Overview
Regional Health , through its subsidiaries, is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living. Our business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities to third-party tenants. As ofJune 30, 2021 , the Company owned, leased or managed for third parties, or operated, 24 facilities, primarily in theSoutheastern United States . Of the 24 facilities, the Company: (i) leased 10 skilled nursing facilities (which the Company owns) to third-party tenants, subleased eight skilled nursing facilities (which the Company leases) to third-party tenants, and operated, as ofJanuary 1, 2021 as a portfolio stabilization measure, one previously subleased skilled nursing facility (which the Company leases); (ii) leased two assisted living facilities (which the Company owns) to third-party tenants; and (iii) managed, on behalf of third-party owners, two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility. Accordingly, as ofJanuary 1, 2021 , the Company has two primary reporting segments, Real Estate Services and Healthcare Services. EffectiveJanuary 1, 2021 , pursuant to the Wellington Lease Termination for two skilled nursing facilities ("SNFs") located inGeorgia with affiliates ofWellington , the Company as a portfolio stabilization measure commenced operating the previously subleased Tara Facility and entered into a new sublease agreement with an affiliate of Empire for the Powder Springs Facility. The Company has entered into the Vero Management Agreement withVero Health under whichVero Health provides management consulting services for the Tara Facility, which the Company now operates. See Note 6 - Leases, herein, and Note 6 - Leases in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplemental Data" in the Company's Annual Report, for a more detailed description of the Company's leases. The operators of the Company's facilities provide a range of health care and related services to patients and residents, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents.
Risks and Uncertainties
While the Company is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living, the Company, when business conditions require, may undertake portfolio stabilization measures, such as operating a previously leased facility. OnJanuary 1, 2021 , following the Wellington Transition, the Company 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- commenced operating the Tara Facility, which facility comprises approximately 5.0% of the total amount of the Company's licensed patient beds. This portfolio stabilization measure exposes the Company directly to all the risks our tenants face as discussed in this "Risk and Uncertainties" section. OnMarch 11, 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared the outbreak of the respiratory illness caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities inthe United States to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to protect its spread have adversely affected our business during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , and we expect it will continue to adversely affect our business in the quarter endingSeptember 30, 2021 and beyond, for a variety of reasons, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. As ofAugust 13, 2021 , the Company is aware that each of our facilities has reported one or more positive cases of COVID-19 among the residents and/or operator employee populations. Many of our operators have reported incurring significant cost increases as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with dramatic increases for facilities with positive cases. We believe these increases primarily stem from elevated labor costs, including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant increase in both the cost and usage of personal protective equipment, testing equipment, processes and supplies. In terms of occupancy levels, many of our operators have reported experiencing declines, in part due to the elimination or suspension of elective hospital procedures, fewer discharges from hospitals to SNFs, and higher hospital re-admittances from SNFs. The COVID-19 pandemic may also lead to temporary closures of nursing facilities, operated by our tenants, which also may affect our tenants' ability to make their rental payments to us pursuant to their respective lease agreements. In addition, our tenants' operations could be further disrupted if any of their employees, or the employees of their vendors, have, or are suspected of having, COVID-19. This could cause, and in some cases has already caused, our tenants or their vendors to experience staffing shortages, and this could potentially require our tenants and their vendors to close parts of or entire facilities, distribution centers, or other buildings to disinfect any affected areas. We could also be adversely affected if government authorities impose upon our tenants, or their vendors, certain restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions may be in the form of mandatory closures, requested voluntary closures, bans on new admissions, restricted operations, or restrictions on the importation of necessary equipment or supplies which may adversely affect our tenants' operations and their ability to make rental payments to us moving forward. In addition, family members may elect to keep nursing facility residents at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reducing our tenants' revenue. Currently, a number of our tenants have stopped admitting new patients due to rising COVID-19 infections, which has resulted in decreased revenues. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our tenants may face lawsuits for alleged negligence associated with their responses to the emergency. The costs associated with defending, settling, or paying damages from such claims could negatively impact our tenants' operating budgets and affect their ability to meet their obligations under our leases. Further, we may be subject to increased lawsuits arising out of our alleged actions or the alleged actions of our tenants for which they have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. An unfavorable resolution of any such pending or future litigation could materially adversely affect us. The Company is not aware of any such lawsuits against our tenants. If our tenants are unable to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease obligations, whether due to the tenants' decrease in revenues or otherwise, then, in some cases, we may be forced to either attempt to replace the tenants or restructure the tenants' long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place. While the Company has received approximately 97% of its expected fixed monthly rental receipts from tenants for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , there are a number of uncertainties the Company faces as it considers the potential impact of COVID-19 on its business, including the length of census disruption, elevated COVID-19 operating costs related to personal protection equipment, cleaning supplies, virus testing and increased overtime due to staff illness and the extent to which federal and state funding support will offset these incremental costs for our tenants. To the extent government support is not sufficient or timely to offset these impacts, or to the extent these trends continue or accelerate and are not offset by additional government relief that is sufficient or timely, the operating results of our operators are likely to be adversely affected, and some may be unwilling or unable to pay their contractual obligations to us in full or on a timely basis, as has occurred with one of our prior operators. We also do not know the number of facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19. While we have requested reporting case numbers from our operators and CMS has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases, which could result in a delay in reporting. We expect to see continued increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and increased monitoring of employees, guests and 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- other individuals entering facilities; however, we do not yet know if future reimbursement rates will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on our and our operators' operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the ultimate duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, which may depend on factors such as the development and implementation of an effective vaccine and treatments for COVID-19, government funds and other support for the senior care sector and the efficacy of other policies and measures that may mitigate the impact of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to these uncertainties, we are unable at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Company intends to pursue measures to grow its operations, streamline its cost infrastructure and otherwise increase liquidity, including: (i) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments, with such repayment to be funded through potentially expanding borrowing arrangements with certain lenders; (ii) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (iii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iv) replacing certain tenantswho default on their lease payment terms; and (v) reducing other and general and administrative expenses. Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and debt refinancing during the twelve months following the date of this filing. AtJune 30, 2021 , the Company had$5.6 million in unrestricted cash. During the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , the Company generated positive cash flow from continuing operations of$2.5 million , and anticipates continued positive cash flow from operations in the future, subject to the continued uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. As ofDecember 31, 2020 , Regional recorded an estimated allowance of$1.4 million against a rent receivable of$2.7 million from the Wellington Tenants. During the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , the Company collected$3.2 million pursuant to the Wellington Lease Termination (excluding$0.2 million insurance refund) and paid$1.0 million to partially satisfy the Wellington Lease Termination obligation of approximately of$1.7 million of bed taxes in arrears and$0.1 million in collection expenses. The Company provides no assurance that we will be able to collect any of the additional$1.3 million in rent arrears in excess of the net$1.4 million already collected. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , the Company recognized$0.1 million and 0.5 million respectively, of variable rent for thePowder Springs Facility and, as of the date of filing this Quarterly Report, has collected all of such variable rent replacing approximately$1.0 million of cash rent previously anticipated from the Wellington Tenant. The Tara Facility operations performance during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 has been sufficient to cover approximately 54% of the rent the Company is obligated to pay under its lease. For further information on the Tara Facility performance see Note 13 - Segment Results to the Company's consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", of this Quarterly Report. As ofJune 30, 2021 , the Company had$54.2 million in indebtedness, net of$1.3 million deferred financing, and unamortized discounts. The Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately$6.4 million during the next twelve-month 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- period, including approximately$0.5 million other debt onAugust 25, 2021 (the "KeyBank Exit Notes"),$3.6 million in senior debt, other mortgage indebtedness onMay 1, 2022 (the "Meadowood Credit Facility") and$1.4 million of routine debt service amortization,$0.8 million of current maturities of other debt (including$0.3 million related to insurance financing for the Tara Facility operations), and a$0.1 million payment of bond debt. The Company is in negotiations to extend the maturity date of the KeyBank Exit Notes and Meadowood Credit Facility. The Company is current with all of its Notes payable and other debt as described in Note 8 - Notes Payable and Other Debt, to the Company's Notes to our consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements (unaudited)", of this Quarterly Report. The Company has benefited from various, now expired, stimulus measures made available to it through the CARES Act enacted byCongress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which allowed for, among other things: (i) a deferral of debt service payments onUSDA loans to maturity, (ii) an allowance for debt service payments to be made out of replacement reserve accounts for HUD loans and (iii) debt service payments to be made by the SBA on all SBA loans. In early 2020, the Company began on-going efforts to investigate alternatives to retire or refinance our outstanding debt of Series A Preferred Stock through privately negotiated transactions, open market repurchases, redemptions, exchange offers, tender offers, or otherwise. Costs associated with these efforts have been expensed as incurred in "Other expense, net" and were$0.7 million and$0.1 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 andJune 30, 2020 , respectively. Debt Covenant Compliance
As of
Series A Preferred Dividend Suspension
OnJune 8, 2018 , the Board indefinitely suspended quarterly dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. As ofJune 30, 2021 , as a result of the suspension of the dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock commencing with the fourth quarter 2017 dividend period, the Company has$32.4 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears. The Board believes that the dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional funds to meet, in part, its ongoing liquidity needs. As the Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for more than four dividend periods, the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock for the fifth and future missed dividend periods has increased to 12.875%, which is equivalent to$3.20 per share each year, commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment (October 1, 2018 ) and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash.
Evaluation of the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, the Company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or not the Company's current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the Company to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
