None of the warning signs we check for were found.

We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.

We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 9 Feb 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 30 Jul 2026 and 5 later 8-Ks.

Cheap for a reason is the question the numbers cannot answer.

Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.

• We are exposed to operational risks with respect to our properties managed in RIDEA structures that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

  Could happen

  During the fourth quarter of 2025, we began utilizing a RIDEA structure, under which, a REIT may lease a qualified healthcare property on an arm’s-length basis to a TRS if the property is managed and operated on behalf of such TRS by a person or entity who qualifies as an “eligible independent contractor.” Under this structure, the manager receives a management fee from our TRS for managing and operating the property as an independent third party. We may in the future acquire or transition other properties to a RIDEA structure.

• Qualifying as a REIT involves highly technical and complex provisions of the Code; failure to qualify as a REIT would subject us to increased taxes and impair our ability to expand our business and make distributions; and complying with REIT requirements may affect our profitability. Certain subsidiaries might fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

  Could happen

  Rents we receive from a TRS in a RIDEA structure are treated as qualifying rents from real property for REIT tax purposes only if (i) they are paid pursuant to a lease of a “qualified healthcare property” and (ii) the operator qualifies as an “eligible independent contractor,” as each term is defined in the Code. If either of these requirements is not satisfied, then the rents we receive from the TRS will not be qualifying rents and we may not satisfy the REIT gross income requirements.

• There is a risk of changes in the tax law applicable to REITs.

  Could happen

  The Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Treasury Department and Congress frequently review U.S. federal income tax legislation, regulations and other guidance. We cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, administrative interpretations or court rulings will be adopted. Several recent federal and state governmental initiatives have increased scrutiny on the role of private equity and REITs in the U.S. healthcare industry and proposed legislation related to certain SNF financial arrangements with REITs. While the likelihood of such measures being enacted remains uncertain, they could, if enacted, result in additional requirements or restrictions on our operators or us. New legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could change the tax laws or interpretations of the tax laws regarding our qualification as a REIT, the federal income tax consequences of that qualification or otherwise prospectively or retroactively modify our tax treatment in a manner that is materially adverse to us, our properties or our stockholders. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we have operated or will continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

• The use of, or inability to use, artificial intelligence by us, our operators, managers, vendors and our investors presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact our business and operating results or the business and operating results of our operators, managers and vendors or may adversely impact the requirements and demand for properties.

  Could happen

  Our vendors may use AI tools in their products or services without our knowledge, and the providers of these tools may not meet the evolving regulatory or industry standards for privacy and data protection. Consequently, this may inhibit our or our vendors’ ability to uphold an appropriate level of service and data privacy. If we, our vendors, or other third parties with which we conduct business experience an actual or perceived breach of privacy or security incident due to the use of AI, we may be adversely impacted, lose valuable intellectual property or confidential information and incur harm to our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures. In addition, investors, analysts and other market participants may use AI tools to process, summarize or interpret our financial information or other data about us. The use of AI tools in financial and market analysis may introduce risks similar to those described above, including an inaccurate interpretation of our financial or operational performance or market trends or conditions, which in turn could result in inaccurate conclusions or investment recommendations.

• We are exposed to operational risks with respect to our properties managed in RIDEA structures that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

  Could happen

  The income we generate from RIDEA structures is subject to a number of operational risks including but not limited to fluctuations in occupancy levels and resident fee levels, competitive pressures and market dynamics, impacts from quality of care, private pay collectibility, insurance reimbursement rate changes, increases in the cost of food, materials, energy, labor or other services, macroeconomic conditions, the imposition of new or increased taxes and regulation, capital expenditure requirements, professional and general liability claims and the availability and cost of professional and general liability insurance. In addition, as our operating companies are required to hold healthcare licenses and in some cases may enroll in a government healthcare program (e.g., Medicare or Medicaid), we may experience penalties for failure to comply with applicable healthcare laws, including loss or suspension of licenses and certificates of need, certification or accreditation, exclusion from government healthcare programs, administrative sanctions and civil monetary penalties. If our managers fail to effectively conduct operations on our behalf, or to maintain and improve our properties, it could adversely affect our business reputation as the owner of the properties, as well as the business reputation of our managers and their ability to attract and retain patients and residents in our properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our and our managers’ business, results of operations, and financial condition.
