HCP, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

(1)         Business

 

HCP, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that is organized to qualify as a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which, together with its consolidated entities (collectively, “HCP” or the “Company”), invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States. The Company acquires, develops, leases, disposes and manages healthcare real estate and provides mortgage and specialty financing to healthcare providers.

 

(2)         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HCP, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures that it controls, through voting rights or other means. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised (“FIN 46R”), for arrangements with variable interest entities. FIN 46R provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. A variable interest entity is broadly defined as an entity where either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, do not have a controlling financial interest, or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company consolidates investments in VIEs when the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE at either the creation of the variable interest entity or upon the occurrence of a qualifying reconsideration event.

 

The Company applies Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 04-5, Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”), to investments in joint ventures. EITF 04-5 provides guidance on the type of rights held by the limited partner(s) that preclude consolidation in circumstances in which the sole general partner would otherwise consolidate the limited partnership in accordance with GAAP. The assessment of limited partners’ rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner should be made when an investor becomes the sole general partner and should be reassessed if (i) there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners, (ii) the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or (iii) there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. EITF 04-5 also applies to managing member interests in limited liability companies.

HCP, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

Investments in entities which the Company does not consolidate but for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are reported under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses are included in the Company’s operating results.

 

The initial carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is based on the amount paid to purchase the joint venture interest or the carrying value of the assets prior to the sale of interests in the joint venture. To the extent that the Company’s cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the life of the related assets and liabilities and included in the Company’s share of equity in earnings of the joint venture. The Company recognizes gains on the sale of interests in joint ventures to the extent the economic substance of the transaction is a sale in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate (“SFAS No. 66”).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental income from tenants is recognized in accordance with GAAP, including SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”). The Company begins recognizing rental revenue when collectibility is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. For assets acquired subject to leases the Company recognizes revenue upon acquisition of the asset provided the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:

 

·      whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;

 

·      whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;

 

·      whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and

 

·      whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

 

For leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes income on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectibility is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis for leases results in recognized revenue exceeding amounts contractually due from tenants. Such cumulative excess amounts are included in other assets and were $86 million and $76 million, net of allowances, at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. In the event the Company determines that collectibility of straight-line rents is not reasonably assured, the Company limits future recognition to amounts contractually owed, and, where appropriate, the Company establishes an allowance for estimated losses.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, including an allowance for straight-line rent receivables, for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on an ongoing basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements and other factors. For straight-line rent amounts, the Company’s assessment is based on amounts recoverable over the term of the lease. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, the Company had an allowance of $40.3 million and $35.8 million, included in other assets, as a result of the Company’s determination that collectibility is not reasonably assured for certain straight-line rent amounts.

Certain leases provide for additional rents contingent upon a percentage of the facility’s revenue in excess of specified base amounts or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the tenant, or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized in accordance with SAB No. 104, which states that income is recognized only after the contingency has been removed (when the related thresholds are achieved), which may result in the recognition of rent payments in periods subsequent to when such payments are received.

 

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent (“EITF 99-19”). EITF 99-19 requires that these reimbursements be recorded gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the credit risk.

 

The Company uses the direct finance method of accounting to record income from direct financing leases (“DFLs”). For leases accounted for as DFLs, future minimum lease payments are recorded as a receivable. The difference between the future minimum lease payments and the estimated residual values less the cost of the properties is recorded as unearned income. Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease terms to provide a constant yield. Investments in direct financing leases are presented net of unamortized unearned income.

 

The Company receives management fees from its investments in joint venture entities for various services provided as the managing member of the ventures. Management fees are recorded as revenue when management services have been delivered.

 

The Company recognizes gains on sales of properties in accordance with SFAS No. 66 upon the closing of the transaction with the purchaser. Gains on properties sold are recognized using the full accrual method when the collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured, the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient and other profit recognition criteria have been satisfied. Gains on sales of properties may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition under SFAS No. 66 have been met.

 

Real Estate

 

Real estate, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, is recorded at cost. The Company allocates the cost of the acquisition, including the assumption of liabilities, to the acquired tangible assets and identifiable intangibles based on their estimated fair values in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.

 

The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant.

 

The Company records acquired “above and below” market leases at fair value using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and the initial term plus the extended term for any leases with bargain renewal options. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

 

The Company capitalizes direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development or construction of a real estate project. In accordance with SFAS No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Cost and SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, construction and development costs are capitalized while substantive activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have stopped, are expensed as incurred. Costs previously capitalized related to abandoned acquisitions or developments are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

The Company computes depreciation on properties using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Depreciation is discontinued when a property is identified as held for sale. Building and improvements are depreciated over useful lives ranging up to 45 years. Above and below market lease intangibles are amortized primarily to revenue over the remaining noncancellable lease terms and bargain renewal periods, if any. Other in-place lease intangibles are amortized to expense over the remaining noncancellable lease term and bargain renewal periods, if any.

 

Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Loans receivable are classified as held-for-investment based on management’s intent and ability to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or to maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried at amortized cost reduced by a valuation allowance for estimated credit losses. The Company recognizes interest income on loans, including the amortization of discounts and premiums, using the effective interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Premiums and discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the life of the related loans. Loans are transferred from held-for-investment to held-for-sale when management’s intent is to no longer hold the loans for the foreseeable future. Loans held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

 

Allowances are established for loans based upon an estimate of probable losses for the individual loans deemed to be impaired. Impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due on a timely basis in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The allowance is based upon the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record; the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and, if appropriate, the realizable value of any collateral. These estimates consider all available evidence including, as appropriate, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate, the fair value of collateral, general economic conditions and trends, historical and industry loss experience, and other relevant factors.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

 

The Company assesses the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”). If the sum of the expected future net undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset, an impairment loss will be recognized by adjusting the asset’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value.

 

Goodwill is tested at least annually applying the following two-step approach in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The first step of the test is a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit containing goodwill to its carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, then the second step of the test is needed to measure the amount of potential goodwill impairment. The second step requires the fair value of the reporting unit to be allocated to all the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination at the date of the impairment test. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of assets and liabilities is the implied value of goodwill and is used to determine the amount of impairment.

 

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

 

Certain long-lived assets are classified as held-for-sale in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less cost to sell and are no longer depreciated. Discontinued operations is defined in SFAS No. 144 as a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is deemed to be held for sale if, (i) the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction, and (ii) the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation expense is recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments (“SFAS No. 123R”). On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application transition method which provides for only current and future period stock-based awards to be measured and recognized at fair value.

HCP, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006 to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Compensation expense for awards with graded vesting is generally recognized ratably over the period from the date of grant to the date when the award is no longer contingent on the employee providing additional services. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company applied SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure for stock-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by mortgage lenders to provide for future real estate tax expenditures, tenant and capital improvements, security deposits and net proceeds from property sales that were executed as tax-deferred dispositions.

 

Derivatives

 

In the normal course of business, the Company uses certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing or hedging interest rate risk. To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. Hedge effectiveness criteria also require that the occurrence of the underlying transaction or transactions are, and will remain, probable of occurring.

 

The Company applies SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (“SFAS No. 133”). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives required to be bifurcated, as assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria of SFAS No. 133 are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as hedging instruments in qualifying hedging relationships, the change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) whereas the change in fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized in earnings.

 

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes designating all derivatives that are part of a hedging relationship to specific forecasted transactions or recognized assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. The Company also assesses and documents, both at the hedging instrument’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows associated with the hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective as a hedge or the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. The ineffective portion of a hedge, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings to the extent that the change in fair value of a derivative does not effectively offset the change in value of the item being hedged.

 

Income Taxes

 

In 1985, HCP, Inc. elected REIT status and believes it has always operated so as to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, HCP, Inc. will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and its distributions to its stockholders equal or exceed its taxable income. On July 27, 2007, the Company formed HCP Life Science REIT, a consolidated subsidiary, which will elect REIT status for the year ended December 31, 2007 with the filing of its 2007 U.S. federal income tax return. HCP, Inc., along with its consolidated REIT subsidiary, are each subject to the REIT qualification requirements under Sections 856 to 860 of the Code. If either REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years.

HCP, Inc. and HCP Life Science REIT are subject to state and local income taxes in some jurisdictions, and in certain circumstances each REIT may also be subject to federal excise taxes on undistributed income. In addition, certain activities the Company undertakes must be conducted by entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). TRSs are subject to both federal and state income taxes.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company classifies its marketable equity and debt securities as available-for-sale in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. These securities are carried at market value with unrealized gains and losses reported in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method. When the Company determines declines in fair value of marketable securities are other-than-temporary, a realized loss is recognized in earnings.

 

Capital Raising Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of both common and preferred shares are recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs are deferred and included in other assets and amortized to interest expense based on effective interest method over the remaining term of the related debt.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company reports its consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS No. 131”). The Company’s segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by healthcare sector. The Company’s business includes five segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) life science, (iii) medical office, (iv) hospital and (v) skilled nursing.

 

Prior to the Slough Estates USA Inc. (“SEUSA”) acquisition, the Company operated through two reportable segments—triple-net leased and medical office buildings. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of SEUSA, the Company added a significant portfolio of real estate assets under different leasing and property management structures and made corresponding organizational changes. The Company believes the change to its reportable segments is appropriate and consistent with how its chief operating decision maker reviews the Company’s operating results. In addition, in accordance with SFAS No. 131, all prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

Minority Interests and Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments

 

As of March 31, 2008, there were 7.0 million non-managing member units outstanding in seven limited liability companies of which the Company is the managing member: (i) HCPI/Tennessee, LLC; (ii) HCPI/Utah, LLC; (iii) HCPI/Utah II, LLC; (iv) HCPI/Indiana, LLC; (v) HCP DR California, LLC; (vi) HCP DR Alabama, LLC; and (vii) HCP DR MCD, LLC. The Company consolidates these entities since it exercises control and carries the minority interests at cost. The non-managing member LLC Units (“DownREIT units”) are exchangeable for an amount of cash approximating the then-current market value of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). Upon exchange of DownREIT units for the Company’s common stock, the carrying amount of the DownREIT units is reclassified to stockholders’ equity. At March 31, 2008, the carrying value and market value of the 7.0 million DownREIT units were $281.7 million and $321.8 million, respectively. In April 2008, as a result of the non-managing member converting their remaining HCPI/Indiana, LLC DownREIT units, HCPI/Indiana, LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Life Care Bonds Payable

 

Two of the Company’s continuing care retirement communities (“CCRCs”) issue non-interest bearing life care bonds payable to certain residents of the CCRCs. Generally, the bonds are refundable to the resident or to the resident’s estate upon termination or cancellation of the CCRC agreement. One of the Company’s other senior housing facilities requires that certain residents of the facility post non-interest bearing occupancy fee deposits that are refundable to the resident or the resident’s estate upon the earlier of the re-letting of the unit or after two years of vacancy. Proceeds from the issuance of new bonds are used to retire existing bonds. As the maturity of these obligations is not determinable, no interest is imputed. These amounts are included in other debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurement

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented the requirements of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (‘‘SFAS No. 157’’) for its financial assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 refines the definition of fair value, expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements and establishes specific requirements as well as guidelines for a consistent framework to measure fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Further, SFAS No. 157 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements.

 

SFAS No. 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

 

·                  Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

·                  Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

·                  Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company measures fair value using a set of standardized procedures that are outlined herein for all financial assets and liabilities which are required to be measured at fair value. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In some instances where a market price is available, but in an inactive or over-the-counter market where significant fluctuations in pricing can occur, the Company consistently applies the dealer (market maker) pricing estimate and classifies the financial asset or liability in Level 2.

 

If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are based upon valuation models that utilize current market or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads, etc. Items valued using such internally-generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, a financial asset or liability could be classified in either Level 2 or 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Internal models and techniques used by the Company include discounted cash flow interest rate swap and Black Scholes option valuation models.

 

Based on the guidelines of SFAS No. 157, the Company has amended the techniques used in measuring the fair value of derivative and other financial asset and liability positions. These enhancements include, for the first time, the impact of the Company’s or reporting entity’s credit risk on derivative and other liabilities measured at fair value as well as the election of the mid-market pricing expedient outlined in the standard. The implementation of these enhancements and the adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

On February 12, 2008, the FASB amended the implementation of SFAS No. 157 related to non-financial assets and liabilities until fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As a result, the Company has not applied the above fair value procedures to its goodwill and long-lived asset impairment analyses during the current period. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon implementation for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (‘‘SFAS No. 159’’). SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year after November 15, 2007, and subsequent reporting periods thereafter. Currently the Company has not adopted the guidelines of SFAS No. 159 and continues to evaluate whether or not it will in future periods based on industry participant elections and financial reporting consistency with its peers.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed (including intangibles), and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R on January 1, 2009 will require the Company to prospectively expense all transaction costs for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or that date. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS No. 141R to fiscal years preceding the effective date is not permitted. The implementation of this standard on January 1, 2009 could materially impact the Company’s future financial results to the extent that it acquires significant amounts of real estate, as related acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred compared to the current practice of capitalizing such costs and amortizing them over the estimated useful life of the assets acquired.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51 (“SFAS No. 160”), which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and applies prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which applies retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 would have on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the Company’s prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Properties sold or held for sale have been reclassified on the balance sheets and in discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144 (see Note 5). “Tenant recoveries” have been reclassified from “rental and related revenues.” “Income taxes” have been reclassified from “general and administrative” expenses. In addition, in accordance with SFAS No. 131, all prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of SEUSA were recorded at their relative fair values as of the date of the acquisition. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company revised its initial purchase price allocation of its acquired interest in SEUSA, which resulted in the Company reallocating $34 million among buildings and improvements, development costs and construction in progress, land and investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures from its preliminary allocation at December 31, 2007. The changes from the Company’s initial purchase price allocation did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the purchase price allocation is preliminary, and the final purchase price allocation will be determined pending the receipt of information necessary to complete the valuation of certain assets and liabilities, which may result in additional changes from the current estimate.

 

HCP has not identified any material unrecorded pre-acquisition contingencies where an impairment of the related asset or determination of the related liability is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If information becomes available which would indicate it is probable that such events had occurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the final purchase price allocation.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of SEUSA, the Company obtained, from a syndicate of banks, a financing commitment for a $3.0 billion bridge loan under which $2.75 billion was borrowed at closing. Using proceeds from the sales of real estate in August 2007 and capital market transactions consummated in October 2007, the Company made aggregate payments of approximately $1.4 billion, reducing the outstanding principal balance of the bridge loan to $1.35 billion.

 

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of SEUSA are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Certain leases also permit the Company to require the tenants to purchase the properties at the end of the lease terms. Lease payments due to the Company relating to three land-only DFLs with a carrying value of $59.5 million at March 31, 2008, are subordinate to and serve as collateral for first mortgage construction loans entered into by the tenants to fund development costs related to the properties.

The Company has an agreement to provide an affiliate of the Cirrus Group, LLC with an interest only, senior secured term loan. The loan provides for a maturity date of December 31, 2008, with a one-year extension at the option of the borrower, under which $79 million was borrowed to finance the acquisition, development, syndication and operation of new

and existing surgical partnerships. Certain of these surgical partnerships are tenants in the medical office buildings (“MOBs”) owned by the Company and HCP Ventures IV. This loan accrues interest at a rate of 14.0%, of which 9.5% is payable monthly and the balance of 4.5% is deferred until maturity. The loan is subject to equity contribution requirements and borrower financial covenants and is collateralized by assets of the borrower (comprised primarily of interests in partnerships operating surgical facilities in premises leased from a Cirrus affiliate, HCP Ventures IV LLC or the Company) and is guaranteed up to $50 million through a combination of (i) a personal guarantee of up to $13 million by a principal of Cirrus, and (ii) a guarantee of the balance by other principals of Cirrus under arrangements for recourse limited only to their interests in certain entities owning real estate. At March 31, 2008, the carrying value of this loan was $84 million.

 

On December 21, 2007, the Company made an investment in mezzanine loans having an aggregate face value of $1.0 billion, for approximately $900 million, as part of the financing for The Carlyle Group’s $6.3 billion purchase of Manor Care, Inc. These loans bear interest on their face amounts at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 4.0%, mature in January 2013, are pre-payable at any time subject to a yield maintenance fee during the first twelve months. These loans are mandatorily pre-payable in January 2012 unless the borrower satisfies certain financial conditions. The loans are secured by an indirect pledge of the equity ownership in 339 HCR ManorCare facilities located in 30 states and are subordinate to other debt, of approximately $3.6 billion at closing. At March 31, 2008, the carrying value of this loan was $906.8 million.

The marketable securities with gross unrealized losses at March 31, 2008 are not considered to be other-than-temporary impaired as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for the anticipated recovery in market value. The Company’s debt securities accrue interest at interest rates ranging from 9.25% to 9.625%, and mature in November 2016 and April 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company realized gains totaling $1.0 million, which are included in interest and other income, related to the sale of various equity securities.

 

(11) Debt

 

Bank Line of Credit and Bridge Loan

 

The Company’s $1.5 billion revolving line of credit facility matures on August 1, 2011 and can be increased up to $2.0 billion subject to certain conditions, including increased commitments by lenders. This revolving line of credit accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.325% to 1.00%, depending upon the Company’s debt ratings. The Company pays a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment ranging from 0.10% to 0.25%, depending upon the Company’s debt ratings. The revolving line of credit facility contains a negotiated rate option, whereby the lenders participating in the line of credit facility bid on the interest to be charged which may result in a reduced interest rate, and is available for up to 50% of borrowings. Based on the Company’s debt ratings on March 31, 2008, the margin on the revolving line of credit facility was 0.55% and the facility fee was 0.15%. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $1.0 billion outstanding under this credit facility with a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.28% and $481 million of available, unused borrowing capacity. In April 2008, the Company made aggregate payments of $919 million, reducing the outstanding balance of the revolving line of credit facility to $100 million at April 28, 2008.

 

The Company’s bridge loan had an initial balance of $2.75 billion, has an initial maturity date of July 31, 2008 and an extended maturity date of July 31, 2009 upon the exercise by the Company of two optional 6-month extension options, subject to debt covenant compliance and extension fees. The bridge loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.425% to 1.25%, depending upon the Company’s debt ratings (weighted average effective interest rate of 4.0% at March 31, 2008). Based on the Company’s debt ratings on March 31, 2008, the margin on the bridge loan facility is 0.70%. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had an outstanding principal balance on the bridge loan of $1.35 billion.

 

The revolving line of credit facility and bridge loan contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreement, limit the ratio of (i) Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 70%, (ii) Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%, and (iii) Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 80%. The agreement also requires that the Company maintain (i) a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 1.50 times, and (ii) a formula-determined Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. A portion of these financial covenants become more

 

20

restrictive through the period ending March 31, 2009 and ultimately (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%, (ii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 65%, and (iii) require a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 1.75 times. At March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with each of the restrictions and requirements of its revolving line of credit facility and bridge loan.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes

 

At March 31, 2008, the Company had $3.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes outstanding. Interest rates on the notes ranged from 4.88% to 7.07% at March 31, 2008. The weighted average effective interest rate on the senior unsecured notes at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, was 5.99% and 6.18%, respectively. Discounts and premiums are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

 

The senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants including limitations on debt and other customary terms. At March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

 

Mortgage Debt

 

At March 31, 2008, the Company had $1.3 billion in mortgage debt secured by 197 healthcare facilities with a carrying amount of $2.5 billion. Interest rates on the mortgage notes ranged from 2.67% to 9.32% with a weighted average effective rate of 5.95% at March 31, 2008.

 

Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments. Some of the loans are also cross-collateralized by multiple properties. The secured debt is collateralized by deeds of trust or mortgages on certain properties and is generally non-recourse. Mortgage debt encumbering properties typically restricts title transfer of the respective properties subject to the terms of the mortgage, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the properties in good condition, requires maintenance of insurance on the properties and includes a requirement to obtain lender consent to enter into and terminate material tenant leases.

 

Other Debt

 

In connection with the CRP merger on October 5, 2006, the Company assumed non-interest bearing Life Care Bonds at its two CCRCs and non-interest bearing occupancy fee deposits at another of its senior housing facilities, all of which were payable to certain residents of the facilities (collectively “Life Care Bonds”). At March 31, 2008, $39.8 million of the Life Care Bonds were refundable to the residents upon the resident moving out or to their estate upon death, and $66.9 million of the Life Care Bonds were refundable after the unit is successfully remarketed to a new resident.

 

(12)  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings.  From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Regardless of their merits, these matters may force the Company to expend significant financial resources. Except as described below, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes may have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s policy is to accrue legal expenses as they are incurred.

 

On May 3, 2007, Ventas, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, asserting claims of tortious interference with contract and tortious interference with prospective business advantage. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company interfered with Ventas’ purchase agreement with Sunrise Senior Living Real Estate Investment Trust (“Sunrise REIT”); that the Company interfered with Ventas’ prospective business advantage in connection with the Sunrise REIT transaction; and that the Company’s actions caused Ventas to suffer damages, including the payment of over $100 million in additional consideration to acquire the Sunrise REIT assets. Ventas is seeking monetary relief, including compensatory and punitive damages, against the Company. On July 2, 2007, the Company filed its answer to Ventas’ complaint and a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. On December 19, 2007, the court denied the motion to dismiss. The Company believes that Ventas’ claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against Ventas’ lawsuit. On April 8, 2008, the Company filed a motion for leave to assert counterclaims against Ventas as part of the above litigation. HCP’s proposed counterclaims allege, among other things, that Sunrise REIT fraudulently induced HCP to participate in a flawed and unfair auction process, and that absent such

 

21

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

misconduct, HCP would have succeeded in acquiring Sunrise REIT. HCP seeks to recover compensatory and punitive damages. The proposed counterclaims further allege that Ventas, in acquiring Sunrise REIT, assumed the liability of Sunrise REIT. HCP intends to pursue such claims vigorously; however, there can be no assurances that it will prevail on any of the claims or the amount of any recovery that may be awarded. The Company expects that defending its interests and pursuing its own claims in the foregoing matters will require it to expend significant funds. The Company is unable to estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability, gain or financial impact with respect to these matters as of March 31, 2008.

 

In April 2007, the Company and Health Care Property Partners (“HCPP”), a joint venture between the Company and an affiliate of Tenet Healthcare Corporation (“Tenet”), served Tenet and certain Tenet subsidiaries with notices of default with respect to a hospital in Tarzana, California, and two other hospitals that are leased by such affiliates from the Company and HCPP. The notices of default generally relate to deferred maintenance and compliance with legal requirements, including compliance with the requirements of State of California Senate Bill 1953 (“SB 1953”) (further described below). On May 8, 2007, certain subsidiaries of Tenet filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles with respect to the hospital owned by the Company and initiated arbitration actions with respect to the two hospitals owned by HCPP, in each case asserting various causes of action generally relating to such notices of default. Upon Tenet’s failure to fully remedy all of the items set forth in the notices of default to the Company’s satisfaction, the Company, on July 27, 2007, exercised its right to terminate the leases to Tenet of four other hospitals owned by the Company, effective December 31, 2007, invoking cross­default provisions under such leases. On September 24, 2007, Tenet amended its original complaint and added claims by the lessees under the four terminated leases substantially similar to the previously ­filed claims. Tenet’s subsidiaries are seeking declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief, including compensatory and punitive damages, against the Company and HCPP. On October 8, 2007, HCPP responded to the claims by Tenet’s subsidiaries in the arbitration action, raising its own claims against Tenet and the lessees of the two hospitals relating to the matters described in the notices of default, and on October 17, 2007, the Company similarly filed a counterclaim against Tenet and the plaintiffs in the California state court action. On October 16, 2007, Lake Health Care Facilities, Inc., another subsidiary of Tenet and the non-managing general partner of HCPP, filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles in which it alleges that the service of the notices of default upon HCPP’s tenants was a breach of the Company’s fiduciary duties as managing partner of HCPP and that the Company has breached the HCPP partnership agreement. The Company believes that the claims by Tenet’s subsidiaries are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against those claims in the litigation and arbitration proceedings.

 

The parties are presently in settlement discussions, and on February 21, 2008, at the request of the parties, the Court vacated pending hearing and trial dates to accommodate such discussions. Similarly, the parties have submitted a stipulation in the arbitration action seeking to abate that matter to accommodate the settlement discussions. There are no assurances, however, that the parties will reach a settlement. In the event that a settlement among the parties is not reached, the Company will continue to vigorously defend against the claims made by Tenet’s subsidiaries and pursue its own claims against Tenet and its affiliates.

 

State of California Senate Bill 1953.  The hospital owned by the Company in Tarzana, California, which hospital is a subject of the litigation with Tenet described above, is affected by SB 1953, which requires certain seismic safety building standards for acute care hospital facilities. This hospital is operated by Tenet under a lease expiring in February 2009. The Company is currently reviewing the SB 1953 compliance of this hospital, multiple plans of action to cause such compliance, the estimated time for completing the same, and the cost of performing necessary retrofitting of the property. As indicated above, the Company is currently disputing with Tenet responsibility for performance of compliance activities. Rental income from the hospital for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 were $2.1 million and $10.9 million, respectively. At March 31, 2008, the carrying amount of the property was $71.1 million.

 

Development Commitments.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company was committed under the terms of contracts to complete the construction of properties undergoing development at a remaining aggregate cost of approximately $78 million.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk.  Concentration of credit risk arises 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 does not have significant foreign operations.

 

On December 21, 2007, the Company made an investment in mezzanine loans to HCR ManorCare with an aggregate face value of $1.0 billion, for approximately $900 million. At March 31, 2008, these loans represented approximately 78% of our skilled nursing segment assets and 7% of our total segment assets.

At March 31, 2008, the Company leased 81 of its senior housing facilities to nine tenants that have been identified as VIEs (“VIE Tenants”). These VIE Tenants are thinly capitalized corporations that rely on the cash flow generated from the senior housing facilities to pay operating expenses, including rent obligations under their leases. The 81 senior housing facilities leased to the VIE Tenants are operated by Sunrise Senior Living Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (“Sunrise”). Sunrise is publicly traded and is subject to the informational filing requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is required to file periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q with the SEC. However, Sunrise is the subject of a formal SEC investigation. In addition, Sunrise has not filed its periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K subsequent to its form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, which was filed on March 24, 2008.

 

To mitigate credit risk of certain senior housing leases, leases are combined into portfolios that contain cross-default terms, so that if a tenant of any of the properties in a portfolio defaults on its obligations under its lease, the Company may pursue its remedies under the lease with respect to any of the properties in the portfolio. Certain portfolios also contain terms whereby the net operating profits of the properties are combined for the purpose of securing the funding of rental payments due under each lease.

 

DownREIT Partnerships.  In connection with the formation of certain DownREIT partnerships, several partners generally contributed appreciated real estate to the DownREIT in exchange for DownREIT units. These contributions are generally tax-free, so that the pre-contribution gain related to the property is not taxed to the contributing partner. However, if the contributed property is later sold by the partnership, the unamortized pre-contribution gain that exists at the date of sale is specially allocated and taxed to the contributing partners. In many of the DownREITs, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with those partners who contributed appreciated property into the partnership. Under these indemnification agreements, if any of the appreciated real estate contributed by the partners is sold by the partnership in a taxable transaction within a specified number of years after the property was contributed, HCP will reimburse the affected partners for the federal and state income taxes associated with the pre-contribution gain that is specially allocated to the affected partner under the Code (“make-whole payments”). These make-whole payments include a tax gross-up provision.

 

Credit Enhancement Guarantee.  Certain of the Company’s senior housing facilities serve as collateral for $139.3 million of debt (maturing May 1, 2025) that is owed by a previous owner of the facilities. The Company’s obligation under such indebtedness is guaranteed by the debtor who has an investment grade credit rating. These senior housing facilities are classified as DFLs and have a carrying value of $348.3 million at March 31, 2008.

 

Environmental Costs.  The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company carries environmental insurance and believes that the policy terms, conditions, limitations and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice.

 

General Uninsured Losses.  The Company obtains various types of insurance to mitigate the impact of property, business interruption, liability, flood, windstorm, earthquake, environmental and terrorism related losses. The Company attempts to obtain appropriate policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles considering the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war or other events that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. In addition, the Company has a large number of properties that are exposed to earthquake, flood and windstorm and the insurance for such losses carries high deductibles. Should an uninsured loss occur at a property, the Company’s assets may become impaired and the Company may not be able to operate its business at the property for an extended period of time.

(14)  Segment Disclosures

 

The Company evaluates its business and makes resource allocations based on its five business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) life science, (iii) medical office, (iv) hospital, and (v) skilled nursing. Under the senior housing, life science, hospital and skilled nursing segments, the Company invests primarily in single operator or tenant properties through acquisition and development of real estate, secured financing and marketable debt securities of operators in these sectors. Under the medical office segment, the Company invests through acquisition and secured financing in MOBs that are primarily leased under gross or modified gross leases, generally to multiple tenants, and which generally require a greater level of property management. The acquisition of SEUSA on August 1, 2007 resulted in a change to the Company’s reportable segments. Prior to the SEUSA acquisition, the Company operated through two reportable segments—triple-net leased and medical office buildings. The senior housing, life science, hospital and skilled nursing segments were previously aggregated under the Company’s triple-net leased segment. SEUSA’s results are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the Company’s acquisition on August 1, 2007. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described under Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 2). There were no intersegment sales or transfers during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) of the combined properties in each segment.

 

Non-segment assets consist primarily of real estate held for sale and corporate assets including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net and deferred financing costs. Interest expense, depreciation and amortization and non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining the Company’s performance measure. See Note 12 for other information regarding concentrations of credit risk.

(1)          Net Operating Income from Continuing Operations (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate properties. The Company defines NOI as rental revenues, including tenant recoveries and income from direct financing leases, less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes investment management fee income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures, interest and other income, net, minority interests’ share of earnings, income taxes and discontinued operations. The Company believes NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of the Company’s real estate at the property level on an unleveraged basis. The Company uses NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and assess property-level performance. The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income as defined by GAAP since it does not reflect the aforementioned excluded items. Further, the Company’s definition of NOI may not be comparable to that the definition used by other real estate investment trusts, as those companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

 

The following is a reconciliation from NOI to reported net income, the most direct comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

(15)  Derivative Instruments

 

The Company uses derivative instruments as hedges to manage risk associated with interest rate fluctuations on anticipated transactions and recognized obligations. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading purposes.

 

The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market and credit risk. Market risk is defined as the potential for loss in the value of the derivative due to adverse changes in market prices (interest rates). The use of derivative financial instruments allows the Company to manage the risk of increases in interest rates with respect to the effects these fluctuations would have on earnings and cash flows.

 

Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract fails to perform or meet their financial obligation under the contract. The Company does not obtain collateral to support derivative instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of the counterparties, primarily global institutional banks. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of the counterparties to its derivative contracts. However, should a counterparty fail to perform, the Company would incur a financial loss to the extent that the derivative contract was in an asset position.

 

During October and November 2007, the Company entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating $900 million. Both contracts are required to be cash settled by June 30, 2008. The interest rate swap contracts are designated in qualifying, cash flow hedging relationships, to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate component of interest payments on forecasted unsecured, fixed-rate debt expected to be issued in 2008. At March 31, 2008, the fair value of the two contracts were $35.1 million and $16.6 million, and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. All components of the forward-starting interest rate swap contracts were included in the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness. No amounts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income during the current fiscal period.

(17)  Earnings Per Common Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by including the effect of dilutive securities. Options to purchase approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock that had an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were not included because they are not dilutive. Additionally, 9.5 million shares issuable upon conversion of 7.0 million DownREIT units during the three months ended March 31, 2008, were not included since they are anti-dilutive.

Interest rate swaps and common stock warrants are valued using observable and unobservable market assumptions, as well as standardized derivative pricing models.

 

(19) Subsequent Events

 

In connection with HCP’s addition to the S&P 500 Index on March 28, 2008, to partially satisfy the anticipated demand for shares of the Company’s common stock by index funds, the Company issued 12.5 million shares of its common stock on April 2, 2008. In a separate transaction, the Company issued 4.5 million shares to an active REIT-dedicated institutional investor on April 2, 2008. The net proceeds received from these two offerings in the aggregate were approximately $560 million, which were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s revolving line of credit facility.

(h)

 

The risk that we will not be able to sell or lease properties that are currently vacant, at all or at competitive rates;

 

 

 

(i)

 

The financial, legal and regulatory difficulties of significant operators of our properties, including Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. and Tenet Healthcare Corporation;

 

 

 

(j)

 

The risk that we may not be able to integrate acquired businesses successfully or achieve the operating efficiencies and other benefits of acquisitions within expected time-frames or at all, or within expected cost projections;

 

 

 

(k)

 

The ability to obtain financing necessary to consummate acquisitions or on favorable terms; and

 

 

 

(l)

 

The potential impact of existing and future litigation matters, including related developments.

Executive Summary

 

We are a self-administered Maryland corporation organized to qualify as a REIT that, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, invests primarily in real estate serving the healthcare industry in the United States. We acquire, develop, lease, dispose and manage healthcare real estate and provide mortgage and specialty financing to healthcare providers. At March 31, 2008, our real estate portfolio, excluding assets held for sale but including mortgage loans and properties owned by joint ventures, consisted of interests in 721 facilities.

 

Investment Strategy

 

Our business strategy is based on three principles: (i) opportunistic investing; (ii) portfolio diversification; and (iii) conservative financing. We actively redeploy capital from investments with lower return potential into assets with higher return potential and recycle capital from shorter-term to longer-term investments. We make investments where the expected risk-adjusted return exceeds our cost of capital and strive to leverage our operator, tenant and other business relationships.

 

Our strategy contemplates acquiring and developing properties on terms that are favorable to us. We attempt to structure transactions that are tax-advantaged and mitigate risks in our underwriting process. Generally, we prefer larger, more complex private transactions that leverage our management team’s experience and our infrastructure.

 

We follow a disciplined approach to enhancing the value of our existing portfolio, including ongoing evaluation of potential disposition of properties that no longer fit our strategy. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we sold four properties for $30 million. At March 31, 2008, we had 33 properties with a carrying amount of $248 million classified as held for sale.

 

We primarily generate revenue by leasing healthcare properties under long-term leases. Most of our rents and other earned income from leases are received under triple-net leases or leases that provide for substantial recovery of operating expenses; however, some of our MOB and life science leases are structured as gross or modified gross leases. Accordingly, for such MOBs and life science facilities we incur certain property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management fees, utilities and insurance. Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income and other earned income from leases by increasing rental rates and occupancy levels; (ii) maximize tenant recoveries given underlying lease structures; and (iii) control operating and other expenses. Our operations are impacted by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions.

 

Access to external capital on favorable terms is critical to the success of our strategy. Generally, we attempt to match the long-term duration of most of our investments with long-term fixed-rate financing. At March 31, 2008, 38% of our consolidated debt is at variable interest rates, which includes $1.35 billion for the outstanding balance of the bridge loan that was used to finance our acquisition of Slough Estates USA Inc. (“SEUSA”). We intend to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior debt securities and manage various capital ratios and amounts within appropriate parameters. As of March 31, 2008, we had a credit rating of Baa3 (stable) from Moody’s, BBB (negative outlook) from S&P and BBB (stable) from Fitch on our senior unsecured debt securities, and Ba1 (stable) from Moody’s, BBB- (negative outlook) from S&P and BBB- (stable) from Fitch on our preferred securities.

 

30



 

Access to capital markets impacts our ability to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and fund future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional securities. Our ability to access capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our securities, perception of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, and the market price of our capital stock.

 

2008 Transaction Overview

 

Investment Transactions

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we sold four properties for approximately $30 million. These sales were made from the following segments: (i) 90% skilled nursing, and (ii) 10% senior housing.

 

In April 2008, we sold 17 properties for approximately $306 million. These sales were made from the following segments: (i) 95% hospital, and (ii) 5% senior housing.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we acquired a senior housing facility for $11 million and funded construction and other capital projects aggregating to $49 million, primarily in our life science segment.

 

Financing Transactions

 

In connection with HCP’s addition to the S&P 500 Index on March 28, 2008, to partially satisfy the anticipated demand for shares of our common stock by index funds, we issued 12.5 million shares of our common stock on April 2, 2008. In a separate transaction, we issued 4.5 million shares to an active REIT-dedicated institutional investor on April 2, 2008. The net proceeds we received from these two offerings in the aggregate were approximately $560 million, which were used to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness under our revolving line of credit facility.

 

Dividends

 

On April 24, 2008, we announced that our Board declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.455 per share. The common stock dividend will be paid on May 19, 2008 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 5, 2008.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. For a description of the risks associated with our critical accounting policies, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business” as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2007. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Results of Operations

 

We evaluate our business and allocate resources among our five business segments: (i) senior housing, (ii) life science, (iii) medical office, (iv) hospital, and (v) skilled nursing. Under the senior housing, life science, hospital and skilled nursing segments, we invest primarily in single operator or tenant properties through the acquisition and development of real estate, secured financing, mezzanine financing and investment in marketable debt securities of operators in these sectors. Under the medical office segment, we invest through acquisition and secured financing in MOBs that are leased under gross or modified gross leases, generally to multiple tenants, and which generally require a greater level of property management. The acquisition of SEUSA on August 1, 2007 resulted in a change to our reportable segments. Prior to the SEUSA acquisition, we operated through two reportable segments—triple-net leased and medical office buildings. The senior housing, life science, hospital and skilled nursing segments were previously aggregated under our triple-net leased segment. SEUSA’s results are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition of August 1, 2007. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

31



 

We completed our acquisition of SEUSA on August 1, 2007 and SEUSA’s results of operations are reflected in our consolidated financial statements from that date. We expect increases in revenues, expenses and interest income from a full year of results from our SEUSA acquisition and mezzanine loan investments for the remaining periods of 2008 relative to the comparable periods prior to the date that the investments were made in 2007. In addition, we expect that the 17 million common shares we issued on April 2, 2008 will have a dilutive effect on per share amounts in future periods.

 

Our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are summarized as follows:

Senior housing. Approximately $0.7 million of the increase in senior housing rental and related revenues relates to the additive effect of our acquisitions during 2007 and 2008. The remaining increase in senior housing rental and related revenues primarily relates to rent escalations and resets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Included in senior housing rental and related revenues were facility-level operating revenues for five senior housing properties that were previously leased on a triple-net basis. From time to time, tenants default on their leases, which causes us to take possession of the operations of the facility. We contract with third-party managers to manage these properties until a replacement tenant can be identified or the property can be sold. The operating revenues and expenses for these properties are included in senior housing rental and related revenues and operating expenses, respectively. The increase in reported revenues for these facilities of $0.4 million, to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was primarily due to an increase in overall occupancy of such properties.

 

 

 

 

 

·

 

Life science. Life science rental and related revenues increased primarily as a result of our acquisition of SEUSA on August 1, 2007.

 

 

 

 

 

·

 

Medical office. Medical office rental and related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 includes $13.3 million from assets that are no longer consolidated and are now in our HCP Ventures IV, LLC joint venture (“HCP Ventures IV”). On April 30, 2007, we sold an 80% interest in Ventures IV and began accounting for our retained interest as an equity method investment. However, due to our continued interest in Ventures IV, 2007 results of operations have not been reclassified to discontinued operations. The decrease in medical office rental and related revenues resulting from Ventures IV was primarily offset by the additive effect of our Medical City Dallas campus acquisition on February 9, 2007.

Hospital. The increase in hospital rental and related revenues primarily relates to the additive effect of our Medical City Dallas campus acquisition on February 9, 2007.

Medical office. Medical office tenant recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2007 includes $2.8 million from assets that are no longer consolidated and are now in HCP Ventures IV, which have not been reclassified to discontinued operations.

·

 

Hospital. The increase in hospital tenant recoveries primarily relates to the additive effect of our Medical City Dallas campus acquisition on February 9, 2007.

 

Investment management fee income.  Investment management fee income decreased by $4.8 million to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in investment management fee income was primarily due to the one-time acquisition fees of $5.4 million earned from our HCP Ventures II unconsolidated joint venture on January 5, 2007. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in management fees related to HCP Ventures IV.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense increased $17.6 million to $96.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to (i) $12 million of interest expense from the issuance of $1.1 billion of senior unsecured notes during 2007, and (ii) $19 million from the increase in outstanding indebtedness under our bridge loan and line of credit facilities, and the related amortization of debt issuance costs. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by (i) a $9 million increase in the amount of capitalized interest relating to the increase in assets under development primarily from our acquisition of SEUSA, and (ii) $5 million related to a decrease in our outstanding mortgage debt resulting primarily form the deconsolidation of HCP Ventures IV and scheduled maturities.

Operating expenses are predominantly related to MOB and life science properties where we incur the expenses and recover a portion of those expenses from the tenants. The presentation of expenses as operating or general and administrative is based on the underlying nature of the expense. Periodically, we review the classification of expenses between categories and make revisions based on changes in the underlying nature of the expense.

 

·                  Senior housing.  Included in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is $1.3 million related to a vacant property located in Florida, which was leased as of March 31, 2008 on a triple-net basis. During 2008, we did not incur operating expenses on this property.

 

Included in operating expenses are facility-level operating expenses for five senior housing properties that were previously leased on a triple-net basis. From time to time, tenants default on their leases, which causes us to take possession of the operations of the facility. We contract with third-party managers to manage these properties until a replacement tenant can be identified or the property can be sold. The operating revenues and expenses for these properties are included in healthcare rental revenues and operating expenses, respectively. The increase in reported operating expenses for these facilities of $0.2 million, to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was primarily due to an increase in the overall occupancy of such properties.

 

·                  Life science.  Life science operating expenses increased primarily as a result of our acquisition of SEUSA on August 1, 2007.

 

·                  Medical office.  Medical office operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 includes $5.3 million from assets that are no longer consolidated and are now in HCP Ventures IV, which have not been reclassified to discontinued operations. The decrease in medical office tenant recoveries resulting from Ventures IV was partially offset by the additive effect of our Medical City Dallas campus acquisition on February 9, 2007.

 

General and administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million to $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Included in general and administrative expenses are merger and integration-related expenses associated with the SEUSA acquisition of $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.7 million associated with the CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. merger for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Excluding the merger and integration-related expenses, the increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to various items, including increased compensation related expenses, and professional and legal fees.

 

The information set forth under the heading “Legal Proceedings” of Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Interest and other income, net.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, interest and other income, net increased $20.9 million, to $35.3 million. This increase was primarily related to $22.7 million of interest income from our HCR ManorCare mezzanine loan investment made in December 2007 and was partially offset by a decrease in gains from the sale of marketable equity securities. For a more detailed description of our mezzanine loan investment and marketable securities, see Note 7 and Note 10, respectively, of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

34



 

Discontinued operations.  The decrease of $103.9 million in income from discontinued operations to $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $121.1 million for the comparable period in the prior year is primarily due to a decrease in gains on real estate dispositions of $93.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we sold four properties for $29.7 million, as compared to 27 properties for $170.0 million in the year ago period. Discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included 37 properties compared to 134 properties for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal liquidity needs are to: (i) fund normal operating expenses, (ii) repay the remaining $1.35 billion of SEUSA acquisition-related borrowings, (iii) meet debt service requirements, including $300 million of our senior unsecured notes maturing in 2008 and outstanding borrowings on our line of credit, (iv) fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs, (v) fund acquisition and development activities, and (vi) make minimum distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification under the Code. We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flows generated by operations, provided by financing activities, sales of assets and/or contributions of assets to joint ventures during the next twelve months.

 

Access to capital markets impacts our cost of capital and our ability to refinance maturing indebtedness, as well as to fund future acquisitions and development through the issuance of additional securities or secured debt. Our ability to access capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our securities, perception of our potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of our capital stock. As of March 31, 2008, we had a credit rating of Baa3 (stable) from Moody’s, BBB (negative outlook) from S&P and BBB (stable) from Fitch on our senior unsecured debt securities, and Ba1(stable) from Moody’s, BBB- (negative outlook) from S&P and BBB- (stable) from Fitch on our preferred securities.

 

We strive to maintain investment grade credit ratings on our senior debt securities. From time to time, we have financed significant entity level acquisitions such as CRP and SEUSA using shorter term bridge and term loan facilities with the intent to repay or refinance these borrowings with cash flows generated by our operations and the proceeds from future asset sales, joint venture contributions, and future debt and equity capital market transactions. This results in increased leverage ratios until such financing is repaid or refinanced. Our outstanding bridge loan which funded our acquisition of SEUSA, as well as our revolving line of credit facility, have financial covenants that become more restrictive over their terms. We are required to manage our leverage and capital structure to maintain compliance with such covenants.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $132 million and $87 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash flows from operations reflect increased revenues partially offset by higher costs and expenses, and fluctuations in receivables, payables, accruals and deferred revenue. Our cash flows from operations are dependent upon the occupancy level of multi-tenant buildings, rental rates on leases, our tenants’ performance on their lease obligations, the level of operating expenses and other factors.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $21 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and principally reflects the net effect of: (i) $43 million used to fund acquisitions and development of real estate, and (ii) $30 million received from the sales of facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we used $18 million and $8 million, respectively, to fund lease commissions and tenant and capital improvements.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and included: (i) payments of common and preferred dividends aggregating $104 million, (ii) repayment of our mortgage debt aggregating $12 million, and (iii) distributions to minority interest holders of $7 million. The amount of cash used in financing activities was partially offset by proceeds of $67 million of net borrowings under our line of credit facility. In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders. Accordingly, we intend to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our common and preferred stock.

 

On April 2, 2008, we raised approximately $560 million in capital through the issuance of 17 million shares of our common stock. The net proceeds from the issuances of common stock were used to partially repay outstanding indebtedness under our revolving line of credit facility.

 

At March 31, 2008, we held approximately $26 million in deposits and $38 million in irrevocable letters of credit from commercial banks securing tenants’ lease obligations and borrowers’ loan obligations. We may draw upon the letters of credit or depository accounts if there are defaults under the related leases or loans. Amounts available under letters of credit could change based upon facility operating conditions and other factors, and such changes may be material.

Debt

 

Bank line of credit and bridge loan.  Our revolving line of credit facility has a $1.5 billion capacity, matures on August 1, 2011 and can be increased to $2.0 billion subject to certain conditions, including increased commitments by lenders. This revolving line of credit facility accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.325% to 1.00%, depending upon our debt ratings. We pay a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment ranging from 0.10% to 0.25%, depending upon our debt ratings. The revolving line of credit facility contains a negotiated rate option, whereby the lenders participating in the line of credit facility bid on the interest to be charged, which may result in a reduced interest rate, and is available for up to 50% of borrowings. Based on our debt ratings on March 31, 2008, the margin on the revolving line of credit facility was 0.55% and the facility fee was 0.15%. At March 31, 2008, we had $1.0 billion outstanding under this credit facility with a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.28% and $481 million of available, unused borrowing capacity. In April 2008, we made aggregate payments of $919 million, reducing the outstanding balance of the revolving line of credit facility to $100 million at April 28, 2008.

 

At March 31, 2008, the outstanding balance of our bridge loan was $1.35 billion. Our bridge loan has an initial maturity date of July 31, 2008, and an extended maturity date of July 31, 2009 upon the exercise by us of two optional 6-month extension options, subject to debt covenant compliance, and extension fees. This bridge loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.425% to 1.25%, depending upon our debt ratings (weighted average effective interest rate of 4.0% at March 31, 2008). Based on our debt ratings on March 31, 2008, the margin on the bridge loan facility was 0.70%

 

Our revolving line of credit facility and bridge loan contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreement, limit the ratio of (i) Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 70%, (ii) Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%, and (iii) Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 80%. The agreement also requires that we maintain (i) a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 1.50 times, and (ii) a formula-determined Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. A portion of these financial covenants become more restrictive through the period ending March 31, 2009 and ultimately (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%, (ii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 65%, and (iii) require a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 1.75 times. At March 31, 2008, we were in compliance with each of these restrictions and requirements of our credit revolving credit facility and bridge loan.

 

Senior unsecured notes.  At March 31, 2008, we had $3.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes outstanding. Interest rates on the notes ranged from 4.88% to 7.07% with a weighted average rate of 5.99% at March 31, 2008. Discounts and premiums are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

 

Mortgage debt.  At March 31, 2008, we had $1.3 billion in mortgage debt secured by 197 healthcare facilities with a carrying amount of $2.5 billion. Interest rates on the mortgage notes ranged from 2.67% to 9.32% with a weighted average rate of 5.95% at March 31, 2008.

 

Other debt.  At March 31, 2008, we had $106.7 million of non-interest bearing Life Care Bonds at two of our CCRCs and non-interest bearing occupancy fee deposits at another of our senior housing facilities, all of which were payable to certain residents of the facilities (collectively “Life Care Bonds”). At March 31, 2008, $39.8 million of the Life Care Bonds were refundable to the residents upon the resident moving out or to their estate upon death, and $66.9 million of the Life Care Bonds were refundable after the unit is successfully remarketed to a new resident.

 

Derivative Instruments.  During October and November 2007, we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating $900 million to hedge the benchmark interest rate component of anticipated interest payments resulting from forecasted issuances of unsecured, fixed rate debt. The derivative instruments have a mandatory cash settlement date of June 30, 2008. We expect to settle the forward-starting interest rate swap contracts in cash at the earlier of our fixed rate financing or June 30, 2008. If the fixed rate of the derivative instrument is greater than the current swap rate at the time we settle each contract, we would be required to make a payment to the contract counterparty. However, if the fixed rate of the derivative instrument is less than the current swap rate at the time we cash settle each contract, we would receive a payment from the contract counterparty. For a more detailed description of our derivative financial instruments, see Note 15 of the Condensed. Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Equity

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we issued approximately 174,000 shares of our common stock under our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, at an average price per share of $29.09, for aggregate proceeds of $5.1 million. We also received $1.3 million in proceeds from stock option exercises. At March 31, 2008, stockholders’ equity totaled $4.0 billion and our equity securities had a market value of $7.6 billion.

 

On April 2, 2008, we issued 17 million shares of our common stock and used the net proceeds received of approximately $560 million to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness under our revolving line of credit facility.

 

At March 31, 2008, there were a total of 7.0 million non-managing member LLC Units (“DownREIT units”) outstanding in seven limited liability companies in which we are the managing member: (i) HCPI/Tennessee, LLC; (ii) HCPI/Utah, LLC; (iii) HCPI/Utah II, LLC; (iv) HCPI/Indiana, LLC; (v) HCP DR California, LLC; (vi) HCP DR Alabama, LLC; and (vii) HCP DR MCD, LLC. The DownREIT units are redeemable for an amount of cash approximating the then-existing market value of shares of our common stock or, at our option, shares of our common stock (subject to certain adjustments, such as stock splits and reclassifications). In April 2008, as a result of the non-managing member converting its remaining HCPI/Indiana, LLC DownREIT units, HCPI/Indiana, LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We own interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures, including HCP Ventures II, HCP Ventures III, LLC and HCP Ventures IV, as described under Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Except in limited circumstances, our risk of loss is limited to our investment in the joint venture and any outstanding loans receivable. In addition, we have certain properties which serve as collateral for debt that is owed by a previous owner of certain of our facilities, as described under Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our risk of loss for these certain properties is limited to the outstanding debt balance plus penalties, if any. We have no other material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources except those described below under “Contractual Obligations.”

Inflation

 

Our leases often provide for either fixed increases in base rents or indexed escalators, based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures, and/or additional rent based on increases in the tenants’ operating revenues. Substantially all of our MOB leases require the tenant to pay a share of property operating costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities. Substantially all of our senior housing, life science, skilled nursing and hospital leases require the operator or tenant to pay all of the property operating costs or reimburse us for all such costs. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be offset, in part, by the operator or tenant expense reimbursements and contractual rent increases described above.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk.  At March 31, 2008, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on approximately: (i) $1.0 billion of variable rate line of credit borrowings, (ii) $1.35 billion of variable rate bridge financing, (iii) $196 million of variable rate mortgage notes payable, (iv) $325 million of variable rate senior unsecured notes, and (v) $1.0 billion of variable rate mezzanine loans receivable. Of the $196 million of variable rate mortgage notes payable outstanding, $46 million has been hedged through interest rate swap contracts. Of our consolidated debt of $7.6 billion at March 31, 2008, excluding the $46 million of variable rate debt where the rates have been swapped to a fixed rate, approximately 38% is at variable interest rates. In April 2008, we made aggregate payments of $919 million, reducing the outstanding balance of our revolving line of credit facility to $100 million at April 28, 2008.

 

Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt, loans receivable or debt securities unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. Conversely, changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and loans receivable would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. Assuming a one percentage point increase in the interest rate related to the variable-rate debt and variable-rate loans, and assuming no change in the outstanding balances as of March 31, 2008, interest expense, net of interest income, for 2008 would increase by approximately $29 million, or $0.13 per common share on a diluted basis.

 

We use derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage or hedge interest rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. See Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information in this regard.

To illustrate the effect of movements in the interest rate markets, we performed a market sensitivity analysis on the noted hedging instruments. To do so, we applied various basis point spreads to the underlying interest rates of the derivative portfolio in order to determine the instruments’ change in fair value.

We assess the hedged instruments on an ongoing basis to determine whether the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows associated with the hedged items. If we determine that a portion of these instruments are no longer effective or change the estimated timing of forecasted transactions, we may recognize portions of the fair value of the derivatives in earnings, which could be significant to our results of operations.

 

Market Risk.  We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in equity and bond markets. We have investments in marketable debt and equity securities classified as available for sale. Gains and losses on these securities are recognized in income when realized and other-than-temporary impairment may be periodically recorded when identified. The initial indicator of impairment for marketable equity securities is a sustained decline in market price below the cost basis recorded for that investment. We consider a variety of factors, such as: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; the issuer’s financial condition, capital strength and near-term prospects; any recent events specific to that issuer and economic conditions of its industry; and our investment horizon in relation to an anticipated near-term recovery in the stock or bond price, if any. At March 31, 2008, the fair value of marketable equity securities was $8.3 million and cost basis, or the new basis for those securities where a realized loss was recorded as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment, was $13.9 million. At March 31, 2008, the fair value of marketable debt securities was $283.1 million, with a cost basis of $275 million. We believe that we have the intent and ability to hold our marketable equity securities that have unrealized losses for a period of time sufficient to allow the anticipated recovery in market value. However, we may determine in future periods, based on the market price of the investments or other factors, that such unrealized losses are other-than-temporary and realize the losses in earnings, which could be significant to our results of operations.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. Our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

 

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
