ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2017
 
NOTE 1.                           ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

See Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2017 (the “Annual Report”), for a description of all significant accounting policies. 
Description of Business
 
AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”), through its subsidiaries (together, the “Company” or “we”), is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living. The Company’s business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities to third-party tenants, which operate such facilities. The operators of the Company’s facilities provide a range of healthcare services, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents.

The Company was incorporated in Ohio on August 14, 1991, under the name Passport Retirement, Inc. In 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and changed its name to AdCare Health Systems, Inc. AdCare completed its initial public offering in November 2006. Initially based in Ohio, the Company expanded its portfolio through a series of strategic acquisitions to include properties in a number of other states, primarily in the Southeast. In 2012, the Company relocated its executive offices and accounting operations to Georgia, and AdCare changed its state of incorporation from Ohio to Georgia on December 12, 2013.

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

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

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulations S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 

9

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

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

Revenue Recognition and Allowances
Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company's triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectibility 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. In the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future collection of rent from one or more tenant(s) of the Company’s facilities, rental income for the affected facilities will be recognized only upon cash collection, and any accumulated straight-line rent receivable will be reversed in the period in which the Company first deems rent collection no longer reasonably assured.

Management Fee Revenue and Other. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as services are provided. Further, the Company recognizes income from lease inducement receivables and interest income from loans and investments, using the effective interest method when collectibility is reasonably assured. We apply the effective interest method on a loan-by-loan basis.

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

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company allowed for approximately $4.3 million and $7.5 million , respectively, of gross patient care related receivables arising from our legacy operations. Allowance for patient care receivables are estimated based on an aged bucket method as well as additional analyses of remaining balances incorporating different payor types. Any changes in patient care receivable allowances are recognized as a component of discontinued operations. All uncollected patient care receivables were fully allowed at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Accounts receivable, net totaled $1.5 million at June 30, 2017 and $2.4 million at December 31, 2016 , of which $0.2 million and $0.9 million , respectively, related to patient care receivables from our legacy operations.
Self-Insurance
The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations during 2014 and 2015 (see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Annual Report for more information). The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (iv) the status and likely success of any mediation or settlement discussions; and (v) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. The Company currently believes that most of the professional and general liability actions, and particularly many of the most recently filed actions, are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company's estimated legal costs of litigating the pending actions accordingly. Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve

10

may not be sufficient to cover the legal costs actually incurred in litigating the pending actions. Since these reserves are based on estimates, the actual expenses we incur may differ from the amount reserved (see Note 8 - Accrued Expenses ).
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments 
Accounting guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1—     Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2—     Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3—     Significant unobservable inputs
The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments of the Company approximates their fair value. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values, they are receivable or payable on demand, or the interest rates earned and/or paid approximate current market rates.

Adopted Standards

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

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


Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, the FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. The Company has reviewed the FASB accounting pronouncements and ASU interpretations that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 , which requires revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods and services. This new standard requires the disclosure of sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance does not affect the recognition of revenue from

11

leases. In August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year and subsequently amended the new revenue standard under ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 in April and May 2016, respectively. ASU 2016-10 provides additional guidance for identifying performance obligations and licenses of intellectual property, and ASU 2016-12 clarifies guidance regarding collectibility, noncash considerations and completed contracts at transition. These new revenue standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early application is permitted under the original effective date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As our main revenue stream is lease revenues, the Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which provides revised accounting guidance related to the accounting for and reporting of financial instruments. This guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as a comprehensive new lease standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance, ASC 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 creates a new Topic, ASC 842, Leases . This new Topic retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

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

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 , which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which simplifies the required periodic test for goodwill impairment and modifies the concept of impairment of goodwill under previous guidance, ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other . Under the updated guidance, a goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This simplification eliminates previous requirements to determine the implied fair value of goodwill and record a loss on impairment equal to the carrying value of goodwill less the implied fair value. Further, the ASU modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted on a prospective basis for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2.                           EARNINGS PER SHARE  

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except: (i) net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the assumed conversion of convertible debt into shares of common stock; and (ii) the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes potentially dilutive securities (such as options, warrants and additional shares of common stock issuable under convertible debt outstanding during the period) when such securities are not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities from options and warrants are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Potentially dilutive securities from convertible debt are calculated based on the assumed issuance at the beginning of the period, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from their assumed issuance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , approximately 2.4 million and 4.5 million shares, respectively, of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share calculation because including them would have been anti-dilutive for such periods.

NOTE 3.                           LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY

Sources of Liquidity

The Company continues to undertake measures to grow its operations and to reduce its expenses by: (i) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in its existing properties; (ii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iii) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments; and (iv) reducing general and administrative expenses.

At June 30, 2017 , the Company had $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash and investments of $3.7 million . In addition, management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash flows from operations and cash on hand. Management holds routine ongoing discussions with existing lenders and potential new lenders to refinance current debt on a longer term basis and, in recent years, has refinanced shorter term acquisition debt, with traditional longer term mortgage notes, many of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs. Historically, the Company has raised capital through other sources, including issuances of preferred stock and convertible debt.

On May 27, 2017, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with JMP Securities LLC to sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $4,618,472 through an “at-the-market” offering program (the “ATM”). From the inception of the ATM through June 30, 2017 , the Company sold 50,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock generating net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million , (see Note 12 - Common and Preferred Stock ). No shares of Series A Preferred Stock were sold under the ATM since June 30, 2017 . On August 2, 2017 the Company terminated the Sales Agreement and discontinued sales under the ATM. Management anticipates renewing its at-the-market offering program with respect to sales of Series A Preferred Stock as a source of liquidity over the next twelve months.

On July 31, 2017, the Company extended the maturity date of a $1.2 million credit facility entered into in December 2012 between a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the First Commercial bank associated with its Northwest Oklahoma facility (the “Northwest Credit Facility”) from December 31, 2017 to July 31, 2020.

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

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

On September 19, 2016, the Company obtained an option to extend the maturity date, subject to customary conditions, of a $4.4 million credit facility entered into in September 2013 between a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Housing & Healthcare Funding, LLC (the "Quail Creek Credit Facility") from September 2017 to September 2018, which option management intends to exercise. On August 10, 2017, the Company extended the maturity date of the Quail Creek Credit Facility to December 31, 2017 and retains the option to further extend the maturity date of such credit facility to September 2018. There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance or further extend the maturity date of this credit facility on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all.

Cash Requirements

At June 30, 2017 , the Company had $74.2 million in indebtedness of which the current portion is $4.1 million . The current portion is comprised of the following components: (i) convertible debt of $1.5 million ; and (ii) other debt of approximately $2.6 million

14

which includes senior debt - bond and mortgage indebtedness (for a complete listing of our debt, see Note 9 - Notes Payable and Other Debt ).

The Company anticipates net principal disbursements, over the next twelve months, of approximately $4.1 million , which includes $1.5 million of convertible debt, approximately $0.3 million of payments on shorter term vendor notes, $1.9 million of routine debt service amortization, and a $0.4 million payment of other debt. Based on the described sources of liquidity, the Company expects sufficient funds for its operations and scheduled debt service, at least through the next twelve months. On a longer term basis, at June 30, 2017 , the Company had approximately $10.5 million of debt maturities due over the two -year period ending June 30, 2019 . These debt maturities include the aforementioned $1.5 million of convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into shares of the common stock in addition to $4.4 million with respect to the Quail Creek Credit Facility. The Company believes its long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied by cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings as required to refinance indebtedness as well as other sources, including issuances of preferred stock and convertible debt.

The Company is a defendant in a total of 41 professional and general liability cases. The claims generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets, of $6.1 million and $6.9 million at June 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The Company currently believes that most of the professional and general liability actions, and particularly many of the most recently filed actions, are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company's estimated legal costs of litigating the pending actions, which are expected to be paid over time as litigation continues. The duration of such legal proceedings could be greater than one year subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2017 ; however, management cannot reliably estimate the exact timing of payments. The Company expects to fund litigation and potential indemnity costs through cash on hand as well as other sources as described above.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company generated positive cash flow from operations and anticipates positive cash flow from operations through the remainder of the current year. In order to satisfy the Company’s capital needs, the Company seeks to: (i) refinance debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms; (ii) raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities; and (iii) increase operating cash flows through acquisitions. The Company anticipates that these actions, if successful, will provide the opportunity to maintain its liquidity, thereby permitting the Company to better meet its operating and financing obligations for the next twelve months. However, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful. Management’s ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities and the terms upon which we are able to raise such capital may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain the listing of the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock on the NYSE American, formerly known as the NYSE MKT.

(a) Estimated minimum lease payments for the year ending December 31, 2017 include only payments to be recorded after June 30, 2017 .
Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators
The Company leases or subleases 27 facilities ( 16 owned by the Company and 11 leased to the Company) to third-party tenants on a triple net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the third-party tenant of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property, including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable.
Peach Health. On June 18, 2016, ADK entered into a master sublease agreement (the “Peach Health Sublease”) with Peach Health Sublessee, providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of and operate the Peach Facilities as subtenant. The Jeffersonville Facility and the Oceanside Facility were previously decertified by CMS in February and May 2016, respectively, for deficiencies related to the operations and maintenance of the facility while operated by the previous sublessee ( see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7 - Leases included in the Annual Report for additional information). The Jeffersonville Facility and the Oceanside Facility were recertified by CMS as of December 20, 2016 and February 7, 2017, respectively, which are the Rent Commencement Dates for such facilities.

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

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

18

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

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

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

Arkansas Leases and Facilities . Until February 3, 2016, the Company subleased through its subsidiaries (the “Aria Sublessors”) nine facilities located in Arkansas (collectively, the “Arkansas Facilities”) to affiliates (the “Aria Sublessees”) of Aria Health Group, LLC (“Aria”) pursuant to separate sublease agreements (the “Aria Subleases”). Effective February 3, 2016, the Company terminated each Aria Sublease due to the applicable Aria Sublessee’s failure to pay rent pursuant to the terms of such sublease. From February 5, 2016 to October 6, 2016, nine wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Skyline Lessor”) leased the Arkansas Facilities to Skyline Healthcare LLC (“Skyline”), or an affiliate of Skyline (the “Skyline Lessee”), pursuant to a Master Lease Agreement, dated February 5, 2016 (the “Skyline Lease”). The term of the Skyline Lease commenced on April 1, 2016. In connection with the Skyline Lease, the Skyline Lessors entered into an Option Agreement, dated February 5, 2016, with Joseph Schwartz, the manager of Skyline, pursuant to which Mr. Schwartz, or an entity designated by Mr. Schwartz (the “Purchaser”), had an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Arkansas Facilities at a purchase price of $55.0 million , consisting of cash consideration in the amount of $52.0 million and a promissory note with a principal amount of $3.0 million . The Company completed the sale of the Arkansas Facilities to the Purchaser on October 6, 2016. For further information see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7 - Leases included in the Annual Report).

Meadowood. On March 8, 2017, AdCare executed a purchase and sale agreement with Meadowood Retirement Village, LLC and Meadowood Properties, LLC (the “Meadowood Purchase Agreement”) to acquire the Meadowood Facility for $5.5 million cash. On March 21, 2017, AdCare executed a long-term lease with an affiliate of C.R. Management (the “Meadowood Operator”) to lease the Meadowood Facility effective on May 1, 2017. For further information, see Note 10 - Acquisitions .

In addition, on March 21, 2017, AdCare executed a long-term, triple net operating lease with the Meadowood Operator to lease the facility upon purchase. Lease terms include: (i) a 13 -year initial term with one five -year renewal option; (ii) base rent of $37,500 per month; (iii) a rental escalator of 2.0% per annum in the initial term and 2.5% per annum in the renewal term; (iv) a cross renewal provision, whereby the Meadowood Operator may exercise the lease renewal for the Meadowood Facility if its affiliate exercises the lease renewal option for Coosa Valley Health Care, a 124 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Gadsden, Alabama (the “Coosa Valley Facility”); and (v) a security deposit equal to one month of base rent. The Company completed the purchase of the Meadowood Facility on May 1, 2017 pursuant to the Meadowood Purchase Agreement, at which time the lease commenced and operations of the Meadowood Facility transferred to the Meadowood Operator.

The following table sets forth the preliminary purchase price allocation of the Meadowood Facility:

NOTE 12.                        COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

Common and Preferred Stock Repurchase Activity

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

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

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

Preferred Stock Offerings and Dividends

Dividends declared and paid on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were $0.68 per share, or $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company sold 43,204 and 230,109 shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the Company’s At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, dated July 21, 2015, at an average sale price of $22.15 and $20.51 (excluding fees and commissions) per share, respectively. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , after payment of sales commissions and discounts and all other expenses incurred by the Company.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company sold, under the ATM and pursuant to the Sales Agreement, a total of 50,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock generating net proceeds of $1.0 million at an average price of $21.80 per

25

share, exclusive of commissions and related fees. As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had 2,811,535 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. On August 2, 2017, the Company terminated the Sales Agreement and discontinued sales under the ATM.

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

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

For historical information regarding the Series A Preferred Stock, the ATM and prior share repurchase programs, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 12 - Common and Preferred Stock included in the Annual Report.

Stock Incentive Plan
The AdCare Health Systems, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Stock Incentive Plan”) expires March 28, 2021 and provides for a maximum of 2,027,393 shares of common stock to be issued. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of incentive or nonqualified stock options and the granting of restricted stock. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board. The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the employees to whom awards will be made, the amounts of the awards, and the other terms and conditions of the awards. As of June 30, 2017 , the number of securities remaining available for future issuance is 594,179 .
In addition to the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company grants stock warrants to officers, directors, employees and certain consultants to the Company from time to time as determined by the Board and, when appropriate, the Compensation Committee.

NOTE 14.  .                      VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Non-consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Aria. On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a lease inducement (the “Aria Lease Inducement”) with Aria Health Consulting, LLC with respect to the Aria Subleases. The Aria Lease Inducement provided for a one-time payment from the Company to Aria Health Consulting, LLC equal to $2.0 million minus the security deposits and first month’s base and special rent for all Aria Subleases. On April 30, 2015, in connection with the Aria Lease Inducement, eight of the Aria Subleases were amended to, among other things, provide that the Aria Sublessees shall, collectively, pay to the Aria Sublessors special rent in the amount of $29,500 per month payable in advance on or before the first day of each month (except for the first special rent payment, which was subtracted from the lease inducement fee paid by the Company under the Aria Lease Inducement).
On July 17, 2015, the Company made a short-term loan to Highlands Arkansas Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Aria (“HAH”), for working capital purposes, and, in connection therewith, HAH executed a promissory note (the “ HAH Note”) in favor of the Company. Since July 17, 2015, the HAH Note has been amended from time to time and currently has an outstanding principal amount of $ 1.0 million and matured on December 31, 2016 . On October 6, 2015, HAH and the Company entered into a security agreement, whereby HAH granted the Company a security interest in all accounts arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees, and all rights to payment from patients, residents, private insurers and others arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees (including any proceeds thereof), as security for payment of the HAH Note, as amended, and certain rent and security deposit obligations of the Aria Sublessees under Aria Subleases. On March 1, 2017, the Company was advised by the bankruptcy trustee in the Aria bankruptcy proceeding, that $0.8 million was available for repayment of all of Aria’s remaining obligations, including the HAH Note. Accordingly, the Company has charged a $0.2 million bad debt expense to the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2017 . Though management continues to believe that the remaining receivable balance on the HAH Note is collectible, there is no guarantee that the bankruptcy court will approve full repayment of the HAH Note to the Company or that AdCare will prevail in any avoidance action that may be filed

28

against it, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. For further information, see Note 7 - Leases and Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies .

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

Effective February 3, 2016, each Aria Sublessor terminated the applicable Aria Sublease due to the applicable Aria Sublessee’s failure to pay rent pursuant to the terms of such sublease.

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

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

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

NOTE 15.                        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory Matters

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

Legal Matters

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

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

29

investigations against or involving the Company, for the Company’s prior operations, or the Company’s tenants, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Professional and General Liability Claims . As of June 30, 2017 , the Company was a defendant in a total of 41 professional and general liability actions commenced on behalf of former patients, of which 28 cases were filed in the State of Arkansas by the same plaintiff attorney who represented the plaintiffs in the lawsuit captioned Amy Cleveland et. al. v. APHR&R Nursing, LLC et. al. filed on March 4, 2015 with the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, 16th Division, 6th Circuit. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 , three professional and general liability claims against the Company were dismissed, two of which were dismissed without prejudice. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. Two of the pending actions are covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage. The actions are in various stages of discovery, and the Company intends to vigorously litigate the claims.

The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets of $6.1 million and $6.9 million at June 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The decrease in the reserve at June 30, 2017 , primarily reflects the legal and associated settlement amounts paid. For additional information regarding the Company’s self-insurance reserve, please see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies included in the Annual Report.

Ohio Attorney General Action. On October 27, 2016, the Attorney General of Ohio (the “OAG”) filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio a complaint against The Pavilion Care Center, LLC, Hearth & Home of Greenfield, LLC (each a subsidiary of the Company), and certain other parties (including parties for which the Company provides or provided management services). The lawsuit alleges that defendants submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and further alleges that defendants (i) engaged in deception, (ii) willfully received Medicaid payments to which they were not entitled or in a greater amount than that to which they were entitled, and (iii) obtained payments under the Medicaid program to which they were not entitled pursuant to their provider agreements and applicable Medicaid rules and regulations. The OAG is seeking, among other things, triple the amount of damages proven at trial (plus interest) and not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each deceptive claim or falsification. As previously disclosed, the Company received a letter from the OAG in February 2014 demanding repayment of allegedly improper Medicaid claims related to glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and penalties of approximately $1.0 million , and the Company responded to such letter in July 2014 denying all claims. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2017 in which it denied the allegations. An order granting a motion to stay this proceeding was granted in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio on July 12, 2017. Although there is no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact on the Company’s business or its financial condition, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend the claim.

Aria Bankruptcy Proceeding . On May 31, 2016, HAH and nine affiliates of HAH, (Highland of Stamps, LLC,; Highlands of Rogers Dixieland, LLC,; Highlands of North Little Rock John Ashley, LLC,; Highlands of Mountain View SNF, LLC,; Highlands of Mountain View RCF, LLC,; Highlands of Little Rock West Markham, LLC,; Highlands of Little Rock South Cumberland, LLC,; Highlands of Little Rock Riley, LLC,; and Highlands of Fort Smith, LLC,; collectively with HAH, the “Debtors”), filed petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for relief under Chapter 7 (“Chapter 7”) under the  United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended. Following venue transfer from the Delaware court, these cases are pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. 
 
On April 21, 2017, AdCare moved for relief from the automatic stay seeking release of its collateral, the Debtors’ accounts and their proceeds, which the trustee has represented total approximately $800,000 . AdCare’s motion was opposed by the Chapter 7 trustee and another creditor, in May 2017.  In its objection, the Chapter 7 trustee asserts that AdCare is not entitled to any of the $800,000 with respect to the HAH Note. Discovery with respect to the motion is ongoing, and the motion is currently set for hearing on September 12, 2017. In addition to opposing AdCare’s claim to the $800,000 , the Chapter 7 trustee has also taken the position that he is investigating avoidance claims against AdCare with respect to funds it received from the Debtors prior to the bankruptcy filings. The trustee’s statute of limitation for filing avoidance actions runs on May 31, 2018. There is no guarantee that the bankruptcy court will approve repayment of the HAH Note to AdCare or that AdCare will prevail in any avoidance action that may be filed against it.

Liquidity Overview

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company generated positive cash flow from operations and anticipates positive cash flow from operations later in the current year. At June 30, 2017 , we had: (i) $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents; (ii) restricted cash of $3.7 million ; and (iii) $74.2 million in indebtedness, of which the current portion is $4.1 million . This current portion is comprised of the following components: (i) convertible debt of $1.5 million ; and (ii) remaining debt of approximately $2.6 million which includes senior debt - bond and mortgage indebtedness.

In November 2016, the Board approved the November 2016 Repurchase Program, pursuant to which AdCare was authorized to repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock during a twelve-month period. The November 2016 Repurchase Program succeeded the November 2015 Repurchase Program, which terminated in accordance with its terms. Share repurchases under the November 2016 Repurchase Program could be made from time to time through open market transactions, block trades or privately negotiated transactions and were subject to market conditions, as well as corporate, regulatory and other considerations. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company made no repurchases of Series A Preferred Stock and repurchased 118,199 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of approximately $1.54 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees, for a net disbursement of approximately $0.2 million . No repurchases of common stock were made during the three months ended June 30, 2017 . The Company suspended the November 2016 Repurchase Program in February 2017.

34


On May 27, 2017, the Company entered into the Sales Agreement with JMP Securities LLC to sell, from time to time, shares of the Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $4,618,472 through the ATM. From the inception of the ATM through June 30, 2017 , the Company sold a total of 50,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, generating net proceeds of $1.0 million at an average price of $21.80 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees. On August 2, 2017, the Company terminated the Sales Agreement and discontinued sales under the ATM. Management anticipates renewing its at-the-market offering program with respect to sales of Series A Preferred Stock as a source of liquidity over the next twelve months.

Over the next twelve months, we anticipate access to several sources of liquidity, including cash flows from operations and cash on hand. In addition, we hold routine ongoing discussions with existing lenders and potential new lenders to refinance current debt on a longer term basis and, in recent years, have refinanced shorter term acquisition debt, with traditional longer term mortgage notes, many of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs. Over the next twelve months, we anticipate net principal disbursements of approximately $4.1 million , which includes $1.5 million of convertible debt, approximately $0.3 million of payments on shorter term vendor notes, $1.9 million of routine debt service amortization and a $0.4 million payment of other debt. Based on the described sources of liquidity, we expect sufficient funds for our operations and scheduled debt service, at least through the next twelve months.

On a longer term basis, at June 30, 2017 , the Company has approximately $10.5 million of debt maturities due over the next two year period ending June 30, 2019 . These debt maturities include the aforementioned $1.5 million of convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into shares of the common stock in addition to $4.4 million with respect to the Quail Creek Credit Facility. We believe our long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied by these same sources, as well as borrowings as required to refinance indebtedness.

On July 17, 2015, the Company made a short-term working capital loan (which has been amended from time to time) to HAH, in the amount of $ 1.0 million with a maturity date of December 31, 2016 . On October 6, 2015, HAH and the Company entered into a security agreement, whereby HAH granted the Company a security interest in all accounts arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees, and all rights to payment from patients, residents, private insurers and others arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees (including any proceeds thereof), as security for payment of the HAH Note, as amended, and certain rent and security deposit obligations of the Aria Sublessees under Aria Subleases. On March 1, 2017, the Company was advised, by the bankruptcy trustee in the Aria bankruptcy proceeding, that $0.8 million was available for repayment of all of Aria’s remaining obligations, including the HAH Note. Though management continues to believe that the remaining receivable balance on the HAH Note is collectible, there is no guarantee that the bankruptcy court will approve full repayment of the HAH Note to the Company or that AdCare will prevail in any avoidance action that may be filed against it, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

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

For a more detailed discussion, see Note 3 - Liquidity and Profitability to the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Acquisitions
On March 8, 2017, the Company executed the Meadowood Purchase Agreement with Meadowood Retirement Village, LLC and Meadowood Properties, LLC to acquire the Meadowood Facility (an assisted living and memory care community with 106 operational beds in Glencoe, Alabama) for $5.5 million cash. In addition, on March 21, 2017, the Company executed a long-term lease with the Meadowood Operator to lease the facility upon purchase. Lease terms include: (i) a 13 -year initial term with one five -year renewal option; (ii) base rent of $37,500 per month; (iii) a rental escalator of 2.0% per annum in the initial term and 2.5% per annum in the renewal term; (iv) a cross renewal provision, whereby the tenant may exercise the lease renewal option if the affiliates tenant exercises the lease renewal option of the Coosa Valley Facility; and (v) a security deposit equal to one month of base rent. The Company completed the purchase of Meadowood on May 1, 2017 pursuant to the Meadowood Purchase Agreement, at which time the lease commenced and operations of the Meadowood Facility transferred to the Meadowood Operator.


35

In connection with the Meadowood Purchase Agreement, on May 1, 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into the Meadowood Credit Facility with the Exchange Bank of Alabama, which provides for a $4.1 million principal amount secured credit facility maturing on May 1, 2022. Interest on the Meadowood Credit Facility accrues on the principal balance thereof at 4.5% per annum. The Meadowood Credit Facility is secured by the Meadowood Facility.

Divestitures
There were no divestitures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . For historical information regarding the Company’s divestitures, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 11 - Discontinued Operations included in the Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis we review our judgments and estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to doubtful accounts, income taxes, stock compensation, intangible assets and loss contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, business knowledge and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates. These estimates are evaluated by management and revised as circumstances change.
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company see Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Rental Revenues —Total rental revenue decrease d by $0.9 million , or 13.7% , to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $6.9 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease reflects lower rent due to the sale of the Arkansas Facilities on October 6, 2016, partially off-set by lease revenue from the Meadowood Facility (acquired on May 1, 2017) and the Peach Facilities. The Company recognizes all rental revenues on a straight line rent accrual basis except with respect to the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility under the Peach Health Sublease prior to recertification (which were recertified by CMS, in February 2017 and December 2016, respectively), the Aria Subleases (which were terminated for non-payment of rent) and the Skyline Lease (which terminated upon sale of the Arkansas Facilities), for which rental revenue is recognized based on cash amount owed, and the sublease with affiliates of New Beginnings (which terminated in connection with the bankruptcy of such entities), for which rental revenue is recognized when cash is received.
Management Fee and Other Revenues —Management fee and other revenues increased by $0.1 million , or 31.0% , to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $0.3 million for the same period in 2016 , due to $0.1 million increase from the recognition of interest income related to lease inducements and seller note receivables.
Facility Rent Expense —Facility rent expense was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , and $2.2 million for the same period in 2016 . Rent expense year over year is comparable due to the completion of the Company's transition to a healthcare property holding and leasing company. For further information see Note 7 - Leases , to the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

37

Depreciation and Amortization —Depreciation and amortization decrease d by $0.2 million , or 12.5% , to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $1.3 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease is primarily due to the sale of the Arkansas Facilities on October 6, 2016, that were classified as held for sale beginning May 2016, with the subsequent cessation of depreciation expense partially offset by depreciation on the Meadowood Facility acquired on May 1, 2017 and leasehold improvements on the Peach Facilities.
General and Administrative —General and administrative costs decrease d by $1.3 million , or 61.5% , to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $2.1 million for the same period in 2016 . The net decrease is due to a continued reduction in overhead and specifically the following: (i) a decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits expense of approximately $0.5 million, (ii) a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million and (iii) a decrease in legal, contract services, IT, insurance and other expenses of approximately $0.5 million.
Other Operating Expenses —Other operating expense decrease d by $0.6 million , or 66.7% , to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $1.0 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease is due to $0.8 million non-recurring prior year property and bed tax expenses partially offset by a $0.2 million investigation expense related to an internal investigation with respect to the circumstances surrounding the inaccurate representation of the educational credentials of William McBride, III, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, in the current year period.
Interest Expense, Net —Interest expense, decreased by $0.7 million , or 42.5% , to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $1.8 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease is mainly due to the repayment of $36.0 million of debt in connection with the Arkansas Facilities and the sale thereof in October 2016 and $6.7 million principal repayment of the 2015 Notes on January 10, 2017 pursuant to the Tender Offer and the remaining $1.0 million on April 30, 2017, partially offset by $4.1 million in new financing for the Meadowood Facility and approximately $1.5 million from repayment of debt related to an office building and the Company’s skilled nursing facility known as the Quail Creek Nursing & Rehabilitation Center located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the “Quail Creek Facility”).
Loss from Discontinued Operations —The loss from discontinued operations decreased by $3.2 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $3.8 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease is primarily due to lower bad debt expense. Current period expenses comprise legal, collection activities and bad debt.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016
Rental Revenues —Total rental revenue decrease d by $2.0 million , or 14.7% , to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $13.7 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease reflects lower rent due to the sale of the Arkansas Facilities on October 6, 2016, partially off-set by lease revenue from the Meadowood Facility (acquired on May 1, 2017) and the Peach Facilities. The Company recognizes all rental revenues on a straight line rent accrual basis except with respect to the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility under the Peach Health Sublease prior to recertification (which were recertified by CMS, in February 2017 and December 2016, respectively), the Aria Subleases (which were terminated for non-payment of rent) and the Skyline Lease (which terminated upon sale of the Arkansas Facilities), for which rental revenue is recognized based on cash amount owed, and the sublease with affiliates of New Beginnings (which terminated in connection with the bankruptcy of such entities), for which rental revenue is recognized when cash is received.
Management Fee and Other Revenues —Management fee and other revenues increased by $0.2 million , or 41.8% , to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $0.5 million for the same period in 2016 , due to a $0.2 million increase from the recognition of interest income related to lease inducements and seller note receivables.
Facility Rent Expense —Facility rent expense was $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , and $4.3 million million for the same period in 2016 . Rent expense year over year is comparable due to the completion of the Company's transition to a healthcare property holding and leasing company. For further information, see Note 7 - Leases , to the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Depreciation and Amortization —Depreciation and amortization decrease d by $0.7 million , or 24.4% , to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $3.1 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease is primarily due to the sale of the Arkansas Facilities on October 6, 2016, that were classified as held for sale beginning May 2016, with the subsequent cessation of depreciation expense partially off-set by depreciation on the Meadowood Facility acquired on May 1, 2017 and leasehold improvements on the Peach Facilities.
General and Administrative —General and administrative costs decrease d by $2.2 million , or 47.7% , to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $4.7 million for the same period in 2016 . The net decrease is due to a continued reduction in overhead and specifically the following: (i) a decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits expense of approximately $0.8 million, (ii) a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million and (iii) a decrease in legal, contract services, IT, insurance and other expenses of approximately $0.8 million.

38

Other Operating Expenses —Other operating expense decrease d by $0.3 million , or 25.1% , to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $1.2 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease is primarily due to (i) $0.8 million non-recurring prior year property and bed tax expenses, (ii) the release of $0.2 million workers compensation accrual in the prior year, (iii) an accrual for an indemnity issue of approximately $0.2 million and (iv) an approximately $0.2 million investigation expense related to an internal investigation with respect to the circumstances surrounding the inaccurate representation of the educational credentials of William McBride, III, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, in the current year period.
Interest Expense, Net —Interest expense, decrease d by $1.5 million or 43.0% to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $3.6 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease is mainly due to the repayment of $36.0 million of debt in connection with the Arkansas Facilities and the sale thereof in October 2016 and $6.7 million principal repayment of the 2015 Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer on January 10, 2017 and the remaining $1.0 million on April 30, 2017, partially offset by $4.1 million in new financing for the Meadowood Facility and approximately $5.4 million from repayment of debt related to the Arkansas Facility sale, the Coosa Valley Facility and Attalla Health Care, a 182-bed skilled nursing facility located in Attalla, Alabama (“the Attalla Facility”), an office building, and the Quail Creek Facility in the prior period.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment —Loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , was due to a pre payment penalty incurred on March 20, 2017, when mortgage indebtedness related to the Coosa Valley Facility, and the Attalla Facility, was reduced by $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively through the application of restricted cash held as collateral against such indebtedness.
Loss from Discontinued Operations —The loss from discontinued operations decrease d by $3.3 million to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , compared with $4.3 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease is primarily due to lower bad debt expense. Current period expenses comprise legal, collection activities and bad debt.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net cash provided by operating activities—continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $ 2.6 million , consisting primarily of our income from operations less changes in working capital, and noncash charges (primarily depreciation and amortization, rent revenue in excess of cash received and bad debt expense), all primarily the result of routine operating activity.

39

Net cash used in operating activities—discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $0.9 million . This amount was to fund legal and associated settlement costs related to our legacy professional and general liability claims, in addition to settling legacy vendor liabilities.

Net cash used investing activities—continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $ 0.1 million . This is the result of a net decrease in restricted cash deposits of approximately $1.8 million offset by (i) $1.4 million for the Meadowood acquisition transaction consisting of $5.5 million purchase price offset by the associated $4.1 million financing and (ii) capital expenditures of approximately $0.5 million on building improvements notably, for the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility to assist the Peach Health Sublessee in connection with recertification efforts.
Net cash used in financing activities—continuing operations was approximately $ 13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . This is primarily the result of repayments of $7.7 million of convertible debt, $2.6 million of other existing debt obligations and $4.0 million payment of preferred stock dividends partially off-set by net proceeds of $1.0 million from issuances of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Net cash used in financing activities—discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $0.3 million .

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
 
Net cash provided in operating activities—continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $ 2.3 million , consisting primarily of our loss from operations less changes in working capital, and noncash charges (primarily depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, rent revenue in excess of cash received, and amortization of debt discounts and related deferred financing costs), all primarily the result of routine operating activity.
Net cash used in operating activities—discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $2.3 million as we continued to settle legacy vendor liabilities.

Net cash provided by investing activities—continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $ 7.1 million . This is primarily the result of a net release in restricted cash deposits of approximately $ 4.8 million and proceeds from sale of property and equipment of approximately $1.4 million and $1.0 million earnest money deposit received for the pending sale of the Arkansas Facilities.
Net cash used in financing activities—continuing operations was approximately $ 5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . This is primarily the result of repayments of existing debt obligations of approximately $ 6.6 million , and payments of dividends of approximately $ 3.6 million . These uses were offset by net cash proceeds received from issuances of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and additional debt borrowings of approximately $ 4.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Net cash used in financing activities—discontinued operations was approximately $0.7 million .


Notes Payable and Other Debt

For information regarding the Company’s debt financings, see Note 9 - Notes Payable and Other Debt , to the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 9 - Notes Payable and Other Debt included in the Annual Report.

Receivables

Our operations could be adversely affected if we experience significant delays in receipt of rental income from our tenants.

Accounts receivable, net totaled $1.5 million at June 30, 2017 and $2.4 million at December 31, 2016 , of which $0.2 million and $0.9 million , respectively, related to patient care receivables from our legacy operations.
The allowance for doubtful accounts was $4.3 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. We continually evaluate the adequacy of our bad debt reserves based on aging of older balances, payment terms and historical collection trends after facility operations transfer to third-party operators. We continue to evaluate and implement additional processes to strengthen our collection efforts and reduce the incidence of uncollectible accounts.

Operating Leases
For information regarding the Company’s operating leases, see Note 7 - Leases , to the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7 - Leases included in the Annual Report.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.  

Disclosure in response to Item 3. of Form 10-Q is not required to be provided by smaller reporting companies.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

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

There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

The Company is a defendant in various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to patients. Although the Company settles cases from time to time when settlement can be achieved on a reasonable basis, the Company vigorously defends any matter in which it believes the claims lack merit and the Company has a reasonable chance to prevail at trial or in arbitration. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and there is risk in the Company's strategy of aggressively defending these cases. There is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Although arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business, certain of these matters are described below under "Professional and General Liability Claims."
Professional and General Liability Claims . As of June 30, 2017 , the Company was a defendant in a total of 41 professional and general liability actions commenced on behalf of former patients, of which 28 cases were filed in the State of Arkansas by the same plaintiff attorney who represented the plaintiffs in the lawsuit captioned Amy Cleveland et. al. v. APHR&R Nursing, LLC et al. filed on March 4, 2015 with the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, 16th Division, 6th Circuit. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 , three professional and general liability claims against the Company were dismissed, two of which were dismissed without prejudice. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. Two of the pending actions are covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage. The actions are in various stages of discovery, and the Company intends to vigorously litigate the claims.

The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets of $6.1 million and $6.9 million at June 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The decrease in the reserve at June 30, 2017 primarily reflects the legal costs and associated settlement amounts paid. For additional information regarding the Company’s self-insurance reserve, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies included in the Annual Report.

Ohio Attorney General Action. On October 27, 2016, the OAG filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio a complaint against The Pavilion Care Center, LLC, Hearth & Home of Greenfield, LLC (each a subsidiary of the Company), and certain other parties (including parties for which the Company provides or provided management services). The lawsuit alleges that defendants submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and further alleges that defendants (i) engaged in deception, (ii) willfully received Medicaid payments to which they were not entitled or in a greater amount than that to which they were entitled, and (iii) obtained payments under the Medicaid program to which they were not entitled pursuant to their provider agreements and applicable Medicaid rules and regulations. The OAG is seeking, among other things, triple the amount of damages proven at trial (plus interest) and not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each deceptive claim or falsification. As previously disclosed, the Company received a letter from the OAG in February 2014 demanding repayment of allegedly improper Medicaid claims related to glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and penalties of approximately $1.0 million , and the Company responded to such letter in July 2014 denying all claims. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2017 in which it denied the allegations. An order granting a motion to stay this proceeding was granted in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio on July 12, 2017. Although there is no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact on the Company’s business or its financial condition, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend the claim.

For information with respect to the Aria bankruptcy proceeding, see Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies. Also see Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a description of all significant legal proceedings. 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

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