NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Ventas, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or except where the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us” or “our”), an S&P 500 company, is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with a highly diversified portfolio of seniors housing and healthcare properties throughout the United States and Canada. As of June 30, 2013, we owned more than 1,400 properties, including seniors housing communities, skilled nursing and other facilities, medical office buildings (“MOBs”), and hospitals, in 46 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces, and we had four new projects under development. Our company is currently headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

We primarily acquire and own seniors housing and healthcare properties and lease them to unaffiliated tenants or operate them through independent third-party managers. As of June 30, 2013, we leased a total of 889 properties (excluding MOBs and properties classified as held for sale) to various healthcare operating companies under “triple-net” or “absolute-net” leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures, with Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Brookdale Senior Living”) and Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Kindred”) accounting for 148 properties (excluding six properties included in investments in unconsolidated entities) and 143 properties, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, we also engaged independent operators, such as Atria Senior Living, Inc. (“Atria”) and Sunrise Senior Living, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Sunrise”), to manage a total of 229 of our seniors housing communities pursuant to long-term management agreements.

Through our Lillibridge Healthcare Services, Inc. (“Lillibridge”) subsidiary and our ownership interest in PMB Real Estate Services LLC (“PMBRES”), we also provide MOB management, leasing, marketing, facility development and advisory services to highly rated hospitals and health systems throughout the United States. In addition, from time to time, we make secured and unsecured loans and other investments relating to seniors housing and healthcare operators or properties.

NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation 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 statement of results for the interim period have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2013. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries and the joint venture entities over which we exercise control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and our net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

GAAP requires us to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. We consolidate our investment in a VIE when we are determined to be its primary beneficiary. We may change our original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as modifications of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.

We identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. We perform this analysis on an ongoing basis. At June 30, 2013, we consolidated all VIEs for which we qualify as the primary beneficiary.

As it relates to investments in joint ventures, GAAP may preclude consolidation by the sole general partner in certain circumstances based on the type of rights held by the limited partner(s). We assess limited partners’ rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner when an investor becomes the sole general partner, and we reassess if there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners, the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests, or there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. We also apply this guidance to managing member interests in limited liability companies.

Redeemable OP Unitholder and Noncontrolling Interests

Through our acquisition of Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. (“NHP”) in July 2011, we own a majority interest in NHP/PMB L.P. (“NHP/PMB”), a limited partnership formed in 2008 to acquire properties from entities affiliated with Pacific Medical Buildings LLC. We consolidate NHP/PMB, as our wholly owned subsidiary is the general partner and exercises control of the partnership. As of June 30, 2013, third party investors owned 2,252,590 Class A limited partnership units in NHP/PMB (“OP Units”), which represented 27.0% of the total units then outstanding, and we owned 6,104,969 Class B limited partnership units in NHP/PMB, representing the remaining 73.0%. At any time following the first anniversary of their issuance date, the OP Units may be redeemed at the election of the holder for cash or, at our option, 0.7866 shares of our common stock per unit, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. We are party by assumption to a registration rights agreement with the holders of the OP Units that requires us, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to file and maintain a registration statement relating to the issuance of shares of our common stock upon redemption of OP Units.

Because redemption rights are beyond our control, we classify the redeemable OP unitholder interests outside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We reflect the redeemable OP unitholder interests at the greater of cost or fair value. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the redeemable OP unitholder interests was $123.1 million and $114.9 million, respectively. We recognize changes in fair value through capital in excess of par value, net of cash distributions paid and purchases by us of any OP Units. Our diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) includes the effect of any potential shares outstanding from redemption of the OP Units.

Subsequent to June 30, 2013, 59,144 OP units and 32,197 Class B limited partnership units in NHP/PMB were issued in connection with the contribution of an MOB to NHP/PMB.

Certain noncontrolling interests of other consolidated joint ventures were also classified as redeemable at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Accordingly, we record the carrying amount of these noncontrolling interests at the greater of (i) their initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and distributions, or (ii) the redemption value. With respect to these joint ventures, because our joint venture partner has certain redemption rights that are beyond our control, we classify the redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize changes in carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests through capital in excess of par value.

Noncontrolling Interests

Other than redeemable noncontrolling interests described above, we present the portion of any equity that we do not own in entities that we control (and thus consolidate) as noncontrolling interests and classify those interests as a component of consolidated equity, separate from total Ventas stockholders’ equity, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. For earnings of consolidated joint ventures with pro rata distribution allocations, net income or loss is allocated between the partners in the joint venture based on their respective stated ownership percentages. In other instances, net income or loss is allocated between the partners in the joint venture based on the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (the “HLBV method”). We account for purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change of control as equity transactions, through capital in excess of par value.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and we determine fair value based on the assumptions that we expect market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that

are classified within levels one and two of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within level three of the hierarchy).

Level one inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. Level two inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in level one that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level two inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as other inputs for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level three inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on our own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. If the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the entire fair value measurement falls is the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. If the volume and level of market activity for an asset or liability has decreased significantly relative to the normal market activity for such asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities), then transactions or quoted prices may not accurately reflect fair value. In addition, if there is evidence that a transaction for an asset or liability is not orderly, little, if any, weight is placed on that transaction price as an indicator of fair value. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

We use the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments.


•	Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

•

Loans receivable - We estimate the fair value of loans receivable using level two and level three inputs: we discount future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same maturities and same terms would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Additionally, we determine the valuation allowance for losses, if any, on loans receivable using level three inputs.

•

Marketable debt securities - Whenever possible, we estimate the fair value of marketable debt securities using level two inputs: we observe quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. In other cases, we estimate the fair value of marketable debt securities using level three inputs: we consider credit spreads, underlying asset performance and quality, default rates and any other applicable criteria.

•

Derivative instruments - With the assistance of a third party, we estimate the fair value of derivative instruments, including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts, using level two inputs: for interest rate caps, we observe forward yield curves and other relevant information; for interest rate swaps, we observe alternative financing rates derived from market-based financing rates, forward yield curves and discount rates; and for foreign currency forward contracts, we estimate the future values of the two currency tranches using forward exchange rates that are based on traded forward points and calculate a present value of the net amount using a discount factor based on observable traded interest rates.


•	Senior notes payable and other debt - We estimate the fair value of senior notes payable and other debt using level two inputs: we discount the future cash flows using current interest rates at which we could obtain similar borrowings.


•	Redeemable OP unitholder interests - We estimate the fair value of the OP Units using level two inputs: we base fair value on the closing price of our common stock, as units may be redeemed at the election of the holder for cash or, at our option, 0.7866 shares of our common stock per unit, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Revenue Recognition

Triple-Net Leased Properties and MOB Operations

Certain of our triple-net leases, including a majority of the leases we acquired in connection with the NHP acquisition, and most of our MOB leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in base rent. We recognize base rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectability is reasonably assured. 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 assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this cumulative excess (net of allowances) totaled $134.7 million and $120.3 million, respectively.

Four of our five master lease agreements with Kindred (the “Kindred Master Leases”) and certain of our other leases provide for periodic increases in base rent only if certain revenue parameters or other substantive contingencies are met. We recognize the increased rental revenue under these leases as the related parameters or contingencies are met, rather than on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term.

Senior Living Operations

We recognize resident fees and services, other than move-in fees, monthly as services are provided. We recognize move-in fees on a straight-line basis over the average resident stay. Our lease agreements with residents generally have a term of 12 months to 18 months and are cancelable by the resident upon 30 days’ notice.

Other

We recognize interest income from loans and investments, including discounts and premiums, using the effective interest method when collectibility is reasonably assured. We apply the effective interest method on a loan-by-loan basis and recognize discounts and premiums as yield adjustments over the related loan term. We recognize interest income on an impaired loan to the extent our estimate of the fair value of the collateral is sufficient to support the balance of the loan, other receivables and all related accrued interest. When the balance of the loan, other receivables and all related accrued interest is equal to our estimate of the fair value of the collateral, we recognize interest income on a cash basis. We provide a reserve against an impaired loan to the extent our total investment in the loan exceeds our estimate of the fair value of the loan collateral.

We recognize income from rent, lease termination fees, development services, management advisory services, and all other income when all of the following criteria are met in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104: (i) the applicable agreement has been fully executed and delivered; (ii) services have been rendered; (iii) the amount is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Allowances

We assess the collectibility of our rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables, and we defer recognition of revenue if collectibility is not reasonably assured. We base our assessment of the collectibility of rent receivables (other than straight-line rent receivables) on several factors, including, among other things, payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, if any, and current economic conditions. If our evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that we will be unable to recover the full value of the receivable, we provide a reserve against the portion of the receivable that we estimate may not be recovered. We base our assessment of the collectibility of straight-line rent receivables on several factors, including, among other things, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the historical operations and operating trends of the property, the historical payment pattern of the tenant, and the type of property. If our evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that we will be unable to receive the rent payments due in the future, we defer recognition of the straight-line rental revenue and, in certain circumstances, provide a reserve against the previously recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for the portion, up to its full value, that we estimate may not be recovered. If we change our assumptions or estimates regarding the collectibility of future rent payments required by a lease, we may adjust our reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue recognized and/or to increase or reduce the reserve against the previously recognized straight-line rent receivable asset.

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards

In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”), which requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income within the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about the reclassified amounts. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013, and the adoption of this update did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 3—CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

As of June 30, 2013, Atria, Sunrise, Brookdale Senior Living and Kindred managed or operated approximately 19.0%, 14.6%, 10.3% and 3.5%, respectively, of our real estate investments based on their gross book value (excluding properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2013). Seniors housing communities constituted approximately 62.0% of our real estate portfolio based on gross book value as of June 30, 2013, and skilled nursing and other facilities, MOBs and hospitals collectively comprised the remaining 38.0% (excluding properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2013). Our properties were located in 46 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces as of June 30, 2013, with properties in two states (California and New York) accounting for more than 10% of our total revenues and properties in one state (California) accounting for more than 10% of our total net operating income (“NOI,” which is defined as total revenues, excluding interest and other income, less property-level operating expenses and medical office building services costs) (in each case excluding amounts in discontinued operations) for the three months then ended.

Triple-Net Leased Properties

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately 8.2% and 10.5%, respectively, of our total revenues and 13.6% and 17.3%, respectively, of our total NOI (in each case excluding amounts in discontinued operations) were derived from our lease agreements with Kindred. For the same periods, approximately 5.7% and 6.4%, respectively, of our total revenues and 9.5% and 10.6%, respectively, of our total NOI (in each case excluding amounts in discontinued operations) were derived from our lease agreements with Brookdale Senior Living. Each of the Kindred Master Leases and our leases with Brookdale Senior Living is a triple-net lease that obligates the tenant to pay all property-related expenses, including maintenance, utilities, repairs, taxes, insurance and capital expenditures, and to comply with the terms of the mortgage financing documents, if any, affecting the properties. In addition, each of these leases has guaranty and cross-default provisions tied to other leases with the same tenant, as well as bundled lease renewals.

The properties we lease to Kindred and Brookdale Senior Living account for a meaningful portion of our total revenues and NOI and, therefore, our financial condition and results of operations could be weakened and our ability to service our indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders could be limited if either Kindred or Brookdale Senior Living becomes unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligations to us or to renew its leases with us upon expiration of the terms thereof. We cannot assure you that either Kindred or Brookdale Senior Living will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable it to satisfy its respective obligations to us, and any inability or unwillingness by Kindred or Brookdale Senior Living to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, as required for us to continue to qualify as a REIT (a “Material Adverse Effect”). We also cannot assure you that either Kindred or Brookdale Senior Living will elect to renew its respective leases with us upon expiration of their terms or that we will be able to reposition any properties that are not renewed on a timely basis or on the same or better economic terms, if at all.

Senior Living Operations

As of June 30, 2013, Atria and Sunrise, collectively, provided comprehensive property management and accounting services with respect to 227 of our seniors housing communities, for which we pay annual management fees pursuant to long-term management agreements.

As managers, Atria and Sunrise do not lease our properties, and, therefore, we are not directly exposed to their credit risk in the same manner or to the same extent as our triple-net tenants. However, we rely on our managers’ personnel, expertise, technical resources and information systems, proprietary information, good faith and judgment to manage our seniors housing communities efficiently and effectively. We also rely on our managers to set resident fees and otherwise operate those properties in compliance with the terms of our management agreements. Although we have various rights as the property owner under our management agreements, including various rights to terminate and exercise remedies under the agreements as provided therein, Atria’s or Sunrise’s inability or unwillingness to satisfy its obligations under those agreements, to efficiently and effectively manage our properties or to provide timely and accurate accounting information with respect thereto could have a Material Adverse Effect on us. In addition, significant changes in Atria’s or Sunrise’s senior management or any adverse developments in their businesses and affairs or financial condition could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

Our 34% ownership interest in Atria entitles us to certain rights and minority protections regarding material transactions affecting Atria, as well as the right to appoint two directors to the Atria Board of Directors.

MOB Operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we acquired the controlling interests in two MOBs, which we previously accounted for as an equity method investment, for approximately $57.1 million (see “Note 6—Investments in Unconsolidated Entities”). Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold two MOBs for aggregate consideration of $1.8 million and recognized a net gain on the sales of these assets of $0.5 million.

2012 Activity

Triple-Net Leased Properties

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we acquired seven seniors housing communities for approximately $98.1 million. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2012, we sold 22 seniors housing communities (including ten properties pursuant to the exercise of tenant purchase options) and one skilled nursing facility for aggregate consideration of $244.0 million, including fees of $4.8 million, and recognized a net gain on the sales of these assets of $83.8 million. We deposited a majority of the proceeds from the sale of 21 seniors housing communities in an Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Section 1031 exchange escrow account with a qualified intermediary, and we used approximately $134.5 million of these proceeds for certain of our seniors housing communities and MOB acquisitions during 2012. As of December 31, 2012, no proceeds remained in the Section 1031 exchange escrow account related to these sales.

Senior Living Operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we acquired 17 seniors housing communities for approximately $390.0 million. In June 2012, we declined to exercise our renewal option with respect to the operating leases (in which we were the lessee) for two seniors housing communities we acquired as part of our 2011 acquisition of the real estate assets of Atria Senior Living Group, Inc., which leases expired on June 30, 2012.

MOB Operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we acquired 72 MOBs and other real estate assets, including certain assets owned through joint ventures, for approximately $790 million, primarily through our acquisition of Cogdell Spencer Inc. in April 2012.

Discontinued Operations

We present separately, as discontinued operations in all periods presented, the results of operations for all assets classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2013, and all assets disposed of and all operating leases (under which we were the lessee) not renewed during the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Set forth below is a summary of our results of operations for properties within discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. As of June 30, 2013, we classified 13 properties as assets held for sale, included within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized impairments of $23.9 million, representing our estimated aggregate loss on the expected sales of these assets. These charges are primarily recorded as a component of depreciation and amortization in the table below.

NOTE 5—LOANS RECEIVABLE AND INVESTMENTS

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $514.5 million and $697.1 million, respectively, of net loans receivable and investments relating to seniors housing and healthcare operators or properties.

In December 2012, we made a secured loan in the aggregate principal amount of $375.0 million, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum and maturing in 2017, and in March 2013, we sold a pari passu portion of the loan receivable to a third party, at par. In July 2013, we sold a senior secured portion of our interest in the loan to an institutional holder, at par, for $66.4 million, which will accrue interest at a fixed rate of 4.5%. Our remaining interest in the loan totals $183 million principal amount and bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.4%.

Also in December 2012, we made a secured loan in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 12.0% per annum and maturing in 2017, and in May 2013, we sold a $25.0 million pari passu portion of the loan receivable to a third party, at par.

Under the terms of each loan agreement, we act as the administrative agent for the loan and will continue to receive the stated interest rate on our remaining loan receivable balance. No gain or loss was recognized from these transactions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we received aggregate proceeds of $68.4 million in final repayment of four secured loans receivable and one unsecured loan receivable.

In May 2013, we acquired an interest in a government-sponsored pooled loan investment that matures in 2023 for $21.0 million. The investment is a marketable debt security classified as available-for-sale and included within secured loans receivable and investments, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2013, the investment had an amortized cost basis and fair value of $21.1 million.

NOTE 6—INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

We report investments in unconsolidated entities over whose operating and financial policies we have the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. We are not required to consolidate these entities because our joint venture partners have significant participating rights, nor are these entities considered VIEs, as they are controlled by equity holders with sufficient capital. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we owned interests (ranging from 5% to 25%) in 53 properties and 55 properties, respectively, that were accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and we owned a 34% interest in Atria.

With the exception of our interest in Atria, we serve as the managing member of each unconsolidated entity and provide various services in exchange for fees and reimbursements. Total management fees earned in connection with these entities were $1.1 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2.6 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In March 2013, we acquired the 95% controlling interests owned by our joint venture partner in two MOBs for aggregate consideration of approximately $55.2 million. Prior to this acquisition, our equity method investment in these joint ventures was approximately $0.2 million. In connection with our acquisition of the controlling interests, we determined the fair value of our previously held equity interest at the acquisition date to be approximately $1.5 million and thus recognized a net gain of $1.3 million, which is included in income from unconsolidated entities in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Operations relating to these properties are now consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

We have $2.0 billion of aggregate borrowing capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which may be increased to up to $2.5 billion at our option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, and includes sublimits of (a) up to $200 million for letters of credit, (b) up to $200 million for swingline loans, (c) up to $250 million for loans in certain alternative currencies, and (d) up to 50% of the facility for certain negotiated rate loans.

We also pay a facility fee ranging from 15 basis points to 45 basis points per annum (based on our senior unsecured long-term debt ratings) on the aggregate revolving commitments under our unsecured revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2013, the applicable spread was 110 basis points for Eurocurrency rate loans and 10 basis points for base rate loans and the facility fee was 17.5 basis points. Borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility mature on October 16, 2015, but may be extended for an additional period of one year at our option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

As of June 30, 2013, we had $259.6 million of borrowings outstanding, $14.9 million of letters of credit outstanding and $1.73 billion of unused borrowing capacity available under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Senior Notes

In February 2013, we repaid in full, at par, $269.9 million principal amount then outstanding of our 6.25% senior notes due 2013 upon maturity.

In March 2013, we issued and sold: $258.8 million aggregate principal amount of 5.45% senior notes due 2043, at a public offering price equal to par, for total proceeds of $258.8 million before any underwriting discounts and expenses; and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.700% senior notes due 2020, at a public offering price equal to 99.942% of par, for total proceeds of $499.7 million before any underwriting discounts and expenses.

Capital Leases

As of December 31, 2012, we leased eight seniors housing communities pursuant to arrangements that were accounted for as capital leases. In January 2013, we acquired these facilities for aggregate consideration of $145.0 million, thereby eliminating our capital lease obligation.

NOTE 10—FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments were as follows:

Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and based upon several important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange.

NOTE 11—LITIGATION

Proceedings against Tenants, Operators and Managers

From time to time, Kindred, Brookdale Senior Living, Atria, Sunrise and our other tenants, operators and managers are parties to certain legal actions, regulatory investigations and claims arising in the conduct of their business and operations. Even though we generally are not party to these proceedings, the unfavorable resolution of any such actions, investigations or claims could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect such tenants’, operators’ or managers’ liquidity, financial condition or results of operations and their ability to satisfy their respective obligations to us, which, in turn, could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

Proceedings Indemnified and Defended by Third Parties

From time to time, we are party to certain legal actions, regulatory investigations and claims for which third parties are contractually obligated to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. The tenants of our triple-net leased properties and, in some cases, their affiliates are required by the terms of their leases and other agreements with us to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against certain actions, investigations and claims arising in the course of their business and related to the operations of our triple-net leased properties. In addition, third parties from whom we acquired certain of our assets and, in some cases, their affiliates are required by the terms of the related conveyance documents to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against certain actions, investigations and claims related to the acquired assets and arising prior to our ownership or related to excluded assets and liabilities. In some cases, a portion of the purchase price consideration is held in escrow for a specified period of time as collateral for these indemnification obligations. We are presently being defended by certain tenants and other obligated third parties in these types of matters. We cannot assure you that our tenants, their affiliates or other obligated third parties will continue to defend us in these matters, that our tenants, their affiliates or other obligated third parties will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to satisfy their defense and indemnification obligations to us or that any purchase price consideration held in escrow will be sufficient to satisfy claims for which we are entitled to indemnification. The unfavorable resolution of any such actions, investigations or claims could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect our tenants’ or other obligated third parties’ liquidity, financial condition or results of operations and their ability to satisfy their respective obligations to us, which, in turn, could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

Proceedings Arising in Connection with Senior Living and MOB Operations; Other Litigation

From time to time, we are party to various legal actions, regulatory investigations and claims (some of which may not be insured and some of which may allege large damage amounts) arising in connection with our senior living and MOB operations or otherwise in the course of our business. In limited circumstances, the manager of the applicable seniors housing community or MOB may be contractually obligated to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless against such actions, investigations and claims. It is the opinion of management that, except as otherwise set forth in this Note 11, the disposition of any such actions, investigations and claims that are currently pending will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on us. However, regardless of their merits, these matters may force us to expend significant financial resources to defend and resolve. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, investigations and claims, and if management’s assessment of our liability with respect thereto is incorrect, such actions, investigations and claims could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Code for every year beginning with the year ended December 31, 1999. We have also elected for certain of our subsidiaries to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS” or “TRS entities”), which are subject to federal and state income taxes. All entities other than the TRS entities are collectively referred to as “the REIT” within this Note 12.

Although the TRS entities have paid minimal cash federal income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013, their federal income tax liabilities may increase in future periods as we exhaust net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and as our senior living operations reportable business segment grows. Such increases could be significant.

Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was a benefit of $12.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was a benefit of $10.3 million and an expense of $6.2 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is due primarily to the release of valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets of one of our TRS entities. During the period, we determined, based on continued positive operating results, that more likely than not the deferred tax assets would be utilized in their entirety in future periods. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was due primarily to a valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets of one of our other TRS entities, as we determined that the corresponding assets did not meet the more likely than not criteria regarding utilization.

Realization of a deferred tax benefit related to NOLs depends in part upon generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. Our NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2024 with respect to our TRS entities and in 2016 for the REIT.

Each TRS is a tax paying component for purposes of classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities. Net deferred tax liabilities with respect to our TRS entities totaled $247.7 million and $257.0 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and related primarily to differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of fixed and intangible assets and to NOLs.

Generally, we are subject to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent years and are subject to audit by state taxing authorities for the year ended December 31, 2008 and subsequent years. We are also subject to audit by the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities generally for periods subsequent to 2007 related to entities acquired or formed in connection with our 2007 acquisition of Sunrise Senior Living Real Estate Investment Trust.

NOTE 13—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In March 2013, we established an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) equity offering program through which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $750 million of our common stock. Through June 30, 2013, we issued and sold a total of 1,128,700 shares of common stock under the program for aggregate net proceeds of $82.4 million, $77.3 million of which occurred in the second quarter of 2013, after sales agent commissions of $1.3 million. As of June 30, 2013, approximately $666.3 million of our common stock remained available for sale under our ATM equity offering program.

NOTE 15—SEGMENT INFORMATION

operators, such as Atria and Sunrise, to manage those communities. Under our MOB operations segment, we primarily acquire, own, develop, lease and manage MOBs. Information provided for “all other” includes income from loans and investments and other miscellaneous income and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to our three reportable business segments. Assets included in “all other” consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash, restricted cash, deferred financing costs, loans receivable and investments, and miscellaneous accounts receivable.

We evaluate performance of the combined properties in each reportable business segment based on segment profit, which we define as NOI adjusted for income/loss from unconsolidated entities. We define NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and medical office building services costs. Although we believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement, we consider segment profit a useful supplement to net income because it allows investors, analysts and our management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis. Segment profit should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical consolidated operating results, segment profit should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general, administrative and professional fees, income tax expense, discontinued operations and other non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual reportable business segments for purposes of assessing segment performance. There are no intersegment sales or transfers.

Summary information by reportable business segment is as follows:

NOTE 16—CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION (Unaudited)

We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligation to pay principal and interest with respect to the outstanding senior notes issued by our 100% owned subsidiaries, Ventas Realty, Limited Partnership (“Ventas Realty”) and Ventas Capital Corporation (collectively, the “Ventas Issuers”). Ventas Capital Corporation is a direct subsidiary of Ventas Realty that has no assets or operations, but was formed in 2002 solely to facilitate offerings of senior notes. None of our other subsidiaries (excluding the Ventas Issuers, the “Ventas Subsidiaries”) is obligated with respect to the Ventas Issuers’ outstanding senior notes.

In connection with the NHP acquisition, our 100% owned subsidiary, Nationwide Health Properties, LLC (“NHP LLC”), as successor to NHP, assumed the obligation to pay principal and interest with respect to the outstanding senior notes issued by NHP. We, the Ventas Issuers and the Ventas Subsidiaries (other than NHP LLC) are not obligated with respect to any of NHP LLC’s outstanding senior notes.

Contractual and legal restrictions, including those contained in the instruments governing our subsidiaries’ outstanding mortgage indebtedness, may under certain circumstances restrict our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries for the purpose of meeting our debt service obligations, including our guarantee of the payment of principal and interest on the Ventas Issuers’ senior notes. Certain of our real estate assets are also subject to mortgages.

The following summarizes our condensed consolidating information as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from our expectations. We do not undertake a duty to update these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.

Our actual future results and trends may differ materially from expectations depending on a variety of factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These factors include without limitation:


•	The ability and willingness of our tenants, operators, borrowers, managers and other third parties to satisfy their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with us, including, in some cases, their obligations to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities;


•	The ability of our tenants, operators, borrowers and managers to maintain the financial strength and liquidity necessary to satisfy their respective obligations and liabilities to third parties, including without limitation obligations under their existing credit facilities and other indebtedness;


•	Our success in implementing our business strategy and our ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments, including investments in different asset types and outside the United States;


•	Macroeconomic conditions such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets, changes in the debt rating on U.S. government securities, default or delay in payment by the United States of its obligations, and changes in the federal budget resulting in the reduction or nonpayment of Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement rates;


•	The nature and extent of future competition;


•	The extent of future or pending healthcare reform and regulation, including cost containment measures and changes in reimbursement policies, procedures and rates;


•	Increases in our borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors;


•	The ability of our operators and managers, as applicable, to comply with laws, rules and regulations in the operation of our properties, to deliver high-quality services, to attract and retain qualified personnel and to attract residents and patients;


•	Changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the markets in which we may, from time to time, compete, and the effect of those changes on our revenues, earnings and funding sources;

•	The ability and willingness of our tenants to renew their leases with us upon expiration of the leases, our ability to reposition our properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations, including indemnification obligations, we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant;

•

Risks associated with our senior living operating portfolio, such as factors that can cause volatility in our operating income and earnings generated by those properties, including without limitation national and regional economic conditions, costs of food, materials, energy, labor and services, employee benefit costs, insurance costs and professional and general liability claims, and the timely delivery of accurate property-level financial results for those properties;


•	Changes in U.S. and Canadian currency exchange rates;


•	Year-over-year changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) and the effect of those changes on the rent escalators contained in our leases, including the rent escalators for two of our master lease agreements with Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Kindred”), and our earnings;


•	Our ability and the ability of our tenants, operators, borrowers and managers to obtain and maintain adequate property, liability and other insurance from reputable, financially stable providers;


•	The impact of increased operating costs and uninsured professional liability claims on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations or that of our tenants, operators, borrowers and managers and our ability and the ability of our tenants, operators, borrowers and managers to accurately estimate the magnitude of those claims;


•	Risks associated with our medical office building (“MOB”) portfolio and operations, including our ability to successfully design, develop and manage MOBs, to accurately estimate our costs in fixed fee-for-service projects and to retain key personnel;


•	The ability of the hospitals on or near whose campuses our MOBs are located and their affiliated health systems to remain competitive and financially viable and to attract physicians and physician groups;


•	Our ability to build, maintain and expand our relationships with existing and prospective hospital and health system clients;


•	Risks associated with our investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision-making authority and our reliance on our joint venture partners’ financial condition;


•	The impact of market or issuer events on the liquidity or value of our investments in marketable securities;


•	Merger and acquisition activity in the healthcare and seniors housing industries resulting in a change of control of, or a competitor’s investment in, one or more of our tenants, operators, borrowers or managers or significant changes in the senior management of our tenants, operators, borrowers or managers; and


•	The impact of litigation or any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues that may affect us or our tenants, operators, borrowers or managers.

Many of these factors are beyond our control and the control of our management.

Company Overview

We are a REIT with a highly diversified portfolio of seniors housing and healthcare properties located throughout the United States and Canada. As of June 30, 2013, we owned more than 1,400 properties, including seniors housing communities, skilled nursing and other facilities, MOBs, and hospitals, in 46 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces, and we had four new projects under development. We are an S&P 500 company and currently headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

Our principal objective is to enhance shareholder value by delivering superior, reliable returns. To achieve this objective, we pursue a business strategy of: (1) generating consistent, reliable and growing cash flows; (2) maintaining a balanced, well-diversified portfolio of high-quality assets; and (3) preserving our financial strength, flexibility and liquidity.

Our ability to access capital in a timely and cost effective manner is critical to the success of our business strategy because it affects our ability to satisfy existing obligations, including the repayment of maturing indebtedness, and to make future investments. Our access to and cost of external capital are dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our securities, expectations of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, and the trading price of our common stock. Generally, we attempt to match the long-term duration of our investments in seniors housing and healthcare properties with long-term financing through the issuance of shares of our common stock or the incurrence of long-term fixed rate debt. At June 30, 2013, approximately 16.3% of our total consolidated debt was variable rate debt.

Operating Highlights and Key Performance Trends

2013 Highlights to Date


•	We paid the first and second installments of our 2013 dividend in equal quarterly payments of $0.67 per share, which represents an 8% increase over the prior year.


•	We issued and sold $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.700% senior notes due 2020 and $258.8 million aggregate principal amount of 5.45% senior notes due 2043.


•	We established an “at-the-market” equity offering program through which we may sell up to an aggregate of $750.0 million of our common stock, and we issued and sold a total of 1,128,700 shares for aggregate net proceeds of $82.4 million under the program.


•	We sold assets, including loans, and received final repayment on loans receivable for aggregate proceeds of $316.3 million.


•	We invested approximately $588 million, including $70 million of assumed debt, in 16 seniors housing communities (eight of which we were previously the tenant under a capital lease) and ten MOBs (two of which we previously accounted for as equity method investments).


•	We acquired an interest in a government-sponsored pooled loan investment for $21.0 million.

Concentration Risk

We use concentration ratios to understand and evaluate the potential risks of economic downturns or other adverse events affecting our asset types, geographic locations, business models, and tenants, operators and managers. We evaluate our concentration risk in terms of investment mix and operations mix. Investment mix measures the percentage of our investments that is concentrated in a specific asset type or that is operated or managed by a particular tenant, operator or manager. Operations mix measures the percentage of our operating results that is attributed to a particular tenant, operator or manager, geographic location or business model. The following tables reflect our concentration risk as of the dates and for the periods presented:

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosure and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and NOI to our net income as computed in accordance with GAAP.

Triple-Net Lease Expirations

As our triple-net leases expire, we face the risk that our tenants may elect not to renew those leases and, in the event of non-renewal, we may be unable to reposition the applicable properties on a timely basis or on the same or better economic terms, if at all. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we had no triple-net lease renewals or expirations without renewal that had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for those periods. We successfully

renewed, sold or transitioned to new operators all 89 healthcare assets whose leases with Kindred expired during the second quarter of 2013 on or before July 1, 2013.

Recent Developments Regarding Government Regulation

Medicare Reimbursement: Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals

On May 10, 2013, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) published its proposed rule updating the prospective payment system for long-term acute care hospitals (LTAC PPS) for the 2014 fiscal year (October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). Under the proposed rule, the LTAC PPS standard federal payment rate would increase by 1.8% in fiscal year 2014, reflecting a 2.5% increase in the market basket index, less both a 0.4% productivity adjustment and a 0.3% adjustment mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and its reconciliation measure, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Affordable Care Act”). After taking into account the second year of the three-year phase in of the permanent one-time budget neutrality adjustment, the LTAC PPS standard federal payment rate in fiscal year 2014 would increase under the proposed rule by 0.55% over the rate for the last nine months of fiscal year 2013. In addition, under the proposed rule, for long-term acute care hospitals that do not submit quality reporting data with respect to a fiscal year, any annual update to the LTAC PPS standard federal payment rate for discharges for the long-term acute care hospital during the fiscal year and after application of the market basket update would be further reduced by 2.0%. As a result, CMS estimates that net payments to long-term acute care hospitals under the proposed rule would increase by approximately $62 million, or 1.1%, in fiscal year 2014 due to the proposed changes to the standard federal payment rate, to the area wage adjustment and to high-cost and short-stay outlier payments; however, after taking into account the expiration of the moratorium on the implementation of the 25-percent rule to freestanding and grandfathered long-term acute care hospitals, CMS estimates that net payments to long-term acute care hospitals under the proposed rule would decrease by $128 million in fiscal year 2014 relative to fiscal year 2013.

This rule is a proposed rule and is not final. CMS accepted comments on the proposed rule through June 25, 2013. A final rule is expected to be announced no later than August 1, 2013. We are currently analyzing the financial implications of this proposed rule on the operators of our long-term acute care hospitals. We cannot provide any assurance that the final rule issued by CMS or other future updates to LTAC PPS or Medicare reimbursement for long-term acute care hospitals will not materially adversely affect our operators, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, on our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations and on our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, as required for us to continue to qualify as a REIT (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

Medicare Reimbursement: Skilled Nursing Facilities

On May 6, 2013, CMS published its proposed rule updating the prospective payment system for skilled nursing facilities (SNF PPS) for the 2014 fiscal year (October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). Under the proposed rule, the SNF PPS standard federal payment rate would increase by 1.4% in fiscal year 2014, reflecting a 2.3% increase in the market basket index, less a 0.5% forecast error adjustment and a 0.4% productivity adjustment mandated by the Affordable Care Act. CMS estimates that net payments to skilled nursing facilities as a result of the proposed rule will increase by approximately $500 million in fiscal year 2014.

This rule is a proposed rule and is not final. CMS accepted comments on the proposed rule through July 1, 2013. A final rule is expected to be announced no later than August 1, 2013. We are currently analyzing the financial implications of this proposed rule on the operators of our skilled nursing facilities. We cannot provide any assurance that the final rule issued by CMS or other future updates to SNF PPS or Medicare reimbursement for skilled nursing facilities will not materially adversely affect our operators, which, in turn, could have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, we may have applied a different accounting treatment, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. We periodically reevaluate our estimates and assumptions, and in the event

they prove to be different from actual results, we make adjustments in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2013, for further information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

As of June 30, 2013, we operated through three reportable business segments: triple-net leased properties, senior living operations and MOB operations. Under our triple-net leased properties segment, we acquire and own seniors housing and healthcare properties throughout the United States and lease those properties to healthcare operating companies under “triple-net” or “absolute-net” leases that obligate the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Under our senior living operations segment, we invest in seniors housing communities throughout the United States and Canada and engage independent operators, such as Atria and Sunrise, to manage those communities. Under our MOB operations segment, we primarily acquire, own, develop, lease, and manage MOBs. Information provided for “all other” includes income from loans and investments and other miscellaneous income and various corporate-level expenses not directly attributable to our three reportable business segments. Assets included in “all other” consist primarily of corporate assets, including cash, restricted cash, deferred financing costs, loans receivable and investments, and miscellaneous accounts receivable.

The table below shows our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the effect of changes in those results from period to period on our net income attributable to common stockholders.

Segment NOI—Triple-Net Leased Properties

NOI for our triple-net leased properties reportable business segment equals the rental income and other services revenue earned from our triple-net assets. We incur no direct operating expenses for this segment.

The following table summarizes results of continuing operations in our triple-net leased properties reportable business segment:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease) to NOI
	2013		2012		$		%
	(Dollars in thousands)
Segment NOI—Triple-Net Leased Properties:

Other services revenue	1,115		1,110		5		0.5
Segment NOI	$	215,354	$	205,671	9,683		4.7

Triple-net leased properties segment NOI increased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 over the prior year primarily due to contractual rent escalations pursuant to the terms of our leases, increases in base and other rent under our existing triple-net leases and rent from the properties we acquired after June 30, 2012.

In our triple-net leased properties segment, our revenues generally do not depend on the underlying operating performance of the properties, but rather consist of fixed rental amounts (subject to annual contractual escalations) received from our tenants in accordance with the applicable lease terms. Therefore, while occupancy rates may affect the profitability of our tenants’ operations, they do not have a direct impact on our revenues or financial results. The following table sets forth average continuing occupancy rates related to the triple-net leased properties we owned at June 30, 2013 for the first quarter of 2013 (which is the most recent information available to us from our tenants) and average continuing occupancy rates related to the triple-net leased properties we owned at June 30, 2012 for the first quarter of 2012.

Segment NOI	$	110,257		$	96,406		13,851			14.4

Revenues attributed to our senior living operations segment consist of resident fees and services, which include all amounts earned from residents at our seniors housing communities, such as rental fees related to resident leases, extended health care fees and other ancillary service income. Our senior living operations segment revenues increased in the second quarter of 2013 over the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to the seniors housing communities we acquired after June 30, 2012 and the 16 seniors housing communities managed by Sunrise (the “Sunrise-Managed Sixteen Communities”) that we acquired in May 2012, higher average unit occupancy rates in our communities and higher average monthly revenue per occupied room.

Property-level operating expenses related to our senior living operations segment include labor, food, utilities, marketing, management and other costs of operating the properties. Property-level operating expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012 primarily due to the acquired properties described above, increases in salaries, supplies and insurance costs, and higher management fees primarily due to increased revenues.

The following table compares results of continuing operations for our 188 same-store stabilized senior living operating communities. For purposes of this table, we define same-store stabilized communities as communities that we owned and classified as stable for the full period in both comparison periods.

The increases in our MOB operations segment revenues and property-level operating expenses in the second quarter of 2013 over the same period in 2012 are attributed primarily to the MOBs we acquired after June 30, 2012, including the controlling interests in 38 MOBs that we had previously accounted for as investments in unconsolidated entities.

Medical office building services revenue and costs both decreased year over year primarily due to reduced construction activity during 2013 compared to 2012.

The following table compares results of continuing operations for our 236 same-store stabilized MOBs. For purposes of this table, we define same-store stabilized MOBs as MOBs that we owned and classified as stable for the entire period from April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.

Segment NOI—All Other

All other NOI consists solely of income from loans and investments. Income from loans and investments increased for the three months ended June 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012 primarily due to $446.0 million aggregate amount of secured loans and other investments we made in December 2012 and thereafter, which have a weighted average effective interest rate of 9.3%, and gains on the sale of marketable debt securities during the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by the sales of portions of certain loans in 2013.

Interest Expense

The $7.4 million increase in total interest expense, including interest allocated to discontinued operations of $0.7 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is attributed primarily to $8.6 million of additional interest due to higher debt balances, partially offset by a $1.2 million reduction in interest due to lower effective interest rates, including the amortization of any fair value adjustments. Our effective interest rate, excluding activity related to our capital leases, was 3.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 3.94% for the same period in 2012.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the full amortization in the fourth quarter of 2012 of certain in-place lease intangibles related to our acquisition of Atria Senior Living Group, Inc. (together with its affiliates, “ASLG”) in May 2011 and the full amortization in the second quarter of 2013 of certain in-place lease intangibles related to our acquisition of the Sunrise-Managed Sixteen Communities, partially offset by increases for properties we acquired subsequent to June 30, 2012.

Gain/Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2012 resulted primarily from our redemption in May 2012 of all $225.0 million principal amount then outstanding of our 6¾% senior notes due 2017. There were no similar material transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Merger-Related Expenses and Deal Costs

Merger-related expenses and deal costs for both periods consist of transition and integration expenses related to consummated transactions and deal costs required by GAAP to be expensed rather than capitalized into the asset value. The $30.0 million decrease in the second quarter of 2013 over the prior year is primarily due to lower transition and integration costs attributable to lower investment activity in 2013 compared to 2012.

Other

Other primarily includes building rent expense paid to lease certain of our senior living operating communities. The increase in other during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 is due primarily to various asset acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2012.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to the release of valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets. Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was due primarily to the income tax benefit of ordinary losses related to the ASLG acquisition.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflects activity related to 23 properties, ten of which were sold during the second quarter of 2013 and 13 of which were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2013. We recognized a net gain of $1.7 million on the sales of these properties for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Discontinued operations for the comparable 2012 period reflects activity related to 65 properties, 13 of which were sold during the second quarter of 2012, resulting in a net gain of $38.6 million.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three months ended June 30, 2013 represents our partners’ joint venture interests in 50 properties. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three months ended June 30, 2012 represents our partners’ joint venture interests in 39 properties.

Segment NOI—All Other

All other NOI consists solely of income from loans and investments. Income from loans and investments increased for the six months ended June 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012 primarily due to $446.0 million aggregate amount of secured loans and other investments we made in December 2012 and thereafter, which have a weighted average effective interest rate of 9.3%, and gains on the sale of marketable debt securities during the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by the sales of portions of certain loans in 2013.

Interest Expense

The $16.1 million increase in total interest expense, including interest allocated to discontinued operations of $1.6 million and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is attributed primarily to $27.3 million of additional interest due to higher debt balances, partially offset by a $11.1 million reduction in interest due to lower effective interest rates, including the amortization of any fair value adjustments. Our effective interest rate, excluding activity related to our capital leases, was 3.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 4.1% for the same period in 2012.

General, Administrative and Professional Fees

General, administrative and professional fees increased year over year primarily due to our continued organizational growth.

Gain/Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2012 resulted primarily from our redemption in March 2012 of all $200.0 million principal amount outstanding of our 6½% senior notes due 2016 and our redemption in May 2012 of all $225.0 million principal amount then outstanding of our 6¾% senior notes due 2017. There were no similar material transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Merger-Related Expenses and Deal Costs

Merger-related expenses and deal costs for both periods consist of transition and integration expenses related to consummated transactions and deal costs required by GAAP to be expensed rather than capitalized into the asset value. The $33.7 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2013 over the prior year is primarily due to lower transition and integration costs attributable to lower investment activity in 2013 compared to 2012.

Other

Other primarily includes building rent expense paid to lease certain of our senior living operating communities. The increase in other during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 is due primarily to various asset acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2012.

Income Tax Benefit/Expense

Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to the release of valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets of one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS” or “TRS entities”). Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was due primarily to a $15.1 million valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets of one of our other TRS entities, partially offset by the income tax benefit of ordinary losses related to the ASLG acquisition.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 reflects activity related to 30 properties, 17 of which were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 13 of which were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2013. We recognized a net gain of $2.2 million on the sales of these properties for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Discontinued operations for the comparable 2012 period reflects activity related to 75 properties, 23 of which were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2012, resulting in a net gain of $78.8 million.

Net Income/Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2013 represents our partners’ joint venture interests in 51 properties. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2012 represents our partners’ joint venture interests in 39 properties.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. Set forth below are descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures we use in evaluating our operating performance and that we consider most useful to investors, as well as reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures we present in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, these measures should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors deem presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. To overcome this problem, we consider Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance of an equity REIT. We also believe that normalized FFO provides useful information because it allows investors, analysts and our management to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by

unanticipated items and other events such as transactions and litigation. In some cases, we provide information regarding identified non-cash components of FFO and normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items on our financial results.

We use the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate property, including gain on re-measurement of equity method investments, and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We define normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following income and expense items (which may be recurring in nature): (a) net gains on the sales of real property assets, including gain on re-measurement of equity method investments; (b) merger-related costs and expenses, including amortization of intangibles and transition and integration expenses, and deal costs and expenses, including expenses and recoveries relating to acquisition lawsuits; (c) the impact of any expenses related to asset impairment and valuation allowances, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, or additional costs, expenses, discounts, make-whole payments, penalties or premiums incurred as a result of early retirement or payment of our debt; (d) the non-cash effect of income tax benefits or expenses and derivative transactions that have non-cash mark-to-market impacts on our Consolidated Statements of Income; (e) the impact of future acquisitions or divestitures (including pursuant to tenant options to purchase) and capital transactions; (f) the financial impact of contingent consideration; (g) charitable donations made to the Ventas Charitable Foundation; and (h) gains and losses for non-operational foreign currency hedge agreements and changes in the fair value of financial instruments.

Our FFO and normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are summarized in the following table. The increases in normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 over the same periods in 2012 are due primarily to our $2.7 billion of investments in 2012, NOI increases in each of our reportable business segments and lower weighted average interest rates. These benefits were partially offset by higher debt balances and increases in net cash balances during the year resulting from debt and equity issuances, asset sales and receipt of loan repayments in 2013 and 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA

We consider Adjusted EBITDA an important supplemental measure to net income because it provides additional information with which to evaluate the performance of our operations and serves as another indication of our ability to service debt. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash stock-based compensation expense), excluding net loss on extinguishment of debt, merger-related expenses and deal costs, net gains on real estate activity and changes in the fair value of financial instruments (including amounts in discontinued operations). The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (including amounts in discontinued operations) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

NOI

We also consider NOI an important supplemental measure to net income because it allows investors, analysts and our management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis. We define NOI as total revenues, less interest and other income, property-level operating expenses and medical office building services costs (including amounts in discontinued operations). Cash receipts may differ due to straight-line recognition of certain rental income and the application of other GAAP policies. The following table reconciles NOI to net income (including amounts in discontinued operations) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2013, we had a total of $62.4 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, operating cash and cash related to our senior living operations and MOB operations reportable business segments that is deposited and held in property-level accounts. Funds maintained in the property-level accounts are used primarily for the payment of property-level expenses, debt service payments and certain capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2013, we also had escrow deposits and restricted cash of $94.5 million and $1.73 billion of unused borrowing capacity available under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our principal sources of liquidity were proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt securities, cash flows from operations, proceeds from repayments of our loans receivable, proceeds from asset sales and cash on hand.

For the next 12 months, our principal liquidity needs are to: (i) fund operating expenses; (ii) meet our debt service requirements; (iii) repay maturing mortgage and other debt; (iv) fund capital expenditures primarily for our senior living operations and MOB operations reportable business segments; (v) fund acquisitions, investments and commitments, including development activities; and (vi) make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders, as required for us to continue to qualify as a REIT. We expect that these liquidity needs generally will be satisfied by a combination of the following: cash flows from operations, cash on hand, debt assumptions and financings, issuances of debt and equity securities, proceeds from sales of real estate assets and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. However, if any of these sources of liquidity is unavailable to us or is not available at an acceptable cost or if we engage in significant acquisition or investment activity, we may seek or require additional capital through additional debt assumptions and financings (including secured financings),

dispositions of assets (in whole or in part through joint venture arrangements with third parties) and/or issuances of debt and equity securities.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

We have $2.0 billion of aggregate borrowing capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which may be increased to up to $2.5 billion at our option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, and includes sublimits of (a) up to $200 million for letters of credit, (b) up to $200 million for swingline loans, (c) up to $250 million for loans in certain alternative currencies, and (d) up to 50% of the facility for certain negotiated rate loans. Borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to a reference rate (the applicable LIBOR for Eurocurrency rate loans and the higher of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the administrative agent’s prime rate and (iii) the applicable LIBOR plus 1.0% for base rate loans) plus a spread based on our senior unsecured long-term debt ratings. We also pay a facility fee ranging from 15 basis points to 45 basis points per annum (based on our senior unsecured long-term debt ratings) on the aggregate revolving commitments under our unsecured revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2013, the applicable spread was 110 basis points for Eurocurrency rate loans and 10 basis points for base rate loans and the facility fee was 17.5 basis points. Borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility mature on October 16, 2015, but may be extended for an additional period of one year at our option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Senior Notes

In February 2013, we repaid in full, at par, $269.9 million principal amount then outstanding of our 6.25% senior notes due 2013 upon maturity.

Equity Offerings and Related Events

In March 2013, we established an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) equity offering program through which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $750 million of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we issued and sold a total of 72,300 shares of common stock under the program for aggregate net proceeds of $5.1 million, after sales commissions of $0.1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we issued and sold a total of 1,056,400 shares of common stock under the program for aggregate net proceeds of $77.3 million, after sales commissions of $1.2 million.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease) to Cash
	2013			2012			$			%

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	62,421		$	52,803		9,618			18.2

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased during the six months ended June 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012 primarily due to significant changes in working capital, offset by increases in NOI and FFO as previously described.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 consisted primarily of cash paid for our investments in real estate ($283.6 million and $899.4 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively), investments in loans receivable and other ($32.3 million and $27.3 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively), capital expenditures ($32.5 million and $23.8 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively) and development project expenditures ($48.3 million and $60.6 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively). These uses were partially offset by proceeds from loans receivable ($218.0 million and $33.2 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively), proceeds from real estate disposals ($24.3 million and $8.8 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively) and proceeds from sale or maturity of marketable securities ($5.5 million in 2013).

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in/provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 consisted primarily of net proceeds from the issuance of debt ($918.5 million and $1.3 billion in 2013 and 2012, respectively) and net proceeds from the issuance of common stock ($82.4 million and $342.5 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively). These cash inflows were offset by net payments made on our unsecured revolving credit facility ($280.9 million and $88.7 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively), debt repayments ($685.5 million and $645.7 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively), cash distributions to common stockholders, unitholders and noncontrolling interest parties ($399.6 million and $367.1 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively), and payments for deferred financing costs ($13.0 million and $3.0 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively).

Capital Expenditures

The terms of our triple-net leases generally obligate our tenants to pay all capital expenditures necessary to maintain and improve our triple-net leased properties. From time to time, however, we may fund the capital expenditures for our triple-net leased properties through loans to the tenants or advances, which in certain cases may increase the amount of rent payable with respect to the properties. After the terms of the triple-net leases expire, or in the event that our tenants are unable or unwilling to meet their obligations under those leases, we would expect to fund any capital expenditures for which we may become responsible with cash flows from operations or through additional borrowings.

With respect to our senior living operations and MOB operations reportable business segments, we expect that capital expenditures will be funded by the cash flows from the properties or through additional borrowings. To the extent that unanticipated expenditures or significant borrowings are required, our liquidity may be affected adversely. Our ability to borrow additional funds may be restricted in certain circumstances by the terms of the instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness.

We are party to certain agreements that obligate us to develop healthcare or seniors housing properties. The construction of these properties is funded through capital provided by us and, in some circumstances, our joint venture partners. As of June 30, 2013, four projects were in various stages of development pursuant to these agreements. Through June 30, 2013, we have funded $41.7 million of our estimated total commitment over the projected development period ($60.0 million to $80.0 million) toward these projects.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion of our exposure to various market risks contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These projected results have been prepared utilizing certain assumptions considered reasonable in light of information currently available to us. Nevertheless, because of the inherent unpredictability of interest rates as well as other factors, actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking information.

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates on borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and our unsecured term loans, certain of our mortgage loans that are floating rate obligations, mortgage loans receivable that bear interest at floating rates and marketable debt securities. These market risks result primarily from changes in LIBOR rates or prime rates. We continuously monitor our level of floating rate debt with respect to total debt and other factors, including our assessment of current and future economic conditions.

For fixed rate debt, interest rate fluctuations generally affect the fair value, but do not impact our earnings or cash flows. Therefore, interest rate risk does not have a significant impact on our fixed rate debt obligations until such obligations mature or until we elect to prepay and refinance such obligations. If interest rates have risen at the time our fixed rate debt matures or is refinanced, our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected by additional borrowing costs. Conversely, lower interest rates at the time of maturity or refinancing may lower our overall borrowing costs.

To highlight the sensitivity of our fixed rate debt to changes in interest rates, the following summary shows the effects of a hypothetical instantaneous change of 100 basis points (“BPS”) in interest rates as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:



	As of June 30, 2013		As of December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Gross book value	$	7,002,160	$	6,522,295

+100 BPS	6,730,643		6,559,949


(1)	The change in fair value of our fixed rate debt was due primarily to senior note issuances and repayments made in 2013.

The table below sets forth certain information with respect to our debt, excluding premiums, discounts and capital lease obligations.

(1)	In July 2013, we repaid in full approximately $126.2 million of the mortgage loans outstanding as of June 30, 2013.

The variable rate debt in the table above reflects, in part, the effect of $154.4 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with a maturity of March 21, 2016 that effectively convert fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. In addition, the fixed rate debt in the table above reflects, in part, the effect of $60.7 million notional amount of interest rate swaps with maturities

ranging from March 2, 2015 to April 1, 2019, in each case that effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The decrease in our outstanding variable rate debt at June 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 is primarily attributable to the repayment of borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the terms of certain leases with one of our tenants, if interest rates increase on certain variable rate debt that we have totaling $80.0 million as of June 30, 2013, our tenant is required to pay us additional rent (on a dollar-for-dollar basis) in an amount equal to the increase in interest expense resulting from the increased interest rates. Therefore, the increase in interest expense related to this debt is equally offset by an increase in additional rent due to us from the tenant. Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate related to our variable rate debt and assuming no change in our variable rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2013, interest expense for 2013 would increase by approximately $13.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share. The fair value of our fixed and variable rate debt is based on current interest rates at which we could obtain similar borrowings.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our joint venture and operating partners’ aggregate share of total debt was $181.6 million and $174.7 million, respectively, with respect to certain properties we owned through consolidated joint ventures and an operating partnership. Total debt does not include our portion of debt related to investments in unconsolidated entities, which was $91.1 million and $92.8 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of our secured and unsecured loans receivable, based on our estimates of currently prevailing rates for comparable loans, was $495.8 million and $701.9 million, respectively.

We are subject to fluctuations in U.S. and Canadian currency exchange rates that may, from time to time, affect our financial condition and results of operations. Increases or decreases in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar impact the amount of net income we earn from our 12 seniors housing communities in Canada. Based solely on our results for the six months ended June 30, 2013, if the Canadian dollar exchange rate were to increase or decrease by $0.10, our net income from these communities would decrease or increase, as applicable, by less than $0.1 million for the six-month period. If we increase our international presence through investments in, or acquisitions or development of, seniors housing or healthcare assets outside the United States, we may also decide to transact additional business or borrow funds under our unsecured revolving credit facility in currencies other than U.S. or Canadian dollars. Although we may decide to pursue hedging alternatives (including additional borrowings in local currencies) to protect against foreign currency fluctuations, we cannot assure you that any such fluctuations will not have a Material Adverse Effect on us.

In the future, we may engage in hedging strategies to manage our exposure to market risks, depending on an analysis of the interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate environments and the costs and risks of such strategies. However, we do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2013, at the reasonable assurance level.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the second quarter of 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as set forth therein, there have been no new material legal proceedings and no material developments in the legal proceedings reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The table below summarizes repurchases of our common stock made during the three months ended June 30, 2013:

(1)
