Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) and certain information incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements and information within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This information includes assumptions made by, and information currently available to management, including statements regarding future economic performance and financial condition, liquidity and capital resources, and management’s plans and objectives. In addition, certain statements included in this Quarterly Report, in the Company’s future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by us or with our approval, which are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “project,” “continue,” “predict,” “will,” and other words or expressions of similar meaning are intended by us to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations about future events or results and information that is currently available to us, involve assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, and speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. 
All forward-looking statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in predicting the future. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those projected, stated or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including the Company’s critical accounting policies and risks and uncertainties related to, but not limited to, the operating results of the Company’s tenants, the overall industry environment and the Company’s financial condition. These and other risks and uncertainties are described in more detail in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as other reports that the Company files with the SEC. 
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any subsequent date. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur, except as required by applicable laws, and you are urged to review and consider disclosures that the Company makes in this Quarterly Report and other reports that the Company files with the SEC that discuss factors germane to the Company’s business.

Description of Business

AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”) is the former parent of, and the predecessor issuer to, Regional Health Properties, Inc. (“Regional Health” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “we”). On September 29, 2017, AdCare merged (the “Merger”) with and into Regional Health, a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare formed for the purpose of the Merger, with Regional Health continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. The Company now has many of the characteristics of a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and is focused on the ownership, acquisition and leasing of healthcare related properties. For a description of the Merger, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplemental Data, Note 1 - Organization andSummary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”(“SEC”) on April 17, 201716, 2018 (the “Annual Report”), for a description of all significant accounting policies. 

Description of Business
Regional Health Properties, Inc. (“Regional Health”), through its subsidiaries (together, the “Company” or “we”),.

The Company is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living. The Company’s business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities to third-party tenants, which operate suchthe facilities. The operators of the Company’s facilities provide a range of healthcare services, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents.


Regional Health’s predecessor was incorporated in Ohio on August 14, 1991, under the name Passport Retirement, Inc. In 1995, the company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and changed its name to AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”). AdCare completed its initial public offering in November 2006. Initially based in Ohio, AdCare expanded its portfolio through a series of strategic acquisitions to include properties in a number of other states, primarily in the Southeast. In 2012, AdCare relocated its executive offices and accounting operations to Georgia, and AdCare changed its state of incorporation from Ohio to Georgia on December 12, 2013. On September 29, 2017, AdCare merged (the “Merger”) with and into Regional Health a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare formed for the purposes of the Merger with Regional Health continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger.

As a consequence of the Merger:
the outstanding shares of AdCare’s common stock, no par value per share (the “AdCare common stock”), converted, on a one for one basis, into the same number of shares of Regional Health’s common stock, no par value per share (the “RHE common stock”);
the outstanding shares of AdCare’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “AdCare Series A Preferred Stock”) converted, on a one for one basis, into the same number of shares of Regional Health’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “RHE Series A Preferred Stock”);
the board of directors (the “AdCare Board”) and executive officers of AdCare immediately prior to the Merger are the board of directors (the “RHE Board”) and executive officers, respectively, of Regional Health immediately following the Merger, and each director and executive officer continued his directorship or employment, as the case may be, with Regional Health under the same terms as his directorship or employment with AdCare immediately following the Merger;
Regional Health assumed all of AdCare’s equity incentive compensation plans, and all rights to acquire shares of AdCare common stock under any AdCare equity incentive compensation plan converted into rights to acquire RHE common stock pursuant to the terms of the equity incentive compensation plans and other related documents, if any;
Regional Health began public trading as a NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) listed company as the successor issuer to AdCare and succeeded to the assets and continued the business and assumed the obligations of AdCare;
the rights of the holders of RHE common stock and RHE Series A Preferred Stock are governed by the amended and restated articles of incorporation of RHE (the “RHE Charter”) and the amended and restated bylaws of RHE (the “RHE Bylaws”). The RHE Charter is substantially equivalent to AdCare’s articles of incorporation, as amended (the “AdCare Charter”), except that the RHE Charter includes ownership and transfer restrictions related to the RHE common stock. The RHE Bylaws are substantially equivalent to the Bylaws of AdCare, as amended;
there was no change in the assets we hold or in the business we conduct; and
there is no fundamental change to our current operational strategy.


When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise specifically stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms:

“Board” or “Board of Directors” refers to the AdCare Board with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to the RHE Board with respect to the period after the Merger;
“Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to AdCare and its subsidiaries with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to Regional Health and its subsidiaries with respect to the period after the Merger;
“common stock” refers to the AdCare common stock with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to the RHE common stock with respect to the period after the Merger;
“Series A Preferred Stock” refers to the AdCare Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the period prior to the Merger and to the RHE Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the period after the Merger; and

The Company leases its currently-owned healthcare properties, and subleases its currently-leased healthcare properties, on a triple-net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the third-party operator of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable. These leases are generally long-term in nature with renewal options and annual rent escalation clauses. The Company has many of the characteristics of a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and is focused on the ownership, acquisition and leasing of healthcare properties. As a result of the Merger, the RHE Charter contains ownership and transfer restrictions with respect to the common stock. These ownership and transfer restrictions will better position the Company to comply with certain U.S. federal income tax rules applicable to REITs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to the extent such rules relate to the common stock. The Board continues to analyze and consider: (i) whether and, if so, when, the Company could satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT under the Code; (ii) the structural and operational complexities which would need to be addressed before the Company could qualify as a REIT, including the disposition of certain assets or the termination of certain operations which may not be REIT compliant; and (iii) if the Company were to qualify as a REIT, whether electing REIT status would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders in light of various factors, including our significant consolidated federal net operating loss carryforwards. There is no assurance that the Company will qualify as a REIT in future taxable years or, if it were to so qualify, that the Board would determine that electing REIT status would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company owns, leases,owned, leased, or managesmanaged for third parties 30 facilities which are located, primarily in the Southeast.Southeast United States. Of the 30 facilities, the Company: (i) leased 14 owned facilities and subleased 11 leased skilled nursing facilities to third-party tenants; (ii) leased two owned assisted living facilities to third-party tenants; and (iii) managed on behalf of third-party owners two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility (see Note 7 - Leases herein and Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplemental Data,Note 7 - Leases in the Annual Report for a more detailed description of the Company’s leases).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principlesU.S. generally accepted in the United States of Americaaccounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of RegulationsRegulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 20162017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 20162017 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 


You should read the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report together with the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, included in the Annual Report. 


See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Annual Report, for a description of all significant accounting policies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were no material changes to the Company’s policies, except as noted below in RecentlyAdopted Standards.

Use of Estimates


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atin the date of theunaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, self-insurance reserves, deferred tax valuation allowance, fair value of employee and nonemployee stock based awards, valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and cash flow projections.accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.


Adoption of the Classification of the Regional Health Properties, Inc.'s Series A Preferred Stock as Permanent Equity

The common stock is subject to the ownership and transfer restrictions set forth in the RHE Charter, which restrictions permit classification of the Series A Preferred Stock as permanent equity, under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480-10-S99-3A. The reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock as permanent equity was adopted on a prospective basis as of September 29, 2017, upon completion of the Merger.

Revenue Recognition and Allowances

Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company's triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectibilitycollectability is reasonably assured.probable. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in other assetsstraight-line rent receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. In the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future collection of rent from one or more tenant(s) of the Company’s facilities, rental income for the affected facilities will be recognized only upon cash collection, and any accumulated straight-line rent receivable will be reversed in the period in which the Company first deems rent collection no longer reasonably assured.


Management Fee Revenueprobable. Rental revenues for five facilities located in Ohio and Other. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as servicesone facility in North Carolina are provided. Further, the Company recognizes income from lease inducement receivables and interest income from loans and investments, using the effective interest method when collectibility is reasonably assured. We apply the effective interest methodrecorded on a loan-by-loan basis.cash basis (for additional information with respect to such facilities, see Note 7

– Leases).

Allowances. The Company assesses the collectibilitycollectability of ourits rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants. The Company bases its assessment of the collectibilitycollectability of rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company's evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments or payments on a working capital loan, then the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset or working capital loan for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectibilitycollectability of future rent payments required by a lease or required from a working capital loan to a tenant, then the Company may adjust its reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue or interest revenue from working capital loans to tenants recognized in the period the Company makes such change in its assumptions or estimates. estimates, see Note 7


– Leases).

As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company allowedreserved for approximately $2.9$1.4 million and $7.5$2.6 million, respectively, of gross patient care related receivables arising from ourits legacy operations. AllowanceAllowances for patient care receivables are estimated based on an aged bucket method as well as additional analyses of remaining balances incorporating different payor types. Any changes in patient care receivable allowances are recognized as a component of discontinued operations. All uncollected patient care receivables were fully allowedreserved at September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.  Accounts receivable, net, totaled $1.1$0.9 million at September 30, 20172018 and $2.4$0.9 million at December 31, 2016,2017.

Extinguishment of which $0.2Debt

The Company recognizes extinguishment of debt when the criteria for a troubled debt restructure are not met and the change in the debt terms is considered substantial. The Company calculates the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt (including deferred finance fees) and recognizes a gain or loss on the income statement of the period of extinguishment.

Pre-paid expenses and other

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $0.3 million and $0.9$0.3 million, respectively, related to patient care receivables from our legacy operations.in pre-paid expenses and other, primarily for directors’ and officers’ insurance and mortgage insurance premiums.


Self-Insurance

The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations during 2014 and 2015 in connection with its transition from an owner and operator of healthcare properties to a healthcare property holding and leasing company (see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Annual Report for more information). The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (iv) the status and likely success of any mediation or settlement discussions;discussions, including estimated settlement amounts and legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in such settlement, as applicable; and (v) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. The Company currently believes that most of the professional


and general liability actions, and particularly many of the most recently filed actions are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment. Consequently,judgment unless settlement is more advantageous to the Company. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company's estimatedestimate of settlement amounts for the pending actions, if applicable, and legal costs of settling or litigating the pending actions, accordingly.as applicable. Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve may not be sufficient to cover the settlement amounts actually incurred in settling the pending actions, or the legal costs actually incurred in settling or litigating the pending actions. Since these reservesSee Note 8 – Accrued Expenses and Other.

Other operating expenses and Other expense

Other operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 50.7%, to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared with $0.5 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease is due to: (i) a $0.3 million settlement expense related to Mr. McBride, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, in the prior year period; and (ii) $0.1 million investigation expense related to an internal investigation in the prior year period, offset by: (i) $0.1 million accrual for property taxes related to facilities whose rent payments are basedbeing recognized on estimates,a cash received basis; and (ii) approximately $0.1 million increase in contract services.

Other expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 100.0%, for the actualthree months ended September 30, 2018, compared with $0.1 million for the same period in 2017 and decreased by $0.4 million, or 97.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with $0.4 million for the same period in 2017. The prior period charge was related to expenses we incur may differ fromfor the amount reserved (see Note 8 - Accrued Expenses).

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments 
Accounting guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputsMerger.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant2017 financial information to conform to the fair value measurement.

Recently Adopted Standards

On January 1, 2018, the Company approximates their fair value. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values, they are receivable or payable on demand, or the interest rates earned and/or paid approximate current market rates.


Adopted Standards

On April 1, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASUASU”) 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersASU 2017-01”), which narrows the FASB definition of a business and provides a framework that gives entities a basis for making reasonable judgments about whether a transaction involves an asset or a business. ASU 2017-01 states that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the acquired asset is not a business. If this initial test is not met, an acquired asset cannot be considered a business unless it includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The primary differences between business combinations and asset acquisitions include recognition of goodwill at the acquisition date and expense recognition for transaction costs as incurred. We are applying ASU 2017-01 prospectively for acquisitions after April 1, 2017. Regardless of whether an acquisition is considered a business combination or an asset acquisition, we record the cost of the businesses (or assets) acquired as tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Intangibles primarily include certificates of need ("CON") but could include value of in-place leases and acquired lease contracts. For an asset acquisition, the cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired on a relative fair value basis and no goodwill is recognized. We estimate the fair value of assets in accordance with FASB ASC 805 and ASC 820. The fair value is estimated under market conditions observed at the time of the measurement date and depreciated over the remaining life of the assets.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, with the intention to simplify aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax impacts, classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. The various amendments within the standard require different approaches to adoption, on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company adopted the various amendments in its consolidated financial statements for the three month period ending March 31, 2017 with an effective date of January 1, 2017. The Company has elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 as codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASCASC”) 606,, which requires a company to recognize revenue when the company transfers control of promised goods and services to bea customer. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be receivedwhich a company expects to receive in exchange for such goods and services. ThisThe new revenue standard requiresdoes not apply to rental revenues, which are the disclosureCompany’s primary source of revenue. A company is also required to disclose sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance does not affectFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued several amendments to the recognitionstandards, which are intended to promote a more consistent interpretation and application of revenue from leases, which is approximately 95% of our revenue.the principals outlined in the standard. The new revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early application is permitted, beginning after December 15, 2016. Our revenue streams also include loan interest and management fees. Based on our initial assessment, management fees for providing back office services and support in our Consolidated Statements of Income are subject to ASC 606, and the Company believes the pattern and timing of recognition of income for the management fees will be consistent with the current accounting model.

The Company does not expect adoptionhas one contract (the “Management Contract”) to manage two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility for a third party, with payment for each month of thisservice received in full on a monthly basis.


Companies are permitted to adopt the standard using a retrospective transition method (i.e., restate all prior periods presented) or a cumulative effect method (i.e., recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance to have a material impact onat the Company’s consolidated financial condition, resultsdate of operations or cash flows.


In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which provides revised accounting guidance related to the accounting for and reportinginitial application with no restatement of financial instruments. This guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as a comprehensive new lease standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will requireprior periods). However, both methods allow companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance, ASC 840,Leases. ASU 2016-02 createselect certain practical expedients on transition that will help to simplify how a new Topic, ASC 842, Leases. This new Topic retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance.

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

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, guidanceClassification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies the treatment of several cash flow categories. In addition, the guidance clarifies that when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years,years. The Company adopted the guidance for the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2018 with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period.effective date of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance isASU 2016-15 did not expected to have a material impacteffect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.

Recent Significant Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017,February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, 2016-02, Leases, which simplifiesintroduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the required periodic testbalance sheet and, among other changes, eliminates the requirement in current GAAP for goodwill impairmentan entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which amends ASU 2016-02, to provide: (i) entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard; and modifies(ii) lessors with a practical expedient option, by class of underlying assets, to not separate non-lease components from the concept of impairment of goodwill under previous guidance, related lease components and, instead, to account for those components as a single lease component, if certain criteria are met. ASC 350,ASU 2016-02 Intangibles - Goodwill and OtherASU 2018-11. Under the updated guidance, a goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge are not effective for the amount by whichCompany until January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities currently are required to adopt the carrying amount exceedsnew leases standard using either: (i) a modified retrospective transition method, where an entity initially applies the reporting unit’s fair value, upnew leases standard (subject to specific transition requirements and optional practical expedients) at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements; or (ii) to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the total amountopening balance of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This simplification eliminates previous requirements to determineretained earnings in the implied fair valueperiod of goodwilladoption. The Company is evaluating this guidance and record a loss on impairment equalthe impact to the carrying value of goodwill less the implied fair value. Further, the ASU modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceedsCompany, as both lessor and lessee, on its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted on a prospective basis for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2017.

NOTE 2.EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 2.

EARNINGS PER SHARE


Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted averageweighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except: (i) net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the assumed conversion of convertible debt into shares of common stock; and (ii) the weighted averageweighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes potentially dilutive securities (such as options, warrants, non-vested common stock and additional shares of common stock issuable under convertible debt outstanding during the period) when such securities are not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities from options, warrants and warrantsunvested restricted shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Potentially dilutive securities from convertible debt are calculated based on the assumed issuance at the beginning of the period, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from their assumed issuance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, approximately 2.41.2 million and 4.52.4 million shares, respectively, of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted income (loss)loss per share calculation because including them would have been anti-dilutive for such periods.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash and investments of $3.5 million. In addition, management

Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, cash flows from operations (assuming that new tenants, for five of the Company’s facilities located in Ohio, are in place by December 31, 2018), and cash on hand. Management holds routine ongoing discussions with existing lenders and potential new lenders to refinance current debt on a longer term basis and, in recent years, has refinanced shorter term acquisition debt with traditional longer term mortgage notes, manyrefinancing during the twelve months from the date of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2017 Sales Agreement”)generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of $1.3 million and anticipates continued positive cash flow from operations in the future.

On June 8, 2018, the Board indefinitely suspended dividend payments with JMP Securities LLCrespect to sell, from timethe Series A Preferred Stock. Such dividends are currently in arrears for the fourth quarter 2017 and the first, second and third quarter 2018 dividend periods. The Board plans to time, shares ofrevisit the dividend payment policy with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock havingon an aggregate offering priceongoing basis. The Board believes that the dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional funds to meet its ongoing liquidity needs.


As of up to $4,618,472, through an “at-the-market” offering program (the “ATM”). FromSeptember 30, 2018, the inceptionCompany had total current liabilities of $34.5 million and total current assets of $5.0 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $29.5 million. Included in current liabilities at September 30, 2018 is the $25.7 million current portion of the ATM through September 30, 2017,Company’s $80.9 million in indebtedness. The current portion of such indebtedness is comprised of approximately: (i) $19.3 million of long term-debt (including a $0.5 million “tail fee”) under the Company sold 50,000 sharesPinecone Credit Facility (as defined below), net of $0.1 associated deferred financing costs, classified as current due to the Company’s short-term forbearance agreement pursuant to noncompliance with certain covenants under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the lender’s ability to exercise default-related rights and remedies, including the acceleration of the Series A Preferred Stock generating net proceedsmaturity of such debt (as discussed below in this note); (ii) $4.1 million of senior debt associated with one facility in Oklahoma as described below maturing in April 2019, which we intend to seek to refinance as described below; (iii) $1.4 million of mortgage indebtedness included in the Company’s senior guaranteed debt; and (iv) other mortgage indebtedness of approximately $1.0$0.9 million. The Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately $2.4 million (see Note 12 - Common and Preferred Stock).

The Company extendedintends to seek to refinance the Company’s credit facility with Housing & Healthcare Finance, LLC (the “Quail Creek Credit Facility”), which is secured by a first mortgage on the real property and improvements constituting the Nursing & Rehabilitation Center located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and currently has a maturity date of a $1.2 million credit facility entered into in December 2012 between a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and First Commercial Bank associated with its Northwest Oklahoma facility (the “Northwest Credit Facility”), from December 31, 2017 to July 31, 2020.


On August 11, 2017, the Company extended the maturity date of the credit facilities entered into in April 2015, with respect to an aggregate of $0.5 million of indebtedness between certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the KeyBank National Association (the “Key Bank Credit Facility”), from October 17, 2017 to August 2,30, 2019.

To conserve cash while working towards a settlement of our on-going professional and general liability claims, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) voted to postpone the payment of the fourth quarter 2017 dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock. The Board will revisit the dividend payment in the first quarter 2018 meeting. The dividend suspension will allow the Company to pay outstanding vendors and fund ongoing legal expenses and settlement payments. The dividend suspension does not trigger a default under its outstanding indebtedness.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, the Company expects to receive full rent with respect to all the facilities (the “Peach Facilities”) subleased by a subsidiary of the Company to affiliates (collectively, “Peach Health Sublessee”) of Peach Health Group, LLC (“Peach Health”). The Peach Facilities were previously subleased to affiliates of New Beginnings Care, LLC (“New Beginnings”) prior to the bankruptcy of New Beginnings and are comprised of: (i) an 85-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Oceanside Facility”); (ii) a 50-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Savannah Beach Facility”); and (iii) a 131-bed skilled nursing facility located in Jeffersonville, Georgia (the “Jeffersonville Facility”). Rent for the Savannah Beach Facility, the Oceanside Facility, and the Jeffersonville Facility is $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.6 million per annum, respectively; but such rent was only $1 per month for the Oceanside Facility and Jeffersonville Facility until the date such facilities were recertified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) or April 1, 2017, whichever occurred first (the “Rent Commencement Date”). The Oceanside Facility and Jeffersonville Facility were recertified by CMS in February 2017 and December 2016, respectively. Furthermore, with respect to the Oceanside Facility and Jeffersonville Facility, Peach Health Sublessee is entitled to three months of $1 per month rent following the Rent Commencement Date and, following such three-month period, five months of rent discounted by 50%.

On September 19, 2016, the Company obtained options to extend the maturity date, subject to customary conditions, of a $4.3 million credit facility entered into in September 2013 between a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Housing & Healthcare Funding, LLC (the "Quail Creek Credit Facility") from September 2017 to September 2018. On August 10, 2017, the Company extended the maturity date of the Quail Creek Credit Facility to December 31, 2017 and retains the option to further extend the maturity date of such credit facility to September 2018. There is no assurance that wethe Company will be able to refinance or further extend the maturity date of this credit facilitydo so on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all.




Cash Requirements

At September 30, 2017,

On February 15, 2018, (the “Closing Date”) the Company had $73.8entered into a debt refinancing (“Pinecone Credit Facility”) with Pinecone Realty Partners II, LLC (“Pinecone”), with an aggregate principal amount of $16.25 million, which refinanced existing mortgage debt in indebtednessan aggregate amount of which the current portion is $8.3 million. The current portion is comprised of the following components: (i) convertible debt of $1.5$8.7 million (ii) senior debt of $4.3 million attributable to the Company’son three skilled nursing facilityproperties known as the Quail Creek Nursing & Rehabilitation Center located in Oklahoma City, OklahomaAttalla, College Park and Northwest (the “Quail Creek Facility”“Facilities”);, and (iii) other debtprovided additional surplus cash flow of approximately $2.5$6.3 million which includes senior debt - bond and mortgage indebtedness (for a detailed listing of our debt, seefor general corporate needs (see Note 9 - Notes Payable and Other Debt).


Regional Health is a guarantor of the Pinecone Credit Facility. Certain of the notes under the Pinecone Credit Facility are also guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Regional Health. The Company anticipates net principal disbursements, oversurplus cash flow from the next twelve months, of approximately $8.3 million, which includes $1.5Pinecone Credit Facility was used to fund $2.4 million of convertible debt, $4.3 million of senior debt attributable to the Quail Creek Facility, approximately $0.2 million of payments on shorter term vendor notes, $1.6 million of routine debt service amortization, and $0.7 million payment of other debt. Based on the described sources of liquidity, the Company expects sufficient fundsself-insurance reserves for its operations and scheduled debt service, at least through the next twelve months. On a longer term basis, at September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $11.0 million of debt maturities due over the two-year period ending September 30, 2019. These debt maturities include the aforementioned $1.5 million of convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into shares of the common stock, in addition to $4.3 million with respect tothe Quail Creek Credit Facility. The Company believes its long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied by cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings as required to refinance indebtedness as well as other sources, including issuances of convertible debt.

The Company is a defendant in a total of 42 unsettled professional and general liability cases. The claims generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets, of $6.7 million and $6.9 million at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company currently believes that most of thewith respect to 25 professional and general liability actions, and particularly manyto fund repayment of $1.5 million in convertible debt. The remaining $2.4 million in surplus cash proceeds from the Pinecone Credit Facility is used for general corporate purposes.

On May 10, 2018, Pinecone notified the Company in writing (the “Default Letter”) that the Company was in default under certain financial covenants of the most recently filed actions,loan documents evidencing the Pinecone Credit Facility (the “Pinecone Loan Documents”).  On May 18, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone with respect to the specified events of default set forth therein (the “Original Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things,  additional fees in the amount of $0.4 million were added to the outstanding principal balance under the Pinecone Credit Facility. The forbearance period under the Original Forbearance Agreement terminated on July 6, 2018 because the Company did not satisfy conditions in the Original Forbearance Agreement that required the Company to enter into an agreement with Pinecone to support a transaction or series of transactions to remedy the defaults specified in the Default Letter and the Original Forbearance Agreement.

On September 6, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new Forbearance Agreement (the “New Forbearance Agreement”) with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to specified events of default (the “Specified Defaults”) under the Pinecone Loan Documents.

The forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement is from September 6, 2018, the date on which certain conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement were satisfied, to December 31, 2018, unless the forbearance period is earlier terminated as a result of specified termination events, including a default or event of default under the Pinecone Loan Documents (other than any Specified Defaults) or any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to comply with the New Forbearance Agreement.

Pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Loan Documents. Such amendments, among other things: (i) remove the restriction on prepaying the loans during the thirteen (13) month-period after the Closing Date; (ii) provide a thirty (30)-day cure period for certain events of default and a fifteen (15)-day cure period for certain failures to provide information or materials pursuant to the Pinecone Loan Documents; (iii) increase the finance fee payable on repayment or acceleration of the loans, depending on the time at which the loans are defensiblerepaid ($0.25 million prior to December 31, 2018 and intends$0.5 million thereafter); and (iv) increase the outstanding principal balance owed by (a) approximately $0.7 million to defend them through final judgment. Accordingly,reimburse Pinecone for its accrued and unpaid expenses and to pay outstanding interest payments for prior interest periods and (b) $1.5 million fee described as a non-refundable payment of additional interest. During the self-insurance reserve primarily reflectsforbearance period under the Company's estimated legal costsNew Forbearance Agreement, the interest rate will revert from the default rate of litigating18.5% per annum to the pending actions,ongoing rate of 13.5% per annum.


Upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults), or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under thePinecone Credit Facility, together with all accrued interest and other amounts payable to Pinecone thereunder, immediately due and payable. Subject to the terms of the Pinecone Loan Documents, Pinecone may foreclose on the collateral securing the Pinecone Credit Facility (the “Collateral”). The Collateral includes, among other things, the Facilities and all assets of the borrowers owning the Facilities, the leases associated with the Facilities and all revenue generated by the Facilities, and rights under a promissory note in the amount of $5.2 million, issued by Regional Health pursuant to the Pinecone Credit Facility in favor of one of its subsidiaries, which are expectedsubsidiary is a borrower and guarantor under the Pinecone Credit Facility.

In addition, the equity interests in substantially all of Regional Health’s direct and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Pledged Subsidiaries”) have been pledged to be paid over timePinecone as litigation continues.part of the Collateral. The durationassets and operations of the Pledged Subsidiaries constitute substantially all of the Company’s assets and operations. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults) or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone may, in addition to its other rights and remedies, remove any or all of the managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries and appoint its own representatives as managers of such legal proceedingsPledged Subsidiaries. If Pinecone elects to appoint its own representatives as managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries, then such managers would control such subsidiaries and their assets and operations and could potentially restrict or prevent such subsidiaries from paying dividends or distributions to Regional Health. As a holding company with no significant operations, Regional Health relies primarily on dividends and distributions from the Pledged Subsidiaries to meet its obligations and pay dividends on its capital stock (when and as declared by the Board.)

The Pinecone Loan Documents provide that Pinecone’s rights and remedies upon an event of default are cumulative, and that Pinecone may exercise (although it is not obligated to do so) all or any one or more of the rights and remedies available to it under the Pinecone Loan Documents or applicable law. The Company does not know which rights and remedies, if any, Pinecone may choose to exercise under the Pinecone Loan Documents upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults) or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement. If Pinecone elects to appoint its own representatives as managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries, to accelerate the indebtedness under the Pinecone Credit Facility, or to foreclose on significant assets of the Company (such as the Facilities and/or the equity interests in the Pledged Subsidiaries), then it will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, and the Company’s ability to continue operations will be greater than one year subsequentmaterially jeopardized.

The current forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement expires on December 31, 2018, unless earlier terminated upon the occurrence of specified termination events under the New Forbearance Agreement. As of such date, Pinecone will no longer be required to forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to the period endedSpecified Defaults and may exercise all of its rights and remedies with respect to the Pinecone loan Documents at that time.

As of September 30, 2017; however, management cannot reliably estimate2018, eight of the exact timingCompany’s facilities were in arrears’ on their rent payments. Combined cash rental payments for all eight facilities total $0.4 million per month, or approximately 21% of payments. Theour anticipated total monthly rental receipts. As of September 30, 2018 the facilities in Ohio owe in aggregate approximately $1.8 million and the Symmetry related facilities owe in aggregate approximately $0.6 million. Five of these facilities located in Ohio and leased to affiliates of Beacon Health Management, LLC (“Beacon”) and the Company expectshas issued default notices to fund litigationthe operators of such facilities. Of the remaining three facilities in arrears on their rental payments, one such facility is located in North Carolina and potential indemnity costs through cash on hand as well as other sources as described above.two such facilities are located in South Carolina and all three of such facilities are leased to affiliates of Symmetry Healthcare Management, LLC (“Symmetry”) (for additional information with respect to such facilities, see Note 7 – Leases


During).

On September 20, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with Symmetry, pursuant to which Symmetry agreed to a payment plan for rent arrears and the Company agreed to an aggregate reduction of approximately $0.6 million in annualized rent with respect to the three months endedfacilities leased to Symmetry and waived approximately $0.2 million in rent that was in arrears with respect to such facilities, upon which Symmetry recommenced monthly rent payments with respect to such facilities of $0.1 million in the aggregate, starting with the September 30, 2017,1, 2018 amounts due.

Management is currently in negotiations with the Company generated positive cash flow from operationsoperators of the facilities located in Ohio to obtain payment of all unpaid rents and anticipates positive cash flow from operations throughto implement plans to ensure the remainderfuture payment of rent. Such plans may include replacing one or more of the current year. In orderoperators or negotiating a new agreement with one or more of the current operators to satisfyresume rent payments. If the Company agrees to additional or revised terms with any current operator, such terms may be less favorable to the Company than the terms provided in the current lease. Management believes that the Company will attain a resolution that allows for the resumption of rent at the remaining five facilities within a relatively short time frame. If the Company is unable to resume collection of rent with respect to the five facilities, it will hinder the Company’s capital needs,ability to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.


On August 28, 2018, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Letter”) from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”).  Specifically, the Letter informed the Company that the Exchange has determined that shares of the Company’s securities have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time and, pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, the Company’s continued listing is predicated on the Company effecting a reverse stock split of the common stock or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the Exchange determined to be no later than February 27, 2019. As a result of such noncompliance, the Company has become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide.

The Company intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in the Company Guide by undertaking a measure or measures that are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In connection with such efforts, the Company is submitting for approval at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of shareholders a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the common stock at a ratio of between one-for-six and one-for-twelve, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.  The common stock and Series A Preferred Stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while the Company seeks to: (i) refinance debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms; (ii) raise capital throughregain compliance with the issuancecontinued listing standard noted, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. If the Company fails to demonstrate a sustained price improvement or effect a reverse stock split of debt or equity securities; and (iii) increase operating cash flows through acquisitions.its common stock by February 27, 2019, then the Exchange may commence delisting procedures. The Company anticipates that these actions, if successful, will providedoes not expect the opportunityLetter to maintainaffect the Company’s business operations, or its liquidity, thereby permittingreporting obligations under the Company to better meet its operatingSecurities and financing obligations for the next twelve months. However, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful. Management’sExchange Commission regulations and rules, however management’s ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities and the terms upon which we are able to raise such capital may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain the listing of the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock on the NYSE American, formerly knownAmerican.

Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, the Company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or not the entity’s current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the entity to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the entity will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

In applying applicable accounting guidance, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, the Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months, the likelihood that the Company will be able to comply with the requirements in the Pinecone Loan Documents, including the New Forbearance Agreement, and Pinecone’s remedies in the event of non-compliance, as well as the NYSE MKT.

Company’s recurring business operating expenses.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with all of the requirements under the Pinecone Loan Documents, including the New Forbearance Agreement. Such compliance depends, in part, on the Company’s ability to work with outside parties, which is not within the Company’s exclusive control. If the Company is unable to comply with all the requirements under the Pinecone Loan Documents, including the New Forbearance Agreement, and Pinecone were to accelerate all obligations under the Pinecone Loan Documents or otherwise exercise its default-related rights or foreclose on the Collateral, then it would have a material adverse consequence on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company plans to continue to undertake measures to refinance certain loans, including the Pinecone Credit Facility, and to streamline its cost infrastructure. There is no assurance however, that these efforts will be successful. Due to the inherent risks, unknown results, and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters along with the direct correlation between these matters and the Company’s ability to satisfy the financial obligations that may arise over the applicable one-year period, the Company is unable to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.

Operating Leases

The Company leases a total of eleven skilled nursing facilities from unaffiliated owners under non-cancelable leases, all of which have rent escalation clauses and provisions requiring payment of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs by the lessee. Each of the skilled nursing facilities that are leased by the Company are subleased to and operated by third-party tenants. The Company also leases certain office space located in Suwanee, Georgia and Atlanta, Georgia. The Atlanta office space is subleased to a third-party tenant.


As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company is in compliance with all operating lease financial covenants.

Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators

The Company leases or subleases 27 facilities (16 owned by the Company and 11 leased to the Company) to third-party tenants on a triple net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the third-party tenant of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property, including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable.

Peach Health. On June 18, 2016, the Company entered into a master sublease agreement (the “Peach Health Sublease”) with Peach Health Sublessee, providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of and operate the Peach Facilities as subtenant. The Jeffersonville Facility and the Oceanside Facility were previously decertified by CMS in February and May 2016, respectively, for deficiencies related to the operations and maintenance of the facility while operated by the previous sublessee (seePart II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7 - Leases included in the Annual Report for additional information). The Jeffersonville Facility and the Oceanside Facility were recertified by CMS as of December 20, 2016 and February 7, 2017, respectively, which are the Rent Commencement Dates for such facilities.


The Peach Health Sublease became effective for the Jeffersonville Facility on June 18, 2016, and for the Savannah Beach Facility and the Oceanside Facility on July 13, 2016 (the date on which the Company accepted possession of the facilities from the previous sublessee). The Peach Health Sublease is structured as a triple net lease, except that the Company assumes responsibility for the cost of certain deferred maintenance at the Savannah Beach Facility and capital improvements that may be necessary for the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility in connection with recertification by CMS. Rent for the Savannah Beach Facility, the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility is $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.6 million per annum, respectively; provided, however, that rent was only $1 per month for the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility until the respective Rent Commencement Dates. In addition, for the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility, Peach Health Sublessee is entitled to three months of $1 per month rent following the respective Rent Commencement Dates and, following such three-month period, five months of rent discounted by 50%. The annual rent for each of the Peach Facilities will escalate at a rate of 3% each year pursuant to the Peach Health Sublease, and the term of the Peach Health Sublease for all three Peach Facilities expires on August 31, 2027.

In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company extended a line of credit to Peach Health Sublessee for up to $1.0 million for operations at the Peach Facilities (the “Peach Line”), with interest accruing on the unpaid balance under the Peach Line at a starting interest rate of 13.5%, increasing by 1% per annum. The entire principal amount due under the Peach Line, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, was due one year from the date of the first disbursement. The Peach Line

is secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable pursuant to a security agreement executed by Peach Health Sublessee.

On April 6, 2017, the Company modified certain terms of the Peach Line in connection with Peach Health Sublessee's securing a $2.5 million working capital loan from a third party lender (the “Peach Working Capital Facility”). Borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility are based on a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable. The modifications of the Peach Line include (as so amended, the “Peach Note”): (i) reducing the loan balance to $0.8 million and restricting further borrowings; (ii) extending the maturity of the loan to October 1, 2020 and adding a six month extension option by Peach Health Sublessee, assuming certain conditions precedent are met at the time of the exercise of the option; (iii) increasing the interest rate from 13.5% per annum by 1% per year; and (iv) establishing a four year amortization schedule. Payment of principal and interest under the Peach Note shall be governed by certain financial covenants limiting distributions under the Peach Working Capital Facility. Furthermore, the Company guaranteed Peach Health Sublessee’s borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility subject to certain burn-off provisions (i.e., the Company’s obligations under such guaranty cease after the later of 18 months or achievement of a certain financial ratio by Peach Health Sublessee).

At September 30, 2017, there was a $0.9 million outstanding balance on the Peach Note.

Arkansas Leases and Facilities.  Until February 3, 2016, the Company subleased through its subsidiaries (the “Aria Sublessors”) nine facilities located in Arkansas (collectively, the(the “Arkansas Facilities”) to affiliates (the “Aria Sublessees”) of Aria Health Group, LLC (“Aria”) pursuant to separate sublease agreements (the “Aria Subleases”). Effective February 3, 2016, the Company terminated each Aria Sublease due to the applicable Aria Sublessee’saffiliate’s failure to pay rent pursuant to the terms of such sublease. From February 5,April 1, 2016 to October 6, 2016, nine wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Skyline Lessor”) leased the Arkansas Facilities to Skyline Healthcare LLC (“Skyline”), or an affiliate of Skyline (the “Skyline Lessee”), pursuant to a Master Lease Agreement, dated February 5, 2016 (the “Skyline Lease”). The term of the Skyline Lease commenced on April 1, 2016. In connection with the Skyline Lease, the Skyline LessorsCompany entered into an Option Agreement, dated February 5, 2016, with Joseph Schwartz, the manager of Skyline, pursuant to which Mr. Schwartz, or an entity designated by Mr. Schwartz (the “Purchaser”), had an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Arkansas Facilities at a purchase price of $55.0 million, consisting of cash consideration in the amount of $52.0 million and a promissory note with a principal amount of $3.0 million.million and a maturity date of March 31, 2022 (the “Skyline Note”). The Company completed the sale of the Arkansas Facilities to the Purchaser on October 6, 2016. For further information seeThe Skyline Note is guaranteed by Joseph Schwartz and Roselyn Schwartz (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated September 30, 2016 (the “Guaranty”), executed by the Guarantors in favor of the Company (see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Note 710 - Leases– Acquisitions and Dispositions included in the Annual Report).

In connection with the closing of the sale of the Arkansas Facilities, the Company entered into a Subordination and Standstill Agreement, dated September 26, 2016 (the “Subordination Agreement”), with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (formerly the PrivateBank and Trust Company), as agent for the lenders specified therein (collectively, the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, the Company agreed to subordinate its claims and rights to receive payment under the Skyline Note or any document which may evidence or secure the indebtedness evidenced by such note, other than the Guaranty (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”), to the claims and rights of the Lenders to receive payment under certain revolving loans, with an initial aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million, and certain term loans, with an aggregate principal amount of $45.6 million (collectively, the “Loans”), each extended by certain of the Lenders to affiliates of Skyline (collectively, the “Skyline Borrowers”). Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, the Company may not accept payment of the Subordinated Debt, or take any action to collect such payment, if: (i) the Company has received notice from the Lenders that the Skyline Borrowers have failed to meet a specified financial covenant with respect to the Loans; or (ii) a default has occurred or is continuing with respect to the Loans. Pursuant to the Guaranty, the Guarantors have agreed to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Skyline Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest: (x) on the date on which the Skyline Borrowers or an affiliate thereof repays or refinances any of the Loans; (y) on the date on which the Skyline Borrowers or its affiliates sells any of the Arkansas Facilities which the Skyline Borrowers or its affiliates purchased with proceeds from the Loans; or (z) upon written notice from the Company to the Guarantors any time on or after the two year anniversary of the Skyline Note. As of the date of filing, the Company has not received written notice from the Lenders regarding conditions prohibiting repayment of the Skyline Note.

On April 24, 2018, Skyline entered into a management contract with a third party to manage the Arkansas Facilities. On October 12, 2018, the Company accepted a payment of approximately $1.0 million from such third party in full satisfaction of the Skyline Note, which represents a discount from the full amount of $3.0 million outstanding thereunder. In connection with such payment, the Company agreed to release the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty.


Meadowood.Beacon. On March 8, 2017, AdCare executedAugust 1, 2015, the Company entered into a purchase and salelease inducement fee agreement with Meadowood Retirement Village,certain affiliates (collectively, the "Beacon Affiliates") of Beacon, pursuant to which the Company paid a fee of $0.6 million as a lease inducement for certain Beacon Affiliates to enter into sublease agreements and to commence such subleases and transfer operations thereunder (the “Beacon Lease Inducement”). As of September 30, 2018, the balance of the Beacon Lease Inducement was approximately $0.5 million. On April 24, 2018, five Beacon affiliates (the “Ohio Beacon Affiliates”) informed the Company in writing that they would no longer be operating five (four owned and one leased by the Company) of the Company’s facilities located in Ohio (the “Ohio Beacon Facilities”) and that they would surrender operation of such facilities to the Company on June 30, 2018.

Symmetry. Affiliates of Symmetry (the “Symmetry Tenants”) lease the following facilities from the Company, pursuant to separate lease agreements which expire in 2030 (the “Symmetry Leases”): (i) the Company’s 106 bed, skilled nursing facility located in Sylvia, North Carolina (the “Mountain Trace Facility”); (ii) the Company’s 96-bed, skilled nursing facility located in Sumter, South Carolina (the “Sumter Facility”); and (iii) the Company’s 84-bed, skilled nursing facility located in Georgetown, South Carolina (the “Georgetown Facility”). On June 27, 2018, the Company notified Blue Ridge of Sumter, LLC, the tenant with respect to the Sumter Facility (the “Sumter Tenant”), and Meadowood Properties,Blue Ridge on the Mountain, LLC, the tenant with respect to the Mountain Trace Facility (the “Meadowood Purchase Agreement”“Mountain Trace Tenant”), that continued breach of the payment terms of the applicable Symmetry Lease would constitute an event of default. The Symmetry Tenants had alleged that the Company was in material breach of each of the Symmetry Leases with regard to deferred maintenance and were withholding rental payments on the basis of such allegations.  

The Mountain Trace Tenant has not paid approximately $0.2 million in rent owned for April through August 2018, the Sumter Tenant has not paid approximately $0.3 million in rent owed for May through August 2018, and Blue Ridge in Georgetown, LLC, the tenant with respect to the Georgetown Facility (the “Georgetown Tenant”), has not paid $0.05 million in rent owed for July and August 2018.  

On September 20, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with the Symmetry Tenants with respect to the Symmetry Leases, pursuant to which the Symmetry Tenants agreed to a payment plan for the rent arrears and the Company agreed to a reduction in annualized rent of approximately $0.6 million (the “Rent Concession”) and waived approximately $0.2 million in rent arrears, upon which the Symmetry Tenants recommenced monthly rent payments of $0.1 million starting with the September 1, 2018 amounts due under the Symmetry Leases.

The Company intends to acquireenforce its rights under the Meadowoodlease agreement for the Mountain Trace Facility for $5.5 million cash. On March 21, 2017, AdCare executedand pursue all remedies available to it under such lease agreement and applicable law. The Company is currently in negotiations with a long-termsuitably qualified replacement operator to take possession of the Mountain Trace Facility on December 1, 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to execute a new lease with an affiliaterespect to the Mountain Trace Facility on substantially equivalent terms to the current lease agreement or at all or that, if a new lease is executed, the new tenant will be able to take possession of C.R. Management (the “Meadowood Operator”)the Mountain Trace Facility on December 1, 2018. Consequently, the Company is recognizing revenue on a cash basis with respect to lease the MeadowoodMountain Trace Facility effective on May 1, 2017. For further information, see Note 10 - Acquisitions.

and has expensed approximately $0.5 million of straight-line rent asset for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.

Peach Health. On June 18, 2016, the Company entered into a master sublease agreement, as amended on March 30, 2018, (the “Peach Health Sublease”) with affiliates (collectively, “Peach Health Sublessee”) of Peach Health Group, LLC (“Peach Health”), providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of and operate three facilities located in Georgia (the “Peach Facilities”) as subtenant. The Peach Facilities are comprised of: (i) an 85-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Oceanside Facility”); (ii) a 50-bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Savannah Beach Facility”); and (iii) a 131-bed skilled nursing facility located in Jeffersonville, Georgia (the “Jeffersonville Facility”).

In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company extended a line of credit to Peach Health Sublessee for up to $1.0 million for operations at the Peach Facilities (the “Peach Line”), with an initial interest rate of 13.5% per annum, which increases by 1% per annum. The Peach Line had a maturity date one year from the date of the first disbursement and is secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable. On April 6, 2017, the Company modified certain terms of the Peach Line in connection with Peach Health Sublessee securing a $2.5 million revolving working capital loan from a third party lender (the “Peach Working Capital Facility”), subsequently capped at $1.75 million, which matures April 5, 2020. The Peach Working Capital Facility is secured by Peach Health Sublessee’s eligible accounts receivable, and all collections on the eligible accounts receivable are remitted to a lockbox controlled by the lender. The modifications of the Peach Line include: (i) reducing the loan balance to $0.8 million and restricting further borrowings; (ii) extending the maturity date to October 1, 2020 and adding a six month extension option by Peach Health Sublessee, subject to certain conditions; (iii) increasing the interest rate from 13.5% per annum by 1% per annum; and (iv) establishing a four-year amortization schedule. Payment of principal and interest under the Peach Line is governed by certain financial covenants limiting distributions under the Peach Working Capital Facility. Furthermore, the Company guaranteed Peach Health Sublessee’s borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility subject to certain burn-off provisions (i.e., the Company’s obligations under such guaranty cease after the later of 18 months or achievement of a certain financial ratio by Peach Health Sublessee). The Company is obligated to pay the outstanding balance on the Peach Working Capital Facility (after application of all eligible accounts receivable collections by the lender) if Peach Health Sublessee fails to comply with the Peach Working Capital Facility obligations and covenants. Fair value of the liability using the expected present value approach is immaterial.

At September 30, 2018, there was approximately $1.0 million outstanding on the Peach Line.

On April 30, 2017, the remaining $1.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes outstanding was repaid plus accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the terms of such notes, and all related obligations owed under the 2015 Notes were extinguished at that time.Pinecone Credit Facility.

(c)
On November 8, 2017, the Company extended the maturity date of the convertible debt issued in July 2012 from October 31, 2017 to April 30, 2018. Pursuant to the maturity date extension, the interest rate increased to 14.00% from 10.00% and the annual default interest rate increased from 14.00% to 18.00% per annum. In addition the Company agreed to grant a second priority security interest in the Company’s College Park facility, located in College Park, Georgia (the “College Park Facility”) no later than December 22, 2017. Failure to grant the security interest by December 22, 2017, will constitute an event of default under the promissory note.

Pinecone Credit Facility

On February 15, 2018, the Company entered into the Pinecone Credit Facility with Pinecone. The Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $16.25 million. The Pinecone Credit Facility refinanced existing mortgage debt in an aggregate amount of $8.7 million with respect to the Facilities. On May 18, 2018, the Company and Pinecone modified the debt and on September 6, 2018, the Company and Pinecone substantially changed the terms of the Loan to complete an exchange of debt and accordingly recorded a $3.5 million loss on extinguishment on the statement of operations for the period.

The maturity date of the Pinecone Credit Facility is August 15, 2020 and it originally bore interest at a fixed rate equal to 10% per annum for the first three months after the Closing Date and at a fixed rate equal to 12.5% per annum thereafter, subject to adjustment upon an event of default and specified regulatory events. The Pinecone Credit Facility is secured by, among other things, first priority liens on the Facilities and all tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers owning the Facilities, including all rent payments received from the operators thereof. Accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Pinecone Credit Facility is payable in consecutive monthly installments. Unless accelerated by Pinecone, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Pinecone Credit Facility is due on the maturity date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and a finance fee equal to 3% of the original principal amount.

The Pinecone Credit Facility is subject to customary operating and financial covenants and regulatory conditions for each of the Facilities, which could result in additional monthly interest charges during any non-compliance and cure period. The Pinecone Credit Facility is prepayable in full beginning on the date that is thirteen months after the Closing Date, subject to the payment of a specified finance fee and, with respect to any prepayment made between March 15, 2019 and September 15, 2019, a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the principal amount being repaid. A specified early termination fee is payable in the event any amount is prepaid (in whole or in part) or is accelerated on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Pinecone Credit Facility and the related documentation provide for customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Pinecone can declare: (i) the entire unpaid principal balance under the Pinecone Credit Facility, together with all accrued interest and other amounts payable, immediately due and payable; (ii) increase the interest rate to 18.5%; and (iii) foreclose on the Collateral.

On May 10, 2018, management was notified by Pinecone that the certain events of default under the Pinecone Credit Facility had occurred and were continuing. On May 18, 2018, the Company and Pinecone entered into the Original Forbearance Agreement, pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Original Forbearance Agreement, to forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to specified events of default under the Pinecone Credit Facility during the forbearance period provided for therein. The Original Forbearance Agreement outlined a plan of correction whereby the Company could regain compliance under the Pinecone Credit Facility. Requirements set forth in the Original Forbearance Agreement included, among other things, the hiring of a special consultant to advise management on operational improvements and to assist in coordinating overall company strategy. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Credit Facility.  Such amendments, among other things: (i) eliminate the Company’s obligation to complete certain lease assignments to suitably qualified replacement operators; (ii) require the payment of a specified “break-up fee” upon certain events, including prepayment of the Pinecone Credit Facility or a change of control; (iii) increase the ongoing interest rate from 12.5% per annum to 13.5% effective May 18, 2018; and (iv) increase the outstanding principal balance of the Pinecone Credit Facility by 2.5%.

The forbearance period under the Original Forbearance Agreement terminated on July 6, 2018 because the Company did not satisfy the condition set forth in the Original Forbearance Agreement requiring the Company to enter into an agreement with Pinecone to support a transaction or series of transactions to remedy the defaults specified in the Original Forbearance Agreement. Accordingly, as of such date, Pinecone was no longer required to forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to the specified defaults and could have exercised all of its rights and remedies under the Pinecone Credit Facility (including the application of an additional 5% interest on the outstanding loans under the Pinecone Credit Facility, the acceleration of such outstanding loans or foreclose on the Collateral).






On July 18, 2018, the Company received a letter from Pinecone stating that, as a result of the termination of the forbearance period under the Original Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone could accelerate its outstanding loans under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Company was obligated to pay interest on such loans at the default interest rate of 18.50% per annum.

On September 6, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to the Specified Defaults under the Pinecone Loan Documents.

The forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement is from September 6, 2018, the date on which certain conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement were satisfied, to December 31, 2018, unless the forbearance period is earlier terminated as a result of specified termination events, including a default or event of default under the Pinecone Loan Documents (other than any Specified Defaults) or any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to comply with the New Forbearance Agreement.

Pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Loan Documents. Such amendments, among other things: (i) remove the restriction on prepaying the loans during the thirteen (13) month-period after the Closing Date; (ii) provide a thirty (30)-day cure period for certain events of default and a fifteen (15)-day cure period for certain failures to provide information or materials pursuant to the Pinecone Loan Documents; (iii) increase the finance fee payable on repayment or acceleration of the loans, depending on the time at which the loans are repaid ($0.25 million prior to December 31, 2018 and $0.5 million thereafter); and (iv) increase the outstanding principal balance owed by (a) approximately $0.7 million to reimburse Pinecone for its accrued and unpaid expenses and to pay outstanding interest payments for prior interest periods and (b) $1.5 million as a non-refundable payment of additional interest. During the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, the interest rate will revert from the default rate of 18.5% per annum to the ongoing rate of 13.5% per annum.

Pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement which amends the Pinecone Loan Documents, the Company hired a financial advisor (a “Financial Advisor”) reasonably acceptable to Pinecone to advise management and the Company’s board of directors on operational improvements and to assist in coordinating overall company strategy, whose engagement shall include assisting the Company to obtain one or more sources of refinancing to repay the obligations under the Pinecone Loan Documents. The New Forbearance Agreement also amends the Pinecone Credit Facility to permit the Company to substitute or replace the operators of certain of the Company’s facilities without the prior written consent of Pinecone, provided that such substitution or replacement is on commercially reasonable terms, has been approved by a Financial Advisor, and the terms of which have been disclosed to Pinecone no later than two (2) business days prior to entry into definitive documentation and Pinecone has not objected during such time period.

The forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement expires on December 31, 2018, unless earlier terminated upon specified termination events. As of such date, Pinecone will no longer be required to forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to any Specified Defaults and may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the Pinecone Credit Facility at that time. For further information, see Note 3 Liquidity.

NOTE 12.COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

NOTE 11.

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK


Common and Preferred Stock Repurchase Activity


In November 2016, the Board approved two share repurchase programs (collectively, the "November 2016 Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which AdCare was authorized to repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of the common stock and 100,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock during a twelve-month period. The November 2016 Repurchase Program succeeded the repurchase program announced on November 12, 2015 (the “November 2015 Repurchase Program”), which terminated in accordance with its terms. Share repurchases under the November 2016 Repurchase Program could be made from time to time through open market transactions, block trades or privately negotiated transactions and were subject to market conditions, as well as corporate, regulatory and other considerations. The Company could suspend or continue the November 2016 Repurchase Program at any time and had no obligation to repurchase any amount of the common stock or the Series A Preferred Stock under such program. The November 2016 Repurchase Program was suspended in February 2017.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 150,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the November 2015 Repurchase Program for $0.3 million at an average purchase price of approximately $2.05 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees and made no repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Pursuant to the November 2015 Repurchase Program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock during a twelve-month period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made no repurchases of the Series A Preferred Stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased 118,199 shares of the common stock pursuant to the November 2016 Repurchase Program for $0.2 million at an average price of $1.54 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees, and made no repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2016.2017 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the Company made no repurchases of the Series A Preferred Stock.


Preferred Stock Offerings and Dividends


No dividends were declared or paid on the Series A Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Dividends declared and paid on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were $0.68 per share per quarter, or $1.9 million and $5.7 million respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $1.9 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended2017.

As of September 30, 2016, respectively.


During2018, as a result of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,suspension of the Company sold 106,796 and 336,905 shares ofdividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock underfor the Company’s At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, dated July 21, 2015 (the “2015 Sales Agreement”), at an average sale pricefourth quarter 2017 and the first, second and third quarter 2018 dividend periods, the Company has $7.6 million of $21.49 and $20.60 (excluding fees and commissions)undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears, or $1.9 million per share, respectively. The Company received net proceedsquarter.  On June 8, 2018, the Board determined to continue suspension of approximately $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $6.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, after payment of sales commissions and discounts and all other expenses incurred by the Company. The 2015 Repurchase Program expired in accordance with its terms.


Duringquarterly dividend on the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold, under the ATM and pursuant to the 2017 Sales Agreement, dated May 26,2017, a total of 50,000 sharesSeries A Preferred Stock indefinitely. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generating net proceedsare entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board out of $1.0 millionfunds of the Company legally available for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash dividends at an average priceannual rate equal to 10.875% of $21.80the $25.00 per share exclusivestated liquidation preference of commissions and related fees, and made no sales during the three months endedSeries A Preferred Stock, which is equivalent to an annual rate of $2.72 per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30, 2017. and December 31, of each year. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall continue to accrue and accumulate regardless of whether such dividends are declared by the Board.  The Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for four consecutive dividends periods, meaning (i) the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock will be increased to 12.875%, commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash; and (ii) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote, as a single class, for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Board, as further described in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company had 2,811,535 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. On August 2, 2017, the Company terminated the 2017 Sales Agreement and discontinued sales under the ATM.


Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights but have limited voting rights under certain circumstances. The Company may not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock before December 1, 2017, except the Company is required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock following a "Change of Control," as defined in the Charter. On and after December 1, 2017, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.


Prior to the Merger, the Company was required to classify the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity due to the change-in-control redemption provision contained in the Charter because, although deemed a remote possibility, a purchaser could acquire a majority of the voting power of the outstanding common stock without Company approval, thereby triggering redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, requires classification outside of permanent equity for redeemable instruments for which the redemption triggers are outside of the issuer's control. The assessment of whether the redemption of an equity security could occur outside of the issuer's control is required to be made without regard to the probability of the event or events that may result in the instrument becoming redeemable.

As a result of the Merger, the rights of the holders of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are now governed by the RHE Charter and the RHE Bylaws. The RHE Charter contains ownership and transfer restrictions with respect to the common stock which, among other things, prohibit any person (as defined in the RHE Charter) from beneficially or constructively owning, or being deemed to beneficially or constructively own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 9.9%, by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of common stock. As such, a change of control redemption can no longer be triggered outside of the Company’s control, thus permitting the Series A Preferred Stock to be classified as permanent equity. As a result, the Company reclassified the Series A Preferred Stock from temporary equity to permanent equity on a prospective basis as of September 29, 2017, the effective date of the Merger, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.

For historical information regarding the Series A Preferred Stock, the ATMCompany’s former “at-the-market” offering program and prior share repurchase programs, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 12 - Common and Preferred Stock included in the Annual Report.

NOTE 14. .                     VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Non-consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Aria. On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a lease inducement (the “Aria Lease Inducement”) with Aria Health Consulting, LLC with respect to the Aria Subleases. The Aria Lease Inducement provided for a one-time payment from the Company to Aria Health Consulting, LLC equal to $2.0 million minus the security deposits and first month’s base and special rent for all Aria Subleases. On April 30, 2015, in connection with the Aria Lease Inducement, eight of the Aria Subleases were amended to, among

other things, provide that the Aria Sublessees shall, collectively, pay to the Aria Sublessors special rent in the amount of $29,500 per month payable in advance on or before the first day of each month (except for the first special rent payment, which was subtracted from the lease inducement fee paid by the Company under the Aria Lease Inducement).
On July 17, 2015, the Company made a short-term loan to Highlands Arkansas Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Aria (“HAH”), for working capital purposes, and, in connection therewith, HAH executed a promissory note (the “ HAH Note”) in favor of the Company. Since July 17, 2015, the HAH Note has been amended from time to time and currently has an outstanding principal amount of $1.0 million and matured on December 31, 2016. On October 6, 2015, HAH and the Company entered into a security agreement, whereby HAH granted the Company a security interest in all accounts arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees, and all rights to payment from patients, residents, private insurers and others arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees (including any proceeds thereof), as security for payment of the HAH Note, as amended, and certain rent and security deposit obligations of the Aria Sublessees under Aria Subleases. Effective February 3, 2016, each Aria Sublessor terminated the applicable Aria Sublease due to the applicable Aria Sublessee’s failure to pay rent pursuant to the terms of such sublease. On May 31, 2016, HAH and nine of its affiliates filed petitions for relief under Chapter 7 (“Chapter 7”) of the  United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended (see Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies). On March 1, 2017, the bankruptcy trustee in the Aria bankruptcy proceeding, advised the Company that $0.8 million was available for repayment of all of Aria’s remaining obligations, including the HAH Note. Accordingly, the Company has charged a $0.2 million bad debt expense to the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Though management continues to believe that the remaining receivable balance on the HAH Note is collectible, there is no guarantee that the bankruptcy court will approve full repayment of the HAH Note to the Company or that the Company will prevail in any avoidance action that may be filed against it, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. For further information, see Note 7 - Leases and Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies.

The Aria Lease Inducement and HAH Note entered into by the Company create a variable interest that may absorb some or all of the expected losses of the Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). The Company does not consolidate the operating activities of the Aria Sublessees as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance.

Peach Health. In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company extended the Peach Line to Peach Health Sublessee in an amount of up to $1.0 million, with interest accruing on the unpaid balance under the Peach Line at a rate of 13.5% per annum. The entire principal amount due under the Peach Line, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, was due one year from the date of the first disbursement. The Peach Line is secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable pursuant to a security agreement executed by Peach Health Sublessee.

On April 6, 2017, the Company modified certain terms of the Peach Line in connection with Peach Health Sublessee's securing the Peach Working Capital Facility in the amount of $2.5 million. Borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility are based on a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable. The modifications of the Peach Line include: (i) reducing the loan balance to $0.8 million and restricting further borrowings; (ii) extending the maturity of the loan to October 1, 2020 and adding a six month extension option by Peach Health Sublessee, assuming certain conditions precedent are met at the time of the exercise of the option; (iii) increasing the interest rate from 13.5% per annum by 1% per year; and (iv) establishing a four year amortization schedule. Payment of principal and interest under the Peach Note shall be governed by certain financial covenants limiting distributions under the Peach Working Capital Facility. Furthermore, the Company guaranteed Peach Health Sublessee’s borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility subject to certain burn-off provisions (i.e., the Company’s obligations under such guaranty cease after the later of 18 months or achievement of a certain financial ratio by Peach Health Sublessee). As of September 30, 2017, $0.9 million was outstanding on the Peach Note. For further information on the Peach Health Sublease and Peach Line and Note, see Note 7 - Leases.

The Peach Note creates a variable interest that may absorb some or all of a VIE’s expected losses. The Company does not consolidate the operating activities of the affiliates of Peach Health as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Regulatory Matters


Laws and regulations governing federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from certain governmental programs. As of September 30, 2017,2018, all of the Company’s facilities leased and subleased to third-party operators and managed for third-parties are certified by CMSthe U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and are operational (see Note 7 - Leases).


Legal Matters


The Company is party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and is subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to the patients of the Company’s facilities and claims related to professional and general negligence, employment, staffing requirements and commercial matters. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters, there is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.


The Company previously operated, and the Company’s tenants now operate, in an industry that is extremely regulated. As such, in the ordinary course of business, the Company’s tenants are continuously subject to state and federal regulatory scrutiny, supervision and control. Such regulatory scrutiny often includes inquiries, investigations, examinations, audits, site visits and surveys, some of which are non-routine. In addition, we believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of long-term care providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Adverse determinations in legal proceedings or governmental investigations against or involving the Company, for the Company’s prior operations, or the Company’s tenants, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.


Professional and General Liability Claims. As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company wasis a defendant in a total of 42 unsettled21 professional and general liability actions primarily commenced on behalf of former patients, of which 28 cases were filed in the State of Arkansas by the same plaintiff attorney who represented the plaintiffs in the lawsuit captioned Amy Cleveland et. al. v. APHR&R Nursing, LLC et. al. filed on March 4, 2015 with the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, 16th Division, 6th Circuit. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, one professional and general liability claim against the Company was settled for $0.8 million and two previously dismissed without prejudice cases were refiled.patients. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. TwoDuring the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company has settlements in principal with respect to seven of these actions, subject to certain conditions, as discussed below. Of the pending14 actions not subject to settlement in principle, two such actions are covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage.coverage and five of such actions relate to events which occurred after the Company transitioned the operations of the facilities in question to a third-party operator and which are subject to such operators’ indemnification obligations in favor of the Company.  

On March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a separate mediation settlement agreement with respect to 25 actions filed in the State of Arkansas which were pending on such date. As discussed below, as of September 30, 2018, 18 of such actions have been dismissed with prejudice and seven of such actions remain subject to a settlement in principle. Each mediation settlement agreement provides for payment by the Company of a specified settlement amount, which settlement amount with respect to each action was deposited into the mediator’s trust account. The aggregate settlement amount for all such 25 actions arebefore related insurance proceeds is $5.2 million. The settlement of each such action must be individually approved by the probate court, and the settlement of one action is not conditioned upon receipt of the probate court’s approval with respect the settlement of any other action. Upon the probate court approving, with respect to a particular action, the settlement and an executed settlement and release agreement, the settlement amount with respect to such action will be disbursed to the plaintiff’s counsel. Under the settlement and release agreement with respect to a particular action, the Company will be released from any and all claims arising out of the applicable plaintiff’s care while the plaintiff was a resident of one of the Company’s facilities.

In connection with a dispute between the Company and the Company’s former commercial liability insurance provider regarding, among other things, the Company’s insurance coverage with respect to the 25 actions filed in various stagesthe State of discovery,Arkansas, the former insurer filed a complaint in May 2016 against the Company seeking, among other things, a determination that the former insurer had properly exhausted the limits of liability of certain of the Company’s insurance policies issued by the former insurer, and the Company intendssubsequently filed a counterclaim against the former insurer regarding such matters (collectively, the “Coverage Litigation”).  On March 12, 2018, the former insurer and the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Coverage Settlement Agreement”), providing for, among other things, a settlement payment by the former insurer in the amount of approximately $2.8 million (the “Insurance Settlement Amount”), the dismissal with prejudice of the Coverage Litigation, a customary release of claims by the former insurer and the Company, and agreement that that the former insurer has exhausted the policies’ respective limits of liability and has no further obligations under the policies. Pursuant to vigorously defend the claims.

Coverage Settlement Agreement: (i) on March 16, 2018, the former insurer deposited the Insurance Settlement Amount into the trust account of the mediator with respect to the 25 actions; and (ii) on March 20, 2018, the former insurer and the Company caused the Coverage Litigation, including the counterclaim, to be dismissed with prejudice.


Assuming, and subject to, the approval by the probate court of the settlement of the remaining seven actions subject to the agreement in principal and filed in the State of Arkansas and related matters, and the satisfaction of the other conditions with respect thereto, the Company will pay, net of the Insurance Settlement Amount, an aggregate of approximately $2.4 million in settlement of all 25 actions subject to the settlement in principle. The probate court approved settlements with respect to 15 of the 25 Arkansas actions during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 (having approved three in the first quarter of 2018), and approximately $3.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was paid from the mediator’s trust account in such settlements. The Company gives no assurance that the probate court will approve the settlement of the remaining seven Arkansas actions pending approval or that the other conditions to such settlements will be satisfied, or that such actions will be settled on the terms described herein or at all.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company settled one professional and general liability action (which was not subject to a mediation settlement agreement as discussed above) for a total of $50,000, payable in 10 monthly instalments commencing July 2018.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company was notified of one employment related action filed against the Company related to one of the Company’s discontinued operations. On August 1, 2018 the Company responded requesting dismissal without prejudice on multiple grounds, including being barred by the applicable statute of limitation. On October 4, 2018, the case against the Company was dismissed with prejudice.

The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets of $6.7$1.8 million and $6.9$5.1 million at September 30, 2017,2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

The OAG is seeking, among other things, triple the amount of damages proven at trial (plus interest) and not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each deceptive claim or falsification. As previously disclosed, the Company received a letter from the OAG in February 2014 demanding repayment of allegedly improper Medicaid claims related to glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and penalties of approximately $1.0 million, and the Company responded to such letter in July 2014 denying all claims. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2017 in which it denied the allegations. An order granting a motion to stay this proceeding was granted in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio on July 12,

2017. Although there is no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact on the Company’s business or its financial condition, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend the claim.

On April 21, 2017, the Company moved for relief from the automatic stay seeking release of its collateral, the Debtors’ accounts and their proceeds, the value of which the trustee has represented as a total of approximately $800,000.$0.8 million. The Company’s motion was opposed by the Chapter 7 trustee and another creditor opposed the Company’s motion in May 2017.  In its objection, the Chapter 7 trustee asserts that the Company is not entitled to any of the $800,000$0.8 million with respect to the HAH Note. Discovery with respect to the motion is ongoing and the matter is currently not on the calendar. In addition to opposing the Company’s claim to the $800,000,$0.8 million, the Chapter 7 trustee has also taken the position thatindicated he iswas investigating avoidance claims against the Company with respect to funds itthe Company received from the Debtors prior to the bankruptcy filings.

Preferred Dividend Suspension
On November 8, 2017, the Board voted to postpone the payment of the fourth quarter dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock. The Board will revisit the dividend payment in the first quarter 2018 meeting. The dividend suspension will allow the Company to pay outstanding vendors and fund ongoing legal expenses and settlement payments. The dividend suspension does not trigger a default under the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue regardless of whether declared by the Board. A “dividend default” is deemed to occur if we fail to pay the accrued cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for any four consecutive or non-consecutive quarterly periods. If we have committed a dividend default, then until we have paid all accrued dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for all dividend periods up to, and including, the dividend payment date on which the accumulated and unpaid dividends are paid in full: (i) the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock will be increased to 12.875% per annum, which we refer to as the “penalty rate,” commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment; and (ii) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have limited voting rights, namely to elect two additional directors, at a special meeting called upon the request of the holders of record of at least 25.00% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Once we have paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends in full and have paid cash dividends at the penalty rate in full for an additional two consecutive quarters (or declared such dividends provided that a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set aside for such payment), the dividend rate will be restored to the stated rate and the foregoing provisions will not be applicable, unless we again fail to pay any quarterly dividend for any future quarter, at which time the term of any directors elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall immediately terminate and the number of directors constituting our board of directors shall be reduced accordingly.

Regional Health, through its subsidiaries, is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living.  Our business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities to third-party tenants. As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company owned, leased, or managed for third parties 30 facilities primarily in the Southeast.

The operators of the Company’s facilities provide a range of health care and related services to patients and residents, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents.

Liquidity. Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, cash flows from operations (assuming that new tenants for the Ohio Beacon Facilities are in place by the end of the fourth quarter of 2018), and debt refinancing during the twelve months from the date of this filing. At September 30, 2018, the Company had $1.9 million in unrestricted cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of $1.3 million. On June 8, 2018, the Board indefinitely suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. Such dividends are currently in arrears for the fourth quarter 2017, and the first, second and third quarter 2018 dividend periods.


On September 6, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a the New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to the Specified Defaults under the Pinecone Credit Facility. The forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement is from September 6, 2018, the date on which certain conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement were satisfied, to December 31, 2018, unless the forbearance period is earlier terminated as a result of specified termination events, including a default or event of default under the Pinecone Loan Documents (other than any Specified Defaults) or any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to comply with the New Forbearance Agreement. Pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Loan Documents. Such amendments, among other things: (i) increase the finance fee payable on repayment or acceleration of the loans, depending on the time at which the loans are repaid; and (ii) increase the outstanding principal balance owed by (a) approximately $0.7 million to reimburse Pinecone for its accrued and unpaid expenses and to pay outstanding interest payments for prior interest periods and (b) $1.5 million as a non-refundable payment of additional interest. During the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, the interest rate will revert from the default rate of 18.5% per annum to the ongoing rate of 13.5% per annum.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults), or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone may: (i) declare the entire unpaid principal balance under the Pinecone Credit Facility, together with all accrued interest and other amounts payable to Pinecone thereunder, immediately due and payable; (ii) foreclose on the Collateral securing the Pinecone Credit Facility; and (iii) exercise all of the other rights and remedies available to it under the Pinecone Loan Documents and applicable law. For information regarding the Pinecone Credit Facility, see Note 9 – Notes Payable and Other Debt and Note 3 – Liquidity, to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with all of the requirements under the Pinecone Loan Documents, including the New Forbearance Agreement. Such compliance depends, in part, on the Company’s ability to work with outside parties, which is not within the Company’s exclusive control. If the Company is unable to comply with all the requirements under the Pinecone Loan Documents, including the New Forbearance Agreement, and Pinecone were to accelerate all obligations under the Pinecone Loan Documents or otherwise exercise its default-related rights or foreclose on the Collateral, then it would have a material adverse consequence on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

We are not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American because the Company’s securities have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time. We give no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable NYSE American continued listing standards. Our ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities and the terms upon which we are able to raise such capital may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain the listing of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock on the NYSE American. For further information, see Note 3 – Liquidity, to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report and risk factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of this Quarterly Report.

The Company plans to continue to undertake measures to refinance certain loans, including the Pinecone Credit Facility, and to streamline its cost infrastructure. There is no assurance however, that these efforts will be successful. Due to the inherent risks, unknown results, and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters along with the direct correlation between these matters and the Company’s ability to satisfy the financial obligations that may arise over the applicable one-year period, the Company is unable to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.

On June 27, 2018, the Company notified the Mountain Trace Tenant, if it continued to breach the payments terms under the lease agreement for the Company’s Mountain Trace Facility, that nonpayment would constitute an event of default. The Company is currently in negotiations with suitably qualified replacement operators to take possession of the Mountain Trace Facility on December 1, 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to execute a new lease with respect to the Mountain Trace Facility on substantially equivalent terms to the current lease agreement for such facility or at all or that, if a new lease is executed, the new tenant will be able to take possession of the Mountain Trace Facility on December 1, 2018. On September 20, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with Symmetry, regarding their assertion that the Company was in material breach of each of the lease agreements, with regard to deferred maintenance, under which all three of the Symmetry affiliated tenants lease from the Company. Pursuant to the aforementioned dispute, Symmetry was withholding rental payments. On June 27, 2018, the Company notified the Sumter Tenant, an affiliate of Symmetry, if it continued to breach the payment terms of the lease agreement under which it leases the Company’s Sumter Facility, that nonpayment would constitute an event of default, the Sumter Tenant has not paid approximately $0.3 million in rent owed for May through August 2018. In addition the Georgetown Tenant, which it leases the Company’s Georgetown Facility, has not paid rent for July and August 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain payment of all unpaid rents. On September 20, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with Symmetry, with respect to all three facilities, which granted approximately $0.6 million annualized Rent Concession and waived approximately $0.2 million in rent arrears, upon which Symmetry recommenced monthly rent payments of $0.1 million starting with the September 1, 2018 amounts due. See Note 7 – Leases to the Company's Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report.

On April 24, 2018, the Company received notice from the Ohio Beacon Affiliates, that they would no longer be operating the Ohio Beacon Facilities commencing July 1, 2018 (although they have continued to operate such facilities beyond such date and are now expected to cease operations of such facilities on November 30, 2018). Straight-line annual lease revenue included in the table above relating to the Ohio Beacon Facilities is approximately $3.3 million. The Company intends to enforce its rights under the applicable sublease agreements for the Ohio Beacon Facilities and pursue all remedies available to it under such sublease agreements and applicable law. The Company is currently in negotiations with suitably qualified replacement operators, who are undergoing the HUD approval process for such facilities, to take possession of the Ohio Beacon Facilities on December 1, 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to execute new leases with respect to the Ohio Beacon Facilities on substantially equivalent terms to the sublease agreements under which the Ohio Beacon Affiliates operate the properties or at all, or that, if new leases are executed, the new tenants will be able to take possession of the Ohio Beacon Facilities on December 1, 2018.

Liquidity Overview

Straight-line annual lease revenue included in the table above relating to the three Symmetry Tenants is approximately $2.2 million and does not reflect the annualized Rent Concession. On June 27, 2018, the Company notified the Mountain Trace Tenant if it continued to breach the payments terms under the lease agreement for the Mountain Trace Facility, that nonpayment would constitute an event of default. Straight-line annual lease revenue included in the table above relating to this facility is approximately $0.9 million. The Company is currently in negotiations with a suitably qualified replacement operator to take possession of the Mountain Trace Facility on December 1, 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to execute a new lease with respect to the Mountain Trace Facility on substantially equivalent terms to the current lease agreement or at all or that, if a new lease is executed, the new tenant will be able to take possession of the Mountain Trace Facility on December 1, 2018. On September 20, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with Symmetry regarding their assertion that the Company is in material breach of each of the lease agreements, with regard to deferred maintenance, under which all three of the Symmetry affiliated tenants lease from the Company. Pursuant to the aforementioned dispute, Symmetry was withholding rental payments. On June 27, 2018, the Company notified the Sumter Tenant, an affiliate of Symmetry if it continued to breach the payment terms of the lease agreement under which it leases the Company’s Sumter Facility, that nonpayment would constitute an event of default. In addition the Georgetown Tenant, which it leases the Company’s Georgetown Facility, has not paid rent for July and August 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully obtain payment of all unpaid rents. On September 20, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with Symmetry, with respect to all three facilities, which granted approximately $0.6 million annualized Rent Concession and waived approximately $0.2 million in rent arrears, upon which Symmetry recommenced monthly rent payments of $0.1 million starting with the September 1, 2018 amounts due. See Note 7 – Leases to the Company's Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report.

Straight-line annual lease revenue included in the table above relating to Omega Facilities is approximately $2.3 million.

During

Acquisitions

There were no acquisitions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company generated positive cash flow from operations and anticipates positive cash flow from operations for the remainder of the current year. At September 30, 2017, we had: (i) $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents; (ii) restricted cash of $3.5 million; and (iii) $73.8 million in indebtedness, of which the current portion is $8.3 million. This current portion is comprised of the following components: (i) convertible debt of $1.5 million, (ii) senior debt of $4.3 million attributable to the Company’s skilled nursing facility known as the Quail Creek Nursing & Rehabilitation Center located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the “Quail Creek Facility”), and (iii) remaining debt of approximately $2.5 million which includes senior debt - bond and mortgage indebtedness.


To conserve cash while working towards a settlement of our on-going professional and general liability claims, The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has voted to postpone the payment of the fourth quarter dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock. The Board will revisit the dividend payment in the first quarter of 2018. The dividend suspension will allow the Company to pay outstanding vendors and fund ongoing legal expenses and settlement payments. Furthermore, the dividend suspension does not trigger a default under the Company’s outstanding indebtedness.” Dividends will continue to accumulate regardless of whether declared.


Over the next twelve months, we anticipate access to several sources of liquidity, including cash flows from operations and cash on hand. In addition, we hold routine ongoing discussions with existing lenders and potential new lenders to refinance current debt on a longer term basis and, in recent years, have refinanced shorter term acquisition debt, with traditional longer term mortgage notes, many of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs. Over the next twelve months, we anticipate net principal disbursements of approximately $8.3 million, which includes $1.5 million of convertible debt, $4.3 million of senior debt attributable to the Quail Creek Facility, approximately $0.2 million of payments on shorter term vendor notes, $1.6 million of routine debt service amortization, and $0.7 million payment of other debt. Based on the described sources of liquidity, we expect sufficient funds for our operations and scheduled debt service, at least through the next twelve months.

On a longer term basis, at September 30, 2017, the Company has approximately $11.0 million of debt maturities due over the next two year period ending September 30, 2019. These debt maturities include the aforementioned $1.5 million of convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into shares of the common stock, in addition to $4.3 million with respect tothe Quail Creek Credit Facility. We believe our long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied by these same sources, as well as borrowings as required to refinance indebtedness.

In order to satisfy our capital needs, we seek to: (i) refinance debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms; (ii) raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities ; and (iii) increase operating cash flows through acquisitions. We anticipate that these actions, if successful, will provide the opportunity to maintain our liquidity, thereby permitting the Company to better meet its operating and financing obligations. However, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful. Our ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities and the terms upon which we are able to raise such capital may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain the listing of the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock on the NYSE American, formerly known as the NYSE MKT. In addition, the current dividend suspension prevents us from registering securities under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form S-3, which adversely impacts our ability to raise equity capital.

Divestitures

There were no divestitures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we review our judgments and estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to doubtful accounts, income taxes, stock compensation, intangible assets and loss contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, business knowledge and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates. These estimates are evaluated by management and revised as circumstances change.


For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company see Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.Report.

Facility Rent Expense—Facility rent expense was $6.5this filing. At September 30, 2018, the Company had $1.9 million forin unrestricted cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of $1.3 million and anticipates continued positive cash flow from operations in the future.

On June 8, 2018, the Board indefinitely suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. Such dividends are currently in arrears for the fourth quarter 2017, and $6.5the first, second and third quarter 2018 dividend periods. The Board plans to revisit the dividend payment policy with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock on an ongoing basis. The Board believes that the dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional funds to meet its ongoing liquidity needs.

On February 15, 2018, the Company entered into the Pinecone Credit Facility, with an aggregate principal amount of $16.25 million, which refinanced existing mortgage debt in an aggregate amount of $8.7 million with respect to the Facilities and provided additional surplus cash flow of $6.3 million. Regional Health is a guarantor of the Pinecone Credit Facility, and certain of the loans under the Pinecone Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Regional Health. The surplus cash flow from the Pinecone Credit Facility was used to deposit $2.4 million of cash into escrow to fund self-insurance reserves for professional and general liability claims with respect to 25 professional and general liability actions (included within current liabilities) and to fund repayment of $1.5 million in convertible debt.


On May 10, 2018, Pinecone notified the Company in the Default Letter that the Company was in default under certain financial covenants under the Pinecone Loan Documents. On May 18, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Original Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone, pursuant to which, Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Forbearance Agreement, to forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to the specified events of default specified during the forbearance period under the Original Forbearance Agreement.

The forbearance period under the Original Forbearance Agreement terminated on July 6, 2018 because the Company did not satisfy the conditions set forth in the Original Forbearance Agreement requiring the Company to enter into an agreement with Pinecone to support a transaction or series of transactions to remedy the defaults specified in the Original Forbearance Agreement. Accordingly, as of such date, Pinecone was no longer required to forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to the specified defaults and could exercise all of its rights and remedies under the Pinecone Credit Facility.

On July 18, 2018, the Company received another letter from Pinecone stating that, as a result of the termination of the forbearance period under the Original Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone could accelerate its outstanding loans under the Pinecone Credit Facility and the Company was obligated to pay interest on such loans at the default interest rate of 18.50% per annum.

On September 6, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a the New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies (including the acceleration of the outstanding loans and charging interest at the specified default rate) with respect to the Specified Defaults. The forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement is from September 6, 2018, the date on which certain conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement were satisfied, to December 31, 2018, unless the forbearance period is earlier terminated as a result of specified termination events, including a default or event of default under the Pinecone Loan Documents (other than any Specified Defaults) or any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to comply with the New Forbearance Agreement. Pursuant to the New Forbearance Agreement, the Company and Pinecone agreed to amend certain provisions of the Pinecone Loan Documents. Such amendments, among other things: (i) increase the finance fee payable on repayment or acceleration of the loans, depending on the time at which the loans are repaid; and (ii) increase the outstanding principal balance owed by (a) approximately $0.7 million to reimburse Pinecone for its accrued and unpaid expenses and to pay outstanding interest payments for prior interest periods and (b) $1.5 million fee described as a non-refundable payment of additional interest. During the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, the interest rate will revert from the default rate of 18.5% per annum to the ongoing rate of 13.5% per annum.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults) or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under the Pinecone Credit Facility, together with all accrued interest and other amounts payable to Pinecone thereunder, immediately due and payable and may foreclose on the Collateral securing the Pinecone Credit Facility. The Collateral includes, among other things, the Facilities and all assets of the borrowers owning the Facilities, the leases associated with the Facilities and all revenue generated by the Facilities, and rights under a promissory note in the amount of $5.2 million, issued by Regional Health pursuant to the Pinecone Credit Facility in favor of one of its subsidiaries, which subsidiary is a borrower and guarantor under the Pinecone Credit Facility.

In addition, the equity interests in the Pledged Subsidiaries have been pledged to Pinecone as part of the Collateral. The assets and operations of the Pledged Subsidiaries constitute substantially all of the Company’s assets and operations. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults) or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone may, in addition to its other rights and remedies, remove any or all of the managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries and appoint its own representatives as managers of such Pledged Subsidiaries. If Pinecone elects to appoint its own representatives as managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries, then such managers would control such subsidiaries and their assets and operations and could potentially restrict or prevent such subsidiaries from paying dividends or distributions to Regional Health. As a holding company with no significant operations, Regional Health relies primarily on dividends and distributions from the Pledged Subsidiaries to meet its obligations and pay dividends on its capital stock (when and as declared by the Board.)


Under the Pinecone Loan Documents, Pinecone’s rights and remedies upon an event of default are cumulative, and Pinecone may exercise (although it is not obligated to do so) all or any one or more of the rights and remedies available to it under the Pinecone Loan Documents or applicable law. The Company does not know which rights and remedies, if any, Pinecone may choose to exercise under the Pinecone Loan Documents or applicable law upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults) or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement. If Pinecone elects to appoint its own representatives as managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries, to accelerate the indebtedness under the Pinecone Credit Facility, or to foreclose on significant assets of the Company (such as the Facilities and/or the equity interests in the Pledged Subsidiaries), then it will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, and the Company’s ability to continue operations will be materially jeopardized.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the requirements in the Pinecone Loan Documents, including the New Forbearance Agreement. Such compliance depends, in part, on the Company’s ability to obtain the cooperation of outside parties, which is not within the Company’s control. If Pinecone were to exercise its rights and remedies under the Pinecone Credit Facility with respect to any event of default, then it could have a material adverse consequence on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2018, eight of the Company’s facilities were in arrears’ on their rent payments. The Company had issued default notices to the operators of five of such facilities located in Ohio and leased to the Ohio Beacon Affiliates. One such facility is located in North Carolina and two such facilities are located in South Carolina and leased to the Symmetry Tenants (for additional information with respect to such facilities, see Note 7 – Leases). Combined cash rental payments for all eight facilities total $0.4 million per month, or approximately 21% of our anticipated total monthly rental receipts. On September 20, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with the Symmetry Tenants, pursuant to which the Symmetry Tenants agreed to a payment plan and the Company agreed to the Rent Concession and waived approximately $0.2 million in rent that was in arrears, upon which the Symmetry Tenants recommenced monthly rent payments of $0.1 million starting with the September 1, 2018 amounts due. Management is currently in negotiations with the operators of the facilities located in Ohio to obtain payment of all unpaid rents and to implement plans to ensure the future payment of rent. Such plans may include replacing one or more of the current operators or negotiating a new agreement with one or more of the current operators to resume rent payments. If the Company agrees to additional or revised terms with any current operator, such terms may be less favorable to the Company than the terms provided in the current lease. Management believes that the Company will attain a resolution that allows for the sameresumption of rent at the remaining five facilities within a relatively short time frame. If the Company is unable to resume collection of rent with respect to the five facilities, it will hinder the Company’s ability to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

On August 28, 2018, the Company received the Letter from the NYSE American stating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide.  Specifically, the Letter informed the Company that the Exchange has determined that shares of the Company’s securities have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time and, pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, the Company’s continued listing is predicated on the Company effecting a reverse stock split of the common stock or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the Exchange determined to be no later than February 27, 2019. As a result of such noncompliance, the Company has become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide.

The Company intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in 2016. Rent expense year over yearthe Company Guide by undertaking a measure or measures that are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In connection with such efforts, the Company is comparablesubmitting for approval at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of shareholders a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the common stock at a ratio of between one for-six and one-for-twelve, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.  The common stock and Series A Preferred Stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while the Company seeks to regain compliance with the continued listing standard noted, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. If the Company fails to demonstrate a sustained price improvement or effect a reverse stock split of its common stock by February 27, 2019, then the Exchange may commence delisting procedures. The Company does not expect the Letter to affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and rules, however our ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities and the terms upon which we are able to raise such capital may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain the listing of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock on the NYSE American.


The Company plans to continue to undertake measures to refinance certain loans and to streamline its cost infrastructure. However, due to the completioninherent risks, unknown results, and significant uncertainties associated with each of these matters, along with the direct correlation between these matters and the Company’s ability to satisfy the financial obligations that may arise over the applicable one-year period, the Company is unable to conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the Company's transition to a healthcare property holding and leasing company. date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.

Depreciation and Amortization—Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.7 million, or 16.2%, to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $4.2 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of the Arkansas Facilities on October 6, 2016, that were classified as held for sale beginning May 2016, with the subsequent cessation of depreciation expense partially off-set by depreciation on the Meadowood Facility acquired on May 1, 2017 and leasehold improvements on the Peach Facilities.
General and Administrative—General and administrative costs decreased by $2.8 million, or 44.1%, to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $6.3 million for the same period in 2016. The net decrease is due to a continued reduction in overhead and specifically the following: (i) a decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits expense of approximately $1.0 million, (ii) a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million and (iii) a decrease in legal, contract services, IT, insurance and other expenses of approximately $1.2 million.
Other Operating Expenses—Other operating expense decreased by $0.02 million, or 1.3%, to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $1.4 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is primarily due to (i) $0.8 million non-recurring prior year property and bed tax expenses, (ii) the release of $0.2 million workers compensation accrual in

the prior year, off set by, (iii) an accrual for an potential indemnity obligation of the Company of approximately $0.2 million and (iv) an approximately $0.3 million investigation expense related to an internal investigation with respect to the circumstances surrounding the inaccurate representation of the educational credentials of William McBride, III, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, in the current year period, and (v) an accrual of $0.3 million settlement with Mr. McBride.
Interest Expense, Net—Interest expense, decreased by $2.3 million or 43.3% to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $5.4 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is mainly due to the repayment of $36.0 million of debt, and hence cessation of interest, in connection with the Arkansas Facilities and the sale thereof in October 2016 and $6.7 million principal repayment of the 2015 Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer on January 10, 2017 and the remaining $1.0 million on April 30, 2017, partially offset by $4.1 million in new financing for the Meadowood Facility.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment—Loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was due to a pre payment penalty incurred on March 20, 2017, when mortgage indebtedness related to the Coosa Valley Facility, and Attalla Health Care, a 182-bed skilled nursing facility located in Attalla, Alabama (“the Attalla Facility”), was reduced by $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively through the application of restricted cash held as collateral against such indebtedness.
Loss from Discontinued Operations—The loss from discontinued operations decreased by $4.5 million or (68.5)% to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $6.5 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is primarily due to lower bad debt expense. Current period expenses comprise an $0.8 million accrual for a professional and general legal settlement, the remaining $1.2 million is related to legal expenses, collection activities and bad debt.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.


Our management, with the participation of our Interiminterim Chief Executive Officer and Interiminterim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”).

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.


The Company is a defendant in various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to patients. Although the Company settles cases from time to time when settlement can be achieved on a reasonable basis, the Company vigorously defends any matter in which it believes the claims lack merit and the Company has a reasonable chance to prevail at trial or in arbitration. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and there is risk in the Company's strategy of aggressively defending these cases. There is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Although arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business, certain of these matters are described below under "Professional and General Liability Claims."

Except as set forth in this Item 1., Legal Proceedings, there have been no new material legal proceedings and no material developments in the legal proceedings reported in Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Annual Report, as supplemented by the disclosure in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, in each of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2018.

Of the 14 not subject to settlement in principle: (i) two of such actions are covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage. Thecoverage; and (ii) five of such actions relate to events which occurred after the Company transitioned the operations of the facilities in question to a third-party operator and which are subject to such operators’ indemnification obligations in favor of the Company.

The Company gives no assurance that the probate court will approve the settlement of the remaining seven Arkansas actions pending approval or that the other conditions to such settlements will be satisfied, or that such actions will be settled on the terms described herein or at all.

The Pavilion Care Center, LLC, Hearth & Home of Greenfield, LLC (each a subsidiaryCompany believes that most of the Company),professional and certain other parties (including parties for which the Company provides or provided management services). The lawsuit alleges that defendants submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and further alleges that defendants (i) engaged in deception, (ii) willfully received Medicaid payments to which they were not entitled or in a greater amount than that to which they were entitled, and (iii) obtained payments under the Medicaid program to which they were not entitled pursuant to their provider agreements and applicable Medicaid rules and regulations.

The Company filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2017 in which it denied the allegations. An order granting a motion to stay this proceeding was granted in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio on July 12, 2017. Although there is no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact on the Company’s business or its financial condition, the Company believes it has meritorious defensesgeneral liability actions are defensible and intends to vigorously defend them through final judgement unless settlement is more advantageous to the claim.

Risk Factors.


If we lose our key management personnel, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We are dependent on our management team, and our future success depends largely upon the management experience, skill, and contacts of our management and the loss of any of our key management team could harm our business.

Recently, the Company has experienced the departure of certain key management personnel.  As a result, the Company must now focus time and resources on recruiting new members for its executive management team. Changes in the Company’s executive management team may be disruptive to, or cause uncertainty in, the Company’s business, and any additional changes to the executive management team could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to manage and grow its business effectively.  Any such disruption or uncertainty or difficulty in efficiently and effectively filling key roles could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

For a detailed description of certain risk factors that could affect our business, operations and financial condition, see Part I, “ItemItem 1A., Risk Factors” ofFactors, included in the Annual Report.Report, as supplemented and modified by the risk factors set forth below in this Item 1A. The risk factors described in the Annual Report (“Riskand this Quarterly Report (collectively, the “Risk Factors”) do not describe all risks applicable to our business, and we intend it only as a summary of certain material factors. The Risk Factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report because the Risk Factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock could continuedecline.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to decline. 

comply with, or otherwise modify, the requirements in the Pinecone Loan Documents, including the New Forbearance Agreement.  If Pinecone elects to exercise its rights and remedies under the Pinecone Loan Documents with respect to any event of default, then it will have a material adverse effect on us.

On September 6, 2018, the Company entered into the New Forbearance Agreement with Pinecone pursuant to which Pinecone agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Forbearance Agreement, to forbear for a specified period of time from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults. The forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement expires December 31, 2018, unless the forbearance period is earlier terminated as a result of specified termination events, including a default or event of default under the Pinecone Loan Documents (other than any Specified Defaults) or any failure by the Company or its subsidiaries to comply with the New Forbearance Agreement. As of such date, Pinecone will no longer be required to forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults and may exercise all of its rights and remedies with respect to the Pinecone Loan Documents at that time.


Upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults), or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement, Pinecone may, among other things and subject to the terms of the Pinecone Loan Documents: (i) declare the entire unpaid principal balance under thePinecone Credit Facility, together with all accrued interest and other amounts payable to Pinecone thereunder, immediately due and payable; (ii)  foreclose on the Collateral; and (iii) remove any or all of the managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries and appoint its own representatives as managers of such Pledged Subsidiaries.

The assets and operations of the Pledged Subsidiaries constitute substantially all of the Company’s assets and operations. If Pinecone elects to appoint its own representatives as managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries, then such managers would control such subsidiaries and their assets and operations and could potentially restrict or prevent such subsidiaries from paying dividends or distributions to Regional Health. As a holding company with no significant operations, Regional Health relies primarily on dividends and distributions from the Pledged Subsidiaries to meet its obligations and pay dividends on its capital stock (when and as declared by the Board.)

The Pinecone Loan Documents provide that Pinecone’s rights and remedies upon an event of default are cumulative, and that Pinecone may exercise (although it is not obligated to do so) all or any one or more of the rights and remedies available to it under the Pinecone Loan Documents or applicable law. The Company does not know which rights and remedies, if any, Pinecone may choose to exercise under the Pinecone Loan Documents upon the occurrence of an event of default (other than the Specified Defaults) or the expiration or termination of the forbearance period under the New Forbearance Agreement. If Pinecone elects to appoint its own representatives as managers of the Pledged Subsidiaries, to accelerate the indebtedness under the Pinecone Credit Facility, or to foreclose on significant assets of the Company (such as the Facilities and/or the equity interests in the Pledged Subsidiaries), then it will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, and the Company’s ability to continue operations will be materially jeopardized.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the requirements in the Pinecone Loan Documents, including the New Forbearance Agreement, or otherwise modify the requirements thereof. Such compliance depends, in part, on the Company’s ability to obtain the cooperation of outside parties, which is not within the Company’s control. If Pinecone were to exercise its default-related rights and remedies under the Pinecone Credit Facility, then it will have a material adverse consequence on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations arising within the next twelve months.

If we fail to meet all applicable continued listing requirements of the NYSE American and the NYSE American determines to delist the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, then the delisting could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of such securities, adversely affect our ability to raise needed funds and subject us to additional trading restrictions and regulations.

On August 28, 2018, the Company received a letter from NYSE American stating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide because the shares of the Company’s securities have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time and that the Company’s continued listing is predicated on the Company effecting a reverse stock split of the common stock or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement no later than February 27, 2019. Additionally, if at any time the common stock trades below an abnormally low level per share, then the Company’s securities will be automatically delisted from the NYSE American.

The Company is submitting for approval at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of shareholders a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the common stock at a ratio of between one-for-six and one-for-twelve, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. If such proposal is approved by the shareholders, then the reverse split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board that the reverse split is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board’s determination as to whether to effect the reverse split and, if so, pursuant to which exchange ratio, will be based upon those market and business factors deemed relevant by the Board at the time, including: (i) the continued listing standards of the NYSE American; (ii) existing and expected marketability and liquidity of the common stock; (iii) prevailing stock market conditions; (iv) the historical trading price and trading volume of the common stock; (v) the thenprevailing trading price and trading volume of the common stock and the anticipated impact of the reverse split on the trading market for the common stock; (vi) the anticipated impact of the reverse split on the Company’s ability to raise additional financing; (vii) business developments affecting the Company; (viii) the Company’s actual or forecasted results of operations; and (ix) the likely effect on the market price of the common stock.

There is no assurance that the shareholders will approve the proposal with respect to the reverse split, or, if so approved, that the Board will determine that that the reverse split is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders and implement the reverse split. If the Board determines to implement the reverse split, there is no assurance that: (i) the reverse split will result in


the common stock trading above $0.20 per share for any significant period of time (which is the trading price below which the NYSE American generally would consider the common stock to be a low-priced stock); (ii) the trading value per share of the common stock after the reverse split will reflect the exchange ratio implemented by the Board; or (iii) the trading value per share following the reverse split would be maintained for any period of time following the reverse split. Following any reverse split, our securities may still run the risk of being considered a lowpriced stock under the listing standards of the NYSE American, which could cause the our securities to be delisted from the NYSE American.

We give no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards. If the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are delisted from the NYSE American, then such securities may trade in the over-the-counter market. If our securities were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and any security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are delisted, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in such securities, further limiting the liquidity of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our securities. Such delisting from the NYSE American and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing and could significantly increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other transactions. Any such limitations on our ability to raise debt and equity capital could prevent us from making future investments and satisfying maturing debt commitments.

We depend on affiliates of C.R. Management and Beacon for a significant portion of our revenues and any inability or unwillingness by such entities to satisfy their obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on us. Specifically, if we are unable to collect unpaid rents owed by the Ohio Beacon Affiliates, then it could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our 27 properties (excluding the three facilities that are managed by us) are operated by a total of 27 separate tenants, with each of our tenants being affiliated with one of six local or regionally focused operators. We refer to our tenants who are affiliated with the same operator as a group of affiliated tenants. Each of our operators operate (through a group of affiliated tenants) between two and eight of our facilities, with our most significant operators, C.R. Management and Beacon, each operating (through a group of affiliated tenants) eight and seven facilities, respectively, as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report. We, therefore, depend, on tenants who are affiliated with C.R. Management and Beacon for a significant portion of our revenues.

On April 24, 2018, the Company was notified by the Ohio Beacon Affiliates that they can no longer operate the five Ohio Beacon Facilities located in Ohio and that they would surrender operation of such facilities to the Company on June 30, 2018. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report, the Ohio Beacon Affiliates have not surrendered possession of the Ohio Beacon Facilities and are nine months in arrears on rental payments and owe us approximately $2.3 million in rent arrears and $0.5 million with respect to the Beacon Lease Inducement. The Ohio Beacon Affiliates are expected to surrender the respective properties facilities on November 30, 2018. See Note 7 – Leases, to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report.

Although we are currently in negotiations with suitably qualified replacement operators to take possession of the Ohio Beacon Facilities on December 1, 2018, subject to HUD approval, there is no assurance that we will be able to execute new leases with respect to such facilities on substantially equivalent terms to the sublease agreements for such facilities which we entered into with the Ohio Beacon Affiliates or at all or that, if new leases are executed, the new tenants will be able to take possession of such facilities on December 1, 2018.


We intend to enforce our rights under the sublease agreements for the applicable facilities which we entered into with the Ohio Beacon Affiliates and to pursue all remedies available to us under such sublease agreements and applicable law. However, there is no assurance that the Company will obtain from the Ohio Beacon Affiliates the unpaid rent amounts or amounts with respect to the Beacon Lease Inducement. If we are unable to collect unpaid rents owed by the Ohio Beacon Affiliates, then it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot assure you that the tenants affiliated with C.R. Management and Beacon will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to make rental payments to us or to otherwise satisfy their obligations under the applicable leases and subleases, and any inability or unwillingness by such tenants to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to collect unpaid rents owed by the Symmetry Tenants, then it could have an adverse effect on us.

The Symmetry Tenants lease from us the Mountain Trace Facility, the Sumter Facility and the Georgetown Facility. On September 20, 2018, the Company resolved its dispute with the Symmetry Tenants regarding their assertion that the Company was in material breach of each of the lease agreements, for these facilities with regard to deferred maintenance, under which all three of the Symmetry affiliated tenants lease from the Company. Pursuant to the aforementioned dispute, Symmetry was asserting the Company has not carried out agreed maintenance projects in the aggregate value of approximately $0.7 million. As a result of this dispute, the Symmetry Tenants withheld rental payments. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report, the affiliates of Symmetry Tenants have approximately $0.5 million in outstanding rental payments. Combined cash rental payments for the three facilitates leased to the Symmetry Affiliates under the applicable leases, before the Rent Concession, totaled approximately $0.2 million per month, or approximately 8.7% of our anticipated total monthly rental receipts. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain payment of all unpaid rents per the negotiated agreement. The Company agreed to grant rent concessions of approximately $0.6 million per year with respect to these facilities, effective September 1, 2018, upon which the Symmetry Tenants recommenced rental payments. See Note 7 – Leases, to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report.

Item 3.

Defaults upon Senior Securities.

The Board suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock for the fourth quarter 2017 and the first, second and third quarter 2018 dividend periods. No dividends were declared or paid with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock for such dividend periods.  On June 8, 2018, the Board determined to continue suspension of the payment of the quarterly dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock indefinitely. As a result of such suspension, the Company has $7.6 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report. See Note 11– Common and Preferred Stock – “Preferred Stock Offerings and Dividends”, to the Company’s Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities.

McBride Matters

Item 6.

Exhibits.

On September 26, 2017, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”), with Mr. McBride, our former Chief Executive officer and director, pursuant to which, among other things, and in lieu of any other rights or obligations under Mr. McBride’s employment agreement: (i) the Company agreed to pay Mr. McBride $60,000 in cash for wage claims; (ii) the Company issued to Mr. McBride an Unsecured Negotiable Promissory Note with an original principal amount of $300,000 (the “McBride Note”); (iii) Mr. McBride released the Company from all claims and liabilities, including those arising out of his employment, and his employment agreement, with the Company and his separation therefrom (but excluding claims to enforce the provisions of the Settlement Agreement, the McBride Note and the indemnification provisions under his employment agreement); (iv) the Company released Mr. McBride from all claims and liabilities arising out of his employment, and his employment agreement, with the Company and his separation therefrom (excluding (a) claims for intentional tortious conduct, fraud or arising out criminal misconduct other than in connection with such separation (provided such claims were not known to, or reasonably discoverable by the Company), and (b) claims to enforce the provisions of the Settlement Agreement and the restrictive covenants under the employment agreement); and (v) from after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, the termination of Mr. McBride’s employment shall be deemed a resignation by Mr. McBride.
The McBride Note accrues interest at an annual rate of 4% and principal and interest is payable in 24 equal monthly installments of $13,027.42, which paymentscommenced on October 31, 2017 and shall end on September 30, 2019. Upon the existence and continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the McBride Note), interest accrues at a default rate of eighteen percent 18% per annum.
Maturity date extension on convertible debt
On November 8, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to Subordinated Convertible Note, with Cantone Asset Management LLC (“CAM”), which amended, effective October 31, 2017, the $1.5 million convertible promissory note originally issued by the Company to CAM in July 2012, as subsequently amended, to: (i) extend the maturity date from October 31, 2017 to April 30, 2018; (ii) increase the annual interest rate from 10.00% to 14.00%; and (iii) increase the default annual interest rate from 14.00% to 18.00%. In addition, the Company agreed to grant to CAM a second priority security interest in the Company’s College Park facility no later than December, 22, 2017. Failure to grant the security interest by December 22, 2017, will constitute an event of default under the promissory note.

The promissory note was issued, and subsequently amended, without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the private placement exemption set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, based upon CAM’s status as an accredited investor, representations made by CAM, the isolated nature of the transaction and that the transaction did not involve a public offering. The promissory note may be converted to 352,941 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $4.25 at the option of the holder.
