COVID-19 Pandemic

In January 2020, the Secretary of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) declared a national public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus. In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19, a disease caused by this coronavirus (“COVID-19”), as a pandemic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), older adults and people with certain underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19. CDC has identified nursing home populations as being at high risk of being affected by pathogens like COVID-19 as a result of the congregate nature of nursing homes and the resident population served.
2.CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim consolidated financial statementsCenters for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and the CDC have issued guidance to state and local governments and long-term care facilities to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. For example, on March 13, 2020, CMS issued a memorandum directing long-term care facilities to significantly restrict visitors and nonessential workers and to restrict communal activities, among other measures. On May 18, 2020, CMS provided “reopening” recommendations for state and local officials to determine the level of mitigation needed to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in nursing homes, including criteria for relaxing various restrictions. CMS has also announced COVID-19 reporting requirements and focused infection control surveys intended to assess long-term care facility compliance with infection control requirements in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. CDC guidance includes infection prevention and control practices intended to protect both nursing home residents and healthcare personnel.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which includes, among other things, modifications to the limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions relative to the payment of Federal income taxes, allows an optional payment deferral of the employer's portion of Social Security taxes that are otherwise due through December 31, 2020. These provisions of the CARES Act were effective after the date of enactment and also include the operationsappropriation of stimulus funds to Medicare and accounts of Diversicare HealthcareMedicaid providers. On April 24, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act ("PPPHCE Act") was enacted, which provides for additional emergency appropriations for COVID-19 response.
Together, the CARES Act and PPPHCE Act authorize $175 billion in funding to healthcare entities to be distributed through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("PHSSEF"), also known as the Provider Relief Fund. Payments from PHSSEF are intended to compensate providers for lost revenues and its subsidiaries, all wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accountshealthcare-related expenses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic only. As long as the recipient has sufficient COVID-19 attributable expenses and transactionslost revenues between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 and complies with certain terms and conditions, these payments are not required to be repaid. The terms and conditions include, among others, requirements to comply with certain reporting requirements, limitations on balance billing and restrictions against using PHSSEF funds to reimburse expenses or losses that have been eliminatedreimbursed from other sources or that other sources are obligated to reimburse. Despite signaling in consolidation.September that the use of PPSSEF payments to support lost revenues would be capped at 2019 profits, on October 22, 2020 HHS revised its guidance to indicate that PPSSEF payments may be used to support COVID-19 lost revenues up to the provider's 2019 patient care revenues. On October 28, 2020, HHS released additional guidance related to how recipients should calculate COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues. Currently, the Company is utilizing these funds to compensate for lost revenues and pay for permissible expenses, including but are not limited to increased wages and increased costs for personal protective equipment and other supplies. The Company had one equity method investee, which was soldis still evaluating the most recent guidance; however, the Company currently anticipates, but cannot guarantee, that it will have sufficient COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues to retain the PPSSEF payments it has received to date. The Company will not be able to determine the amount of used funds until the reporting rules are finalized by the federal
12


government, and the Company knows the full extent of its COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues. There also can be no assurance that the PHSSEF funds will ultimately be enough to reimburse the Company for the full extent of its COVID-19 attributable expenses.
In addition, we may experience supply chain disruptions, including delays and price increases in equipment, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies. Staffing, equipment, and pharmaceutical and medical supplies shortages may impact our ability to admit and treat patients. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, increased expenses arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. We have also experienced reduced occupancy in our centers, in part due to perceived risks by patients and family members of residential care and their perception of restrictions such as limited visitation policies, a reduction in patients released to nursing homes from hospitals and other healthcare facilities, and a general reluctance to seek medical care or interface with the healthcare system during the fourth quarterpandemic or for an undetermined period of 2016. The Company's sharetime. Occupancy may also be affected by the data each nursing home is required to report, including the number of confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 and resident deaths related to COVID-19, which is made publicly available through the CDC National Healthcare Safety Network.
Since the end of the profitsquarter, there have been additional cases of COVID-19 at certain of our centers. The Company has continued to experience reduced occupancy and losses from this investment are reported as equity in earnings of investment in an unconsolidated affiliate and the proceeds received from the sale are reported under the heading "Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated affiliate"increased operating expenses at its centers in the accompanying interim consolidated statementsform of operations.increased wages and increased cost for personal protective equipment, food and certain other supplies. The sale resulted in a $1,366,000 gain inCompany expects such increased expenses to continue and likely increase further during the fourth quarterremainder of 2016. Subsequently, the Company recognized an additional gain of $733,0002020.

2.    CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2019.
Reclassifications

3.RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenue and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance, including guidance specificA certain reclassification has been made to the healthcare industry. Topic 606 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt the requirements of this standard effective January 1, 2018. The new standard may be applied retrospectively to each period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized in beginning retained earnings as of the date of adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company will elect to apply the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. Additionally, the new guidance requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from patient contracts, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations, assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain and fulfill a contract, and significant judgments in measurement and recognition. The Company is determining the impact of adopting Topic 606 on its revenue recognition policies, procedures and control framework and the resulting impact on itscondensed consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows. The Company is in the process of reviewing revenue sources and evaluating the patient account population to determine the appropriate distribution of patient accounts into portfolios with similar collection experience that, when evaluated for collectability, will result in a materially consistent revenue amount for such portfolios as if each patient account was evaluated on a contract-by-contract basis. We expect to complete this process in 2017. The Company is also in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on various


reimbursement programs that represent variable consideration, including settlements with government payors, state Medicaid programs and bundled payment of care programs. Due to the many forms of calculation and reimbursement that these programs take that vary from state to state, the application of the new standard could have an impact on the revenue recognized for variable consideration. We expect to complete our assessment on variable considerations in 2017. Industry guidance is continuing to develop, and any conclusions in the final industry guidance that is inconsistent with the Company's application could result in changes to the Company's expectations regarding the impact of the new standard on the Company's financial statements. Additionally, the adoption of the new standard will impact the presentation on the Company's statement of operations. After the adoption, the majority of what is currently classified as bad debt expense will be reflected as an implicit price concession as defined in the standard and therefore an adjustment to net patient revenues.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on the Company's balance sheets. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17 as of January 1, 2017, and the new standard was applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $7,644,000 reclassification between current deferred income taxes and non-current deferred income taxessheet as of December 31, 2016.
In February 2016,2019 to conform to the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liabilitySeptember 30, 2020 presentation. Supplies of $710 are now presented separately from "other current assets" on the December 31, 2019 consolidated balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Disclosures will be required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We anticipate this standard will have a materialsheet. This reclassification had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact relatestotal assets, shareholders' deficit, net income or net cash flows.
CARES Act and PPPHCE Act Funds
The Company implemented certain changes to our accounting policies related to the recognition of stimulus funds through the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act. There is no U.S. GAAP that explicitly covers accounting for buildinggovernment "grants" to for-profit entities with the exception of certain agricultural subsidies. In the absence of authoritative U.S. GAAP guidance, the Company considered the application of other authoritative accounting guidance by analogy and equipmentconcluded that the guidance outlined in International Accounting Standard 20 - Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance ("IAS 20") was the most appropriate analogy for the purpose of recording and classifying the federal stimulus funds received by the Company. Under IAS 20, once it is reasonably assured that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant, the grant money should be recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses for which the grant money is intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once both of the following conditions are met: (1) the Company is able to comply with the relevant conditions of the grant and (2) the grant will be received. Federal stimulus funds that are recognized to offset healthcare related expenses and lost revenue attributable to COVID-19 are reflected as "other operating leasesincome" on the accompanying interim consolidated statement of operations. Federal stimulus funds received and used toward capital improvements that assist with the response to and prevention and spread of COVID-19 is accounted for as a capital grant. For such an asset acquired with the use of a stimulus funds, the
13


Company will recognize the asset as a net zero asset. Refer to Note 4, "COVID-19 Pandemic" to the interim consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.
Additionally, the Company has received Medicaid stimulus funds, which are recognized in accordance with ASC 606. Refer to Note 5, "Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable" to the interim consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.
Discontinued Operations
On December 1, 2018, the Company sold 3 Kentucky properties for $18,700, which are collectively referred to as the "Kentucky Properties." On August 30, 2019, the Company terminated operations of 10 centers in Kentucky and concurrently transferred operations to a new operator. These 10 centers are collectively referred to as the "Kentucky Centers." The sale of the Kentucky Properties and the termination of operations at the Kentucky Centers are referred to collectively as the "Kentucky Exit." As a result in a significant increaseof the Kentucky Exit, the Company no longer operates any skilled nursing centers in the assets and liabilitiesState of Kentucky. The Company's exit from the state represented a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the consolidated balance sheet.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU was issued as part of the FASB Simplification Initiative and involves several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on ourCompany's financial position, results of operations orand cash flows. In accordance with ASC 205, the Company's discontinued operating results have been reclassified on the face of the financial statements and footnotes for all periods presented to reflect the discontinued status of these operations. Refer to Note 13, "Discontinued Operations" for more information.

3.    RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Accounting Standards Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted by the Company
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update is intendedThe new guidance intends to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. This update requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. This standard is effective for smaller reporting companies for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 20192022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact from the adoption of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements and related notes.disclosures.
In August 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 230)848). The ASU provides clarification regarding how certain cash receiptsnew guidance contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.other contracts. The guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The ASU No. 2020-04 is effective for annualoptional and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions inmay be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company continues to evaluate changes in the market and may apply other elections, as applicable, in the future as allowed under ASU No. 2020-04.

4. COVID-19 PANDEMIC
As of September 30, 2020, the Company has received $42,274 from the PHSSEF, and recognized $9,563 and $14,711 as income, which is reflected in "other operating income" in the Company's results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company utilized $898 of these stimulus dollars to fund capital improvements to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The remaining stimulus funds of $27,157 as of September 30, 2020 are classified as "deferred income" on the interim consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act provided states with a retrospective approach. Early adoptiontemporary increase in the regular federal matching rate, or federal medical assistance percentage, used to determine the federal government's share of the cost of covered services in state Medicaid programs, provided the states agreed to certain conditions such as not imposing cost-sharing requirements for COVID-19-related testing and treatment. The Company recognized $6,645 and $11,709 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively, of Medicaid and Hospice dollars related to this temporary increase in the federal matching rate, which related to patient services rendered between March and September 2020 and is permitted. reflected in "patient revenues, net" in the Company's results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020.
The Company initially elected to participate in the payment deferral of the employer's portion of Social Security taxes. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company ceased the deferral election and paid $3,185. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has no remaining liability related to the payment deferral and does not expect to participate in the payment deferral going forward.
The CARES Act also includes other provisions offering financial relief, for example lifting the Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, which would have otherwise reduced payments to Medicare providers by 2%. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, the suspension of the Medicare sequestration positively impacted net patient revenues by $724 and $1,031, respectively.
The Company incurred an additional $6,595 of salaries expense, $5,801 of supplies expense and $276 of travel expense related to the COVID-19 pandemic for the three month period ended September 30, 2020. The Company incurred an additional $9,376 of salaries expense, $7,237 of supplies expense and $379 of travel expense related to the COVID-19 pandemic for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020. These expenses are reflected in "operating expense" in the Company's results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020.
The Company is currentlyclosely monitoring and evaluating the impact this standard willof the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. We have onidentified team members and patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 at a number of our consolidated financial statements.

Nevertheless, the Company expects additional COVID-19 cases will occur at our facilities. The Company is still evaluatingcontinuing to evaluate and consider the effect, if any, the standard willpotential impact that COVID-19 may have on the Company's consolidatedits liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. operations due to numerous uncertainties. However, given the uncertainty as to the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the timing and availability of effective medical treatment and vaccines, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

5. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company's revenue is derived from providing quality healthcare services to its patients. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. The promise to provide quality care is accounted for as a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, when those services are rendered.
The Company will evaluate future acquisitions under this guidance, which may result in future acquisitions being asset acquisitions.


In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The amended standard specifies the modification accounting applicable to any entity which changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The new guidance is effective for all entities after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not presently believe adoption of this new standard will be material to its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which is intended to simplify and amendperformed analyses using the application of hedge accountingthe portfolio approach as a practical expedient to more clearly portraygroup patient contracts with similar characteristics, such that revenue for a given portfolio would not be materially different than if it were evaluated on a contract-by-contract basis. These analyses incorporated consideration of reimbursements at varying rates from Medicaid, Medicare, Managed Care, Private Pay, Assisted Living, Hospice, and Veterans for services provided in each corresponding state. It was determined that the economicscontracts are not materially different for the following groups: Medicaid, Medicare, Managed Care and Private Pay and other (Assisted Living, Hospice and Veterans).

4.LONG-TERM DEBT AND INTEREST RATE SWAP
The Company has agreements with a syndicate of banks for a mortgage term loan ("Original Mortgage Loan") and the Company’s revolving credit agreement ("Original Revolver").
6.    LONG-TERM DEBT AND INTEREST RATE SWAP
On February 26, 2016, the Company executed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks, which modified the termsconsists of the Original Mortgage Loan and the Original Revolver Agreements dated April 30, 2013. The Credit Agreement increases the Company's borrowing capacity to $100,000,000 allocated between a $72,500,000 Mortgage Loan$80,000 mortgage loan subsequently amended ("Amended Mortgage Loan") and a $27,500,000 Revolver$52,250 revolver subsequently amended ("Amended Revolver"). The Amended Mortgage Loan consists of a $60,000,000 term loan facility and a $12,500,000 acquisition loan facility. Loan acquisition costs associated with the Amended Mortgage Loan and the Amended Revolver were capitalized in the amount of $2,162,000 and are being amortized over the five-year term of the agreements.
Under the terms of the amended agreements, the syndicate of banks provided the Amended Mortgage Loan with an original principal balance of $72,500,000 withboth have a five-year maturity through February 26, 2021, and a $27,500,000 Amended Revolver through February 26,September 30, 2021. The Amended Mortgage Loan has aconsists of $67,500 term of five years, withand $12,500 acquisition loan facilities. The Amended Mortgage Loan requires monthly principal and interest payablepayments monthly based on a 25-year amortization. Interest on the term and acquisition loan facilities is based on LIBOR plus 4.0% and 4.75%, respectively. A portion of the Amended Mortgage Loan is effectively fixed at 5.79% pursuant to an interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $30,000,000.$30,000. The Amended Mortgage Loan balance was $67,525,000$59,585 as of September 30, 2017,2020, consisting of $65,025,000$48,185 on the term loan facility with an interest rate of 5.25%4.50% and $2,500,000$11,400 on the acquisition loan facility with an interest rate of 6.0%5.25%. The Amended Mortgage Loan is secured by eighteen15 owned nursing centers, related equipment and a lien on the accounts receivable of these centers. The Amended Mortgage Loan and the Amended Revolver are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. The Company’s Amended Revolver has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.0% and is secured by accounts receivable and is subject to limits on the maximum amount of loans that can be outstanding under the revolver based on borrowing base restrictions.
Effective October 3, 2016,In connection with the sale of the Kentucky Properties, the Company entered into the SecondSixth Amendment ("Second Revolver Amendment") to amend the Amended Revolver. The Second Revolver Amendment increased the Amended Revolver capacity from the $27,500,000 in the Amended Revolver to $52,250,000; provided that the maximum revolving facility be reduced to $42,250,000 on August 1, 2017. Subsequently, on June 30, 2017, the Company executed a Fourth Amendment (the "FourthSixth Revolver Amendment") to amend the Amended Revolver which modifieseffective December 1, 2018. The Sixth Amendment decreased the Amended Revolver capacity from $52,250 to $42,250 and also placed a $2,100 reserve against the acquisition loan facility, thereby reducing the maximum borrowing capacity of that facility to $10,400. The Company also applied $4,947 of net proceeds from the revolversale of the Kentucky Properties to remain at $52,250,000.
On December 29, 2016, the Company executed a Third Amendment ("Third Revolver Amendment") to amendoutstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver. The Third Amendment modifies the terms of the Amended Mortgage Loan Agreement by increasing the Company’s letter of credit sublimit from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000.
Effective June 30, 2017,April 3, 2020, the Company entered into a SecondSeventh Amendment (the "Second Term("Seventh Amendment") to amend the Amended Mortgage Loan.Loan, a Ninth Amendment ("Ninth Amendment") to amend the Amended Revolver and a Second Amendment ("Second Amendment") to the affiliated revolver. The Seventh Amendment removed the reserve of $2,100 on the acquisition loan availability, thereby increasing the borrowing capacity of that facility from $10,400 to $12,500 as of June 30, 2020. The Ninth Amendment and Second Amendment increased the eligible days of qualifying accounts receivable from 120 days to 150 days for the purpose of calculating our borrowing capacity on the revolvers. The new LIBOR base rate was set at 0.5%.
The Company is participating in the Texas Quality Incentive Payment Program ("QIPP"). Effective May 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Term Amendment amends the terms ofAmendment”) to amend the Amended Mortgage Loan Agreementto release the operators of 3 of the QIPP centers in Texas from the Amended Mortgage Loan and a Seventh Amendment (the “Seventh Revolver Amendment”) to amend the Amended Revolver to remove the operators of 4 of the QIPP centers in Texas from the Amended Revolver and to permanently reduce the amount available under the Amended Revolver by increasing$2,000. At the Company's termsame time, the operators of these 4 facilities entered into a separate revolving loan facility(the "affiliated revolver") with the same syndicate of banks to provide for the temporary working capital requirements of the 4 QIPP centers. The affiliated revolver, which is guaranteed by $7,500,000.
the Company, had an initial capacity of $5,000, which amount was reduced by $1,000 on each of January 1, 2020, April 1, 2020 and July 1, 2020. The affiliated revolver has the same maturity date as the Amended Revolver and the Amended Mortgage Loan of September 30, 2021. The affiliated revolver is cross-defaulted with the Amended Revolver and the Amended Mortgage Loan. For further discussion of the QIPP centers in Texas, refer to Note 12, "Business Development and Other Significant Transactions." As of September 30, 2017,2020, the Company had $20,000,0000 outstanding borrowings under the affiliated revolver. The interest rate related to the affiliated revolver was 5.75% as of September 30, 2020. The balance available for borrowing under the affiliated revolver was $905 at September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 0 outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver compared to $15,000,000$15,000 outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2016.2019. The interest rate related to the Amended Revolver was 5.75% as of September 30, 2020. The outstanding borrowings on the revolver were used primarily to compensate for accumulated Medicaid and Medicare receivables at recently acquired facilities as these facilities proceed through the change in ownership process with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”).temporary working capital requirements. Annual fees for letters of credit issued under the Amended Revolver are 3.0% of the amount outstanding. The
17


Company has eleven4 letters of credit with a total value of $13,408,000


$12,143 outstanding as of September 30, 2017.2020. Considering the balance of eligible accounts receivable, the letters of credit, the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the maximum loan amount of $38,255,000,$28,060, the balance available for borrowing under the Amended Revolver and affiliated revolver was $4,847,000$15,917 at September 30, 2017.2020.
The Company’s debt agreements contain various financial covenants, the most restrictive of which relates to debt service coverage ratios. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, 2017.2020.
Subsequent to the third quarter of 2020, the Company refinanced its Amended Mortgage Loan, Amended Revolver, and affiliated revolver. Refer to Note 14, "Subsequent Events."
Interest Rate Swap Transaction
As part of the debt agreements entered into in April 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a member of the bank syndicate as the counterparty. The Company entered into the interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the variable interest rate risk on its outstanding mortgage borrowings. The Company designated its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and the earnings componenteffective portion of the hedge, net of taxes, is reflected as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). In conjunction with the February 26, 2016aforementioned amendment to the Credit Agreement that occurred in February 2016, the Company amendedretained the previously agreed upon interest rate swap modifying the terms of itsthe swap to reflect the amended Credit Agreement. The Company redesignated the interest rate swap.swap as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap agreement has the same effective date anda maturity date as the Amended Mortgage Loan,of February 26, 2021, and has an amortizing notional amount that was $28,775,000of $26,073 as of September 30, 2017.2020. The interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to make fixed rate payments to the bank calculated on the applicable notional amount at an annual fixed rate of 5.79% while the bank is obligated to make payments to the Company based on LIBOR on the same notional amount. The applicable guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in a company's balance sheets.
The Company assesses the effectiveness of its interest rate swap on a quarterly basis, and at September 30, 2017,2020, the Company determined that the interest rate swap was highly effective. The interest rate swap valuation model indicated a net liability of $20,000$172 at September 30, 2017.2020. The fair value of the interest rate swap is included in “other noncurrentcurrent liabilities” on the Company’s interim consolidated balance sheet. The liability related to the change in fair value of the interest rate swap liability of $105 is included in accumulated other comprehensive income atfor the three months ended September 30, 2017 is $12,000, net of the income tax benefit of $8,000.2020. As the Company’s interest rate swap is not traded on a market exchange, the fair value is determined using a valuation based on a discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap agreement and uses observable market-based inputs, including estimated future LIBOR interest rates. The interest rate swap valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in accordance with the FASB guidance set forth in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
In connection with the Company's debt refinancing, the Company terminated its interest rate swap subsequent to the third quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 14, "Subsequent Events."

7.     LEASES

The Company has operating and finance leases for facilities, corporate offices, and certain equipment. The Company recognizes lease expense for these operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of one year or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company's other leases have original lease terms of one to twelve years, some of which include options to extend the lease for up to twenty years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases as the non-lease components are not significant to the overall lease costs.

The measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities requires the Company to estimate appropriate discount rates. To the extent the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable, such rate is utilized. However, based on information available at lease commencement for the majority of our leases, the rate implicit in the lease is not known. In these instances, the Company utilizes an incremental borrowing rate, which represents the rate of interest that it would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term.

8.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Professional Liability and Other Liability Insurance
The Company has professional liability insurance coverage for its nursing centers that, based on historical claims experience, is likely to be substantially less than the claims that are expected to be incurred. Effective July 1, 2013, the Company established a wholly-owned, offshore limited purpose insurance subsidiary, SHC Risk Carriers, Inc. (“SHC”), to replace some of the expiring commercial policies. SHC covers losses up to specified limits per occurrence. All of the Company's nursing centers in Florida, and Tennessee are now covered under the captive insurance policies along with mostmany of the nursing centers in Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio
20


and Texas.Texas, as well as those previously operated by the Company in Kentucky. The insurance coverage provided for these centers under the SHC policy provides coverage limits of either $500,000 or $1,000,000at least $1,000 per medical incident with a sublimit per center of $1,000,000$3,000 and total annual aggregate policy limits of $5,000,000. The remaining nursing$5,000. All other centers within the Company's portfolio are covered by one of seven claims made professional liabilitythrough various commercial insurance policies purchased from entities unaffiliated with the Company. These policieswhich provide similar coverage limits of $1,000,000 per claimmedical incident, per location, and have sublimits of $3,000,000 per center, with varying self-insured retention levels per claim and varyingon an aggregate policy limits. basis for covered centers. The deductibles for these policies are covered through the insurance subsidiary.
Reserve for Estimated Self-Insured Professional Liability Claims
Because the Company’s actual liability for existing and anticipated professional liability and general liability claims will likely exceed the Company’s limited insurance coverage, the Company has recorded total liabilities for reported and estimated future claims of $19,592,000$25,584 and $27,390 as of September 30, 2017.2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. This accrual includes estimates of liability for incurred but not reported claims, estimates of liability for reported but unresolved claims, actual liabilities related to settlements, including settlements to be paid over time, and estimates of legal costs related to these claims. All losses are projected on an undiscounted basis and are presented without regard to any potential insurance recoveries. Amounts are added to the accrual for estimates of anticipated liability for claims incurred during each period, and amounts are deducted from the accrual for settlements paid on existing claims during each period.
The Company evaluates the adequacy of this liability on a quarterly basis. Semi-annually, the Company retains a third-party actuarial firm to assist in the evaluation of this reserve. Since May 2012, Merlinos & Associates, Inc. (“Merlinos”)the actuary has assisted management in the preparation of the appropriate accrual for incurred but not reported general and professional liability claims based on data furnished as of May 31 and November 30 of each year. MerlinosThe actuary primarily utilizes historical data regarding the frequency and cost of the Company'sCompany’s past claims over a multi-year period, industry data and information regarding the number of occupied beds to develop its estimates of the Company'sCompany’s ultimate professional liability cost for current periods.
On a quarterly basis, the Company obtains reports of asserted claims and lawsuits incurred. These reports, which are provided by the Company’s insurers and a third-party claims administrator, contain information relevant to the actual expense already incurred with each claim as well as the third-party administrator’s estimate of the anticipated total cost of the claim. This information is reviewed by the Company quarterly and provided to the actuary semi-annually. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the actual


claim claims information obtained, the semi-annual estimates received from the third-party actuary, the amounts paid and committed for settlements of claims and on estimates regarding the number and cost of additional claims anticipated in the future, the reserve estimate for a particular period may be revised upward or downward on a quarterly basis. Any increase in the accrual decreases results of operations in the period and any reduction in the accrual increases results of operations during the period.
As of September 30, 2017,2020, the Company is engaged in 7182 professional liability lawsuits. SevenNaN lawsuits are currently scheduled for trial or arbitration during the next twelve months, and it is expected that additional cases will be set for trial or hearing. The Company’s cash expenditures for self-insured professional liability costs from continuing operations were $6,077,000$5,136 and $2,779,000$5,398 for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively.
The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC Topic 954 that clarifies that a health care entity should not net insurance recoveries against a related professional liability claim and that the amount of the claim liability should be determined without consideration of insurance recoveries. Accordingly, the estimated insurance recovery receivables are included within "Self-insurance receivables, current portion" and "other noncurrent assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there are estimated insurance recovery receivables of $686 and $1,011 in "Self-insurance receivables, current portion" and $155 and $1,555 in "other noncurrent assets," respectively.
Although the Company adjusts its accrual for professional and general liability claims on a quarterly basis and retains a third-party actuarial firm semi-annually to assist management in estimating the appropriate accrual, professional and general liability claims are inherently uncertain, and the liability associated with anticipated claims is very difficult to estimate. Any potential claims or settlements related to COVID-19 are uncertain at this time. Professional liability cases have a long cycle from the date of an incident to the date a case is resolved, and final determination of the Company’s actual liability for claims incurred in any given period is a process that takes years. As a result, the Company’s actual liabilities may vary significantly from the accrual, and the amount of the accrual has and may continue to fluctuate by a material amount in any given period. Each change in the amount of this accrual will directly affect the Company’s reported earnings and financial position for the period in which the change in accrual is made.
Civil Investigative Demand ("CID")
In July 2013,February 2020, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Company learned thatU.S. Department of Justice and the United States Attorney for the Middle DistrictState of Tennessee ("DOJ") had commenced a civil investigation of potentialactions alleging violations of the federal False Claims Act ("FCA").

The Company is completely self-insured for workers’ compensation exposures prior to May 1997.programs. The Company has been and remains a non-subscriber to the Texas workers’ compensation system and, therefore, is therefore, completely self-insured for employee injuries with respect to its Texas operations. From June 30, 2003 until June 30, 2007, the Company’s workers’ compensation insurance programs provided coverage for claims incurred with premium adjustments depending on incurred losses.

Under this prefunded policy, the Company is self-insured for the first $500,000$500 per claim, subject to an aggregate maximum of $3,000,000.$3,000. The Company funds a loss fund account with the insurer to pay for claims below the deductible. The Company accounts for premium expense under this policy based on its estimate of the level of claims subject to the policy deductibles expected to be incurred. The liability for workers’ compensation claims is $871,000was $520 and $921 at September 30, 2017.2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company has a non-current receivable for workers’ compensation policies covering previous years of $1,652,000$2,101 and $1,575 which is included in "other noncurrent assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2017.2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The non-current receivable is a function of payments paid to the Company’s insurance carrier in excess of the estimated level of claims expected to be incurred. Any potential claims or settlements related to COVID-19 are uncertain at this time.
As of September 30, 2017,2020, the Company is self-insured for health insurance benefits for certain employees and dependents for amounts up to $175,000$200 per individual annually.

9.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Hurricanes Harvey and Irma
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Hurricanes Harvey and Irma impacted four of our centers in Texas and one center in Florida, respectively. We incurred $0.2 million of costs which were recorded as hurricane costs in the accompanying interim consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the hurricanes on the business and intends to file a claim under its insurance program for damages.

6.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


Overview of Plans

In computing the fair value estimates for options and stock-only stock appreciation rights ("SOSARs") using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model,method, the Company took into consideration the exercise price of the equity grants and the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The Company used an expected volatility that equals the historical volatility over the most recent period equal to the expected life of the equity grants. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company used the expected dividend yield at the date of grant, reflecting the level of annual cash dividends currently being paid on its common stock.

Upon vesting of equity awards, all restrictions are removed. Our policy is to account for forfeitures of share-based compensation awards as they occur.

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $766,000$491 and $721,000$429 in the nine month periods ended September 30, 20172020 and 2019, respectively.

10. INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax expense from continuing operations of $287 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and an expense of $15,544 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
When assessing the recoverability of the Company’s recorded deferred tax assets, the accounting guidance, ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires that all available positive and negative evidence be considered in evaluating the likelihood that the Company will be able to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets in the future, which is highly judgmental. Such evidence includes, but may not be limited to, scheduled reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and the results of recent operations.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company has a valuation allowance in the amount of $20.4 million.  The Company will continue to periodically assess the realizability of its future deferred tax assets.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted and signed into law. Certain provisions of the CARES Act impact the 2019 income tax provision computations of the Company and are reflected in the first quarter of 2020, or the period of enactment. The CARES Act contains modifications on the depreciation of qualified improvement property, as well as the limitation of business interest for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The new life classification of the qualified improvement property, allowing for bonus depreciation to be taken, along with the modification to Section 163(j) to increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income significantly increased the allowable deductions of the Company and result in additional taxable losses for the year-ended 2019, resulting in greater net operating losses (“NOL”) to be carried back. The NOL carryback resulted in a tax refund of $321 and an increase to the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”) deferred tax asset, which is offset by a full valuation allowance. These changes pursuant to the CARES Act did not have a significant impact during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, other than the tax refund and net adjustments to the WOTC credit and NOL deferred tax assets, which are offset by a valuation allowance. As a
24


result of the CARES Act, it is anticipated that the Company will fully utilize all interest expense expected to be incurred in 2020.
The Company is not currently under examination by any major income tax jurisdiction. During 2020, the statutes of limitations will lapse on the Company's 2016 Federal tax year and certain 2015 and 2016 respectively.state tax years. The Company does not believe the Federal or state statute lapses or any other event will significantly impact the balance of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The net balance of unrecognized tax benefits was not material to the interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

2016 Lease Termination
On May 31, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement with Avon Ohio, LLC to amend the original lease agreement, thus terminating the Company's right of possession of the facility in Avon, Ohio. As a result, the Company incurred lease termination costs of $2,008,000 in the second quarter of 2016. Under the amended agreement, the Company is required to pay $300,000 per year through the term of the original lease agreement, July 31, 2024. For accounting purposes, this transaction was not reported as a discontinued operation, which is in accordance with the modified authoritative guidance for reporting discontinued operations, effective January 1, 2015. A disposal is now required to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results.
2016 Sale of Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
On October 28, 2016, the Company and its partners entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell the pharmacy joint venture. The sale resulted in a $1,366,000 gain in the fourth quarter of 2016. Subsequently, we recognized an additional gain of $733,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, related to the final liquidation of remaining net assets affiliated with the partnership.




ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Diversicare Healthcare Services, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Diversicare” or the “Company”) provides long-term care services to nursing center patients in tennine states, primarily in the Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest. The Company’s centers provide a range of health care services to their patients and residents that include nursing, personal care, and social services. Additionally, the Company’s nursing centers also offer a variety of comprehensive rehabilitation services, as well as nutritional support services. The Company's continuing operations include centers in Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas. The Company's operating results also include the results of discontinued operations in the state of Kentucky that have been reclassified on the face of the financial statements to reflect the discontinued status of these operations for all periods presented.
As of September 30, 2017,2020, the Company’s continuing operations consist of 7662 nursing centers with 8,4577,329 licensed nursing beds. The Company owns 1815 and leases 5847 of its nursing centers. Our nursing centers range in size from 4850 to 320 licensed nursing beds. The licensed nursing bed count does not include 496397 licensed assisted living and residential beds.
Key Performance Metrics
Skilled Mix. Skilled mix represents the number of days our Medicare or Managed Care patients are receiving services at the skilled nursing facilities divided by the total number of days (less days from assisted living patients).
Average rate per day. Average rate per day is the revenue by payor source for a period at the skilled nursing facility divided by actual patient days for the revenue source for a given period.
Average daily skilled nursing census. Average daily skilled nursing census is the average number of patients who are receiving skilled nursing care.
COVID-19 and Federal Relief Legislation
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, federal and state governments have passed legislation, promulgated regulations, and taken other administrative actions intended to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients during the public health emergency and to address public health needs. These measures include temporary relaxation of conditions of participation for healthcare providers, relaxation of licensure requirements for healthcare professionals, relaxation of privacy restrictions for telehealth remote communications, promoting use of telehealth by expanding the scope of services for which reimbursement is available, and limited waivers of fraud and abuse laws for activities related to COVID-19 during the public health emergency period. They also include requirements for skilled nursing centers to report to public health authorities, residents and their representatives when residents and staff are confirmed as having or are being investigated for having COVID-19.
We are working with federal, state, and local health authorities to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and are taking measures to try to limit the spread of the virus. For example, we have implemented screening protocols for staff, residents, and visitors. CMS has announced that it will begin requiring nursing homes in states with positive testing rates above a certain threshold to test all staff on a weekly basis. Although we are implementing considerable safety measures, caring for COVID-19 patients has associated risks. In addition, we may experience supply chain disruptions, including delays and price increases in equipment, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies. Staffing, equipment, and pharmaceutical and medical supplies shortages may impact our ability to admit and treat patients. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, increased expenses arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. We have also experienced reduced occupancy in our centers, in part due to perceived risks by patients and family members of residential care and their perception of restrictions such as limited visitation policies, a reduction in patients released to nursing homes from hospitals and other healthcare facilities, and a general reluctance to seek medical care or interface with the healthcare system during the pandemic or for an undetermined period of time. Occupancy may also be affected by the data each nursing home is required to report, including the number of confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 and resident deaths related to COVID-19, which is made publicly available through the CDC National Healthcare Safety Network.
The Company is closely monitoring and evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. We have identified team members and patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 at a select number of our centers, and we have incurred an increase in the costs of caring for the patients and residents in those centers. The Company incurred an additional $9.4 million of salaries expense, $7.2 million of supplies expense and $0.4 million of travel expense related to COVID-19 pandemic for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020. The Company has also experienced reduced occupancy at its centers and has incurred additional expenditures preparing our centers for potential outbreaks. The Company has an interdisciplinary team monitoring and staying up to date on the latest information about the virus and its prevalence. The Company has implemented precautionary measures and response protocols to minimize the spread of the virus, following
28


guidance from the CDC, but the Company nevertheless expects additional cases of the virus will occur at these and other facilities.
One of the primary sources of relief for healthcare providers is the CARES Act, an economic stimulus package signed into law on March 27, 2020, which included, among other things, modifications to the limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions relative to the payment of Federal income taxes, allows an optional payment deferral of the employer's portion of Social Security taxes that are otherwise due through December 31, 2020. These provisions of the CARES Act were effective after the date of enactment and also include the appropriation of stimulus funds to Medicare and Medicaid providers. The PPPHCE Act, an expansion of the CARES Act that includes additional emergency appropriations, was signed into law on April 24, 2020. Together, the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act include $175 billion of funding to be distributed through the PHSSEF to eligible providers, including public entities and Medicare- and/or Medicaid-enrolled providers. PHSSEF payments are intended to compensate healthcare providers for lost revenues and healthcare-related expenses incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As long as the recipient has sufficient COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 and complies with certain terms and conditions, the PHSSEF payments are not required to be repaid. The terms and conditions include, among other things, complying with reporting requirements, limitations on balance billing and restrictions against using PHSSEF funds to reimburse expenses or losses that other sources are obligated to reimburse.
In addition, the CARES Act expands the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to increase cash flow to providers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Skilled nursing centers were able to request an accelerated payment of up to 100% of the Medicare payment amount for a three-month period (not including Medicare Advantage payments). On April 26, 2020, CMS paused the program and as of October 8, 2020 CMS has stopped accepting applications. The Medicare Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program payments are advances that providers must repay. The Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and other Extensions Act (P.L. 116-159, October 1, 2020) delayed and revised the repayment terms for the Medicare Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program. Beginning one year after receiving payment, CMS must begin recouping the accelerated payments that have not been voluntarily repaid before that time by withholding a portion of future Medicare payments for claims.For the first eleven months of recoupment, CMS will recoup 25% of any Medicare payments due to the provider, and for the six months thereafter CMS will recoup 50% of any Medicare payments due to the provider. If after that time period, there is a remaining balance, the provider or supplier will be required to repay the balance. The Company has not elected to participate in this program. The CARES Act also includes other provisions offering financial relief, for example lifting the Medicare sequestration from May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, which would have otherwise reduced payments to Medicare providers by 2%.
In addition to the funds appropriated under the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act, a stimulus package signed into law on April 24, 2020, includes additional emergency appropriations for COVID-19 response, including $75 billion to be distributed to eligible providers through the PHSSEF. This funding is also intended to reimburse providers for lost revenues and healthcare-related expenses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, but requires recipients to abide by terms and conditions.
Recipients of more than $10 thousand in PHSSEF funds will be required to submit reports to HHS that include information about their expenses and lost revenues. The initial report covering 2020, will be due to HHS by February 15, 2021. If a recipient has not utilized all of its PHSSEF funds by December 31, 2020, a second report must be submitted by July 31, 2021. Guidance was released by HHS on September 19, 2020 and updated on October 22, 2020 related to these reporting requirements. HHS issued responses to some "frequently asked questions" on October 28, 2020 that provide some additional details and examples related to how recipients should calculate their COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues. These reporting requirements are still evolving. Ultimately, to the extent that reports submitted by a recipient do not demonstrate sufficient lost revenues and expenses attributable to COVID-19 (as those terms are defined by HHS), the recipient may have to repay any excess funds received.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received $42.3 million from the PHSSEF established under the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act. We are eligible to apply for any additional Phase 3 General Distribution PHSSEF payments and will apply; however, we do not know whether we will ultimately receive additional payment. Due to the recent enactment of the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act and evolving guidance, there is still a high degree of uncertainty surrounding their implementation. We are closely tracking our use of the funds received from PHSSEF under the CARES Act and PPPHCE Act in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms and conditions, including applicable reporting requirements. The Company is still evaluating the most recent guidance; however, the Company currently anticipates, but cannot guarantee, that it will have sufficient COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues to retain the PPSSEF payments it has received to date. The Company will not be able to determine the amount of used funds until the reporting rules are finalized by the federal government, and the Company knows the full extent of its COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues. The Company is working to track and document that we appropriately use all PHSSEF funds received, however, the Company can offer no assurance that it will be in compliance with all requirements related to retaining the PHSSEF payments received under the CARES Act or the PPPHCE Act. If we fail to appropriately comply with all of the terms and conditions or do not have
29


sufficient expenses and lost revenues (as defined by these programs), the Company may be required to repay some or all of these amounts, which could have a material adverse impact.
The Company is continuing to evaluate and consider the potential impact that COVID-19 may have on its liquidity, financial condition and results of operations due to numerous uncertainties. We also continue to assess the potential impact of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act, and other stimulus measures, if any, as well as the impact of other laws, regulations, and guidance related to COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Given the uncertainty as to the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Strategic Operating Initiatives
We identified several key strategic objectives to increase shareholder value through improved operations and business development. These strategic operating initiatives include: improving our facilities' quality metrics, improving skilled mix in our nursing centers, improving our average Medicare rate,
implementing and maintaining Electronic Medical Records (“EMR”) to improve Medicaid capture, and completing strategic acquisitions.acquisitions and divestitures. We have experienced success in these initiatives and expect to continue to build on these improvements.
Improving skilled mix and average Medicare rate:
One of our key performance indicators is skilled mix. Our strategic operating initiatives of improving our skilled mix and our average Medicare rate required investing in nursing and clinical care to treat more acute patients along with nursing center-based marketing representatives to attract these patients. These initiatives developed referral and Managed Care relationships that have attracted and are expected to continue to attract payor sources for patients covered by Medicare and Managed Care. The Company's skilled mix for the three months ended September 30, 20172020 and 20162019 was 14.5%16.5% and 14.9%13.3%, respectively. The graph below illustratesCompany's skilled mix for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 15% and 14.2%, respectively. For the past several years, census and skilled mix trends have been affected by healthcare reforms resulting in lower lengths of stay among our success with increasing our average Medicare rate per day:skilled patient population and lower admissions caused by initiatives among acute care providers, managed care payors and conveners to divert certain skilled nursing referrals to home health or other community-based care settings.

ImplementingUtilizing Electronic Medical Records to improve Medicaid acuity capture:
As another part of our strategic operating initiatives, we implementedall of our nursing centers utilize EMR to improve Medicaid acuity capture, primarily in our states where the Medicaid payments are acuity based. We completed the implementation ofBy using EMR, in all our nursing centers in December 2011, on time and under budget, and since implementation,we have increased our average Medicaid rate despite rate cuts in certain acuity based states by accurate and timely capture of care delivery. The graph below illustrates our success with increasing our average Medicaid rate per day since implementation:
medicaidrateperdaygrapha08.jpg
Completing strategic acquisitionstransactions and dispositions:other business developments:
Our strategic operating initiatives include a renewed focus on completing strategic acquisitions and dispositions.divestitures. We continue to pursue and investigate opportunities to acquire lease or developlease new centers, focusing primarily on opportunities within our existing geographic areas of operation.


On July 1, 2017, we acquired a 103-bed skilled nursing center in Selma, Alabama, including certain land, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, personal property and intangible property for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.8 million. This center is expected to contribute in excess of $8.0 million in annual revenues. Refer to Note 9 to the interim consolidated financial statements for further discussion on this acquisition.
On October 1, 2016 and November 1, 2016, we assumed the operations of ten centers in Mississippi and 12 centers in Alabama, respectively, which is further discussed in Note 9 to the interim consolidated financial statements. These acquired facilities are expected to contribute in excess of $185 million in annual revenues.
As part of our strategic efforts, we have also performedroutinely perform thorough analysisanalyses on our existing centers in order to determine whether continuing operations within certain markets or regions wasis in line with the short-term and long-term strategy of the business.
Effective November 1, 2020, the Company entered into agreements with a third party therapy company to outsource the therapy services that have been provided by the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary Diversicare Therapy Services. The outsourced services include all physical, occupational, and speech therapy provided to patients of the Company’s facilities. The contracts are for a three year term, absent termination for cause by either party. The third party provider has extensive expertise in providing therapy, and the Company believes that the therapy company’s expertise in this area will benefit our patients and result in an overall operational cost savings for the Company.
On December 1, 2018, the Company sold three Kentucky properties for a purchase price of $18.7 million, which are collectively referred to as the "Kentucky Properties." On August 30, 2019, the Company terminated operations of ten centers in Kentucky and concurrently transferred operations to a new operator. These ten centers are collectively referred to as the "Kentucky Centers." The sale of the Kentucky Properties and the termination of operations at the Kentucky Centers are referred to collectively as the "Kentucky Exit." As a result we ceasedof the Kentucky Exit, the Company no longer operates any skilled nursing centers in the State of Kentucky. The Kentucky Exit represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company's operations at our Carthage, Mississippi, facility in September 2017 and our Avon, Ohio, facility, in May 2016 thus terminating our lease agreementsfinancial results. In accordance with ASC 205, the lessors. These transaction were not reported asCompany's discontinued operations as described inoperating results have been reclassified on the face of the financial statements and footnotes to reflect the discontinued status of these operations. Refer to Note 913, "Discontinued Operations" to the interim consolidated financial statements.
During 2019, the Company expanded its participation in the Texas Quality Incentive Program ("QIPP") as administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. QIPP provides supplemental Medicaid payments for skilled nursing centers that achieve certain quality measures. The Company previously had one of its Texas skilled nursing centers participating in the
30


QIPP. During April 2019, the Company enrolled an additional eleven of its Texas skilled nursing centers in the program, such that twelve of the Company’s centers participate in the QIPP effective September 1, 2019. To allow four of these centers to meet the QIPP participation requirements, the Company entered into a transaction with a Texas medical district already participating in the QIPP, providing for the transfer of the related provider licenses from the Company to the medical district. The Company’s operating subsidiary retained the management of the centers on behalf of the medical district. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission waived some of the performance and reporting requirements for QIPP effective March 1, 2020 through the remainder of state's fiscal year ended August 31, 2020.
On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into a new Master Lease Agreement (the "Lease") with Omega Healthcare Investors (the "Lessor") to lease 34 centers currently owned by the Lessor and operated by Diversicare. The old Master Lease with the Lessor provided for its operation of 23 skilled nursing centers in Texas, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and Ohio. Additionally, Diversicare operated 11 centers owned by the Lessor under separate leases in Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. The Lease entered into by Diversicare and the Lessor consolidated the leases for all 34 centers under one new master lease. The Lease has an initial term of twelve years with two optional 10 year extensions. The Lease has a common date of annual lease fixed escalators of 2.15% beginning on October 1, 2019. The Lease was subsequently amended on August 30, 2019 when the Company terminated operations of ten centers in Kentucky and concurrently transferred operations to a new operator. The agreement effectively amended the Lease to remove the ten Kentucky facilities, reduce the annual rent expense, and release the Company from any further obligations arising under the Lease with respect to the Kentucky facilities. The remaining Lease terms remain unchanged with an initial term of twelve years and two optional 10-year extensions. The annual lease fixed escalator remains at 2.15% beginning on October 1, 2019.
Basis of Financial Statements
Our patient revenues consist of the fees charged for the care of patients in the nursing centers we own and lease. Our other operating income consists of Medicare stimulus funds recognized. Our operating expenses include the costs, other than lease, professional liability, depreciation and amortization expenses, incurred in the operation of the nursing centers we own and lease. Our general and administrative expenses consist of the costs of the corporate office and regional support functions. Our interest, depreciation and amortization expenses include all such expenses across the range of our operations.


Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments
A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments often involving estimates of the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from those estimates and cause our reported net income or loss to vary significantly from period to period. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in our 20162019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We are including the following critical accounting policies and judgments, which updates the corresponding critical accounting policies and judgments disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and adding new critical accounting policies and judgments, both which should be read in conjunction with our description of critical accounting policies and judgments in Part I, Item 7, "Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019:

Recognition CARES Act and PPPHCE Act Funds
The Company implemented certain changes to our accounting policies related to the recognition of stimulus funds through the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act. There is no U.S. GAAP that covers accounting for government "grants" to for-profit entities with the exception of certain agricultural subsidies. In the absence of authoritative U.S. GAAP guidance, the Company considered the application of other authoritative accounting guidance by analogy and concluded that the guidance outlined in International Accounting Standard 20 - Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance ("IAS 20") was the most appropriate analogy for the purpose of recording and classifying the federal stimulus funds received by the Company. Under IAS 20, once it is reasonably assured that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant, the grant money should be recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses for which the grant money is intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once both of the following conditions are met: (1) the Company is able to comply with the relevant conditions of the grant and (2) the grant will be received. Federal stimulus funds that are recognized to offset healthcare related expenses and lost revenue attributable to COVID-19 are reflected as "other operating income" on the accompanying interim consolidated statement of operations. Federal stimulus funds received and used toward capital improvements that assist with the response to and prevention and spread of COVID-19 are accounted for as a capital grant. For such an asset acquired with the use of stimulus funds, the Company will recognize the asset as a net zero asset. Refer to Note 4, "COVID-19 Pandemic" to the interim consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information. Additionally, the Company has received Medicaid stimulus funds, which are recognized in accordance with ASC 606. Refer to Note 5 "Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable" to the interim consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.

Revenue Sources
We classify our revenues from patients and residents into four major categories: Medicaid, Medicare, Managed Care, and Private Pay and other. Medicaid revenues are composed of the traditional Medicaid program established to provide benefits to those in need of financial assistance in the securing of medical services. Medicare revenues include revenues received under both Part A and Part B of the Medicare program. Managed Care revenues include payments for patients who are insured by a third-party entity, typically called a Health Maintenance Organization, often referred to as an HMO plan, or are Medicare beneficiaries who assign their Medicare benefits to a Managed Care replacement plan often referred to as Medicare replacement products. The Private Pay and other revenues are composed primarily of individuals or parties who directly pay for their services. Included in the Private Pay and other payors are patients who are hospice beneficiaries as well as the recipients of Veterans Administration benefits. Veterans Administration payments are made pursuant to renewable contracts negotiated with these payors.
The Company recognized $6.6 million and $11.7 million of Medicaid and Hospice stimulus dollars for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively, that are reflected as patient revenues from Medicaid and Private Pay and Other in the Company's results of operations. Refer to Note 4, "COVID-19 Pandemic" to the interim consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information. The following table sets forth net patient and resident revenues related to our continuing operationssummarizes revenue from contracts with customers by payor source from continuing operations for the periods presented (dollar amounts in thousands):.

Consistent with the nursing home industry in general, changes in the mix of a facility’s patient population among Medicaid, Medicare, Managed Care, and Private Pay and other can significantly affect the profitability of the facility’s operations.


Health Care Industry
The health care industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local laws and regulations, which are frequently subject to change.governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not necessarily limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government health care program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services, quality of patient care and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Over the last several years, government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations by health care providers of a number of statutes and regulations, including those regulating fraud and abuse, false claims, patient privacy and quality of care issues. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in exclusion from government health care programs, significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. Compliance with such laws and regulations is subject to ongoing government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions in which government agencies seek to impose fines and penalties.interpretation. The Company is involved in regulatory actions of this type from time to time.
TheIn recent years, the U.S. Congress and certainsome state legislatures have introducedconsidered and passedenacted significant proposalsreforms affecting the availability, payment and legislation concerningreimbursement of healthcare services in the United States. Reforms that we believe may have a material impact on the long-term care industry and on our business include, among others, possible modifications to the conditions of qualification for payment, bundling of payments to cover both acute and post-acute care and the imposition of enrollment limitations on new providers. The most prominent of the federal legislative reform efforts, the Affordable Care Act,

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act expands coverage through a combination of public program expansion and private sector reforms, provides for reduced growth in Medicare program spending, and promotes initiatives that tie reimbursement to quality and care coordination. Some of the provisions, such as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Affordable Care Act”), impactsrequirement that large employers provide health insurance benefits to full-time employees, have increased our Company, our employees and our patients in a variety of ways, some of which may result in increased operating expenses and involve changes or reductions to our Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement. For example, theexpenses. The Affordable Care Act as currently structured, expands the role of home-based and community services, which may place downward pressure on our sustaining population of Medicaid patients. However, there is substantialconsiderable uncertainty regarding the ongoing net effectfuture of the Affordable Care Act. The 2016 federal elections resulted in a presidentialPresidential administration that, along withand certain members of Congress have statedmade and expressed their intent to repeal or make additional significant changes to the Affordable Care Act,law, its implementation and/or its interpretation. We are unable to predict whether, when,For example, effective January 1, 2019, Congress eliminated the financial penalty associated with the individual mandate. As a result of this change, a federal judge in Texas ruled in December 2018 that the individual mandate was unconstitutional and howdetermined that the Affordable Care Act will be changed, what alternative provisions, if any, will be enacted, the timing of enactment and implementation of alternative provisions, and the impact of alternative provisions on providers as well as other healthcare industry participants. In addition, a presidential executive order has been signed that directs agencies to minimize “economic and regulatory burdens”rest of the Affordable Care Act was, therefore, invalid. In December 2019, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld this decision with respect to the individual mandate, but remanded for further consideration of how this affects the rest of the law. The law remains in place pending appeal.
Skilled nursing centers are required to bill Medicare on a consolidated basis for certain items and services that they furnish to patients, regardless of the cost to deliver these services. This consolidated billing requirement essentially makes the skilled nursing center responsible for billing Medicare for all care services delivered to the patient during the length of stay. CMS has instituted a number of test programs designed to extend the reimbursement and financial responsibilities under consolidating billing beyond the traditional discharge date to include a broader set of bundled services. Such examples may include, but are not exclusive to, home health, durable medical equipment, home and community based services, and the cost of re-hospitalizations during a specified bundled period. Currently, these test programs for bundled reimbursement are confined to a small set of clinical conditions, but CMS has indicated that it is unclear how thisdeveloping additional bundled payment models. This bundled form of reimbursement could be extended to a broader range of diagnosis related conditions in the future. The potential impact on skilled nursing center utilization and reimbursement is currently unknown. The process for defining bundled services has not been fully determined by CMS and is therefore subject to change during the rulemaking process. CMS has indicated that it is working toward a unified payment system for post-acute care services, including those provided by skilled nursing centers.
On August 7, 2019, CMS issued a final rule outlining Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities that became effective October 1, 2019. CMS projects that aggregate payments to skilled nursing facilities will increase by 2.4%, reflecting a skilled nursing facility market basket percentage update of 2.8% with a 0.4 percentage point reduction for the multifactor productivity adjustment. In addition, the Patient-Driven Payment Model ("PDPM") took effect October 1, 2019. The PDPM is a payment system for patients in a covered Medicare Part A skilled nursing facility stay that replaces the Resource Utilization Group ("RUG-IV") model, which primarily used volume of services as the basis for payment classification. The PDPM model instead classifies patients into payment groups based on specific patient characteristics and shifts the focus away from paying for the volume of services provided. CMS will use a budget neutrality factor to satisfy the requirement that PDPM be implemented or howbudget neutral relative to RUG-IV. CMS stated that it intends for the new model not to change the aggregate amount of Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities, but to more accurately reflect resource utilization.
On July 31, 2020, CMS issued a final rule outlining Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities for federal agencies will implementfiscal year 2021. Effective October 1, 2020, payments to skilled nursing facilities are estimated to increase by 2.2% based on a market basket percentage update of 2.2%, adjusted by a 0.0 percentage point multifactor productivity adjustment.
provisionsCMS publishes rankings based on performance scores on the Nursing Home Compare website, which is intended to assist the public in finding and comparing skilled care providers. The Nursing Home Compare website also publishes for each nursing home a rating between 1 and 5 stars as part of CMS’s Five-Star Quality Rating System. An overall star rating is determined based on three components (information from the last three years of health inspections, staffing information, and quality measures), each of which also has its own five-star rating. The ratings are based, in part, on the quality data nursing centers are required to report. For example, nursing centers must report the rate of short-stay residents who are successfully discharged into the community and the percentage who had an outpatient emergency department visit. As a result of the Affordable Care Act. Further, anyCOVID-19 pandemic, CMS issued temporary waivers and flexibilities that impact the information posted on the Nursing Home Compare website and used in the Five-Star Quality Rating System. For example, CMS temporarily waived the requirement to submit staffing data and issued guidance prioritizing or suspending certain nursing home surveys. Some of these measures have been lifted, while some are subject to phased re-opening criteria. However, due to these changes and their impact on data, CMS is adjusting some ratings (e.g., by holding specific quality measures constant). In addition to the Affordablestandard Nursing Home Compare data, CMS is posting COVID-19 data submitted by nursing homes on the CDC National Healthcare Safety Network and linking to this information from the Nursing Home Compare website. The information posted includes the reported number of confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 in each facility, resident deaths related to COVID-19, availability of personal protective equipment and COVID-19 testing, and potential staffing shortages.

Conversely our Managed Care average dailyOur Medicare census for the third quarter of 20172020 increased $0.813.2% resulting in increased revenue of $2.8 million. The decline in census for the third quarter of 2020 was mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognized $6.6 million or 14.2%.Medicaid state stimulus funds during the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, the suspension of sequestration for the third quarter of 2020 resulted in an increase in revenue of $0.7 million.

Other Operating Income
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, we received $42.3 million of provider relief from the PHSSEF. We recognized $9.6 million of the funds during the third quarter of 2020, which is classified as "Other Operating Income" in the Company's results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2020. The Medicare stimulus funds that we recognized during the quarter were used to offset healthcare-related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. Increased healthcare related expenses included but were not limited to increased wages and increased costs for personal protective equipment, testing and other supplies.

Interest on the term and acquisition loan facilities is based on LIBOR plus 4.0% and 4.75%, respectively. A portion of the Amended Mortgage Loan is effectively fixed at 5.79% pursuant to an interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $30.0 million. AsThe Amended Mortgage Loan balance was $59.6 million as of September 30, 2017,2020, consisting of $48.2 million on the term loan facility with an interest rate related toof 4.50% and $11.4 million on the Amended Mortgage Loan wasacquisition loan facility with an interest rate of 5.25%. The Amended Mortgage Loan is secured by eighteenfifteen owned nursing centers, related equipment and a lien on the accounts receivable of these centers. The Amended Mortgage Loan and the Amended Revolver are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. The Company’s Amended Revolver has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.0% and is secured by accounts receivable and is subject to limits on the maximum amount of loans that can be outstanding under the revolver based on borrowing base restrictions.
Effective October 3, 2016,In connection with the sale of the Kentucky Properties, the Company entered into the SecondSixth Amendment ("Second Revolver Amendment") to amend the Amended Revolver. The Second Revolver Amendment increased the Amended Revolver capacity from the $27.5 million in the Amended Revolver to $52.3 million; provided that the maximum revolving facility be reduced to $42.3 million on August 1, 2017. Subsequently, on June 30, 2017, the Company executed a Fourth Amendment (the "FourthSixth Revolver Amendment") to amend the Amended Revolver which modifieseffective December 1, 2018. The Sixth Amendment decreased the Amended Revolver capacity from $52.3 million to $42.3 million and also placed a $2.1 million reserve against the acquisition loan facility, thereby reducing the maximum borrowing capacity of that facility to $10.4 million. The Company also applied $4.9 million of net proceeds from the revolversale of the Kentucky Properties to remain at $52.3 million.
On December 29, 2016, the Company executed a Third Amendment ("Third Revolver Amendment") to amendoutstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver.

The Seventh Amendment removed the reserve of $2.1 million on the acquisition loan availability, thereby increasing our borrowing capacity of that facility from $10.4 million to $12.5 million as of June 30, 2020. The Ninth Amendment and Second Amendment increases the eligible days of qualifying accounts receivable from 120 days to 150 days for the purpose of calculating our borrowing capacity on the revolvers. The new LIBOR base rate was set at 0.5%.
The Company is participating in the Texas Quality Incentive Payment Program ("QIPP"). Effective May 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Term Amendment amends the terms ofAmendment”) to amend the Amended Mortgage Loan Agreementto release the operators of three of the QIPP centers in Texas from the Amended Mortgage Loan and a Seventh Amendment (the “Seventh Revolver Amendment”) to amend the Amended Revolver to remove the operators of four of the QIPP centers in Texas from the Amended Revolver and to permanently reduce the amount available under the Amended Revolver by increasing$2.0 million. At the Company's termsame time, the operators of these four facilities entered into a separate revolving loan facility(the "affiliated revolver") with the same syndicate of banks to provide for the temporary working capital requirements of the four QIPP centers. The affiliated revolver, which is guaranteed by $7.5 million.the Company, had an initial capacity of $5.0 million, which amount was reduced by $1.0 million on each of January 1, 2020, April 1, 2020 and July 1, 2020.  The affiliated revolver is cross-defaulted with the Amended Revolver and the Amended Mortgage Loan. For further discussion of the QIPP centers in Texas, refer to Note 11, "Business Development and Other Significant Transactions." As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the affiliated revolver. The interest rate related to the affiliated revolver was 5.75% as of September 30, 2020.

Subsequent to the third quarter of 2020, the Company refinanced its Amended Mortgage Loan, Amended Revolver, and affiliated revolver. Refer to Note 14, "Subsequent Events."
Our lending agreements contain various financial covenants, the most restrictive of which relates to debt service coverage ratios. We are in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, 2017.2020.
Our calculated compliance with financial covenants is presented below:

As part of theour debt agreements, entered into in February 2016, we amended ourhave an interest rate swap agreement with a member of the bank syndicate as the counterparty. The interest rate swap agreement has the same effective date and maturity date as the Amended Mortgage Loan, and carries an initial notional amount of $30.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement requires us to make fixed rate payments to the bank calculated on the applicable notional amount at an annual fixed rate of 5.79% while the bank is obligated to make payments to us based on LIBOR on the same notional amounts. We entered into the interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the variable interest rate risk on our outstanding mortgage borrowings. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2020, the Company terminated its interest rate swap.
In connection with the Company's debt refinancing, the Company terminated its interest rate swap subsequent to the third quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 14, "Subsequent Events."
Receivables
Our operations could be adversely affected if we experience significant delays in reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party revenue sources. Our future liquidity will continue to be dependent upon the relative amounts of current assets (principally cash, accounts receivable and inventories) and current liabilities (principally accounts payable and accrued expenses). In that regard, accounts receivable can have a significant impact on our liquidity. Continued efforts by governmental and third-party payors to contain or reduce the acceleration of costs by monitoring reimbursement rates, by increasing medical review of bills for services, or by negotiating reduced contract rates, as well as any delay by us in the processing of our invoices, could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position.
Accounts receivable attributable to patient services of continuing operations totaled $76.9 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $72.5 million at December 31, 2016, representing approximately 47 days and 47 days revenue in accounts receivable, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable is due to an increase in Medicaid collections from the centers undergoing the change in ownership process.
The allowance for bad debt was $13.0 million at September 30, 2017 as compared to $10.3 million at December 31, 2016. We continually evaluate the adequacy of our bad debt reserves based on patient mix trends, aging of older balances, payment terms and delays with regard to third-party payors, collateral and deposit resources, as well as other factors. We continue to evaluate and implement additional procedures to strengthen our collection efforts and reduce the incidence of uncollectible accounts.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have elevenfour letters of credit outstanding with an aggregate value of approximately $13.4$12.1 million as of September 30, 2017. Eleven of these2020. The letters of credit serve as a security deposits for certain center leases, while one was issued in conjunction with the initial funding of our wholly-owned captive insurance company.leases. These letters of credit were issued under our revolving credit facility. Our accounts receivable serve as the collateral for this revolving credit facility.
Exchange Listing

As previously disclosed, on June 19, 2019, the Company received written notification  from Nasdaq stating that the Company’s Common Stock was subject to delisting from Nasdaq, pending the Company’s opportunity to request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company appealed the Notification on August 22, 2019.  On August 27, 2019, the Company was notified by the Panel that it denied the Company’s appeal and determined to delist the Company’s Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.  Accordingly, the trading of the Company’s Common Stock was suspended on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on August 29, 2019 and the Company's Common stock began trading on the OTCQX under the trading symbol "DVCR."  On October 11, 2019 Nasdaq filed a Form 25 with the Securities & Exchange Commission to effect the formal delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which became effective October 21, 2019. The Form 25 filing did not cause the removal of any shares of the Company’s common stock from registration under the Exchange Act. The Company remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.  Delisting from Nasdaq may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities.

Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2019 and in "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors" below, for a discussion of various risk factors of the Company and that are inherent in the health care industry.

In addition, we disclaim any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The chief market risk factor affecting our financial condition and operating results is interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2017,2020, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $87.6$59.6 million, $58.8$33.5 million of which was subject to variable interest rates. In connection with our February 2016 financing agreement, we entered into an interest rate swap with an initial notional amount of $30.0 million to mitigate the floating interest rate risk of a portion of such borrowing. In the event that interest rates were to change 1%, the impact on future pre-tax cash flows would be approximately $0.6$0.3 million annually, representing the impact of increased or decreased interest expense on variable rate debt.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2017.2020. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures that, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. Management does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, irrespective of how well it is designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance, and cannot guarantee that it will succeed in its stated objectives.
Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017,2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit


under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
ThereChanges in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We implemented certain changes to our accounting processes and control activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically for identifying, capturing and recording all COVID-19 expenses, calculating lost revenue and recognizing stimulus revenue and other operating income. We continue to assess the potential impact of COVID-19 to our control environment and make changes as necessary.
Other than the items described above, there have been no changes into our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 20172020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The provision of health care services entails an inherent risk of liability. Participants in the health care industry are subject to lawsuits alleging malpractice, negligence, violations of false claims acts, product liability, or related legal theories, many of which involve large claims and significant defense costs. Like many other companies engaged in the long-term care profession in the United States, we have numerous pending liability claims, disputes and legal actions for professional liability and other related issues. It is expected that we will continue to be subject to such suits as a result of the nature of our business. Further, as with all health care providers, we are periodically subject to regulatory actions seeking fines and penalties for alleged violations of health care laws and are potentially subject to the increased scrutiny of regulators for issues related to compliance with health care fraud and abuse laws and with respect to the quality of care provided to residents of our facilities. Like other health care providers, in the ordinary course of our business, we are also subject to claims made by employees and other disputes and litigation arising from the conduct of our business.
As of September 30, 2017,2020, we are engaged in 7182 professional liability lawsuits. SevenTwenty-two lawsuits are currently scheduled for trial or arbitration during the next twelve months, and it is expected that additional cases will be set for trial or hearing. The ultimate results of any of our professional liability claims and disputes cannot be predicted. We have limited, and sometimes no, professional liability insurance with regard to most of these claims. A significant judgment entered against us in one or more of these legal actions could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and cash flows.
In July 2013,February 2020, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Company learned thatU.S. Department of Justice and the United States Attorney for the Middle DistrictState of Tennessee ("DOJ") had commenced a civil investigation of potentialactions alleging violations of the federal False Claims Act ("FCA"). In October 2014,in connection with our provision of therapy and the completion of certain resident admission forms. This settlement resolved an investigation that had begun in 2012 and covers the time period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2015. This agreement requires material annual payments for a period of five years ending in February 2025 and also requires a contingent payment in the event the Company learned that the investigation was started by the filing under seal of a false claims action against twosells any of its centers. In responseowned facilities during the five year payment period. Failure to civil investigative demands (“CIDs”) and informal requests, the Company has provided to the DOJ documents and information relating to the Company’s practices and policies for rehabilitation and other services, relating to the preadmission evaluation forms ("PAEs") required by TennCare, and relating to the Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Reviews ("PASRRs") required by the Medicare program. The DOJ has also obtained testimony from current and former employeesmake timely any of these payments could result in rescission of the Company. The DOJ’s civil investigation has been focused on sixsettlement and result in the government having a very large claim against us, including penalties, and/or make us ineligible to participate in certain government funded healthcare programs, any of which could in turn significantly harm our centers, butbusiness and financial condition.
In conjunction with the DOJ has indicated that allsettlement of the Company’s centers are the subject of thegovernment investigation related to rehabilitation therapy.
In June 2016,our therapy practices, we entered into a corporate integrity agreement (the "CIA") with the Company received an authorized investigative demand (a formOffice of subpoena) for documents in connection withthe Inspector General of CMS. The CIA has a criminal investigation by the DOJ related to our practices with respect to PAEsterm of five years and PASRRs. The Company has responded to this subpoena and provided additional information as requested. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these investigations or the related lawsuits, and the outcome could have a materially adverse effectimposes material burdens on the Company, including the imposition of treble damages, criminal charges, fines, penalties and/or a corporate integrity agreement. The Company is committedits officers and directors to provide caring and professional servicestake actions designed to its patients and residents ininsure compliance with applicable healthcare laws, including requirements to maintain specific compliance positions within the Company, to report any non-compliance with the terms of the CIA, to return any overpayments received, to submit annual reports and regulations.for an annual audit of submitted claims by an independent review organization. The CIA sets forth penalties for non-compliance by the Company with the terms of the agreement, including possible exclusion from federally funded healthcare programs for material violations of the CIA.
In January 2009, a purported class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Garland County, Arkansas against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and Garland Nursing & Rehabilitation Center (the “Center”). The Company answered the original complaint in 2009, and there was no other activity in the case until May 2017. At that time, plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting new causes of action. The amended complaint alleges that the defendants breached their statutory and contractual obligations to the patients of the Center over a multi-year period by failing to meet minimum staffing requirements, failing to otherwise adequately staff the Center and failing to provide a clean and safe living environment in the Center. The Company has filed an answer to the amended complaint denying plaintiffs’ allegations and has asked the Court to dismiss the new causes of action asserted in the amended complaint because the Company was prejudiced by plaintiff’s long delay in filing the amended complaint. The Court has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss, so the lawsuit remains in its early stages and has not yet been certified by the court as a class action. The Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.
We cannot currently predict with certainty the ultimate impact of any of the above cases on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Our reserve for professional liability expenses does not include any amounts for the pending DOJ investigation or the purported class action against the Arkansas center. An unfavorable outcome in any of these lawsuits, any of our professional liability actions, any regulatory action, or any investigation or lawsuit alleging violations of fraud and abuse laws or of elderly abuse laws or any state or Federal False Claims Act law could subject us to fines, penalties and damages, including exclusion from the Medicare or Medicaid programs, and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information containedset forth in this Quarterly Report,report, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties that we believediscussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results and are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors”results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed withare not the SEC on March 2, 2017.only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties which are not presentlycurrently known to us whichor that we currently deem immaterial or which are similar
47


to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general,be not material also may also materially and adversely affect any of our business, financial position condition and/or operating results. We are including the following revised risk factors, which update and supersede the corresponding risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and adding new risk factors, both which should be read in conjunction with our description of risk factors in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019:
Disasters and similar events may seriously harm our business.
Natural and man-made disasters, pandemics or epidemics, including terrorist attacks and acts of nature such as hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes and wildfires, may cause damage or disruption to us, our employees and our centers, which could have an adverse impact on our patients and our business. Our affiliated facilities in Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and Texas may be more susceptible to damage caused by natural disasters including hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding. In order to provide care for our patients, we are dependent on consistent and reliable delivery of food, pharmaceuticals, utilities and other goods to our centers, and the availability of employees to provide services at our centers.  If the delivery of goods or the ability of employees to reach our centers were interrupted in any material respect due to a natural disaster, pandemic or other reasons, it would have a significant impact on our centers and our business.  Furthermore, the impact, or impending threat, of a natural disaster has in the past and may in the future results.require that we evacuate one or more centers, which would be costly and would involve risks, including potentially fatal risks, for the patients.  The impact of disasters, pandemics and similar events is inherently uncertain.  Such events could harm our patients and employees, severely damage or destroy one or more of our centers, harm our business, reputation and financial performance, or otherwise cause our business to suffer in ways that we currently cannot predict.
The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted many aspects of the economy and our industry and it is unclear what the ultimate impact on our business will be.  Federal, state and local governments and health departments have taken a number of unprecedented actions as precautionary measures to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and may take additional steps.  Governments have implemented social distancing measurements which have caused, and may continue to cause patients to postpone or refuse necessary care in an attempt to avoid possible exposure to COVID-19.  Restrictions or limitations on admissions to our centers may have a negative impact on us. Although social contact restrictions have eased across the U.S., some restrictions remain in place, and some states are re-imposing these restrictions due to increasing rates of COVID-19 cases. Measures we are taking to limit the spread of the virus include implementing screening protocols for staff, residents, and visitors. CMS has announced that it will begin requiring nursing homes in states with positive testing rates above a certain threshold to test all staff on a weekly basis.
Although we are implementing considerable safety measures, caring for COVID-19 patients has associated risks. In addition, we have experienced reduced occupancy in our centers, in part due to perceived risks by patients and family members of residential care and their perception of restrictions such as limited visitation policies, a reduction in patients released to nursing homes from hospitals and other healthcare facilities, and a general reluctance to seek medical care or interface with the healthcare system during the pandemic or for an undetermined period of time. Occupancy may also be affected by the data each nursing home is required to report, including the number of confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 and resident deaths related to COVID-19, which is made publicly available through the CDC National Healthcare Safety Network.  
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, increased expenses arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents in our centers that have tested positive for COVID-19 have caused an increase in the costs of caring for the residents in that center and may also cause a reduced occupancy at those centers. We have also incurred additional expenditures preparing our centers for potential outbreaks and providing care to our residents during required or recommended periods of isolation. In addition, we may experience supply chain disruptions, including delays and price increases in equipment, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies. Staffing, equipment, and pharmaceutical and medical supplies shortages may impact our ability to admit and treat patients. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused our centers and our management to spend considerable time planning, which diverts their attention from other business concerns. Our future operations, financial condition, results of operations, compliance with financial covenants and liquidity will continue to be impacted materially by developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to:
duration and severity of the spread of COVID-19 in our core markets and among our patients and staff;
effectiveness of measures we are taking to respond to COVID-19;
increases in patients and/or staff infected by COVID-19 who reside or work at our centers and the resulting impact on occupancy and new admissions;
significantly reduced occupancy as a result of local government-imposed quarantines, including shelter-in-place mandates, sweeping restrictions on travel, and substantial changes to selected protocol within the healthcare system across the United States, including cancelled or rescheduled elective procedures at referring hospitals in our markets and the resulting impact to the volume of new admissions to our centers;
48


governmental and administrative regulations as well as the nature and adequacy of financial relief and other forms of support for our industry;
the timing and impact of termination of state or federal financial relief measures or the inability of states to continue to make payments to our centers for state funded services;
disruptions to operations due to shortages in center-based staffing needs;
disruptions and shortages to the supply chain of critical services and supplies, including personal protective equipment and the capacity to test patients and employees for COVID-19;
increases in expenses related to staffing, supply chain or other expenditures including additional protocols implemented in connection with CDC and related isolation procedures, including obligations to test patients and staff for COVID-19;
increases in workers' compensation expense, insurance premiums and potential lawsuits against the Company by patients or their families as a result of COVID-19 in our centers; and
Significant disruption of the global financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital in the future.
We are continuing to evaluate and consider the potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, which could result in these or other negative outcomes and adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. There can be no assurances that COVID-19 or another pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious illness, will not have a material and adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition in the future.
There is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the implementation and impact of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act, and future stimulus or relief legislation, if any. There can be no assurance as to the total amount of financial assistance or types of assistance we will receive or retain, that we will be able to benefit from provisions intended to increase access to resources and ease regulatory burdens for healthcare providers or that additional stimulus legislation will be enacted.
The CARES Act is a $2 trillion economic stimulus package signed into law on March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to stabilize the U.S. economy, the CARES Act provides for cash payments to individuals and loans and grants to small businesses, among other measures. The PPPHCE Act, an expansion of the CARES Act that includes additional emergency appropriations, was signed into law on April 24, 2020. Together, the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act authorize $175 billion in funding to be distributed to hospitals and other healthcare providers through the PHSSEF. These funds are intended to reimburse eligible providers, including public entities and Medicare- and/or Medicaid-enrolled providers and suppliers, for healthcare-related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. As long as the recipient has sufficient COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 and complies with certain terms and conditions, PHSSEF payments are not required to be repaid. The terms and conditions including, among other things, complying with reporting requirements, limitations on balance billing and restrictions against using PHSSEF funds to reimburse expenses or losses that other sources are obligated to reimburse. HHS initially allocated $50 billion of the provider relief funding for general distribution to Medicare providers impacted by COVID-19, to be distributed proportional to providers' share of 2018 net patient revenue. HHS is currently working to distribute $15 billion to eligible Medicaid, CHIP, dental and assisted living providers that have not received a payment from the general distribution allocation. Recently, HHS announced a new "Phase 3" $20 billion General Distribution for all previously eligible applicants, behavioral health providers and certain new providers that began operations in 2020. In addition to the general distributions, HHS allocated $4.9 billion in targeted distribution funding to skilled nursing facilities, with a fixed $50,000 distribution for each skilled nursing facility and variable distributions based on number of beds, and an additional $5 billion to be distributed to nursing homes that complete training focused on infection control and best practices. HHS made other targeted distributions for providers in areas particularly impacted by COVID-19, providers of services with lower shares of Medicare reimbursement or who predominantly serve the Medicaid population, and providers requesting reimbursement for treatment of uninsured Americans, among others. A portion of the available funding is being distributed to reimburse health care providers that submit claims requests for COVID-19 related testing and treatment of uninsured patients at Medicare rates.
The CARES Act also made available or expanded other forms of financial assistance for healthcare providers, including through Medicare and Medicaid payments adjustments and an expansion of the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program, which makes available accelerated payments of Medicare funds in order to increase cash flow to providers. This program is no longer available and the Company elected not to participate in this program. In addition to financial assistance, the CARES Act includes provisions intended to increase access to medical supplies and equipment and ease legal and regulatory burdens on healthcare providers. Many of these measures, such as flexibilities related to the provision of telehealth services and waiver of the requirement for a three-day prior hospitalization for Medicare coverage of a skilled nursing facility

stay, are effective only for the duration of the public health emergency. The CARES Act also includes numerous income tax provisions including changes to the Net Operating Loss rules and business interest expense deduction rules.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received $42.3 million in payments from the PHSSEF established under the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act. We are eligible to apply; however, we do not know whether we will ultimately receive additional payment. We are closely tracking our use of the funds received under the CARES Act and the PPPHCE Act in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms and conditions, including applicable reporting requirements. Given uncertainty in HHS reporting requirements, we cannot predict with certainty whether we will have sufficient COVID-19 attributable expenses and lost revenues to retain all of the PPHSSEF funds that we have received. The Company is working to track and document that we appropriately use all CARES Act and PPHCE funds received, however the Company can offer no assurance that it will be in compliance with all requirements related to retaining or the forgiveness of the payments received under the CARES Act or the PPPHCE Act.If we fail to appropriately comply with all of the terms and conditions or do not have sufficient expenses and lost revenues (as defined by these programs), the Company may be required to repay some or all of these amounts, which could have a material adverse impact.
Due to the recent enactment of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act, and other enacted legislation, there is still a high degree of uncertainty surrounding their implementation, and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Some of the measures allowing for flexibility in delivery of care and various financial supports for health care providers are available only for the duration of the public health emergency, and it is unclear whether or for how long the public health emergency declaration will be extended. The current declaration expires January 21, 2021. The HHS Secretary may choose to renew the declaration for successive 90-day periods for as long as the emergency continues to exist and may terminate the declaration whenever he determines that the public health emergency no longer exists. The federal government may consider additional stimulus and relief efforts, but we are unable to predict whether additional stimulus measures will be enacted or their impact. There can be no assurance as to the total amount of financial and other types of assistance we will retain under the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act, or will receive from future legislation, if any, and it is difficult to predict the impact of such legislation on our operations or how it will affect operations of our competitors. Moreover, we are unable to assess the extent to which anticipated negative impacts on us arising from the COVID-19 pandemic will be covered by amounts or benefits received, and which we may in the future receive, under the CARES Act or PPPHCE Act. There can be no assurance that the terms and conditions of provider relief funding or other relief programs will not change in ways that affect our ability to comply with such terms and conditions in the future, the amount of total stimulus funding we will receive or our eligibility to participate in such stimulus funding. We continue to assess the potential impact of COVID-19 and government responses to the pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Litigation and/or investigations regarding COVID-19 could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, compliance with financial covenants and liquidity.
A growing number of professional liability and employment related claims have been filed or are threatened to be filed against us and our subsidiaries related to COVID-19. The professional liability claims relate to the death of residents of nursing centers who contracted COVID-19. Such claims may be subject to liability protection provisions within various state executive orders or legislation and/or federal legislation. The applicability of such protection has not yet been adjudicated in any pending claim against us. The employment related claims have been filed by our employees or by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or state agencies, and these claims primarily relate to allegations of disability or Family and Medical Leave Act discrimination or the inadequacy of the personal protective equipment made available to the employees who work in our nursing centers.
A U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, announced an investigation into the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in nursing homes, demanding information from both the federal government and companies in our industry. In addition, the Attorneys General of several states have initiated inquiries into the nursing facility industry’s and/or our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and they have requested information from us. We intend to cooperate fully with these investigations.
While we deny any wrongdoing and will vigorously defend our self in these matters, managing litigation and responding to governmental investigations is costly and may involve a significant diversion of management attention. Such proceedings are unpredictable and may develop over lengthy periods of time. An adverse resolution of any of these lawsuits or investigations may involve injunctive relief and/or substantial monetary penalties, either or both of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and cash flows.
The high levels of infected COVID-19 patients and deaths at senior living communities and resulting negative publicity may have a long-term significant detrimental impact on the senior living industry, including us, even if our senior living communities do not experience similar levels of COVID-19 infections and deaths as others in the industry.
50


COVID-19 has proven to be particularly harmful to seniors and persons with other pre-existing health conditions. If the senior living industry continues to experience high levels of residents infected with COVID-19 and related deaths, and news accounts emphasize these experiences, seniors may delay or forgo moving into senior living communities or using other services provided by senior living operators. These trends could be realized across the senior living industry and not discriminate among owners and operators that have higher or lower levels of residents experiencing COVID-19 infections and related deaths. As a result, our senior living communities’ business and our results of operations may experience a long-term significant detrimental impact.
