(1) | Our investments in available for sale securities include our 2,637,408 shares of RMR Inc. class A common stock and our 4,235,000 Five Star common shares. The fair values of these shares are based upon quoted prices at December 31, 2017 in active markets (Level 1 inputs). In performing our periodic evaluation of other than temporary impairment of our investment in Five Star for the second quarter of 2017, we determined, based on the length of time and the extent to which the market value of our Five Star investment was below our carrying value, that the decline in fair value was other than temporary at June 30, 2017. Accordingly, we recorded a $5,082 loss on impairment to reduce the carrying value of our Five Star investment to its estimated fair value during the second quarter of 2017. Our adjusted cost basis for our Five Star shares is $6,353 as of December 31, 2017. The cost basis for our RMR Inc. shares is $69,826 as of December 31, 2017. The unrealized gain of $86,572 for our RMR Inc. shares as of December 31, 2017 is included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets.

(2) | We assumed certain of these secured debts in connection with our acquisitions of certain properties.
