Note 6—Loans Receivable

        As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had $276.2 million and $149.3 million, respectively, of net loans receivable relating to seniors housing and healthcare companies or properties.

        In connection with the NHP acquisition, we acquired (i) mortgage loans receivable having an initial aggregate fair value of approximately $271.7 million and secured by 53 seniors housing and healthcare properties and (ii) unsecured loans receivable having an initial aggregate fair value of approximately $60.5 million.

        During 2011, we made a first mortgage loan in the aggregate principal amount of $12.9 million, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum and maturing in 2016.

        During 2011, we received aggregate proceeds of $218.5 million in final repayment of eight secured loans receivable and recognized an aggregate gain of $4.4 million (included in income from loans and investments in our Consolidated Statements of Income) in connection with these repayments for the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Additionally, during 2011, we received proceeds of $0.3 million in final repayment of one unsecured loan receivable and made additional advances under two existing unsecured loans receivable in the amount of $6.7 million.

        During 2010, we acquired at a 17% discount, a first mortgage loan in the principal amount of $19.0 million bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9.25% per annum and maturing in 2015. During 2011, through foreclosure action, we took title to the two assets securing this mortgage loan. The carrying amount of these assets, totaling $16.0 million, approximated the fair value of the assets at the time of foreclosure and no gain or loss was recorded in connection with obtaining title. Operations from this property were consolidated into our consolidated financial statements during 2011.
