(1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
NexCore Healthcare Capital Corp (the “Company”, “we”, ”us” or “our”), formerly CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. (“CapTerra”) is a full service health care real estate development company. We provide asset and property management services, development, acquisition, ownership, financing and leasing. We also invest in and manage medical office and other healthcare related real estate throughout the United States.
The Company completed a business combination with NexCore Group LP on September 29, 2010 which was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior share amounts for NexCore have been retroactively adjusted by the share exchange ratio in connection with the business combination. Thus the historical operating results, cashflows and financial position presented in the consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations are those of NexCore.
On March 25, 2011, the Company transferred its interest in nine subsidiaries holding real estate assets with a carrying amount of approximately $7.2 million to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO Investments, LLC (an affiliate of CapTerra) in exchange for assuming our Subordinated Debt facilities from BOCO Investments, LLC and GDBA Investments LLC (also an affiliate of CapTerra) and our credit facility with First Citizens Bank. The transaction resulted in loss of $13,461 on the financial statements. All debt that was assumed by CDA Fund, LLC is no longer obligations of the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates entities deemed to be voting interest entities if the Company owns a majority of the voting interest. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in non-controlled affiliates in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence but not control. The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company provides for non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries for which the Company’s ownership is less than 100 percent. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
A VIE is an entity in which either (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or (b) the group of holders of the equity investment at risk lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has the obligation to absorb a majority of the expected losses or the right to receive the majority of the residual returns. The Company continually evaluates whether entities in which it has an interest are VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified in its analysis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We continually monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which we invest. We had $1,001,087 in restricted cash as of March 31, 2011 and $1,006,342 as of December 31, 2010 related to certain minimum balances the Company is required to maintain due to guarantees related to our development agreements. The restricted cash is related to the equity method investment discussed in Note 3.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers. The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based on specific customer balance collection issues identified. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded an allowance of $1,629.
Pre-Development Costs
In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts,” the Company has capitalized certain third-party costs related to prospective development projects. Such costs remain on the balance sheet until we determine if the project is likely to proceed. These costs include, but are not limited to, legal fees, marketing, travel, architectural and engineering, due diligence and other costs. If we determine we are going to proceed with the project, the costs recorded as pre-development costs on the consolidated Balance Sheet are submitted as a development draw and will be reimbursed to the Company. If it is deemed probable by management that a prospective project will not materialize, any related costs on the consolidated Balance Sheet are expensed and recorded as selling, general and administrative costs on the consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company does not capitalize any internal costs as pre-development costs.
Revenue Recognition
Certain revenue arrangements require management judgments and estimates. Development fees are recognized over the life of a development project on the percentage of completion method where the circumstances are such that total profit can be estimated with reasonable accuracy and ultimate realization is reasonably assured. The percentage of completion uses actual hours spent internally on the project compared to the total forecasted hours to be spent on the project. If estimates of total hours require adjustment, the impact on revenue is recognized prospectively. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $263,066 and $-0- respectively, of revenue in excess of billings which represent the difference between actual billable revenue and the revenue calculated using the percentage of completion method.
The Company sources tenants and negotiates leases for buildings it manages and in return is paid a leasing commission. Leasing commission revenue is recognized based on each negotiated contract with the building owner and is recognized as services are performed unless future contingencies exist.
Property management fees and legal consultation fees are recognized monthly as services are performed, unless future obligations exist. Acquisition and disposition fees are recognized at the culmination of the purchase or sale of a building.
Certain contractual arrangements for services provide for the delivery of multiple services. The Company evaluates revenue recognition for each service to be rendered under these arrangements using criteria set forth in the ASC topic, “Multiple-Element Arrangements.” For services that meet the separability criteria, revenue is recognized separately. For services that do not meet these criteria, revenue is recognized on a combined basis.
In addition, in regard to development service contracts, the owner of the property will typically reimburse the Company for certain expenses that are incurred on behalf of the owner. The Company bases the treatment of reimbursable expenses for financial reporting purposes upon the fee structure of the underlying contract. Contracts are accounted for on a net basis when the fee structure is comprised of at least two distinct elements, namely (i) a fixed management fee and (ii) a separate component that allows for expenses to be billed directly to the client. When accounting on a net basis, the Company includes the fixed management fee in reported revenue and nets the reimbursement against expenses. The Company bases this accounting on the following factors, which defines the Company as an agent rather than a principal:
   
The property owner, with ultimate approval rights relating to the expenditures and bearing all of the economic costs of such expenditures, is determined to be the primary obligor in the arrangement;

Table of Contents

   
Because the property owner is contractually obligated to fund all operating costs of the property from existing cash flow or direct funding from its building operating account, the Company bears little or no credit risk; and
 
   
The Company generally earns no margin in the reimbursement aspect of the arrangement, obtaining reimbursement only for actual costs incurred.
All of our service contracts are accounted for on a net basis. This treatment has no impact on operating income, net income or cash flows.
See Note 8 for a detail of revenue recognized by activity for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for under the equity method and generally include all entities in which the Company has the ability to exert significant influence, has less than 50 percent voting control, and is not considered the primary beneficiary. All transactions, if any, with equity method investments has been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Guarantees
A guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Management continually evaluates guarantees made to determine if the guarantee meets the criteria required to record a liability. As of March 31, 2011 our guarantee, referred to in Note 5, met the criteria to be recorded as a liability; however, the amount was de minimus and no value was recorded.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of these financial instruments is considered to be representative of their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes an hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
  Level 1:  
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  Level 2:  
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or
  Level 3:  
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Earnings Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is determined by dividing the net income by the sum of (1) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and (2) if not anti-dilutive, the effect of stock awards determined utilizing the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive effect of the outstanding awards for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Because the business combination on September 29, 2010 was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, the number of common shares outstanding from the beginning of the applicable period to the acquisition date were computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of partnership units of NexCore Group LP (“NexCore”) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement, which was 5,880 shares for each partnership unit (the “Exchange Ratio”). The weighted average number of shares used in the earnings per share calculations were based on historical weighted-average number of partnership units outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio. The number of common shares outstanding from the acquisition date to the end of the applicable period is the actual number of common shares of the Company outstanding during that period.

Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest is a portion of the equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable to the parent. In accordance with ASC 810, non-controlling interests are reported on the consolidated Balance Sheet in the equity section and on the consolidated Statement of Operations separate from the consolidated entities net income or loss. The Company currently has a 90% ownership interest in NexCore and NexCore Partners, Inc. owns the remaining 10%, which is treated as a non-controlling interest on our financial statements. The Company allocates 10% of net income or loss, in the NexCore Group, LP, to the non-controlling interest.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets, including those related to tax loss carry forwards and credits, and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to require additional disclosures related to transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and enhanced detail in the Level 3 reconciliation. The guidance was amended to clarify the level of disaggregation required for assets and liabilities and the disclosures required for inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The updated guidance was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010, with the exception of the Level 3 disaggregation which is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2011 and 2010, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
(2) Real Estate Held for Sale
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had nine non-medical properties classified as real estate held for sale totaling $7,191,821, three of which, representing a total cost of $3,506,054, were completed projects and six of which, representing a total cost of $3,685,767, were raw land. These non-medical properties were all related to the legacy CapTerra business. The Company, after its business combination, is focused on healthcare real estate and has elected to dispose of all non-medical real estate assets.
On March 25, 2011 the Company transferred its interest in nine subsidiaries holding these real estate assets to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO Investments, LLC in exchange for assuming the Company’s Subordinated Debt facilities from BOCO and GDBA and our credit facility with First Citizens Bank. The transaction resulted in a loss of $13,461. Related party debt that was assumed by CDA Fund, LLC is no longer an obligation of the Company. CDA will also assume any and all other future contingencies related to this transaction.

As discussed in Note 2, on March 25, 2011, the Company transferred its interest in nine subsidiaries holding real estate assets to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO in exchange for assuming our Subordinated Debt facilities from BOCO, GDBA, and our credit facility with First Citizens Bank. Related party debt that was assumed by CDA Fund, LLC is no longer obligations of the Company.

Guarantees
On September 29, 2010, the Company executed a project completion guaranty in connection with a construction loan agreement between US Bank and SCH MSB LLC, an unconsolidated variable interest entity and our equity method investment. The guaranty agreement unconditionally guarantees the lender the project will be completed, all costs will be paid, and the property will be free and clear of all liens prior to the release of this guaranty. As of March 31, 2011 the Company believes any amounts associated with this guarantee will be de minimus and therefore has not recorded a corresponding liability.
Revenue
The main sources of income of the Company are development fees, property and asset management fees, leasing fees and commissions. Of these revenue sources approximately ten were classified as related party transactions because certain officers of the Company have, or the Company itself has, an ownership interest in these entities.
Accordingly we recorded $414,487 and $253,885 of related party revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.
(6) Notes Payable
Citizens Bank Senior Credit Facility
At December 31, 2010, the Company had one outstanding note originally issued under a former real estate credit facility with a principal balance of $3,615,869. As discussed previously, on March 25, 2011 we transferred, subject to the related debt, our interest in nine subsidiaries holding real estate assets to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is no longer responsible for amounts due under the credit facility.
Cypress Sound, LLC
At December 31, 2010, Cypress Sound, LLC (“Cypress”), a subsidiary of the Company, had one note payable with a principal amount of $300,000, secured by a first deed of trust on the property held by Cypress and a personal guarantee by our partner in Cypress. The interest-only note carried a rate of 12% and was scheduled to mature on February 13, 2011. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company fully paid the balance due on this note.
(7) Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Options
On February 1, 2011 the Company granted a total of 250,000 options to purchase common stock to one of our employees, which have a seven year term and will vest over four years. The options have an exercise price of $1.05 per share, which was the fair value of the stock on the day of the grant. Given a risk free rate of 2.79%, expected term of 7 years, no dividends, forfeiture rate of 0.0%, and a volatility input of 86.45%, the estimated fair value of each option was $0.81 per share, future expense to be recognized over the vesting period is expected to be $202,439.
The total option expense recorded for the period ending March 31, 2011 is $19,382. Total future compensation expense is $345,743.

Leases
The Company leases its primary office space. The lease requires monthly base rent payments of approximately $20,115 for the first year and then incremental increases each year thereafter. The new lease started January 1, 2011 and expires December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company pays certain facility operating costs as a portion of rent expense.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company has been undergoing tenant improvements to the Denver office. The landlord has agreed to provide a $245,000 allowance for tenant improvements and $186,600 rent abatement that, upon receipt, will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.
In accordance with ASC 840, the Company has recognized all reductions outlined in the office lease, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the straight-line amount recorded as an expense on the consolidated Statement of Operations is $60,352. The difference between the amount paid and the amount recorded as an expense is recorded as a deferred amount on the consolidated Balance Sheet. As of March 31, 2011, that amount is $69,952.
Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease approximate the following:

Common Stock
We are required to issue an additional 8,000,000 shares of common stock if we do not have a specified amount of net operating loss carry forwards for State and Federal income tax purposes (collectively, “ NOLs “) for use during the period from the closing to January 1, 2014 (the “ NOL Shares “). If issued, the NOL Shares will be issued to each former NexCore partner in proportion to the amount of shares such partner received in the Acquisition. The determination of our NOLs will be based on our Federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2011, the Company deems the issuance of these shares not to be probable. As such, we have not recorded any contingent consideration for possible issuance of these shares as of March 31, 2011.
(10) Concentrations
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, approximately 24% of the Company’s revenue was recognized in association with one development project. The Company had no concentrations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
(11) Subsequent Events
On April 1, 2011, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”) and changed its name from CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. to NexCore Healthcare Capital Corp. The Reincorporation is not expected to affect any of the Company’s contracts with third parties; result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, or management; result in any change in the location of any of the Company’s offices or facilities; or affect the assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation) of the Company.

Overview
On September 29, 2010, CapTerra Financial Group, Inc.(“CapTerra”) completed a business combination with NexCore Group LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“NexCore). In connection with this business combination, CapTerra’s former operations were discontinued and the Company continued NexCore’s existing business as a national leader in the field of healthcare real estate development and management.
As a result, the Company provides real estate solutions for healthcare providers through a national platform for the development, ownership and management of healthcare real estate including, but not limited to, on-campus and off-campus, multi-suite healthcare real estate and medical services buildings; free-standing satellite emergency department facilities; medical malls; multi-specialty physician group practices; outpatient care center (including musculoskeletal centers, cancer centers, neuroscience centers); and single-specialty centers (such as orthopedics, otolaryngology, arthritis, or cardiology). Such facilities are likely to include clinical space for physician care, surgery, imaging, dialysis, physical/occupational therapy, laboratory, surgical hospitals, specialty hospital centers, rehabilitation centers (either under hospital or skilled nursing licensure) or other specialty care centers are also considered a part of our business plan dependent upon the relationships to other on- or off-campus healthcare providers and/or hospital systems (collectively, “Healthcare Real Estate”). The Company provides a full spectrum of strategy, development, acquisition, ownership, financing, leasing, and asset and property management services for Healthcare Real Estate.

Table of Contents

We plan to assemble a portfolio of high-quality, hospital-affiliated real estate, with particular emphasis on the acquisition and development of Healthcare Real Estate and ambulatory care facilities. Our business plan contemplates investments in Healthcare Real Estate development projects, such as the September 2010 ground-breaking of the 178,000 square foot Medical Services Building that is connected directly to the new Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, Illinois. We may also acquire existing medical properties as we build our portfolio of Healthcare Real Estate assets.
We plan to continue NexCore’s strategy of investing in limited liability companies and similar entities (“Real Estate Partnerships”), whereby we co-invest our capital with other third party institutional capital sources to develop and acquire Healthcare Real Estate. We may also retain a promoted profits interest in most Real Estate Partnerships.
NexCore was originally created in 2004 to solve real estate issues for hospitals and healthcare systems through a national platform for the development, ownership and management of Healthcare Real Estate.
On April 1, 2011, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”) and changed its name from CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. to NexCore Healthcare Capital Corp. The Reincorporation is not expected to affect any of the Company’s contracts with third parties; result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, or management; result in any change in the location of any of the Company’s offices or facilities; or affect the assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation) of the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
For a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and understanding of our results of operations, and that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, see Item 7- “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and incorporated by reference herein. Management periodically re-evaluates and adjusts the estimates that are used as circumstances change. As of March 31, 2011, there were no significant changes in those critical accounting estimates.
Results of Operations
The following discussion involves our results of operations for the three months ending March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. On September 29, 2010, NexCore Group LP combined with CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, thus the historical operating results, cashflows and financial position presented in the consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations are those of NexCore.
Our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $859,619 compared to $611,656 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in revenue is primarily due to our increased development and leasing activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Development fees and leasing fees will tend to fluctuate from quarter to quarter with our development activity.
We had $142,912 of direct costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $89,683 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in costs is directly related to the increase in development activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. On a quarterly basis, compensation related to the hours worked on revenue generating projects are recorded as direct costs.
Selling, general and administrative costs were $1,805,301 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1,097,457 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase was attributed to additional staffing associated with the merger and increased salary expense. While we continue to manage our expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses are projected to trend upward and downward in relation to our development and leasing activity in any given quarter.
We had a net loss of $1,088,114 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of $574,911 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Of the net loss, $108,811 was attributable to a non-controlling interest, resulting in a net loss attributable to our common stockholders of $979,303. The increase in our net loss was due primarily to higher operating costs associated with our investment in the Company’s growth plan, partially offset by increased revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $2,307,919 on March 31, 2011 compared to $1,642,851 on March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of the business combination with CapTerra offset by the equity method of investment as described in Note 3, as well as cash used in operations of the Company. The Company meets its liquidity needs and finances its capital expenditures from its available cash and funds provided by operations along with borrowings under the credit facility with BOCO.
Cash used in operating activities was $1,049,605 and $602,604 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to our increased development activity. In addition, the Company increased staffing after the business combination in 2010 which increased payroll salaries and benefits. Given the time involved in closing our development projects, our cash flow from operations will fluctuate with our development activity.
Cash used by investing activities was $156,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $5,382 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was due to the corporate office remodel costs and software and equipment upgrades. Given the time involved in closing our development projects, our cash flow from operations is expected to fluctuate with the level of our development activity.
The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit with BOCO that is fully available to us with no current balance outstanding as of March 31, 2011. This facility matures on June 25, 2011.
On March 25, 2011, the Company transferred its interest in nine subsidiaries holding real estate assets with a carrying amount of approximately $7.2 million to CDA Fund, LLC, a subsidiary of BOCO Investments, LLC (an affiliate of CapTerra) in exchange for assuming our Subordinated Debt facilities from BOCO Investments, LLC and GDBA Investments LLC (also an affiliate of CapTerra) and our credit facility with First Citizens Bank. The transaction resulted in a loss of $13,461 on the financial statements. All debt that was assumed by CDA Fund, LLC is no longer an obligation of the Company.
Management continues to assess our capital resources in relation to our ability to fund operations and new investments on an ongoing basis. As such, management may seek to access the capital markets to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity, debt or a combination of both in order to fund our operations and future growth.
ITEM 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information in this Item.
ITEM 4—Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
There were no changes in our internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A—Risk Factors.
Risks Related to Our Operations and Properties
The factors described below represent our principal risks. Other factors may exist that we do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available or that we are not currently able to anticipate. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed below could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our common stock. Potential investors and our stockholders may be referred to as “you” or “your” in this Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” section.
We may not be profitable in the future.
Real estate development is cyclical in nature, so it is difficult for us to accurately forecast our quarterly and annual revenue. Most of our expenses are fixed in the short term or incurred in advance of anticipated revenue. As a result, we may not be able to decrease our expenses in a timely manner to offset any revenue shortfall.
We will need additional capital in the future, but it may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
In order to continue adding new real estate projects we will need additional debt and equity capital. To date, we have been successful in obtaining capital, but additional capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. We expect to rely principally upon our ability to access capital (debt and equity) through co-investment by third parties in Real Estate Partnerships, the success of which cannot be guaranteed.
We may not be able to manage our growth.
We hope to experience growth which, if achieved, may stretch our managerial, operational and financial systems. To accommodate our current size and manage growth, we intend to continue to improve our financial and operational systems.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including: the demand for our services and properties; the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the development of our properties; price competition or pricing changes in the industry; technical or regulatory difficulties; general economic conditions; and economic conditions specific to the healthcare industry. Our quarterly results may also be significantly impacted by the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. At our current size, such accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any quarter.

Recent adverse macroeconomic and business conditions may continue
The United States has undergone and may continue to experience a prolonged recession that has been marked by pervasive and fundamental disruptions in the financial markets. Continued concerns regarding the uncertainty of whether the U.S. economy will be adversely affected by inflation, deflation or stagflation and the systemic impact of increased unemployment, volatile energy costs, geopolitical issues, sovereign debt, currency fluctuations, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market and a severely distressed real estate market have contributed to increased market volatility and weakened business. The United States may not experience a sustained recovery and could suffer pronounced instability and decreased economic activity for an extended period of time. Our operations are sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions that impact our tenants, including, among other things, increased bad debts due to such recessionary pressures.
We may face adverse economic or other conditions in the geographic markets in which we conduct business
Our operating results depend upon our ability to pre-lease and lease our projects. Adverse economic or other conditions in the geographic markets in which we operate, including periods of economic slowdown or recession, industry slowdowns, periods of deflation, relocation of businesses, changing demographics, earthquakes and other natural disasters, fires, terrorist acts, civil disturbances or acts of war and other man-made disasters which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses, and changes in tax, real estate, zoning and other laws and regulations, may lower our occupancy levels and limit our ability to increase rents or require us to offer rental concessions.
Our real estate investments are concentrated in Healthcare Real Estate
We are subject to risks inherent in concentrated investments in real estate, and the risks resulting from a lack of diversification become even greater as a result of our business strategy to concentrate our investments in the Healthcare Real Estate sector. Any adverse effects that result from these risks could be more pronounced than if we diversified our investments outside of Healthcare Real Estate. Given our concentration in this sector, our tenant base is especially concentrated and dependent upon the healthcare industry generally, and any industry downturn could harm the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to maintain current rental and occupancy rates.
Our Healthcare Real Estate, the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our Healthcare Real Estate projects are strategically aligned, and our tenants may be unable to compete successfully.
Our Healthcare Real Estate and the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our Healthcare Real Estate projects are strategically aligned often face competition from nearby hospitals and other Healthcare Real Estate projects that provide comparable services. Any of our properties may be adversely affected if the healthcare delivery system with which it is strategically aligned is unable to compete successfully. There are numerous factors that determine the ability of a healthcare delivery system to compete successfully, most of which are outside of our control.
Our tenants face competition from other medical practices and service providers at nearby hospitals and other Healthcare Real Estate. From time to time and for reasons beyond our control, managed care organizations may change their lists of preferred hospitals or in-network physicians. Physicians also may change hospital affiliations. If competitors of our tenants or competitors of the associated healthcare delivery systems with which our Healthcare Real Estate are strategically aligned have greater geographic coverage, improve access and convenience to physicians and patients, provide or are perceived to provide higher quality services, recruit physicians to provide competing services at their facilities, expand or improve their services or obtain more favorable managed care contracts, our tenants may not be able to successfully compete which could have an adverse impact on our projects.
A material aspect of our business is investment in Healthcare Real Estate which can be highly illiquid
Our activities are primarily focused in real estate investment. Our operations will depend, among other things, upon our ability to finance or monetize our projects with additional or new equity partnerships. In the interim, such projects can be expected to be highly illiquid.

Table of Contents

We may not realize the benefits that we anticipate from focusing on Healthcare Real Estate
As part of our business strategy, we focus on Healthcare Real Estate that is strategically aligned with a healthcare delivery system. We may not realize the benefits that we anticipate as a result of these strategic relationships. In particular, we may not obtain or realize increased rents, long-term tenants, or reduced tenant turnover rates as compared to Healthcare Real Estate with which we are not strategically aligned. Moreover, building a portfolio of Healthcare Real Estate that is strategically aligned does not assure the success of any given property. The associated healthcare delivery system may not be successful and the strategic alignment that we seek for our Healthcare Real Estate could dissolve, and we may not succeed in replacing them.
Our investments in development and re-development projects may not yield anticipated returns
A key component of our business plan is new-asset development and re-development opportunities. Our investment in these projects will be subject to the following risks:
   
we may be unable to obtain financing for these projects on reasonable terms or at all;
 
   
we may not complete development or re-development projects on schedule or within budgeted amounts due to a variety of factors, including materials and labor shortages and price increases;
 
   
we may encounter delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations; and
 
   
we may be unable to achieve planned occupancy levels as quickly as expected or at all
We may not be successful in identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions or development opportunities in our existing or new geographic markets.
Our ability to expand through acquisitions and development opportunities is integral to our business strategy and requires that we identify suitable acquisition or development opportunities that meet our criteria and are compatible with our growth strategy. We may not be successful in identifying suitable properties or other assets that meet our acquisition or development criteria or in consummating acquisitions or developments on satisfactory terms or at all for a number of reasons, including, among other things, unsatisfactory results of our due diligence investigations, failure to obtain financing for the acquisition or development on favorable terms or at all, and our misjudgment of the value of the opportunities.
We may face increasing competition for the acquisition and development of Healthcare Real Estate
We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions and development of Healthcare Real Estate, including national, regional and local operators, acquirers and developers of healthcare-related real estate properties. The competition for healthcare-related real estate properties may significantly increase the price that we must pay for Healthcare Real Estate or other assets that we seek to acquire on the yield we can obtain on new development projects, and our competitors may succeed in acquiring or developing those properties or assets themselves.
We may not be successful in integrating and operating acquired or newly-developed Healthcare Real Estate in the future.
If we acquire or develop Healthcare Real Estate, we will be required to operate and integrate them into our existing operations. While we believe that our infrastructure is scalable, our systems and processes may not be able to efficiently handle the anticipated growth in our operations. We may not have the requisite resources and personnel necessary to successfully operate and integrate acquired or newly developed Healthcare Real Estate into our existing portfolio in the future, and we may need to incur substantial unanticipated costs to meet our operating needs.

Table of Contents

In addition, any Healthcare Real Estate that we acquire or develop in the future may be less compatible with our growth strategy than we originally anticipated, may cause disruptions in our operations or may divert management’s attention away from daily operations.
We are exposed to risks associated with Real Estate Partnerships.
We have entered into Real Estate Partnerships and will likely do so in the future. We anticipate that we will co-invest with third parties through Real Estate Partnership with the third parties acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for the management of such entities. We are not, and generally do not expect to be, in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the Real Estate Partnership. Consequently, our Real Estate Partnership investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment in real estate. For example, our co-member, co-venturer or partner may have economic or business interests or goals that are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and we and our partner may not agree on all proposed actions to certain aspects of the Real Estate Partnership. Our partners might fail to fund their share of required capital contributions which may delay construction or development of a Healthcare Real Estate project or increase our financial commitment to the Real Estate Partnership. In addition, relationships with venture partners are contractual in nature. These agreements may restrict our ability to sell our interest when we desire or on advantageous terms and, on the other hand, may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the agreements and, in each event, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or assets underlying the relationship or may need to purchase these interests or assets to continue ownership.
We may develop and acquire Healthcare Real Estate subject to ground or air space leases that will expose us to the loss of such buildings upon a breach or termination of the ground or air space leases.
We intend to develop and acquire Healthcare Real Estate through leasehold interests in the land or air space underlying the buildings or the air space above the buildings. Our ground or air space leases do and will in the future contain restrictions on use and transfer, such as limiting the subletting of the Healthcare Real Estate only to practicing physicians or physicians in good standing with an affiliated hospital. The use and transfer restrictions in our ground and air space leases may limit our ability to sell our buildings which, in turn, could harm the price realized from any such sale. Additionally, our ground and air space leases generally grant the lessor rights of purchase and rights of first offer and refusal in the event that we elect to sell the Healthcare Real Estate associated with the ground lease. As lessee under a ground or air space lease, we are also exposed to the possibility of losing the medical office building upon termination, or an earlier breach by us, of the lease, which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
The success of our business is dependent upon our management.
The success of our business is dependent upon the decision making of our directors and executive officers, particularly Messrs. Gregory C. Venn, and Peter Kloepfer who not only are executives for the firm but also are on the board and have a controlling interest in the board through the voting trust. These individuals intend to commit as much time as necessary to our business, but this commitment is no assurance of success. The loss of one or both of these individuals could have a material, adverse impact on our operations. We have not obtained key man life insurance on the lives of any of these individuals.
A voting trust controlled by Messrs Venn and Kloepfer owns 19,150,669 shares out of 49,455,841 shares issued and outstanding, or approximately a 38.7% interest. While this does not represent majority control, the number of shares subject to the voting trust gives the voting trust the ability to significantly influence any matters to be decided by the stockholders. As a result, if they choose to vote, the voting trust would be able to significantly influence the outcome of any corporate matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including any transaction that might cause a change in control, such as a merger or acquisition. It is unlikely that stockholders in favor of a matter which is opposed by the voting trust would be able to obtain the number of votes necessary to overrule the vote of the voting trust. Further, the control by the voting trust means that it may make decisions for us with which you may disagree or that you may feel is not in our best interests. This arrangement could particularly create a conflict of interest with respect to our operations if the voting trust were to vote its shares in its own best interests and not in the interests of all stockholders.

Uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage could harm our financial condition and our cash flows.
We maintain comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake, wind (as deemed necessary or as required by our lenders), extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to our properties. Certain types of losses, however, may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable, such as losses due to earthquakes, riots, acts of war or terrorism. Should an uninsured loss occur, we could lose both our investment in and anticipated profits and cash flows from a medical office building. If any such loss is insured, we may be required to pay a significant deductible on any claim for recovery of such a loss prior to our insurer being obligated to reimburse us for the loss, or the amount of the loss may exceed our coverage for the loss. In addition, future lenders may require such insurance, and our failure to obtain such insurance could constitute a default under loan agreements. We may determine not to insure some or all of our properties at levels considered customary in our industry and which would expose us to an increased risk of loss. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our common stock may be harmed.
If any of our insurance carriers become insolvent, we could be adversely impacted.
We carry several different lines of insurance which are placed with several reputable insurance carriers. If any one of these insurance carriers were to become insolvent, we would be forced to replace the existing insurance coverage with another suitable carrier, and any outstanding claims would be at risk for collection. In such an event, we may not be able to realize proceeds from our insurance policies with respect to any claims that we have or replace the coverage at similar or otherwise favorable terms. Replacing insurance coverage at unfavorable rates and the potential for uncollectible claims due to carrier insolvency could harm our results of operations and cash flows.
We face environmental compliance costs and liabilities associated with owning, leasing, developing and operating our properties.
Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, current and prior owners and operators of real estate may be jointly and severally liable for the costs of investigating, remediating and monitoring certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials on or in such property. In addition to these costs, the past or present owner or operator of a property from which a release emanates could be liable for any personal injury or property damage that results from such releases, including for the unauthorized release of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous substances into the air, as well as any damages to natural resources or the environment that arise from such releases. These environmental laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the current or prior owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or release of such substances or materials. Moreover, the release of hazardous substances or materials, or the failure to properly remediate such substances or materials, may adversely affect the owner’s or operator’s ability to lease, sell, develop or rent such property or to borrow by using such property as collateral. Persons who transport or arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person.
Certain environmental laws impose compliance obligations on owners and operators of real property with respect to the management of hazardous substances and other regulated materials. For example, environmental laws govern the management and removal of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties or other sanctions.

Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry
Recent healthcare reform legislation may affect our business in ways that are difficult to predict.
In March 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”), which will change how healthcare services are covered, delivered and reimbursed through expanded coverage of uninsured individuals and reduced Medicare program spending. In addition, the new law reforms certain aspects of health insurance, expands existing efforts to tie Medicare and Medicaid payments to performance and quality and contains provisions intended to strengthen fraud and abuse enforcement. The complexities and ramifications of PPACA are significant and will be implemented in a phased approach beginning in 2010. At this time, it is difficult to predict the full effects of PPACA and its impact on our business, our revenues and financial condition and those of our tenants due to the law’s complexity, lack of implementing regulations or interpretive guidance, gradual implementation and possible amendment. Further, we are unable to foresee how individuals and businesses will respond to the choices afforded them by PPACA. PPACA could adversely affect the reimbursement rates received by our tenants, the financial success of our tenants and strategic partners and consequently us.
We may be impacted by adverse trends in healthcare provider operations.
The healthcare industry is currently experiencing, among other things:
   
changes in the demand for and methods of delivering healthcare services;
 
   
changes in third party reimbursement methods and policies;
 
   
consolidation and pressure to integrate within the healthcare industry through acquisitions and Real Estate Partnerships; and
 
   
increased scrutiny of billing, referral and other practices by U.S. federal and state authorities.
These factors may adversely affect the economic performance of some or all of our tenants and, in turn, our lease revenues.
Reductions in reimbursement from third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, could adversely affect the profitability of our tenants and hinder their ability to make rent payments to us or renew their lease.
Sources of revenue for our tenants typically include the U.S. federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance payors and health maintenance organizations. Healthcare providers continue to face increased government and private payor pressure to control or reduce healthcare costs and significant reductions in healthcare reimbursement, including reduced reimbursements and changes to payment methodologies under PPACA. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, estimates the reductions required by PPACA over the next ten years will include $233 billion in cuts to Medicare fee-for-service payments, the majority of which will come from hospitals, and that some hospitals will become insolvent as a result of the reductions. In some cases, private insurers rely upon all or portions of the Medicare payment systems to determine payment rates which may result in decreased reimbursement from private insurers. PPACA will likely increase enrollment in plans offered by private insurers who choose to participate in state-run exchanges, but PPACA also imposes new requirements for the health insurance industry, including prohibitions upon excluding individuals based upon pre-existing conditions which may increase private insurer costs and, thereby, cause private insurers to reduce their payment rates to providers.

The slowdown in the United States economy has negatively affected state budgets, thereby putting pressure on states to decrease spending on state programs including Medicaid. The need to control Medicaid expenditures may be exacerbated by the potential for increased enrollment in state Medicaid programs due to unemployment and declines in family incomes. Historically, states have often attempted to reduce Medicaid spending by limiting benefits and tightening Medicaid eligibility requirements. Many states have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, legislation designed to enroll Medicaid recipients in managed care programs and/or impose additional taxes on hospitals to help finance or expand the states’ Medicaid systems. Potential reductions to Medicaid program spending in response to state budgetary pressures could adversely affect the ability of our tenants to successfully operate their businesses.
Efforts by payors to reduce healthcare costs will likely continue which may result in reductions or slower growth in reimbursement for certain services provided by some of our tenants. A reduction in reimbursements to our tenants from third-party payors for any reason could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated, and new laws or regulations, changes to existing laws or regulations, loss of licensure or failure to obtain licensure could harm our company and result in the inability of our tenants to make rent payments to us.
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by U.S. federal, state and local governmental authorities. Our tenants generally will be subject to laws and regulations covering, among other things, licensure, certification for participation in government programs, billing for services, privacy and security of health information and relationships with physicians and other referral sources. In addition, new laws and regulations, changes in existing laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of such laws or regulations could harm our financial condition and the financial condition of our tenants. These changes, in some cases, could apply retroactively. The enactment, timing or effect of legislative or regulatory changes cannot be predicted.
Many states also regulate the construction of healthcare facilities, the expansion of healthcare facilities, the construction or expansion of certain services, including by way of example specific bed types and medical equipment, as well as certain capital expenditures through certificate of need, or CON, laws. Under such laws, the applicable state regulatory body must determine a need exists for a project before the project can be undertaken. If one of our tenants seeks to undertake a CON-regulated project, but is not authorized by the applicable regulatory body to proceed with the project, the tenant would be prevented from operating in its intended manner.
Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm us directly and our tenants’ ability to make rent payments to us which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
Our tenants and our company are subject to fraud and abuse laws, the violation of which by a tenant may jeopardize the tenant’s ability to make rent payments to us.
There are various federal and state laws prohibiting fraudulent and abusive business practices by healthcare providers who participate in, receive payments from or are in a position to make referrals in connection with government-sponsored healthcare programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Our lease arrangements with certain tenants may also be subject to these fraud and abuse laws.
These laws include without limitation:
   
the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, the referral of any federal or state healthcare program patients;
 
   
the Federal Physician Self-Referral Prohibition (commonly called the “Stark Law”), which, subject to specific exceptions, restricts physicians who have financial relationships with healthcare providers from making referrals for designated health services for which payment may be made under Medicare or Medicaid programs to an entity with which the physician, or an immediate family member, has a financial relationship;

the False Claims Act, which prohibits any person from knowingly presenting false or fraudulent claims for payment to the federal government, including under the Medicare and Medicaid programs;
 
   
the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to impose monetary penalties for certain fraudulent acts; and
 
   
state anti-kickback, anti-inducement, anti-referral and insurance fraud laws which may be generally similar to, and potentially more expansive than, the federal laws set forth above.
Violations of these laws may result in criminal and/or civil penalties that range from punitive sanctions, damage assessments, penalties, imprisonment, denial of Medicare and Medicaid payments and/or exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, PPACA clarifies that the submission of claims for items or services generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the False Claims Act. The federal government has taken the position, and some courts have held, that violations of other laws, such as the Stark Law, can also be a violation of the False Claims Act. Additionally, certain laws, such as the False Claims Act, allow for individuals to bring whistleblower actions on behalf of the government for violations thereof. Imposition of any of these penalties upon one of our tenants or strategic partners could jeopardize that tenant’s ability to operate or to make rent payments or affect the level of occupancy in our Healthcare Real Estate, which may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock. Further, we enter into leases and other financial relationships with healthcare delivery systems that are subject to or impacted by these laws. We also have other investors who are healthcare providers in certain of our subsidiaries that own our Healthcare Real Estate. If any of our relationships, including those related to the other investors in our subsidiaries, are found not to comply with these laws, we and our physician investors may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties.
Our healthcare-related tenants may be subject to significant legal actions that could subject them to increased operating costs and substantial uninsured liabilities, which may harm their ability to pay their rent payments to us, and we could be subject to healthcare industry violations.
As is typical in the healthcare industry, our tenants may become subject to claims that their services have resulted in patient injury or other adverse effects. Many of these tenants may have experienced an increasing trend in the frequency and severity of professional liability and general liability insurance claims and litigation asserted against them. The insurance coverage maintained by these tenants may not cover all claims made against them nor continue to be available at a reasonable cost, if at all. In some states, insurance coverage for the risk of punitive damages arising from professional liability and general liability claims and/or litigation may not, in certain cases, be available to these tenants due to state law prohibitions or limitations of availability. As a result, these types of tenants of our Healthcare Real Estate and healthcare-related facilities operating in these states may be liable for punitive damage awards that are either not covered or are in excess of their insurance policy limits.
We also believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of certain healthcare providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Insurance is not available to cover such losses. Any adverse determination in a legal proceeding or governmental investigation, any settlements of such proceedings or investigations in excess of insurance coverage, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on a tenant’s financial condition. If a tenant is unable to obtain or maintain insurance coverage, if judgments are obtained or settlements reached in excess of the insurance coverage, if a tenant is required to pay uninsured punitive damages, or if a tenant is subject to an uninsurable government enforcement action or investigation, the tenant could be exposed to substantial additional liabilities, which may affect the tenant’s ability to pay rent, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and the trading price of our common stock. We could also be subject to costly government investigations or other enforcement actions which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
