CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.


We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report.


Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Management Agreement, with an effective date of April 1, 2014, with Inter-American Management, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of the Company.  Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager is responsible for designing and implementing our business strategy and administering our business activities and day-to-day operations. For performing these services, the Company will pay the Manager 8% of rental revenue for property management services and a base management fee equal to the greater of (a) 2.0% per annum of the Company’s net asset value (the value of the Company’s assets less the value of the Company’s liabilities), or (b) $30,000 per calendar month.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 management fees of $90,000 and zero were incurred and expensed.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, cumulative management fees of $360,000 and $270,000, respectively (since April 1, 2014), were incurred and expensed by us, due to the Manager, and remain unpaid. The unpaid management fee balance is included in the “Due to Related Party, Net” line item in the accompanying Balance Sheets.


Allocated General and Administrative Expenses


In the future, the Company may receive an allocation of general and administrative expenses from the Manager that are either clearly applicable to or were reasonably allocated to the operations of the properties. There were no allocated general and administrative expenses from the Manager for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014.


Convertible Debenture, Due to Majority Shareholder


As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Debenture was $5,446,102.  Interest expense on the Convertible Debenture was $107,429 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  No interest expense was incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  As discussed in the “Notes Payable to Majority Shareholder” section below, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, HFE USA, LLC loaned the Company a total of $350,000 in the form of notes payable in order to pay off all accrued interest and unpaid interest on the Convertible Debenture in the amount of approximately $341,000.  The accrued interest was classified as “Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses” on the accompanying Balance Sheets.  Accordingly, as of March 31, 2015 there was no accrued interest owed on the Convertible Debenture.



9




The Company analyzed the conversion option in the Convertible Debenture for derivative accounting treatment under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting. The Company therefore performed an analysis to determine if the conversion option was subject to a beneficial conversion feature and determined that the instrument does not have a beneficial conversion feature.  


Notes Payable to Majority Shareholder


During the three months ended March 31, 2015, HFE USA, LLC made two loans to the Company in the amounts of $250,000 and $100,000 ($350,000 total loaned) in the form of notes payable that were primarily used to pay in full all accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Debenture in the amount of approximately $341,000.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the notes payable to the majority shareholder balance was $338,195 and $38,195, respectively.  The notes payable balance is unsecured, due on demand, and non-interest bearing.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies


Litigation


The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company, which if determined unfavorably to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


Environmental Matters


The Company follows a policy of monitoring its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at its properties, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to its properties that would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, the Company is not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that management believes would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements included herein, including the notes to those financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, and the Section entitled “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information” in this report.  As discussed in more detail in the Section entitled “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information,” this discussion contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.


Overview


Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 18, 2011 under the name Scoop Media, Inc. (“Scoop Media”), which was acquired by the Hong Kong company known as Heng Fai Enterprises, Ltd. (“Heng Fai”) in 2013.  The Company changed to its current name effective January 6, 2014 in connection with its re-domestication into a Maryland corporation and as discussed below its principal investment strategy is to develop and manage a portfolio of real estate assets in the healthcare industry, which may include the real estate of hospitals, medical centers, nursing facilities and retirement homes.


Heng Fai owns HFE USA, LLC, our majority shareholder.  As of March 31, 2015, HFE USA, LLC owns an aggregate of 248,825 (or 99.5%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock.


Business Strategy


Our primary investor goal is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and maximize sustainable distributable cash flow. Our principal investment strategy is to act on the opportunities created by the changing healthcare environment by acquiring, selectively developing and managing locally critical medical properties that are core to medical operator businesses and that meet our investment criteria. In general, we seek to acquire or develop specialty medical properties in desirable markets with tenants who are expected to prosper in the changing healthcare delivery environment. We are focused on owning, operating, and developing and managing specialty medical properties located initially throughout the United States and in future internationally. Medical properties in which we seek to invest include (but are not limited to): (1) Single tenant medical practice buildings, (2) Ambulatory Surgery Centers, (3) Outpatient Treatment and Diagnostic Facilities, (4) Acute care Hospitals. General and various specialty hospitals focused on and specialized in providing care for many medical conditions and performing wide ranging procedures, such as cardiovascular and orthopedic surgery.


Our unique mission as an international medical equity real estate investment trust (“REIT” – refer to the “Qualification as a REIT” section herein for additional information) is to selectively sponsor and underwrite ownership of leading medical provider’s core real estate assets worldwide. We intend to serve only the best healthcare operators in prominent regional and community locations throughout selected emerging international markets. Initial focus for our portfolio is within the United States and Asian growth markets.


Our understanding of contemporary clinical and business models empowers our dedicated focus: to support continuous delivery of necessary quality care to widespread communities while delivering to our fund investors unparalleled portfolio asset quality and steady dividends.


Internal Growth Strategy


We seek to achieve our business objectives internally through entering into long-term leases with annual contractual rent increases and using net-lease structures.


Financing Strategy


We plan to build our capital structure with a balanced approach that maximizes flexibility. We will seek to: (1) achieve opportunistic and reasonable debt service ratios, (2) balance debt in a fashion that enhances our ability to access capital markets, (3) establish a secured revolving credit facility to finance acquisitions in concert with other debt instruments, which depending on appropriateness and availability, include, the assumption of mortgage loans and the placement of “stand- alone” non-recourse debt secured by the property, and (4) access capital internationally so as to avoid market cycle shortages of capital and enhance acquisition expediency.



12




Qualification as a REIT


Our business strategy is conducive to a more favorable tax structure whereby we may qualify and elect to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We plan to elect to be taxed as REIT under U.S. federal income tax laws commencing with our contemplated taxable year ending December 31, 2015. We believe that, commencing with 2015, we will have been organized and have operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under all of the federal income tax laws, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. We, however, cannot provide assurances that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.


In order to qualify as a REIT, a substantial percentage of the Company’s assets must be qualifying real estate assets and a substantial percentage of the Company’s income must be rental revenue from real property or interest on mortgage loans. We must elect under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) to be treated as a REIT. Subject to a number of significant exceptions, a corporation that qualifies as a REIT generally is not subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes on income and gain that it distributes to its stockholders, thereby reducing its corporate level taxes. The vast majority of U.S. REITs are incorporated or formed in Maryland and we believe that reincorporating in Maryland will put our Company in the best position to raise additional capital and grow our business.


Management Agreement


As discussed in Note 5 – “Related Party Transactions,” on November 10, 2014, we entered into a Management Agreement, with an effective date of April 1, 2014, with Inter-American Management, LLC (the “Manager”), our affiliate.  


Competition


We compete for development and acquisition opportunities with, among others, private investors, healthcare providers, (including physicians), healthcare-related REITs, real estate partnerships, financial institutions and local developers. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have and may have better relationships with lenders and sellers. Increased competition for medical properties from competitors, including other REITs, may adversely affect our ability to acquire specialty medical properties and the price we pay for properties. Our properties face competition from other nearby facilities that provide services comparable to those offered at our facilities. Some of those facilities are owned by governmental agencies and supported by tax revenue, and others are owned by nonprofit corporations and may be supported to a large extent by endowments and charitable contributions. Those types of support are not available to our facilities. In addition, competing healthcare facilities located in the areas served by our facilities may provide health services that are not available at our facilities.


Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the footnotes to the accompanying financial statements.  Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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



13




Purchase of Real Estate


Transactions in which real estate assets are purchased that are not subject to an existing significant lease or are attached or related to a major healthcare provider are treated as asset acquisitions, and as such are recorded at their purchase price, including acquisition fees, which is allocated to land and building based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Investment properties that are acquired either subject to a significant existing lease or as part of a portfolio level transaction with significant leasing activity are treated as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” which requires the purchase price of acquired properties be allocated to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, and any identified intangible assets. Acquisition fees are expensed as incurred.  Fair value is determined based on ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price of individually acquired properties, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge and published market data. In this regard, the Company also utilizes information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building. The Company utilizes market comparable transactions such as price per square foot to assist in the determination of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price of properties acquired as part of portfolio level transactions. The value of acquired leases, if applicable, is estimated based upon the costs we would have incurred to lease the property under similar terms.

Impairment of Long Lived assets


The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator exists, the Company compares the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the carrying amount of an asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company records an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.


Revenue Recognition


The Company’s operations currently consist of rental revenue earned from two tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent, escalations, and charges to the tenant for the real estate taxes and operating expenses. The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes income on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis for leases results in recognized revenue amounts which differ from those that are contractually due from tenants. If the Company determines that collectability of straight-line rents is not reasonably assured, future revenue recognition is limited to amounts contractually owed and paid, and, when appropriate, an allowance for estimated losses is established.


The Company consistently assesses the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, including an allowance for operating lease straight-line rent receivables, for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults, or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. The Company also monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on a continuous basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements and other factors. For operating lease straight-line rent amounts, the Company's assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 an allowance was not recorded as it was not deemed necessary.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:


• Level 1- Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;


• Level 2- Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and


• Level 3- Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.



14




The Company considers the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses to approximate their fair value due to the short period of time since origination or the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. The fair value of amounts due to or from related parties are deemed undeterminable due to their nature.


Results of Operations


Revenues


Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $462,138, compared with $0 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $462,138. The increase is the result of rental revenue derived from the base rental receipts from our Omaha and Asheville facilities that were acquired in June 2014 and September 2014, respectively.


Management Fees


Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $90,000, compared with $0 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $90,000. The increase is a result of management fees incurred and payable under the terms of the Management Agreement we entered into effective as of April 1, 2014.


General and Administrative


General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $64,307, compared with $11,427 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $52,880. The increase is primarily a result of the land lease rent expense incurred from the Omaha facility we acquired on June 5, 2014, professional fees incurred (accounting and legal), and other general office expenses.  


Depreciation Expense


For the three months ended March 31, 2015 depreciation expense was $152,336 compared with $0 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $152,336. The increase is a result of depreciation related to the Omaha and Asheville facilities that were acquired in June 2014 and September 2014, respectively.


Interest Expense


For the three months ended March 31, 2015 interest expense was $344,042 compared with $0 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $344,042. The increase is a result of interest incurred on our debt of $314,245 and the amortization of deferred financing costs in the amount of $29,797.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


General


Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, maintain our assets, fund our operations and make dividend distributions to our stockholders and other general business needs. Our liquidity, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. Our near-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of purchasing our target assets, restoring and leasing properties and funding our operations.



15




Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the acquisition and maintenance of properties; non-recurring capital expenditures; interest and principal payments on our indebtedness discussed below; payment of quarterly dividends to our stockholders to the extent declared by our board of directors; and general and administrative expenses. The nature of our business, our aggressive growth plans and the requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to our stockholders, may cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over the long-term. We will seek to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, property dispositions, and joint venture transactions. We have financed our operations and acquisitions to date through the funding by the majority shareholder and bank loans as discussed below. We expect to meet our operating liquidity requirements generally through cash on hand and cash provided by operations (as we acquire additional real estate assets). We anticipate that cash on hand, cash provided by operations, funding from financial institutions, and funding by our majority shareholder will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our assets are illiquid by their nature. Thus, a timely liquidation of assets might not be a viable source of short-term liquidity should a cash flow shortfall arise that causes a need for additional liquidity. It could be necessary to source liquidity from other financing alternatives should any such scenario arise.


To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income. Subject to the requirements of the Maryland General Corporation Law we intend to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors.


Cash Flow Information


Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $139,427, which was primarily derived from the payoff of accrued interest on the Convertible Debenture (classified as “Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses”), partially offset by noncash depreciation and deferred financing amortization expense and unpaid management fees. We anticipate cash flows from operating activities to increase as we purchase additional properties and have a full year of operations.


There was no cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Cash flows used in investing activities are heavily dependent upon the investment in properties and real estate assets. We anticipate cash flows used in investing activities to increase as we acquire additional properties in the future.


Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $207,130. Cash flows provided by financing activities were derived primarily from total loan proceeds of $350,000 received from the majority shareholder that was mainly used to pay down accrued interest on the Convertible Debenture. This cash inflow was partially offset by principal payments on the Capital One loan related to the Omaha acquisition and from dividends paid to shareholders during the current quarter.  We anticipate cash flows from financing activities to increase in the future as we raise additional funds from investors and incur debt to purchase properties.


Our continued operations and expansion are dependent upon our ability to obtain additional working capital. Although HFE USA, LLC may lend us funds or invest in our securities for our working capital needs, we have not entered into any agreement with HFE USA, LLC for any future loans or investments in our company. In the event we are unable to raise capital needed for our proposed business, we will have to seek additional financing, and no assurances can be given that such financing would be available on a timely basis, on terms that are acceptable or at all. Failure to obtain additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of our proposed business which would materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and threaten our financial viability.


Dividends


On January 21, 2015, the Company declared a dividend of $0.0852 per share payable to the holders of its common stock of record at the close of business February 2, 2015.  Dividends shall be paid no later than the 20th day of the following month subject to compliance with applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law.  The aggregate amount of the dividend was $21,300.


On February 19, 2015, the Company declared a dividend of $0.0852 per share payable to the holders of its common stock of record at the close of business March 2, 2015.  Dividends shall be paid no later than the 20th day of the following month subject to compliance with applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law.  The aggregate amount of the dividend was $21,300.

On March 19, 2015, the Company declared a dividend of $0.0852 per share payable to the holders of its common stock of record at the close of business March 30, 2015.  Dividends shall be paid no later than the 20th day of the following month subject to compliance with applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law.  The aggregate amount of the dividend was $21,300.


During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company paid total dividends to holders of its common stock of $63,900.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.


Our future income, cash flows, and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent on prevailing market interest rates. Interest rates are highly sensitive to several factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and global economic and political conditions and other factors which are beyond our control. We may incur additional variable rate debt in the future. In addition, decreases in interest rates may lead to additional competition for the acquisition of single-family homes and other real estate due to a reduction in attractive alternative income-producing investments.  Increased competition for the acquisition of single-family homes may lead to future acquisitions being more costly and result in lower yields on single-family homes we have targeted for acquisition. In such circumstances, if we are not able to offset the decrease in yields by obtaining lower interest costs on our borrowings, our results of operations will be adversely affected. Significant increases in interest rates may also have an adverse impact on our earnings if we are unable to acquire single-family homes with rental rates high enough to offset the increase in interest rates on our borrowings.


Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We may in the future use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to any borrowings we may have. We expect to enter into such contracts only with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.


Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
