The third party complaints arise from a lawsuit lawsuit: see procedure; tort.  filed by Genesis seeking payment from AGE of various management fees allegedly owed Genesis by AGE. In its complaint, AGE asserts, among other things, that acquiring loans from Genesis secured by second mortgage liens on properties owned by the AGE Institute of Florida, ET Capital Corp. joined with Genesis in an effort to defraud To make a Misrepresentation of an existing material fact, knowing it to be false or making it recklessly without regard to whether it is true or false, intending for someone to rely on the misrepresentation and under circumstances in which such person does rely on it to his or  AGE. These loans total $7.8 million and were acquired by ET Capital Corp. in 1998. ET Capital Corp. believes that the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. During the second quarter 2001, however, ET Capital Corp. reserved for legal costs anticipated to be incurred by it in connection with this matter, which reduced the income recognized by the Company during the second quarter 2001 relating to relating to relate prepconcernant

The Company also addressed its transactions with Senior LifeChoice. First, the Company announced that Senior LifeChoice had executed an agreement to sell the facility securing a $9.5 million mortgage loan from the Company. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the proceeds from the sale would be sufficient for Senior LifeChoice to repay the outstanding loan balance plus past due amounts (currently estimated at approximately $10.0 million in the aggregate). The sale agreement requires the transaction to be completed by August 31, 2001. If consummated con·sum·mate

 as planned, all of the proceeds received by the Company from Senior LifeChoice will be applied by the Company to pay down an equivalent amount of its outstanding loan balance under its Bank Credit Facility, which totaled $36.0 million at June 30, 2001. The Company can provide no assurance, however, that this transaction will be completed as currently contemplated.

"We are pleased with the improvement in our operating results during the second quarter of 2001, which largely is attributable to reduced bad debt expense and smaller losses recorded on our investment in unconsolidated entities" said D. Lee McCreary McCreary can refer to a number of things: People
  • Bear McCreary, composer
  • Bill McCreary, a number of people related to ice hockey
  • James B. McCreary, former Governor of Kentucky and U.S.
, Jr., ElderTrust President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. McCreary added, "A significant event during the second quarter 2001 was the previously reported filing by Genesis and The Multicare Companies, Inc. of their joint reorganization plan A scheme authorized by federal law and promulgated by the president whereby he or she alters the structure of federal agencies to promote government efficiency and economy through a transfer, consolidation, coordination, authorization, or abolition of functions. . These companies are ElderTrust's most significant customers and we believe this filing is a significant step toward their emerging from bankruptcy bankruptcy, in law, settlement of the liabilities of a person or organization wholly or partially unable to meet financial obligations. The purposes are to distribute, through a court-appointed receiver, the bankrupt's assets equitably among creditors and, in most  at some point in the future."
