Good morning everyone and thank you for participating in todays conference call to discuss Global Healthcare REITs Full Year Ended December 31, 2014. Joining us today is the President and CEO of Global Healthcare REIT, Christopher Brogdon; and the Companys Executive Vice President, Ryan Scates. Following their remarks, we will open the call to your questions. Then before we conclude todays call, Ill provide the Companys Safe Harbor statement with important cautions regarding forward-looking statements made during this call.
I would like to remind everyone that this call is being recorded and will be available for replay through April 8, 2015, starting later this evening. It will be accessible via the link provided in yesterdays press release.
Now I would like to turn the call over to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Global Healthcare REIT, Mr. Christopher Brogdon. Sir, please proceed.
Christopher Brogdon
Thank you. Good morning. I hope everyones doing well this morning. I understand Chris Doucets on here, and I hope hes enjoying the sun where he is. Today were going to talk about what we did last year. Before I get into too much of it, Im going to turn it over to Ryan and let him talk about our press release yesterday.
Ryan Scates
Great, thanks Chris. This is Ryan Scates, Executive Vice President. Yesterday, we released our 2014 financial results and a press release. Allow me to note that on March 30, we did receive a last-minute requirement from our auditors to obtain written verification from each of our tenants that they had paid their property taxes and their insurance policies are up-to-date. This was not a requirement we had last year, but it has delayed our filing. We have filed for a 14-day extension of our 2014 10-K; however, the

reasons the filings are delayed are not going to affect the financial information we released yesterday. However, the release from yesterday does present unaudited figures for the year.
In the release, we reported that our rental revenue totaled $1.9 million in 2014. This compares, although unevenly, to $443,000 in revenue we recorded from the date of our Companys inception on March 13, 2013 through to the end of 2013. The increase in revenue is naturally due to the additional days of operation but also to contribution of facilities we acquired during 2014. The number of facilities totaled 11 by the end of 2014 versus only two at the end of year 2013. I should also point out that our rental revenue in 2014 was derived from eight out of 11 facilities in our portfolio and does not reflect the full run rate we expect from our healthcare properties.
As of March 1, 2015, 10 of the facilities were contributing rental revenue, with the Southern Hills Independent Living Facility currently undergoing renovations that are scheduled for completion by the end of the year. We expect that facility to contribute rental revenue in 2016.
Our total expenses were $2.1 million in 2014, and this compares to $800,000 in the period from the date of inception through December 31, 2013. The increase in total expenses was again due to the greater number of days of operation, as well as just increased G&A expenses and increased depreciation expense due to the addition of new properties to our portfolio last year. As we continue our acquisition campaign for new healthcare real estate properties, we anticipate revenue and cash flow will increase while we hold G&A costs relatively flat and fixed costs at approximately $205,000 per quarter.
Our net income to common shareholders was $1.3 million or $0.06 per diluted share in 2014. This compares to a net loss of about $700,000 or $0.09 per basic and diluted share in the period from the date of inception through December 31, 2013. The improvement in net income was partly due to a bargain purchase gain of $3 million that resulted from the excess of fair value in our acquisition of the Southern Hills Retirement Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Turning to our balance sheet, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.5 million at the end of 2014 as compared to $1.2 million at the end of 2013. We expect the majority of financing for new acquisitions moving forward to come from mortgage debt.
With that, Id like to turn the call back over to Chris.
Christopher Brogdon
Thanks Ryan. As Ryan said, we did have some nice growth in last year, and I would suspect that this growth that we had, adding the number of facilities we did, will probably be able to be repeated over the next few years. I think we can easily buy 12 to 15 buildings a year, and every now and again we may come across one like we bought in Tulsa. This is an extraordinary deal that we did in Tulsa. We bought a campus there for $2 million from another REIT, and that were now receiving monthly rent of $55,000 a month on that $2 million purchase. When the independents all through, well add about $60,000 a month, so well be getting over $1 million a year in rent from a $2 million acquisition that we made. Obviously those dont come along all the time, but I think something thats more to the norm would be the property we bought up in Seville, Ohio at the end of, I guess, last fall.
We bought this property for $3 million and were able to finance the whole purchase price. Again, that doesnt happen all the time, so were receiving $152,000 a year over and above our interest payments on that. Our return on that is extraordinary, obviously.
Typical, sort of like the deals that were working on in Texas right now, four properties that were in the midst of buying. I was yesterday in Dallas with our tenant. Well have about $5 million of equity in that deal once its all put to bed, but the net to the Company is going to be about $1.2 million a year, so again,

thats the kind of return were shooting for, for the shareholders. So I think if we can get 20% or in excess of 20% cash-on-cash return, thats what were looking for, and obviously the more of those we do, if we can do that on all our deals for next year, then well be able to continue to raise this dividend.
As everybody did see, we did declare another penny dividend, and we expect to declare one, at least a penny a share each quarter this year. I think once we close the Texas deal, then well be able to bump that up to a couple of pennies. I would suspect thats probably going to close in about two months, so hopefully starting in the third quarter well bump it up to $0.02. Weve got some other smaller deals that were working on that will add cash flow as well, so its our intent just to continue to grow this dividend, and with the dividend growth, share price should come along with it.
Weve got plenty of deals to work on, so as soon as we get a bigger deal like the Texas deal done, weve got another deal thats got five buildings in it, and well get started on that. But as were doing those, well still be able to do one or two at a time that dont require quite as much funds.
So thats kind of our game plan, and with that, Im going to turn it back over to Ryan.
Ryan Scates
Fantastic. I think now were ready to open up the call to question and answers.
Operator:
Thank you. If youd like to ask a question, please signal by pressing star, one on your telephone keypad. If youre using a speakerphone, please make sure your mute function is turned off to allow your signal to reach our equipment. Again, please press star, one to ask a question.
Well go first to Andy Carothers from Bagley Securities.
Andy Carothers
Yes, hi Chris.
Christopher Brogdon
Andy. Long time, no see.
Andy Carothers
Thats right. Tell me, how do you expect to finance this $5 million that youre going to require for the Texas properties that youre buying?
Christopher Brogdon
Well, weve pretty much got the equity commitments. It will be a combination of straight equity and some of our cash, and a little preferred stock.
Andy Carothers
Oh, okay, and is the preferred going to be convertible, and if so, at what price will it be convertible?

Christopher Brogdon
We havent decided yet. I think its probably going to just be a straight preferred.
Andy Carothers
Oh, okay, and the equity that youre raising, at what price would that be?
Christopher Brogdon
Were hoping we can get the deal done around a buck.
Andy Carothers
A dollar? Okay. What in general is your plan as far as leasing these properties out? Do you expect to get annual increases, and over what term do you usually like to have, five or 10-year terms?
Christopher Brogdon
Well on Texas deals, they are five-years, and I think weve given them two five-year renewals. Their increases begin with Year 2, its up 2%, so, you know, normally, we give them a fixed rate for the first year, or maybe the first two years, and then we normally have some sort of 2% or 3%. It would be at 3% if we gave them a real good deal in the first year or two, then it would go up 3% from there. But if its pretty much market rent, then it will go up 2% after that.
Andy Carothers
Okay, so you can see an increase in the income coming from these that you acquired almost every year then as they
Christopher Brogdon
Yes sir.
Andy Carothers
Okay. What other areas look, Ill say, promising?
Christopher Brogdon
Well, I thinkyou mean in purchasing?
Andy Carothers
Yes, purchasing new properties.
Christopher Brogdon
Yes, I mean, theresweve got plenty that were working on right now, some that were just in the talking stages, and some were getting real close to a contract. So I think as I said earlier, I think well be able to, without any problem, add 12 or 15 buildings a year.

Thanks Andy.
Operator:
As a reminder, it is star, one if youd like to ask a question. Well take our next question from Zvi Rhine from Sabra Capital.
Zvi Rhine
I love the pronunciations. Good morning, guys.
Christopher Brogdon
How are you?
Zvi Rhine
Great, doing well, guys. A quick question on Southern Hills. You said it wasdid I understand you said $55,000 a month when that comes online for the independent living?
Christopher Brogdon
Yes, were getting $35,000 a month off the nursing home and $20,000 now off the assisted living. The independent building will be completely rehabbed by the end of the year, and we expect to get a little over $60,000 a month out of that building.
Zvi Rhine
Sixty thousand a month, so youre talking about $720,000 annually?
Christopher Brogdon
Correct, (inaudible) rather 660 were getting.
Zvi Rhine
Is that a signed lease, or where are you in the stages of having that completed?
Christopher Brogdon
Well no, the lease isnt signed yet, but the guys that have both the nursing home and the assisted living have been driving me crazy about leasing it, and thats the number weve been talking about. But theres no point to sign a lease until we get a certificate of occupancy on it, so.

Zvi Rhine
Is that whats delayed it until the end of 2015? Is that the delay, is just getting the certificate of occupancy? Theres no more cap ex that you need
Christopher Brogdon
No, no, no. Were still doing cap ex. I mean, were re-doing it room by room, basically. Weve done all the HVAC, weve put a new roof on it, were putting new siding on it, so now theyre inside going room to room, basically, and modernizing the bathrooms and some of these closets have folding doors, were changing those out, were changing the carpet out and just giving it an updated, today look.
Zvi Rhine
So how much more in cap ex do you need to put into the property?
Christopher Brogdon
About another million bucks.
Zvi Rhine
Okay, and thats just coming from the existing cash on hand and some cash flow over the course of the year, because youre not paying out all your cash flow, it doesnt seem to me.
Christopher Brogdon
Correct.
Zvi Rhine
Okay. Last thing, on the gross annual rent, it was really helpful that you had that in the press release. Thats a 2015 number, correct?
Christopher Brogdon
Ryan?
Ryan Scates
Hold on one second. Im going to verify that real fast.
Christopher Brogdon
The $4.5 million number is aI think thats an annualized number as we sit today.
Ryan Scates
Thats exactly right, exactly right. So for the next 12 months, not including the independent living facility that Chris was just explaining, thats the gross rent number that we can expect to receive.

Zvi Rhine
All right, and so thats basically the rent well see for 2015, excluding acquisitions and the independent living?
Christopher Brogdon
Thats correct.
Ryan Scates
Now, the assisted living facility at Southern Hills, that didnt come online until February 1, so there will be a month in 2015 that that doesnt have rent revenue.
Zvi Rhine
Got it. All right, perfect. Thanks guys. Thats all the clarification I needed. Thanks guys.
Christopher Brogdon
Thanks Zvi.
