of the combined Cadia Tenants as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The summary financial information presented below has been provided by the Cadia Tenants and has not been independently verified by the Company. The Company has no reason to believe that such information is inaccurate in any material respect.

Other than the Company’s tenant concentrations, management believes the Company’s current portfolio is reasonably diversified across healthcare related real estate and geographical location and does not contain any other significant concentration of credit risks. The Company’s portfolio of 105 real estate properties is diversified by location across 26 states. The properties in any one state did not account for more than 14% of the Company’s total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The properties in any one state did not account for more than 17% of the Company’s total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of September 30, 2012.

Separation and REIT Conversion Merger

On May 24, 2010, Old Sun announced its intention to restructure its business by separating its real estate assets and its operating assets into two separate publicly traded companies, Sabra and SHG Services Inc. (which has been renamed “Sun Healthcare Group, Inc.” or “Sun”). In order to effect the restructuring, Old Sun distributed to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sun (this distribution is referred to as the “Separation”), together with an additional cash distribution. Immediately following the Separation, Old Sun merged with and into Sabra, with Sabra surviving the merger and Old Sun stockholders receiving shares of Sabra common stock in exchange for their shares of Old Sun common

Table of Contents

stock (this merger is referred to as the “REIT Conversion Merger”). Effective November 15, 2010, the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger were completed and Sabra and Sun began operations as separate companies.

Following the Separation, Sun, through its subsidiaries, continued the business and operations of Old Sun and its subsidiaries. Sabra did not operate prior to the Separation. Immediately following the Separation, subsidiaries of Sabra owned substantially all of Old Sun’s owned real property. The owned real property held by subsidiaries of Sabra following the Separation includes fixtures and certain personal property associated with the real property. The historical consolidated financial statements of Old Sun became the historical consolidated financial statements of Sun at the time of the Separation. At the time of the Separation, the balance sheet of Sabra included the owned real property and mortgage indebtedness to third parties on the real property as well as indebtedness incurred by Sabra prior to completion of the Separation. The statements of income and cash flows of Sabra consist solely of its operations after the Separation. The Separation was accounted for as a reverse spinoff. Accordingly, Sabra’s assets and liabilities are recorded at the historical carrying values of Old Sun.

Indemnification Agreement

In connection with the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving the Company’s real estate investments has been assumed by the Company and the Company will indemnify Sun (and its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) against any losses arising from or relating to such legal proceedings. In addition, pursuant to a distribution agreement entered into among Old Sun, the Company and Sun in connection with the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, Sun has agreed to indemnify the Company (and the Company's subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) for any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving Old Sun’s healthcare business prior to the Separation, and, pursuant to the lease agreements between the Company and subsidiaries of Sun, the tenants agree to indemnify the Company for any liability arising from operations at the real property leased from the Company.

Immediately prior to the Separation, Old Sun was a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings, including various claims arising in the ordinary course of its healthcare business, which are subject to the indemnities to be provided by Sun to the Company. While these actions and proceedings are not believed to be material, individually or in the aggregate, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted. The resolution of any such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on Sun’s business, financial position or results of operations, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position or results of operations if Sun or its subsidiaries are unable to meet their indemnification obligations.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings where the likelihood of a loss contingency is reasonably possible and the amount or range of reasonably possible losses is material to the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those which are discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Also see “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is organized as follows:


•	Overview


•	Sun - Genesis Pending Merger Transaction


•	Recent Transactions


•	Critical Accounting Policies


•	Results of Operations


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources


•	Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates


•	Obligations and Commitments


•	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Overview

We were incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Old Sun”), a provider of nursing, rehabilitative and related specialty healthcare services principally to the senior population in the United States. Pursuant to a restructuring plan by Old Sun, Old Sun restructured its business by separating its real estate assets and its operating assets into two separate publicly traded companies, Sabra and SHG Services Inc. (which has been renamed “Sun Healthcare Group, Inc.” or “Sun”). In order to effect the restructuring, Old Sun distributed to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sun (this distribution is referred to as the “Separation”), together with an additional cash distribution. Immediately following the Separation, Old Sun merged with and into Sabra, with Sabra surviving the merger and Old Sun stockholders receiving shares of Sabra common stock in exchange for their shares of Old Sun common stock (this merger is referred to as the “REIT Conversion Merger”). The Separation and REIT Conversion Merger were completed on November 15, 2010, which we refer to as the Separation Date.

Following the restructuring of Old Sun’s business and the completion of the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, we began operating as a self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that, directly or indirectly, owns and invests in real estate serving the healthcare industry.

As of September 30, 2012, our investment portfolio included 105 real estate properties (consisting of (i) 93 skilled nursing/post-acute facilities, (ii) 11 senior housing facilities, and (iii) one acute care hospital), two mortgage loans and one mezzanine loan. As of September 30, 2012, our real estate properties had a total of 11,689 licensed beds, or units, spread across 26 states. As of September 30, 2012, all of our real estate properties are leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from eight to 22 years.

We expect to continue to grow our portfolio primarily through the acquisition of senior housing and memory care facilities and with a secondary focus on acquiring skilled nursing facilities. We have and will continue to opportunistically originate financing secured directly or indirectly by healthcare facilities. We also intend to work with operators to identify strategic development opportunities. These opportunities may involve replacing or renovating facilities in our portfolio that may have become less competitive and new development opportunities that present attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition to acquisitions with triple-net leases, we expect to pursue other forms of investment structures, including taxable REIT subsidiary structures and joint ventures for senior housing and memory care assets.

As we acquire additional properties and expand our portfolio, we expect to further diversify by tenant, asset class and geography within the healthcare sector. We employ a disciplined, opportunistic approach in our healthcare real estate investment strategy by investing in assets that provide attractive opportunities for dividend growth and appreciation of asset values, while maintaining balance sheet strength and liquidity, thereby creating long-term stockholder value.

We are organized to qualify as a REIT and have elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. We operate through an umbrella partnership (commonly referred to as an UPREIT) structure in which substantially all of our properties and assets are held by

Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Sun - Genesis Pending Merger Transaction

On June 20, 2012, Sun announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Genesis HealthCare LLC (“Genesis”). According to Sun’s announcement, Genesis will acquire Sun for $8.50 of cash per share of common stock, resulting in a transaction value of approximately $275 million net of cash and debt acquired. Sun’s Board of Directors unanimously approved this transaction. According to Sun’s announcements, the closing of this transaction remains subject to customary conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, and the closing is expected to occur in the late fall of 2012. In connection with this transaction, we expect to obtain a parent guaranty from Genesis to replace the existing Sun guaranty of the lease obligations of its subsidiaries that are tenants under our lease agreements. Additionally, we expect the guaranty to include a tangible net worth covenant and expect to obtain an amendment to our master lease agreement with Sun to improve the annual rent escalators to a fixed 2.5% increase and to include cross-default provisions with Genesis’ term loan, all of which modifications should improve the overall quality of our leases with Sun. However, there can be no assurances that the proposed transaction will be completed on its proposed terms or at all. In its announcement, Sun expressed its belief that the combined entity will have broad geographic reach and the scale necessary to remain competitive in the post-acute sector. Sun has reported that, on a combined basis, the two companies generated roughly $4 billion in revenue in 2011 and have more than 420 facilities and 75,000 employees.

Recent Transactions

Independence Village Frankenmuth

On September 21, 2012, we acquired a 249-unit independent living facility located in Frankenmuth, Michigan for $26.5 million. Concurrently with the purchase, we entered into a triple-net lease agreement with affiliates of Unified Acquisitions & Development, LLC. The lease has an initial term of 10 years with two five-year renewal options and provides for annual rent escalators equal to the greater of the change in the Consumer Price Index or 3.0%, resulting in annual lease revenues determined in accordance with GAAP of $2.4 million and an initial yield on cash rent of 8.0%. The purchase price was funded with available cash.

New Dawn Memory Care

On September 20, 2012, we acquired a 48-unit memory care facility located in Aurora, Colorado for $16.0 million from an affiliate of New Dawn Holding Company (“New Dawn”). Concurrently with the purchase, we entered into a triple-net lease agreement with affiliates of New Dawn. The lease has an initial term of 10 years with two five-year renewal options and provides for a fixed annual rent escalator of 3.0%, resulting in annual lease revenues determined in accordance with GAAP of $1.5 million and an initial yield on cash rent of 8.0%. The purchase price was funded with available cash. In addition, Sabra was granted a right of first refusal to acquire a memory care facility owned by an affiliate of New Dawn being built in Sun City West, Arizona.

First Phoenix

On August 16, 2012, we, through certain subsidiaries, entered into a forward purchase program (the “Pipeline Agreement”) to acquire newly constructed senior housing properties to be developed by First Phoenix Group, LLC (“First Phoenix”). The Pipeline Agreement provides for the acquisition of, as well as certain interim funding arrangements for, up to ten assisted living and memory care facilities to be identified by First Phoenix and approved by us before the end of 2014. Under the Pipeline Agreement, First Phoenix will identify and develop the properties, affiliates of Sabra will purchase the properties once stabilized and a 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant joint venture partnership between affiliates of Sabra and First Phoenix will operate the facilities, subject to certain terms and conditions. Sabra will own 100% of the real estate and lease it to the joint venture partnership under a triple-net lease structure with an initial annual yield on cash rent of 8%. Pursuant to the Pipeline Agreement, the Company would be obligated to purchase a property only after satisfactory completion of customary due diligence and agreed upon closing conditions. First Phoenix currently operates one facility under the Stoney River Assisted Living brand located in Marshfield, Wisconsin which is expected to be acquired by Sabra during 2012 and operated by the joint venture partnership.

Concurrently with its execution of the Pipeline Agreement, Sabra entered into a $1.0 million pre-development loan agreement with First Phoenix to fund the acquisition of land and certain other costs associated with the first development project under the Pipeline Agreement, a 72-unit assisted living/memory care facility located in Ramsey, Minnesota. This loan will be funded over the course of the pre-development activities and bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we funded $0.9 million under the pre-development loan agreement. Repayment of the

loan is expected to occur in connection with the acquisition of the stabilized property by Sabra, or earlier in certain circumstances.

Issuance of Senior Notes

On July 26, 2012, we, through the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation (the “Issuers”), issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, which are treated as a single class with our existing Senior Notes. The notes were issued at 106.0% providing net proceeds of $103.0 million after underwriting costs and other offering expenses and a yield-to-maturity of 6.92%. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Loan Agreements—8.125% Senior Notes due 2018.”

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2011, our investment portfolio included 94 real estate properties and an investment in a mortgage note, which was subsequently repaid. As of September 30, 2012, our investment portfolio included 105 real estate properties and three investments in loans receivable. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of owning investments acquired in 2011 and 2012 for an entire period and the anticipated future acquisition of additional investments. The results of operations presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are not directly comparable due to the increase in acquisition activity subsequent to September 30, 2011.

Rental Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $25.4 million of rental income compared to $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $4.1 million net increase in rental income is due to an increase of $3.7 million from properties acquired after June 30, 2011 and an increase of $0.4 million primarily due to annual rent escalators

Table of Contents

related to properties owned prior to 2011. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and there is no contingent rental income that may be derived from our properties.

Interest Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $0.6 million of interest income, which consisted primarily of interest income earned on loans receivable. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $0.2 million of interest income, which consisted primarily of interest income earned on the Hillside Terrace Mortgage Note, which we acquired on March 25, 2011 and was subsequently repaid on December 5, 2011.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $7.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $0.6 million net increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to an increase of $0.9 million from properties acquired after June 30, 2011, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million related to assets that have been fully depreciated. As of September 30, 2012, the purchase price allocations for acquisitions completed during the three months ended September 30, 2012 are preliminary pending the receipt of information necessary to complete the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and therefore are subject to change.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $9.5 million of interest expense compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $1.9 million net increase is primarily related to a $1.4 million increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs and premium related to the July 2012 issuance of the $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Senior Notes, $0.4 million increase in interest expense, unused facility fees and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the amounts outstanding (which we repaid during the three months ended September 30, 2012) and increase in capacity under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $230.0 million and $0.5 million increase in amortization of deferred financing costs due to the write-off of fees in connection with our mortgage debt refinancing. These increases were offset by a decrease in interest expense of $0.3 million primarily due to the decreased interest rates on the refinanced mortgage notes and a decrease of $0.1 million due to a 50 basis point reduction in the interest rate spread on certain floating rate mortgage debt totaling $58.3 million as of September 30, 2012.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs and other costs associated with acquisition pursuit activities. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses were $3.8 million compared to $4.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $0.9 million net decrease is primarily related to a $2.2 million decrease in acquisition pursuit costs, from $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012, offset by a $1.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, from $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in stock-based compensation expense is primarily related to 2012 annual bonuses. Management has elected to receive annual bonuses in stock rather than in cash and therefore changes in our stock price will result in changes to our bonus expense. The increase in stock-based compensation as a result of the annual bonuses to be received in stock is due to the increase in our stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2012 (an increase of $2.90 per share) compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 (a decrease of $7.17 per share). We expect acquisition pursuit costs to fluctuate from period to period depending on acquisition activity. We also expect stock-based compensation expense to fluctuate from period to period depending upon changes in our stock price and estimates associated with performance-based compensation.

Rental Income

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $73.9 million of rental income compared to $57.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The $16.4 million increase in rental income is due to an increase of $15.1 million from properties acquired after December 31, 2010 and an increase of $1.3 million due to annual rent escalators related to properties owned prior to 2011. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and there is no contingent rental income that may be derived from our properties.

Interest Income

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $1.0 million of interest income, which consisted primarily of interest income earned on loans receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $0.4 million of interest income, which consisted mostly of interest income earned on the Hillside Terrace Mortgage Note, which we acquired on March 25, 2011 and was subsequently repaid on December 5, 2011.

Depreciation and Amortization

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $22.3 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The $3.1 million net increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to an increase of $3.9 million from properties acquired after December 31, 2010, partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million related to assets that have been fully depreciated. As of September 30, 2012, the purchase price allocations for acquisitions completed during the three months ended September 30, 2012 are preliminary pending the receipt of information necessary to complete the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and therefore are subject to change.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $25.4 million of interest expense compared to $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The $2.7 million net increase is primarily related to a $1.5 million increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs and premium related to the July 2012 issuance of the $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Senior Notes, $1.0 million increase in interest expense, unused facility fees and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the amounts outstanding (which we repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2012) and increase in capacity under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $230.0 million and $0.7 million increase in amortization of deferred financing costs due to the write-off of fees in connection with our mortgage debt refinancings. These increases were offset by a decrease in interest expense of $0.3 million in interest expense due to the decreased interest rates on the refinanced mortgage notes and a decrease of $0.2 million due to a 50 basis point reduction in the interest rate spread on certain floating rate mortgage debt totaling $58.3 million as of September 30, 2012.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs and other costs associated with acquisition pursuit activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses were $11.6 million compared to $10.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The $1.4 million net increase is primarily related to a $2.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, from $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $5.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, offset by a $1.8 million decrease in acquisition pursuit costs, from $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in stock-based compensation expense is primarily related to 2012 annual bonuses. Management has elected to receive annual bonuses in stock rather than in cash and therefore changes in our stock price will result in changes to our bonus expense. The increase in stock-based compensation as a result of the annual bonuses to be received in stock is due to the increase in our stock price during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (an increase of $7.92 per share) compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (a decrease of $8.86 per share). We expect acquisition pursuit costs to fluctuate from period to period depending on acquisition activity. We also expect stock-based compensation expense to fluctuate from period to period depending upon changes in our stock price and estimates associated with performance-based compensation.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We believe that net income as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) (and related per share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding non-cash revenues (including straight-line rental income adjustments, amortization of acquired above/below market lease intangibles and non-cash interest income adjustments), non-cash expenses (including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of debt discounts and premiums) and acquisition pursuit costs. We believe that the use of FFO and AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, and, for AFFO, by excluding non-cash revenues (including straight-line rental income adjustments, amortization of acquired above/below market lease intangibles and non-cash interest income adjustments), non-cash expenses (including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of debt discounts and premiums) and acquisition pursuit costs, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.

The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Included in net income above is general and administrative expense of $0.3 million related to one-time start-up costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Please see the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for details of our operating, investing, and financing cash activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $232.1 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $30.5 million and available borrowings under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility of $201.6 million. On July 26, 2012, we completed an offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes at 106.0%, providing net proceeds of $103.0 million after underwriting costs and other offering expenses. A portion of these proceeds was used to repay $42.5 million outstanding under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. See “—Overview—Recent Transactions.”

We believe that our available cash, operating cash flows and borrowings available to us under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility provide sufficient funds for our operations, scheduled debt service payments with respect to the Senior Notes and mortgage indebtedness on our properties, and dividend requirements for the next twelve months. We have also filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which became effective on October 31, 2011, that will allow us to issue up to $500.0 million in new securities.

We intend to invest in additional healthcare properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed, in whole or in part, by our existing cash, borrowings available to us under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility, future borrowings or the proceeds from additional issuances of common stock or other securities. In addition, we expect to seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae and HUD, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions and refinancings of existing mortgage loans.

As of September 30, 2012, we had $325.0 million of indebtedness with respect to our Senior Notes and aggregate mortgage indebtedness to third parties of approximately $157.0 million on certain of our properties. In addition, as of September 30, 2012, we had no amounts outstanding under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility with borrowing capacity of $230.0 million and $201.6 million available for borrowing.

Although we are subject to restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness under the indenture governing the Senior Notes and under the terms of our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility, we expect that we will be able to refinance

existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness for acquisitions or other purposes, if needed. However, there can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness or access additional sources of capital, such as by issuing common stock or other debt or equity securities, on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $47.9 million and $34.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This was derived primarily from the rental payments received under the lease agreements with subsidiaries of Sun and rental payments from our other tenants following the date of our acquisition of the underlying property we are leasing to them. We expect our annualized cash flows provided by operating activities to increase as a result of completed and anticipated future real estate investment acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $121.2 million and consisted of $98.1 million used in the acquisition of six skilled nursing facilities and two senior housing facilities, $22.1 million used to originate three loans receivable and $1.0 million used for tenant improvements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $193.1 million and consisted of $187.7 million used in the acquisition of seven skilled nursing facilities and one acute care hospital and $5.3 million used for the acquisition of the Hillside Terrace Mortgage Note. We expect to continue using available liquidity in connection with anticipated future real estate investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $61.5 million and consisted of $106.0 million in proceeds from the July 2012 offering of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued at 106% and $0.1 million in net proceeds related to the issuance of common stock, partially offset by a net decrease in mortgage borrowings of $0.9 million, $36.7 million of dividends paid to common stockholders and $7.0 million of payments for deferred financing costs related to the entry into the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the refinancing of certain mortgage notes and the July 2012 offering of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The $0.9 million net decrease in mortgage borrowings consisted of $1.5 million of incremental borrowings through refinancings of existing mortgage notes less $2.4 million from normal amortizing principal payments. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we borrowed $42.5 million on our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility, which was repaid during the same period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in financing activities was $140.8 million and consisted of $163.4 million from the issuance of common stock, partially offset by $19.9 million of dividends paid to common stockholders, $2.2 million of principal repayments of mortgage notes payable and $0.5 million of payments for deferred financing costs.

Loan Agreements

8.125% Senior Notes due 2018. On October 27, 2010, the Issuers issued $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) in a private placement. The Senior Notes were sold at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $225.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $219.9 million after deducting commissions and expenses. On December 6, 2010, substantially all of the net proceeds were used by Sun to redeem the $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of Old Sun’s 9.125% senior subordinated notes due 2015, including accrued and unpaid interest and the applicable redemption premium. In March 2011, the Issuers completed an exchange offer to exchange the Senior Notes for substantially identical 8.125% senior unsecured notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (also referred to herein as the “Senior Notes”).

On July 26, 2012, the Issuers issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, which are treated as a single class with the existing Senior Notes. The notes were issued at 106.0% providing net proceeds of $103.0 million after underwriting costs and other offering expenses. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from this offering to repay the borrowings outstanding on the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. On October 15, 2012, the Issuers commenced an exchange offer to exchange the $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that were issued in July 2012 for substantially identical Senior Notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The exchange offer is scheduled to expire on November 14, 2012

The obligations under the Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by us and certain of our existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future material subsidiaries; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. See Note 9, “Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information

concerning the circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.

The Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 1, 2014, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. In addition, prior to November 1, 2014, the Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to November 1, 2013, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, using the proceeds of specific kinds of equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.125% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. Assuming the Senior Notes are not redeemed, the Senior Notes mature on November 1, 2018.

The Indenture governing the Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Sabra, the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; (iii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, their capital stock; (iv) make certain investments or other restricted payments; (v) sell assets; (vi) create liens on their assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets; and (ix) create restrictions on the ability of Sabra's restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Sabra. The Indenture governing the Senior Notes also provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal of, the Senior Notes, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Indenture for a period of time after notice has been provided, the acceleration of other indebtedness resulting from the failure to pay principal on such other indebtedness prior to its maturity, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the then outstanding Senior Notes may become due and payable immediately. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes.

Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. On November 3, 2010, the Borrowers entered into a secured revolving credit facility with certain lenders as set forth in the related credit agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (each as defined in such credit agreement), as amended on February 10, 2012 to increase the borrowing capacity from $100.0 million to $200.0 million (up to $20.0 million of which may be utilized for letters of credit) and to include an accordion feature that allows the Borrowers to increase borrowing availability up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions. On September 20, 2012, the Borrowers utilized the accordion feature to increase the borrowing capacity to $230.0 million. The Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility is secured by, among other things, a first priority lien against certain of the properties owned by certain of our subsidiaries. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. Borrowing availability under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on, among other factors, the lesser of (i) the mortgageability cash flow (as such term is defined in the credit agreement relating to the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility) or (ii) the appraised value, in each case of the properties securing the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowing availability under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility terminates, and all borrowings mature, on February 10, 2015, subject to a one-year extension option. Borrowing availability under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility terminates, and all borrowings mature, on February 10, 2015, subject to a one-year extension option. As of September 30, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility and $201.6 million available for borrowing. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in interest expense on amounts outstanding on the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of unused facility fees.

specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

Mortgage Indebtedness

Of our 105 properties, 26 are subject to mortgage indebtedness to third parties that, as of September 30, 2012, totaled approximately $157.0 million. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our mortgage notes payable consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):



Interest Rate Type	Book Value as of September 30, 2012⁽¹⁾		Book Value as of December 31, 2011 ⁽¹⁾		Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate at September 30, 2012		Maturity Date
Fixed Rate	$	99,251	$	99,239	5.04	%	August 2015 - June 2047
Variable Rate⁽²⁾	58,262		59,159		5.00	%	August 2015
	$	157,513	$	158,398


⁽¹⁾	Book value balance for mortgage indebtedness includes mortgage premium of $0.5 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.


⁽²⁾	Contractual interest rates under variable rate mortgages are equal to the 90-day LIBOR plus 4.0% (subject to a 1.0% LIBOR floor).

Capital Expenditures

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our aggregate capital expenditures were $7,000 and $9,000, respectively, which were primarily for corporate office needs. There are no present plans for the improvement or development of any unimproved or undeveloped property; however, from time to time we may agree to fund improvements our tenants make at our facilities. Accordingly, we anticipate that our aggregate capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months will not exceed $3.0 million, and that such expenditures will principally be for improvements to our facilities and result in incremental rental income.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $36.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. On October 29, 2012, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on November 30, 2012 to stockholders of record as of November 15, 2012.

Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates

Medicare reimburses skilled nursing facilities for Medicare Part A services under the Prospective Payment System (“PPS”), as implemented pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and modified pursuant to subsequent laws, most recently the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”). PPS regulations predetermine a payment amount per patient, per day, based on a market basket index calculated for all covered costs. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into one of 66 Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) categories that represent the level of services required to treat different conditions and levels of acuity.

The current system of 66 RUG categories, or Resource Utilization Group version IV (“RUG IV”), became effective as of October 1, 2010. RUG IV resulted from research performed by CMS and was part of CMS's continuing effort to increase the correlation of the cost of services to the condition of individual patients.

On July 29, 2011, CMS released its final rule regarding 2012 Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities, which became effective October 1, 2011. Based on the final rule, the fiscal year 2012 Medicare reimbursement rates for skilled nursing facilities were reduced by 11.1%. On January 4, 2012, Sun issued a press release announcing its 2012 financial outlook and guidance, in which Sun stated that it expected the net impact of the final rule in 2012 to be between $40 million to $45 million after mitigation strategies were implemented to partially offset the impact of the CMS final rule. Sun's actual consolidated EBITDAR and consolidated rents across all of its facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $163.5 million and $109.5 million, respectively. Sun's consolidated EBITDAR coverage for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 1.49x. On July 27, 2012, CMS released final fiscal year 2013 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing a net increase of 1.8% over fiscal year 2012 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.5% less the productivity adjustment of 0.7%).

In addition to Sun, other tenants have undertaken cost and patient mix mitigation activities intended to partially offset the impact of the 2012 CMS final rule. Although there has been no negative impact on our tenants' ability to pay their lease

obligations to date, if Sun and our other skilled nursing facility tenants are unable to continue to mitigate the impact of the CMS final rule as expected, their business and financial results may be adversely impacted, which will adversely affect our business, financial position or results of operations if they are unable to timely make their rental payments to us.

Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments in future years, including our Senior Notes and our mortgage indebtedness to third parties on certain of our properties that, as of September 30, 2012, totaled $157.0 million.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk with respect to our indebtedness. As of September 30, 2012, this indebtedness included $325.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding and $157.0 million of mortgage indebtedness to third parties on certain of the properties that our subsidiaries own. As of September 30, 2012, we had $58.3 million of outstanding variable rate indebtedness. In addition, as of September 30, 2012, we had $201.6 million available for borrowing under our Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility. From time to time, we may borrow under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility to finance future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, or for other purposes. Because borrowings under the Amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at our option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, the interest rate we will be required to pay on any such borrowings will depend on then applicable rates and may vary. An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any acquisition by us more costly. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness. Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate related to our variable rate debt, and assuming no change in our outstanding debt balance as of September 30, 2012, interest expense would increase $0.1 million for the twelve months following September 30, 2012. As the index underlying our variable rate mortgages is currently below 100 basis points and is not expected to go below zero and after giving consideration to interest rate floors imbedded in our variable rate debt agreements, interest expense would not be expected to be impacted by a decline in current interest rates.

We expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness. We also may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of interest rate swap agreements, although we are not currently a party to any swap agreements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
