CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flows:

Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, totaled approximately $203,000 and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Interest totaling approximately $5.6 million and $5.1 million was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No interest was capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

On February 4, 2020, in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, hereinafter defined in Note 15, “Long-Term Debt”, the Company exchanged approximately $57.4 million of 2020 Notes for the 2025 Notes. This non-cash transaction was not reflected within the consolidated statement of cash flows as it was effectively a non-cash replacement of debt for equal principal value. The remaining approximately $17.6 million is reflected as proceeds from and payments on long-term debt to complete the retirement of the remaining 2020 Notes and issue the remaining 2025 Notes. In addition, in connection with the $75.0 million 2020 Notes, approximately $5.2 million of the 2025 Issuance was allocated to the equity component for the conversion option. This non-cash allocation was reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as a decrease in the long-term debt of approximately $7 million and an increase in deferred income taxes of approximately $1.8 million.

Discontinued operations provided approximately $7.6 million of the net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which consists of approximately $8.0 million in cash flow from discontinued real estate operations offset by approximately $434,000 of net cash outflows related to discontinued golf operations.

In connection with the Company’s implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 842, Leases, effective January 1, 2019, the Company recorded an increase in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases for which the Company is the lessee. The amount of the adjustment totaled approximately $681,000 and was reflected as an increase in Other Assets and Accrued and Other Liabilities for corporate leases totaling approximately $473,000 and an increase in Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Held for Sale for golf operations segment leases totaling approximately $208,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In March 2020, the agency of the United Nations, responsible for international public health, declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”), which has spread throughout the United States. The spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic has continued to cause significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets and, in many industries, business activity was, for a time, virtually shut down entirely. There continues to be uncertainty around the duration and severity of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and international economies.

The actions taken by federal, state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, initially by ordering closures of non-essential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings, have resulted in some of our tenants temporarily closing their businesses, and for some, impacting their ability to pay rent.

The Company received second quarter payments from tenants representing approximately 81% of the Contractual Base Rent, defined as monthly base rent due pursuant to the original terms of  the respective lease agreements without giving effect to any deferrals or abatements subsequently entered into, due during the three months ended June 30, 2020. With respect to unpaid Contractual Base Rent due during the three months ended June 30, 2020 approximately 9% was deferred and approximately 4% was abated. In general, repayment of the deferred Contractual Base Rent will begin in the third quarter of 2020, with ratable payments continuing, in some cases, through the end of 2021. Certain of the deferral agreements are pending full execution of the lease amendment; however, both parties have indicated, in writing, their agreement to the repayment terms and in some instances, the tenant has already made the payments contemplated in the agreed-to lease amendment. In connection with the leases in which rent was abated, other lease modifications, including extended lease terms and imposition of percentage rent, were agreed to by the Company and the tenants. Depending upon the duration of tenant closures and the overall economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic, we may find deferred rents difficult to collect. The Company has not yet reached an agreement with respect to approximately 6% of the Contractual Base Rent due during the three months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 24, “Subsequent Events” for the Company’s disclosure related to July 2020 rent collections.

We have seen a positive uptick in our rent collections levels. While this is a positive trend driven by government mandated restrictions gradually being lifted, we are expecting that our rent collections will continue to be below our tenants’ Contractual Base Rent and historical levels, which will continue to adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Depending upon the duration of tenant closures, operating restrictions, and the overall economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic, we may find that even deferred rents are difficult to collect, and we may experience higher vacancies.

An assessment of the current or identifiable potential financial and operational impacts on the Company as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic are as follows:

The total borrowing capacity on the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), based on the assets currently in the borrowing base, is $200 million, and as such the Company has the ability to draw an additional $37.2 million on the Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, any property in the borrowing base with a tenant that is more than 60 days past due on its contractual rent obligations would be automatically removed from the borrowing base and the Company’s borrowing capacity would be reduced. For the tenants requesting rent relief with which the Company has reached an agreement, such deferral and/or abatement agreements for current rent, under the terms of the credit facility, would not be past due if it adheres to such modification, and thus those properties would not be required to be removed from the borrowing base.

As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the federal government and the state of Florida issued orders encouraging everyone to remain in their residence and not go into work. In response to these orders and in the best interest of our employees and directors, we have implemented significant preventative measures to ensure the health and safety of our employees and Board of Directors (the “Board”), including: (i) conducting all meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board telephonically or via a visual conferencing service, (ii) permitting the Company’s employees to work from home at their election, (iii) enforcing appropriate social distancing practices in the Company’s office, (iv) encouraging the Company’s employees to wash their hands often and use face masks, (v) providing hand sanitizer and other disinfectant products throughout the Company’s office, (vi) requiring employees who do not feel well in any capacity to stay at home, and (vii) requiring all third-party delivery services (e.g. mail, food delivery, etc.) to complete their service outside the front door of the Company’s office. The Company also offered COVID-19 testing to its employees to ensure a safe working environment. These preventative measures have not had any material adverse impact on the Company’s financial reporting systems, internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures. At this time, we have not laid off, furloughed, or terminated any employee in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Compensation Committee of the Board may reevaluate the performance goals and other aspects of the compensation arrangements of the Company’s executive officers later in 2020 as more information about the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic become known.

Description of Business

The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to CTO Realty Growth, Inc. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a diversified real estate operating company. We own and manage, sometimes utilizing third-party property management companies, thirty-one commercial real estate properties in twelve states in the United States. As of June 30, 2020, we owned twenty-five single-tenant and six multi-tenant income-producing properties with approximately 2.2 million square feet of gross leasable space. See Note 24, “Subsequent Events”, for information related to the single-tenant income properties sold subsequent to June 30, 2020.  

In addition to our income property portfolio, as of June 30, 2020, our business included the following:

Management Services:

A fee-based management business that is engaged in managing Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“PINE”) and the entity that held approximately 4,900 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida as of June 30, 2020 (the “Land JV”), see Note 5, “Related Party Management Services Business”. Currently, the Land JV holds approximately 1,800 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida due to the land sales from the Land JV as described in Note 24, “Subsequent Events”.

Commercial Loan Investments:

A portfolio of commercial loan investments, of which four were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Real Estate Operations:

A portfolio of mineral interests consisting of approximately 455,000 subsurface acres in 20 counties in the State of Florida and a portfolio of mitigation credits;

A retained interest in the Land JV which is seeking to sell approximately 1,800 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida; and

An interest in a joint venture (the “Mitigation Bank JV”) that owns an approximately 2,500 acre parcel of land in the western part of Daytona Beach, Florida which is engaged in the operation of a mitigation bank, which, pursuant to a mitigation plan approved by the applicable state and federal authorities, produces mitigation credits that are marketed and sold to developers of land in the Daytona Beach area for the purpose of enabling the developers to obtain certain regulatory permits.

Table of Contents

Our business also includes, as outlined above, the current value of our investment in PINE of approximately $33.2 million, or approximately 23.5% of the PINE’s outstanding equity, including the units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) we hold in Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which are exchangeable into common stock of PINE on a one-for-one basis, at PINE’s election. Our investment in PINE generates investment income through the dividends distributed by PINE. In addition to the dividends we receive from PINE, our investment in PINE may benefit from any appreciation in PINE’s stock price, although no assurances can be provided that such appreciation will occur, the amount by which our investment will increase in value, or the timing thereof. Any dividends received from PINE are included in Investment and Other Income (Loss) on the accompanying statement of operations.  

Discontinued Operations. The Company reports the historical financial position and results of operations of disposed businesses as discontinued operations when it has no continuing interest in the business. On October 16, 2019, the Company sold a controlling interest in its wholly owned subsidiary that held approximately 5,300 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida. On October 17, 2019, the Company sold its interest in the LPGA golf operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company has reported the historical financial position and the results of operations related to the Land JV and the golf operations as discontinued operations (see Note 23, “Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”). The cash flows related to discontinued operations have been disclosed. There were no discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. Any real estate entities or properties included in the consolidated financial statements have been consolidated only for the periods that such entities or properties were owned or under control by us. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has retained interests in the Land JV and the Mitigation Bank JV, as well as an equity investment in PINE. The Company has concluded that these entities are variable interest entities of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary and as a result, these entities are not consolidated.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Because of the fluctuating market conditions that currently exist in the Florida and national real estate markets, and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to the Company’s investment in income properties, could change materially during the time span associated with the continued volatility of the real estate and financial markets or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Lease Modifications. In April 2020, the FASB issued interpretive guidance relating to the accounting for lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. In this guidance, entities can elect not to apply lease modification accounting with respect to such lease concessions and, instead, treat the concession as if it was a part of the existing contract. This guidance is only applicable to lease concessions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company elected to not apply lease modification accounting with respect to rent deferrals as the concessions were related to the COVID-19 Pandemic and there was not a substantial increase in the lessor’s rights under the lease agreement. Accordingly, for leases in which deferred rent agreements were reached, the Company has continued to account for the lease by recognizing the normal straight-line rental income and as the deferred rents are repaid by the tenant, the straight-line receivable will be reduced. The portion of the straight-line adjustment related to the COVID-19 Pandemic concessions has been reflected separately in the Company’s statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020. With respect to rent abatement agreements, lease modification accounting applies as extended term was a part of such agreements, accordingly the Company re-calculated straight-line rental income for such leases to recognize over the new lease term.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)  2018-02, which amends the guidance allowing for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act effective January 1, 2018 (the “2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”). The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company implemented ASU 2018-02 effective January 1, 2019 and there were no such reclassifications related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which amends its guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019. ASU 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including but not limited to, loans, trade receivables, and net investments in leases. The Company adopted the changes to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses on January 1, 2020. The Company’s evaluation of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) resulted in a reserve of approximately $252,000 on the Company’s Commercial Loan Investment portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 4, “Commercial Loan Investments” for further information.

ASC Topic 842, Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires entities to recognize assets and liabilities that arise from financing and operating leases and to classify those finance and operating lease payments in the financing or operating sections, respectively, of the statement of cash flows pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

The Company’s implemented ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 and has elected to follow the practical expedients and accounting policies below:

The Company, as lessee and as lessor, will not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases or (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.

The Company, as lessee, will not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term (twelve months or less) leases. Instead, the Company, as lessee, will recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As of the date of this report, the Company has no such short-term leases.

The Company, as lessor, will not separate nonlease components from lease components and, instead, will account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The primary reason for this election is related to instances where common area maintenance is, or may be, a component of base rent within a lease agreement.

Table of Contents

At the beginning of the period of adoption, January 1, 2019, through a cumulative-effect adjustment, the Company increased right-of use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases for which the Company is the lessee. The amount of the adjustment totaled approximately $681,000 and was reflected as an increase in Other Assets and Accrued and Other Liabilities for corporate leases totaling approximately $473,000 and an increase in Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Held for sale for golf operations segment leases totaling approximately $208,000. There were no adjustments related to the leases for which the Company is the lessor.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of June 30, 2020 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled approximately $29.7 million at June 30, 2020 of which approximately $27.5 million of cash is being held in multiple separate escrow accounts to be reinvested through the like-kind exchange structure into other income properties; $1.7 million is being held in a general tenant improvement reserve account with Wells Fargo in connection with our financing of the property located in Raleigh, NC leased to Wells Fargo (“Wells Fargo Raleigh”); approximately $286,000 is being held in a capital replacement reserve account in connection with our financing of six income properties with Wells Fargo Bank, NA (“Wells Fargo”); $100,000 is being held in an escrow account in connection with the sale of the Company’s ground lease located in Daytona Beach, FL, and approximately $78,000 is being held in an escrow account related to a separate land transaction which closed in February 2017.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activity

Interest Rate Swaps. In conjunction with the variable-rate mortgage loan secured by Wells Fargo Raleigh, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate (the “Wells Interest Rate Swap”). Effective March 31, 2020, in conjunction with the variable-rate Credit Facility (hereinafter defined in Note 15, “Long-Term Debt”), the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate on $100 million of the outstanding Credit Facility balance (the “Credit Facility Interest Rate Swap”). The Company accounts for its cash flow hedging derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging. Depending upon the hedge’s value at each balance sheet date, the derivatives are included in either Other Assets or Accrued and Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value. On the date the Interest Rate Swap was entered into, the Company designated the derivatives as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to the recognized long-term debt liabilities.

The Company formally documented the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions. At the hedges’ inception, the Company formally assessed whether the derivatives that are used in hedging the transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items, and we will continue to do so on an ongoing basis. As the terms of the Wells Interest Rate Swap and Credit Facility Interest Rate Swap and the associated debts are identical, both hedging instruments qualify for the shortcut method, therefore, it is assumed that there is no hedge ineffectiveness throughout the entire term of the hedging instruments.

Changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are highly effective and designated and qualified as cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged items.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s Credit Facility, as defined in Note 15, “Long-Term Debt,” approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The face value of the Company’s fixed rate commercial loan investments held as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the mortgage notes and convertible debt held as of June 30, 2020 and December 31,

13

Table of Contents

2019 are measured at fair value based on current market rates for financial instruments with similar risks and maturities. See Note 9, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is based on the framework established by GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. GAAP describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Recognition of Interest Income from Commercial Loan Investments

Interest income on commercial loan investments includes interest payments made by the borrower and the accretion of purchase discounts and loan origination fees, offset by the amortization of loan costs. Interest payments are accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance and purchase discounts and loan origination fees are accreted into income using the effective yield method, adjusted for prepayments.

Mitigation Credits

Mitigation credits are stated at historical cost. As these assets are sold, the related revenues and cost basis are reported as revenues from, and direct costs of, real estate operations, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable related to income properties, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of accrued tenant reimbursable expenses and unresolved collections as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Receivables related to income property tenants totaled approximately $1.9 million and $533,000 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.4 million is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $493,000 in accrued property tax receivables due largely to the significant multi-tenant acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as well as approximately $890,000 of unpaid receivables representing the approximately 7% of rents regarding which the Company has not reached an agreement.

Accounts receivable related to real estate operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, totaled approximately $1.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are primarily related to the reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs completed by the Company in conjunction with two land sale transactions that closed during the fourth quarter of 2015 as more fully described in Note 12, “Other Assets.”

Trade accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables related to golf operations, which were classified in Assets Held for Sale on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and thereafter until the sale of the golf operations during the fourth quarter of 2019. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $499,000 is due from the buyer of the golf operations for the rounds surcharge the Company paid to the City of Daytona Beach.

14

Table of Contents

The collectability of the aforementioned receivables shall be considered and adjusted through an allowance for credit losses pursuant to ASC 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. As of June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $73,000 while no allowance was required as of December 31, 2019.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease

In accordance with the FASB guidance on business combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on the determination of the fair values of these assets.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease, including the probability of renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless the Company believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the option, whereby the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as-if-vacant, determined as set forth above. The value of in-place leases exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off. The value of tenant relationships is reviewed on individual transactions to determine if future value was derived from the acquisition.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations which clarified the definition of a business. Pursuant to ASU 2017-01, the acquisition of an income property subject to a lease no longer qualifies as a business combination, but rather an asset acquisition, accordingly, acquisition costs have been capitalized.

Sales of Real Estate

Gains and losses on sales of real estate are accounted for as required by FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of real estate when the Company transfers the promised goods and/or services in the contract based on the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations within the contract. As market information becomes available, real estate cost basis is analyzed and recorded at the lower of cost or market.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes result primarily from the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes (see Note 20, “Income Taxes”.) In June 2006, the FASB issued additional guidance, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements included in income taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure and transition. In accordance with FASB guidance included in income taxes, the Company has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions and believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions

15

Table of Contents

are well documented and supported. Additionally, the Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to the FASB guidance.

NOTE 2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company implemented FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method.

NOTE 4. COMMERCIAL LOAN INVESTMENTS

Our investments in commercial loans or similar structured finance investments, such as mezzanine loans or other subordinated debt, have been and are expected to continue to be secured by commercial or residential real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in the entity that owns the real estate. The first mortgage loans we invest in or originate are for commercial real estate located in the United States and its territories, and are current or performing with either a fixed or floating rate. Some of these loans may be syndicated in either a pari-passu or senior/subordinated structure. Commercial first mortgage loans generally provide for a higher recovery rate due to their senior position in the underlying collateral. Commercial mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of the borrower’s equity ownership in the underlying commercial real estate. Unlike a mortgage, a mezzanine loan is not secured by a lien on the property. An investor’s rights in a mezzanine loan are usually governed by an intercreditor agreement that provides holders with the rights to cure defaults and exercise control on certain decisions of any senior debt secured by the same commercial property.

In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company began marketing its commercial loan portfolio in advance of their upcoming maturities to further strengthen the Company’s liquidity. The Company received multiple bids for the portfolio including a bid offering a value that was at a discount to par. Additionally, the Company implemented the guidance regarding CECL effective January 1, 2020, which resulted in an allowance reserve of approximately $252,000. The CECL reserve combined with the impairment related to marketing the loan portfolio resulted in an aggregate impairment charge on the loan portfolio of approximately $1.9 million, or $0.30 per share, after tax during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold four of its commercial loan investments in two separate transactions generating aggregate proceeds of approximately $20.0 million and resulting in a second quarter loss of approximately $353,000, or approximately $0.06 per share, after tax. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the total loss on the loan portfolio disposition, including the impairment and CECL reserve charges on the four loans disposed of, in the three months ended March 31, 2020, was approximately $2.1 million, or $0.33 per share, after tax.

The Company’s commercial loan investments were comprised of the following at June 30, 2020:

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES BUSINESS

PINE. Pursuant to the Company’s management agreement with PINE, we will generate a base management fee equal to 1.5% of PINE’s total equity.

We also have an opportunity to achieve additional cash flows as Manager of PINE pursuant to the incentive fee provisions of the management agreement.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company earned management fee revenue from PINE totaling approximately $644,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, which is included in management services in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Dividend income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $408,000 and $816,000, respectively, and is included in investment and other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company earned management fee revenue from the Land JV totaling approximately $51,000 and $105,000, respectively, which is included in management services in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and was collected in full during the periods earned.

Daytona Beach Development. During 2018, the Company acquired a 5-acre parcel of land with existing structures in downtown Daytona Beach, for a purchase price of approximately $2.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has also acquired other contiguous parcels totaling approximately 1-acre for approximately $2.1 million. Combined, these parcels represent the substantial portion of an entire city block in downtown Daytona Beach adjacent to International Speedway Boulevard, a major thoroughfare in Daytona Beach. We have engaged a national real estate brokerage firm to assist us in identifying a developer or investor to acquire a portion or all of the property or to contribute into a potential joint venture to redevelop the property. We are pursuing entitlements for the potential redevelopment of these parcels, along with certain other adjacent land parcels, some of which we have under contract for purchase. As of June 30, 2020, we have incurred approximately $1.5 million in raze and entitlement costs related to these parcels which is included in Land and Development Costs on the consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

Other Real Estate Assets. The Company owns mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $2.5 million as of June 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company owned mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $2.3 million. The increase in mitigation credit cost basis for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 is primarily the result of the 20 mitigation credits acquired from the Mitigation Bank, as defined in Note 7, “Investments in Joint Ventures”, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaling approximately $1.5 million, or approximately $75,000 per credit. The cost basis was reduced by the impact of approximately 16 mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $1.2 million that were provided at no cost to buyers. Additionally, the Company purchased 2 mitigation credits from the Mitigation Bank JV, for approximately $224,000. The aggregate cost of sales charge of  approximately $1.5 million, which is not expected to be a recurring charge, was included in direct costs of revenues of real estate operations during the six months ended June 30, 2020 in the consolidated statements of operations. Mitigation credit sales totaled approximately $4,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no mitigation credit sales during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Subsurface Interests. As of June 30, 2020, the Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interests underlying approximately 455,000 “surface” acres of land owned by others in 20 counties in Florida (the “Subsurface Interests”). The Company leases certain of the Subsurface Interests to mineral exploration firms for exploration. Our subsurface operations consist of revenue from the leasing of exploration rights and in some instances, additional revenues from royalties applicable to production from the leased acreage.

There were no subsurface sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Prior to September 2019, the Company leased certain of the Subsurface Interests to a mineral exploration organization for exploration. The lessee had previously exercised renewal options through the eighth year of the lease which ended on September 22, 2019. The Lessee elected not to renew the oil exploration lease beyond September 22, 2019.

Lease income generated by the annual lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the guaranteed lease term. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, lease income of approximately $214,000 and $413,000 was recognized, respectively, with no lease income recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company also received oil royalties from operating oil wells on 800 acres under a separate lease with a separate operator. Revenues received from oil royalties totaled approximately $20,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 with no revenues received during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues received from oil royalties totaled approximately $10,000 and $29,000, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company is not prohibited from selling any or all of its Subsurface Interests. The Company may release surface entry rights or other rights upon request of a surface owner for a negotiated release fee typically based on a percentage of the surface value. Should the Company complete a transaction to sell all or a portion of its Subsurface Interests or complete a release transaction, the Company may utilize the like-kind exchange structure in acquiring one or more replacement investments including income-producing properties.

Cash payments for the release of surface entry rights totaled approximately $67,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no releases of surface entry rights during the six months ended June 30, 2019.  

Real Estate Operations – Discontinued Operations

As of June 30, 2020, the Company continues to pursue land sales of the approximately 4,900 acres that formerly comprised its land holdings on behalf of the JV Partners in its role as Manager of the Land JV. See Note 24, “Subsequent Events”, for land sales from the Land JV subsequent to June 30, 2020. As a result of those land sales, the Land JV currently holds approximately 1,800 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Company’s retained interest in the Land JV represents a notional 33.5% stake in the venture, the value of which may be realized in the form of distributions based on the timing and the amount of proceeds achieved when the land is ultimately sold by the Land JV. As of June 30, 2020, the Land JV has completed approximately $22.2 million in land sales since its inception in mid-October 2019 and currently has a pipeline of 8 purchase and sale agreements for potential land sale transactions representing approximately

22

Table of Contents

$31 million of potential proceeds to the Land JV. The roughly 267 acres under contract represents approximately 15% of the total remaining land in the Land JV.

The Company currently serves as the manager of the Land JV and is responsible for day-to-day operations at the direction of the JV Partners. All major decisions and certain other actions that can be taken by the Manager must be approved by the unanimous consent of the JV Partners (the “Unanimous Actions”). Unanimous Actions include such matters as the approval of pricing for all land parcels in the Land JV; approval of contracts for the sale of land that contain material revisions to the standard purchase contract of the Land JV; entry into any lease agreement affiliated with the Land JV;  entering into listing or brokerage agreements; approval and amendment of the Land JV’s operating budget; obtaining financing for the Land JV; admission of additional members; and dispositions of the Land JV’s real property for amounts less than market value. Pursuant to the Land JV’s operating agreement, the Land JV will pay the Manager a management fee in the initial amount of $20,000 per month, which amount will be reevaluated on a quarterly basis and reduced based on the value of real property that remains in the Land JV.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, prior to the inception of the Land JV, a total of approximately 74 acres were sold for approximately $10.8 million.

Land JV. The Investment in Joint Ventures on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets includes the Company’s ownership interest in the Land JV. We have concluded the Land JV is a variable interest entity and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The significant factors related to this determination include, but are not limited to, the Land JV being jointly controlled by the members through the use of unanimous approval for all material actions. Under the guidance of FASB ASC 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, the Company uses the equity method to account for the JV Investment.

The following table provides summarized financial information of the Land JV as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The Company’s share of the Land JV’s net income was zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Pursuant to ASC 323, certain adjustments are made when calculating the Company’s share of net income, including adjustments required to reflect the investor’s share of changes in investee’s capital to reflect distributions from the venture. Additionally, basis differences are also considered. The Company recorded the retained interest in the Land JV of approximately $48.9 million at the estimated fair market value based on the relationship of the $97.0 million sales price of the 66.5% equity interest to the 33.5% retained interest. The Land JV recorded the assets contributed by the Company at carry-over basis pursuant to ASC 845 which states that transfers of nonmonetary assets to should typically be recorded at the transferor’s historical cost basis. Accordingly, the Company’s basis difference in the 33.5% retained equity interest will be evaluated each quarter upon determining the Company’s share of the Land JV’s net income. No adjustment was required for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Mitigation Bank. The mitigation bank transaction completed in June 2018 consists of the sale of a 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank JV. The purchaser of the 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank JV is comprised of certain funds and accounts managed by an investment advisor subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). The Company retained an approximately 30% non-controlling interest in the Mitigation Bank JV. A third-party was retained by the Mitigation Bank JV as the day-to-day manager of the Mitigation Bank property, responsible for the maintenance, generation, tracking, and other aspects of wetland mitigation credits. The approximately $6.9 million Investments in Joint Ventures included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is comprised of the fair market value of the 30% retained interest in the Mitigation Bank JV.

The Mitigation Bank JV intends to engage in the creation and sale of both federal and state wetland mitigation credits. These credits will be created pursuant to the applicable permits that have been or will be issued to the Mitigation Bank JV from the federal and state regulatory agencies that exercise jurisdiction over the awarding of such credits, but no assurances can be given as to the ultimate issuance, marketability or value of the credits. The Mitigation Bank JV received the permit from the state regulatory agency on June 8, 2018 (the “State Permit”). The state regulatory agency may award up to 355 state credits under the State Permit. On August 6, 2018, the state regulatory agency awarded the initial 88.84 credits under the State Permit. Receipt of the remaining federal permit is anticipated to occur prior to the end of 2020.

The operating agreement of the Mitigation Bank JV (the “Operating Agreement”) executed in conjunction with the mitigation bank transaction stipulates that the Company shall arrange for sales of the Mitigation Bank JV’s mitigation credits to unrelated third parties totaling no less than $6 million of revenue to the Mitigation Bank JV, net of commissions, by the end of 2020, utilizing a maximum of 60 mitigation credits (the “Minimum Sales Requirement”). The Operating Agreement stipulates that if the Minimum Sales Requirement is not achieved, then BlackRock has the right, but is not required, to cause the Company to purchase the number of mitigation credits necessary to reach the Minimum Sales Requirement (the “Minimum Sales Guarantee”). The Company estimates the fair value of the Minimum Sales Guarantee to be approximately $100,000 which was recorded as a reduction in the gain on the transaction and is included in Accrued and Other Liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Additionally, the Operating Agreement provides BlackRock the right to cause the Company to purchase a maximum of 8.536 mitigation credits per quarter (the “Commitment Amount”) from the Mitigation Bank JV at a price equal to 60% of the then fair market value for mitigation credits (the “Put Right”). The Put Right is applicable even if the Mitigation Bank JV has not yet been awarded a sufficient number of mitigation credits by the applicable federal and state regulatory agencies. Further, in any quarter that BlackRock does not exercise its Put Right, the unexercised Commitment Amount for the applicable quarter may be rolled over to future calendar quarters. However, the Operating Agreement also stipulates

24

Table of Contents

that any amount of third-party sales of mitigation credits will reduce the Put Rights outstanding on a one-for-one basis, if the sales price of the third-party sales equals or exceeds the prices stipulated by the Put Right. Further, any sales of mitigation credits to third parties at the requisite minimum prices in a quarter that exceeds the quarterly amount of the Put Right will reduce the Put Rights in future calendar quarters on a one-for-one basis. The maximum potential of future payments for the Company pursuant to the Put Right is approximately $27 million. The Company estimates the fair value of the Put Right to be approximately $200,000, which was recorded as a reduction in the gain on the transaction and is included in Accrued and Other Liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

In March 2020, BlackRock exercised its Put Right and put 20 mitigation credits to the Company, which the Company purchased for approximately $1.5 million, or approximately $75,000 per credit. In December 2019, BlackRock exercised its Put Right and put 25 mitigation credits to the Company, which the Company purchased for approximately $1.9 million, or approximately $75,000 per credit. The credits acquired were included as an increase to Mitigation Credits on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company evaluated the impact of the exercised Put Right on the fair value of the Company’s investment in the Mitigation Bank JV as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 of approximately $6.9 million, and on the fair value of the mitigation credits purchased as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, noting no impairment. The Company evaluates its estimates of fair value on an ongoing basis; however, actual results may differ from those estimates. See Note 24, “Subsequent Events” for additional Put Right exercised in July 2020.

NOTE 11. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of long-lived assets required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, executed purchase and sale agreements on specific properties, third party valuations, discounted cash flow models, and other model-based techniques.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 there were no impairment charges on the Company’s undeveloped land holdings, or its income property portfolio.

Income Property Straight-Line Rent Adjustment.  As of June 30, 2020, the straight-line rent adjustment includes a balance of approximately $1.0 million of deferred rent related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Pursuant to the April 2020 FASB guidance on lease modifications, for leases in which deferred rent agreements were reached, the Company has continued to account for the lease concessions by recognizing the normal straight-line rental income and as the deferred rents are repaid by the tenant, the straight-line receivable will be reduced.

Infrastructure Reimbursement Receivables. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Infrastructure Reimbursement Receivables were all related to the land sales within the Tomoka Town Center. The balance as of June 30, 2020 consisted of approximately $1,100,000 due from Tanger for infrastructure reimbursement to be repaid in seven remaining annual installments of $175,000, net of a discount of approximately $124,000, and approximately $505,000 due from Sam’s Club for infrastructure reimbursement to be repaid in five remaining annual installments of $110,000, net of a discount of approximately $45,000.

Operating Leases – Right-of-Use Asset. The Company implemented FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, effective January 1, 2019, resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment to increase right-of-use assets and related liabilities for operating leases for which the Company is the lessee.

There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. The effect of 39,402 and 7,500 potentially dilutive securities was not included for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company intends to settle its 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”) in cash upon conversion with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. Therefore, only the amount in excess of the par value of the Convertible Notes will be included in our calculation of diluted net income per share using the treasury stock method. As such, the Convertible Notes have no impact on diluted net income per share until the price of our common stock exceeds the current conversion price of $77.79. The average price of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020 did not exceed the conversion price which resulted in no additional diluted outstanding shares.

NOTE 14. TREASURY STOCK

In February 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $10 million stock repurchase program (the “$10 Million Repurchase Program”). During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 88,565 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of approximately $4.1 million, or an average price per share of $46.29. The shares of the Company’s common stock repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were returned to the Company’s treasury. The $10 Million Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date.

(1)

Effective March 31, 2020, utilized interest rate swap to achieve fixed interest rate of 0.7325% plus the applicable spread on $100 million of the outstanding principal balance.

(2)

Secured by the Company’s interest in six income properties. The mortgage loan carries a fixed rate of 4.33% per annum during the first ten years of the term, and requires payments of interest only during the first ten years of the loan. After the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan, the cash flows, as defined in the related loan agreement, generated by the underlying six income properties must be used to pay down the principal balance of the loan until paid off or until the loan matures. The loan is fully pre-payable after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan.

(3)

Secured by the Company’s income property leased to Wells Fargo Raleigh. The mortgage loan has a 5-year term with two years interest only, and interest and a 25-year amortization for the balance of the term. The mortgage loan bears a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of 190 basis points. The interest rate for this mortgage loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 3.17%. The mortgage loan can be prepaid at any time subject to the termination of the interest rate swap. Amortization of the principal balance began in May 2018.

Credit Facility. The Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) serving as the administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, is unsecured with regard to our income property portfolio but is guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by BMO and also includes Wells Fargo and Branch Banking & Trust Company. On September 7, 2017, the Company executed the second amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility (the “2017 Amended Credit Facility”).

On May 24, 2019, the Company executed the Second Amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “Second Revolver Amendment”). As a result of the Second Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility has a total borrowing capacity of $200.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $300.0 million during the term, subject to lender approval. The Credit Facility provides the lenders with a security interest in the equity of the Company subsidiaries that own the properties included in the borrowing base. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 195 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company, as defined in the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, as amended by the Second Revolver Amendment. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity. Pursuant to the Second Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility matures on May 24, 2023, with the ability to extend the term for 1 year.

On November 26, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second 2019 Revolver Amendment”), which further amends the 2017 Amended Credit Facility. The Second 2019 Revolver Amendment included, among other things, an adjustment of certain financial maintenance covenants, including a temporary reduction of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to allow the Company to redeploy the proceeds received from the sale of certain income properties to PINE (the “PINE Income Property Sale Transactions”),  and an increase in the maximum amount the Company may invest in stock and stock equivalents of real estate investment trusts to allow the Company to invest in the common stock and operating partnership units of PINE.

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2020 Revolver Amendment”) whereby the tangible net worth covenant was adjusted to be more reflective of market terms. The 2020 Revolver Amendment was effective as of March 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2020, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $200.0 million. The available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was approximately $37.2 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets. As of June 30, 2020, the Credit Facility had a $162.8 million balance outstanding. See Note 1, “Description of Business and Principles of Interim Statements” for a discussion of the potential impact on borrowing base assets due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The Credit Facility is subject to customary restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial maintenance covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum indebtedness ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative covenants and events of default including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change in control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Notes Payable. In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has certain other borrowings, as noted in the table above, all of which are non-recourse.

Convertible Debt. The Company’s $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Notes (the “2020 Notes”) were scheduled to mature on March 15, 2020; however, the Company completed the Note Exchanges, hereinafter defined, on February 4, 2020. The initial conversion rate was 14.5136 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $68.90 per share of common stock.

On February 4, 2020, the Company closed privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its outstanding 2020 Notes pursuant to which the Company issued approximately  $57.4 million principal amount of 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in exchange for approximately  $57.4 million principal amount of the 2020 Notes (the “Note Exchanges”).  In addition, the Company closed a privately negotiated purchase agreement with an investor, who had not invested in the 2020 Notes, and issued approximately $17.6 million principal amount of the 2025 Notes (the “New Notes Placement,” and together with the Note Exchanges, the “Convert Transactions”). The Company used approximately $5.9 million of the proceeds from the New Notes Placement to repurchase approximately $5.9 million of the 2020 Notes. As a result of the Convert Transactions there was a total of $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding.

In exchange for issuing the 2025 Notes pursuant to the Note Exchanges, the Company received and cancelled the exchanged 2020 Notes. The $11.7 million of net proceeds from the New Notes Placement were used to redeem at maturity on March 15, 2020 approximately $11.7 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes that remained outstanding.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at an approximate $2.6 million discount, resulting in a gain on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.1 million. Following the repurchase of the 2025 Notes during the first and second quarter of 2020, $62.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remains outstanding.  

The 2025 Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 15th and October 15th, commencing on April 15, 2020, at a rate of 3.875% per annum. The 2025 Notes mature on April 15, 2025 and may not be redeemed by the Company prior to the maturity date. The conversion rate for the 2025 Notes is initially 12.7910 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 of principal of the 2025 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $78.18 per share of the Company’s common stock). The initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes represents a premium of approximately 20% to the $65.15 closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American on January 29, 2020. If the Company’s Board of Directors increases the quarterly dividend above the $0.13 per share in place at issuance, the conversion rate is adjusted with each such increase in the quarterly dividend amount. After the second quarter 2020 dividend, the conversion rate is equal to 12.8551 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of approximately $77.79 per share of common stock. The 2025 Notes are convertible into cash, common stock or a combination thereof, subject to various conditions, at the Company’s option. Should certain corporate transactions or

32

Table of Contents

events occur prior to the stated maturity date, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2025 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction or event.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may not surrender their 2025 Notes for conversion prior to January 15, 2025 except upon the occurrence of certain conditions relating to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or specified corporate events including a change in control of the Company. The Company may not redeem the 2025 Notes prior to the stated maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are convertible, at the election of the Company, into solely cash, solely shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to settle the 2025 Notes in cash upon conversion, with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. In accordance with GAAP, the 2025 Notes were accounted for as a liability with a separate equity component recorded for the conversion option. A liability was recorded for the 2025 Notes on the issuance date at fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current market rates for debt instruments with similar terms. The difference between the initial proceeds from the 2025 Notes and the estimated fair value of the debt instruments resulted in a debt discount, with an offset recorded to additional paid-in capital representing the equity component. As of June 30, 2020, the unamortized debt discount of our Notes was approximately $6.8 million.

NOTE 16. INTEREST RATE SWAPS

During April 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for the $25.0 million mortgage note payable as discussed in Note 15, “Long-Term Debt.” During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the interest rate swap agreement was 100% effective. Accordingly, the change in fair value on the interest rate swap has been classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement, which was a loss of approximately $217,000, is included in accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement, which was a gain of approximately $99,000, was included in other assets  on the consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap was effective on April 7, 2016 and matures on April 7, 2021. The interest rate swap fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $23.5 million to a rate of 3.17%.

During March 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for $100.0 million of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as discussed in Note 15, “Long-Term Debt.” During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the interest rate swap agreement was 100% effective. Accordingly, the change in fair value on the interest rate swap has been classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement, which was a loss of approximately $2.2 million, was included in accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap was effective on March 31, 2020 and matures on March 29, 2024. The interest rate swap fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $100.0 million to a rate of 0.73250% plus the applicable spread.

Reserve for Tenant Improvements. In connection with the acquisition of Perimeter Place in Atlanta, Georgia on February 21, 2020, the Company received approximately $460,000 of credits from the seller of the property for tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions for multiple tenants. Such credits have been included in accrued and other liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, payments totaling approximately $231,000 were made, leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $229,000.

In connection with the acquisition of the Crossroads Towne Center property in Chandler, Arizona on January 24, 2020, the Company received approximately $1.3 million of credits from the seller of the property for tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions for two tenants. Such credits have been included in accrued and other liabilities. No payments have been made during the six months ended June 30, 2020, accordingly, the remaining commitment is approximately $1.3 million.

Environmental Reserve. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company accrued an environmental reserve of approximately $110,000 in connection with an estimate of additional costs required to monitor a parcel of less than one acre of land owned by the Company in Highlands County, Florida, on which environmental remediation work had previously been performed. The Company engaged legal counsel who, in turn, engaged environmental engineers to review the site and the prior monitoring test results. During the year ended December 31, 2015, their review was completed, and the Company made an additional accrual of approximately $500,000, representing the low end of the range of possible costs estimated by the engineers to be between approximately $500,000 and $1.0 million to resolve this matter subject to the approval of the state department of environmental protection (the “FDEP”). The FDEP issued a Remedial Action Plan Modification Approval Order (the “FDEP Approval”) in August 2016 which supports the approximate $500,000 accrual made in 2015. The Company is implementing the remediation plan pursuant to the FDEP Approval. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made an additional accrual of approximately $51,000 for the second year of monitoring as the low end of the original range of estimated costs was increased for the amount of monitoring now anticipated. Since the total accrual of approximately $661,000 was made, approximately $580,000 in costs have been incurred through June 30, 2020, leaving a remaining accrual of approximately $81,000.

Restoration Accrual. As part of the resolution of a regulatory matter pertaining to the Company’s prior agricultural activities on certain of the Company’s land located in Daytona Beach, Florida, as of December 31, 2015, the Company accrued an obligation of approximately $1.7 million, representing the low end of the estimated range of possible wetlands restoration costs for approximately 148.4 acres within such land, and such estimated costs were included on the consolidated balance sheets as an increase in the basis of our land and development costs associated with those and benefitting surrounding acres. The final proposal for restoration work was received during the second quarter of 2016 which totaled approximately $2.0 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $300,000 was recorded during the second quarter of 2016. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company received a revised estimate for completion of the restoration work for which the adjusted final total cost was approximately $2.4 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $361,000 was recorded during the first quarter of 2019. The Company has funded approximately $2.3 million of the total $2.4 million of estimated costs through the period ended June 30, 2020, leaving a remaining accrual of approximately $57,000. This matter is more fully described in Note 21 “Commitments and Contingencies.”

Operating Leases – Liability. The Company implemented FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, effective January 1, 2019, resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment to increase right-of-use assets and related liabilities for operating leases for which the Company is the lessee.

Interest Reserve from Commercial Loan Investments. In conjunction with certain of the Company’s commercial loan investments, the borrower has deposited interest and real estate tax reserves in escrow accounts held by the Company. The corresponding liability is recorded in deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as the interest reserves are utilized to fund the monthly interest due on the loans. As of June 30, 2020, the escrow balance, related to four of the Company’s commercial loan investments, had been released in connection with the sale transactions completed during the second quarter of 2020, see Note 4, “Commercial Loan Investments”, for further disclosure.  

Tenant Contributions. In connection with the acquisition of the property in Aspen, Colorado, the master tenant contributed $1.5 million of the $28.0 million purchase price at closing on February 21, 2018. Additionally, the master tenant funded, from its leasing reserve escrow, approximately $935,000 of the Company’s acquisition-related costs. The tenant contributions are being recognized ratably over the remaining term of the lease into income property rental revenue. Approximately $284,000 was recognized into income property rental revenue through June 30, 2020, leaving an aggregate balance of approximately $2.2 million, related to the Company’s total acquisition cost of approximately $29.0 million, to be recognized over the remaining term of the lease.

In connection with the construction of the Company’s beachfront restaurant formerly leased to Cocina 214 in Daytona Beach, Florida, pursuant to the lease agreement, the tenant contributed approximately $1.9 million towards the completion of the building and tenant improvements through direct payments to various third-party construction vendors. The tenant contribution is being recognized ratably over the remaining term of the lease into income property rental revenue. As a result of the lease termination agreement, entered into on July 16, 2019 by the Company and Cocina 214, the balance of the tenant contribution liability was reduced by $1.0 million, leaving a balance of approximately $690,000 to be recognized into income property rental revenue ratably over the remaining term of the original Cocina 214 lease. Approximately $238,000 was recognized into income property rental revenue through June 30, 2020, leaving a balance of approximately $651,000 to be recognized over the remaining term of the lease.

EQUITY-CLASSIFIED STOCK COMPENSATION

Performance Share Awards – Peer Group Market Condition Vesting

On February 3, 2017, the Company awarded to certain employees 12,635 Performance Shares under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Original 2010 Plan”). The Performance Shares awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of Performance Shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock so vesting will be determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2017, and ending on December 31, 2019. On February 11, 2020, pursuant to the calculation of the vesting criteria, as performed by an independent third party, the recipients vested 14,214 shares in the aggregate. The Company’s total shareholder return for the performance period was 15.18% and the Company’s percentile rank for the performance period was the 55th percentile. Based on the formula, as defined in the award agreements, the actual vested percentage of the performance shares was 112.5%.

On January 24, 2018, the Company awarded to certain employees 15,445 Performance Shares under the Original 2010 Plan. The Performance Shares awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of Performance Shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock so vesting will be determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2018, and ending on December 31, 2020.

On January 23, 2019, the Company awarded to certain employees 21,195 Performance Shares under the Second Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2010 Plan”). The Performance Shares awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of Performance Shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock so vesting will be determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2019, and ending on December 31, 2021.

On February 24, 2020, the Company awarded to certain employees 19,641 Performance Shares under the Amended 2010 Plan. The Performance Shares awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of Performance Shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock so vesting will be determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2020, and ending on December 31, 2022.

Pursuant to amendments to the employment agreements and certain restricted share award agreements entered into by the Company on August 4, 2017, the restricted shares granted thereunder, if they are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, will fully vest following a change in control only if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or if the executive resigns for good reason (as such terms are defined in the executive’s employment agreement), in each case, at any time during the 24-month period following the change in control (as defined in the executive’s employment agreement).

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its awards that are based on market conditions. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and shareholder returns to companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

Market Condition Restricted Shares – Stock Price Vesting

On May 20, 2015 and February 26, 2016, a combined grant of 26,000 shares, net of 68,000 shares permanently surrendered during 2016, of restricted Company common stock was awarded to Mr. Albright under the Original 2010 Plan under a new five-year employment agreement. The 26,000 shares of restricted Company common stock outstanding from these grants were to vest in four increments based upon the price per share of Company common stock during the term of his employment (or within sixty days after termination of employment by the Company without cause), meeting or exceeding the target trailing thirty-day average closing prices ranging from $60 and $65 per share for the first two increments of 2,000 shares each, $70 per share for the third increment of 18,000 shares, and $75 per share for the fourth increment of 4,000 shares. If any increment of the restricted shares fails to satisfy the applicable stock price condition prior to January 28, 2021, that increment of the restricted shares will be forfeited. As of June 30, 2020, the first two increments of this award had vested, leaving 22,000 shares outstanding.

Table of Contents

The Company’s determination of the fair value of the three-year vest restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date, less the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK COMPENSATION

Each member of the Company’s Board of Directors has the option to receive his or her annual retainer in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares awarded to the directors making such election is calculated quarterly by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the amount of the quarterly retainer payment due to such director plus (B) meeting fees earned by such director during the quarter, by (ii) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the quarter for which such payment applied, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Commencing in 2019, each non-employee director serving as of the beginning of each calendar year shall receive an annual award of the Company’s common stock valued at $20,000 (the “Annual Award”). The number of shares awarded will be calculated based on the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the date two business days prior to the date of the award, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled approximately $351,000, or 6,283 shares, and $363,000, or 6,322, respectively. The 2020 amount includes the approximately $120,000 Annual Award received during the first quarter of 2020, while the 2019 amount includes the approximately $160,000 Annual Award received during the first quarter of 2019.

NOTE 20. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 20.8% and 25.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The provision for income taxes reflects the Company’s estimate of the effective rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for any discrete events, which are reported in the period that they occur. There were no discrete events during the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

The Company has filed, or will file, a consolidated income tax return in the United States Federal jurisdiction and the states of Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. The Internal Revenue Service has audited the federal tax returns through the year 2012, with all proposed adjustments settled. The Florida Department of Revenue has audited the Florida tax returns through the year 2014, with all proposed adjustments settled. The Company recognizes all potential accrued interest and penalties to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

NOTE 21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of its business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

On November 21, 2011, the Company, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC, as owners of the property leased to Harris Teeter, Inc. (“Harris Teeter”) in Charlotte, North Carolina, were served with pleadings filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for a highway condemnation action involving this property. The proposed road modifications would impact access to the property. The Company does not believe the road modifications provided a basis for Harris Teeter to terminate the lease. Regardless, in January 2013, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (“NCDOT”) proposed to redesign the road modifications to keep the all access intersection open for ingress with no change to the planned limitation on egress to the right-in/right-out only. Additionally, NCDOT and the City of Charlotte proposed to build and maintain a new access road/point into the property. Construction has begun and is not expected to be completed until 2020. Harris Teeter has expressed satisfaction with the redesigned project and indicated that it will not attempt to terminate its lease if this project is built as currently redesigned. Because the redesigned project will not be completed until 2020, the condemnation case has been placed in administrative closure. As a result, the trial and mediation will not likely be scheduled until requested by the parties, most likely in 2021.

Contractual Commitments – Expenditures

In connection with the acquisition of Perimeter Place in Atlanta, Georgia on February 21, 2020, the Company received approximately $460,000 of credits from the seller of the property for tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions for multiple tenants. Such credits have been included in accrued and other liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, payments totaling approximately $231,000 were made, leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $229,000.

In connection with the acquisition of the Crossroads Towne Center property in Chandler, Arizona on January 24, 2020, the Company received approximately $1.3 million of credits from the seller of the property for tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions for two tenants. Such credits have been included in accrued and other liabilities. No payments have been made during the six months ended June 30, 2020, accordingly, the remaining commitment is approximately $1.3 million.

In connection with the acquisition of The Strand property located in Jacksonville, FL on December 9, 2019, the Company received a credit of approximately $450,000 for a tenant improvement allowance for one of the tenants of The Strand. Accordingly, this amount is included in accrued and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the improvements were completed by the tenant and the Company funded the $450,000.

Other Matters

In connection with a certain land sale contract to which the Company is a party, the purchaser’s pursuit of customary development entitlements gave rise to an inquiry by federal regulatory agencies regarding prior agricultural activities by the Company on such land. During the second quarter of 2015, we received a written information request regarding such activities. We submitted a written response to the information request along with supporting documentation. During the fourth quarter of 2015, based on discussions with the agency, a penalty related to this matter was deemed probable, and accordingly the estimated penalty of $187,500 was accrued as of December 31, 2015, for which payment was made during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2015, the agency advised the Company that the resolution to the inquiry would likely require the Company to incur costs associated with wetlands restoration relating to approximately 148.4 acres of the Company’s land. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s third-party environmental engineers estimated the cost for such restoration activities to range from approximately $1.7 million to approximately $1.9 million. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2015, the Company accrued an obligation of approximately $1.7 million, representing the low end of the estimated range of possible restoration costs, and included such estimated costs on the consolidated balance sheets as an increase in the basis of our land and development costs associated with those and

Table of Contents

benefitting surrounding acres. As of June 30, 2016, the final proposal from the Company’s third-party environmental engineer was received reflecting a total cost of approximately $2.0 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $300,000 was made during the second quarter of 2016. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company received a revised estimate for completion of the restoration work for which the adjusted final total cost was approximately $2.4 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $361,000 was recorded during the first quarter of 2019. The Company has funded approximately $2.3 million of the total $2.4 million of estimated costs through June 30, 2020, leaving a remaining accrual of approximately $57,000. The Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that the estimated remaining liability of approximately $57,000 could change within one year of the date of the consolidated financial statements, which in turn could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and future cash flows. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis; however, actual results may differ from those estimates.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale of approximately 1,581 acres of land to Minto Communities LLC which acreage represents a portion of the Company’s remaining $430,000 obligation. Accordingly, the Company deposited $423,000 of cash in escrow to secure performance on the obligation. The funds in escrow can be drawn upon completion of certain milestones including completion of restoration and annual required monitoring. The first such milestone was achieved during the fourth quarter of 2017 and $189,500 of the escrow was refunded. The second milestone related to the completion of the first-year maintenance and monitoring was achieved during the first quarter of 2019 and $77,833 of the escrow was refunded, leaving an escrow balance of approximately $156,000 as of December 31, 2019. The third milestone related to the completion of the second-year maintenance and monitoring was achieved during the first quarter of 2020 and $77,833 of the escrow was refunded, leaving an escrow balance of approximately $78,000 as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, resolution of the regulatory matter required the Company to apply for an additional permit pertaining to an additional approximately 54.66 acres, which permit may require mitigation activities which the Company anticipates could be satisfied through the utilization of existing mitigation credits owned by the Company or the acquisition of mitigation credits. Resolution of this matter allowed the Company to obtain certain permits from the applicable federal or state regulatory agencies needed in connection with the closing of the land sale contract that gave rise to this matter. As of June 30, 2017, the Company determined that approximately 36 mitigation credits were required to be utilized, which represents approximately $298,000 in cost basis of the Company’s mitigation credits. Accordingly, the Company transferred the mitigation credits through a charge to direct cost of revenues of real estate operations during the three months ended June 30, 2017, thereby resolving the required mitigation activities related to the approximately 54.66 acres.

NOTE 22. BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA

The Company operates in four primary business segments: income properties, management services, commercial loan investments, and real estate operations. The management services segment consists of the revenue generated from managing PINE and the Land JV. The management services segment had no assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and therefore there are no related capital expenditures or depreciation and amortization for the periods presented. The real estate operations segment previously included land sales from the Daytona Beach land portfolio as well as revenue and expenses related to the sale of mitigation credits and subsurface operations. Upon the completion of the Land JV transaction in the fourth quarter of 2019, the real estate operations related to land sales have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and the real estate operations segment remaining consists of subsurface operations and mitigation credit sales. The identifiable assets and liabilities related to the discontinued real estate operations have been separately disclosed as discontinued real estate operations for the periods presented.

Our income property operations consist primarily of income-producing properties, and our business plan is focused on investing in additional income-producing properties. Our income property operations accounted for 81.3% and 66.0% of our identifiable assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and 87.0% and 97.5% of our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our management fee income consists of the management fees earned for the management of PINE and the Land JV. As of June 30, 2020, our commercial loan investment portfolio consisted of one fixed-rate first mortgage and the Ground Lease Loan. Our continuing real estate operations primarily consist of revenues generated from leasing and royalty income from our interests in subsurface oil, gas and mineral rights, and the sale of mitigation credits.

The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed separately because each segment requires different management techniques, knowledge, and skills.

NOTE 24. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company reviewed all subsequent events and transactions through August 7, 2020, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

COVID-19 Pandemic – July Collections Update

As of August 7, 2020, the Company has received July 2020 payments from tenants representing approximately 87% of the Contractual Base Rent due for the month of July 2020. With respect to unpaid Contractual Base Rent due for the month of July, approximately 6% was deferred and approximately 1% was abated pursuant to executed agreements between the Company and the tenants. The Company has not yet reached an agreement with respect to approximately 6% of the Contractual Base Rent due for the month of July 2020.

Income Property Dispositions

On July 23, 2020, the Company sold its Wawa ground lease located in Jacksonville, Florida, for a sales price of approximately $7.1 million, reflecting an exit cap rate of approximately 4.9%. The Company’s estimated gain on the sale is approximately $246,000, or $0.04 per share after tax.

On August 5, 2020, the Company sold its single-tenant income property leased to Carrabba’s Italian Grill located in Austin, Texas, for a sales price of approximately $2.5 million, reflecting an exit cap rate of approximately 6.4%. The Company’s estimated loss on the sale is approximately $94,000, or $(0.02) per share after tax.

Land JV Update

In July 2020, the Land JV completed five land sales totaling approximately 3,128 acres for approximately $41.8 million. Since its inception in October 2019 through August 6, 2020, the Land JV has sold approximately 3,545 acres, in 12 separate transactions, for approximately $64.1 million. The current pipeline of potential land sales includes eight purchase and sale agreements representing approximately $31 million of potential proceeds to the Land JV. The approximately 267 acres under contract represents approximately 15% of the total remaining land in the Land JV. As of July 28, 2020, the capital balance of the joint venture partner totals approximately $45 million.

Mitigation Bank JV – Put Right

In July 2020, BlackRock exercised its Put Right and put 19.745 mitigation credits to the Company, which the Company purchased for approximately $1.48 million, or approximately $75,000 per credit. The Company evaluated the impact of the exercised Put Right on the fair value of the Company’s investment in the Mitigation Bank JV noting no impairment. The Company evaluates its estimates of fair value on an ongoing basis; however, actual results may differ from those estimates.

There were no other reportable subsequent events or transactions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the documents that are incorporated by reference, that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Also, when the Company uses any of the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” or similar expressions, the Company is making forward-looking statements. Management believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon present expectations and reasonable assumptions. However, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.  The risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to, the following:  

we are subject to risks related to the ownership of commercial real estate that could affect the performance and value of our properties;
our business is dependent upon our tenants successfully operating their businesses, and their failure to do so could materially and adversely affect us;
competition that traditional retail tenants face from e-commerce retail sales, or the integration of brick and mortar stores with e-commerce retail operators, could adversely affect our business;
we operate in a highly competitive market for the acquisition of income properties and more established entities or other investors may be able to compete more effectively for acquisition opportunities than we can;
the loss of revenues from our income property portfolio or certain tenants would adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows;
our revenues include receipt of management fees and potentially incentive fees derived from our provision of management services to PINE and the loss or failure, or decline in the business or assets, of PINE could substantially reduce our revenues;
there are various potential conflicts of interest in our relationship with PINE, including our executive officers and/or directors who are also officers and/or directors of PINE, which could result in decisions that are not in the best interest of our stockholders;
a prolonged downturn in economic conditions could adversely impact our business, particularly with regard to our ability to maintain revenues from our income-producing assets and our ability to monetize parcels of land the Land JV;
a part of our investment strategy is focused on investing in commercial loan investments which may involve credit risk;
we may suffer losses when a borrower defaults on a loan and the value of the underlying collateral is less than the amount due;
the Company’s real estate investments are generally illiquid;
if we are not successful in utilizing the like-kind exchange structure in deploying the proceeds from dispositions of income properties, or our like-kind exchange transactions are disqualified, we could incur significant taxes and our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted;
the Company may be unable to obtain debt or equity capital on favorable terms, if at all, or additional borrowings may impact our liquidity or ability to monetize any assets securing such borrowings;
servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to service or pay our debt;
our operations and properties could be adversely affected in the event of natural disasters, pandemics, or other significant disruptions;
we may encounter environmental problems which require remediation or the incurrence of significant costs to resolve, which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows; and
An epidemic or pandemic (such as the outbreak and worldwide spread of COVID-19), and the measures that

international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address it, may precipitate or materially exacerbate one or more of the above-mentioned and/or other risks and may significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating its business in the ordinary course for an extended period.

Table of Contents

The Company describes the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially in “Risk Factors” (Part I, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K), “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” (Part I, Item 3 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” (Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In March 2020, the agency of the United Nations, responsible for international public health, declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”), which has spread throughout the United States. The spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic has continued to cause significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets and, in many industries, business activity was, for a time, virtually shut down entirely. There continues to be uncertainty around the duration and severity of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and international economies.

The actions taken by federal, state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, initially by ordering closures of non-essential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings, have resulted in some of our tenants temporarily closing their businesses, and for some, impacting their ability to pay rent.

The Company received second quarter payments from tenants representing approximately 81% of the Contractual Base Rent, defined as monthly base rent due pursuant to the original terms of  the respective lease agreements without giving effect to any deferrals or abatements subsequently entered into, due during the three months ended June 30, 2020. With respect to unpaid Contractual Base Rent due during the three months ended June 30, 2020 approximately 9% was deferred and approximately 4% was abated. In general, repayment of the deferred Contractual Base Rent will begin in the third quarter of 2020, with ratable payments continuing, in some cases, through the end of 2021. Certain of the deferral agreements are pending full execution of the lease amendment; however, both parties have indicated, in writing, their agreement to the repayment terms and in some instances, the tenant has already made the payments contemplated in the agreed-to lease amendment. In connection with the leases in which rent was abated, other lease modifications, including extended lease terms and imposition of percentage rent, were agreed to by the Company and the tenants. Depending upon the duration of tenant closures and the overall economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic, we may find deferred rents difficult to collect. The Company has not yet reached an agreement with respect to approximately 6% of the Contractual Base Rent due during the three months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 24, “Subsequent Events” for the Company’s disclosure related to July 2020 rent collections.

We have seen a positive uptick in our rent collections levels. While this is a positive trend driven by government mandated restrictions gradually being lifted, we are expecting that our rent collections will continue to be below our tenants’ Contractual Base Rent and historical levels, which will continue to adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Depending upon the duration of tenant closures, operating restrictions, and the overall economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic, we may find that even deferred rents are difficult to collect, and we may experience higher vacancies.

An assessment of the current or identifiable potential financial and operational impacts on the Company as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic are as follows:

The total borrowing capacity on the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), based on the assets currently in the borrowing base, is $200 million, and as such the Company has the ability to draw an additional $37.2 million on the Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, any property in the borrowing base with a tenant that is more than 60 days past due on its contractual rent obligations would be automatically removed from the borrowing base and the Company’s borrowing capacity would be reduced. For the tenants requesting rent relief with which the Company has reached an agreement, such deferral and/or abatement agreements for current rent, under the terms of the credit facility, would not be past due if it adheres to such modification, and thus those properties would not be required to be removed from the borrowing base.

As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the federal government and the state of Florida issued orders encouraging everyone to remain in their residence and not go into work. In response to these orders and in the best interest of our employees and directors, we have implemented significant preventative measures to ensure the health and safety of our employees and Board of Directors (the “Board”), including: (i) conducting all meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board telephonically or via a visual conferencing service, (ii) permitting the Company’s employees to work from home at their election, (iii) enforcing appropriate social distancing practices in the Company’s office, (iv) encouraging the Company’s employees to wash their hands often and use face masks, (v) providing hand sanitizer and other disinfectant products throughout the Company’s office, (vi) requiring employees who do not feel well in any capacity to stay at home, and (vii) requiring all third-party delivery services (e.g. mail, food delivery, etc.) to complete their service outside the front door of the Company’s office. The Company also offered COVID-19 testing to its employees to ensure a safe working environment. These preventative measures have not had any material adverse impact on the Company’s financial reporting systems, internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures. At this time, we have not laid off, furloughed, or terminated any employee in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Compensation Committee of the Board may reevaluate the performance goals and other aspects of the compensation arrangements of the Company’s executive officers later in 2020 as more information about the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic become known.

OVERVIEW

We are a diversified real estate operating company. We own and manage, sometimes utilizing third-party property management companies, thirty-one commercial real estate properties in twelve states in the United States. As of June 30, 2020, we owned twenty-five single-tenant and six multi-tenant income-producing properties with approximately 2.2 million square feet of gross leasable space. See Note 24, “Subsequent Events”, for information related to the single-tenant income properties sold subsequent to June 30, 2020.  

In addition to our income property portfolio, as of June 30, 2020, our business included the following:

Management Services:

A fee-based management business that is engaged in managing Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“PINE”) and the entity that held approximately 4,900 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida as of June 30, 2020 (the “Land JV”), see Note 5, “Related Party Management Services Business”. Currently, the Land JV holds approximately 1,800 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida due to the land sales from the Land JV as described in Note 24, “Subsequent Events”.

Commercial Loan Investments:

A portfolio of commercial loan investments, of which four were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Real Estate Operations:

A portfolio of mineral interests consisting of approximately 455,000 subsurface acres in 20 counties in the State of Florida and a portfolio of mitigation credits;

A retained interest in the Land JV which is seeking to sell approximately 1,800 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida; and

An interest in a joint venture (the “Mitigation Bank JV”) that owns an approximately 2,500 acre parcel of land in the western part of Daytona Beach, Florida which is engaged in the operation of a mitigation bank, which, pursuant to a mitigation plan approved by the applicable state and federal authorities, produces mitigation credits that are marketed and sold to developers of land in the Daytona Beach area for the purpose of enabling the developers to obtain certain regulatory permits.

49

Table of Contents

Our business also includes, as outlined above, the current value of our investment in PINE of approximately $33.2 million, or approximately 23.5% of the PINE’s outstanding equity, including the units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) we hold in Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which are exchangeable into common stock of PINE on a one-for-one basis, at PINE’s election. Our investment in PINE generates investment income through the dividends distributed by PINE. In addition to the dividends we receive from PINE, our investment in PINE may benefit from any appreciation in PINE’s stock price, although no assurances can be provided that such appreciation will occur, the amount by which our investment will increase in value, or the timing thereof. Any dividends received from PINE are included in Investment and Other Income (Loss) on the accompanying statement of operations.  

Discontinued Operations. The Company reports the historical financial position and results of operations of disposed businesses as discontinued operations when it has no continuing interest in the business. On October 16, 2019, the Company sold a controlling interest in its wholly owned subsidiary that held the approximately 5,300 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida. On October 17, 2019, the Company sold its interest in the LPGA golf operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company has reported the historical financial position and the results of operations related to the Land JV and the golf operations as discontinued operations (see Note 23, “Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”). The cash flows related to discontinued operations have been disclosed.

Income Property Operations. We have pursued a strategy of investing in income-producing properties, when possible by utilizing the proceeds from real estate transactions qualifying for income tax deferral through like-kind exchange treatment for tax purposes.

Our strategy for investing in income-producing properties is focused on factors including, but not limited to, long-term real estate fundamentals and target markets, including major markets or those markets experiencing significant economic growth. We employ a methodology for evaluating targeted investments in income-producing properties which includes an evaluation of: (i) the attributes of the real estate (e.g. location, market demographics, comparable properties in the market, etc.); (ii) an evaluation of the existing tenant(s) (e.g. credit-worthiness, property level sales, tenant rent levels compared to the market, etc.); (iii) other market-specific conditions (e.g. tenant industry, job and population growth in the market, local economy, etc.); and (iv) considerations relating to the Company’s business and strategy (e.g. strategic fit of the asset type, property management needs, alignment with the Company’s 1031 like-kind exchange structure, etc.).

We believe investment in each of these income-producing asset classes provides attractive opportunities for stable current cash flows and increased returns in the long run and the potential for capital appreciation. We currently expect a short term decrease in cash from operations as our tenants are impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and, while contractually obligated, some have not paid rent during July 2020. See Note 1, “Description of Business and Principles of Interim Statements” for the Company’s disclosure related to the potential cash flow impact as well as the accounting treatment of potential lease modifications associated with tenant rent relief requests due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. A prolonged imposition of mandated closures or other social-distancing guidelines as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic may adversely impact more our tenants’ ability to generate sufficient revenues, and could force additional tenants to default on their leases, or result in the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants, which would diminish the rental revenue we receive under our leases. The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact on our business.

2020 Acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company acquired two multi-tenant income properties for a purchase price of approximately $137.2 million, or an acquisition cost of approximately $137.7 million including capitalized acquisition costs. Of the total acquisition cost, approximately $46.7 million was allocated to land, approximately $74.0 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, approximately $18.8 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value, leasing fees, and above market lease value, and approximately $1.8 million was allocated to intangible liabilities for the below market lease value.

Our current portfolio of twenty-five (25) single-tenant income properties generates approximately $20.1 million of revenues from straight-line base lease payments on an annualized basis and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 13.7 years as of June 30, 2020. Our current portfolio of six (6) multi-tenant properties generates approximately $21.6 million of revenue from straight-line base lease payments on an annualized basis and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.0 years as of June 30, 2020.

We self-developed two single-tenant net lease restaurant properties on a 6-acre beachfront parcel in Daytona Beach, Florida. The development was completed in January of 2018 and rent commenced from both tenants pursuant to their separate leases. On a limited basis, we have acquired and may continue to selectively acquire other real estate, either vacant land or land with existing structures, that we would demolish and develop into additional income properties, possibly in the downtown and beachside areas of Daytona Beach, Florida. Through June 30, 2020, we invested approximately $5.6 million to acquire approximately 6.0 acres in downtown Daytona Beach that is located in an opportunity zone. Specifically, our investments in the Daytona Beach area would target opportunistic acquisitions of select catalyst sites, which are typically distressed, with an objective of having short investment horizons. Should we pursue such acquisitions, we may seek to partner with developers to develop these sites rather than self-develop the properties.

Our focus on acquiring income-producing investments includes a continual review of our existing income property portfolio to identify opportunities to recycle our capital through the sale of income properties based on, among other possible factors, the current or expected performance of the property and favorable market conditions. We sold one single-tenant income property and four multi-tenant income properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020. In part, as a result of entering the exclusivity and right of first offer agreement with PINE (the “Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement”) which generally prevents us from investing in single-tenant net lease income properties, our income property investment strategy will be focused primarily on multi-tenant retail and office properties. We may pursue this strategy, in part, by monetizing certain of our single-tenant properties, and should we do so, we would seek to utilize the 1031 like-kind exchange structure to preserve the tax-deferred gain on the original transaction(s) that pertains to the replacement asset.

Daytona Beach Development. During 2018, the Company acquired a 5-acre parcel of land with existing structures in downtown Daytona Beach, for a purchase price of approximately $2.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has also acquired other contiguous parcels totaling approximately 1-acre for approximately $2.1 million. Combined, these parcels represent the substantial portion of an entire city block in downtown Daytona Beach adjacent to International Speedway Boulevard, a major thoroughfare in Daytona Beach. We have engaged a national real estate brokerage firm to assist us in

identifying a developer or investor to acquire a portion or all of the property or to contribute into a potential joint venture to redevelop the property. We are pursuing entitlements for the potential redevelopment of these parcels, along with certain other adjacent land parcels, some of which we have under contract for purchase. As of June 30, 2020, we have incurred approximately $1.5 million in raze and entitlement costs related to these parcels.

Other Real Estate Assets. The Company owns mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $2.5 million as of June 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company owned mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $2.3 million. The increase in mitigation credit cost basis for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 is primarily the result of the 20 mitigation credits acquired from the Mitigation Bank, as defined in Note 7, “Investments in Joint Ventures”, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaling approximately $1.5 million, or approximately $75,000 per credit. The cost basis was reduced by the impact of approximately 16 mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $1.2 million that were provided at no cost to buyers. Additionally, the Company purchased 2 mitigation credits from the Mitigation Bank JV, for approximately $224,000. The aggregate cost of sales charge of  approximately $1.5 million, which is not expected to be a recurring charge, was included in direct costs of revenues of real estate operations during the six months ended June 30, 2020 in the consolidated statements of operations. Mitigation credit sales totaled approximately $4,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no mitigation credit sales during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Subsurface Interests. As of June 30, 2020, the Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interests underlying approximately 455,000 “surface” acres of land owned by others in 20 counties in Florida (the “Subsurface Interests”). The Company leases certain of the Subsurface Interests to mineral exploration firms for exploration. Our subsurface operations consist of revenue from the leasing of exploration rights and in some instances, additional revenues from royalties applicable to production from the leased acreage.

There were no subsurface sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Prior to September 2019, the Company leased certain of the Subsurface Interests to a mineral exploration organization for exploration. The lessee had previously exercised renewal options through the eighth year of the lease which ended on September 22, 2019. The Lessee elected not to renew the oil exploration lease beyond September 22, 2019.

Lease income generated by the annual lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the guaranteed lease term. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, lease income of approximately $201,000 was recognized, with no lease income recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company also received oil royalties from operating oil wells on 800 acres under a separate lease with a separate operator. Revenues received from oil royalties totaled approximately $20,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 with no revenues received during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues received from oil royalties totaled approximately $10,000 and $29,000, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company is not prohibited from selling any or all of its Subsurface Interests. The Company may release surface entry rights or other rights upon request of a surface owner for a negotiated release fee typically based on a percentage of the surface value. Should the Company complete a transaction to sell all or a portion of its Subsurface Interests or complete a release transaction, the Company may utilize the like-kind exchange structure in acquiring one or more replacement investments including income-producing properties.

Cash payments for the release of surface entry rights totaled approximately $67,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no releases of surface entry rights during the six months ended June 30, 2019.  

Real Estate Operations – Discontinued Operations

As of June 30, 2020, the Company continues to pursue land sales of the approximately 4,900 acres that formerly comprised its land holdings on behalf of the JV Partners in its role as Manager of the Land JV. See Note 24, “Subsequent Events”, for land sales from the Land JV subsequent to June 30, 2020. As a result of those land sales, the Land JV currently holds approximately 1,800 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Company’s retained interest in the Land JV represents a notional 33.5% stake in the venture, the value of which may be realized in the form of distributions based on the timing and the amount of proceeds achieved when the land is ultimately sold by the Land JV. As of June 30,

Table of Contents

2020, the Land JV has completed approximately $22.2 million in land sales since its inception in mid-October 2019 and currently has a pipeline of 8 purchase and sale agreements for potential land sale transactions representing approximately $31 million of potential proceeds to the Land JV. The roughly 267 acres under contract represents approximately 15% of the total remaining land in the Land JV.

The Company currently serves as the manager of the Land JV and is responsible for day-to-day operations at the direction of the JV Partners. All major decisions and certain other actions that can be taken by the Manager must be approved by the unanimous consent of the JV Partners (the “Unanimous Actions”). Unanimous Actions include such matters as the approval of pricing for all land parcels in the Land JV; approval of contracts for the sale of land that contain material revisions to the standard purchase contract of the Land JV; entry into any lease agreement affiliated with the Land JV;  entering into listing or brokerage agreements; approval and amendment of the Land JV’s operating budget; obtaining financing for the Land JV; admission of additional members; and dispositions of the Land JV’s real property for amounts less than market value. Pursuant to the Land JV’s operating agreement, the Land JV will pay the Manager a management fee in the initial amount of $20,000 per month, which amount will be reevaluated on a quarterly basis and reduced based on the value of real property that remains in the Land JV.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, a total of approximately 74 acres were sold for approximately $10.8 million.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased to approximately $13.0 million, compared to approximately $10.7 million during the same period in 2019. The increase in total revenue reflects the net impact of an increase in revenue from our income property operations of approximately $1.1 million, which is the result of an increase in revenue of approximately $5.5 million from recent acquisitions partially offset by a decrease relating to our recent dispositions of income properties, which totaled approximately $4.4 million. In addition, our revenues increased by approximately $782,000 from the revenue generated by our commercial loan portfolio due to five loan originations subsequent to the second quarter of 2019 and total revenues increased by approximately $695,000 in connection with the management fees we earned from PINE and the Land JV. These increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $254,000 in the revenue we generated from our real estate operations segment, which decrease is primarily related to the termination of the subsurface lease as described in Note 6, “Real Estate Operations”.

Our above results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, reflected the following significant operating elements, in addition to the impacts on revenues described above:

An increase in investment and other income (loss) of approximately $8.5 million primarily due to the increase in the closing stock price of PINE resulting in the unrealized, non-cash gain on the Company’s investment in PINE of approximately $8.1 million, or $1.30 per share, after tax;

An increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $947,000 which is primarily due to the increase in the Company’s income property portfolio;

A decrease in gain on disposition of assets totaling approximately $4.7 million attributable to second quarter 2020 gains totaling approximately $7.4 million on the disposition of four single-tenant and one multi-tenant income property, versus that of gains totaling approximately $11.8 million on the disposition of two multi-tenant income properties during the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in gain on disposition of assets was further impacted by the sale of four of the Company’s commercial loan investments, resulting in a second quarter loss of approximately $353,000, or approximately $0.06 per share, after tax; and

An increase in gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $505,000, or approximately $0.08 per share, after tax related to the repurchase of approximately $7.5 million aggregate amount of 2025 Notes at a discount totaling approximately $1.4 million.

INCOME PROPERTIES

Revenues and operating income from our income property operations totaled approximately $11.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to total revenue and operating income of approximately $10.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled approximately $2.6 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in revenues of approximately $1.1 million, or 11%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflects our expanded portfolio of income properties including increases of approximately $5.5 million due to recent acquisitions, offset by the decrease of approximately $4.4 million related to properties we sold during 2019. Revenue from our income properties during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 also includes approximately $444,000 and $623,000, respectively, in revenue from the net accretion of the above-market and below-market lease intangibles, of which a significant portion is attributable to Wells Fargo Raleigh. Our increased operating income from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues, offset by an increase of approximately $934,000 in our direct costs of revenues which was primarily comprised of approximately $1.5 million in increased operating expenses related to our recent acquisitions, offset by the reduction in operating expenses related to the

COMMERCIAL LOAN INVESTMENTS

Interest income from our commercial loan investments totaled approximately $835,000 and $53,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $5.3 million and $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The approximately $703,000 increase in recurring general and administrative expenses consists of an increase in legal and tax fees related to the Company’s potential REIT conversion of approximately $127,000 as well as approximately $317,000 of increased audit, tax, and legal fees primarily attributable to the significant transactions completed during the fourth quarter of 2019 including the Land JV and the asset portfolio sale to PINE.

GAINS (LOSSES) AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

2025 Note Repurchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes, representing a cash discount of approximately $2.6 million. The gain on the repurchase of approximately $1.1 million, net of the pro-rata share of the conversion value, is included in Gain on Extinguishment of Debt in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Commercial Loan Portfolio. In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company began marketing its commercial loan portfolio in advance of their upcoming maturities to further strengthen the Company’s liquidity. The Company received multiple bids including a bid offering a value that was at a discount to par. Additionally, the Company implemented the guidance regarding CECL effective January 1, 2020, which resulted in an allowance reserve of approximately $252,000. The CECL reserve combined with the impairment related to marketing the loan portfolio resulted in an aggregate impairment charge on the loan portfolio of approximately $1.9 million, or $0.30 per share, after tax during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold four of its commercial loan investments in two separate transactions generating aggregate proceeds of approximately $20.0 million and resulting in a second quarter loss of approximately $353,000, or approximately $0.06 per share, after tax. The total loss on the loan portfolio disposition, including the impairment and CECL reserve charges in the three months ended March 31, 2020, was approximately $2.1 million, or $0.33 per share, after tax.

2020 Dispositions. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company disposed of four single-tenant income properties, including three ground leases, and one multi-tenant income property, as described below:

INVESTMENT AND OTHER INCOME

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the closing stock price of PINE decreased by $2.77 per share, with a closing price of $16.26 on June 30, 2020.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was no activity related to discontinued operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, discontinued operations activity consisted of land operations and golf operations, which were sold during the fourth quarter of 2019.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense totaled approximately $5.9 million and $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease of approximately $100,000 is primarily attributable to decreased interest expense totaling  approximately $290,000 related to the lower outstanding balance on the 2025 Notes as well as the reduced rate, partially offset by increased interest expense totaling approximately $133,000 related to higher outstanding balances on the Credit Facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash totaled approximately $10.7 million at June 30, 2020. Restricted cash totaled approximately $29.7 million at June 30, 2020 of which approximately $27.5 million of cash is being held in multiple separate escrow accounts to be reinvested through the like-kind exchange structure into other income properties; $1.7 million is being held in a general tenant improvement reserve account with Wells Fargo in connection with our financing of the property located in Raleigh, NC leased to Wells Fargo (“Wells Fargo Raleigh”); approximately $286,000 is being held in a capital replacement reserve account in connection with our financing of six income properties with Wells Fargo Bank, NA (“Wells Fargo”); $100,000 is being held in an escrow account in connection with the sale of the Company’s ground lease located in Daytona Beach, FL, and approximately $78,000 is being held in an escrow account related to a separate land transaction which closed in February 2017.

Our total cash balance at June 30, 2020, reflected cash flows provided by our operating activities totaling approximately $9.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year’s cash flows provided by operating activities totaling approximately $13.3 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of approximately $3.6 million. The decrease of approximately $3.6 million primarily consists of the approximately $1.5 million of cash utilized in the first quarter of 2020 for the purchase of 20 mitigation credits put by the Mitigation Bank JV and a decrease of approximately $7.6 million of cash that was provided by discontinued operations, primarily land sales, during the first and second quarter of 2019, offset by the aggregate increase in management fee income and interest income from commercial loan investments of approximately $3.3 million. The net change in operating cash is also impacted by various other differences with regards to the timing of payments within other assets, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities.

Our cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $87.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to cash flows provided by investing activities of approximately $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of approximately $116.3 million. The decrease is primarily the result of an increase in cash outflows of approximately $97.0 million for income property acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, a decrease of cash inflows of approximately $39.9 million related to the additional proceeds received during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for three multi-tenant dispositions, primarily the sale of the 3600 Peterson property, as compared to dispositions during the six months ended June 30, 2020, offset by an increase of cash inflows totaling approximately $21.0 million related to the commercial loan investments sold during the second quarter of 2020.

Our cash flows used in financing activities totaled approximately $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $14.2 million. The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily related to the net draws on the Company’s Credit Facility totaling approximately $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net draws on the Credit Facility of approximately $31.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was partially offset by the cash outlay of approximately $9.9 million to repurchase approximately $12.5 million principal amount of the 2025 Notes, at a discount. Offsetting the impact of our net borrowings and 2025 Note repurchases were the use of funds of approximately $4.1 million for stock buybacks during the six months ended June 30, 2020, versus approximately $31.1 million of stock buybacks during the same period in 2019.

Effective March 31, 2020, utilized interest rate swap to achieve fixed interest rate of 0.7325% plus the applicable spread on $100 million of the outstanding principal balance.

(2)

Secured by the Company’s interest in six income properties. The mortgage loan carries a fixed rate of 4.33% per annum during the first ten years of the term, and requires payments of interest only during the first ten years of the loan. After the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan, the cash flows, as defined in the related loan agreement, generated by the underlying six income properties must be used to pay down the principal balance of the loan until paid off or until the loan matures. The loan is fully pre-payable after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan.

(3)Secured by the Company’s income property leased to Wells Fargo Raleigh. The mortgage loan has a 5-year term with two years interest only, and interest and a 25-year amortization for the balance of the term. The mortgage loan bears a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of 190 basis points. The interest rate for this mortgage loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 3.17%. The mortgage loan can be prepaid at any time subject to the termination of the interest rate swap. Amortization of the principal balance began in May 2018.

Credit Facility. The Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) serving as the administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, is unsecured with regard to our income property portfolio but is guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by BMO and also includes Wells Fargo and Branch Banking & Trust Company. On September 7, 2017, the Company executed the second amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility (the “2017 Amended Credit Facility”).

On May 24, 2019, the Company executed the Second Amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “Second Revolver Amendment”). As a result of the Second Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility has a total borrowing capacity of $200.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $300.0 million during the term, subject to lender approval. The Credit Facility provides the lenders with a security interest in the equity of the Company subsidiaries that own the properties included in the borrowing base. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 195 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company, as defined in the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, as amended by the Second Revolver Amendment. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity. Pursuant to the Second Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility matures on May 24, 2023, with the ability to extend the term for 1 year.

On November 26, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second 2019 Revolver Amendment”), which further amends the 2017 Amended Credit Facility. The Second 2019 Revolver Amendment included, among other things, an adjustment of certain financial maintenance covenants, including a temporary reduction of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to allow the Company to redeploy the proceeds received from the sale of certain income properties to PINE (the “PINE Income Property Sale Transactions”), and an increase in the maximum amount the Company may invest in stock and stock equivalents of real estate investment trusts to allow the Company to invest in the common stock and operating partnership units of PINE.

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2020 Revolver Amendment”) whereby the tangible net worth covenant was adjusted to be more reflective of market terms. The 2020 Revolver Amendment was effective as of March 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2020, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $200.0 million. The available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was approximately $37.2 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets. As of June 30, 2020, the Credit Facility had a $162.8 million balance outstanding. See Note 1, “Description of Business and Principles of Interim Statements” for a discussion of the potential impact on borrowing base assets due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The Credit Facility is subject to customary restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial maintenance covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum indebtedness ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative covenants and events of default including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change in control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Notes Payable. In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has certain other borrowings, as noted in the table above, all of which are non-recourse.

Convertible Debt. The Company’s $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Notes (the “2020 Notes”) were scheduled to mature on March 15, 2020; however, the Company completed the Note Exchanges, hereinafter defined, on February 4, 2020. The initial conversion rate was 14.5136 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $68.90 per share of common stock.

On February 4, 2020, the Company closed privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its outstanding 2020 Notes pursuant to which the Company issued approximately $57.4 million principal amount of 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in exchange for approximately $57.4 million principal amount of the 2020 Notes (the “Note Exchanges”).  In addition, the Company closed a privately negotiated purchase agreement with an investor, who had not invested in the 2020 Notes, and issued approximately $17.6 million principal amount of the 2025 Notes (the “New Notes Placement,” and together with the Note Exchanges, the “Convert Transactions”). The Company used approximately $5.9 million of the proceeds from the New Notes Placement to repurchase approximately $5.9 million of the 2020 Notes. As a result of the Convert Transactions there was a total of $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding.

In exchange for issuing the 2025 Notes pursuant to the Note Exchanges, the Company received and cancelled the exchanged 2020 Notes. The $11.7 million of net proceeds from the New Notes Placement were used to redeem at maturity on March 15, 2020 approximately $11.7 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes that remained outstanding.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at an approximate $2.6 million discount, resulting in a gain on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.1 million. Following the repurchase of the 2025 Notes during the first and second quarter of 2020, $62.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remains outstanding.  

The 2025 Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 15th and October 15th, commencing on April 15, 2020, at a rate of 3.875% per annum. The 2025 Notes mature on April 15, 2025 and may not be redeemed by the Company prior to the maturity date. The conversion rate for the 2025 Notes is initially 12.7910 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 of principal of the 2025 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $78.18 per share of the Company’s common stock). The initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes represents a premium of approximately 20% to the $65.15 closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American on January 29, 2020. If the Company’s Board of Directors increases the quarterly dividend above the $0.13 per share in place at issuance, the conversion rate is adjusted with each such increase in the quarterly dividend amount. After the second quarter 2020 dividend, the conversion rate is equal to 12.8551 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of approximately $77.79 per share of common stock. The 2025 Notes are convertible into cash, common stock or a combination thereof, subject to various conditions, at the Company’s option. Should certain corporate transactions or

64

Table of Contents

events occur prior to the stated maturity date, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2025 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction or event.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may not surrender their 2025 Notes for conversion prior to January 15, 2025 except upon the occurrence of certain conditions relating to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or specified corporate events including a change in control of the Company. The Company may not redeem the 2025 Notes prior to the stated maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are convertible, at the election of the Company, into solely cash, solely shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to settle the 2025 Notes in cash upon conversion, with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. In accordance with GAAP, the 2025 Notes were accounted for as a liability with a separate equity component recorded for the conversion option. A liability was recorded for the 2025 Notes on the issuance date at fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current market rates for debt instruments with similar terms. The difference between the initial proceeds from the 2025 Notes and the estimated fair value of the debt instruments resulted in a debt discount, with an offset recorded to additional paid-in capital representing the equity component. As of June 30, 2020, the unamortized debt discount of our Notes was approximately $6.8 million.

Acquisitions and Investments. As noted previously, the Company acquired two multi-tenant income properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $137.2 million. These acquisitions included the following:

The Company’s guidance for 2020 investments in income-producing properties totaled between $160 million and $210 million. We expect to fund such acquisitions utilizing cash on hand, primarily our $27.5 million in 1031 restricted cash, cash from operations, proceeds from the dispositions of income properties and potentially the sale of all or a portion of our Subsurface Interests, and borrowings, if available. We expect dispositions of income properties and subsurface interests will qualify under the like-kind exchange deferred-tax structure, and additional financing sources.

Dispositions. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company disposed of four single-tenant income properties, including three ground leases, and one multi-tenant income property. With the closing of these transactions, the Company has more than $27 million of restricted cash, which proceeds are expected to be re-invested as part of a future Section 1031 like-kind exchange.

The properties disposed of during the six months ended June 30, 2020 are described below:

Contractual Commitments. In connection with the acquisition of Perimeter Place in Atlanta, Georgia on February 21, 2020, the Company received approximately $460,000 of credits from the seller of the property for tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions for multiple tenants. Such credits have been included in accrued and other liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, payments totaling approximately $231,000 were made, leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $229,000.

In connection with the acquisition of the Crossroads Towne Center property in Chandler, Arizona on January 24, 2020, the Company received approximately $1.3 million of credits from the seller of the property for tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions for two tenants. Such credits have been included in accrued and other liabilities. No payments have been made during the six months ended June 30, 2020, accordingly, the remaining commitment is approximately $1.3 million.

Table of Contents

In connection with the acquisition of The Strand property located in Jacksonville, FL on December 9, 2019, the Company received a credit of approximately $450,000 for a tenant improvement allowance for one of the tenants of The Strand. Accordingly, this amount is included in accrued and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the improvements were completed by the tenant and the Company funded the $450,000.

Other Matters. In connection with a certain land sale contract to which the Company is a party, the purchaser’s pursuit of customary development entitlements gave rise to an inquiry by federal regulatory agencies regarding prior agricultural activities by the Company on such land. During the second quarter of 2015, we received a written information request regarding such activities. We submitted a written response to the information request along with supporting documentation. During the fourth quarter of 2015, based on discussions with the agency, a penalty related to this matter was deemed probable, and accordingly the estimated penalty of $187,500 was accrued as of December 31, 2015, for which payment was made during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2015, the agency advised the Company that the resolution to the inquiry would likely require the Company to incur costs associated with wetlands restoration relating to approximately 148.4 acres of the Company’s land. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s third-party environmental engineers estimated the cost for such restoration activities to range from approximately $1.7 million to approximately $1.9 million. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2015, the Company accrued an obligation of approximately $1.7 million, representing the low end of the estimated range of possible restoration costs, and included such estimated costs on the consolidated balance sheets as an increase in the basis of our land and development costs associated with those and benefitting surrounding acres. As of June 30, 2016, the final proposal from the Company’s third-party environmental engineer was received reflecting a total cost of approximately $2.0 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $300,000 was made during the second quarter of 2016. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company received a revised estimate for completion of the restoration work for which the adjusted final total cost was approximately $2.4 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $361,000 was recorded during the first quarter of 2019. The Company has funded approximately $2.3 million of the total $2.4 million of estimated costs through June 30, 2020, leaving a remaining accrual of approximately $57,000. The Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that the estimated remaining liability of approximately $57,000 could change within one year of the date of the consolidated financial statements, which in turn could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and future cash flows. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis; however, actual results may differ from those estimates.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale of approximately 1,581 acres of land to Minto Communities LLC which acreage represents a portion of the Company’s remaining $430,000 obligation. Accordingly, the Company deposited $423,000 of cash in escrow to secure performance on the obligation. The funds in escrow can be drawn upon completion of certain milestones including completion of restoration and annual required monitoring. The first such milestone was achieved during the fourth quarter of 2017 and $189,500 of the escrow was refunded. The second milestone related to the completion of the first-year maintenance and monitoring was achieved during the first quarter of 2019 and $77,833 of the escrow was refunded, leaving an escrow balance of approximately $156,000 as of December 31, 2019. The third milestone related to the completion of the second-year maintenance and monitoring was achieved during the first quarter of 2020 and $77,833 of the escrow was refunded, leaving an escrow balance of approximately $78,000 as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, resolution of the regulatory matter required the Company to apply for an additional permit pertaining to an additional approximately 54.66 acres, which permit may require mitigation activities which the Company anticipates could be satisfied through the utilization of existing mitigation credits owned by the Company or the acquisition of mitigation credits. Resolution of this matter allowed the Company to obtain certain permits from the applicable federal or state regulatory agencies needed in connection with the closing of the land sale contract that gave rise to this matter. As of June 30, 2017, the Company determined that approximately 36 mitigation credits were required to be utilized, which represents approximately $298,000 in cost basis of the Company’s mitigation credits. Accordingly, the Company transferred the mitigation credits through a charge to direct cost of revenues of real estate operations during the three months ended June 30, 2017, thereby resolving the required mitigation activities related to the approximately 54.66 acres.

As of June 30, 2020, we have no other contractual requirements to make capital expenditures.

We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, maintenance, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash on hand, cash flow from our operations and approximately $37.2 million of available capacity on the existing $200.0 million Credit Facility, based on our current borrowing base of income properties, as of June 30, 2020.

Our Board and management consistently review the allocation of capital with the goal of providing the best long-term return for our shareholders. These reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing the Company’s securities, and retaining funds for reinvestment. Annually, the Board reviews our business plan and corporate strategies, and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant. Management’s focus is to continue our strategy to diversify our portfolio by redeploying proceeds from like-kind exchange transactions and utilizing our Credit Facility to increase our portfolio of income-producing properties, providing stabilized cash flows with strong risk-adjusted returns primarily in larger metropolitan areas and growth markets.

We believe that we currently have a reasonable level of leverage. Our strategy is to utilize leverage, when appropriate and necessary, and proceeds from sales of income properties, the disposition or payoffs on our commercial loan investments, and certain transactions in our subsurface interests, to acquire income properties. We may also acquire or originate commercial loan investments, invest in securities of real estate companies, or make other shorter-term investments. Our targeted investment classes may include the following:

Multi-tenant office and retail properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets, typically stabilized;

Single-tenant retail and office, double or triple net leased, properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets that are compliant with our commitments under the Exclusivity and ROFO agreement;

Purchase or origination of ground leases, that are compliant with our commitments under the Exclusivity and ROFO agreement;

Self-developed properties on Company-owned land including select retail and office;

Joint venture development using Company-owned land;

Origination or purchase of commercial loan investments with loan terms of 1-10 years with strong risk-adjusted yields secured by property types to include hotel, office, retail, residential, land and industrial;

Select regional area investments using Company market knowledge and expertise to earn strong risk-adjusted yields; and

Real estate related investment securities, including commercial mortgage backed securities, preferred or common stock, and corporate bonds.

Our investments in income-producing properties are typically subject to long-term leases. For multi-tenant properties, each tenant typically pays its proportionate share of the aforementioned operating expenses of the property, although for such properties we typically incur additional costs for property management services. Single-tenant leases are typically in the form of triple or double net leases and ground leases. Triple-net leases generally require the tenant to pay property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and capital expenditures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there have been no material

changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The principal market risk (i.e. the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices), to which we are exposed is interest rate risk relating to our debt. We may utilize overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments as a means to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not believe that interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments, if any, is material due to the nature of the investments.

We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk relating to our own debt in connection with our Credit Facility, as this facility carries a variable rate of interest. Our borrowings on our $200.0 million revolving Credit Facility bear a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of between 135 basis points and 195 basis points based on our level of borrowing as a percentage of our total asset value. Effective March 31, 2020, the Company utilized an interest rate swap to achieve a fixed interest rate of 0.7325% plus the applicable spread on $100 million of the outstanding principal balance. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance on our Credit Facility was approximately $162.8 million. A hypothetical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e., 1%) would affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows by approximately $1.6 million. The $23.5 million mortgage loan which closed on April 15, 2016, bears a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of 190 basis points. The interest rate for this mortgage loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 3.17%. By virtue of fixing the variable rate, our exposure to changes in interest rates is minimal but for the impact on Other Comprehensive Income. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs.  

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of its business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

On November 21, 2011, the Company, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC, as owners of the property leased to Harris Teeter, Inc. (“Harris Teeter”) in Charlotte, North Carolina, were served with pleadings filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for a highway condemnation action involving this property. The proposed road modifications would impact access to the property. The Company does not believe the road modifications provided a basis for Harris Teeter to terminate the lease. Regardless, in January 2013, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (“NCDOT”) proposed to redesign the road modifications to keep the all access intersection open for ingress with no change to the planned limitation on egress to the right-in/right-out only. Additionally, NCDOT and the City of Charlotte proposed to build and maintain a new access road/point into the property. Construction has begun and is not expected to be completed until 2020. Harris Teeter has expressed satisfaction with the redesigned project and indicated that it will not attempt to terminate its lease if this project is built as currently

68

redesigned. Because the redesigned project will not be completed until 2020, the condemnation case has been placed in administrative closure. As a result, the trial and mediation will not likely be scheduled until requested by the parties, most likely in 2021.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As of June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). However, in light of the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have expanded certain of the risk factors disclosed in the Form 10-K and added a risk factor to provide additional specificity to the matters covered by such risk factors:

We are subject to risks related to the ownership of commercial real estate that could affect the performance and value of our properties. 

Factors beyond our control can affect the performance and value of our properties. Our core business is the ownership of commercial properties that generate lease revenue from either a single tenant in a stand-alone property or multiple tenants occupying a single structure or multiple structures. Accordingly, our performance is subject to risks incident to the ownership of commercial real estate, including:

inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy;
changes in local real estate conditions in the markets where our properties are located, including the availability and demand for the properties we own;
changes in consumer trends and preferences that affect the demand for products and services offered by our tenants;
adverse changes in national, regional and local economic conditions;
inability to lease or sell properties upon expiration or termination of existing leases;
environmental risks, including the presence of hazardous or toxic substances on our properties;
the subjectivity of real estate valuations and changes in such valuations over time;
illiquidity of real estate investments, which may limit our ability to modify our portfolio promptly in

response to changes in economic or other conditions;

zoning or other local regulatory restrictions, or other factors pertaining to the local government institutions

which inhibit interest in the markets in which our properties are located;

changes in interest rates and the availability of financing;
competition from other real estate companies similar to ours and competition for tenants, including

competition based on rental rates, age and location of properties and the quality of maintenance, insurance

and management services;

acts of God, including natural disasters and global pandemics which impact the United States, which may result in uninsured losses;
acts of war or terrorism, including consequences of terrorist attacks;
changes in tenant preferences that reduce the attractiveness and marketability of our properties to

tenants or cause decreases in market rental rates;

costs associated with the need to periodically repair, renovate or re-lease our properties;
increases in the cost of our operations, particularly maintenance, insurance or real estate taxes

which may occur even when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in our revenues;

changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related

costs of compliance with laws and regulations, fiscal policies and ordinances including in response to global pandemics whereby our tenants’ businesses are forced to close or remain open on a limited basis only; and

commodities prices.

The occurrence of any of the risks described above may cause the performance and value of our properties to decline, which could materially and adversely affect us.

69

Table of Contents

Our business is dependent upon our tenants successfully operating their businesses, and their failure to do so could materially and adversely affect us. 

Each of our properties is occupied by a single tenant or multiple tenants. Therefore, the success of our investments in these properties is materially dependent upon the performance of our tenants. The financial performance of any one of our tenants is dependent on the tenant’s individual business, its industry and, in many instances, the performance of a larger business network that the tenant may be affiliated with or operate under. The financial performance of any one of our tenants could be adversely affected by poor management, unfavorable economic conditions in general, changes in consumer trends and preferences that decrease demand for a tenant’s products or services or other factors, including the impact of a global pandemic which affects the United States, over which neither they nor we have control. Our portfolio includes properties leased to tenants that operate in multiple locations, which means we own multiple properties operated by the same tenant. To the extent we own multiple properties operated by one tenant, the general failure of that single tenant or a loss or significant decline in its business could materially and adversely affect us. 

At any given time, any tenant may experience a decline in its business that may weaken its operating results or the overall financial condition of individual properties or its business as a whole. Any such decline may result in our tenant failing to make rental payments when due, declining to extend a lease upon its expiration, delaying occupancy of our property or the commencement of the lease or becoming insolvent or declaring bankruptcy. We depend on our tenants to operate their businesses at the properties we own in a manner which generates revenues sufficient to allow them to meet their obligations to us, including their obligations to pay rent, maintain certain insurance coverage, pay real estate taxes, make repairs and otherwise maintain our properties. The ability of our tenants to fulfill their obligations under our leases may depend, in part, upon the overall profitability of their operations. Cash flow generated by certain tenant businesses may not be sufficient for a tenant to meet its obligations to us pursuant to the applicable lease. We could be materially and adversely affected if a tenant representing a significant portion of our operating results or a number of our tenants were unable to meet their obligations to us.

A significant portion of the revenue we generate from our income property portfolio is concentrated in specific industry classifications and/or geographic locations and any prolonged dislocation in those industries or downturn in those geographic areas  would adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows.

More than 20% of our base rent revenue during the year ended December 31, 2019 was generated from tenants in the financial services industry including Wells Fargo, Fidelity, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase; and
Approximately 24% and 10% of our base rent revenue during the year ended December 31, 2019 was generated from tenants located in Florida and North Carolina, respectively.

 

           Such geographic concentrations could be heightened by the fact that our investments may be concentrated in certain areas that are affected by COVID-19 more than other areas. Any financial hardship and/or economic downturns in the financial industry, including a downturn similar to the financial crisis in 2007 through 2009, or in the four states noted could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

The current COVID-19 Pandemic, and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our tenant’s business operations and as a result adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. 

Since late December 2019, the COVID-19 Pandemic has spread globally, including every state in the United States. The COVID-19 Pandemic has had, and other future pandemics could have, repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 Pandemic has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and produced significant volatility in the global financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel.

 

70

Table of Contents

Certain states and cities, including those in which we own properties, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter at home” rules, and importantly restrictions on the types of business that may continue to operate or requiring others to shut down completely. Additional states and cities may implement similar restrictions. As a result, the COVID-19 Pandemic is negatively impacting most every industry directly or indirectly. A number of our tenants have announced temporary closures of their stores and requested deferral, or in some instances, rent abatement while the pandemic remains. Many experts predict that the COVID-19 Pandemic will trigger, or even has already triggered, a period of global economic slowdown or possibly a global recession. The COVID-19 Pandemic, or a future pandemic, could have material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate our business and as a result our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action;
the reduced economic activity severely impacts our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;
the reduced economic activity could result in a recession, which could negatively impact consumer discretionary spending;
difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations on a timely basis;
a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our ability or desire to grow our portfolio of properties;
a deterioration in our or our tenants’ ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed for our or our tenants' efficient operations could adversely affect our operations and those of our tenants; and
the potential negative impact on the health of the Company’s personnel, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.

  

The extent to which the COVID-19 Pandemic impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, including the scope, severity and duration of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and the impact of actions taken by governmental and health organizations to contain the COVID-19 Pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic and containment measures, among others. Additional closures by our tenants of their businesses and early terminations by our tenants of their leases could reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to continue paying dividends to our shareholders at expected levels or at all. The rapid onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the continued uncertainty of its duration and long-term impact precludes any prediction of the magnitude of the adverse impact on the U.S. economy, our tenant’s businesses and ours. Consequently, the COVID-19 Pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business operations, and therefore our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Further, many risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including those disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Certain statements contained in this report (other than statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.

We wish to caution readers that the assumptions, which form the basis for forward-looking statements with respect to or that may impact earnings for the year-ended December 31, 2020, and thereafter, include many factors that are beyond the Company’s ability to control or estimate precisely. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the U.S. economy and real estate markets; the impact of a prolonged recession or downturn in economic conditions; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and income properties; the impact of environmental and land use regulations generally; extreme or severe weather conditions;

71

Table of Contents

the impact of competitive real estate activity; the loss of any major income property tenants;  and the availability of capital. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company.
