Table of Contents

This Annual Report on Form 10-K is for the year ended December 31, 2004. This Annual Report modifies and supersedes documents filed prior to this Annual Report. Information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Annual Report. In this Annual Report, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Trust” refer to Universal Health Realty Income Trust.

 

You should carefully review the information contained in this Annual Report, and should particularly consider any risk factors that we set forth in this Annual Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. In this Annual Report, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify those so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined below. Those factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our forward-looking statements.

 

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated limited liability companies in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%. We currently account for our share of the income/loss from these investments by the equity method (see Note 9). As of December 31, 2004, we had investments or commitments in twenty-two limited liability companies (“LLCs”), nineteen of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are consolidated in the results of operations as of April 1, 2004. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are the primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we began consolidating the results of operations of these three LLC investments. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

 

Risks Affecting Future Operations

 

Factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our forward-looking statements presented in this Annual Report include, but are not limited to:

 

    a substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, Universal Health Services, Inc., (“UHS”);

 

    UHS is our Advisor and our officers are all employees of UHS which may create the potential for conflicts of interest;

 

    a substantial portion of our leases are involved in the healthcare industry which continues to undergo change and is subject to possible changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement from third-party payors and government reimbursement programs, including Medicare and Medicaid;

 

    we cannot predict whether leases on our properties, including leases on the properties leased to subsidiaries of UHS, which have options to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease renewal terms at the appraised fair market value, will be renewed at their current rates at the end of the lease terms. If the leases are not renewed, we may be required to find other operators for these facilities and/or enter into leases with less favorable terms. If the UHS facilities are purchased by the lessees at the end of the lease term, the economic return earned by us on the sale proceeds may be less favorable than the rental revenue currently earned on the facilities;

 

    our ability to finance our growth on favorable terms;

 

2


Table of Contents
    liability and other claims asserted against us or operators of our facilities;

 

    the fact that we have majority ownership interests in various LLCs in which we hold non-controlling equity interests;

 

    a large portion of our non-hospital properties consist of medical office buildings which are either directly or indirectly affected by the factors discussed herein as well as general real estate factors such as the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets;

 

    the operators of our facilities, including UHS, are confronted with other issues such as: industry capacity; demographic changes; existing laws and government regulations and changes in or failure to comply with laws and governmental regulations; the ability to enter into managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms; an increase in uninsured and self-pay patients which unfavorably impacts the collectibility of patient accounts; competition by other healthcare providers, including physician owned facilities in certain markets, including McAllen, Texas, the site of our largest facility; decreasing inpatient admission trends; the loss of significant customers; technological and pharmaceutical improvements that increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for healthcare; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including physicians;

 

    operators of our facilities, particularly UHS, have experienced a significant increase in property insurance expense (including earthquake insurance in California) and general and professional liability insurance expense and as a result, certain operators have assumed a greater portion of their liability risk and there can be no assurance that a continuation of these unfavorable trends, or a sharp increase in claims asserted against the operators of our facilities, which are self-insured, will not have a material adverse effect on their future results of operations, and;

 

    other factors referenced herein or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) we must comply with certain highly technical and complex requirements. Although we intend to remain so qualified, there may be facts and circumstances beyond our control that may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. Failure to qualify as a REIT may subject us to income tax liabilities, including federal income tax at regular corporate rates. The additional income tax incurred may significantly reduce the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for debt service. In addition, if disqualified, we might be barred from qualification as a REIT for four years following disqualification. Although we believe we have been qualified as a REIT since our inception, there can be no assurance that we have been so qualified or will remain qualified in the future.

 

Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, these factors will have on our operating results or our lessees, including the facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Management of the Trust disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

(A) Real estate assets owned by us and leased to subsidiaries of Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”).
(B) Real estate assets owned by us and leased to an unaffiliated third-party or parties.
(C) Real estate assets owned by a LLC in which we own a non-controlling interest as indicated above.
(D) Real estate assets owned by a LLC in which we have a non-controlling interest as indicated above and include tenants who are unaffiliated third-parties or subsidiaries of UHS.
(E) During the first quarter of 2003, HealthSouth Corp. (“HealthSouth”), the guarantor of the lease on the Tri-State Rehabilitation Hospital (“Tri-State”) facility announced that in light of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice investigations into its financial reporting and related activity calling into question the accuracy of HealthSouth’s previously filed financial statements, such financial statements should no longer be relied upon. HealthSouth does not expect to file its restated historical financial statements for periods ended on or before December 31, 2003 with the SEC until they have completed the reconstruction of their financial records and their audit is completed. HealthSouth currently estimates that such financial statements will not be completed until the first quarter of 2005. The lessee on the Tri-State facility is HealthSouth/Deaconess L.L.C., a joint venture between HealthSouth Properties Corporation and Deaconess Hospital, Inc. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, Tri-State had reported information to us that indicated that the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease and rental expense was many times its annual lease payments to us. However, there can be no assurance that the financial condition of HealthSouth will not have an adverse effect on Tri-State’s ability to make future lease payments to us. The lease with Tri-State was scheduled to expire in June 2004, however, during 2004 the lessee extended the lease for another five-year period to June of 2009. The renewal rate, which was based on the five-year Treasury rate immediately preceding the commencement of the lease renewal, resulted in a reduction in annual base rental on this facility of $321,000.
(F) We have committed to invest up to $10.5 million ($8.0 million in equity and $2.5 million in debt financing) in exchange for a 75% non-controlling interest in a LLC that constructed and owns the St. Mary’s Center for Health located in Reno, Nevada. As of December 31, 2004, we have advanced $1.8 million in connection with this project, and the LLC has borrowed $18.3 million in construction loans from a $26 million total construction loan commitment. This medical office building was opened in March of 2005.
(G) Tenants of these medical office buildings include subsidiaries of UHS. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FIN 46R and as a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and these properties in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment in these three LLCs. Consequently, the December 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheet includes the assets, liabilities, minority interest and third-party borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, of these LLCs. Beginning on April 1, 2004, pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46R, we began to consolidate the results of operations of these LLCs on our Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs.
(H) We have committed to invest up to a total of $3.5 million in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a LLC that will develop, construct, own and operate the Sierra San Antonio Medical Plaza located in Fontana, California. This LLC has a $7.5 million third-party construction loan commitment.
(I) During the first quarter of 2005, Bayway Properties, a LLC in which we owned a 73% non-controlling ownership interest, sold the real estate assets of the East Mesa Medical Center, which is located in Mesa, Arizona. Our share of the net sale proceeds resulting from this transaction was $2.9 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million which will be included in our results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2005.

 

Included in our portfolio are seven hospital facilities with an aggregate investment of $118.2 million, excluding Virtue Street, which was sold on December 31, 2004 (see below). The leases with respect to the seven remaining hospital facilities comprised approximately 58%, 69% and 68% of our revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and as of December 31, 2004, these leases have fixed terms with an average of 3.1 years remaining and include renewal options ranging from two to five, five-year terms.

 

We believe a facility’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and lease rental expense (“EBITDAR”) and a facility’s EBITDAR divided by the sum of minimum rent plus additional rent payable to us (“Coverage Ratio”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, are helpful to us and our investors as a measure of the operating performance of a hospital facility. EBITDAR, which is used as an indicator of a facility’s estimated cash flow generated from operations (before rent expense, capital additions and debt service), is used by us in evaluating a facility’s financial viability and its ability to pay rent.

Table of Contents

For the seven hospital facilities owned by us, the combined Coverage Ratio was approximately 7.8 (ranging from 3.1 to 14.9) during 2004, 9.1 (ranging from 3.8 to 17.1) during 2003 and 8.4 (ranging from 3.3 to 16.8) during 2002 (see “Relationship to Universal Health Services, Inc.”). The coverage ratio for individual facilities varies.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the leases with the seven hospital facilities, including subsidiaries of UHS, each individual hospital (the “lessee”) is responsible for building operations, maintenance and renovations. We, or the LLCs in which we have invested, are responsible for the building operations, maintenance and renovations of the preschool and childcare centers and the multi-tenant medical office buildings, however, a portion of the expenses associated with the medical office buildings are passed on directly to the tenants. Cash reserves have been established to fund required building maintenance and renovations at the multi-tenant medical office buildings. Lessees are required to maintain all risk, replacement cost and commercial property insurance policies on the leased properties and we, or the LLC in which we have invested, are also named insureds on these policies. In addition, we, or the LLCs in which we have invested, maintain property insurance on all properties. Although we believe that generally our properties are adequately insured, five medical office buildings (including one currently under construction) and Inland Valley Regional Medical Center, an acute care hospital leased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, are not covered under commercial earthquake policies since insurance is not available at rates which are economically beneficial in relation to the risks covered. However, pursuant to the terms of the lease, the wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS is responsible for property replacement cost for Inland Valley Regional Medical Center, a portion of which is commercially insured.

 

Relationship to Universal Health Services, Inc.

 

Leases:    As of December 31, 2004, subsidiaries of UHS leased five of the seven hospital facilities owned by us with terms expiring through 2009. The leases with subsidiaries of UHS are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another. Pursuant to the terms of our leases with subsidiaries of UHS, we earn fixed monthly base rents plus bonus rents based upon each facility’s net revenue in excess of base amounts. The bonus rents are computed and paid on a quarterly basis upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. These leases contain remaining renewal options ranging from two to five, five-year periods. Excluding the lease on the Virtue Street facility which was sold to UHS in December, 2004 (reflected as discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Income), the combined revenues generated from the leases on the five UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 58% of our total revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2004 (approximately 51% for the year ended December 31, 2004). Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%, the leases on the five UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 29% of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2004 (approximately 27% for the year ended December 31, 2004). For the five hospital facilities owned by us and leased to subsidiaries of UHS, the combined Coverage Ratio was approximately 8.1, 9.8 and 8.9 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Coverage Ratio for individual facilities vary and range from 4.0 to 14.9 in 2004, 5.1 to 17.1 in 2003 and 3.3 to 16.8 in 2002.

 

On December 31, 2004, we completed the sale of the real estate assets of Virtue Street Pavilion, located in Chalmette, Louisiana, to the former lessee of the facility, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the facility, the lessee exercised its option to purchase the facility at its fair market value upon the December, 2004 lease expiration. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the lease, independent appraisals were obtained by us and the lessee, which indicated that the fair market value of the property, and therefore the sale price, was $7,320,000. The sale resulted in a gain of $833,000 which is reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004. The annual minimum rent payable to us under the Virtue Street Pavilion lease with UHS was $1,261,000 and no bonus rent was earned on this facility during 2004, 2003 or 2002. As a result of the sale of the Virtue Street Pavilion, our future funds from operations and results of operations will likely be adversely affected since at interest rates as currently projected, the reduction in annual interest expense resulting from repayment of borrowings using the sale proceeds is likely to be approximately $1 million less than the annual rental payments previously earned by us pursuant to this lease.

Table of Contents

During the third quarter of 2004, the lease on The Bridgeway facility (lessee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS), which was scheduled to expire in December, 2004, was renewed for a five-year period through December, 2009, at the same lease terms.

 

During the third quarter of 2004, Wellington Regional Medical Center, our 121-bed acute care facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, sustained storm damage caused by a hurricane. This facility is leased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and pursuant to the terms of the lease, UHS is responsible for maintaining replacement cost property insurance for the facility, a substantial portion of which is insured by a commercial carrier. Although the facility has not experienced significant business interruption, our Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004, includes a property write-down charge of $1.9 million representing the estimated net book value of the damaged assets. This property charge is offset by an equal amount recoverable from UHS. We expect the ultimate replacement cost of the damaged property to exceed the net book value and the excess cost will also be recoverable from UHS. As of December 31, 2004, UHS spent approximately $1.9 million to replace the damaged property and this amount is reflected as construction in progress on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of that date. During the first quarter of 2004, the lessee of this facility completed and financed an $8.5 million expansion to the facility in order to meet patient demand. Accordingly, since the bonus rent calculation on this facility is based on net revenues, the lease was amended to exclude from the bonus rent calculation the estimated net revenues generated from the UHS-owned real estate assets (as calculated pursuant to a percentage based allocation determined at the time of expansion).

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003, we invested $1.6 million, and during 2004 we invested an additional $2.1 million (and have committed to invest an additional $200,000), in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a limited liability company that acquired the Spring Valley Medical Office Building, a medical office building on the campus of Spring Valley Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. This MOB will be 75% master leased for five years by Valley Health System (“VHS”), a majority-owned subsidiary of UHS, on a triple net basis. The master lease for each suite was extinguished at such time that the suite was leased to another tenant acceptable to us and VHS, for a minimum term of five years. As of December 31, 2004, letters of intent or lease agreements have been executed on more than 82% of the rentable space of this MOB and therefore the master lease arrangement has been extinguished.

 

During the third quarter of 2003, we invested $8.9 million plus an additional $600,000 during the fourth quarter of 2004 ($3.0 million in equity and $6.5 million of debt financing, which was repaid to us during the first quarter of 2005), for the purchase of a 98% non-controlling equity interest in a limited liability company that simultaneously purchased the 700 Shadow Lane & Goldring MOBs, consisting of three medical office buildings on the campus of Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. These medical office buildings were purchased from VHS and have tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.

 

During the third quarter of 2002, the lessee of Chalmette Medical Center, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, gave us the required notice to exercise its renewal option and extended the lease on this facility for a five-year term to 2008. The renewal rate was based upon the then five-year Treasury rate plus a spread. As a result, beginning at the end of March, 2003, the annual base rental on this facility was reduced by $270,000 from $1,230,000 to $960,000.

 

In July, 2002, the operations of Inland Valley Regional Medical Center (“Inland Valley”) were merged with the operations of Rancho Springs Medical Center (“Rancho Springs”), an acute care hospital located in California and also operated by UHS, the real estate assets of which are not owned by us. Inland Valley, our lessee, was merged into Universal Health Services of Rancho Springs, Inc. The merged entity is now doing business as Southwest Healthcare System (“Southwest Healthcare”). As a result of merging the operations of the two facilities, the revenues of Southwest Healthcare include the revenues of both Inland Valley and Rancho Springs. Although we do not own the real estate assets of the Rancho Springs facility, Southwest Healthcare became the lessee on the lease relating to the real estate assets of the Inland Valley campus. Since the bonus rent calculation for the Inland Valley campus is based on net revenues and the financial results of the two facilities

are no longer separable, the lease was amended during 2002 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation, the estimated net revenues generated at the Rancho Springs campus. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, the consolidation of the two facilities as mentioned above, had on the underlying value of Inland Valley.

 

In recent years, an increasing number of legislative initiatives have been introduced or proposed in Congress and in state legislatures that would effect major changes in the healthcare system, either nationally or at the state level (see “Regulation”). In addition, the healthcare industry has been characterized in recent years by increased competition and consolidation. Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, these industry factors will have on the operating results of our lessees, including the facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS, or on their ability to meet their obligations under the terms of their leases with us.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the leases with UHS, UHS has the option to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms at the appraised market value. In addition, UHS has the rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during, and for 180 days after, the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer. The terms of the leases also provide that in the event UHS discontinues operations at the leased facility for more than one year, or elects to terminate its lease prior to the expiration of its term for prudent business reasons, UHS is obligated to offer a substitution property. If we do not accept the substitution property offered, UHS is obligated to purchase the leased facility back from us at a price equal to the greater of its then fair market value or the original purchase price paid by us. As of December 31, 2004, the aggregate fair market value of our facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS is not known, however, the aggregate original purchase price paid by us for these properties was $101.3 million (excluding Virtue Street Pavilion). As noted below, transactions with UHS must be approved by a majority of the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”). The purchase options and rights of first refusal granted to the respective lessees to purchase or lease the respective leased facilities, after the expiration of the lease term, may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease a facility, and may present a potential conflict of interest between us and UHS since the price and terms offered by a third-party are likely to be dependent, in part, upon the financial performance of the facility during the final years of the lease term.

 

Management cannot predict whether the leases with subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease terms. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases.

 

Advisory Agreement:    UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986 between the Advisor and us (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement has been renewed for 2005. All transactions with UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees.

 

The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee equal to .60% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet from time to time. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to an annual incentive fee equal to 20% of the amount by which cash available for distribution to shareholders for each year, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, exceeds 15% of our equity

as shown on our consolidated balance sheet, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles without reduction for return of capital dividends. No incentive fees were paid during 2004, 2003 and 2002. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year end, based upon our audited financial statements.

 

Our officers are all employees of UHS and as of December 31, 2004, we had no salaried employees.

 

Share Purchase Option:    UHS has the option to purchase our shares of beneficial interest at fair market value to maintain a 5% interest in the Trust. As of December 31, 2004, UHS owned 6.7% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

 

Competition

 

We compete for the acquisition, leasing and financing of healthcare related facilities. Our competitors include, but are not limited to, other REITs, banks and other companies, including UHS.

 

In most geographical areas in which our facilities operate, there are other facilities which provide services comparable to those offered by our facilities, some of which are owned by governmental agencies and supported by tax revenues, and others which are owned by nonprofit corporations and may be supported to a large extent by endowments and charitable contributions. Such support is not available to our facilities. In addition, certain hospitals which are located in the areas served by our facilities are special service hospitals providing medical, surgical and behavioral health services that are not available at our hospitals or other general hospitals. The competitive position of a hospital is to a large degree, dependent upon the number and quality of staff physicians. Although a physician may at any time terminate his or her affiliation with a hospital, the operators of our hospitals seek to retain doctors of varied specializations on its staff and to attract other qualified doctors by improving facilities and maintaining high ethical and professional standards.

 

In addition, in certain markets, including McAllen, Texas, the site of our largest facility, competition from other healthcare providers, including physician owned facilities, has increased and additional inpatient capacity at a physician owned hospital opened in late 2004. A continuation of the increased provider competition in the markets in which our hospital facilities operate, including McAllen, Texas, could have an adverse effect on the net revenues and financial results of the operators of our hospital facilities which may negatively impact the bonus rentals earned by us on these facilities and may potentially have a negative impact on the underlying value of the properties.

 

A large portion of our non-hospital properties consist of medical office buildings which are located either close to or on the campuses of hospital facilities. We anticipate investing in additional healthcare related facilities and leasing the facilities to qualified operators, perhaps including UHS and subsidiaries of UHS.

 

Regulation and Other Factors

 

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, 48%, 52% and 51%, respectively, of our revenues were earned pursuant to leases with operators of acute care services hospitals, all of which are subsidiaries of UHS. A significant portion of the revenue earned by the operators of our acute care hospitals is derived from federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid (excluding managed Medicare and Medicaid programs).

 

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by federal, state and local laws. This government regulation of the healthcare industry affects us because:

 

(i) The financial ability of lessees to make rent payments to us may be affected by governmental regulations such as licensure, certification for participation in government programs, and government reimbursement, and;

 

9


Table of Contents
(ii) Our bonus rents are based on our lessees’ net revenues which in turn are affected by the amount of reimbursement such lessees receive from the government.

 

Under the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, many of the general acute care operations are subject to administrative rulings, interpretations and discretion that may affect payments made under either or both of such programs as well as by other third party payors. The federal government makes payments to participating hospitals under its Medicare program based on various formulas. For inpatient services, the operators of our acute care hospitals are subject to a prospective payment system (“PPS”) under which the hospitals are paid a predetermined amount per admission. The payment is based upon a diagnostic related group (“DRG”), for which payment amounts are adjusted to account for geographic wage differences. For outpatient services, both general acute and behavioral health hospitals are paid under an outpatient prospective payment system (“OPPS”) according to ambulatory procedure codes (“APC”) that group together services that are comparable both clinically and with respect to the use of resources, as adjusted to account for certain geographic wage differences.

 

There are also a number of other more general federal regulatory trends and factors affecting the hospital industry. Federal legislation continues to call for the government to trim the growth of federal spending on Medicare and Medicaid, including reductions in the future rate of increases to payments made to hospitals and reduce the amount of payments for outpatient services, bad debt expense and capital costs. In federal fiscal year 2004, hospitals were receiving full market basket inflation adjustment for services paid under the inpatient PPS (inpatient PPS update of the market basket is 3.4% in fiscal year 2004), although CMS estimates that for the same time period, Medicare payment rates under OPPS were to increase, for each service, by an average of 4.5%. Under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, which was signed into law in November 2003, the update was restored to the full market basket for fiscal year 2004; however, for fiscal years 2005 through 2007, operating updates equal to the market basket will be granted only to those hospitals that submit data on the ten quality indicators established by CMS. The operators of our acute care hospital facilities intend to submit the required quality data to CMS. For federal fiscal year 2005, CMS will increase the inpatient Medicare unadjusted standard base rate by a full market basket increase of 3.3%, absent any legislative action by Congress. However, this Medicare payment increase will be mitigated by changes in other factors that directly impact a hospital’s DRG payment including, but not limited to, annual Medicare wage index updates, expansion of the DRG transfer payment policy and the annual recalibration of DRG relative payment weights.

 

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws, regulations and rules including, among others, those related to government healthcare participation requirements, various licensure and accreditations, reimbursement for patient services, health information privacy and security rules, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse provisions (including, but not limited to, federal statutes and regulations prohibiting kickbacks and other illegal inducements to potential referral sources, false claims submitted to federal health care programs and self-referrals by physicians). Providers that are found to have violated any of these laws and regulations may be excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subjected to significant fines or penalties or required to repay amounts received from government for previously billed patient services.

 

Although the operators of our acute care facilities believe that their policies, procedures and practices comply with governmental regulations, no assurance can be given that they will not be subjected to governmental inquiries or actions, or that they would not be faced with sanctions, fines or penalties if so subjected. Even if they were to ultimately prevail, a significant governmental inquiry or action under one of the above laws, regulations or rules could have a material adverse effect upon them, and in turn, us.

 

A large portion of our non-hospital properties consist of medical office buildings which are located either close to or on the campuses of hospital facilities. These properties are either directly or indirectly affected by the factors discussed above as well as general real estate factors such as the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates.

Average occupancy rate for the hospital facilities is based on the average number of available beds occupied during each of the five years ended December 31, 2004. Average available beds is the number of beds which are actually in service at any given time for immediate patient use with the necessary equipment and

 

13


Table of Contents
 

staff available for patient care. A hospital may have appropriate licenses for more beds than are in service for a number of reasons, including lack of demand, incomplete construction and anticipation of future needs. The average occupancy rate of a hospital is affected by a number of factors, including the number of physicians using the hospital, changes in the number of beds, the composition and size of the population of the community in which the hospital is located, general and local economic conditions, variations in local medical and surgical practices and the degree of outpatient use of the hospital services. Average occupancy rate for the multi-tenant medical office buildings is based on the occupied square footage of each building, including any applicable master leases.

(2) In July, 2002, the operations of Inland Valley Regional Medical Center (“Inland Valley”) were merged with the operations of Rancho Springs Medical Center (“Rancho Springs”), an acute care hospital located in California and also operated by UHS, the real estate assets of which are not owned by us. Inland Valley, our lessee, was merged into Universal Health Services of Rancho Springs, Inc. The merged entity is now doing business as Southwest Healthcare System (“Southwest Healthcare”). As a result of merging the operations of the two facilities, the revenues of Southwest Healthcare include the revenues of both Inland Valley and Rancho Springs. Although we do not own the real estate assets of the Rancho Springs facility, Southwest Healthcare became the lessee on the lease relating to the real estate assets of the Inland Valley facility. Since the bonus rent calculation for the Inland Valley campus is based on net revenues and the financial results of the two facilities are no longer separable, the lease was amended during 2002 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation the estimated net revenues generated at the Rancho Springs campus (as calculated pursuant to a percentage based allocation determined at the time of the merger).

The average occupancy rates shown for this facility in 2004, 2003 and 2002 were based on the combined number of beds occupied at the Inland Valley and Rancho Springs campuses. The average occupancy rates shown for the years 2000 and 2001 were based on the average number of beds occupied at the Inland Valley campus.

(3) During the first quarter of 2001, UHS purchased the assets and operations of the 60-bed McAllen Heart Hospital located in McAllen, Texas. Upon the acquisition by UHS, the Heart Hospital began operating under the same license as an integrated department of McAllen Medical Center. As a result of combining the operations of the two facilities, the revenues of McAllen Medical Center include revenues generated by the Heart Hospital, the real property of which is not owned by us. Accordingly, since the bonus rent calculation for McAllen Medical Center is based on net revenues and the financial results of the two facilities are no longer separable, the McAllen Medical Center lease was amended during 2001 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation, the estimated net revenues generated at the Heart Hospital (as calculated pursuant to a percentage based allocation determined at the time of the merger). Base rental commitments and the guarantee by UHS under the original lease continue for the remainder of the lease terms. During 2000, UHS purchased a non-acute care facility located in McAllen, Texas that had been closed. The license for this facility was merged with the license for McAllen Medical Center and this non-acute facility, the real property of which is not owned by us, was re-opened during 2001. There was no amendment to the McAllen Medical Center lease related to this non-acute care facility. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, the consolidation of the two facilities as mentioned above, had on the underlying value of McAllen Medical Center.

The average occupancy rates shown for this facility in 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were based on the combined number of beds at McAllen Medical Center and the McAllen Heart Hospital. The average occupancy rates shown for the year 2000 was based on the average number of beds occupied at the McAllen Medical Center.

(4) During the first quarter of 2004, UHS completed and financed an $8.5 million expansion to the physical capacity of Wellington Regional Medical Center in order to meet patient demand. Accordingly, since the bonus rent calculation on this facility is based on net revenues, the lease was amended to exclude from the bonus rent calculation the estimated net revenues generated from the portion of the facility owned by UHS (as calculated pursuant to a percentage based allocation determined at the time of the expansion).
(5) Properties are multi-tenant MOBs which have various lease maturity dates.
(6) The real estate assets of this facility are owned by a LLC in which we own a non-controlling equity interest and include tenants who are unaffiliated third-parties or subsidiaries of UHS.

Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) as a measure of our liquidity; (iv) nor is FFO an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO is shown below.

 

In June of 2001, we issued 2.6 million additional shares of beneficial interest at $21.57 per share generating net proceeds of $53.9 million to us. These proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility thereby decreasing interest expense and increasing FFO. FFO shown above is calculated as follows:

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

We are a real estate investment trust that commenced operations in 1986. We invest in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral healthcare facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute facilities, surgery centers, childcare centers and medical office buildings. As of December 31, 2004, we have forty-three real estate investments or commitments located in fifteen states consisting of:

 

    seven hospital facilities including four acute care, one behavioral healthcare, one rehabilitation and one sub-acute;

 

    thirty-two medical office buildings, and;

 

    four preschool and childcare centers.

 

Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors

 

The matters discussed in this report, as well as the news releases issued from time to time by us, include certain statements containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “expects” and words of similar import, which constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

18


Table of Contents

Such factors include, among other things, the following:

 

    a substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, Universal Health Services, Inc., (“UHS”);

 

    UHS is our Advisor and our officers are all employees of UHS which may create the potential for conflicts of interest;

 

    a substantial portion of our leases are involved in the healthcare industry which continues to undergo change and is subject to possible changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement from third-party payors and government reimbursement programs, including Medicare and Medicaid;

 

    we cannot predict whether the leases on our properties, including the leases on the properties leased to subsidiaries of UHS, which have options to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease or renewal terms at the appraised fair market value, will be renewed at their current rates at the end of the lease terms. If the leases are not renewed, we may be required to find other operators for these facilities and/or enter into leases with less favorable terms. If the UHS facilities are purchased by the lessees at the end of the lease term, the economic return earned by us on the sale proceeds may be less favorable than the rental revenue currently earned on the facilities;

 

    our ability to finance our growth on favorable terms;

 

    liability and other claims asserted against us or operators of our facilities;

 

    the fact that we have majority ownership interests in various LLCs in which we hold non-controlling equity interests;

 

    a large portion of our non-hospital properties consist of medical office buildings which are either directly or indirectly affected by the factors discussed herein as well as general real estate factors such as the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates, as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets;

 

    the operators of our facilities, including UHS, are confronted with other issues such as: industry capacity; demographic changes; existing laws and government regulations and changes in or failure to comply with laws and governmental regulations; the ability to enter into managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms; an increase in uninsured and self-pay patients which unfavorably impacts the collectibility of patient accounts; competition by other healthcare providers, including physician owned facilities; decreasing inpatient admission trends; the loss of significant customers; technological and pharmaceutical improvements that increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for healthcare; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including physicians;

 

    operators of our facilities, particularly UHS, have experienced a significant increase in property insurance expense (including earthquake insurance in California) and general and professional liability insurance expense and as a result, certain operators have assumed a greater portion of their liability risk and there can be no assurance that a continuation of these unfavorable trends, or a sharp increase in claims asserted against the operators of our facilities, which are self-insured, will not have a material adverse effect on their future results of operations, and;

 

    other factors referenced herein or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In addition, in certain markets, including McAllen, Texas, the site of our largest facility, competition from other healthcare providers, including physician owned facilities, has increased and additional inpatient capacity at a physician owned hospital opened in late 2004. A continuation of the increased provider competition in the markets in which our hospital facilities operate, including McAllen, Texas, could have an adverse effect on the net revenues and financial results of the operators of our hospital facilities which may negatively impact the bonus rentals earned by us on these facilities and may potentially have a negative impact on the underlying value of the properties.

In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) we must comply with certain highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Service requirements. Although we intend to remain so qualified, there may be facts and circumstances beyond our control that may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. Failure to qualify as a REIT may subject us to income tax liabilities, including federal income tax at regular corporate rates. The additional income tax incurred may significantly reduce the cash flow available for distribution to shareholders and for debt service. In addition, if disqualified, we might be barred from qualification as a REIT for four years following disqualification. Although we believe we have been qualified as a REIT since our inception, there can be no assurance that we have been so qualified or will remain qualified in the future.

 

Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, these factors will have on our operating results or our lessees, including the facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Management of the Trust disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

A summary of our significant accounting policies is outlined in Note 1 to the financial statements. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require us to make significant judgments and estimates when we prepare our financial statements, including the following:

 

Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. Our revenues consist primarily of rentals received from tenants, which are comprised of minimum rent (base rentals), bonus rentals and reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of expenses such as common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and utilities.

 

The minimum rent for all hospital facilities is fixed over the initial term or renewal term of the respective leases. Minimum rent for other material leases is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. Bonus rents are recognized when earned based upon increases in each facility’s net revenue in excess of stipulated amounts. Bonus rentals are determined and paid each quarter based upon a computation that compares the respective facility’s current quarter’s revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred.

 

Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”) — Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment in the entity. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights”, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, which represent 33% to 98% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to and distributions from the investments.

 

Rental income recorded by the LLCs relating to leases in excess of one year in length, is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. The amount of rental revenue resulting from straight-line rent adjustments is dependent

 

20


Table of Contents

on many factors including the nature and amount of any rental concessions granted to new tenants, scheduled rent increases under existing leases, as well as the acquisitions and sales of properties that have existing in-place leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the straight-line adjustments to rental revenue may vary from period-to-period.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation, as revised (“FIN 46R”), addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FIN 46R. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, we are the primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we began consolidating the results of operations of these three LLC investments. Included on our December 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheet are the: (i) assets; (ii) liabilities; (iii) third-party borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, and; (iv) minority interests, of these three LLC investments. Also as a consequence of FIN 46R, beginning on April 1, 2004, we began consolidating the results of operations of these LLC investments on our Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

 

Federal Income Taxes — No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. As such, we are exempt from Federal Income Taxes and we are required to distribute at least 90% of our real estate investment taxable income to our shareholders.

 

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.

 

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for investment losses.

UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor under an Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986 between the Advisor and us (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement has been renewed for 2005. All transactions with UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees. Our officers are all employees of UHS and as of December 31, 2004, we had no salaried employees.

 

Excluding the lease on the Virtue Street facility, which was sold to UHS in December, 2004, the leases on the five remaining UHS wholly-owned hospital facilities comprised approximately 51%, 60% and 59% of our

revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%, the leases with wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities accounted for 27% in each 2004, 2003 and 2002 of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenues. The leases to the hospital facilities of UHS are guaranteed by UHS and cross-defaulted with one another. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure.

 

Results of Operations

 

Year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003:

 

Income from continuing operations decreased $1.7 million to $21.7 million or $1.84 per diluted share during 2004 as compared to $23.4 million or $1.99 per diluted share during 2003. Net income decreased $754,000 to $23.7 million or $2.00 per diluted share during 2004 as compared to $24.4 million or $2.07 per diluted share during 2003. The $1.7 million decrease in income from continuing operations during 2004, as compared to 2003, was primarily due to a $1.8 million decrease in gains from sales of real properties by certain LLCs ($1.0 million or $.09 per diluted share of gains during 2004 as compared to $2.8 million or $.24 per diluted share during 2003). The $754,000 decrease in net income during 2004, as compared to 2003, was primarily due to the $1.8 million decrease in gains mentioned above, partially offset by a $833,000 gain recorded during 2004 resulting from the sale of the Virtue Street Pavilion (reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income).

 

Total revenues increased by $4.7 million to $31.8 million in 2004 as compared to $27.1 million in 2003, resulting primarily from: (i) a favorable $4.8 million increase in base rentals due to the consolidation of the results of operations of the three LLCs, as discussed below, and; (ii) $100,000 of other net unfavorable changes due primarily to approximately $200,000 of base rental decreases resulting from lease renewals during 2003 and 2004 which were based on Treasury rates at the time of renewal, partially offset by $106,000 increase in bonus rental revenue from UHS facilities.

 

Interest expense increased by $870,000 in 2004, as compared to 2003, due to: (i) an increase of $1.3 million resulting from the consolidation of the three LLCs, as discussed below, and; (ii) a decrease of $422,000 due to the expiration of an interest rate swap agreement which reduced our effective borrowing rate, and a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings. Also contributing to the reduction in interest expense were gains of $124,000 during 2004, as compared to $10,000 during 2003, stemming from the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges on derivatives pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased $910,000 during 2004, as compared to 2003, due primarily to the consolidation of the LLCs, as discussed below. Other operating expenses increased $1.6 million during 2004, as compared to 2003, also due primarily to the consolidation of the results of operations of the three LLCs, as discussed below. Included in our other operating expenses were expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings, which totaled $4.3 million in 2004 and $2.6 million in 2003. The $1.7 million increase in operating expense related to our medical office buildings is also due to the consolidation of the LLCs, as discussed below. A portion of the expenses associated with the medical office buildings are passed on directly to the tenants and are included as revenues in our statements of income. Approximately $3.3 million or 75% in 2004 and, $1.6 million or 60% in 2003, of the operating expenses related to the medical office buildings were passed on directly to the tenants. Building expenses allocated to tenants for reimbursement are dependent on various factors such as overall building occupancy levels and terms of individual leases.

 

Included in our financial results was $4.0 million in 2004 (before $1.0 million gain on sale of real property) and $5.1 million in 2003 (before $2.8 million of gains on sales of real properties) of operating income generated from our ownership of equity interests in limited liability companies which own medical office buildings in Arizona, California, Kentucky, New Mexico, Nevada and Maine (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial

Table of Contents

Statements). The decrease during 2004, as compared to 2003, is due primarily to the consolidation of the three LLCs, as discussed below.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we have investments or commitments in twenty-two limited liability companies (“LLCs”), nineteen of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are consolidated in the results of operations as of April 1, 2004. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are the primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we began consolidating the results of operations of these three LLC investments. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these three LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

 

The following table presents the effect on our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004 resulting from the consolidation of the three LLCs considered variable interest entities (amounts in thousands):

On December 31, 2004, we completed the sale of the real estate assets of Virtue Street Pavilion, located in Chalmette, Louisiana, to the former lessee of the facility, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, for cash proceeds of $7.3 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $833,000 which is reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004. The operating results of this facility are also reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

During the third quarter of 2004, Wellington Regional Medical Center, our 121-bed acute care facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, sustained storm damage caused by a hurricane. This facility is leased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and pursuant to the terms of the lease, UHS is responsible for maintaining replacement cost property insurance for the facility, a substantial portion of which is insured by a commercial carrier. Although the facility has not experienced significant business interruption, our Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004, includes a property write-down charge of $1.9 million representing the estimated net book value of the damaged assets. This property charge is offset by an equal amount recoverable from UHS. We expect the ultimate replacement cost of the damaged property to exceed the net book value and the excess cost will also be recoverable from UHS.

 

During the second quarter of 2004, Parkvale Properties sold the real property of the Parkvale Medical Building which is located in Phoenix, Arizona. Our share of the net sale proceeds resulting from this transaction was $950,000 which is included as a gain on sale of real property in our results of operations for 2004, since the carrying value of this investment was reduced to zero in a prior year.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003, 23650 Madison and PacPal Investments, two LLCs in which we owned 95% non-controlling ownership interests, sold the real estate assets of Skypark Professional Medical Building and Pacifica Palms Medical Plaza, respectively, both of which are located in Torrance, California. Our share of the combined net sales proceeds resulting from these transactions was $6.3 million. These transactions resulted in a combined gain of $2.5 million which is included in our 2003 results of operations. Also during 2003, we received $365,000 from Parkvale Properties, a LLC in which we own a 60% non-controlling ownership interest, representing our share of the net sale proceeds from the sale of Palo Verde Medical Center, a medical office building located in Phoenix, Arizona. Since the carrying value of this investment was reduced to zero in a prior year, this sale resulted in a gain of $365,000, which is included in our 2003 results of operations.

 

Funds from operations, is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) as an alternative to cash flow from

operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) as a measure of our liquidity; (iv) nor is FFO an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

 

Our FFO increased $1.1 million or 3.5% to $31.2 million during 2004 as compared to $30.1 million during 2003. Below is a reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO (amounts in thousands).

Year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to year ended December 31, 2002:

 

Income from continuing operations increased $2.8 million to $23.4 million or $1.99 per diluted share during 2003 as compared to $20.6 million or $1.76 per diluted share during 2002. Net income increased $2.8 million to $24.4 million or $2.07 per diluted share during 2003 as compared to $21.6 million or $1.84 per diluted share during 2002. The $2.8 million increase in income from continuing operations and net income during 2003, as compared to 2002, was primarily attributable to a $3.0 million increase in equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs. The increased income from LLCs during 2003, as compared to 2002, resulted from: (i) a $1.6 million increase in gains from sales of real properties by certain LLCs ($2.8 million or $.24 per diluted share of gains during 2003 as compared to $1.2 million or $.10 per diluted share during 2002), and; (ii) $1.4 million of additional income from our investments in various LLCs. Included in the income from the LLCs is rental income relating to leases in excess of one year in length, which is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. Also contributing to the increase was income generated from the LLCs in which we initially invested during 2002 or 2003.

 

Total revenues decreased $116,000 to $27.1 million during 2003, as compared to $27.2 million during 2002, resulting primarily from: (i) an unfavorable $205,000 or 2% decrease in base rentals from UHS facilities, resulting from the lease renewal at Chalmette Medical Center which was renewed in March, 2003 at a lower annual base rental rate which was based upon Treasury rates; (ii) an unfavorable $302,000 or 3% decrease in base rental and tenant reimbursements from non-related parties, caused primarily by an increased vacancy rate at three medical office buildings located in Fresno, California, Riverdale, Georgia and Kingwood, Texas, and; (iii) a favorable $391,000 or 9% increase in bonus rental revenue from UHS facilities.

 

Interest expense decreased $133,000 in 2003, as compared to 2002, due primarily to a loss of $217,000 recorded during 2002 (as compared to $10,000 gain during 2003) stemming from the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges on derivatives pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

 

Other operating expenses increased 2% or $63,000 in 2003, as compared to 2002. Included in our other operating expenses were expenses related to the medical office buildings, in which we have a controlling ownership interest, which totaled $2.6 million in 2003 and $2.5 million in 2002. A portion of the expenses associated with the medical office buildings are passed on directly to the tenants and are included as revenues in our statements of income. Approximately $1.6 million or 60% in 2003 and $1.7 million or 70% in 2002, of the operating expenses related to the medical office buildings were passed on directly to the tenants. Building

expenses allocated to tenants for reimbursement are dependent on various factors such as overall building occupancy levels and terms of individual leases.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $105,000 or 2% in 2003, as compared to 2002.

 

Included in our financial results was $5.1 million in 2003 (before $2.8 million gains on sales of real properties) and $3.7 million in 2002 (before $1.2 million gain on sale of property), of operating income generated from our ownership of equity interests in limited liability companies which own medical office buildings in Arizona, California, Kentucky, New Mexico, Nevada and Maine (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). During 2003, as discussed above, we recorded $2.8 million of combined gains related to the sales of Skypark Professional Medical Building, Pacifica Palms Medical Plaza and Palo Verde Medical Center, as discussed above. During 2002, we received $2.6 million of cash for our share of the proceeds generated from the sale of the real estate assets of Samaritan West Valley Medical Center located in Goodyear, Arizona. The transaction resulted in a gain of $1.2 million which is included in our 2002 results of operations.

 

Our FFO increased $1.5 million or 5.5% to $30.1 million during 2003 as compared to $28.6 million during 2002. Below is a reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO (amounts in thousands).

Effects of Inflation

 

Although inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations over the last three years, the healthcare industry is very labor intensive and salaries and benefits are subject to inflationary pressures as are rising supply costs which tend to escalate as vendors pass on the rising costs through price increases. Operators of our hospital facilities are experiencing the effects of the tight labor market, including a shortage of nurses which has caused and may continue to cause an increase, in excess of the inflation rate, in salaries, wages and benefits expense. In addition, due to unfavorable pricing and availability trends in the professional and general liability insurance markets, the cost of commercial professional and general liability insurance coverage has risen significantly. As a result, certain operators of our hospital facilities, including all of the facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS, assumed a greater portion of the hospital professional and general liability risk. We cannot predict the ability of the operators of our facilities to continue to cover future cost increases. Therefore, there can be no assurance that a continuation of these trends will not have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations of the operators of our facilities which may affect their ability to make lease payments to us.

 

Most of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Our hospital leases require all building operating expenses, including maintenance, real estate taxes and other costs, to be paid by the lessee. In addition, certain of the hospital leases contain bonus rental provisions, which require the lessee to pay additional rent to us based on increases in the revenues of the facility over a base year amount. In addition, most of our medical office building leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes over a base year amount. These provisions may reduce our exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation. To the extent that

some leases do not contain such provisions, our future operating results may be adversely impacted by the effects of inflation.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

Year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003:

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $27.0 million during 2004 as compared to $26.2 million during 2003. The $741,000 net favorable change during 2004, as compared to 2003, was primarily attributable to: (i) a $1.0 million favorable change in net income plus or minus the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities (depreciation and amortization and gains on sales of real properties); (ii) a $129,000 unfavorable change in accrued interest, and; (iii) $141,000 of other net unfavorable changes. The $1.0 million favorable change mentioned above was due primarily to the add-back of approximately $900,000 of depreciation and amortization expense incurred by three LLCs that we began including in our financial statements, on a consolidated basis, during 2004 in connection with the adoption of FIN 46R.

 

Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities

 

Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities was $11.9 million during 2004 as compared to ($10.2 million) during 2003.

 

During 2004, we received $7.3 million of cash in connection with the sale of the real assets of Virtue Street Pavilion, located in Chalmette, Louisiana, to the former lessee of the facility, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. Also during 2004, we received $6.4 million of cash in connection with the 2003 sale by two LLCs that owned the real estate assets of Skypark Professional Medical Office Building and Pacifica Palms Medical Plaza. The sale proceeds were held in a cash escrow account by a like-kind-exchange agent in anticipation of potentially completing a like-kind-exchange transaction during 2004. Since the like-kind-exchange transaction did not occur, these proceeds were distributed to us during 2004. We received $1.0 million during 2004 and $365,000 during 2003 ($6.7 million of cash distributions from sales of properties by LLCs during 2003 less $6.3 million held in an escrow account, as mentioned above), of cash distributions in connection with the sales of real properties by LLCs. We also received distributions from refinancing proceeds of $800,000 during 2004, and $5.0 million during 2003, in connection with our investments in LLCs.

 

During 2004, we invested a total of $4.2 million in the following (consisting of $2.8 million of investments in LLCs and $1.4 million of net advances made to LLCs):

 

    $2.1 million funded in connection with the purchase of a 95% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that owns the Spring Valley Medical Office Building located in Las Vegas, Nevada (the LLC also obtained a $4.0 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $830,000 additional net loan funded in connection with a total commitment of up to $10.5 million by us (consisting of $8.0 million in equity and $2.5 million in debt financing) in exchange for a 75% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that is constructing and owns the St. Mary’s Center for Health located in Reno, Nevada, which was opened in the first quarter of 2005 (the LLC also obtained a $26 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $600,000 additional net loan funded in connection with the purchase of a 98% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that simultaneously purchased three medical office buildings on the campus of Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and;

 

    $700,000 of additional investments in various LLCs in which we own a non-controlling equity interest.

 

27


Table of Contents

During 2003, we invested a total of $16.2 million in the following (consisting of $9.3 million of investments in LLCs and $6.9 million of net advances made to LLCs):

 

    $1.2 million invested for the purchase of a 85% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that owns a medical office building in Apache Junction, Arizona (the LLC also obtained a $3.0 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $1.6 million invested (and an additional $2.3 million committed, of which $2.1 million was funded during 2004) in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a LLC that owns the Spring Valley Medical Office Building located in Las Vegas, Nevada (the LLC also obtained a $4.0 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $8.9 million during 2003, consisting of $3.0 million in equity and a $6.5 million loan (this loan was fully repaid to us during the first quarter of 2005), invested for the purchase of a 98% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that simultaneously purchased three medical office buildings on the campus of Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada;

 

    $1.0 million net loan funded in connection with a total commitment of up to $10.5 million by us (consisting of $8.0 million in equity and $2.5 million in debt financing) in exchange for a 75% non-controlling interest in a LLC that will construct and own the St. Mary’s Center for Health located in Reno, Nevada;

 

    $2.0 million funded in connection with the purchase of a 85% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that constructed and owns the Rosenberg Children’s Medical Plaza, a medical office building that was opened in February, 2003 (the LLC also obtained a $7.5 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us), and;

 

    $1.5 million of additional investments in various LLCs in which we own a non-controlling equity interest.

 

Net cash used in financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $36.4 million during 2004 and $16.0 million during 2003.

 

We paid dividends of $23.5 million during 2004 as compared to $23.0 million during 2003. We repaid $13.0 million during 2004, and borrowed $6.8 million during 2003, under the terms of our revolving credit facility. We repaid $435,000 of mortgage notes payable during 2004 (including $333,000 of mortgage notes payable related to three LLCs that were consolidated into our results of operations during 2004 as a result of FIN 46R) as compared to $95,000 during 2003. We received $593,000 during 2004 and $757,000 during 2003, of proceeds from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest. During 2003, we paid $540,000 in fees in connection with the commencement of our revolving credit agreement.

 

Year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to December 31, 2002:

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $26.2 million during 2003 as compared to $25.1 million in 2002. The $1.1 million increase during 2003, as compared to 2002, resulted primarily from $1.4 million of increases in net income (excluding gains) due primarily to increased earnings from the LLCs in which we own various non-controlling ownership interests. Contributing to the increased earnings from the LLCs was increased rental income recorded at the LLCs relating to leases in excess of one year in length which is recognized using the straight-line method. Also contributing to the increase was income generated from the LLCs in which we initially invested during 2002 or 2003.

 

Cash used in investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $10.2 million during 2003, as discussed above, as compared to $200,000 during 2002.

Table of Contents

During 2002, we invested a total of $5.3 million in the following:

 

    $3.1 million invested in a LLC, in which we own a 90% non-controlling equity interest, that constructed the Deer Valley Medical Office II located in Phoenix, Arizona (the LLC also obtained a $7.0 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $200,000 invested (of the $2.6 million commitment) for the purchase of a 85% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that constructed and owns the Rosenberg Children’s Medical Plaza, a medical office building that was opened in February, 2003 (the LLC also obtained a $7.5 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us), and;

 

    $2.0 million of additional investments in various LLCs in which we own a non-controlling equity interest.

 

During 2002, we received $2.6 million of cash distributions from sale proceeds in connection with the sale of real property by an LLC. Also during 2002, we received $525,000 of distributions from refinancing proceeds, in connection with our investments in LLCs.

 

Net cash used in financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $16.0 million during 2003, as discussed above, and $24.9 million during 2002.

 

We paid dividends of $22.4 million during 2002 and repaid $1.4 million of borrowings under the terms of our revolving credit agreement. Also during 2002, we repaid a $1.5 million note payable to UHS and generated $488,000 from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest.

 

Credit facilities and mortgage debt

 

We have an unsecured $80 million revolving credit agreement (the “Agreement”) which expires on May 27, 2007. We have a one-time option, which can be exercised at any time, subject to bank approval, to increase the amount by $20 million for a total commitment of $100 million. The Agreement provides for interest at our option, at the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% to 1.40% or the prime rate plus zero to .40%. A fee of .25% to .35% is paid on the unused portion of this commitment. The margins over the Eurodollar rate, prime rate and the commitment fee are based upon our debt to total capital ratio as defined by the Agreement. At December 31, 2004, the applicable margin over the Eurodollar rate was 1.00% and the commitment fee was .25%. At December 31, 2004, we had $15.3 million of letters of credit outstanding against the Agreement. There are no compensating balance requirements. The Agreement contains a provision whereby the commitments will be reduced by 50% of the proceeds generated from any new equity offering. The average amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement were $26.4 million in 2004, $28.3 million in 2003 and $25.3 million in 2002 with corresponding effective interest rates, including commitment fees and interest rate swap expense, of 7.0% in 2004, 7.6% in 2003 and 8.1% in 2002. The carrying value of the amounts borrowed approximates fair market value. At December 31, 2004, we had approximately $44.7 million of available borrowing capacity under this agreement.

 

Covenants relating to the revolving credit facility require the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and specified financial ratios, limit our ability to incur additional debt, limit the aggregate amount of mortgage receivables and limit our ability to increase dividends in excess of 95% of cash available for distribution, unless additional distributions are required to comply with the applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations governing real estate investment trusts. We are in compliance with such covenants at December 31, 2004.

 

We have four mortgages, which are non-recourse to us, included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004 with a combined outstanding balance of $26.2 million. These mortgages carry various

 

29


Table of Contents

interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.3% and have maturity dates ranging from 2006 through 2010. The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. At December 31, 2004, these mortgages had a combined fair value of approximately $28.5 million. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of the debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. We are scheduled to repay an average of approximately $660,000 in principal per year through 2006, with a balloon payment in the amount of $5.1 million occurring in 2006; an average of approximately $550,000 in principal per year from 2007 through 2009, with a balloon payment in the amount of $6.5 million occurring in 2009; during 2010, we are scheduled to repay approximately $250,000 in principal, with two balloon payments totaling of $11.4 million in 2010.

The property opened during the first quarter of 2005.
(c) As of December 31, 2004, we have committed to invest up to $3.5 million (none of which was funded as of December 31, 2004) in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in Sierra Medical Properties, LLC. This LLC also has a $7.5 million construction loan commitment.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2004, we are party to certain off balance sheet arrangements consisting of standby letters of credit and construction commitments. Our outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2004 totaled $15.3 million consisting of: (i) $1.3 million related to 653 Town Center, Phase II; (ii) $9.7 million related to Arlington Medical Properties, (iii) $1.5 million related to Spring Valley Medical Properties, and; (iv) $2.8 million related to Sierra Medical Properties. The $9.7 million letter of credit for Arlington Medical Properties is related to our construction commitment to Arlington Medical Properties, of which $1.8 million has been funded. The $2.8 million letter of credit for Sierra Medical Properties is related to our construction commitment to Sierra Medical Properties, none of which has been funded.

 

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

 

Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of domestic interest rates. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in domestic interest rates, a portion of our debt is fixed rate accomplished by entering into interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements are contracts that require us to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating interest rate over the life of the agreements. The floating-rates are based on LIBOR and the fixed-rates are determined upon commencement of the swap agreements. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes and we are not a party to any instruments with leverage features. We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to our financial instruments.

 

30


Table of Contents

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements which were designed to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate revolving credit notes. At December 31, 2004, we had two outstanding swap agreements having a total notional principal amount of $20 million which mature from July, 2006 through November, 2006. These swap agreements effectively fix the interest rate on $20 million of variable rate debt at 7.0% including the revolver spread of 1.00%. The interest rate swap agreements were entered into in anticipation of certain borrowing transactions made by us. Additional interest expense recorded as a result of our hedging activity, which is included in the effective interest rates shown above, was $1,106,000, $1,424,000 and $1,332,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements. These counterparties are major financial institutions and we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties which are rated A or better by Moody’s Investors Service. Termination of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2004 would have resulted in payments to the counterparties of approximately $1,059,000. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2004 reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay to terminate the contracts and are based on quotes from the counterparties. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we received a weighted average rate of 1.4%, 1.3% and 1.9% respectively, and paid a weighted average rate on our interest rate swap agreements of 7.0% in 2004 and 2003 and 6.4% in 2002 (including the revolver spread of 1.00% in 2004 and 2003 and 0.50% during 2002).

 

The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their 2004 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in an decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $814,000. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $1.3 million.

 

The table below presents information about our derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2004. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturity dates. For interest rate swap agreements, the table presents notional amounts by expected maturity date and weighted average interest rates based on rates in effect at December 31, 2004.

As of December 31, 2004, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management on a timely basis in order to comply with our disclosure obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the SEC rules thereunder.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting –

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting for the Trust. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Trust’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the COSO. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Universal Health Realty Income Trust:

 

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Universal Health Realty Income Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Universal Health Realty Income Trust’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Universal Health Realty Income Trust maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Universal Health Realty Income Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, and our report dated March 11, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Universal Health Realty Income Trust:

 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for the consolidation of variable interest entities effective March 31, 2004 to adopt the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Universal Health Realty Income Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 11, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2004

 

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

Universal Health Realty Income Trust and subsidiaries (the “Trust”) is organized as a Maryland real estate investment trust. We invest in healthcare and human service related facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral healthcare facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, sub-acute facilities, surgery centers, childcare centers and medical office buildings. As of December 31, 2004, we have forty-three real estate investments or commitments located in fifteen states consisting of:

 

    seven hospital facilities including four acute care, one behavioral healthcare, one rehabilitation and one sub-acute;

 

    thirty-two medical office buildings, and;

 

    four preschool and childcare centers.

 

Since we have significant investments in seven hospital facilities, which comprised 58%, 69% and 68% of net revenues in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, we are subject to certain industry risk factors which directly impact the operating results of our lessees. In recent years, an increasing number of legislative initiatives have been introduced or proposed in Congress and in state legislatures that would effect major changes in the healthcare system, either nationally or at the state level. In addition, the healthcare industry has been characterized in recent years by increased competition and consolidation. Five of our seven hospital facilities and all or a portion of five medical office buildings are leased to subsidiaries of Universal Health Services, Inc., (“UHS”).

 

Management is unable to predict the effect, if any, that the industry factors discussed above will have on the operating results of our lessees or on their ability to meet their obligations under the terms of their leases with us. In addition, we cannot predict whether any of the leases will be renewed on their current terms or at all. As a result, management’s estimate of future cash flows from our leased properties could be materially affected in the near term, if certain of the leases are not renewed at the end of their lease terms.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. Our revenues consist primarily of rentals received from tenants, which are comprised of minimum rent (base rentals), bonus rentals and reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of expenses such as common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and utilities.

 

The minimum rent for all hospital facilities is fixed over the initial term or renewal term of the respective leases. Minimum rent for other material leases is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. Bonus rents are recognized when earned based upon increases in each facility’s net revenue in excess of stipulated amounts. Bonus rentals are determined and paid each quarter based upon a computation that compares the respective facility’s current quarter’s revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, we had $290,000 and $451,000 in restricted cash accounts held by financial institutions to fund debt services and future capital additions.

Table of Contents

Real Estate Properties

 

We record acquired real estate at cost and use the straight-line method to calculate depreciation expense for buildings and improvements over their estimated useful lives of 25 to 45 years.

 

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” The Statement does not change the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121; however, it resolves various implementation issues of SFAS No. 121 and establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. It retains the requirement of Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations, and extends that reporting for all periods presented to a component of an entity that, subsequent to or on January 1, 2002, either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Additionally, SFAS No. 144 requires that assets and liabilities of components held for sale, if material, be disclosed separately in the balance sheet.

 

It is our policy to review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Generally, the estimated fair value will be determined using valuation techniques such as the present value of expected future cash flows. In assessing the carrying value of our real estate investments for possible impairment, management reviews estimates of future cash flows expected from each of our facilities and evaluates the creditworthiness of our lessees based on their current operating performance and on current industry conditions.

 

Investments in Limited Liability Companies (“LLCs”)

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment in the entity. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights”, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, which represent 33% to 98% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to and distributions from the investments.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation, as revised (“FIN 46R”), addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FIN 46R. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, we are the primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we began consolidating the results of operations of these three LLC investments. Included on our December 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheet are the: (i) assets; (ii) liabilities; (iii) third-party borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, and; (iv) minority interests, of these three LLC investments. Also as a consequence of FIN 46R, beginning on April 1, 2004, we began consolidating the results of operations of these LLC investments on our Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

Table of Contents

Rental income recorded at the LLCs relating to leases in excess of one year in length, is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. The amount of rental revenue resulting from straight-line rent adjustments is dependent on many factors including the nature and amount of any rental concessions granted to new tenants, scheduled rent increases under existing leases, as well as the acquisition and sales of properties that have existing in-place leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the straight-line adjustments to rental revenue may vary from period-to-period.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and intend to continue to remain so qualified. As such, we are exempt from Federal Income Taxes and we are required to distribute at least 90% of our real estate investment taxable income to our shareholders.

 

We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.

 

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for investment losses.

 

The aggregate cost basis and net book value of the properties for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2004 are approximately $200 million and $139 million, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

At December 31, 2004, we had two stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 8. We account for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations. No compensation cost is reflected in net income for most stock option grants as all options granted under the plan had an original exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.

 

In December, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment” which requires all companies to measure compensation cost for all share-based payments, including employee stock options, at fair value. Statement 123R replaces FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which was originally issued in 1995, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R is effective for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Retroactive application of the requirements of SFAS 123 (not SFAS 123R) to the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the effective date or for all periods presented would be permitted, but not required. We will be required to apply SFAS 123R beginning on July 1, 2005, which will be reflected in our financial statements for the quarter ending September 30, 2005. SFAS 123R is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Had we adopted SFAS 123, the additional stock-based compensation expense determined under a fair value method would have been $11,000 and $39,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Upon applying SFAS 123R on July 1, 2005, our reported net income will be reduced by approximately $3,000 for the six months ending December 31, 2005 based on options outstanding as of December 31, 2004.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. We recognize

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements are based on quoted market prices. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items have been excluded from the fair value disclosures included elsewhere in these notes to consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activity”, an Amendment of SFAS 133, require that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values.

 

On the date a derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as either a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be paid related to a recognized liability. For all hedging relationships we formally document the hedging relationship and our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash-flow hedges to specific liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.

 

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash-flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent that the derivative is effective as a hedge, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a derivative instrument that qualifies as a cash-flow hedge is reported in earnings.

 

We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative expires or is sold or terminated, the derivative is dedesignated as a hedging instrument because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur, a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

 

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, we continue to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value with subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings.

 

We manage our ratio of fixed to floating rate debt with the objective of achieving a mix that management believes is appropriate. To manage this mix in a cost-effective manner, from time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements, in which we agree to exchange various combinations of fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts. All of our cash flow hedges at December 31, 2004 relate to the payment of variable interest on existing or forecasted debt. The maximum amount of time over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is through November 2006.

 

(2) RELATIONSHIP WITH UHS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to the Trust under an Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986 between the Advisor and us (the “Advisory

 

49


Table of Contents

Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees that the Advisor’s performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement has been renewed for 2005. All transactions with UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees.

 

The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee equal to .60% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet from time to time. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to an annual incentive fee of 20% of the amount by which cash available for distribution to shareholders, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, for each year exceeds 15% of our equity as shown on our balance sheet, determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, without reduction for return of capital dividends. No incentive fees were payable during 2004, 2003 and 2002. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited consolidated financial statements.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the leases with UHS, UHS has the option to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms at the appraised market value. In addition, UHS has the rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer. The terms of the leases also provide that in the event UHS discontinues operations at the leased facility for more than one year, or elects to terminate its lease prior to the expiration of its term for prudent business reasons, UHS is obligated to offer a substitution property. If we do not accept the substitution property offered, UHS is obligated to purchase the leased facility back from us at a price equal to the greater of its then fair market value or the original purchase price paid by us. As of December 31, 2004, the aggregate fair market value of our facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS is not known, however, the aggregate original purchase price paid by us for these properties was $101.3 million (excluding Virtue Street Pavilion, as mentioned below). The purchase options and rights of first refusal granted to the respective lessees to purchase or lease the respective leased facilities, after the expiration of the lease term, may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease a facility, and may present a potential conflict of interest between us and UHS since the price and terms offered by a third-party are likely to be dependent, in part, upon the financial performance of the facility during the final years of the lease term.

 

Management cannot predict whether the leases with subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates, or any of our other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease terms. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates, we would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to us than the current leases.

 

As of December 31, 2004, subsidiaries of UHS leased five of the seven hospital facilities owned by us with terms expiring through 2009. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 51%, 60% and 59%, respectively, of our revenues were earned under the terms of the leases with wholly-owned hospital facilities of UHS. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%, the leases with wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS accounted for 27% during each of the years 2004, 2003 and 2002.

 

50


Table of Contents

The leases with subsidiaries of UHS are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another. Pursuant to the terms of our leases with subsidiaries of UHS, we earn fixed monthly base rents plus bonus rents based upon each facility’s net revenue in excess of base amounts. The bonus rents are computed and paid on a quarterly basis upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year.

 

Our officers are all employees of UHS and as of December 31, 2004, we had no salaried employees. At December 31, 2004, approximately 6.7% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest were held by UHS. We have granted UHS the option to purchase our shares in the future at fair market value to enable UHS to maintain a 5% interest in the Trust.

 

On December 31, 2004, we completed the sale of the real estate assets of Virtue Street Pavilion, located in Chalmette, Louisiana, to the former lessee of the facility, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the facility, the lessee exercised its option to purchase the facility at its fair market value upon the December, 2004 lease expiration. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the lease, independent appraisals were obtained by us and the lessee, which indicated that the fair market value of the property, and therefore the sale price, was $7,320,000. The sale resulted in a gain of $833,000 which is reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004. The annual minimum rent payable to us under the Virtue Street Pavilion lease with UHS was $1,261,000 and no bonus rent was earned on this facility during 2004, 2003 or 2002. As a result of the sale of the Virtue Street Pavilion, our future results of operations will likely be adversely affected since at interest rates as currently projected, the reduction in annual interest expense resulting from repayment of borrowings using the sale proceeds is likely to be approximately $1 million less than the annual rental payments previously earned by us pursuant to this lease.

 

The following table summarizes the results of operations for the Virtue Street Pavilion during 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

During the third quarter of 2004, the lease on The Bridgeway facility (lessee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS), which was scheduled to expire in December, 2004, was renewed for a five-year period through December, 2009, at the same lease terms.

 

During the third quarter of 2004, Wellington Regional Medical Center, our 121-bed acute care facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, sustained storm damage caused by a hurricane. This facility is leased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and pursuant to the terms of the lease, UHS is responsible for maintaining replacement cost property insurance for the facility, a substantial portion of which is insured by a commercial carrier. Although the facility has not experienced significant business interruption, our Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2004, includes a property write-down charge of $1.9 million representing the estimated net book value of the damaged assets. This property charge is offset by an equal amount recoverable from UHS. We expect the ultimate replacement cost of the damaged property to exceed the net book value and the excess cost will also be recoverable from UHS. As of December 31, 2004, UHS spent

 

51


Table of Contents

approximately $1.9 million to replace the damaged property and this amount is reflected as construction in progress on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of that date. During the first quarter of 2004, the lessee of this facility completed and financed an $8.5 million expansion to the facility in order to meet patient demand. Accordingly, since the bonus rent calculation on this facility is based on net revenues, pursuant to the terms of the lease, the lease was amended to exclude from the bonus rent calculation the estimated net revenues generated from the UHS-owned real estate assets (as calculated pursuant to a percentage based allocation determined at the time of expansion).

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003, we invested $1.6 million, and during 2004 we invested an additional $2.1 million and are committed to invest an additional $200,000, in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a limited liability company that acquired the Spring Valley Medical Office Building, a 60,000 square foot medical office building on the campus of Spring Valley Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. This MOB will be 75% master leased for five years by Valley Health System (“VHS”), a majority owned subsidiary of UHS, on a triple net basis. The master lease for each suite was extinguished at such time that the suite was leased to another tenant acceptable to us and VHS, for a minimum term of five years. As of December 31, 2004 letters of intent or lease agreements have been executed on more than 82% of the rentable space of this MOB, therefore the master lease arrangement has been extinguished.

 

During the third quarter of 2003 we invested $8.9 million and an additional $600,000 during the fourth quarter of 2004 (combined totals $3.0 million in equity and a $6.5 million of debt financing, which was repaid to us during the first quarter of 2005) for the purchase of a 98% non-controlling equity interest in a limited liability company that simultaneously purchased the 700 Shadow Lane & Goldring MOBs, consisting of three medical office buildings on the campus of Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. These medical office buildings were purchased from VHS and have tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.

 

The lessee of Chalmette Medical Center, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, exercised its renewal option and extended the lease on this facility for a five-year term to 2008. The renewal rate was based upon the then five-year Treasury rate plus a spread. As a result, beginning at the end of March, 2003, the annual base rental on this facility was reduced by $270,000 from $1,230,000 to $960,000.

 

In July, 2002, the operations of Inland Valley Regional Medical Center (“Inland Valley”) were merged with the operations of Rancho Springs Medical Center (“Rancho Springs”), an acute care hospital located in California and also operated by UHS, the real estate assets of which are not owned by us. Inland Valley, our lessee, was merged into Universal Health Services of Rancho Springs, Inc. The merged entity is now doing business as Southwest Healthcare System (“Southwest Healthcare”). As a result of merging the operations of the two facilities, the revenues of Southwest Healthcare include the revenues of both Inland Valley and Rancho Springs. Although we do not own the real estate assets of the Rancho Springs facility, Southwest Healthcare became the lessee on the lease relating to the real estate assets of the Inland Valley campus. Since the bonus rent calculation for the Inland Valley campus is based on net revenues and the financial results of the two facilities are no longer separable, the lease was amended during 2002 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation, the estimated net revenues generated at the Rancho Springs campus. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, the consolidation of the two facilities as mentioned above, had on the underlying value of Inland Valley.

 

(3) ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

 

2005 — During the first quarter of 2005, Bayway Properties, a LLC in which we owned a 73% non- controlling ownership interest, sold the real estate assets of the East Mesa Medical Center, which is located in Mesa, Arizona. Our share of the net sale proceeds resulting from this transaction was $2.9 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million which will be included in our results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2005.

 

52


Table of Contents

2004 — We invested a total of $4.2 million in the following (consisting of $2.8 million of investments in LLCs and $1.4 million of net advances made to LLCs):

 

    $2.1 million funded in connection with the purchase of a 95% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that owns the Spring Valley Medical Office Building located in Las Vegas, Nevada (the LLC also obtained a $4.0 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $830,000 additional net loan funded in connection with a total commitment of up to $10.5 million by us (consisting of $8.0 million in equity and $2.5 million in debt financing) in exchange for a 75% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that is constructing and owns the the St. Mary’s Center for Health located in Reno, Nevada, which opened in the first quarter of 2005 (the LLC also obtained a $26 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $600,000 additional net loan funded in connection with the purchase of a 98% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that simultaneously purchased three medical office buildings on the campus of Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and;

 

    $700,000 of additional investments in various LLCs in which we own a non-controlling equity interest.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2004, we committed to invest a total of up to $3.5 million (none of which was funded as of December 31, 2004) in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a LLC that will develop, construct, own and operate the Sierra San Antonio Medical Plaza located in Fontana, California. This LLC, which is expected to open in late 2005, also has a $7.5 million third-party construction loan commitment.

 

On December 31, 2004, we completed the sale of the real estate assets of Virtue Street Pavilion, located in Chalmette, Louisiana, to the former lessee of the facility, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS. Pursuant to the terms of the lease on the facility, the lessee exercised its option to purchase the facility at its fair market value upon the December, 2004 lease expiration. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the lease, independent appraisals were obtained by us and the lessee, which indicated that the fair market value of the property, and therefore the sale price, was $7,320,000. The sale resulted in a gain of $833,000 which is reflected as “Income from discontinued operations, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

 

During the second quarter of 2004, Parkvale Properties sold the real property of Parkvale Medical Building which is located in Phoenix, Arizona. Our share of the net sale proceeds resulting from this transaction was $950,000 which is included as a gain on sale of real property in our results of operations for 2004, since the carrying value of this investment was reduced to zero in a prior year.

 

2003 — We invested a total of $16.2 million in the following (consisting of $9.3 million of investments in LLCs and $6.9 million of net advances made to LLCs):

 

    $1.2 million invested for the purchase of a 85% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that owns a medical office building in Apache Junction, Arizona (the LLC also obtained a $3.0 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $1.6 million invested (and an additional $2.3 million committed, of which $2.1 million was funded during 2004) in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a LLC that owns the Spring Valley Medical Office Building located in Las Vegas, Nevada (the LLC also obtained a $4.0 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $8.9 million during 2003 (and an additional $600,000 funded during 2004) consisting of $3.0 million in equity and a $6.5 million loan (this loan was fully repaid to us during the first quarter of 2005), invested for the purchase of a 98% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that simultaneously purchased three medical office buildings on the campus of Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada;

 

53


Table of Contents
    $1.0 million net loan funded in connection with a total commitment of up to $10.5 million by us (consisting of $8.0 million in equity and $2.5 million in debt financing) in exchange for a 75% non-controlling interest in a LLC that will construct and own the St. Mary’s Center for Health located in Reno, Nevada;

 

    $2.0 million funded in connection with the purchase of a 85% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that constructed and owns the Rosenberg Children’s Medical Plaza, a medical office building that was opened in February, 2003 (the LLC also obtained a $7.5 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us), and;

 

    $1.5 million of additional investments in various LLCs in which we own a non-controlling equity interest.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003, 23650 Madison and PacPal Investments, two LLCs in which we owned 95% non-controlling ownership interests, sold the real estate assets of Skypark Professional Medical Building and Pacifica Palms Medical Plaza, respectively, both of which are located in Torrance, California. Our share of the combined net sales proceeds resulting from these transactions was $6.3 million. The cash proceeds for both of these sales was held in escrow by a like-kind-exchange agent in anticipation of possibly completing like-kind-exchange transactions during 2004. During the second quarter of 2004, we received the restricted proceeds totaling $6.4 million, as the like-kind-exchange transaction did not occur. These transactions resulted in a combined gain of $2.5 million which is included in our 2003 results of operations. Also during 2003, we received $365,000 from Parkvale Properties, a LLC in which we own a 60% non-controlling ownership interest, representing our share of the net sale proceeds from the sale of Palo Verde Medical Center, a medical office building located in Phoenix, Arizona. This sale resulted in a gain of $365,000, which is included in our 2003 results of operations, since the carrying value of this investment was reduced to zero in a prior year.

 

2002 — We invested a total of $5.3 million in the following:

 

    $3.1 million invested in a LLC, in which we own a 90% non-controlling equity interest, that constructed the Deer Valley Medical Office II located in Phoenix, Arizona (the LLC also obtained a $7.0 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us);

 

    $200,000 invested (of the $2.6 million commitment) for the purchase of a 85% non-controlling equity interest in a LLC that constructed and owns the Rosenberg Children’s Medical Plaza, a medical office building that was opened in February, 2003 (the LLC also obtained a $7.5 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us), and;

 

    $2.0 million of additional investments in various LLCs in which we own a non-controlling equity interest.

 

Also during 2002, we received $2.6 million of cash for our share of the proceeds generated from the sale of the real estate assets of Samaritan West Valley Medical Center located in Goodyear, Arizona. The transaction resulted in a gain of $1.2 million which is included in our 2002 results of operations. This sale completed the like-kind exchange transaction whereby the LLC in which we own an 89% non-controlling equity interest, acquired the real estate assets during 2001 of Papago Medical Park located in Phoenix, Arizona in exchange for cash and the real estate assets of Samaritan West Valley Medical Center located in Goodyear, Arizona.

 

(4) LEASES

 

All of our leases are classified as operating leases with initial terms ranging from 3 to 20 years with up to five, five-year renewal options. Under the terms of the leases, we earn fixed monthly base rents and pursuant to the leases with subsidiaries of UHS, we may earn periodic bonus rents (see Note 1). The bonus rents from the subsidiaries of UHS, which are based upon each facility’s net revenue in excess of base amounts, are computed and paid on a quarterly basis based upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. Minimum rent for other material leases is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due.

Under the terms of the hospital leases, the lessees are required to pay all operating costs of the properties including property insurance and real estate taxes. Tenants of the medical office buildings generally are required to pay their pro-rata share of the property’s operating costs.

 

(5) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

 

We use variable-rate debt to finance a portion of our operations and investments. These variable-rate debt obligations expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of our interest payments. To meet this objective, management enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. These swaps change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, we receive variable interest rate payments and make fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt.

 

At December 31, 2004, we had two outstanding swap agreements for notional principal amounts of $20 million which mature from July 2006 through November 2006. These swap agreements effectively fix the interest rate on $20 million of variable rate debt at 7.0% including the revolver spread of 1.00%. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements. These counterparties are major financial institutions and we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties which are rated A or better by Moody’s Investors Service. Termination of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2004 would have resulted in payments to the counterparties of approximately $1,059,000. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2004 reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay to terminate the contracts and are based on quotes from the counterparties.

 

Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate debt obligations are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. These amounts subsequently are reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we recorded additional interest expense of $1,106,000, $1,424,000 and $1,332,000, respectively, as a result of our hedging activity.

 

Operating results for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 include net (gains)/losses of ($124,000), ($10,000) and $217,000, respectively, representing cash flow hedge ineffectiveness arising from differences between the critical terms of the interest rate swap and the hedged debt obligation when it affects earnings.

 

As of December 31, 2004, $649,000 of deferred losses on derivative instruments in other accumulated comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. There was one $10 million cash flow hedge discontinued during 2004 and none discontinued in 2003 or 2002.

(6) DEBT

 

We have an unsecured $80 million revolving credit agreement (the “Agreement”) which expires on May 27, 2007. We have a one time option, which can be exercised at any time, subject to bank approval, to increase the amount by $20 million for a total commitment of $100 million. The Agreement provides for interest at our option, at the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% to 1.40% or the prime rate plus zero to .40%. A fee of .25% to .35% is paid on the unused portion of this commitment. The margins over the Eurodollar rate, prime rate and the commitment fee are based upon our debt to total capital ratio as defined by the Agreement. At December 31, 2004, the applicable margin over the Eurodollar rate was 1.00% and the commitment fee was .25%. At December 31, 2004, we had $15.3 million of letters of credit outstanding against the Agreement. There are no compensating balance requirements. The Agreement contains a provision whereby the commitments will be reduced by 50% of the proceeds generated from any new equity offering. The average amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement were $26.4 million in 2004, $28.3 million in 2003 and $25.3 million in 2002 with corresponding effective interest rates, including commitment fees and interest rate swap expense, of 7.0% in 2004, 7.6% in 2003 and 8.1% in 2002. The carrying value of the amounts borrowed approximates fair market value. At December 31, 2004, we had approximately $44.7 million of available borrowing capacity under this agreement.

 

Covenants relating to the revolving credit facility require the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and specified financial ratios, limit our ability to incur additional debt, limit the aggregate amount of mortgage receivables and limit our ability to increase dividends in excess of 95% of cash available for distribution, unless additional distributions are required to comply with the applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations governing real estate investment trusts. We are in compliance with all their covenants at December 31, 2004. The carrying value of this instrument approximates fair value.

 

We have four mortgages, which are non-recourse to us, included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004, with a combined outstanding balance of $26.2 million. The mortgages carry various interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.3% and have maturity dates ranging from 2006 through 2010. The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. These mortgages have a combined fair value of approximately $28.5 million as of December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2003, we had one mortgage, which is non-recourse to us, included in our Consolidated Balance Sheet with an outstanding balance of $4.2 million. This mortgage had a fair value of $4.8 million as of December 31, 2003. Changes in market rates on our fixed rate debt impacts the fair value of debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. We are scheduled to repay an average of approximately $660,000 in principal per year through 2006, with a balloon payment in the amount of $5.1 million occurring in 2006; an average of approximately $550,000 in principal per year from 2007 through 2009, with a balloon payment in the amount of $6.5 million occurring in 2009; during 2010, we are scheduled to repay approximately $250,000 in principal, with two balloon payments totaling of $11.4 million in 2010.

(7) DIVIDENDS

 

Dividends of $2.00 per share were declared and paid in 2004, of which $1.753 per share was ordinary income and $.247 per share was a capital gain distribution. Dividends of $1.96 per share were declared and paid during 2003, of which $1.82 per share was ordinary income, $.137 per share was a capital gain distribution and $.003 per share was a return of capital distribution. Dividends of $1.92 per share were declared and paid in 2002, of which $1.86 per share was ordinary income and $.06 per share was a return of capital distribution.

 

(8) INCENTIVE PLANS

 

During 1997, our Board of Trustees approved the Universal Health Realty Income Trust 1997 Incentive Plan (“The Plan”), a stock option and dividend equivalents rights plan for employees of the Trust, including officers and trustees. A combined total of 400,000 shares and dividend equivalent rights have been reserved for issuance under The Plan. From inception through December 31, 2004, there have been 123,000 stock options with dividend equivalent rights granted to eligible individuals, including officers and trustees. All stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of the grant. The options granted vest ratably at 25% per year beginning one year after the date of grant, and expire in ten years. Dividend equivalent rights effectively reduce the exercise price of the 1997 Incentive Plan options by an amount equal to the cash or stock dividends distributed subsequent to the date of grant. We recorded expenses relating to the dividend equivalent rights of $192,000 in 2004, $199,000 in 2003 and $197,000 in 2002. As of December 31, 2004, there were 87,250 options exercisable under The Plan with an average exercise price of $18.11 per share (average exercise price, adjusted to give effect to the dividend equivalent rights is $5.99 per share).

 

In 1991, the Trustees adopted a share compensation plan for Trustees who are neither employees nor officers of the Trust (“Outside Trustees”). There are 40,000 shares reserved for issuance under this plan. Pursuant to the plan, each Outside Trustee may elect to receive, in lieu of all or a portion of the quarterly cash compensation for services as a Trustee, shares of the Trust based on the closing price of the shares on the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2004, no shares have been issued under the terms of this plan.

 

As discussed in Note 1, we account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method in APB No. 25, as permitted under SFAS 123. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions used for the five option grants that occurred in 2004, 2003 and 2002:

(9) Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment in the entity. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights”, we account for our investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, which represent 33% to 98% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to and distributions from the investments.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation, as revised (“FIN 46R”), addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. Effective March 31, 2004, we adopted FIN 46R. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own a 98% or 99% non-controlling ownership interest, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are the primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we began consolidating the results of operations of these three LLC investments. Included on our December 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheet are the: (i) assets; (ii) liabilities; (iii) third-party borrowings, which are non-recourse to us, and; (iv) minority interests, of these three LLC investments. Also as a consequence of FIN 46R, beginning on April 1, 2004, we began consolidating the results of operations of these LLC investments on our Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

Table of Contents

Rental income recorded at the LLCs relating to leases in excess of one year in length, is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. The amount of rental revenue resulting from straight-line rent adjustments is dependent on many factors including the nature and amount of any rental concessions granted to new tenants, scheduled rent increases under existing leases, as well as the acquisition and sales of properties that have existing in-place leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the straight-line adjustments to rental revenue may vary from period-to-period.

 

Since January 1, 1995 through December 31, 2004, we have invested $65.5 million of cash (including advances to various LLCs) in LLCs in which we own various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 99% (consolidated and unconsolidated), before reductions for cash distributions received from the LLCs. As of December 31, 2004, short-term unsecured advances aggregated $8.4 million from two LLCs, $6.5 million of which was repaid to us in March, 2005.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we had investments or commitments in nineteen limited liability companies (“LLCs”) which are accounted for by the equity method and three that were consolidated in the results of operations as of April 1, 2004. The following table represents summarized unaudited financial information related to the LLCs which were accounted for under the equity method:

(a.) During the first quarter of 2005, Bayway Properties, a LLC in which we owned a 73% non-controlling ownership interest, sold the real estate assets of the East Mesa Medical Center, which is located in Mesa, Arizona. Our share of the net sale proceeds resulting from this transaction was $2.9 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million which will be included in our results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2005
(b.) Tenants of this medical office building include subsidiaries of UHS.
(c.) We have committed to invest a total of up to $10.5 million ($8.0 million in equity and $2.5 million in debt financing) in exchange for a 75% non-controlling interest in a LLC that constructed and owns the Saint Mary’s Center for Health located in Reno, Nevada. As of December 31, 2004, we have advanced $1.8 million in connection with this project, and the LLC has borrowed $18.3 million in construction loans from a $26 million total construction loan commitment. This medical office building opened in March of 2005.

(d.) We have committed to invest a total of up to $3.5 million in equity in exchange for a 95% non-controlling interest in a LLC that will develop, construct, own and operate the Sierra San Antonio Medical Plaza located in Fontana, California. As of December 31, 2004, we have not invested any equity in connection with this project. The LLC has a $7.5 million total construction loan commitment. This project is scheduled to be completed and opened during the fourth quarter of 2005.
