Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words or phrases “anticipate,” “estimate,” ”believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management’s current views with respect to financial results related to future events and are based on assumptions and expectations that may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual results, financial or otherwise, may differ, perhaps materially, from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors discussed in Item 1A of this Form 10-Q and other factors that might cause differences, some of which could be material, include, but are not limited to: the possibility that we may be unable to find appropriate reinvestment opportunities for the proceeds from the Sale Transaction; levels of construction activity in the markets served by our mining properties; demand for apartments in Washington D.C.: our ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development; the impact of lending and capital market conditions on our liquidity, our ability to finance projects or repay our debt; general real estate investment and development risks; vacancies in our properties; risks associated with developing and managing properties in partnership with others; competition; our ability to renew leases or re-lease spaces as leases expire; illiquidity of real estate investments; bankruptcy or defaults of tenants; the impact of restrictions imposed by our credit facility; the level and volatility of interest rates; environmental liabilities; inflation risks; cyber security risks; as well as other risks listed from time to time in our SEC filings, including but not limited to, our annual and quarterly reports. We have no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, other than as imposed by law, as a result of future events or new information. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof based on management’s current expectations, and the Company does not undertake an obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information regarding these and other risk factors may be found in the Company’s other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FRP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.

 

FRP Holdings, Inc. is a holding company engaged in the real estate business, namely (i) mining royalty land ownership and leasing, (ii) land acquisition, entitlement and development primarily for future warehouse/office or residential building construction, (iii) ownership, leasing, and management of a residential apartment building, and (iv) warehouse/office building ownership, leasing and management.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “FRP”) inclusive of our operating real estate subsidiaries, FRP Development Corp. (“Development”) and Florida Rock Properties, Inc. (”Properties”). Our investment in the Brooksville joint venture, BC FRP Realty joint venture, and RiverFront Holdings II joint venture are accounted for under the equity method of accounting (See Note 11).

 

Effective July 1, 2017 the Company consolidated the assets (at fair value), liabilities and operating results of our Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC partnership (“Dock 79”) which was previously accounted for under the equity method. The ownership of Dock 79 attributable to our partner MRP Realty is reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as a noncontrolling interest. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity but separately from shareholders' equity. On the Consolidated Statements of Income, all of the revenues and expenses from Dock 79 are reported in net income, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling interest. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest are clearly identified on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and 3 additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. This results in disposition of all of the Company’s industrial flex/office warehouse properties and as a result, these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Asset Management segment will contain the remaining three office buildings on a go forward basis.

 

These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required. Lessors will account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing accounting standards. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2019 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach and includes a number of practical expedients. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. As the Company is primarily a lessor the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

8 
 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which replaces existing revenue recognition standards and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. It may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date. Lease contracts with customers constitute a vast majority of our revenues and are a specific scope exception. The new standard was adopted beginning with the first quarter of 2018 in connection with our revenues not subject to leases and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

 

(3) Business Segments. The Company is reporting its financial performance based on four reportable segments, Asset Management, Mining Royalty Lands, Land Development and Construction and RiverFront on the Anacostia, as described below.

 

The Asset Management segment owns, leases and manages warehouse/office buildings located predominately in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington, DC market area. The flex/office warehouses in the Asset Management Segment were sold (with one remaining warehouse held for sale) and reclassified to discontinued operations leaving only three office buildings.

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (this does not include the 4,280 acres owned in our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials).  Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia. 

 

Through our Land Development and Construction segment, we own and are continuously monitoring for their “highest and best use” several parcels of land that are in various stages of development.  Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all of our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing new buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties.

 

In July 2017, Phase I (Dock 79) of the development known as RiverFront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C., a 300,000 square foot residential apartment building developed by a joint venture between the Company and MidAtlantic Realty Partners (“MRP”), reached stabilization, meaning 90% of the individual apartments have been leased and are occupied by third party tenants. Upon reaching stabilization, the Company had, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as to take into account the value of the development at the time of stabilization. The attainment of stabilization also resulted in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, beginning July 1, 2017, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture as a new segment called RiverFront on the Anacostia.

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and 3 additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. These properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(4) Related Party Transactions. The Company is a party to a Transition Services Agreement which resulted from our January 30, 2015 spin-off of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (Patriot). The Transition Services Agreement sets forth the terms on which Patriot will provide to FRP certain services that were shared prior to the Spin-off, including the services of certain shared executive officers. The boards of the respective companies amended and extended this agreement for one year effective October 1, 2018.

 

The consolidated statements of income reflect charges and/or allocation from Patriot for these services of $360,000 and $352,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $1,089,000 and $1,229,000 for the nine

10 
 

months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Included in the charges above are amounts recognized for corporate executive stock-based compensation expense. These charges are reflected as part of corporate expenses.

 

To determine these allocations between FRP and Patriot as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, we generally employed the same methodology historically used by the Company pre Spin-off to allocate said expenses and thus we believe that the allocations to FRP are a reasonable approximation of the costs related to FRP’s operations but any such related-party transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis as the terms were negotiated while Patriot was still a subsidiary of FRP.

 

(5) Long-Term Debt. Long-term debt is summarized as follows (in thousands):

 

    September 30,   December 31,
    2018   2017
5.6% to 8% mortgage notes                
  due in installments through 2027   —         29,664  
Riverfront permanent loan     88,755       88,653  
    88,755       118,317  
Less portion due within one year     —         4,463  
    $ 88,755       113,854  

 

On May 21, 2018 in conjunction with the sale of the warehouse business the Companies mortgages notes were prepaid and the credit line with First Tennessee Bank, N.A. was terminated. Prepayment penalties of $3,420,000 were paid.

 

On January 30, 2015, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement with Wells Fargo with a maximum facility amount of $20 million (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a $10 million sublimit available for standby letters of credit. As of September 30, 2018, there was no debt outstanding on the revolver, $1,930,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $18,070,000 available for borrowing. The letters of credit were issued to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real estate development. Most of the letters of credit are irrevocable for a period of one year and typically are automatically extended for additional one-year periods. The Revolver bears interest at a rate of 1.4% over the selected LIBOR, which may change quarterly based on the Company’s ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined which excludes FRP RiverFront. A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment. The commitment fee may also change quarterly based upon the ratio described above. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum $110 million tangible net worth. As of September 30, 2018, the tangible net worth covenant would have limited our ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock with borrowed funds to a maximum of $168 million combined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018.

 

Effective July 1, 2017 the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value), liabilities and operating results of our Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC partnership (“Dock 79”) which was previously accounted for under the equity method. As such the full amount of our construction loan and secondary financing were recorded in the consolidated financial statements and described below.

 

Effective August 7, 2014, Dock 79 obtained a commitment for a construction loan from a financial institution in the principal amount of $65,000,000 to fund certain development and construction costs of Dock 79. The interest rate on the loan through the initial maturity date was based on the 2.35% over one-month LIBOR. This loan was paid in full on November 17, 2017. Also effective August 7, 2014, Dock 79 partnership member EB5 Capital-Jobs Fund 8, L.P. (“EB5”) made an initial capital contribution of $17 million in cash into an escrow account with a financial institution all of which were used for construction. Associated with the $17 million cash contribution, EB5 was entitled to earn an investment return. The investment return required Dock 79 to pay interest monthly based on an annual rate of 4.95% for the first 5 years. Due to the mandatory redemption requirements associated with the EB5 financing arrangement, the related investment was classified as a liability on the balance sheets. EB5 was paid in full on November 17, 2017. Subsequent to the repayment of the investment return, EB5 is no longer a partner in Dock 79.

 

11 
 

On November 17, 2017, Dock 79’s construction loan and EB5 investment were refinanced by borrowing a principal sum of $90,000,000 pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Deed of Trust Note entered into with EagleBank ("Loan Documents"). The loan is secured by the Dock 79 real property and improvements, bears a fixed interest rate of 4.125% per annum and has a term of 120 months. During the first 48 months of the loan term, Dock 79 will make monthly payments of interest only, and thereafter, make monthly payments of principal and interest in equal installments based upon a 30-year amortization period. The loan is a non-recourse loan. However, all amounts due under the Loan Documents will become immediately due upon an event of default by Dock 79, such events including, without limitation, Dock 79's (i) failure to: pay, permit inspections or observe covenants under the Loan Documents, (ii) breach of representations made under the Loan Documents (iii) voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, and (iv) dissolution, or the dissolution of the guarantor. MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC, an affiliate of MRP, has executed a carve-out guaranty in connection with the loan.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 the Company capitalized interest costs of $243,000 and $210,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 the Company capitalized interest costs of $742,000 and $812,000, respectively.

 

(6) Earnings per Share. The following details the computations of the basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

  Three Months ended   Nine Months ended
  September 30,   September 30,
  2018   2017   2018   2017
Weighted average common shares

Basic earnings per common share:

 Diluted $ 0.22       2.52       12.24       2.84  

 

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, no shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 13,610 and 22,422 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

 

(7) Stock-Based Compensation Plans. The Company has two Stock Option Plans (the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2016 Equity Incentive Option Plan) under which options for shares of common stock were granted to directors, officers and key employees. The 2016 plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or stock awards. The options awarded under the plans have similar characteristics. All stock options are non-qualified and expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock based compensation awarded to directors, officers and employees are exercisable immediately or become exercisable in cumulative installments of 20% or 25% at the end of each year following the date of grant. When stock options are exercised the Company issues new

12 
 

shares after receipt of exercise proceeds and taxes due, if any, from the grantee. The number of common shares available for future issuance was 527,662 at September 30, 2018.

 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating fair value of stock compensation for options awarded to officers and employees. Each grant is evaluated based upon assumptions at the time of grant. The assumptions were no dividend yield, expected volatility between 32% and 43%, risk-free interest rate of .6% to 4.2% and expected life of 3.0 to 7.0 years.

 

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company does not pay cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is estimated based on the Company’s historical experience over a period equivalent to the expected life in years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate at the date of grant with a term consistent with the expected life of the options granted. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to exercise options by the employees.

 

As previously disclosed, Thompson S. Baker II resigned from his position as CEO and from the board of directors on March 13, 2017. In recognition of his outstanding service to the Company, the Board approved the vesting of all of Mr. Baker's outstanding FRP stock options, which expired 90 days following the termination of his employment. The vesting of Mr. Baker’s outstanding FRP options that were issued prior to the spin-off required Patriot to record modification stock compensation expense of $150,000. FRP reimbursed Patriot for this cost under the transition services agreement. The vesting of Mr. Baker’s outstanding FRP options that were issued subsequent to the spin-off required modified stock compensation expense of $41,000.

 

On May 21, 2018, under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan change-in-control clause, all unvested stock options held by the Company’s named executive officers became vested and fully exercisable. Included in stock compensation expense was $402,000 for the vesting of option grants from 2016 and 2017 due to the asset disposition.

 

The Company recorded the following stock compensation expense in its consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

    Three Months ended   Nine Months ended  
    September 30,   September 30,  
    2018   2017   2018   2017  
Stock option grants   $ 17       33       486       143  
Annual director stock award     —         —         683       445  
    $ 17       33       1,169       588  

 

A summary of changes in outstanding options is presented below (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

 

      Weighted   Weighted   Weighted

  September 30, 2018   28,129                     $ 454  
                                   

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable in-the-money options was $3,436,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of

13 
 

outstanding in-the-money options was $3,963,000 based on the market closing price of $62.10 on September 28, 2018 less exercise prices.

 

The unrecognized compensation cost of options granted to FRP employees but not yet vested as of September 30, 2018 was $97,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

 

Gains of $1,866,000 were realized by option holders during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Patriot realized the tax benefits of $646,000 of these gains because these options were exercised by Patriot employees for options granted prior to the spin-off.

 

(8) Contingent Liabilities. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage. The liability at any point in time depends upon the relative ages and amounts of the individual open claims. In the opinion of management, none of these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company executed a letter of intent with MRP in May 2016 to develop Phase II of the Riverfront on the Anacostia project and recorded an estimated environmental remediation expense of $2.0 million for the Company’s estimated liability under the proposed agreement. The Company substantially completed the remediation and reduced the estimated liability in the quarter ending September 30, 2018 by $465,000. The Company has no obligation to remediate any known contamination on Phases III and IV of the development until such time as it makes a commitment to commence construction on each phase.

 

 

(9) Concentrations.  The mining royalty lands segment has a total of four tenants currently leasing mining locations and one lessee that accounted for 17% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $284,000 of accounts receivable at September 30, 2018.  The termination of these lessees’ underlying leases could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with First Tennessee Bank and BB&T.  At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits.

 

 

(10) Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 means the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 means the use of values that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 means the use of inputs are those that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

During the quarter ending September 30, 2018 the Company invested in 78 corporate bonds with individual maturities ranging from 2020 through 2024. The unrealized loss on these bonds of $567,000 was recorded as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sources (Level 2). The amortized cost of the investments was $191,853,000 and the carrying amount and fair value of such bonds were $191,288,000 as of September 30, 2018.

 

At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit approximate their fair value based upon the short-term nature of these items.

 

The fair values of the Company’s other mortgage notes payable were estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At September 30, 2018, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $88,755,000 and $85,642,000, respectively. At December 31, 2017, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $118,317,000 and $122,271,000, respectively.

(11) Investments in Joint Ventures (Equity Method).

 

Brooksville. In 2006, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company to jointly own and develop approximately 4,300 acres of land near Brooksville, Florida. Under the terms of the joint venture, FRP contributed its fee interest in approximately 3,443 acres formerly leased to Vulcan under a long-term mining lease which had a net book value of $2,548,000. Vulcan is entitled to mine a portion of the property until 2032 and pay royalties to the Company. FRP also contributed $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of a 288-acre contiguous parcel. Vulcan contributed 553 acres that it owned as well as its leasehold interest in the 3,443 acres that it leased from FRP and $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of the 288-acre contiguous parcel. The joint venture is jointly controlled by Vulcan and FRP. Distributions will be made on a 50-50 basis except for royalties and depletion specifically allocated to the Company. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes a loss of $35,000 representing the Company’s portion of the loss of this joint venture.

 

BC FRP Realty (Windlass Run). During the quarter ending March 2016, we entered into an agreement with a Baltimore development company (St. John Properties, Inc.) to jointly develop the remaining lands of our Windlass Run Business Park. The 50/50 partnership initially calls for FRP to combine its 25 acres (valued at $7,500,000) with St. John Properties’ adjacent 10 acres fronting on a major state highway (valued at $3,239,536) which resulted in an initial cash distribution of $2,130,232 to FRP in May 2016. Thereafter, the venture will jointly develop the combined properties into a multi-building business park to consist of approximately 329,000 square feet of single story office space. On September 28, 2017 BC FRP Realty, LLC obtained $17,250,000 of construction financing commitments for 4 buildings through September 15, 2022 from BB&T at 2.5% over LIBOR. The balance outstanding on these loans at September 30, 2018 was $8,374,000.

 

RiverFront Holdings II, LLC. On May 4, 2018, the Company and MRP formed a Joint Venture to develop Phase II and closed on construction financing with Eagle Bank. The Company has contributed its land with an agreed value of $16.3 million (cost basis of $4.6 million) and $6.2 million of cash. MRP contributed capital of $5.6 million to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to the formation of the joint venture and a $725,000 development fee. The Company further agreed to fund $13.75 million preferred equity financing at 7.5% interest rate of which $690,000 was advanced through September 30, 2018. The loan from Eagle Bank allows draws of up to $71 million during construction at an interest rate of 3.25% over LIBOR. The loan is interest only and matures in 36 months with a 12-month extension assuming completion of construction and at least one occupancy. There is a provision for an additional 72 months extension with a 30-year amortization of principal at 2.15% over seven-year US Treasury Constant if NOI is sufficient for a 9% yield. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as MRP acts as the administrative agent of the joint venture and oversees and controls the day to day operations of the project.

(12) Consolidation of RiverFront Investment Partners I, LLC. On March 30, 2012 the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with MRP to form a joint venture to develop the first phase only of the four-phase master development known as RiverFront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the Joint Venture is to develop and own an approximately 300,000 square foot residential apartment building (including approximately 18,000 square feet of retail) on approximately 2 acres of the roughly 5.82-acre site. The joint venture, RiverFront Investment Partners I, LLC (“RiverFront I”) was formed in June 2013 as contemplated. The Company contributed land with an agreed to value of $13,500,000 (cost basis of $6,165,000) and contributed cash of $4,866,000 to the Joint Venture for a 77.14% stake in the venture. MRP contributed capital of $5,553,000 to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to formation of the joint venture. Construction commenced in October 2014, and first occupancy was in August 2016. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting as MRP acted as the administrative agent of the joint venture and oversaw and controlled the day to day operations of the project.

 

In July 2017, Phase I (Dock 79) reached stabilization, meaning 90% of the individual apartments had been leased and occupied by third party tenants. Upon reaching stabilization, the Company has, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as to take into account the contractual payouts assuming a sale at the value of the development at the time of this “Conversion election”.

 

The attainment of stabilization resulted in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, beginning July 1, 2017, the Company consolidated the assets (at fair value), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture. This consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of $60,196,000 of which $20,469,000 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. In accordance with the terms of the Joint Venture agreements, the Company used the fair value amount at date of conversion and calculated an adjusted ownership under the Conversion election. As such for financial reporting purposes effective July 1, 2017 the Company ownership is based upon this substantive profit sharing arrangement and is estimated at 66.0% on a prospective basis.

(13) Discontinued Operations.

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. These properties comprised substantially all the assets of our Asset Management segment and have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion includes a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to supplement the financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure discussed is net operating income (NOI). The Company uses this metric to analyze its continuing operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below in this quarterly report for a more detailed discussion, including reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

 

Overview - FRP Holdings, Inc. is a holding company engaged in the real estate business, namely (i) mining royalty land ownership and leasing, (ii) land acquisition, entitlement and development primarily for future warehouse/office or residential building construction, (iii) ownership, leasing, and management of a residential apartment building, and (iv) warehouse/office building ownership, leasing and management.

 

The Company’s operations are influenced by a number of external and internal factors. External factors include levels of economic and industrial activity in the United States and the Southeast, construction activity and costs, aggregates sales by lessees from the Company’s mining properties, interest rates, market conditions in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington DC area, and our ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development. Internal factors include administrative costs, success in leasing efforts and construction cost management.

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. These properties comprised substantially all the assets of our Asset Management segment and have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

Asset Management Segment.

 

The Asset Management segment owns, leases and manages warehouse/office buildings located predominately in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington, DC market area, although The Company disposed of all but one of its warehouse properties in May 2018.  We focus primarily on owning flexible type facilities that cater to the maximum number of tenant types. As most of our buildings are less than 150,000 square feet, we focus on local and regional vs. national tenants. Hands-on service provided by our in-house construction and property management teams keeps us close to our tenant base. These practices are the cornerstone of our mission to provide the highest quality product and services at competitive rates resulting in tenant satisfaction and ultimately, retention.

 

These assets create revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, lease management fees and reimbursements for building operating costs. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for operating expenses, real estate taxes, building repairs, lease commissions and other lease closing costs, construction of tenant improvements, capital to acquire existing operating buildings and closing costs related thereto and personnel costs of our property management team.

 

Management focuses on several factors to measure our success on a comparative basis in this segment. The major factors we focus on are (1) revenue growth, (2) net operating income, (3) growth in occupied square feet, (4) actual occupancy rate, (5) average annual occupied square feet, (6) average annual occupancy rate (defined as the occupied sf at the end of each month during a fiscal year divided by the number of months to date in that fiscal year as a percentage of the average number of square feet in the portfolio over that same time period), (7) growth of our portfolio (in square feet), and (8) tenant retention success rate (as a percentage of total square feet to be renewed).

 

Mining Royalty Lands Segment.

 

19 
 

Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (this does not include the 4,280 acres owned in our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials).  Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia.  The typical lease in this segment requires the tenant to pay us a royalty based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our property during a given fiscal year multiplied by a percentage of the average annual sales price per ton sold. As a result of this royalty payment structure, we do not bear the cost risks associated with the mining operations, however, we are subject to the cyclical nature of the construction markets in these States as both volumes and prices tend to fluctuate through those cycles. In certain locations, typically where the reserves on our property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a fixed annual rental amount. We believe strongly in the potential for future growth in construction in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia which would positively benefit our profitability in this segment.  Our mining properties had estimated remaining reserves of 540 million tons as of December 31, 2017 after a total of 6.3 million tons were consumed in fiscal 2017.

 

The major expenses in this segment are comprised of collection and accounting for royalties, management’s oversight of the mining leases, land entitlement for post-mining uses and property taxes at our non-leased locations and at our Grandin location which, unlike our other leased mining locations, are not paid by the tenant.  As such, our costs in this business are very low as a percentage of revenue, are relatively stable and are not affected by increases in production at our locations. Our current mining tenants include Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta and Cemex, among others.  

 

Additionally, these locations provide us with excellent opportunities for valuable “second lives” for these assets through proper land planning and entitlement.

Ft. Myers, FL 1,993 +/- Approval in place for 105, 1 acre, waterfront residential lots after mining completed.
Gulf Hammock, Fl 1,600 +/- Currently on the market
Total 7,873 +/-  

 

Land Development and Construction Segment.

 

Through our Land Development and Construction segment, we own and are continuously monitoring for their “highest and best use” several parcels of land that are in various stages of development.  Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all of our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing new warehouse/office buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties.

 

Revenues in this segment are generated predominately from land sales and interim property rents. The significant cash outlays incurred in this segment are for land acquisition costs, entitlement costs, property taxes, design and permitting, the personnel costs of our in-house management team and horizontal and vertical construction costs.

 

Since 1990, one of our primary strategies in this segment has been to acquire, entitle and ultimately develop commercial/industrial business parks providing 5–15 building pads which we typically convert into warehouse/office buildings. To date, our management team has converted 29 of these pads into developed buildings. Our typical practice has been to transfer these assets to the Asset Management segment on the earlier to occur of (i) commencement of rental revenue or (ii) issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We have also opportunistically sold several of these pad sites over time to third party “users”. 

 

The remaining pad sites in our inventory today are fully entitled, located in business parks in four different submarkets in the DC/Baltimore/Northern Virginia area, and can support an additional +/- 600,000 square feet of warehouse/office buildings.

Hollander 95 Business Park, MD 26 234,450 Horizontal development completed.
Total 58.5 586,500  

 

Having sites ready for vertical construction has rewarded us in the past.  It is the main reason why we were able to convert three of our finished pads at Patriot Business Park into build-to-suit opportunities in 2012, 2013 and 2014.  We completed construction on a 79,550 square foot spec building at Hollander Business Park that was put into service in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Also in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 we started construction on a 103,448-square-foot building in Patriot Business Center that was placed in service in 2017. Our final building at Patriot Business Park was under construction in 2017 and completed in the second quarter of 2018. In April 2016 we entered into a joint venture agreement to develop 12 office buildings on our remaining lots at Windlass Run and on adjacent frontage property owned by St. John Properties. During second quarter of fiscal 2018 we started construction on a 93,450 square foot spec building at Hollander Business Park. We will continue to actively monitor these submarkets where we have lots ready for construction and take advantage of the opportunities presented to us.

 

In addition to the inventory of finished building lots, we have several other properties that were either spun-off to us from Florida Rock Industries in 1986 or acquired by us from unrelated third-parties. These properties, as a result of our “highest and best use” studies, are being prepared for income generation through sale or joint venture with third parties, and in certain cases we are leasing these properties on an interim basis for an income stream while we wait for the development market to mature.

 

Our customary strategy when selling parcels outright is to attempt to convert the proceeds into income producing real estate for our Asset Management segment through a Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange. An example of this is the Windlass Run 179-acre tract purchased for $5.2 million in 2002. When purchased, the entire parcel was zoned for commercial/industrial uses. We successfully rezoned the 109 acres for medium density residential development and on April 17, 2013, we entered into a contract to sell the residential portion of the property for $19 million. The first phase of the Windlass Run residential land was sold for $8 million and the proceeds were used in a Section 1031 exchange to acquire our Transit Business Park in 2013. Phase 2 was sold in November 2015 for $11.1 million and we used $9.9 million of the proceeds to acquire the Port Capital Building.

 

An example of property in this segment being developed through joint venture is Phase I of our RiverFront on the Anacostia project which was contributed to a joint venture with MRP in 2014 and is now complete as a 305-unit apartment building including 18,000 square feet of ground floor retail.

RIVERFRONT ON THE ANACOSTIA PHASES III-IV: This property consists of 2.5 acres on the Anacostia River and is immediately adjacent to the Washington National’s baseball park in the SE Central Business District of Washington, DC. Once zoned for industrial use and under a ground lease, this property is no longer under lease and has been rezoned for the construction of approximately 860,000 square feet of “mixed-use” development in three phases. See “RiverFront on the Anacostia Segment” below for discussion on Phase I. Phases II, III and IV are slated for residential, office, and hotel/residential buildings, respectively, all with permitted first floor retail uses.

RiverFront Holdings II, LLC. On May 4, 2018, the Company and MRP formed a Joint Venture to develop Phase II and closed on construction financing with Eagle Bank. The Company has contributed its land with an agreed value of $16.3 million (cost basis of $4.6 million) and $6.2 million of cash. MRP contributed capital of $5.6 million to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to the formation of the joint venture and a $725,000 development fee. The Company further agreed to fund $13.75 million preferred equity financing at 7.5% interest rate of which $690,000 was advanced through September 30, 2018. The loan from Eagle Bank allows draws of up to $71 million during construction at an interest rate of 3.25% over LIBOR. The loan is interest only and matures in 36 months with a 12-month extension assuming completion of construction and at least one occupancy. There is a provision for an additional 72 months extension with a 30-year amortization of principal at 2.15% over seven-year US Treasury Constant if NOI is sufficient for a 9% yield. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as MRP acts as the administrative agent of the joint venture and oversees and controls the day to day operations of the project.

 

On August 24, 2015, in anticipation of commencing construction of the new Frederick Douglass bridge at a location immediately to the west of the existing bridge, the District of Columbia filed a Declaration of Taking for a total of 7,390 square feet of permanent easement and a 5,022 square foot temporary construction easement on land along the western boundary of the land that will ultimately hold Phase III and IV. Previously, the Company and the District had conceptually agreed to a land swap with no compensation that would have permitted the proposed new bridge, including construction easements, to be on property wholly owned by the District. As a result, the Planned Unit Development was designed and ultimately approved by the Zoning Commission as if the land swap would occur once the District was ready to move forward with the new bridge construction. In September 2016 the Company received $1,115,400 as settlement for the easement. The Company will continue to seek an agreement from the District that the existing bridge easement will terminate when the new bridge has been placed in service and the existing bridge has been removed. The Company’s position is that otherwise Phase IV will be adversely impacted and additional compensation or other relief will be due the Company.

 

HAMPSTEAD TRADE CENTER: We purchased this 118-acre tract in 2005 for $4.3 million in a Section 1031 exchange with plans of developing it as a commercial business park. The “great recession” caused us to reassess our plans for this property. As a result, Management has determined that the prudent course of action is to attempt to rezone the property for residential uses and sell the entire tract to another developer such that we can redeploy this capital into assets with more near-term income producing potential. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company received approval from the Town of Hampstead and has rezoned the property for residential use. The Town of Hampstead determined that there was a procedural error made during the rezoning process and expects to correct their error by year end in order to properly memorialize the residential zoning. We are fully engaged in the formal process of seeking PUD entitlements for this 118-acre tract.

 

SQUARE 664E, WASHINGTON, DC: This property sits on the Anacostia River at the base of South Capitol Street in an area named Buzzard Point, approximately 1 mile down river from our RiverFront on the Anacostia property. The Square 664E property consists of approximately 2 acres and is currently under lease to Vulcan Materials for use as a concrete batch plant. The lease terminates on August 31, 2021 and Vulcan has the option to renew for one additional period of five (5) years. In the quarter ending December 31, 2014, the District of Columbia announced that it had selected Buzzard Point for the future site of the new DC United major league soccer stadium. The selected stadium location is separated from our property by just one small industrial lot. In March 2017 reconstruction of the bulkhead was completed at a cost of $4 million in anticipation of future high-rise development.

In 2014, approximately 2.1 acres (Phase I) of the total 5.8 acres was contributed to a joint venture owned by the Company (77%) and our partner, MRP Realty (23%), and construction commenced in October 2014 on a 305-unit residential apartment building with approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of first floor retail space. Lease up commenced in May 2016 and rent stabilization of the residential units of 90% occupied was achieved in the third quarter of 2017. Upon reaching stabilization, the Company has, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as to take into account the contractual payouts assuming a sale at the value of the development at the time of this “Conversion election”.

 

The attainment of stabilization also results in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, beginning July 1, 2017, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value based on a third-party opinion), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture. This consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of $60,196,000 of which $20,469,000 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. The Company used the fair value amount to calculate adjusted ownership under the Conversion election. As such for financial reporting purposes effective July 1, 2017 the Company ownership is based upon this substantive profit sharing arrangement and is estimated at 66.0% on a prospective basis.

This first phase will comprise four single-story buildings totaling 100,000 square feet of office and retail space.
·We are the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Essexshire now known as “Hyde Park.” We have committed up to $9.2 million in exchange for an interest rate of 10% and a preferred return of 20% after which a “waterfall” determines the split of proceeds. This project will hold 125 town homes and 4 single family lots and is currently in the entitlement process.
·Last quarter, we began construction on a 94,350-square-foot spec building at Hollander Business Park. This Class “A” facility will be our first building with a 32-foot clear and should come on line in the second quarter of 2019.
·In April of this past quarter, we began construction on Phase II of our RiverFront on the Anacostia project, now known as “The Maren.” We expect to deliver the building in the first half of 2020.
·At the end of this quarter, the Company signed a Letter of Intent to enter into a joint venture agreement with MidAtlantic Realty Partners (MRP) for the development of the first phase of a multifamily, mixed-use development in northeast Washington, DC known as “Bryant Street.” FRP plans to contribute to the joint venture $35 million in common equity and another $20-25 million in preferred equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The growth of the Company’s businesses requires significant cash needs to acquire and develop land or operating buildings and to construct new buildings and tenant improvements. As of September 30, 2018, we had no debt borrowed under our $20 million Wells Fargo revolver, $1,930,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $18,070,000 available to borrow under the revolver. In November 2017, we secured $90 million in permanent financing for Dock 79 from EagleBank, the proceeds of which were used to pay off $79 million of construction and mezzanine debt. The remainder was distributed pari passu between the Company and our partners.

 

Cash Flows - The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for each of the periods presented (in thousands of dollars):

    Nine months  
    Ended September 30,  
    2018   2017  
Total cash provided by (used for):            
Operating activities $ (41,660   15,321  
Investing activities   101,850     (10,920 )
Financing activities   (29,932   (1,771 )
Increase in cash and cash equivalents $ 30,258     2,630  
             
 Outstanding debt at the beginning of the period $ 118,317     40,745  
 Outstanding debt at the end of the period $ 88,755     115,113  

 

 

Operating Activities – For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used for operating activities increased to $41,660,000 versus cash provided by operating activities of $15,321,000 in the same period last year. Net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations was $46,642,000 primarily due to income tax payments on the taxable gains on the sale of buildings. Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was lower primarily due to environmental remediation payments related to Phase II of RiverFront construction.

 

Investing Activities - For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash provided by investing activities increased to $101,850,000 versus cash used in investing activities of $10,920,000 in the same period last year due primarily to the proceeds on the sale of the buildings offset by the investments in available for sale investments. During the quarter ending September 30, 2018 the Company invested in 78 corporate bonds with individual maturities ranging from 2020 through 2024. The unrealized loss on these bonds of $567,000 was recorded as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sources. The carrying amount and fair value of such bonds were $191,288,000 as of September 30, 2018.

 

Financing Activities – For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash required by financing activities was $29,932,000 versus $1,771,000 in the same period last year primarily due to the payoff of mortgage loans related to the buildings sold.

 

Credit Facilities - On January 30, 2015, in connection with the Spin-off, the Company terminated its $55 million credit facility entered with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in 2012 and simultaneously entered into a new five-year credit agreement with Wells Fargo with a maximum facility amount of $20 million (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a $10 million sublimit available for standby letters of credit. As of September 30, 2018, there was no debt outstanding on the revolver and $1,930,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $18,070,000 available for borrowing. The letters of credit were issued to guarantee certain obligations to

30 
 

state agencies related to real estate development. Most of the letters of credit are irrevocable for a period of one year and typically are automatically extended for additional one-year periods. The Revolver bears interest at a rate of 1.4% over the selected LIBOR, which may change quarterly based on the Company’s ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined. A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment. The commitment fee may also change quarterly based upon the ratio described above. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum $110 million tangible net worth. As of September 30, 2018, the tangible net worth covenant would have limited our ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock with borrowed funds to a maximum of $168 million combined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018.

 

On November 17, 2017, Riverfront Holdings I, LLC (the "Joint Venture") refinanced the Dock 79 project pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Deed of Trust Note entered into with EagleBank ("Loan Documents"). The Joint Venture, which was formed between FRP Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and MRP in 2014 in connection with the development of the Riverfront on the Anacostia property, borrowed a principal sum of $90,000,000 in connection with the refinancing. The loan is secured by the Dock 79 real property and improvements, bears a fixed interest rate of 4.125% per annum and has a term of 120 months. During the first 48 months of the loan term, the Joint Venture will make monthly payments of interest only, and thereafter, make monthly payments of principal and interest in equal installments based upon a 30-year amortization period. The loan is a non-recourse loan to the Company. However, all amounts due under the Loan Documents will become immediately due upon an event of default by the Joint Venture, such events including, without limitation, Joint Venture's (i) failure to: pay, permit inspections or observe covenants under the Loan Documents, (ii) breach of representations made under the Loan Documents (iii) voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, and (iv) dissolution, or the dissolution of the guarantor. MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC, an affiliate of MRP, has executed a carve-out guaranty in connection with the loan.

 

Cash Requirements – The Board of Directors has authorized Management to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time as opportunities arise. As of September 30, 2018, $4,883,000 was authorized for future repurchases of common stock. The Company does not currently pay any cash dividends on common stock.

 

The Company currently expects its 2018 capital expenditures to include approximately $10,156,000 for real estate development and acquisitions, of which $7,585,000 has been expended to date, which will be funded from either cash and investments on hand, cash generated from operations and property sales, or borrowings under our credit facilities.

 

Summary and Outlook. In light of all that happened last quarter, the last three months were bound to be quiet by comparison. They were not, however, uneventful. The proximity of Dock 79 to the site of baseball’s midsummer classic and its surrounding festivities generated tremendous business for our restaurant tenants. It also directly exposed the building to thousands of potential new tenants, as well as the more than eight million people who tuned in to see the game. Mining royalty revenue is up for the third straight quarter and more impressive is the fact that this is the most revenue this segment has generated through the first nine months of any year ever. Perhaps most interestingly, as mentioned above, we have a Letter of Intent with MRP for the first phase of a development in northeast DC along the Metro. The development is in what is known as an “Opportunity Zone” and will defer and possibly reduce a significant tax liability for the Company. This will represent a very serious investment into what we and our partners believe is the ground floor of the next great area for development in our nation’s capital. Finally, we are trying to remain good stewards of your proceeds from last quarter’s asset sale. We have laddered out the bonds we purchased to a maximum of only two years in order to preserve liquidity and mitigate the opportunity cost of rising interest rates. More importantly, we are searching for ways that make sense to put your money to work—which is to say in investments where we feel we can add value or where there is still room to grow. That means partnering with people like MRP to find the next great neighborhood in DC or developing raw land in and around the Mid-Atlantic. It also means remaining patient until markets and asset prices cool off a bit. At the risk of repeating ourselves, it does us no good to sell at the top of the market if only to turn around and reinvest at the same peak. Again, we will not wait forever to return these proceeds to you whether in the form of new investments or as a dividend. However, we will be disciplined, and we will be patient before we make any decision regarding this money. It is too good an opportunity to squander.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Interest Rate Risk - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our variable-rate borrowings under a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo.

 

Under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for borrowings at September 30, 2018 was 1.4%. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be increased in the event that our debt to capitalization ratio as calculated under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement Facility exceeds a target level.

 

The Company did not have any variable rate debt at September 30, 2018, so a sensitivity analysis was not performed to determine the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

 

All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO, CFO and CAO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in periodic SEC filings.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter 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

 

In April 2018, The Gill Corporation (“Gill”), a tenant of the Company, purportedly exercise its right of first refusal to purchase a warehouse property located in Harford County, Maryland, for a purchase price of $11.7 million. This warehouse property was scheduled to be sold to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate in the transaction that closed in June 2018. Gill has declined to close on the purchase pursuant to the right of first refusal, contending that the Company has an obligation to replace the roof at an estimated cost of $664,900. Gill has subsequently sued the Company to enforce the right of first refusal and to require the Company to pay the cost of replacing the roof or, in the alternative, for damages. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the action.
