FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
General
The Company is a self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, acquires, develops, manages and leases health care properties. The Companys business currently consists of investments, made either directly or through joint ventures, in medical office buildings (MOB). All of the Companys assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, G&L Realty Partnership, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) or its subsidiaries. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on September 15, 1993, and is controlled by its principal executive officers, Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz.
Recent Developments
On November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are the sole common stockholders of the Company. In total, skilled nursing and assisted living assets having a net equity of $9.03 million, derived from current independent property appraisals less the existing property debt, have been spun-off to these stockholders. At the time of the spin-off, these assets were held by the Companys consolidated subsidiary, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, and the spin-off was effectuated by a distribution of the Companys membership interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. In addition to these skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC had cash of approximately $2 million, and indebtedness to the Company of $6 million as of the effective date of the spin-off. Accordingly, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC at the time of the spin-off, had a net asset value (based on fair market valuations of its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities) of approximately $5.03 million.
Following the spin-off, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC is now owned and managed primarily by Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz, the CEO and President, respectively, of the Company. Due to the substantial management overlap between the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, the two companies have entered into a cost sharing agreement to allocate between them each year the general and administrative costs of the two companies. Management estimates that, at the current time, the skilled nursing facility and the assisted care living facility assets now owned by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, account for approximately 65% of the general and administrative costs of the two companies.
The Company continues to hold two promissory notes issued by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a short term promissory note in the amount of $2 million and a long term promissory note in the amount of $4 million, each bearing interest at the rate of 10.75% per annum, and will for some time continue to be a creditor of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. The short term promissory note has a term of six months, interest only payable monthly, and is unsecured. The long term promissory note has a term of 12 years, provides for flat monthly payments of interest and principal on a 25 year amortization basis, with a balloon payment of $3.32 million at the end of the term, and is secured by the interests of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC in the various special purpose entities through which it holds its interest in its skilled nursing facility and assisted care living facility assets.
Description of Business
The Companys MOB business strategy is to acquire, develop, manage and lease a portfolio of medical office buildings. The Company currently seeks growth opportunities mainly in Southern California through acquisition and development of additional MOBs directly or through strategic joint ventures. The MOB portfolio currently consists of approximately 785,000 rentable square feet. The Company directly owns 17 high quality MOBs, an adjacent parking facility and one office and retail facility. In addition, the Company owns four additional MOBs through joint ventures (collectively, the MOB Properties). All of the MOB Properties are located in California. Several of the MOB Properties include retail space on the ground level. As of January 31, 2005, the MOB Properties were 97.8% leased.
1
As part of its overall business strategy, the Company develops MOBs either directly or through joint ventures. As part of its development strategy, the Company may develop non-core assets which are sold after the assets are stabilized. The non-core assets are typically developed in connection with the development of healthcare properties. The Company has a long history of successful developments and believes that it can achieve growth through a combination of development and acquisition.
Financing for the Companys development and acquisition activities may be provided through existing or new joint ventures with third parties or third-party financing in the form of secured or unsecured debt or through selective asset sales. The Companys capacity to obtain debt financing facilitates its ability to acquire ownership interests in additional MOBs. The Company and its investment affiliates will likely incur additional indebtedness in connection with future acquisitions. However, notwithstanding any business policies or objectives of the Company, no assurance can be given that the Company, or its investment affiliates, will be able to make acquisitions on favorable terms or that such properties will be profitably operated.
The Company has determined to sell certain of its properties and, in 2004, sold an 80-unit assisted living facility located in Tarzana, California; a 48,000 square foot research and development building located in Irwindale, California which was originally an MOB that the Company converted to a research and development building when the MOB tenant vacated the building; a 10,000 square foot MOB located in Tustin, California; a 59-bed SNF located in Chico, California; and an 80-unit assisted living facility located in Yorba Linda, California. On March 24, 2005, the Company sold a 47,000 square foot office and retail center located in Coronado, California. The proceeds from these sales may be used to acquire or develop additional healthcare properties, retire debt or preferred stock, for general corporate purposes and/or to make distributions to common stockholders.
The health care industry is facing various challenges, including increased government and private payor pressure to reduce medical delivery costs. Substantially all of the Companys tenants are in the medical profession and could be or have been adversely affected by the new Medicare prospective payment system, cost containment and other health care reform proposals. Any future proposals that limit access to medical care or reduce reimbursement for physicians services may also impact the ability of the Companys tenants to pay rent. However, the Company believes that the aging population in the United States, combined with other recent trends in the health care industry, such as the performance of non-acute procedures outside of hospitals, could spur increased demand for space in full service MOBs that contain surgery centers and out-patient facilities, such as those owned by the Company.
Property Management
The Company provides a full range of management services for the operation of MOBs. The ability of the Company to manage MOBs to meet the unique needs of medical practitioners has been critical to its success. The Company has experienced lease renewal rates of approximately 88.4%, 79.7% and 85.9% for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, in the MOB Properties. Developing and managing MOBs differs from developing and managing general office properties due to the special requirements of the tenants and their patients. MOBs generally have higher maintenance requirements, increased plumbing and electrical capacity requirements and are subject to expanded environmental regulations due to stringent restrictions on the disposal of medical waste. The management of MOBs also generally requires experience in specialized tenant improvements and higher levels of responsiveness required by medical practitioners. Additional important management functions include the placement of tenants within MOBs to accommodate increased space needs and managing the tenant mix at properties in order to facilitate referrals by practitioners with different specialties within the building. The Company stresses meeting these and other special demands of medical property tenants.
Tax Status
The Company believes that it has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and the Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As long as the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT under the Code, the Company generally will not be taxed at the corporate level. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income
2
tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
Employees
As of March 31, 2005, the Company employed 28 persons, 12 of whom are on-site building employees who provide maintenance services for the MOB Properties and 5 of whom are professional employees engaged in leasing, asset management and administration.
Dependence on Key Tenants
The tenant mix at the Companys MOBs typically consist of several smaller tenancies rather than one or two large tenancies. As of December 31, 2004, no MOB tenant accounted for more than 2% of the Companys total revenues. Although no MOB tenant accounts for more than 2% of the Companys total revenues, the risks associated with smaller tenants include (i) less creditworthiness, (ii) greater potential tenant turnover and (iii) increased property management needs.
Government Regulation
Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in its property. These laws impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of any hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect the owners ability to borrow using the real estate as collateral and may subject the owner to material remediation costs. All of the MOB Properties have been subject to Phase I environmental assessments (which involve inspection of the subject property, but no soil sampling or groundwater analysis) by independent environmental consultants. Although restricted in scope, these independent assessments revealed no material evidence of existing environmental liability, and the Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any noncompliance by, liability for, or other claim against the Company in connection with environmental matters related to the MOB Properties. While the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, assets or results of operations, no assurance can be given that the environmental assessments revealed all potential environmental liabilities or that a prior owner did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company or that future uses or conditions (including changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations) will not result in imposition of environmental liability.
The independent environmental assessments include selective sampling for asbestos where the age of the buildings or the types of materials warranted such sampling. Limited quantities of non-friable asbestos are present in some of the Companys properties. Management believes that it has undertaken adequate measures to ensure that the asbestos will remain undisturbed and that it does not pose a current health risk. Management plans to continue to monitor this situation.
Physicians generate medical waste in the normal course of their practice. The Companys leases require the individual tenants to make arrangements for the disposal of medical waste and require all tenants to provide proof that they have contracted with a third party service to remove waste from the premises each night. The handling and disposal of this waste is the responsibility of the tenants; however, the Company remains responsible as the owner of the property. There can be no assurance that all such medical waste will be properly handled and disposed of or that the Company will not incur costs in connection with improper disposal of medical waste by its tenants.
Healthcare Industry Regulation. Physicians are subject to heavy government regulation including the determination of the level of reimbursements for medical costs incurred and services provided under government programs. Changes in government regulations regarding medical reimbursements and other regulations affecting the healthcare industry can have a dramatic impact on the operations of medical practitioners under government programs. Both the federal government and many state governments are exploring numerous reforms concerning the healthcare industry that could have a significant impact on many healthcare-related businesses. If legislation were
3
enacted that decreased the level of government medical reimbursements or increased the degree of regulatory oversight, thereby increasing the expenses of healthcare businesses, the Companys tenant base could be adversely affected. This, in turn, could negatively impact the ability of the Company to make distributions.
Americans with Disabilities Act. All of the MOB Properties are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers and noncompliance could result in imposition of fines by the federal government or an award of damages to private litigants. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with the ADA and that it will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. If required changes involve a greater expenditure than the Company currently anticipates, the Companys ability to make distributions could be adversely affected.
The MOB Properties consist of 17 high quality MOBs directly owned by the Company, four MOBs indirectly-owned by the Company through joint ventures, an adjacent parking facility and an office and retail facility. As of January 31, 2005, the MOB Properties were 97.8% leased to 418 tenants. The Companys MOB tenants are primarily established medical practitioners representing a cross section of medical practices.
Description of the MOB Properties
The Company, through its MOB operations, acquires, develops, manages and leases MOBs, a parking facility and a retail facility. Developing and managing MOBs differs from developing and managing conventional office buildings due to the special requirements of physicians and their patients. Doctors now perform a variety of medical procedures in their offices, and as a result, many MOBs have become sophisticated ambulatory centers that allow for outpatient surgery and procedures. In addition, the public areas of MOBs generally have higher maintenance requirements due to heavy foot traffic generated by typically relatively short patient visits. The use of sophisticated medical equipment typically requires the MOBs to provide increased plumbing and electrical capacity and expanded environmental regulations impose more stringent restrictions on the disposal of medical waste than applicable to other commercial office buildings. The management of MOBs generally requires experience in specialized tenant improvements and higher levels of responsiveness required by medical practitioners. Additional important management functions include the placement and relocation of tenants to accommodate increased space needs and managing the tenant mix to facilitate referrals by practitioners with different specialties within the building.

The following tables set forth certain information regarding each of the MOB Properties as of January 31, 2005. All of the MOB Properties are held in fee by the Company or, in the case of jointly-owned properties, by a joint venture partnership or limited liability company. Except as noted below, the Company owns 100% of each property.

The Company has generally enjoyed strong lease renewals, achieving a weighted average renewal rate of approximately 88.4% on MOB leases that expired during 2004. Although there can be no assurance that this renewal level will be maintained, the Company believes this high renewal rate is due in part to the tendency of medical practitioners to continue to practice in the same space over a number of years. Also, the Companys tenants frequently invest large sums of money in equipment and fixtures for their offices. Furthermore, relocating a doctors office can be disruptive to the patients who are familiar with the doctors office location.
Senior Care Loans
From 1995 through 1999, the Company was in the business of originating loans secured by healthcare properties. Since 1999, the Company has made no secured loans and has exited the business of originating loans. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had nine loans outstanding that total approximately $10.2 million before reserves of $2.9 million. Management believes that $2.9 million is appropriate in relation to the status of the loans in the Companys portfolio as of March 31, 2005.
Notes Receivable from Stockholders
The Company holds two unsecured promissory notes originally totaling $5.24 million payable by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, the Companys chief executive officer and president, respectively, and the owners of 100% of the Companys outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2004, all accrued interest had been paid and the outstanding principal balance on the notes was $5.11 million.
Insurance
The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to the MOB Properties. There are certain types of losses that may either be uninsurable or not economically insurable; moreover, there can be no assurance that policies maintained by the Company will be adequate in the event of a loss. The Company carries earthquake and flood insurance for coverage of losses up to $50 million on the MOB Properties, which amount represents approximately 53% of the net book value of these properties. This coverage is subject to a 10% deductible up to the amount of insured loss. All of the properties directly or indirectly owned by the Company are located in Southern California, which has a history of seismic activity, including the 1994 Northridge earthquake that damaged the Holy Cross Medical Plaza property. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose its investment in, and anticipated earnings and cash flow from, a property.
There is no material pending litigation to which the Company or its consolidated or unconsolidated subsidiaries is a defendant or to which any of their properties is subject other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, most, if not all, of which is expected to be covered by insurance, except as discussed below.
There were a number of common stockholder class actions pending against the Company and its directors that arose out of the proposal by Daniel M. Gottlieb, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Steven D. Lebowitz, the President of the Company, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock not then owned by them. The first suit, Lukoff v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number BC 241251, was filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, on December 4, 2000. A second suit, Abrons v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number 24-C-00-006109, was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, on December 14, 2000. This suit was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on June 7, 2001, and refiled
9
in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, case number BC 251479, on May 31, 2001. Morse v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number 221719-V, was filed in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, on May 17, 2001. Another suit, Harbor Finance Partners v. Daniel M. Gottlieb et al., case number BC 251593, was filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, on June 1, 2001. All these actions asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duty and seek compensatory damages and other relief. The Lukoff, Abrons and Harbor Finance actions were consolidated for all purposes, with Lukoff designated as the lead action. The Morse action was stayed pending the conclusion of the California class actions.
In addition, on April 4, 2002, a group of four former common stockholders of the Company filed an individual suit against the Company and its directors arising from the same conduct alleged in the putative class actions and the merger proposals made by those four stockholders in 2001. Lyle Weisman, et al. v. G & L Realty Corp., et al., case number BC 271401, asserted claims against the individual directors for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and violations of the California Corporations Code, sections 25400-25403 and 25500-25502. The fourth amended complaint also asserted a claim for unjust enrichment against Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz and a claim for unfair competition under Business and Professions Code sections 17200 et seq. against Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz and the Company. The Court previously dismissed with prejudice Plaintiffs claims for negligent and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. The Weisman suit was consolidated with the Lukoff class actions for purposes of discovery.
The Company and the director defendants reached a settlement of the California class actions in June 2004 providing for a class settlement and release of claims and entry of judgment dismissing the action with prejudice. The Company and the director defendants, in June 2004, also reached a settlement of the Weisman suit also providing for a release of claims and entry of judgment dismissing the action with prejudice. The total payment in settlement of these suits was $1.25 million, of which approximately $1 million was paid from insurance.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Until October 29, 2001, the Companys Common Stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol GLR. On October 29, 2001, the Company completed a merger with G & L Acquisition, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, substantially on the terms provided for in the Agreement of Plan and Merger, dated as of May 10, 2001, as amended, by and between the Company and G & L Acquisition, LLC (the Merger). G & L Acquisition, LLC is owned by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company. Upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Companys Common Stock, other than a portion of the shares held by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, was converted into the right to receive $13.00 in cash, without interest. After completion of the Merger, the Companys Common Stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. There is no established public trading market for the Companys common stock. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had two holders of its Common Stock.
In September 2004, the Companys board of directors classified and designated 200,000 authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock as Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Companys currently outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and 200,000 authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock as Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Companys currently outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. The board of directors then authorized the exchange of the 90,797 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 102,290 shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, respectively. On December 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase by the
10
Company of the 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for $4.44 million. The purchase price of $23.00 a share represented a 13% and 9% discount, respectively, to the market price of the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at the time. The Series C and Series D Preferred Stock rank on a parity with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and share pari passu in dividends and at liquidation. The Company completed the repurchase on December 30, 2004.
During 2004, the Company hired an investment banking firm to advise it on the possible issuance of a new series of preferred stock, the proceeds of which would have been used, in significant part, to redeem the Companys outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. On November 29, 2004, the Company issued a press release announcing the termination of its efforts to refinance its outstanding preferred stock because the front end costs of such a refinancing would have outweighed the potential benefits derived. Although the Company terminated its effort to refinance its currently outstanding preferred stock, the Company is constantly seeking to reduce its overall cost of capital and may revive such efforts in the future.
During 2004 and 2003, the Company paid cash common stock dividends of $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2004, $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2003 and $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2003. The Company also paid a property common stock dividend valued at $3.1 million for tax purposes in the fourth quarter of 2004 in connection with the spin off of its senior care properties.
The Company paid monthly dividends to holders of the Companys Series A (GLRPRA) and Series B (GLRPRB) Preferred Stock on the fifteenth day of each month. Dividends are paid monthly at the rate of $2.56 and $2.45 per annum on shares of the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, respectively. Distributions on the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are senior to all classes of the Companys Common Stock. Subsequent to the Merger, the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock is still outstanding and traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Selected Financial Data and the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Information contained in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, estimate or continue or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Any one factor or combination of factors could cause the Companys actual operating performance or financial results to differ substantially from those anticipated by management. Factors influencing the Companys operating performance and financial results include, but are not limited to, changes in the general
12
economy, the supply of, and demand for, healthcare related real estate in markets in which the Company has investments, the availability of financing, governmental regulations concerning, but not limited to, new construction and development, the creditworthiness of tenants and borrowers, environmental issues, healthcare services and government participation in the financing thereof, and other risks and unforeseen circumstances affecting the Companys investments which may be discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Developments
On November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are the sole common stockholders of the Company. In total, skilled nursing and assisted living assets having a net equity of $9.03 million, derived from current independent property appraisals less the existing property debt, have been spun-off to these stockholders. At the time of the spin-off, these assets were held by the Companys consolidated subsidiary, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, and the spin-off was effectuated by a distribution of the Companys membership interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. In addition to these skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC had cash of approximately $2 million, and indebtedness to the Company of $6 million as of the effective date of the spin-off. Accordingly, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC at the time of the spin-off, had a net asset value (based on fair market valuations of its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities) of approximately $5.03 million.
Following the spin-off, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC is now owned and managed primarily by Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz, the CEO and President, respectively, of the Company. Due to the substantial management overlap between the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, the two companies have entered into a cost sharing agreement to allocate between them each year the general and administrative costs of the two companies. Management estimates that, at the current time, the skilled nursing facility and the assisted care living facility assets now owned by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, account for approximately 65% of the general and administrative costs of the two companies.
The Company continues to hold two promissory notes issued by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a short term promissory note in the amount of $2 million and a long term promissory note in the amount of $4 million, each bearing interest at the rate of 10.75% per annum, and will for some time continue to be a creditor of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. The short term promissory note has a term of six months, interest only payable monthly, and is unsecured. The long term promissory note has a term of 12 years, provides for flat monthly payments of interest and principal on a 25 year amortization basis, with a balloon payment of $3.32 million at the end of the term, and is secured by the interests of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC in the various special purpose entities through which it holds its interest in its skilled nursing facility and assisted care living facility assets.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition. The majority of the Companys revenues results from rents from operating leases. Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are due. Certain leases include rent concessions and escalation clauses creating an effective rent that is included in unbilled rent receivable. The remaining source of the Companys revenue is from patient revenue derived from its operation of three skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) located in Massachusetts. Patient revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from patients, third party payors and others for services rendered, net of contractual adjustments. Since April 1, 2004, the Company no longer holds the operating licenses for the three SNFs located in Massachusetts and no longer derives any revenue from patients.
Allowances for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable. Tenant rents and reimbursements receivable, unbilled rent receivable and mortgage loans and bonds receivable are carried net of the allowances for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable. Managements determination of the adequacy of these allowances requires significant judgments and estimates. Tenant rents and reimbursements receivable consist of amounts due for contractual lease payments and reimbursements for common area maintenance, property taxes, insurance and other expenses due from tenants. Management regularly reviews its tenant receivables and adjusts the allowance based on specific identification, in managements opinion, of an individual tenants ability to pay its obligations under the terms of its lease. Unbilled rent receivable consists of the cumulative straight-line rental income recorded to date
13
that exceeds the actual amounts billed to date under the Companys lease agreements. Based on historical loss experience, management has typically maintained a reserve for unbilled rent receivable equal to approximately 10% of the unbilled rent receivable balance. Mortgage loans and bonds receivable consist of the Companys investment in loans secured by real property along with certain unsecured notes. Management regularly evaluates its loan portfolio and adjusts the allowance based on the specific identification, in managements opinion, of a borrowers ability to pay its obligations under the terms of the loan.
Long-lived assets. The Companys assets consist mainly of investments in real property. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an assets book value exceeds the undiscounted expected future cash flows to be derived from that asset. Whenever undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the book value, the asset will be reduced to estimated fair value and an impairment loss will be recognized. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $8.1 million associated with the senior care spin-off in 2004. The Company recorded no impairment losses in 2003 and 2002.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2004 Versus the Year Ended December 31, 2003
Total revenues decreased by $15.3 million, or 27%, from $57.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $41.9 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease was due to $19.4 million decrease in patient revenues along with a decrease in other income of $1.1 million. These decreases were offset by a $4.0 million increase in rents, tenant reimbursements and parking revenues as well as a $1.1 million increase in interest and loan fee income.
Patient revenues decreased by $19.4 million, or 74%, from $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $6.7 million for the same period in 2004. On April 1, 2004, the licenses to operate the three SNFs owned by the Company in Massachusetts were transferred to the manager of the facilities. Upon the transfer of these licenses, the Company no longer reflected the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the operations of these three SNFs in its consolidated financial statements. As of April 1, 2004, the Company recorded rental income per the terms of the leases it entered into with the new owners of the operating licenses. On November 1, 2004, the Company spun off all of its senior care assets to its common stockholders including the three facilities located in Massachusetts.
Rents, tenant reimbursements and parking revenues increased by $4.0 million, or 15%, from a combined total of $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $31.7 million in 2004. $2.2 million of this increase was due to an increase in rental revenue at the Companys three SNFs located in Massachusetts. Subsequent to the transfer of the operating licenses mentioned above, the Company recorded rental income per the terms of the new leases entered into with the manager of these facilities. An additional $0.5 million of the increase in rental revenues was due to the June 2004 acquisition of a 155-bed SNF located in Goodyear, Arizona. Also, a new rental agreement with the operator of the Companys SNF located in Hyattsville, Maryland accounted for an additional $0.3 million in rental revenues. The remaining $1.0 million increase consisted of a $0.7 million increase in rental revenue due to increased occupancy and rental rates at the Companys MOB properties as well as a $0.3 million increase in tenant reimbursements for building operating expenses. Tenant reimbursements have increased because the Company has been obtaining higher reimbursements of operating expenses from its tenants under new and renewed lease agreements.
Interest and loan fee income increased $1.1 million, or 137%, from $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $1.9 million in 2004. $0.9 million of this increase was due to additional interest accrued on the Companys note receivable from Lakeview Associates, LLC (Lakeview). Lakeview, a joint venture in which the Company owned a 50% interest, sold its two-story, 80-unit assisted living facility (ALF) located in Yorba Linda, California in September 2004. The Company had a second deed of trust note on the ALF owned by Lakeview and had been recognizing a bad debt expense with respect to the monthly interest payments owed on the note due to uncertainty of collection. Upon the sale of the ALF, Lakeview repaid the second deed of trust note and all accrued interest and the Company recognized the payment of accrued interest as interest income. The remaining $0.2 million increase in interest and loan fee income was due to additional interest earned on the Companys cash on hand. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $10.5 million in cash on hand.
14
Other income decreased by $1.1 million, or 44%, from $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $1.5 million for the same period in 2004. This decrease was due to the collection in 2003 of $1.0 million related to a $4.6 million note receivable funded by the Company in December 1997. The Company had fully reserved for the outstanding loan balance in prior years and reversed $1 million of the reserve into other income upon receipt of the cash payment in 2003.
Total expenses decreased by $22.9 million, or 34%, from $67.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $44.4 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease was due to a decrease in skilled nursing operation costs of $17.6 million, a decrease in interest expense of $14.5 million and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million. These decreases were offset by an increase in the impairment of assets of $8.1 million, an increase in provisions for doubtful accounts of $0.4 million and an increase in general and administrative costs of $1.0 million.
Skilled nursing operation costs decreased by $17.6 million, or 74%, from $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $6.3 million for the same period in 2004. On April 1, 2004, the licenses to operate the three SNFs owned by the Company and located in Massachusetts were transferred to the manager of the facilities. Upon the transfer of these licenses, the Company no longer reflected the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the operations of these three SNFs in its consolidated financial statements.
Interest expense decreased $14.5 million, or 58%, from $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $10.6 million for the same period in 2004. The primary reason for the decrease was the $11.1 million of pre-payment fees and the write-off of deferred loan fees, incurred during 2003, relating to the early repayment of four separate loans totaling $69.5 million. During 2003, the Company refinanced a $26.2 million loan secured by four of its MOBs located in Beverly Hills, California, a $31.5 million loan secured by MOBs located in Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks and La Jolla, California, a $7.2 million loan secured by another MOB located in Beverly Hills, and a $4.6 million loan secured by an MOB located in Santa Clarita, California. An additional $3.9 million of this decrease was due to the repayment in September 2003 of the Companys $35 million loan obtained in October 2001 in order to repurchase the Companys outstanding common stock held by the public. Also, $0.3 million of this decrease was due to a decrease in 2003 in the fair market value of the LIBOR interest rate cap associated with the $35 million loan. An additional $0.5 million decrease was due to a decrease in interest expense associated with the spin-off of all of the Companys senior care assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. These decreases were offset by a $1.3 million increase in interest expense due to the 2003 refinancing of four mortgage loans totaling $69.5 million with new mortgage loans totaling $123.3 million.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.4 million, or 8%, from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $4.5 million for the same period in 2004. This decrease of $0.3 million was associated with the spin-off of all of the Companys senior care assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004.
General and administrative costs increased $1 million, or 22%, from $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $5.6 million for the same period in 2004. $0.6 million of this increase was attributed to increased legal and consulting costs associated with the spin-off of the Companys senior care assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004 along with a potential offering by the Company of new preferred stock that was never consummated. The remaining $0.4 million increase was the result of an increase in reserves associated with the $513,602 letter of credit in which the Company is the guarantor on and which was called upon in March 2005.
Provisions for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable increased by $0.4 million, or 40%, from $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $1.4 million for the same period in 2004. $0.8 million of this increase is the result of an increase in the Companys provision for doubtful accounts associated with the Companys three SNFs located in Massachusetts. Also, the Company increased its provision for doubtful bonds by an additional $0.3 million relating to the subordinated bonds purchased by the Company in 1999. These increases were offset by a $0.7 million decrease in provision for doubtful accounts associated with the Companys SNF located in Hoquiam, Washington, which was spun-off on November 1, 2004.
The Company recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $8.1 million during 2004 associated with the spin-off of the Companys senior care assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004.
15
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. This decrease was mainly due to the sale, in 2003, of a 23,000 square foot MOB located in Aliso Viejo, California in which the Company held a 50% interest along with an ALF located in Omaha, Nebraska, in which the Company also had a 50% interest. During 2003, the Company recognized gains of approximately $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as a result of these sales.
Gains from sale of discontinued operations decreased $4.8 million, or 66%, from $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, to $2.5 million for the same period in 2004. The Company recognized net gains from discontinued operations in the amount of $2.5 million during 2004 due to the sale of an MOB, a research and development building and an SNF as well as the Companys membership interest in a consolidated joint venture that owned an ALF. The sale, in January 2004, of the Companys membership interest in a joint venture that owned an 80-unit ALF located in Tarzana, California accounted for $0.3 million of this gain while the March 2004 sale of a two-story, 48,000 square foot research and development building located in Irwindale, California accounted for an additional $0.3 million. In August 2004, the Company sold its 10,000 square foot MOB located in Tustin, California recognizing a gain of $2.1 million. These gains were offset by the $0.2 million loss on the sale of a 59-bed SNF located in Chico, California in June 2004. During 2003, the Company recognized net gains from discontinued operations in the amount of $7.3 million. The sale, in October 2003, of a one-story, 9,100 square foot retail facility located in Aliso Viejo, California accounted for a net gain of $0.8 million, while the sale, in December 2003, of a two-story, 26,000 square foot MOB located in Burbank, California accounted for a net gain of $1.4 million. In addition, in December 2003, the Company sold its membership interest in a joint venture that owned a 92-unit ALF located in Santa Monica, California for $6 million and recognized a net gain on sale of $5.1 million.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2003 Versus the Year Ended December 31, 2002
Total revenues increased by $1.9 million, or 3%, from $55.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, to $57.2 million for the same period in 2003. The increase was due to an increase in patient revenues of $1.8 million, an increase in other income of $1.2 million and an increase in rents, tenant reimbursements and parking revenues of $0.6 million. These increases were offset by a $1.7 million decrease in interest and loan fee income.
Patient revenues relating to the skilled nursing facilities located in Massachusetts, which were operated by the Company, increased by $1.8 million, or 8%, from $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, to $26.1 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was mainly due to increased occupancy and a higher percentage of Medicare patients for which the government pays a higher reimbursement rate. Although patient revenues increased 8% over 2002, higher operating expenses reduced the total income from operations produced by the Companys skilled nursing facilities located in Massachusetts in the year 2003 by $0.7 million.
Rents, tenant reimbursements and parking revenues increased by $0.6 million, or 2%, from a combined total of $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, to $27.7 million in 2003. Increased occupancy and rental rates along with tenants reimbursing the Company for a greater share of building operating expenses per the terms of their lease agreements at the Companys MOB properties accounted for a $1.1 million increase in rental revenue, tenant reimbursement and parking revenues. This increase was offset by a decrease in rental revenue of $0.5 million due to a lease amendment at one of the Companys SNFs. Due to continuing operating losses at the Companys SNF located in Hoquiam, Washington, the Company is not receiving any rental revenue from this facility as it had in 2002. In August 2003, the Company hired a new operator to manage this SNF and the facility began to stabilize.
Interest and loan fee income decreased $1.7 million from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $0.8 million in 2003. This decrease was due to the non-recurrence in 2003 of fees associated with the early repayment in 2002 of the Companys two notes receivable related to a SNF located in Hyattsville, Maryland.
Other income increased $1.2 million, or 86%, from $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $2.6 million for the same period in 2003. This increase is due to the collection of $1.0 million related to a $4.6 million loan made by the Company in 1997. The loan has been in default since December 1999 and has been fully reserved by the Company.
Interest expense increased $11.5 million, or 85%, from $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, to $25.1 million for the same period in 2003. Interest expense increased by $13.2 million from 2002 to 2003 due to prepayment penalties and the write-off of deferred loan fees relating to the early repayment of five individual loans
16
totaling $101.3 million. Interest expense also increased an additional $0.2 million due to a new $4.3 million loan secured by a SNF located in Phoenix, Arizona that was obtained in December 2002. These increases were offset by decreases in interest expense totaling $1.9 million. A decrease in interest expense on the Companys variable rate mortgages due to lower interest rates accounted for $1.3 million of the total decrease. The remaining $0.6 million decrease was due to the decline in the fair market value of the Companys LIBOR interest rate cap. The Company recognized a $0.3 million loss related to the decline in the fair market value of its LIBOR interest rate cap during 2003 compared to a $0.9 million loss in 2002. The value of the LIBOR interest rate cap fluctuated based upon current prevailing market interest rates. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, the Company recognized a $0.5 million gain and a $0.9 million loss, respectively, on the fair market value of its LIBOR interest rate cap, thus, the net effect on earnings since the Companys purchase of this financial instrument was a $0.7 million loss. In October 2003, the Company sold the LIBOR interest rate cap for $0.2 million
General and administrative costs increased $1.3 million, or 39%, from $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, to $4.6 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was attributed to an increase in corporate staffing costs as well as additional legal costs.
Provisions for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable decreased by $0.5 million, or 33%, from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, to $1.0 million for the same period in 2003. This decrease was the result of a decrease in reserves associated with the Companys SNF located in Hoquiam, Washington.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This increase was partially due to the sale of a 23,000 square foot MOB located in Aliso Viejo, California in which the Company held a 50% interest. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $1.3 million as a result of this sale. In addition, another joint venture, in which the Company also held a 50% interest, sold an ALF located in Omaha, Nebraska. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $2.6 million as a result of the sale.
Gains from sale of discontinued operations increased $5.0 million, or 217%, from $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, to $7.3 million for the same period in 2003. The Company recognized net gains from discontinued operations in the amount of $7.3 million during 2003 due to the sale of a retail facility, an MOB property and one of its ALFs. The sale, in October 2003, of a one-story, 9,100 square foot retail facility located in Aliso Viejo, California accounted for a net gain of $0.8 million, while the sale, in December 2003, of a two-story, 26,000 square foot MOB located in Burbank, California accounted for a net gain of $1.4 million. In addition, in December 2003, the Company sold its membership interest in a joint venture that owned a 92-unit ALF located in Santa Monica, California for $6 million and recognized a net gain on sale of $5.1 million. The Company recognized a net gain from discontinued operations in the amount of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The sale, in January 2002, of a 183-bed hospital located in Tustin, California to Pacific Health Corporation, the operator of the hospital, accounted for a gain of $2.4 million. This gain was offset by a loss of $0.1 million due to the sale, in May 2002, of a SNF located in Paso Robles, California.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $10.5 million of cash on hand. The Company obtains its liquidity from multiple internal and external sources. Internally, funds are derived from the operation of its healthcare properties. The MOB Properties produced net income of approximately $9.4 million before minority interests for the year ended December 31, 2004. The net income of $9.4 million includes a $2.1 million net gain on sale of the Companys 10,000 square foot MOB located in Tustin, California and a $0.3 million net gain on sale of the Companys 48,000 square foot research and development building located in Irwindale, California. These gains were offset by $1.0 million of prepayment penalties and deferred loan fee write offs relating to the refinancing of a $7.1 million loan secured by the Companys office and retail building located in Coronado, California. The MOB Properties contain approximately 785,000 rentable square feet and, as of January 31, 2005, were approximately 97.8% leased to over 400 tenants with lease terms typically ranging from three to ten years.
The Companys assisted living facilities produced net income of approximately $0.1 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2004. The $0.1 million includes a $0.7 million gain on the sale of the Companys assisted living facility located in Yorba Linda, California in which the Company had a 50% interest as well as a $0.3 million gain
17
on the sale of the Companys membership interest in a joint venture that owned an assisted living facility located in Tarzana, California. These gains were offset by the Companys share of losses in the Companys assisted living facilities owned through joint ventures. On November 1, 2004, the Company spun off its interest in all of its assisting living facilities to its common stockholders. See Recent Developments above.
The Companys skilled nursing facilities produced net income of approximately $1.0 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2004 which included a $0.2 million loss on the sale of a skilled nursing facility located in Chico, California. On November 1, 2004, the Company spun off its interest in all of its skilled nursing facilities to its common stockholders. See Recent Developments above.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had secured loans outstanding of approximately $157.6 million. During 2004, the Company obtained a $3 million secured line of credit that is secured by a first deed of trust on land owned by the Company in Santa Clarita, California. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. The Company has also been selling some of its assets which has provided additional liquidity. During 2004, the Company received proceeds of $13.8 million from the sale of its assets. The Company has reserved these funds for new acquisitions, future stock dividends and for general corporate purposes. The Companys 2004 asset purchase and sales and its refinancings are discussed below.
On January 26, 2004, the Company sold its membership interest in a joint venture that owned an 80-unit ALF located in Tarzana, California for $1.7 million in cash and recognized a net gain on sale of $0.3 million. The existing mortgage balance of $8.2 million along with an unsecured note payable of $0.5 million, were assumed by the buyer.
On March 18, 2004, the Company sold a two-story, 48,000 square foot research and development building located in Irwindale, California for $8.85 million and received net proceeds of $8.4 million. The Company recognized a gain on sale of $0.3 million.

The loan bears interest at 6.5% per annum, requires monthly principal and interest payments and is due in December 2005. This property was spun-off to the Companys common stockholders on November 1, 2004.
On August 2, 2004, the Company sold a 10,000 square foot MOB located in Tustin, California for $3.6 million and realized net proceeds of $2.1 million. The Company recognized a gain on sale of $2.1 million.

In October 2004, the Company received a distribution from Lakeview of $2.9 million.
On November 29, 2004, the Company refinanced a loan secured by an MOB located in Coronado, California with a $13.55 million loan. A portion of the loan proceeds were used to repay the existing $7.1 million as well as other financing costs. The new loan has a ten year term and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.24% per annum. On March 24, 2005, the Company sold the property for $18.15 million.

In addition, the Company distributed $3.0 million in cash dividends and a property dividend valued at $3.1 million for tax purposes to holders of the Companys Common Stock during 2004.
18
During 2004, the Company hired an investment banking firm to advise it on the possible issuance of a new series of preferred stock, the proceeds of which would have been used, in significant part, to redeem the Companys outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. On November 29, 2004, the Company announced the termination of its efforts to refinance its outstanding preferred stock because the front end costs of such a refinancing would have outweighed the potential benefits derived. Although the Company terminated its effort to refinance its currently outstanding preferred stock, the Company is constantly seeking to reduce its overall cost of capital and may revive such efforts in the future.
While the Company is highly leveraged, the Company expects to continue meeting its short-term liquidity requirements through its working capital, cash flow provided by operations and its line of credit. The Company also expects to maintain stockholder distributions in accordance with REIT requirements, although no assurances can be given that the current level of distributions will be maintained. Long-term liquidity requirements such as refinancing mortgages, financing acquisitions and financing capital improvements will be accomplished through long-term borrowings, the sale of assets and joint venture arrangements.
Sources and Uses of Funds
The Companys net cash from operating activities increased $12.2 million from net cash used of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 to net cash provided of $11.3 million for the same period in 2004. The increase is due to an increase the impairment of assets of $8.1 million,, a decrease in net gains from sale of discontinued operations of $4.8 million, a decrease in equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates of $3.7 million, a $0.8 million decrease in tenant rent and reimbursements receivable and a $0.4 million increase in provisions for doubtful accounts, notes and bonds receivable. These increases in cash provided by operating activities were offset by a $1.9 million decrease in the write-off of deferred loan costs, a $1.7 million decrease in net income, a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization and a $1.4 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities.
Net cash from investing activities decreased $22.3 million, or 99%, from $22.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $0.2 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a $12.2 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of real estate assets, a $3.7 million increase in purchases of real estate assets, a $3.5 million increase in investments in notes and bonds receivable, a $1.2 million increase in contributions to unconsolidated affiliates, a $0.6 million decrease in the sale of bonds receivable and a $0.5 million increase in additions to rental properties.
Net cash flows used in financing activities increased $0.9 million, or 8% from $12.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, to $12.9 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was due to a $102.8 million decrease in notes payable proceeds, a $4.4 million increase in purchases of preferred stock and a $1.7 million increase in restricted cash. These increases in cash flows used in financing activities were offset by a $105.0 million decrease in the repayment of notes payable, a $1.9 million decrease in distributions and a $0.9 million decrease in payments of deferred loan costs.
Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is the guarantor on a $513,602 letter of credit issued by U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bank) in favor of Fannie Mae c/o Greystone Servicing Corporation under which the Companys maximum liability is approximately $410,000. In December 1999, the Company purchased $1.3 million of subordinated bonds secured by an apartment complex located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At the time, a letter of credit for $513,602 was issued by the Bank of Oklahoma in favor of the issuer of the subordinated bonds in order to pay the interest payments on the secured debt of the property in the event the cash flow of the property was insufficient to meet such payments. The Company guaranteed $250,000 of this letter of credit. In December 2003, June 2004 and December 2004, the borrower defaulted on the semi-annual interest payment to the holders of the subordinated bonds, including those held by the Company. The subordinated bonds owned by the Company are fully-reserved for on the Companys balance sheet. In July 2004, the letter of credit issued by the Bank of Oklahoma was called upon and the Company was required to fund the $250,000 that it had guaranteed. Subsequently, the current letter of credit was issued by
19
U.S. Bank. The Companys partners in this investment are in the process of restructuring the management and operation of the property in order to make it profitable once again. As part of the restructuring, the letter of credit was called upon in March 2005. The Company recorded a reserve of $410,000 on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 related to its maximum liability with respect to the letter of credit.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had investments in three unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $2.5 million. All of the unconsolidated joint ventures were formed for the purpose of acquiring and owning real estate assets. Per the terms of the joint venture agreements, the Company could be required to advance additional funds to these joint ventures if the operating activities of the joint ventures are insufficient to satisfy the obligations of the joint ventures. Any additional funds advanced to the joint ventures are treated as additional equity contributions and are recorded as an investment in unconsolidated affiliates on the Companys balance sheet.

The Company sold the Coronado Plaza on March 24, 2005 and the buyer assumed the existing mortgage loan of $13.6 million.
Financing Policies
To the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company decides to seek additional funding, the Company may raise such capital using various means, including retention of internally generated funds (subject to the distribution requirements in the Code with respect to REITs), existing working capital and possibly the issuance of additional debt (secured or unsecured), the participation in joint venture arrangements or any combination of the above. It is anticipated that borrowings will continue to be made through the Operating Partnership and Senior Care Partnership or other entities, although the Company may also incur indebtedness that may be re-borrowed by the Operating Partnership or the Senior Care Partnership on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Companys borrowing of such funds. Except as required pursuant to existing financing agreements, the Company has not established any limit on the number or amount of mortgages or unsecured debt that may be placed on any single property or on its portfolio as a whole.
The Board of Directors of the Company also has the authority to cause the Operating Partnership or the Senior Care Partnership to issue additional Units in any manner (and subject to certain limitations in the Partnership Agreement on such terms and for such consideration) as it deems appropriate and may also decide to seek financing for the purposes of managing the Companys balance sheet by adjusting the Companys existing capitalization. The refinancing of the Companys balance sheet may entail the issuance and/or retirement of debt, equity or hybrid securities.
Inflation
The majority of the Companys leases are long-term leases designed to mitigate the adverse effect of inflation. Approximately 40% of the Companys leases contain provisions that call for annual rent increases equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index and the majority of the remaining leases allow for specific annual rent
21
increases. Furthermore, many of the Companys leases require tenants to pay a pro rata share of building operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance. The effect of such provisions is to reduce the Companys exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payments (SFAS No. 123(R)) which replaces SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. As such, pro forma disclosure in lieu of expensing is no longer an alternative. The new standard is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46-R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46-R). FIN 46-R clarified the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements and provided guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities or VIEs) and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either: (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entitys activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company adopted FIN 46-R during 2004 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure
Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations (FFO) to be an appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT. The Company calculates FFO as defined by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO is helpful in evaluating the performance of a real estate portfolio considering the fact that historical cost accounting assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. FFO is calculated to include the minority interests share of income from the Operating Partnership and Senior Care Partnership since the Operating Partnership and Senior Care Partnerships net income is allocated proportionately among all owners of Operating Partnership and Senior Care Partnership units. The combined number of Operating Partnership and Senior Care Partnership units held by the Company is identical to the number of outstanding shares of the Companys Common Stock, and owners of Operating Partnership and Senior Care Partnership units may, at their discretion, convert their units into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
22
The Company believes that, in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the operating results of the Company, FFO should be examined in conjunction with the Companys net income as presented in the Selected Financial Data and Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K and the additional data presented below. The table on the following page presents an analysis of FFO and additional data for each of the four quarters and the year ended December 31, 2004 for the Operating Partnership:

1) | FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied), excluding extraordinary items and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation of real property, less preferred stock dividends paid to holders of preferred stock during the period and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated entities in which the Company holds a partial interest. FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator developed in compliance with GAAP, including measures of liquidity such as cash flows from operations, investing and financing activities. FFO is helpful in evaluating the performance of a real estate portfolio considering the fact that historical cost accounting assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. FFO is only one of a range of indicators which should be considered in determining a companys operating performance. The methods of calculating FFO among different companies are subject to variation, and FFO therefore may be an invalid measure for purposes of comparing companies. Also, the elimination of depreciation and gains and losses on sales of property may not be a true indication of an entitys ability to recover its investment in properties. The Company implemented the new methods of calculating FFO effective as of the NAREIT-suggested adoption dates of January 1, 1996 and January 1, 2000, respectively. |

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary risk inherent in the Companys market sensitive instruments is the risk of loss resulting from interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2004, all of the Companys notes payable bore interest at a fixed rate. As of December 31, 2003, approximately 10% of the Companys notes payable bore interest at a rate indexed to the one-month LIBOR rate or Prime Rate. The tables below provide information as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 about the Companys long-term debt obligations that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rate and estimated fair value. The weighted average interest rates presented are the actual rates as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

The Companys future earnings and cash flows relating to market sensitive instruments are primarily dependent upon prevailing LIBOR market interest rate. Based upon interest rates as of December 31, 2003, a 1% increase in the LIBOR rate would have decreased future earnings by $193,000, and future cash flow would have decreased by $64,000. A 1% decrease in the LIBOR rate would have increased future earnings by $193,000, and future cash flow would have increased by $64,000. A 1% change in the LIBOR rate would not have had a material impact on the fair value of the Companys debt.

Based on this evaluation, the certifying officers concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the annual period covered by this report. There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Employment Agreements and Arrangements
In December 1993, each of Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz entered into separate but identical employment agreements with us and the operating partnership for a term of three years. The agreements provide for automatic renewal for succeeding terms of one year unless we or Messrs. Gottlieb or Lebowitz give notice at least three months prior to expiration of any term. The employment agreements provide for automatic annual increases in base compensation equal to 5% per annum; however, the board of directors may review the annual base compensation every twelve months in light of various factors, and following each such review, the annual base compensation may be increased above the 5% automatic increase. The board of directors approved the salary increase for Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz in 2002. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz received no salary increases in 2003 and 2004.
In addition, each of Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are entitled to receive an annual bonus as determined by the board of directors in an amount not to exceed a maximum of 100% of annual base compensation. Furthermore, each agreement provides that Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are entitled: (1) to participate in all of our medical, dental, life insurance, retirement, profit sharing, stock incentive, disability and bonus plans which may be made available to our executives (only medical plans presently exist) and (2) to severance payments, under certain circumstances, equal to two times their then-current annual compensation. The board of directors approved a bonus of $100,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002 for each of Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz. The board of directors has also approved an auto allowance for both Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz in the amount of $18,000 per year.
The agreements require Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz to devote substantially all of their working time and best efforts to performance of their duties for us and, during the term of their employment, prohibits them, with certain

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We have adopted a policy pursuant to which material transactions between us and our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders (i.e., stockholders owning beneficially 5% or more of our outstanding voting securities) are submitted to the board of directors for approval by a disinterested majority of the directors voting with respect to the transaction. For this purpose, a transaction is deemed material if such transaction, alone or together with a series of similar transactions during the same fiscal year, involves an amount which exceeds $60,000.
In October 2001, the Operating Partnership loaned $5.2 million to Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company, to fund a $3.5 million tender offer for the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and to repay $1.7 million of personal debt. Each of the $2.6 million loans to Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are for a term of ten years, bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.5% and require monthly interest only payments. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz have the option to accrue any and all interest payments, which shall then be added to the principal balance of the notes. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal on these notes was $5.11 million and all accrued interest had been paid in full by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz.
On November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are the sole common stockholders of the Company. In total, skilled nursing and assisted living assets having a net equity of $9.03 million, derived from current independent property appraisals less the existing property debt, have been spun-off to these stockholders. At the time of the spin-off, these assets were held by the Companys consolidated subsidiary, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, and the spin-off was effectuated by a distribution of the Companys membership interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. In addition to these skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC had cash of approximately $2 million, and indebtedness to the Company of $6 million as of the effective date of the spin-off. Accordingly, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC at the time of the spin-off, had a net asset value (based on fair market valuations of its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities) of approximately $5.03 million.
Following the spin-off, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC is now owned and managed primarily by Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz, the CEO and President, respectively, of the Company. Due to the substantial management overlap between the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, the two companies have entered into a cost sharing agreement to allocate between them each year the general and administrative costs of the two companies. Management estimates that, at the current time, the skilled nursing facility and the assisted care living facility assets now owned by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, account for approximately 65% of the general and administrative costs of the two companies. Subsequent to the spin-off, general and administrative costs totaling $243,723 were allocated to G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. As of December 31, 2004, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC owed the Company $133,971 pursuant to this cost sharing agreement between the two companies. This amount is recorded under tenant rent and reimbursements receivable on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 and was paid by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC to the Company in January 2005.
The Company continues to hold two promissory notes issued by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a short term promissory note in the amount of $2 million and a long term promissory note in the amount of $4 million, each bearing interest at the rate of 10.75% per annum, and will for some time continue to be a creditor of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. The short term promissory note has a term of six months, interest only payable monthly, and is unsecured. The long term promissory note has a term of 12 years, provides for flat monthly payments of interest and principal on a 25 year amortization basis, with a balloon payment of $3.32 million at the end of the term, and is secured by the interests of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC in the various special purpose entities through which it holds its interest in its skilled nursing facility and assisted care living facility assets.
On December 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase by the Company of the 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for $4.44 million. The purchase price of $23.00 a share represented a 13% and 9% discount, respectively, to the market price of the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at the time. The Series C and Series D Preferred Stock rank on a parity with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and share pari passu in dividends and at liquidation. The Company completed the repurchase on December 30, 2004.

During 2004, the Company paid S. Craig Tompkins, a member of the Board of Directors, $100,500 for legal and consulting services performed in connection with the spin-off of the Companys senior care assets and the potential offering of preferred stock. These fees were in addition to the regular fees paid to the members of the Board of Directors. In January 2005, the Company paid Mr. Tompkins $250,000 for legal services performed on behalf of the Company and its board of directors in connection with the stockholder litigation described in Item 3.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the audit of the Companys annual financial statements and for review of the financial statements included in the Companys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for 2004 were $198,700 and for 2003 were $205,200.
Audit-Related Fees
The aggregate fees for assurance and related services by Deloitte & Touche LLP that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Companys financial statements and are not reported under Audit Fees above for 2004 were $0 and for 2003 were $9,250. The audit-related fees in 2003 related to the review of the financial statements of one of the Companys subsidiaries.
Tax Fees
The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for 2004 were $205,734 and for 2003 were $159,496. Most of the fees relate to preparation of the Companys tax returns. During 2004, the Company paid Deloitte & Touche LLP $23,734 for advice and consulting relating to the spin-off of its senior care assets to the Companys common stockholders. During 2003, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche to perform a cost segregation study on one of its properties in order to realize greater tax benefits on its depreciation of the property.
All Other Fees
The aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP, other than the services covered in Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, and Tax Fees above, for 2004 were $1,950 and for 2003 were $0. The other services provided to the Company by Deloitte & Touche during 2004 were related to the review and appeal of property taxes on the Companys medical office buildings.
The audit committee pre-approves all audit, audit-related, tax and other services performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the Company. All services provided by Deloitte & Touche are brought to the attention of the audit committee to determine if such services need to be pre-approved. All of the services provided by Deloitte & Touche that are described above under Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee during 2004 and 2003 except for the cost segregation study discussed above. The pre-approval requirement for this service was waived because (1) the cost of this service constituted less than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Company to Deloitte & Touche during 2003; (2) the Company did not recognize this service to be a non-audit service at the time the service was obtained; and (3) this service was promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by it before the completion of the audit for 2003.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
G&L Realty Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of G&L Realty Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of G&L Realty Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In addition to the Subsidiaries, the Company also owns interests in various unconsolidated affiliates. Although the Companys investment represents a significant portion of the capital of such unconsolidated affiliates and the Company exercises influence over the activities of these entities, either the affiliates are not considered variable interest entities or the Company does not have the requisite level of voting control to include the assets, liabilities and operating activities of these entities in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The entities in which the Company has unconsolidated financial interests are as follows:
G&L Grabel, San Pedro, LLC (San Pedro)
Lakeview Associates, LLC (Lakeview)
Tustin Heritage Place, LLC (Heritage Place)
Paradigm Housing, LLC (Paradigm)
Prior | to November 1, 2004, the Company also held interests in the following entities: |
G&L Penasquitos, LLC (Penasquitos)
G&L Radius Realty, LLC (Radius)
Encanto Senior Care, LLC (Encanto)
San Pedro, Lakeview, Heritage Place, Paradigm, Penasquitos, Radius and Encanto are herein collectively referred to as the Unconsolidated Affiliates and individually as Unconsolidated Affiliate.
The Company has decided to focus in the future on the development, ownership and operation of medical office buildings. Accordingly, on November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. In total, skilled nursing and assisted living assets having a net equity of $9.0 million, derived from current independent property appraisals less the existing property debt, have been spun-off to these stockholders. At the time of the spin-off, these assets were held by the Companys consolidated subsidiary, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, and the spin-off was effectuated by a distribution of the Companys membership interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. In addition to these skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC had cash of approximately $2 million, and indebtedness to the Company of $6 million as of the effective date of the spin-off. Accordingly, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC at the time of the spin-off, had a net asset value (based on fair market valuations of its skilled nursing and assisted living facilities) of approximately $5.0 million as compared to a carrying value of $13.1 million, the excess of the carrying value of the net assets over the fair value in the amount of $8.1 million. See the Companys Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2004 for certain pro forma information giving effect to the spin-off.
Incident to the spin-off, the Company converted G&L St. Thomas More and St. Thomas More into limited liability companies and formed G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. The spin off consisted of the Companys membership interests in G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC which holds the membership interests in Maryland Gardens, Hampden, Hoquiam, G&L St. Thomas More, St. Thomas More, Winter Gardens, Chestnut, Mary Lyon, Palm Valley, Penasquitos, Radius and Encanto and in the subsidiaries that served as the managing members of Maryland Gardens and Hampden. Following the spin-off, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC is now owned and managed primarily by Daniel Gottlieb and Steven Lebowitz, the CEO and President, respectively, of the Company. Due to the substantial management overlap between the Company and G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, the two companies have entered into a cost sharing agreement to allocate between them each year the general and administrative costs of the two companies. Management estimates that, at the current time, the skilled nursing facility and the assisted care living facility assets now owned by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, account for approximately 65% of the general and administrative costs of the two companies.
The Company continues to hold two promissory notes issued by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC, a short term promissory note in the amount of $2 million and a long term promissory note in the amount of $4 million, each bearing interest at the rate of 10.75% per annum, and will for some time continue to be a creditor of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC. The short term promissory note has a term of six months, interest only payable monthly, and is unsecured. The long
F-8
term promissory note has a term of 12 years, provides for flat monthly payments of interest and principal on a 25 year amortization basis, with a balloon payment of $3.3 million at the end of the term, and is secured by the interests of G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC in the various special purpose entities through which it holds its interest in its skilled nursing facility and assisted care living facility assets.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business The Company is a self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that acquires, develops, manages and leases healthcare properties. Historically, the Companys business has consisted of investments in a variety of healthcare properties. Prior to the spin-off on November 1, 2004, the Companys investments in healthcare properties consisted of acquisitions, made either directly or through joint ventures, in medical office buildings (MOBs), skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and assisted living facilities (ALFs). After the spin-off of the SNF and ALF assets on November 1, 2004, the Companys business consisted only of MOBs.
Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The interests in the Roxbury Partnership, the Operating Partnership and the Senior Care Partnership that are not owned by the Company, have been reflected as minority interests in the Operating and Senior Care Partnerships. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation.
Properties The Operating Partnership, the Senior Care Partnership, the Medical Partnership, the Roxbury Partnership, Maryland Gardens, Hampden, Valencia, Tustin, Holy Cross, Hoquiam, Lyons, Coronado, Massachusetts, Aspen, Tustin II, Tustin III, G&L St. Thomas More, St. Thomas More, Winter Gardens, 405 Bedford, 415 Bedford, 416 Bedford, 435 Bedford, 436 Bedford, Sherman Oaks, Regents, Chestnut, Mary Lyon and Palm Valley own a 100% fee simple interest in all of the properties.
Income taxes The Company expects to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to corporate Federal income taxes so long as it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to stockholders and meets certain other requirements relating to its income and assets. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company met all of these requirements. Though as a REIT the Company is generally not permitted to operate properties, in 2000, the Company foreclosed upon and took over the operations at three of its SNFs located in Massachusetts. Under Section 856(e) of the Code, the Company has the ability to operate these properties as foreclosure property for a period of up to three years after the year in which the foreclosure took place. However, the Company must pay Federal and State income taxes on the taxable income produced by these three facilities during this period. As a result, the Company has included $136,000 and $220,000 of corporate income tax expense in its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively, with respect to these properties. On April 1, 2004, the Company transferred the operating licenses for these three facilities to the manager of these facilities and entered into a lease agreement with the manager. Upon the transfer of the licenses, the Company was no longer responsible for Federal and State income taxes on the taxable income produced by these three facilities. The three facilities produced a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004, thus, no tax expense has been included in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The Company recorded an additional $86,000 and $75,000 of corporate income tax expense in its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, related to its investment in a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(l) of the Internal Revenue Code. The taxable REIT subsidiary owns a SNF in Maryland and leases the SNF to an operator. State income tax requirements are similar to Federal requirements. At the end of 2003, the Company revoked the taxable REIT subsidiary election and converted the subsidiary into a qualified REIT subsidiary.
Real estate and depreciation Rental property is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements | 40 years | |
Tenant improvements | Life of lease | |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5 years |
F-9
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $4,854,000, $5,382,000 and $5,972,000 respectively. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renovations and all costs directly related to acquisitions are capitalized.
Revenue recognition Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are due. Certain leases include rent concessions and escalation clauses creating an effective rent that is included in unbilled rent receivable (Note 5). Patient revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from patients, third party payors and others for services rendered, net of contractual adjustments.
Cash and cash equivalents All demand and money market accounts and short-term investments in governmental funds with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. Throughout the year, the Company maintained cash balances at banks in excess of federally insured limits.
Restricted Cash Pursuant to various loan agreements, the Company is required to fund segregated interest bearing accounts to be used for debt service payments, property taxes, insurance premiums and property improvements.
Allowance for uncollectible amountsTenant rent and reimbursements receivable and unbilled rent receivable are carried net of the allowances for uncollectible amounts. Management determines the adequacy of the allowances based upon the specific individual receivables, managements knowledge of the business and other relevant factors.
Deferred charges and other assets Deferred charges and other assets consist of leasing commissions, deferred loan fees, financing costs, construction-in-progress, investments, deposits and prepaid expenses. Leasing commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases which range typically from five to ten years. Deferred loan fees are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective loan agreements. Expenses incurred to obtain financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan as a yield adjustment.
Minority interest in consolidated affiliates The Operating Partnership, as sole general partner, has a 32.81% ownership interest in the Roxbury Partnership which owns the property located at 435 North Roxbury Drive. The minority interest is a debit balance that resulted from depreciation allocations and cash distributed to partners in excess of their original investment and subsequent accumulated earnings. It is managements opinion that the deficit is adequately secured by the unrecognized appreciated value of the Roxbury property and will be recovered through an accumulation of undistributed earnings or sale of the property.
Long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an assets book value exceeds the undiscounted expected future cash flows to be derived from that asset. Whenever undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the book value, the asset will be reduced to estimated fair value and an impairment loss will be recognized. The Company recorded no impairment losses in 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Financial instrumentsThe estimated fair value of the Companys financial instruments is determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts. The book value of cash, cash equivalents, tenant rent and other accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the Companys variable rate notes payable as of December 31, 2003 approximate fair value because the interest rates are comparable to rates currently being offered to the Company. The Company had no variable rate notes payable outstanding as of December 31, 2004. The fair value of the Companys fixed rate notes payable as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $162.7 million and $202.8 million, respectively because the interest rates on the Companys fixed rate notes payable were higher for both 2004 and 2003 than the rates being offered to the Company at that time. The estimated fair values of the Companys mortgage loans and bonds receivable, are based upon market values of loans and bonds receivable with similar characteristics adjusted for risk inherent in the underlying transactions. Management estimates that the fair value of the Companys mortgage loans and bonds receivable approximate their amortized cost basis, after adjustment for the allowance for amounts deemed to be uncollectible.
F-10
Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Derivative financial instrumentsThe Company is exposed to the effect of interest rate changes in the normal course of business. Under certain circumstances, the Company mitigates these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures which include the periodic use of derivatives. The Companys primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the volatility that changes in interest rates could have on its future cash flows. The Company employs derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, including interest rate swaps and caps, to effectively convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
In November 2001, the Company purchased an interest rate cap for $905,000 to protect against an increase in the one month LIBOR rate on a $35 million variable rate loan the Company obtained in October 2001. SFAS 133 requires the Company to record the interest rate cap on the balance sheet at fair value and to record changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap in the statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized a $0.5 million gain on the fair market value of its LIBOR interest rate cap while recognizing a $0.9 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized a $0.3 million loss on the fair market value of the LIBOR interest rate cap. In October 2003, the Company sold the LIBOR interest rate cap for $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not own any derivative instruments.
Recent accounting pronouncements In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payments (SFAS No. 123(R)) which replaces SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. As such, pro forma disclosure in lieu of expensing is no longer an alternative. The new standard is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46-R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46-R). FIN 46-R clarified the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements and provided guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities or VIEs) and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either: (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entitys activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company adopted FIN 46-R during 2004 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

5. Unbilled Rent Receivable
The Company has operating leases with tenants that expire at various dates through 2018. The minimum rents due under these leases are subject to either scheduled fixed increases or adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. Generally accepted accounting principles require that rents due under operating leases with fixed increases be averaged over the life of the lease. This practice, known as straight-line rents creates an unbilled rent receivable in any period during which the amount of straight-line rent exceeds the actual rent billed (this occurs primarily at the inception of the lease period). As the lease approaches its expiration date, billed rent will eventually exceed the amount of straight-line rent causing the unbilled rent receivable to decline. The straight-line rent calculation assumes no new or re-negotiated rents or extension periods during the life of the lease and excludes operating cost reimbursements. The following table summarizes future rents due under existing leases and the corresponding straight-line rent calculation as of December 31, 2004:

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Neither the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Senior Care Partnership, the Roxbury Partnership, Valencia, Lyons, Coronado, Tustin II, Tustin III, 405 Bedford, 415 Bedford, 416 Bedford, 435 Bedford, 436 Bedford, Sherman Oaks, Regents, the Unconsolidated Affiliates nor any of the assets within their portfolios of MOBs, parking facilities, and retail space (the Properties) is currently a party to any material litigation, except as discussed below.
There were a number of common stockholder class actions pending against the Company and its directors that arose out of the proposal by Daniel M. Gottlieb, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Steven D. Lebowitz, the President of the Company, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock not then owned by them. The first suit, Lukoff v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number BC 241251, was filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, on December 4, 2000. A second suit, Abrons v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number 24-C-00-006109, was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, on December 14, 2000. This suit was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on June 7, 2001, and re-filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, case number BC 251479, on May 31, 2001. Morse v. G & L Realty Corp. et al., case number 221719-V, was filed in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, on May 17, 2001. Another suit, Harbor Finance Partners v. Daniel M. Gottlieb et al., case number BC 251593, was filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, on June 1, 2001. All these actions asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duty and seek compensatory damages and other relief. The Lukoff, Abrons and Harbor Finance actions were consolidated for all purposes, with Lukoff designated as the lead action. The Morse action was stayed pending the conclusion of the California class actions.
In addition, on April 4, 2002, a group of four former common stockholders of the Company filed an individual suit against the Company and its directors arising from the same conduct alleged in the putative class actions and the merger proposals made by those four stockholders in 2001. Lyle Weisman, et al. v. G & L Realty Corp., et al., case number BC 271401, asserted claims against the individual directors for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and violations of the California Corporations Code, sections 25400-25403 and 25500-25502. The fourth amended complaint also asserted a claim for unjust enrichment against Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz and a claim for unfair competition under Business and Professions Code sections 17200 et seq. against Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz and the
F-20
Company. The Court previously dismissed with prejudice Plaintiffs claims for negligent and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. The Weisman suit was consolidated with the Lukoff class actions for purposes of discovery.
The Company and the director defendants reached a settlement of the California class actions in June 2004 providing for a class settlement and release of claims and entry of judgment dismissing the action with prejudice. The Company and the director defendants, in June 2004, also reached a settlement of the Weisman suit also providing for a release of claims and entry of judgment dismissing the action with prejudice. The total payment in settlement of these suits was $1.25 million, of which approximately $1 million was paid from insurance.
The Company is the guarantor on a $513,602 letter of credit issued by U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bank) in favor of Fannie Mae c/o Greystone Servicing Corporation under which the Companys maximum liability is approximately $410,000. In December 1999, the Company purchased $1.3 million of subordinated bonds secured by an apartment complex located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At the time, a letter of credit for $513,602 was issued by the Bank of Oklahoma in favor of the issuer of the subordinated bonds in order to pay the interest payments on the secured debt of the property in the event the cash flow of the property was insufficient to meet such payments. The Company guaranteed $250,000 of this letter of credit. In December 2003, June 2004 and December 2004, the borrower defaulted on the semi-annual interest payment to the holders of the subordinated bonds. In July 2004, the letter of credit issued by the Bank of Oklahoma was called upon and the Company was required to fund the $250,000 that it had guaranteed. Subsequently, the current letter of credit was issued by U.S. Bank. The Companys partners in this investment are in the process of restructuring the management and operation of the property in order to make it profitable once again. As part of the restructuring, the letter of credit was called upon in March 2005. The Company recorded a reserve of $410,000 on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 related to its maximum liability with respect to the letter of credit.
11. Stockholders Equity
On December 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase by the Company of the 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for $4.44 million. The purchase price of $23.00 a share represented a 13% and 9% discount, respectively, to the market price of the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at the time. The Series C and Series D Preferred Stock rank on a parity with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and share pari passu in dividends and at liquidation. The Company completed the repurchase on December 30, 2004.
In September 2004, the Companys board of directors classified and designated 200,000 authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock as Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Companys currently outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and 200,000 authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock as Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Companys currently outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. The board of directors then authorized the exchange of the 90,797 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 102,290 shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, respectively.
On October 29, 2001, the Company completed a merger with G & L Acquisition, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, substantially on the terms provided for in the Agreement of Plan and Merger, dated as of May 10, 2001, as amended, by and between the Company and G & L Acquisition, LLC (the Merger). The Company was the survivor in the Merger. G & L Acquisition, LLC was owned by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company. Upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Companys Common Stock, other than a portion of the shares held by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, was converted into the right to receive $13.00 in cash, without interest. After completion of the Merger, the Companys Common Stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
In May 1997, the Company issued 1,495,000 shares of the 10.25% Series A Preferred Stock, from which it received net proceeds of $35.4 million. In November 1997, the Company issued 1,380,000 shares of 9.8% Series B Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of $32.6 million. The Companys preferred stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund requirements and is not convertible into or exchangeable for any property or other
F-21
securities of the Company. The Company, at its sole discretion, may call the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at any time. All classes of the Companys preferred stock have a par value of $0.01 and rank senior to the Companys common stock with respect to payment of dividends and upon liquidation. All classes of Preferred Stock are on parity with all other classes of the Companys Preferred Stock for payment of dividends and liquidation purposes. In the event of liquidation, or if the Company elects to call the Preferred Stock, holders of the Companys Preferred Stock are entitled to receive $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not such dividends have been declared by the Companys Board of Directors. Holders of the Companys Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive monthly dividends at an annual rate of $2.56 per share. Series B Preferred Stockholders are entitled to receive monthly dividends at an annual rate of $2.45 per share.
Distributions in excess of net income As described in Note 2, the Company has elected to be treated as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, cash distributed in the form of dividends to holders of the Companys Common Stock exceeded the Companys taxable income and is therefore considered to be a return of capital. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, 100% of the Companys common stock dividend was considered a return of capital to common stockholders. In 2004, dividends paid to holders of the Companys preferred stock were considered a 28.21% return of capital to preferred stockholders, 26.63% taxable as long-term capital gain, 8.99% taxable as Section 1250 unrecaptured gain on sale and the remaining 36.17% taxable as ordinary income. In 2003, dividends paid to holders of the Companys preferred stock were considered a 94.24% return of capital to preferred stockholders and the remaining 5.76% taxable as Section 1250 unrecaptured gain on sale. In 2002, dividends paid to holders of the Companys preferred stock were considered a 40.8% return of capital to preferred stockholders, 32.9% taxable as long-term capital gain, 3.4% taxable as Section 1250 unrecaptured gain on sale and the remaining 22.9% taxable as ordinary income.
12. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company is subject to all risks associated with leasing property, including but not limited to, the risk that upon the expiration of leases for space located in the Companys properties, the leases may not be renewed, the space may not be re-leased or the terms of renewal or re-leasing (including any cost of required renovations or concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than current lease terms. If the Company is unable to promptly re-lease or renew leases for a significant portion of its space or if the rental rates upon renewal or re-leasing are significantly lower than expected, the Companys earnings and the ability to make distributions to stockholders may be adversely affected. Most of the tenants in the Companys healthcare properties provide specialized health care services. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the communities and industry in which the tenants operate. No tenant occupies more than 2% of the Companys total square footage.
Many of the Companys medical office properties are in close proximity to one or more local hospitals. Relocation or closure of a local hospital could make the Companys nearby properties (particularly those outside of the Beverly Hills area) less desirable to doctors and healthcare providers affiliated with the hospital and affect the Companys ability to collect rent due under existing leases, renew leases and attract new business.
13. Segment Information
Prior to November 1, 2004, the Companys business consisted of the following segments:
| Medical office buildings These investments consist of 21 high quality MOBs, an office and retail facility and one parking facility totaling approximately 785,000 rentable square feet and all located in Southern California. These properties are owned either directly by the Company or indirectly through joint ventures. |
| Skilled nursing facilities These investments consisted of eight SNFs and one apartment complex. The Company previously held the operating license in three of the eight SNFs. On March 15, 2000, the Company obtained licenses from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to operate the three SNFs owned by the Company in Hampden, Massachusetts. The Company then entered into a management agreement with a third-party company to manage the facility. As a result, from March 15, 2000 through March 31, 2004, all of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of these SNFs were reflected in the consolidated |
F-22
financial statements of the Company and the segment information provided below. The Company was required to pay the applicable corporate income tax on any net income produced by the SNFs located in Hampden, Massachusetts, although the Companys REIT status was not affected. In February 2004, the manager of these facilities received approval from the Massachusetts Department of Health to obtain the operating licenses for the three facilities from the Company. The manager subsequently entered into lease agreements with the Company for these facilities effective on the date of the license transfers which occurred on April 1, 2004. Subsequent to the transfer of the licenses, licenses, the Company no longer reflects the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the operations of these three SNFs in its consolidated financial statements. |
| Assisted living facilities These investments consisted of two ALFs, owned through joint ventures. The two ALFs contain 172 units that are typically occupied by residents who require a less intense level of care in comparison to the SNFs. On September 30, 2004, the ALF owned by Lakeview was sold for $10.6 million. |
| Debt obligations These investments initially consisted of short-term secured and unsecured loans made to third parties to facilitate the acquisition of healthcare facilities. The Company is no longer in the business of lending money and has not originated any new loans since 2001. The Company is working to collect the balance of its loans that are currently outstanding, most of which have been partially or fully reserved. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had eight loans outstanding with a net book value of $7.6 million. |
After the spin-off of the SNF and ALF assets on November 1, 2004, the Company has one reportable segment MOBs.
The tables on the following pages reconcile the Companys income and expense activity for the years ending December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and balance sheet data as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

14. Related Party Transactions
On October 29, 2001, the Company completed a merger with G & L Acquisition, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, owned by Daniel M. Gottlieb and Steven D. Lebowitz, Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, of the Company. Upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Companys Common Stock, other than a portion of the shares held by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz, was converted into the right to receive $13.00 in cash, without interest. After completion of the Merger, the Companys Common Stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
As part of the Merger, the Operating Partnership loaned $5.2 million of the loan proceeds to Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz to fund a $3.5 million tender offer for the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and to repay $1.7 million of personal debt. Each of the $2.6 million loans to Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are for a term of ten years, due on October 31, 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of Libor plus 7.5% and require monthly interest only payments. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz have the option to accrue any and all interest payments, which shall then be added to the principal balance of the notes. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal balance on the notes was $5.1 million. For purposes of presentation in these consolidated financial statements, the $5.1 million balance has been reflected on the balance sheet as a deduction to stockholders equity.
On November 1, 2004, the Company spun-off all of its skilled nursing facility and assisted living facility assets to its common stockholders of record on November 1, 2004. Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz are the sole common stockholders of the Company. In total, skilled nursing and assisted living assets having a net equity of $9.0 million, derived from current independent property appraisals less the existing property debt, have been distributed as a dividend to these stockholders. This transaction is described in greater detail in Footnote 1 above.

During 2004, general and administrative costs totaling $243,723 were allocated to G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC pursuant to the cost sharing agreement between the two companies discussed in Footnote 1 above. As of December 31, 2004, G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC owed the Company $133,971 related to these allocated general and administrative costs. This amount is recorded under tenant rent and reimbursements receivable on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 and was paid by G&L Senior Care Properties, LLC to the Company in January 2005.
On December 30, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase by the Company of the 90,797 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the 102,290 shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by Messrs. Gottlieb and Lebowitz for $4.44 million. The purchase price of $23.00 a share represented a 13% and 9% discount, respectively, to the market price of the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at the time. The Series C and Series D Preferred Stock rank on a parity with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and share pari passu in dividends and at liquidation. The Company completed the repurchase on December 30, 2004.
During 2004, the Company paid S. Craig Tompkins, a member of the Board of Directors, $100,500 for legal and consulting services performed in connection with the spin-off of the Companys senior care assets and the potential offering of preferred stock. These fees were in addition to the regular fees paid to the members of the Board of Directors. In January 2005, the Company paid Mr. Tompkins $250,000 for legal services performed on behalf of the Company and its board of directors in connection with the stockholder litigation described in Footnote 10.
15. Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS 144, the net income or loss and the net gain or loss on dispositions of operating properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2003 are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 2).
