(1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. (the Company or CapTerra), is a full service health care real
estate development company. We provide development, acquisition, ownership, financing, leasing, and
asset and property management services. We also invest in and manage medical office and other
healthcare related real estate throughout the United States. We have agreements to manage
facilities in California, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, and Washington.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, and
results of operations for CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. and its wholly- and majority-owned
subsidiaries. As discussed in Note 2, the Company completed a business combination with NexCore
Group LP on September 29, 2010 which was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. We continually monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of,
the financial institutions with which we invest. We had $1 million in restricted cash as of
September 30, 2010 related to certain minimum balances the Company is required to maintain related
to the joint venture discussed in Note 4.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers. The Company considers accounts more
than 30 days old to be past due. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specific customer
collection issues. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, it was determined that an allowance
was not considered necessary.
Pre-Development Costs
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-35, Revenue
Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, the Company has capitalized certain
costs related to prospective development projects. Such costs remain on the balance sheet until we
determine if they are going to proceed with the project. These costs include, but are not limited
to, legal fees, marketing, travel, architectural and engineering, due diligence and other expenses.
Once it is determined that a cost should be part of a project, they are recorded as a direct cost.
If it is deemed probable by management that a prospective project will not materialize, any related
costs are expensed and recorded as general and administrative expenses at the time of
determination.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from
three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the expected life or
term of the lease. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing property
and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and
equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated Statements of Operations.
5
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets at least annually, or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. For the quarter ended
September 30, 2010 no impairments existed.
Revenue Recognition
Development fees are recognized over the life of a development project on a percent complete basis
where the circumstances are such that total profit can be estimated with reasonable accuracy and
ultimate realization is reasonably assured. The Company records revenue and profit utilizing the
percentage of completion method using the input method which utilizes actual hours spent internally
on the project compared to the total forecasted hours to be spent on the project. As of September
30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $438,372 and $61,316, respectively, of
revenue in excess of billings.
The Company sources tenants and negotiates leases for buildings it manages and in return is paid a
leasing commission. Leasing commission revenue is recognized based on each negotiated contract with
the building owner and is recognized as services are performed unless future contingencies exist.
Property management fees, tenant coordination fees and legal consultation fees are recognized
monthly as services are performed, unless future obligations exist. Acquisition and disposition
fees are recognized at the culmination of the purchase or sale of a building.
Certain contractual arrangements for services provide for the delivery of multiple services. The
Company evaluates revenue recognition for each service to be rendered under these arrangements
using criteria set forth in the ASC Subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements. For services
that meet the separability criteria, revenue is recognized separately. For services that do not
meet these criteria, revenue is recognized on a combined basis.
In addition, in regard to development service contracts, the owner of the property will typically
reimburse the Company for certain expenses that are incurred on behalf of the owner. The Company
bases the treatment of reimbursable expenses for financial reporting purposes upon the fee
structure of the underlying contract. Contracts are accounted for on a net basis when the fee
structure is comprised of at least two distinct elements, namely (i) a fixed management fee and
(ii) a separate component that allows for expenses to be billed directly to the client. When
accounting on a net basis, the Company includes the fixed management fee in reported revenue and
nets the reimbursement against expenses. The Company bases this accounting on the following
factors, which defines NexCore as an agent rather than a principal:
|
|
|
The property owner, with ultimate approval rights relating to the expenditures and
bearing all of the economic costs of such expenditures, is determined to be the primary
obligor in the arrangement; |
|
|
|
Because the property owner is contractually obligated to fund all operating costs of the
property from existing cash flow or direct funding from its building operating account, the
Company bears little or no credit risk; and |
|
|
|
The Company generally earns no margin in the reimbursement aspect of the arrangement,
obtaining reimbursement only for actual costs incurred. |
All of our service contracts are accounted for on a net basis. This treatment has no impact on
operating income, net income or cash flows.
See Note 11 for a detail of revenue recognized by activity for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Equity Method Investments
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for under the equity method and generally
include all entities in which the Company does not have significant influence, not more than 50
percent voting control, and is not considered the primary beneficiary. All profit from
transactions, if any, with equity method investments has been eliminated in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company and/or its subsidiaries may be a limited partner or member in a limited liability
company of related development projects. The determination of the appropriate accounting with
respect to our variable interest entities (VIEs), including joint ventures, is based on the
requirements of the Consolidation Topic. The Company consolidates any VIE for which it is
considered the primary beneficiary. The Company determines if an entity is a VIE under the Topic
based on several factors, including whether the entitys total equity investment at risk upon
inception is sufficient to finance the entitys activities without additional subordinated
financial support. The Company makes judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk
based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. In a
quantitative analysis, the Company incorporates various estimates, including estimated future cash
flows, asset hold periods and discount rates, as well as estimates of the probabilities of various
scenarios occurring. If the entity is a VIE, the Company then determines whether to consolidate the
entity as the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE
and consolidates the entity if it will absorb a majority of the entitys expected losses, receive a
majority of the entitys expected residual returns or both. As reconsideration events occur, the
Company will reconsider its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary
beneficiary is to determine if there is a change in the original determinations and will report
such changes on a quarterly basis. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE
under the requirements of the Consolidation Topic, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation
under the requirements of the Real Estate General Topic, as amended by the requirements of the
Consolidation Topic. Entities that are not consolidated are accounted for as Investments using
the equity method. Earnings and losses from these entities are included in the Companys
consolidated Statement of Operations.
Subsequent to January 1, 2010, the Company adopted amended guidance under the consolidation topic.
Under this guidance, the Company now determines if it has the power to direct the activities of a
VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance or if it has the obligation to absorb
losses. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
Guarantees
The Company accounts for guarantees in accordance with the requirements of the Guarantee Topic. The
Topic elaborates on the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that
a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the
obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Management evaluates these guarantees to determine
if the guarantee meets the criteria required to record a liability. As of September 30, 2010 our
guarantee, referred to in Note 8, met the criteria to be recorded as a liability; however, the
amount was de minimus and no value was recorded.
Fair Value Measurements
The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of these financial instruments is
considered to be representative of their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The recorded value of the Companys borrowings discussed in Notes 8 and 9 approximate fair value.
ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. ASC 820 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and
liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped,
based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that
are observable for the asset or liability; or |
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
7
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of
financial assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include real estate
held for sale which approximates fair value as determined by using the future expected net cash
flows on the sale of the property. The valuation of real estate held for sale and related
impairment is considered a Level 2 fair value measures under ASC 820.
The Companys stock was thinly traded prior to the business combination and therefore, is not
considered a reasonable indication of fair value. As a result, the Company determined the fair
value of the consideration exchanged in the business combination that is detailed in Note 2 based
on the net book value per share of CapTerra prior to the merger. The valuation of the consideration
exchanged is considered a Level 3 assumption.
Earnings Per Share
Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share is determined by dividing the net income by
the sum of (1) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and (2) if not
anti-dilutive, the effect of stock awards determined utilizing the treasury stock method. The
dilutive effect of outstanding awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was
20,804 and 7,011 shares, respectively. Stock awards to purchase 1,566,588 shares of common stock
were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 since the results would have been anti-dilutive. No awards were outstanding
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Because the business combination with NexCore Group LP on September 29, 2010 was accounted for as a
reverse merger, the number of common shares outstanding from the beginning of that period to the
acquisition date were computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares of
Nexcore outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger
agreement. The weighted average number of shares used in the earnings per share calculations were
based on historical weighted-average number of common shares outstanding multiplied by the exchange
ratio. The number of common shares outstanding from the acquisition date to the end of that period
is the actual number of common shares of CapTerra outstanding during that period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to require
additional disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and
enhanced detail in the Level 3 reconciliation. The guidance was amended to clarify the level of
disaggregation required for assets and liabilities and the disclosures required for inputs and
valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities that fall in either
Level 2 or Level 3. The updated guidance was effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2010, with the exception of the Level 3 disaggregation which is effective for the
Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption had no impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update titled Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. This new guidance
requires additional disclosures to be provided, which are as follows: 1) transfers in and out of
Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for the transfers, 2) additional breakout of asset and liability
categories and 3) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be reported separately in the
Level 3 rollforward. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of
operations or financial condition.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2010 and 2009, none
of which are expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position,
operations, or cash flows.

(2) Business Combination
On September 29, 2010, the Company acquired the general partner interest and 90% of the limited
partnership interests of NexCore, a real estate development company. The purchase consideration was
valued by looking to the fair value of the CapTerra interest received based upon the fair value of
CapTerras common stock. Under the Agreement, we will issue an additional 8,000,000 shares of
common stock if we do not have a specified amount of net operating loss carryforwards for state and
Federal income tax purposes (collectively, NOLs ) for use during the period from the closing to
January 1, 2014 (the NOL Shares ). If issued, the NOL Shares will be issued to each former
NexCore partner in proportion to the amount of shares such partner received in the
Acquisition. The determination of our NOLs will be based on our Federal income tax return for the
year ended December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2010, the Company deems the issuance of these
shares not to be probable. As such, we have not recorded any reserve for possible issuance of
these shares at the time of acquisition or as of September 30, 2010.
The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $190,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2010, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business
Combinations. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, thus the historical
operating results, cashflows and financial position presented in the consolidated Balance Sheet and
Statement of Operations are those of NexCore. The accumulated deficit of NexCore has been carried
forward and common stock and additional paid-in-capital of the combined Company have been
retroactively restated as if the combination occurred on the first day of the earliest period
presented. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition because (1) the former
NexCore partners have the ability to elect majority of the members of the Board of Directors, (2)
the management of the combined entity will consist primarily of the former senior management of
NexCore and (3) the former partners of NexCore hold a large minority voting interest in the
combined entity and have deposited their shares into a combined voting trust where they will vote
together.
The 10% non-controlling interest in NexCore is recorded on the balance sheet as of the date of the
business combination based on 10% of the historical value of NexCores net assets prior the
business combination.
The assets and liabilities of CapTerra have been recorded at their fair values which approximated
the purchase price. As there was de minimus excess purchase price, no intangibles or goodwill were
recorded in connection with the business combination. The fair value of CapTerras assets and
liabilities consisted of the following at the date of acquisition:

(3) Real Estate Held for Sale
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had nine non-medical properties classified as real estate
held for sale totaling $7,191,821 in costs, three of which, representing a total cost of
$3,506,054, were completed projects and six of which, representing a total cost of $3,685,767, were
raw land currently being marketed for sale. These non-medical properties are located in Arizona,
Colorado, California, Florida, South Carolina and Utah. The Company, after its combination with
Nexcore Group LP, is focused on health care real estate and has elected to dispose of all
non-medical real estate assets.
Management periodically evaluates the Companys real estate held for sale to determine whether
events or changes in circumstances indicate that a possible impairment in the carrying values of
the assets has occurred. As part of this evaluation, the Company records the carrying value of the
property at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated selling
costs. The amount the Company will ultimately realize on these asset sales could differ from the
amount recorded in the financial statements. Any excess gain on the sales will be used to repay
additional amounts on related party debt discussed in Note 8. The Company engages real estate
brokers to assist in determining the estimated selling price or when external opinions are not
available uses their own market knowledge. The estimated selling costs are based on the Companys
experience with similar asset sales. The Company records impairment charges and writes down an
assets carrying value if the carrying value exceeds the estimated selling price less costs to
sell.
In connection with the business combination, as discussed in Note 2, the real estate held for sale
was brought over at the fair value as of the combination date.
(4) Investment in Joint Venture
The Companys investment that is accounted for on the equity method of accounting consists of an
investment in a joint venture with an institutional equity partner. The Company owns a 15% interest
in this joint venture. The purpose of the joint venture is to construct a health care facility
near Chicago, Illinois. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company invested
$2,551,343 in this joint venture. No earnings or losses from the joint venture were recognized as
of September 30, 2010 in the Companys consolidated Statement of Operations as the amounts were
de minimus. In connection with the joint venture, the Company signed a guarantee agreement with
the lender detailed in Note 8.
(5) Property and Equipment
Our property and equipment consists mainly of computer equipment, leasehold improvements and office
equipment. Property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. Depreciation and
amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $32,911 and $
27,270 respectively.

(7) Income Taxes
Significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets relate to approximately $6 million of
differences in basis of real estate assets held for sale and approximately $5 million of net
operating loss carryforwards. The net operating loss carryforwards are subject to certain
limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and other
limitations under state tax laws.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income
tax purposes.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the realization of future taxable
income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers past history, the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future
taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. A valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The majority of our NOL carryforwards will expire through
the year 2030. The company has recognized a full valuation allowance.

promissory notes. Each note is issued for individual projects under the facility and must be
underwritten and approved by United Western Bank and has a term of 12 months with one (1) allowable
extension not to exceed 6 months subject to approval. Interest is funded from an interest reserve
established with each construction loan. The interest rate on each note is equal to Prime rate
minus 50 basis points Each note under the facility is for an amount, as determined by United
Western Bank, not to exceed the lesser of 75% of the appraised value of the real property under the
approved appraisal for the project or 75% of the project costs. Principal on each note is due at
maturity, with no prepayment penalty. United Western Bank retains a First Deed of Trust on each
property financed.

The Company sub-leases its primary office building. The sublease requires monthly base rent
payments of approximately $17,535, which increase approximately 3% on November 1st of
each year. The lease expires October 31, 2011. In addition, the Company pays certain facility
operating costs as a portion of rent expense. Rent expense was $59,724 and $59,164 for the quarters
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under these operating leases approximate the following:

The Company contracts with third parties to provide additional office space in two locations. These
contracts require monthly payments totaling approximately $2,400 and have terms of less than six
months.
(13) Concentration of Credit Risk for Cash
The Company has concentrated our credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in financial
institutions, which may at times exceed the amounts covered by insurance provided by the United
States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). As of September 30, 2010, the Company has
$2,411,963 that is in excess of the deposit liabilities reported by the financial institution over
the amount that would have been covered by FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts and we believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash.

ITEM 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
As used herein, the terms we, us, our and the Company refer to CapTerra Financial
Group, Inc., a Colorado corporation, individually or together with its subsidiaries, including
NexCore Group LP, a Delaware limited partnership.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Any forward-looking
statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to
time, are based on beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
management. When used, the words anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend, may,
might, plan, project, result, should, will and similar expressions which do not relate
solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance,
which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond
our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated
or projected by the forward-looking statements. We caution you that while forward-looking
statements reflect our good-faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future
performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements.
Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based
on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements
include, among others, the following:
|
|
|
the continuing impact of the recent, severe economic recession (including the
related high unemployment), which is having and may continue to have a negative effect
on the following, among other things: |
|
|
|
the fundamentals of our business, including overall market occupancy and
rental rates; |
|
|
|
the financial condition of our tenants, our lenders and institutions that
hold our cash balances and short-term investments, which may expose us to increased
risks of default by these parties; |
|
|
|
our ability to obtain debt financing on attractive terms or at all, which
may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities
and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense; and |
|
|
|
the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to
dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured
by our properties or on an unsecured basis. |
|
|
|
general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without
limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants
financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of
real estate); |
|
|
|
failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets and
sub-markets or to integrate acquisitions and developments successfully; |
15
|
|
|
risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction
(including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain
necessary permits and public opposition to such activities); |
|
|
|
risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of
debt to fund acquisitions and developments, including the risk associated with interest
rates impacting the cost and/or availability of financing; |
|
|
|
risks associated with interest rate contracts and the effectiveness of such
arrangements; |
|
|
|
risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases
in interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets; |
|
|
|
risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks; |
|
|
|
costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar
laws; |
|
|
|
potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination; |
|
|
|
possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws; |
|
|
|
the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on our accounting policies
and on period-to-period comparisons of financial results; |
|
|
|
risks associated with possible state and local tax audits; |
|
|
|
risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service
is not guaranteed; and |
|
|
|
the other risk factors identified elsewhere in this report, including those
described under the caption Risk Factors. |
The risks set forth above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include
additional risks that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we
operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time
and it is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on
our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and
uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a
prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and Current Reports on Form 8-K as
we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time
through Forms 8-K or otherwise, for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
forward-looking statements. We disclaim any responsibility to update any forward-looking statements
to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or risks, new information, future events, or
otherwise, and you should not rely upon these forward-looking statements after the date of this
report.
Overview
On September 29, 2010, NexCore Group LP combined with CapTerra Financial Group, Inc., which we
believe will allow us to move our business platform forward.
16
NexCore Group LP was created in 2004 to solve real estate issues for hospitals and healthcare
systems through a national platform for the development, ownership and management of healthcare
real estate. The Company provides a full spectrum of strategy, development, acquisition,
ownership, financing, leasing, and asset and property management services. Our portfolio includes
nearly 2.6 million square feet and over $660 million of healthcare development and acquisition
projects.
We supply healthcare providers with a strategy-based approach that integrates and enhances medical
practice business plans and strategies. As owners and developers of healthcare real estate, we not
only present the best financial structure but also have the experience and expertise to manage the
physician office space. We look at the strategy first, and then wrap healthcare real estate around
it.
As the healthcare industry continues to look for innovative solutions to effectively manage their
capital resources while increasing capacity and services, we continue to expand our opportunities
to help healthcare providers across the country with their real estate and facilities requirements.
Management believes that the current environment in the healthcare industry provides significant
opportunities to substantially grow our business over the next several years.
In addition to adding $5 million of capital to the Company through the combination of NexCore Group
and CapTerra Financial Group, management believes that this transaction will increase our ability
to raise additional capital in the future to fund new projects to continue to grow our business.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to use judgment in the
application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or
interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different,
it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different
presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we evaluate our estimates and
assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results,
adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a
discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex
judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Pre-Development Costs
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-35, Revenue
Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, the Company has capitalized certain
costs related to prospective development projects. Such costs remain on the balance sheet until we
determine if they are going to proceed with the project. These costs include, but are not limited
to, legal fees, marketing, travel, architectural and engineering, due diligence and other expenses.
Once it is determined that a cost should be part of a project, they are recorded as a direct cost.
If it is deemed probable by management that a prospective project will not materialize, any related
costs are expensed and recorded as general and administrative expenses at the time of
determination.
Revenue Recognition
Development fees are recognized over the life of a development project on a percent complete basis
where the circumstances are such that total profit can be estimated with reasonable accuracy and
ultimate realization is reasonably assured. The Company records revenue and profit utilizing the
percentage of completion method using the input method which utilizes actual hours spent internally
on the project compared to the total forecasted hours to be spent on the project.
17
The Company sources tenants and negotiates leases for buildings it manages and in return is paid a
leasing commission. Leasing commission revenue is recognized based on each negotiated contract with
the building owner and is recognized as services are performed unless future contingencies exist.
Property management fees, tenant coordination fees and legal consultation fees are recognized
monthly as services are performed, unless future obligations exist. Acquisition and disposition
fees are recognized at the culmination of the purchase or sale of a building.
Certain contractual arrangements for services provide for the delivery of multiple services. The
Company evaluates revenue recognition for each service to be rendered under these arrangements
using criteria set forth in the ASC Subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements. For services
that meet the separability criteria, revenue is recognized separately. For services that do not
meet these criteria, revenue is recognized on a combined basis.
In addition, in regard to development service contracts, the owner of the property will typically
reimburse the Company for certain expenses that are incurred on behalf of the owner. The Company
bases the treatment of reimbursable expenses for financial reporting purposes upon the fee
structure of the underlying contract. Contracts are accounted for on a net basis when the fee
structure is comprised of at least two distinct elements, namely (i) a fixed management fee and
(ii) a separate component that allows for expenses to be billed directly to the client. When
accounting on a net basis, the Company includes the fixed management fee in reported revenue and
nets the reimbursement against expenses. The Company bases this accounting on the following
factors, which defines NexCore as an agent rather than a principal:
|
|
|
The property owner, with ultimate approval rights relating to the expenditures and
bearing all of the economic costs of such expenditures, is determined to be the primary
obligor in the arrangement; |
|
|
|
Because the property owner is contractually obligated to fund all operating costs of the
property from existing cash flow or direct funding from its building operating account, the
Company bears little or no credit risk; and |
|
|
|
The Company generally earns no margin in the reimbursement aspect of the arrangement,
obtaining reimbursement only for actual costs incurred. |
All of our service contracts are accounted for on a net basis. This treatment has no impact on
operating income, net income or cash flows.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. ASC 820 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and
liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped,
based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that
are observable for the asset or liability; or |
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Results of Operations
The following discussion involves our results of operations for the three and nine months ending
September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009. On September 29, 2010, NexCore Group LP combined with
CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition,
thus the historical operating results, cashflows and financial position presented in the
consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations are those of NexCore.
Our revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $4,400,015 compared to $642,725 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase in revenue is primarily due to our increased
development and leasing acivity during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Development fees and
leasing fees will tend to fluctuate from quarter to quarter with our development activity.
We had $80,105 of direct costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and $130,394 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Selling, general and administrative costs were $1,782,059 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010
compared to $989,556 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This increase is largely
attributable to increased activity and related variable compensation in the quarter ended September
30, 2010. While we continue to manage our expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses
will trend upward and downward with our development and leasing activity in any given quarter.
We had net income of $2,538,218 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of
$477,037 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $5,752,243 compared to $3,733,094
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in revenue is primarily due our
increased development and leasing acivity during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Development
fees and leasing fees will tend to fluctuate from quarter to quarter with our development activity.
We had $252,967 of direct costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $258,277 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009. Pre-development costs are expensed to direct costs at the
time the project is deemed unprobable. Pre-development costs are evaluated each quarter to
determine continuation probability.
Selling, general and administrative costs were $4,262,870 for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 compared to $3,045,375 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase is largely
attributable to increased activity and related variable compensation in the quarter ended
September 30, 2010. While we continue to manage our expenses, selling, general and administrative
expenses will trend upward and downward with our development and leasing activity in any given
quarter.
We had net income of $1,237,850 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $433,878
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $5,514,585 on September 30, 2010 compared to $2,250,837 on December
31, 2009.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1,351,766 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,254,521 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to our increased development
activity in the third quarter of 2010. Given the time involved in closing our development
projects, our cash flow from operations will fluctuate with our development activity.
19
Cash provided by investing activities was $1,411,982 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
and $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in cash provided by investing
activities was due to $5 million of cash from our business combination, net of $1 million of cash
we are required to keep restricted and $2,551,343 we invested in a joint venture.
Cash provided by financing activities was $500,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
compared to cash provided by financing activities of $-0- for the nine months ended September 30,
2009.
On June 25, 2010 the Company signed a revolving line of credit between BOCO and Nexcore Group LP
that provides for a maximum revolving commitment up to $2,000,000, expiring June 25, 2011.
Beginning August 1, 2010, monthly interest payments on outstanding advances must be made. The
promissory note bears an interest rate of 8%. The line is secured by substantially all assets of
NexCore. As of September 30, 2010, the principal balance due on this note was $500,000, leaving
availability of $1,500,000. Subsequent to the quarter, the line was paid down to a zero balance
leaving availability of the full $2,000,000. BOCO is a related party that owns approximately 32.8%
of our common stock. We believe the terms of this line are no more favorable to BOCO than we could
receive from an unrelated lender.
We have Senior Subordinated debt payable to GDBA and BOCO that matures on September 28, 2012. The
interest rate each of the notes is 0.46%. As of September 30, 2010, the outstanding principal
amount due on this note was $505,854 and $2,691,684 to GDBA and BOCO, respectively. In the event
the real estate held for sale is sold at amounts greater than book value, the excess gain would be
used to repay amounts previously forgiven. We intend to use the proceeds from the sale, if any, of
our real estate held for sale to pay down this note.
As of September 30, 2010, the we had one outstanding note originally issued under a facility with
United Western Bank. The principal balance is $3,941,716 as of September 30, 2010 and matures on
March 24, 2011. We intend to use the proceeds from the sale, if any, of our real estate held for
sale to pay down this note.
Any shortfall to be able to repay the Senior Subordinated debt and United Western Bank note from
the disposition of the real estate held for sale is covered under the Asset Indemnification
Agreement dated September 29, 2010 between CapTerra Financial Group, Inc and GDBA Investments, LLC
and BOCO Investments, LLC, which has been filed as an exhibit to this report.
On September 29, 2010 the Company executed a project completion guaranty in connection with a
construction loan agreement between US Bank and SCH MSB LLC, an unconsolidated variable interest
entity that was formed in connection with our Silvercross project. The guaranty agreement
unconditionally guarantees the lender the project will be completed, all costs will be paid, and
the property will be free and clear of all liens prior to the release of this guaranty.
Management continues to assess our capital resources in relation to our ability to fund operations
and new investments on an ongoing basis. As such, manangement may seek to access the capital
markets to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity, debt or a
combination of both in order to fund our operations and future growth. We believe our current and
qualified capital resources will be sufficient to operate in the ordinary course of our business
for at least the next twelve months. We will likely need to raise additional capital to fund our
current expansion plans. We may not be able to raise this expansion capital on acceptable terms or
at all.
ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period
covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
20
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We had significant changes
to our internal controls over financial reporting as a result of NexCore Group LPs business
combination with CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. on September 29, 2010. Primarily we had changes in
key personnel and changes in key policies and procedures as we integrate the results of this new
entity. We continue to develop controls and procedures and plans to implement additional controls
and procedures sufficient to accurately report our financial performance in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 1A Risk Factors.
Risks Related to Our Operations and Properties
We may not be profitable in the future.
We have completed only a limited number of transactions, so it is difficult for us to
accurately forecast our quarterly and annual revenue. However, we use our forecasted revenue to
establish our expense budget. Most of our expenses are fixed in the short term or incurred in
advance of anticipated revenue. As a result, we may not be able to decrease our expenses in a
timely manner to offset any revenue shortfall.
We will need additional capital in the future, but it may not be available to us on acceptable
terms or at all.
In order to continue our business, we will need additional capital. To date, we have been
successful in obtaining capital, but additional capital may not be available to us on acceptable
terms or at all. Because we have an ongoing need for capital, we may experience a lack of liquidity
in our future operations. We will need additional capital of some type, which we do not now
possess, to fully develop our business plan. We expect to rely principally upon our ability to
raise additional capital, the success of which cannot be guaranteed. To the extent that we
experience a substantial shortage of capital, our development may be delayed or indefinitely
postponed, which would seriously harm our operations.
We may not be able to manage our growth.
We hope to experience rapid growth which, if achieved, may stretch our managerial, operational
and financial systems. To accommodate our current size and manage growth, we must continue to
improve our financial and operational systems. We may not be able to effectively manage the
expansion of our operations. Our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support our
expanded operations. We may not be able to obtain facilities to support our growth. Our inability
to effectively manage our future growth may harm our results of operations.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a
variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including: the demand for our
services and properties; the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to
the development of our properties; price competition or pricing changes in the industry; technical
or regulatory difficulties; general economic conditions; and economic conditions specific to the
healthcare industry. Our quarterly results may also be significantly impacted by the accounting
treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Particularly at our early stage
of development, such accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any
quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that our operating results will
fall below our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.
21
Adverse macroeconomic and business conditions may significantly harm our revenues,
profitability and results of operations.
The United States has undergone and may continue to experience a prolonged recession that has
been marked by pervasive and fundamental disruptions in the financial markets. Continued concerns
regarding the uncertainty of whether the U.S. economy will be adversely affected by inflation,
deflation or stagflation and the systemic impact of increased unemployment, volatile energy costs,
geopolitical issues, sovereign debt, currency fluctuations, the availability and cost of credit,
the U.S. mortgage market and a severely distressed real estate market have contributed to increased
market volatility and weakened business and consumer confidence. The United States may not
experience a sustained recovery and could suffer pronounced instability and decreased economic
activity for an extended period of time. Our operations are sensitive to changes in overall
economic conditions that impact our tenants, including, among other things, increased bad debts due
to such recessionary pressures. A general reduction in the level of tenant leasing or shifts in
tenant leasing practices could harm our revenues, profitability and results of operations.
It is difficult to determine the breadth and duration of the financial market problems and the
many ways in which they may affect our tenants and our business in general. Nonetheless,
continuation or further worsening of these difficult financial and macroeconomic conditions could
have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Adverse economic or other conditions in the geographic markets in which we conduct business
could harm our occupancy levels and rental rates and therefore our operating results.
Our operating results depend upon our ability to pre-lease and lease our projects. Adverse
economic or other conditions in the geographic markets in which we operate, including periods of
economic slowdown or recession, industry slowdowns, periods of deflation, relocation of businesses,
changing demographics, earthquakes and other natural disasters, fires, terrorist acts, civil
disturbances or acts of war and other man-made disasters which may result in uninsured or
underinsured losses, and changes in tax, real estate, zoning and other laws and regulations, may
lower our occupancy levels and limit our ability to increase rents or require us to offer rental
concessions.
Our real estate investments are concentrated in medical office buildings, making us more
vulnerable economically than if our investments were diversified.
Our business plan is dedicated to all aspects of real estate within the healthcare industry.
We will acquire, own, manage, operate and develop and re-develop medical office buildings. We are
subject to risks inherent in concentrated investments in real estate, and the risks resulting from
a lack of diversification become even greater as a result of our business strategy to concentrate
our investments in the medical office building sector. Any adverse effects that result from these
risks could be more pronounced than if we diversified our investments outside of medical office
buildings. Given our concentration in this sector, our tenant base is especially concentrated and
dependent upon the healthcare industry generally, and any industry downturn could harm the ability
of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to maintain current rental and occupancy
rates. Accordingly, a downturn in the healthcare industry generally, or in the medical office
buildings sector specifically, could harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations and the trading price of our common stock.
22
We may be unable to successfully expand our operations into new markets.
We intend to explore acquisitions or developments of properties in new geographic markets. We
may not possess familiarity with the dynamics and prevailing conditions of any new geographic
markets which could harm our ability to expand into or operate within those markets. For example,
new markets may have different insurance practices, reimbursement rates and local real estate,
zoning and development regulations than those with which we are familiar. We may find ourselves
more dependent on third parties in new markets because our distance could hinder our ability to
directly and efficiently manage and otherwise monitor new properties in new markets. Our expansion
into new markets could result in unexpected costs or delays as well as lower occupancy rates and
other adverse consequences. If we are unsuccessful in expanding into new markets, it could harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
Our medical office buildings, the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our
medical office buildings are strategically aligned and our tenants may be unable to compete
successfully.
Our medical office buildings and the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our
medical office buildings are strategically aligned often face competition from nearby hospitals and
other medical office buildings that provide comparable services. Any of our properties may be
seriously harmed if the healthcare delivery system with which it is strategically aligned is unable
to compete successfully. There are numerous factors that determine the ability of a healthcare
delivery system to compete successfully, most of which are outside of our control.
Similarly, our tenants face competition from other medical practices and service providers at
nearby hospitals and other medical office buildings. From time to time and for reasons beyond our
control, managed care organizations may change their lists of preferred hospitals or in-network
physicians. Physicians also may change hospital affiliations. If competitors of our tenants or
competitors of the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our medical office buildings
are strategically aligned have greater geographic coverage, improve access and convenience to
physicians and patients, provide or are perceived to provide higher quality services, recruit
physicians to provide competing services at their facilities, expand or improve their services or
obtain more favorable managed care contracts, our tenants may not be able to successfully compete.
Any reduction in rental revenues resulting from the inability of our medical office buildings, the
associated healthcare delivery systems with which our medical office buildings are strategically
aligned or our tenants to compete in providing medical services and/or receiving sufficient rates
of reimbursement for healthcare services rendered could harm our business, financial condition and
results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
We may not realize the benefits that we anticipate from focusing on medical office buildings
that are strategically aligned with a healthcare delivery system and from the relationships
established through such strategic alignments.
As part of our business strategy, we focus on medical office buildings that are strategically
aligned with a healthcare delivery system by (i) seeking to acquire, own, manage, develop and
re-develop medical office buildings that are located on medical campuses where the underlying land
is owned by a healthcare delivery system or by us, or (ii) seeking to acquire, own, manage, develop
and re-develop medical office buildings located in close proximity to a healthcare delivery system
and strategically aligned with healthcare delivery system through leasing or other arrangements. We
may not realize the benefits that we anticipate as a result of these strategic relationships. In
particular, we may not obtain or realize increased rents, long-term tenants, or reduced tenant
turnover rates as compared to medical office buildings that are not strategically aligned.
Moreover, building a portfolio of medical office buildings that are strategically aligned does not
assure the success of any given property. The associated healthcare delivery system may not be
successful and the strategic alignment that we seek for our medical office buildings could
dissolve, and we may not succeed in replacing them. If we do not realize the benefits that we
anticipate from this focus and those strategic alignments dissolve and we are not successful in
replacing them, our reputation, business, financial results and prospects may be harmed.
23
Our investments in development and re-development projects may not yield anticipated returns
which could harm our operating results.
A key component of our business plan is new-asset development and re-development
opportunities. To the extent that we successfully identify and consummate these development and
re-development opportunities, our investment in these projects will be subject to the following
risks:
|
|
|
we may be unable to obtain ongoing financing sources for these projects on
favorable terms or at all; |
|
|
|
we may not complete development or re-development projects on schedule or
within budgeted amounts; and |
|
|
|
we may encounter delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary zoning, land
use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations. |
In deciding whether to develop or re-develop a particular property, we make assumptions
regarding the expected future performance of that property. We may underestimate the costs
necessary to rehabilitate the property for its intended market position, or we may be unable to
increase occupancy at a newly-acquired property as quickly as expected or at all. Any substantial
unanticipated delays or expenses could harm the investment returns from these development or
re-development projects and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and
the trading price of our common stock. We may also experience accidents when developing or
re-developing properties, including accidents that result in substantial damage to property and
even loss of life. These accidents could subject us to significant financial hardship, prolonged
litigation and damage to our reputation.
If our investments in development and re-development projects do not yield anticipated returns
for any reason, including those set forth above, our business, financial condition and results of
operations and the trading price of our common stock may be harmed.
We may not be successful in identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions or development
opportunities in our existing or new geographic markets, which may impede our growth.
Our ability to expand through acquisitions and development opportunities is integral to our
business strategy and requires that we identify suitable acquisition candidates or development
opportunities which meet our criteria and are compatible with our growth strategy. We may not be
successful in identifying suitable properties or other assets which meet our acquisition or
development criteria or in consummating acquisitions or developments on satisfactory terms or at
all for a number of reasons, including, among other things, unsatisfactory results of our due
diligence investigations, failure to obtain financing for the acquisition or development on
favorable terms or at all, and our misjudgment of the value of the opportunities.
We may face increasing competition for the acquisition and development of medical office
buildings which may impede our ability to make future acquisitions or may increase the cost of
these acquisitions.
We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for
acquisitions and development of medical office buildings, including national, regional and local
operators, acquirers and developers of healthcare-related real estate properties. The competition
for healthcare-related real estate properties may significantly increase the price that we must pay
for medical office buildings or other assets that we seek to acquire on the yield we can obtain on
new development projects, and our competitors may succeed in acquiring or developing those
properties or assets themselves. In addition, our potential acquisition targets or hospital system
development clients may find our competitors to be more attractive because they may have greater
resources, may be willing to pay more for the properties or may have a more compatible operating
philosophy. In particular, larger REITs targeting medical office buildings may enjoy significant
competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital, enhanced
operating efficiencies and familiarity with markets. In addition, the number of entities and the
amount of funds competing for suitable investment properties may increase. This competition will
result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them. Those
higher prices for medical office buildings or other assets may adversely affect our returns from
our investments.
24
We may not be successful in integrating and operating acquired or newly-developed medical
office buildings in the future.
We expect to make future acquisitions and developments of medical office buildings. If we
acquire or develop medical office buildings, we will be required to operate and integrate them into
our existing operations. While we believe that our infrastructure is highly scalable, our systems
and processes may not be able to efficiently handle the anticipated growth in our operations. We
may not have the requisite resources and skilled personnel necessary to successfully operate and
integrate acquired or newly developed medical office buildings into our existing portfolio in the
future, and we may need to incur substantial unanticipated costs to meet our operating needs.
In addition, any medical office buildings that we acquire or develop in the future may be less
compatible with our growth strategy than we originally anticipated, may cause disruptions in our
operations or may divert managements attention away from daily operations, any or all of which may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the
trading price of our common stock.
Our future investments in joint ventures could be harmed by our lack of decision-making
authority, our reliance upon our joint venture partners financial condition, any disputes that may
arise between us and our joint venture partners and our exposure to potential losses from the
actions of our joint venture partners.
We anticipate that we will co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures
or other entities, acquiring noncontrolling interests in or sharing responsibility for the
management of the affairs of a property, partnership, joint venture or other entity. Joint ventures
generally involve risks not present with respect to our wholly-owned properties, including the
following:
|
|
|
our joint venture partners may make management, financial and operating
decisions with which we disagree or that are not in our best interest; |
|
|
|
we may be prevented from taking actions that are opposed by our joint venture
partners; |
|
|
|
our ability to transfer our interest in a joint venture to a third party may be
restricted; |
|
|
|
our joint venture partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of
required capital contributions which may delay construction or development of a medical
office building or increase our financial commitment to the joint venture; |
|
|
|
our joint venture partners may have business interests or goals with respect to
the medical office building that conflict with our business interests and goals which
could increase the likelihood of disputes regarding the ownership, management or
disposition of the medical office building; |
|
|
|
disputes may develop with our joint venture partners over decisions affecting
the medical office building or the joint venture which may result in litigation or
arbitration that would increase our expenses and distract our officers and/or directors
from focusing their time and effort on our business and possibly disrupt the daily
operations of the medical office building; and |
|
|
|
we may suffer losses as a result of the actions of our joint venture partners
with respect to our joint venture investments. |
25
We will develop and acquire medical office buildings subject to ground or air space leases
that will expose us to the loss of such buildings upon a breach or termination of the ground or air
space leases.
We will develop and acquire medical office buildings through leasehold interests in the land
or air space underlying the buildings. Our ground or air space leases do and will in the future
contain restrictions on use and transfer, such as limiting the assignment or subletting of the
medical office buildings only to practicing physicians or physicians in good standing with an
affiliated hospital. The use and transfer restrictions in our ground and air space leases may limit
our ability to sell our buildings which, in turn, could harm the price realized from any such sale.
Additionally, our ground and air space leases generally grant the lessor rights of purchase and
rights of first offer and refusal in the event that we elect to sell the medical office buildings
associated with the ground lease. As lessee under a ground or air space lease, we are also exposed
to the possibility of losing the medical office building upon termination, or an earlier breach by
us, of the lease, which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and
the trading price of our common stock.
We may not be able to control our operating costs or our expenses may remain constant or
increase, even if our revenue does not increase, which could harm our results of operations.
Factors that may harm our ability to control operating costs include the need to pay for
insurance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes, which could increase over time,
the need periodically to repair, renovate and re-let space, the cost of compliance with
governmental regulation, including zoning and tax laws, the potential for liability under
applicable laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. If our operating costs
increase as a result of any of the foregoing factors, our results of operations may be adversely
affected.
The expense of owning and operating a medical office building is not necessarily reduced when
circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property.
As a result, if revenue declines, we may not be able to reduce our expenses accordingly. Certain
costs associated with real estate investments may not be reduced even if a medical office building
is not fully occupied or other circumstances cause our revenues to decrease. If a medical office
building is mortgaged and we are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose
on the mortgage and take possession of the medical office building, resulting in a further
reduction in net income.
Uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage could harm our financial
condition and our cash flows.
We maintain comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake, wind (as deemed necessary or as
required by our lenders), extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to our
properties. Certain types of losses, however, may be either uninsurable or not economically
insurable, such as losses due to earthquakes, riots, acts of war or terrorism. Should an uninsured
loss occur, we could lose both our investment in and anticipated profits and cash flows from a
medical office building. If any such loss is insured, we may be required to pay a significant
deductible on any claim for recovery of such a loss prior to our insurer being obligated to
reimburse us for the loss, or the amount of the loss may exceed our coverage for the loss. In
addition, future lenders may require such insurance, and our failure to obtain such insurance could
constitute a default under loan agreements. We may determine not to insure some or all of our
properties at levels considered customary in our industry and which would expose us to an increased
risk of loss. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the
trading price of our common stock may be harmed.
If any of our insurance carriers become insolvent, we could be harmed.
We carry several different lines of insurance which are placed with several reputable
insurance carriers. If any one of these insurance carriers were to become insolvent, we would be
forced to replace the existing insurance coverage with another suitable carrier, and any
outstanding claims would be at risk for collection. In such an event, we may not be able to realize
proceeds from our insurance policies with respect to any claims that we have or replace the
coverage at similar or otherwise favorable terms. Replacing insurance coverage at unfavorable rates
and the potential for uncollectible claims due to carrier insolvency could harm our results of
operations and cash flows.
26
Environmental compliance costs and liabilities associated with owning, leasing, developing and
operating our properties may harm our results of operations.
Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, current and
prior owners and operators of real estate may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of
investigating, remediating and monitoring certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials
on or in such property. In addition to these costs, the past or present owner or operator of a
property from which a release emanates could be liable for any personal injury or property damage
that results from such releases, including for the unauthorized release of asbestos-containing
materials and other hazardous substances into the air, as well as any damages to natural resources
or the environment that arise from such releases. These environmental laws often impose such
liability without regard to whether the current or prior owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence or release of such substances or materials. Moreover, the release of
hazardous substances or materials, or the failure to properly remediate such substances or
materials, may adversely affect the owners or operators ability to lease, sell, develop or rent
such property or to borrow by using such property as collateral. Persons who transport or arrange
for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility,
regardless of whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person.
Certain environmental laws impose compliance obligations on owners and operators of real
property with respect to the management of hazardous substances and other regulated materials. For
example, environmental laws govern the management and removal of asbestos-containing materials and
lead-based paint. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties or other sanctions. If
we incur substantial costs to comply with these environmental laws or we are held liable under
these laws, our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of
our common stock may be harmed.
Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry
Recent healthcare reform legislation may affect our revenue and financial condition.
In March 2010, the President signed into law PPACA, which will change how healthcare services
are covered, delivered and reimbursed through expanded coverage of uninsured individuals and
reduced Medicare program spending. In addition, the new law reforms certain aspects of health
insurance, expands existing efforts to tie Medicare and Medicaid payments to performance and
quality and contains provisions intended to strengthen fraud and abuse enforcement. The
complexities and ramifications of PPACA are significant and will be implemented in a phased
approach beginning in 2010. At this time, it is difficult to predict the full effects of PPACA and
its impact on our business, our revenues and financial condition and those of our tenants due to
the laws complexity, lack of implementing regulations or interpretive guidance, gradual
implementation and possible amendment. Further, we are unable to foresee how individuals and
businesses will respond to the choices afforded them by PPACA. PPACA could adversely affect the
reimbursement rates received by our tenants, the financial success of our tenants and strategic
partners and consequently us.
Adverse trends in healthcare provider operations may negatively affect our lease revenues and
our results of operations.
The healthcare industry is currently experiencing, among other things:
|
|
|
changes in the demand for and methods of delivering healthcare services; |
|
|
|
changes in third party reimbursement methods and policies; |
|
|
|
consolidation and pressure to integrate within the healthcare industry through
acquisitions and joint ventures; and |
|
|
|
increased scrutiny of billing, referral and other practices by U.S. federal and
state authorities. |
27
These factors may harm the economic performance of some or all of our tenants and, in turn,
our lease revenues, which may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations and the trading price of our common stock.
Reductions in reimbursement from third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could
harm the profitability of our tenants and hinder their ability to make rent payments to us or renew
their lease.
Sources of revenue for our tenants typically include the U.S. federal Medicare program, state
Medicaid programs, private insurance payors and health maintenance organizations. Healthcare
providers continue to face increased government and private payor pressure to control or reduce
healthcare costs and significant reductions in healthcare reimbursement, including reduced
reimbursements and changes to payment methodologies under PPACA. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid
Services, or CMS, estimates the reductions required by PPACA over the next ten years will include
$233 billion in cuts to Medicare fee-for-service payments, the majority of which will come from
hospitals, and that some hospitals will become insolvent as a result of the reductions. In some
cases, private insurers rely upon all or portions of the Medicare payment systems to determine
payment rates which may result in decreased reimbursement from private insurers. PPACA will likely
increase enrollment in plans offered by private insurers who choose to participate in state-run
exchanges, but PPACA also imposes new requirements for the health insurance industry, including
prohibitions upon excluding individuals based upon pre-existing conditions which may increase
private insurer costs and, thereby, cause private insurers to reduce their payment rates to
providers.
The slowdown in the United States economy has negatively affected state budgets, thereby
putting pressure on states to decrease spending on state programs including Medicaid. The need to
control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in state
Medicaid programs due to unemployment and declines in family incomes. Historically, states have
often attempted to reduce Medicaid spending by limiting benefits and tightening Medicaid
eligibility requirements. Many states have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, legislation
designed to enroll Medicaid recipients in managed care programs and/or impose additional taxes on
hospitals to help finance or expand the states Medicaid systems. Potential reductions to Medicaid
program spending in response to state budgetary pressures could negatively impact the ability of
our tenants to successfully operate their businesses.
Efforts by payors to reduce healthcare costs will likely continue which may result in
reductions or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of our tenants.
A reduction in reimbursements to our tenants from third-party payors for any reason could harm our
tenants ability to make rent payments to us which may seriously harm our businesses, financial
condition and results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated, and new laws or regulations, changes to existing
laws or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could harm our company and
result in the inability of our tenants to make rent payments to us.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by U.S. federal, state and local governmental
authorities. Our tenants generally will be subject to laws and regulations covering, among other
things, licensure, certification for participation in government programs, billing for services,
privacy and security of health information and relationships with physicians and other referral
sources. In addition, new laws and regulations, changes in existing laws and regulations or changes
in the interpretation of such laws or regulations could harm our financial condition and the
financial condition of our tenants. These changes, in some cases, could apply retroactively. The
enactment, timing or effect of legislative or regulatory changes cannot be predicted.
28
Many states also regulate the construction of healthcare facilities, the expansion of
healthcare facilities, the construction or expansion of certain services, including by way of
example specific bed types and medical equipment, as well as certain capital expenditures through
certificate of need, or CON, laws. Under such laws, the applicable state regulatory body must
determine a need exists for a project before the project can be undertaken. If one of our tenants
seeks to undertake a CON-regulated project, but is not authorized by the applicable regulatory body
to proceed with the project, the tenant would be prevented from operating in its intended manner.
Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm us directly and our tenants
ability to make rent payments to us which may harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations and the trading price of our common stock.
Our tenants and our company are subject to fraud and abuse laws, the violation of which by a
tenant may jeopardize the tenants ability to make rent payments to us.
There are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices
by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from or are in a position to make
referrals in connection with government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and
Medicaid programs. Our lease arrangements with certain tenants may also be subject to these fraud
and abuse laws.
These laws include without limitation:
|
|
|
the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, the
offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or
to induce, the referral of any federal or state healthcare program patients; |
|
|
|
the Federal Physician Self-Referral Prohibition (commonly called the Stark
Law), which, subject to specific exceptions, restricts physicians who have financial
relationships with healthcare providers from making referrals for designated health
services for which payment may be made under Medicare or Medicaid programs to an entity
with which the physician, or an immediate family member, has a financial relationship; |
|
|
|
the False Claims Act, which prohibits any person from knowingly presenting
false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government, including under the
Medicare and Medicaid programs; |
|
|
|
the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which authorizes the Department of Health and
Human Services to impose monetary penalties for certain fraudulent acts; and |
|
|
|
state anti-kickback, anti-inducement, anti-referral and insurance fraud laws
which may be generally similar to, and potentially more expansive than, the federal
laws set forth above. |
Violations of these laws may result in criminal and/or civil penalties that range from
punitive sanctions, damage assessments, penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid
payments and/or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, PPACA clarifies
that the submission of claims for items or services generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback
Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the False Claims Act. The federal government
has taken the position, and some courts have held, that violations of other laws, such as the Stark
Law, can also be a violation of the False Claims Act. Additionally, certain laws, such as the False
Claims Act, allow for individuals to bring whistleblower actions on behalf of the government for
violations thereof. Imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenants or strategic
partners could jeopardize that tenants ability to operate or to make rent payments or affect the
level of occupancy in our medical office buildings, which may seriously harm our business,
financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our
shareholders and the trading price of our common stock. Further, we enter into leases and other
financial relationships with healthcare delivery systems that are subject to or impacted by these
laws. We also have other investors who are healthcare providers in certain of our subsidiaries that
own our medical office buildings. If any of our relationships, including those related to the other
investors in our subsidiaries, are found not to comply with these laws, we and our physician
investors may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties.
29
Our healthcare-related tenants may be subject to significant legal actions that could subject
them to increased operating costs and substantial uninsured liabilities, which may harm their
ability to pay their rent payments to us, and we could be subject to healthcare industry
violations.
As is typical in the healthcare industry, our tenants may become subject to claims that their
services have resulted in patient injury or other adverse effects. Many of these tenants may have
experienced an increasing trend in the frequency and severity of professional liability and general
liability insurance claims and litigation asserted against them. The insurance coverage maintained
by these tenants may not cover all claims made against them nor continue to be available at a
reasonable cost, if at all. In some states, insurance coverage for the risk of punitive damages
arising from professional liability and general liability claims and/or litigation may not, in
certain cases, be available to these tenants due to state law prohibitions or limitations of
availability. As a result, these types of tenants of our medical office buildings and
healthcare-related facilities operating in these states may be liable for punitive damage awards
that are either not covered or are in excess of their insurance policy limits.
We also believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental
investigations of certain healthcare providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false
claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations.
Insurance is not available to cover such losses. Any adverse determination in a legal proceeding or
governmental investigation, any settlements of such proceedings or investigations in excess of
insurance coverage, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material
adverse effect on a tenants financial condition. If a tenant is unable to obtain or maintain
insurance coverage, if judgments are obtained or settlements reached in excess of the insurance
coverage, if a tenant is required to pay uninsured punitive damages, or if a tenant is subject to
an uninsurable government enforcement action or investigation, the tenant could be exposed to
substantial additional liabilities, which may affect the tenants ability to pay rent, which in
turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations, our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders and the trading price of our
common stock. We could also be subject to costly government investigations or other enforcement
actions which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and
the trading price of our common stock.
Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry
Our operating performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry.
Real estate investments are subject to various risks and cycles in value and demand, many of
which are beyond our control. Certain events may harm our operating results as well as the value of
our properties. These events include:
|
|
|
vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms, including possible
market pressures to offer tenants rent abatements, tenant improvements, early
termination rights or tenant-favorable renewal options; |
|
|
|
inability to collect rent from tenants; |
|
|
|
competition from other real estate investors with significant capital,
including other real estate operating companies, REITs and institutional investment
funds; |
|
|
|
reductions in the level of demand for medical office buildings and changes in
the demand for certain healthcare-related properties; |
|
|
|
increases in the supply of medical office space; |
30
|
|
|
increases in expenses associated with our real estate operations, including
insurance costs, third party management fees, energy prices, real estate assessments
and other taxes and costs of compliance with laws, regulations and governmental
policies, and restrictions on our ability to pass such expenses on to our tenants; and |
|
|
|
changes in, and changes in enforcement of, laws, regulations and governmental
policies associated with real estate, including, without limitation, health, safety,
environmental, zoning and tax laws, governmental fiscal policies and the ADA. |
In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, such as the recent U.S. economic
downturn, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that
any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence
of defaults under existing leases. If we cannot operate our properties to meet our financial
expectations, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share
trading price of our common stock and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be
harmed.
Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to
adverse changes in the performance of our properties.
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or
more of our properties in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is
limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions,
availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are
beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any of our properties for the
price or on the terms set by us or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective
purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a
willing purchaser and to close the sale of our properties. We may be required to expend funds to
correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We may not have funds
available to correct those defects or to make those improvements.
In acquiring a property, we may agree to transfer restrictions that materially restrict us
from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation
on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These transfer restrictions
would impede our ability to sell a property even if we deem it necessary or appropriate. These
facts and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance
of our properties may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or trading
price of our common stock.
Uncertain market conditions could cause us to sell our medical office buildings at a loss in
the future.
We intend to hold our various real estate investments until we determine that a sale or other
disposition appears to be advantageous to our investment objectives. Our senior management team and
our board of directors may exercise their discretion as to whether and when to sell a medical
office building, and we will have no obligation to sell our buildings at any particular time. We
generally intend to hold our medical office buildings for an extended period of time, and we cannot
predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any
particular time in the future. Because of the uncertainty of market conditions, we may not be able
to sell our buildings at a profit in the future or at all. We may incur prepayment penalties in the
event that we sell a property subject to a mortgage earlier than we otherwise had planned.
Additionally, we could be forced to sell medical office buildings at inopportune times which could
result in us selling the affected building at a substantial loss. Accordingly, the extent to which
you will receive a return on our real estate investments will, among other things, depend upon
fluctuating market conditions. Any inability to sell a medical office building could harm our
ability to make debt payments.
31
Our assets may be subject to impairment charges.
We will periodically evaluate our real estate investments and other assets for impairment
indicators. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based upon factors
such as market conditions, tenant performance and legal structure. For example, the termination of
a lease by a major tenant may lead to an impairment charge. If we determine that an impairment has
occurred, we would be required to make an adjustment to the net carrying value of the asset which
could harm our results of operations in the period in which the impairment charge is recorded.
We could become highly leveraged in the future because our organizational documents contain no
limitations on the amount of debt that we may incur.
Our organizational documents contain no limitations on the amount of indebtedness that we or
our Operating Partnership may incur. We could alter the balance between our total outstanding
indebtedness and the value of our properties at any time. If we become more highly leveraged, the
resulting increase in outstanding debt could harm our ability to make debt service payments. The
occurrence of any of the foregoing risks could harm our business, financial condition and results
of operations, and the trading price of our common stock.
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may harm our results of operations.
In certain cases, we may seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using
interest rate hedging arrangements. Hedging involves risks, such as the risk that the counterparty
may fail to honor its obligations under an arrangement, that the arrangements may not be effective
in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes and that a court could rule that such an
agreement is not legally enforceable.
Our ability to sell equity to expand our business will depend, in part, upon the market price
of our common stock. Our failure to meet market expectations with respect to our business could
harm the market price of our common stock and thereby limit our ability to sell equity.
The availability of equity capital to us will depend, in part, upon the market price of our
common stock which, in turn, will depend upon various market conditions and other factors that may
change from time to time, including:
|
|
|
the extent of investor interest; |
|
|
|
the general reputation of healthcare real estate sector and the attractiveness
of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including
securities issued by other real estate-based companies; |
|
|
|
our financial performance and that of our tenants; |
|
|
|
general stock and bond market conditions, including changes in interest rates
on fixed income securities, which may lead prospective purchasers of our common stock
to demand a higher annual yield from future distributions; |
Our failure to meet the markets expectation with regard to future earnings and cash
distributions would likely harm the market price of our common stock and, as a result, the cost and
availability of equity capital to us.
The current limitations on the availability of credit may limit our ability to refinance our
debt obligations in the short-term and may limit our access to liquidity.
Given the current economic conditions including the current limitations on the availability of
credit and related adverse conditions in the U.S. financial markets, we may be unable to refinance
our debt obligations on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to refinance our debt
obligations prior to their maturity date, then we may be forced to seek liquidity through a variety
of options, including the sale of properties at below market prices. If we default on one or more
of these obligations, it may result in additional defaults under our other obligations.
Furthermore, we could also potentially lose access to the liquidity that we expect to have under a
secured credit facility if one or more participating lenders default on their commitments.
32
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
Our board of directors has the power to cause us to issue additional shares of our stock
without shareholder approval.
Our charter authorizes our board of directors to cause us to issue additional shares of common
stock or preferred stock without shareholder approval. Our board of directors could cause us to
issue additional shares of our common stock or establish a series of preferred stock, or we may, as
general partner, issue additional operating partnership units, any of which could have the effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or other transaction that might involve a
premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders.
The ownership of our common stock is highly concentrated, which may prevent or deter changes
in management or third-party acquisition proposals that you may believe to be in your best
interest.
The ownership of our common stock is highly concentrated. 81.8% of our common stock is
controlled by (i) a voting trust that is controlled by our president and CEO, Gregory C. Venn, and
our chief investment officer, Peter Kloepfer, (ii) GDBA and (iii) BOCO. This means these three
entities have absolute control over any matter that is presented to our shareholders for a vote,
including acquisition proposals. This may delay or prevent a change of control or other
transaction in which you might receive a premium for your shares or which you might otherwise
believe is in your best interests.
We depend on key personnel, the loss of any one of whom may threaten our ability to operate
our business successfully.
We depend on the services of Gregory C. Venn, Peter Kloepfer, Robert Gross and James Creamer
to carry out our business and investment strategy. If we were to lose any of these executive
officers, it may be more difficult for us to locate attractive acquisition targets, complete our
acquisitions and manage the facilities that we have acquired or developed. Additionally, as we
expand, we will need to attract and retain additional qualified officers and employees. The loss of
the services of any of our executive officers, or our inability to recruit and retain qualified
personnel in the future, could seriously harm our business and financial results.
Our structure may result in conflicts of interest between our shareholders and the holders of
our operating partnership units.
We hold our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through an operating
limited partnership, and may issue operating partnership units to third parties. Persons holding
operating partnership units would have the right to vote on certain amendments to the partnership
agreement of our operating partnership, as well as on certain other matters. Persons holding these
voting rights may exercise them in a manner that conflicts with the interests of our shareholders.
Circumstances may arise in the future, such as the sale or refinancing of one of our facilities,
when the interests of limited partners in our operating partnership conflict with the interests of
our shareholders. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, CapTerra has fiduciary
duties to the limited partners of the operating partnership that may conflict with fiduciary duties
its officers and directors owe to its shareholders. These conflicts may result in decisions that
are not in the best interest of our shareholders.
We may change our business, investment and financing strategies without shareholder approval.
We may change our business, investment and financing strategies without a vote of, or notice
to, our shareholders, which could result in our making investments and engaging in business
activities that are different from, and possibly riskier than, the investments and businesses
described in this prospectus. In particular, a change in our investment strategy, including the
manner in which we allocate our resources across our portfolio or the types of assets in which we
seek to invest, may increase our exposure to real estate market fluctuations. In addition, we may
in the future increase the use of leverage at times and in amounts that we, in our discretion, deem
prudent, and such decision would not be subject to shareholder approval. Furthermore, our board of
directors may determine that medical office buildings do not offer the potential for attractive
risk-adjusted returns for an investment strategy. Changes to our strategies with regards to the
foregoing could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to
make distributions to our shareholders.
33
Our shareholders claims will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our operating
partnership.
We will conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating partnership and,
apart from our ownership interest in our operating partnership, we will not have any substantive
independent operations. As a result, shareholders claims will be structurally subordinated to all
existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for borrowed money) of our
operating partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation
or reorganization, claims of our shareholders will be satisfied only after all of our and our
operating partnerships and its subsidiaries liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.
Compensation awards to our management may not correlate to or correspond with our financial
results or share price.
The compensation committee of our board of directors will be responsible for overseeing our
compensation and employee benefit plans and practices, including our incentive compensation and
equity-based compensation plans. Our compensation committee will have significant discretion in
structuring compensation packages and may make compensation decisions based upon any number of
factors. As a result, compensation awards may not correlate to or correspond with our financial
results or the share price of our common stock. We may give bonuses, grant equity awards and
otherwise highly compensate our management even if we are performing poorly.
Risks Related to an Investment in our Common Stock
Our stock price may be volatile and the market for our shares is illiquid. You may not be
able to sell your shares at the time or price you chose.
There has been, and continues to be, a limited public market for our common stock. Our common
stock trades on the NASD Bulletin Board under the trading symbol CPTA.OB. However, an active
trading market for our shares has not, and may never develop or be sustained. If you purchase our
common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the price you paid. The market
price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of
which are beyond our control, including:
|
|
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
|
|
|
changes in our earnings estimates or publication of research reports about us
or the real estate industry; |
|
|
|
changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
|
|
|
adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future; |
|
|
|
additions or departures of key management personnel; |
|
|
|
actions by institutional shareholders; |
34
|
|
|
local conditions such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for,
rehabilitation hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers,
medical office buildings, specialty hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, regional and
community hospitals, womens and childrens hospitals and other single-discipline
facilities; |
|
|
|
speculation in the press or investment community; and |
|
|
|
general market and economic conditions. |
You may not be able to liquidate your investment without considerable delay, if at all. The
relatively low price of our common stock may keep many brokerage firms from executing transactions
in our common stock.
Future sales of common stock may harm our stock price.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of common stock, or the availability of
shares for future sales, on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of
common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, may harm prevailing market prices for
our common stock. We may issue from time to time additional common stock or units of our operating
partnership in connection with the acquisition of facilities and we may grant additional demand or
piggyback registration rights in connection with these issuances. Sales of substantial amounts of
common stock or the perception that these sales could occur may harm the prevailing market price
for our common stock. In addition, the sale of these shares could impair our ability to raise
capital through a sale of additional equity securities.
Buying a low-priced, penny stock like ours is risky and speculative.
Our shares qualify as a penny stock under SEC rules. These SEC rules generally impose
additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to
persons who are not high net worth investors, or in transactions not recommended by the
broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a
suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement prior to
the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make mandated disclosures in penny stock
transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the
compensation to be received by the broker-dealer, and deliver disclosures required by the SEC.
Consequently, the penny stock rules may discourage broker-dealers from making a market in or
trading our common stock and may also affect your ability to sell your shares in the public
markets.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay
any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that we may
realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.
