NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(unaudited)

 

Note 1

Background:

 

Gadsden Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), formerly FC Global Realty Incorporated (“FC Global”), re-incorporated in Nevada on December 30, 2010, originally formed in Delaware in 1980, is, since earlier in 2017, a real estate development and asset management company concentrated primarily on investments in high quality income producing assets, residential developments and other opportunistic commercial properties.

 

On March 13, 2019, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Gadsden Growth Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Gadsden”), pursuant to which Gadsden agreed to transfer and assign to the Company all of its general partnership interests and Class A limited partnership interests in Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“OPCO”), the operating partnership of Gadsden that holds all of its assets and liabilities, in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock and newly designated 7% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “7% Series A Preferred Stock”), newly designated Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock”) and newly designated 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “10% Series C Preferred Stock”) that is equal to the number of shares of Gadsden’s 7% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively.

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that certain shares (the “Holdback Shares”) of the Company’s common stock issuable to Gadsden would be subject to forfeiture based on the reconciliation and adjustment of the future net asset value of the sum of: (i) Gadsden’s assets as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement and (ii) Gadsden's proposed real estate investments that had not closed as of the date of the closing date of Stock Purchase Agreement (together the “Transaction Assets").  On or before April 15, 2021, the Company will recalculate the net asset value of the Transaction Assets that have been acquired by Gadsden or the Company on or prior to May 15, 2019, as at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2020, with the year of determination being at the option of Gadsden. On April 5, 2019 and May 2, 2019, the Company and Gadsden entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) and Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Stock Purchase Agreement, respectively to amend certain provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement as agreed upon by the parties. The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, as amended, was completed April 5, 2019. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse capitalization as described in Note 3.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $30,775 and the Company incurred a loss attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $3,625. Additionally, the OID notes became due on June 30, 2019, which are currently in default and remain outstanding. These matters and other matters including the cash position of the Company raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the periods presented, the operations of the Company have been funded primarily through the issuance of notes payable and private placements of equity securities. The Company will attempt to secure additional equity or debt financing until such time as its operations are self-sufficient. The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Company’s ability to conduct business. If the Company is not able to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may have to significantly delay the purchase of income producing assets which is the Company’s core business strategy. The Company does not have sufficient cash for the next 12 months of operations without raising additional capital.

 

Management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty

 

Related Party

The Company is a party to several transactions with related parties. Members of the Company's board of directors and its management hold stock and options in the Company, and several members of its board of directors hold OID Notes (see Note 6) with Gadsden Growth Properties, Inc., the Company's majority shareholder. Additionally, the Company is the parent and owner of a number of subsidiaries, some of which are active and hold the Company's real estate and other assets, and some of which are inactive and were involved in the Company’s former lines of business. The Company has in the past been a guarantor for certain activities and contracts involving one or more of these subsidiaries. 

 

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the compensation plan for service on the board for non-employee members; Mr. Hartman, as Chief Executive Officer, will not receive fees for his service on the Board. Each board member will receive $50.0 in compensation, payable at a quarterly rate of $12.5. The chairmen of the Board committees will receive additional payments; the chairman of the Audit Committee will receive an additional $10.0, or $2.5 per quarter; and the chairmen of the Compensation Committee and Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee will each receive an additional $5.0, or $1.25 per quarter. The Board also voted to receive its fees for the first year of service in the form of the Company’s stock, with the strike price being set at $0.25 per share, the trading price at the time of approval. The usual restrictions on trading in stock by company insiders would apply to these grants. These fees are accrued in other accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Accounting Principles

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in its Annual Report on Form 8-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed on July 3, 2019 and the FC Global Realty Incorporated 10 -K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed on April 1, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to interim financial statements. As permitted under those rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally required or included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are considered necessary to present fairly the results of the Company’s financial position and operating results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the consolidated financial statements of Gadsden Growth Properties, Inc. as filed in the 8K on July 3, 2019.

 

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other interim period in the future.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Entities in which the Company directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, and for which other interest holders do not possess the right to affect significant management decisions, are generally accounted for under the voting interest consolidation method of accounting. Participation of other interest holders in the net assets and in the earnings or losses of a consolidated subsidiary is reflected in the line items “Non-controlling Interest” in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and “net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest” in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-controlling interest adjusts the Company’s consolidated results of operations to reflect only the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the consolidated subsidiary.

 

Any changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary, through additional equity issuances by the consolidated subsidiary or from the Company acquiring the shares from existing shareholders, in which the Company maintains control is recognized as an equity transaction, with appropriate adjustments to both the Company’s additional paid-in capital and the corresponding non-controlling interest.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. As part of these financial statements, the more significant estimates include (1) identification of and measurement of instruments in equity transactions; (2) impairment of investment properties and assets and liabilities held for sale; (3) evaluation of going concern; and (4) contingencies.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest consists of Series B OPCO Units that were issued as part of the Mission Hills acquisition; and Series B OPCO Units that were issued as a deposit on the Carson City property. As part of the reverse capitalization (see Note 3), the Company assumed an investment property in California (the “Highway 59” property) in which the Company has a 75% ownership and a net asset value of $279 which is recorded in held for sale assets. See Note 5 - held for sale assets. See Note 8 – Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) for terms for non-controlling interest or OPCO and see Note 9 – Non-controlling interest.

 

Revenue recognition

As part of the reverse recapitalization, the Company acquired a 7,738 square-foot medical office building in Dayton, Ohio for a $326 purchase price, paid in cash consideration. The building’s former owner, and its only current tenant, a medical practice, has entered into a lease with the Company to continue its occupancy through April 2022, with the option to renew that lease for two additional five-year terms. The Company is accounting for the arrangement as an operating lease under ASC 842, “Leases” by recording rental revenues from operating leases, as a lessor, on a straight-line basis under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Certain properties have leases that provide for tenant occupancy during periods where no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the term of the lease. Accordingly, receivables from tenants that the Company expects to collect over the remaining lease term are recorded on the balance sheet as straight-line rent receivables.

In 2018, the Company derived revenue from temporary consulting services for certain property management and accounting services which is presented in other income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as this is not the primary source of revenue expected from operations. Consulting income is recorded in the period in which the services are rendered. Consulting income is recorded net of any applicable taxes collected and remitted to governmental agencies.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair values given their short-term nature. At June 30, 2019, the carrying value of all outstanding notes payable and OID notes payable approximates the estimated aggregate fair value given their short-term nature.

Real Estate Under Development

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a real estate project are capitalized as real estate under development. In addition, interest, real estate taxes and other expenses that are directly associated with the Company’s development activities are capitalized until the property is placed in service. Interest expense is capitalized using the Company’s weighted average interest rate. Internal direct costs are capitalized to projects in which qualifying expenditures are being incurred. Capitalized real estate costs totaled $112,954 as of June 30, 2019.

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

All of the Company’s long-lived assets are monitored for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If there is an indication of impairment the Company will use the undiscounted cashflows to determine if the assets needs to be impaired.

 

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

The Company generally considers assets to be “held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by its Board of Trustees, or by officers vested with authority to approve the transaction, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale of the property within one year of the consideration date and the consummation of the transaction is otherwise considered probable. When a property is designated as held for sale, the Company stops depreciating the property and estimates the property’s fair value, net of selling costs. If the determination is made that the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, is less than the net carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recognized, reducing the net carrying value of the property to estimated fair value less selling costs. For periods in which a property is classified as held for sale, the Company classifies the assets and liabilities, as applicable, of the property as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheet for such periods. Several of the investment properties held for sale were either sold or are in escrow at purchase prices lower than the value recorded. Thus, the Company recorded total asset impairments of $318 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. With the historical change in ownership, the Company is subject to certain NOL limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, net of the weighted average number of treasury shares (if any). Securities that may participate in dividends with the common stock (such as the Convertible Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock and Convertible Series C Preferred Stock) are considered in the computation of basic loss per share using the two-class method. However, in periods of net loss, participating securities are included only if the holders of such securities have a contractual obligation to share the losses of the Company.

 

Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation for a period in which a net loss is reported or if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company’s potential common shares consist of stock warrants and restricted stock awards issued under the Company’s stock incentive plans and their potential dilutive effect is considered using the treasury method, and of Convertible Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock and Convertible Series C Preferred Stock which their potential dilutive effect is considered using the “if-converted method”.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Commencing January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) “Leases”, which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC Topic 840, “Leases”. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued amendments in ASU 2018-11, which provide a transition election to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. This transition election permits entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, or retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The guidance was adopted in the first interim period in 2019 and had no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this Update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. Adoption is prospectively applied to any business development transaction. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed the recent accounting pronouncements and determined there are no current pronouncements that will significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 3

Reverse Capitalization:

 

On March 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Gadsden, pursuant to which Gadsden agreed to transfer and assign to the Company all of its general partnership interests and Class A limited partnership interests in OPCO, the operating partnership of Gadsden that holds all of its assets and liabilities, in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock and 7% Series A Preferred Stock, Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 10% Series C Preferred Stock that is equal to the number of shares of Gadsden’s 7% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively. Upon an effective S-4 filing, Gadsden will exchange and push down shares to its shareholders effectively completing the merger.

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that certain shares (“the Holdback Shares”) of the Company’s common stock issuable to Gadsden would be subject to forfeiture based on the reconciliation and adjustment of the future net asset value of the Transaction Assets. On or before April 15, 2021, the Company will recalculate the net value of the Transaction Assets that have been acquired by Gadsden or the Company on or prior to May 15, 2019, as at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2020, with the year of determination being at the option of Gadsden.

 

On April 5, 2019, the Company and Gadsden entered into Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend certain provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, were completed the same day.

 

On May 2, 2019, the parties entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”), to (i) decrease the number of shares of common stock and Holdback Shares issued to Gadsden, and increase the number of shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock issued, as the result of an error in the original calculation of the shares to be issued; (ii) provide for the issuance of the Holdback Shares on the closing date, rather than the Charter Amendment Date; and (iii) provide for the issuance of certain of the shares of the Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 10% Series C Preferred Stock to FHDC Group, LLC, or FHDC, a stockholder of Gadsden, in exchange for the equivalent number of shares of Gadsden held by it.

 

On July 1, 2019, the parties entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 3), to clarify that the Company assumed all accrued liabilities of Gadsden and agreed to pay and discharge those accrued liabilities as well as any future liabilities of Gadsden through the date that Gadsden is merged with and into the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and Gadsden transferred to the Company all of Gadsden’s right, title and interest, legal or equitable, to all of its assets other than the securities of the Company held by Gadsden.

 

As a result of Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, the final number of shares of the Company’s stock issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, to Gadsden and its stockholders were: (i) 331,033,280 shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) 110,477,220 Holdback Shares; (iii) 889,075 shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) 3,000,000 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock; (iv) 2,498,682 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock.

 

On October 11, 2019, the Company cancelled 105,946,701 shares of common stock issued to Gadsden with an effective date of June 30, 2019. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the 105,946,701 shares of common stock were characterized as “Holdback Shares” and were issued to Gadsden contingent upon the contribution by Gadsden of additional properties to the Company. The last date for any contribution was May 20, 2019. No additional contributions were made, and therefore the shares were cancelled.

 

If the estimated net asset value of Gadsden pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Contract NAV”) is more than the Gadsden final net asset value as recalculated by the Company on or before April 15, 2021, then the difference, or the Shortfall, will be settled by the transfer of shares of the Company’s common stock, at a value equal to 3.771023733 shares of common stock for each $1.00 of Shortfall. If the Gadsden final net asset value is $80 million or less, the shortfall will be settled by the transfer of shares of the Company’s common stock, at a value equal to 2.860407207 for each $1.00 of Shortfall.

 

Based on the accounting rules as applied to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, OPCO is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. Management has concluded the Stock Purchase Agreement is an asset acquisition and not a business combination. The Company is not acquiring employees, processes or outputs, other than a negligible amount of revenue. Management is in the process of disposing of all of the historical FC Global assets and liabilities and these assets and liabilities are classified as “held for sale” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. One small single-tenant building that is not classified as “held for sale” is currently being considered for disposal by the Company’s management. Accordingly, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, and therefore, the financial statements of OPCO will be treated as the historical financial statements of the Company, with the results of the entities defined as Pre-merged of the Company being included only from April 6, 2019 and thereafter.

 

As stated above, OPCO is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. As a result, the net assets acquired from the Company on April 5, 2019 including working capital, a small single-tenant building, land held for development, and a passive noncontrolling interest in an entity that owns undeveloped land were exchanged for: (i) all of the Class A limited partnership interests in OPCO, and all of the general partnership interests in OPCO, which is the operating partnership of Gadsden and (ii) OPCO’s assets and liabilities. The initial measurement of the assets acquired from FC Global will be the fair value of the Company’s OPCO Units, on the closing date, or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. In this case, management determined the fair value of the assets acquired from FC Global the more reliable measurement.

T9 Property Acquisition and Subsequent Foreclosure 

On July 10, 2018, the Company acquired all the interests in T9, a debtor in bankruptcy, which through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns a property, the T9 Property, which is a 65-acre, mixed-use, transit-oriented master planned community. Gadsden purchased the limited liability company interests in T9 for an enterprise value of approximately $88,000, less the senior mortgage debt at the closing of approximately $55,587. The purchase price for the T9 LLC Interests was $32,413, which was paid by the issuance of (i) $8,407 in value of Gadsden Series A Preferred Stock (336,284 shares); (ii) $18,146 in value of Gadsden Series B Preferred Stock (1,814,573 shares); and (ii) $5,860 in value of Gadsden common stock (586,004 shares). Gadsden Series B Preferred Stock was subsequently reduced by $15,693 (1,569,308 shares) reflecting final closing adjustments as allowed for in the purchase and sale agreement and an additional $1,325 (132,500 shares) due to a share exchange to Series A preferred. There was a DIP (“debtor in possession”) financing facility of $10,000 in the bankruptcy case, of which $2,000 was assumed and an additional $3,000 was drawn through December 28, 2018. The interest on such DIP financing was 10% per annum, compounded annually. 

On September 30, 2018 the Company recognized an impairment of the value on the T9 Property adjusting it to its fair value. The impairment adjusted the value of the asset downward by $15,593 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The planned sale of the T9 Property under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code was unsuccessful. Multiple bids were received that did not meet the minimum bid requirements under court sale procedures. Accordingly, per the terms of the T9 Stipulation, the Secured Creditor in the Bankruptcy Case foreclosed on the T9 Property on December 28, 2018 as result of the Trustee Sale of the T9 Property.

Commitments and Contingencies:

 

Litigation

Suneet Singal

On September 21, 2018, Suneet Singal, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer filed a suit against the Company and its transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions Inc., in the Supreme Court of New York for the County of New York. The suit alleges breach of contract, breach of good faith and, with regard to Broadridge, a violation of UCC Article 8-401, and demands the issuance and release to Mr. Singal of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as other unspecified damages.

 

On December 18, 2018, the Company filed a counterclaim regarding several matters undertaken by Mr. Singal while he served in leadership roles with the Company. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the suit.

 

On October 14, 2019, the Company was notified that the Court had dismissed Mr. Singal’s suit, with prejudice.

 

Fremont Litigation

On October 18, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) commenced a civil action (the “Civil Action”) against Jean Danhong Chen, Tony Jianyun Ye, Kai Hao Robinson, Kuansheng Chen, the Law offices of Jean D. Chen, A Professional Corporation, Tree Lined Holdings, LLC, and Golden State Regional Center, LLC all unrelated to the Company.

 

The defendants are accused of several unlawful activities. The complaint also alleges that the named defendants used Fremont, the property acquired by the Company in 2019, during 2014 - 2016 for their unlawful activities giving rise to the complaint.

 

Neither the Company, Gadsden, nor any of their respective subsidiaries are named as defendants in the Civil Action, and no legal claim has been asserted in the Civil Action against the Mission Hills Square property or Fremont. Additionally, FDHC (“the Seller”) is also not a defendant in the Civil Action. None of the defendants in the Civil Action are directors, officers, or affiliates of the Company, or any owner of 5% or more of the Company’s voting securities or, based upon current knowledge, any associate of any director, officer or affiliate of the Company. Although the individual defendants in the Civil Action are alleged by the SEC to have used Fremont in connection with the actions described in the Civil Action, there are no claims in the Civil Action that Gadsden, Fremont, or the Seller participated in the actions described since they acquired Fremont in 2018.

 

On March 7, 2019, Jean Danhong Chen and Tony Jianyun Ye were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for Visa Fraud, Obstruction of Justice, Identity and Aggravated Identity Theft and Criminal Forfeiture. This indictment was unsealed on March 25, 2019. On March 25, 2019 Gadsden was informed it was a subject of a criminal investigation by the US Department of Justice.

In the acquisition of Fremont by Gadsden from the Seller, Gadsden escrowed part of the purchase consideration, in the form of Gadsden securities, that was issued to the Seller, which had at that time an estimated value of approximately $55,000. The Civil Action alleges that at least $40,000 was loaned by Bay Area Investment Fund I to Fremont. This loan has been assumed by the Seller, is currently being paid by the Seller and is not in default. Gadsden has not reserved any amounts in its financial statements and may use the escrowed securities for any undisclosed liabilities, including any liabilities related to the Civil Action. Gadsden is not able to determine if there is any liability of Fremont in the Civil Action, of Gadsden in the criminal investigation, or related matters, or if any such liability will be in excess of the escrowed amount. Gadsden believes that, if there is any liability to the Company, it is not in excess of the escrowed amount, and intends to vigorously defend itself against any such allegations if made, although such defenses can be expensive and there can be no guarantee that such defenses will be successful.

 

Nevertheless, as described above, Gadsden agreed to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from all losses of Gadsden or any of its subsidiaries arising from or related to the Civil Action, the facts described therein and all civil or other actions arising from or related to such Civil Action.

 

Gadsden does not believe that there will be any negative consequences to its ownership of Mission Hills as a result of this action, and therefore cannot at this time make any provision for any contingency in this matter. Nevertheless, the Company will continue to monitor this matter and intends to defend its rights in this matter to the fullest extent possible.

 

DSKX litigation

On February 16, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into two Merger Agreements (the “Merger Agreements”) with DS Healthcare Group, Inc. (“DSKX”). Those mergers failed to occur and the Company alleged that the failure was due to certain actions by DSKX, and that as a result of those actions the Company was entitled to certain break-up fees under the terms of the Merger Agreements. DSKX disputed those claims and asserted its own claims against the Company. On June 23, 2017, the Company and DSKX entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve that litigation, under which DSKX agreed to make certain payments to the Company, including a minimum payment of at least $800 within ten business days of the resolution of DSKX’s legal malpractice lawsuit against Fox Rothschild, LLP. The Fox Rothschild lawsuit was resolved on April 26, 2019, yet DSKX did not make any payments to the Company. Therefore, on June 24, 2019, the Company served a summons and Complaint for breach of contract on DSKX seeking payment by DSKX of the amounts owed under that settlement agreement.

 

On September 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) with DSKX, under which DSKX will pay to the Company the original settlement sum of $800 plus applicable interest of 6% per annum. The Agreement took effect upon the Company’s receipt of an initial payment of $80 from DSKX on September 13, 2019. Under the Agreement, DSKX will pay the remainder of the original settlement amount to the Company over a period of not more than 48 months, with an option to prepay. In exchange, the Company received a security interest in DSKX’s future accounts receivable and it dismissed its current suit against DSKX, although the Florida state court in which that suit was filed will retain jurisdiction over the settlement arrangement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, if DSKX fails to make payments, the settlement amount may be accelerated and becomes immediately payable. Each party agreed to a mutual release of claims against the other and paid its own legal fees and costs in connection with the Agreement. The receivable was fully reserved as of June 30, 2019.

 

Other litigation

The Company and certain subsidiaries are, have been and may be, involved in other miscellaneous litigation and legal actions, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which can arise from time to time in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. The Company believes that these other litigation and claims will likely be resolved without a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation and legal actions are inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts can result in such situations. Although the Company believes it has or will have substantial defenses in these matters, it may, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in a particular period.

Purchase Contracts

On December 4, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement for the acquisition of a 14.75-acre land parcel located in Carson City, Nevada (the “Carson City Property”) which the Company intends to net lease under a build to suit strategy. The purchase price for this property is $5,500 as adjusted for customary apportionments. The purchase price is payable by a new first mortgage loan of $2,300 with the remaining $3,200 being paid by the Company’s operating partnership issuing Series B OPCO Units that are valued at $10.00 per unit (or share of the Company’s common stock). The Company had a closing deadline of June 30, 2019 which was extended to July 31, 2019. On January 16, 2019, the Company provided a non-refundable deposit of $55 in the form of Series B OPCO Units. Due to not closing or extending the purchase agreement, the Company wrote-off this non-refundable deposit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and is included in the results on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Commitments

On June 4, 2018, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with The Pigman Companies, LLC, as the administrative agent, and investors under such agreement (the “Secured Bridge Loan Agreement”). From such date to September 30, 2018, we raised approximately $1,855 of secured loans (the “Bridge Loans”) that were due September 30, 2018. The Bridge Loans are the direct obligations of OPCO and fully guaranteed by the Company. The Company pledged all its assets as security under the Secured Bridge Loan Agreement. The Bridge Loans incur interest at 10% per annum, determined based on a 360-day year, and provide an additional 5% per annum during the period that the Bridge Loans are in default. The interest on the Bridge Loans is payable on the maturity date. Common shares will be issued for the bridge loan equity bonus fee 30 days after the date the Company is listed on a public exchange (after the registration statement becomes effective) and will be equal to the principal balance of the bridge loan on October 31, 2018. On October 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of principal and interest of $1,936 was paid. As principal and interest was paid in full, the equity bonus fee is the only remaining obligation and will be recorded on the Company’s financial statements 30 days after an approved registration statement is effective and will be paid in common stock of the Company in the amount of $1,855. On April 15, 2019, Kris Pigman was nominated and accepted a position as a board director of the Company.

 

Employment and Severance Commitments

Under their employment agreements, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) are entitled an annual base compensation of $350, $250, $250 and $175, respectively for a three year term after which the employment agreements will automatically renew for successive one year terms. Upon filing of an effective registration statement and merger completion, the CEO, COO, CFO and CAO are entitled to a bonus of $250, $150, $125 and $25, respectively.

 

With respect to any separation of employment, (i) if the executive is terminated without “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) or resigns for “good reason” (as defined in the employment agreement), then, in addition to the amount of base salary earned and benefits accrued as of such separation date, the executive will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 100% for the CAO, 150% for the COO and CFO and 299% for the CEO of his annual base salary payable within 30 days of the termination of his employment, and (ii) if the executive is terminated for cause or resigns without good reason, then he will be entitled to receive the amount of any base salary earned and benefits accrued as of the date of such separation and the Company will have no further obligation to the executive. In addition, if, within six months of a “change of control” (as defined in the employment agreement), the executive is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, then, in addition to the amount of base salary earned and benefits accrued as of such separation date, the executive will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 150% for the COO and CFO, 200% for the CAO and 299% for the CEO of his annual base salary payable within 30 days of the termination of his employment.

In lieu of paying the Series A Accrued Dividends in cash, at the option of the Company, the Company may pay Series A Accrued Dividends in shares of common stock (the “Series A Dividend Shares”). In the event the Company so elects, the total Series A Dividend Shares issuable shall be equal to the total amount of Series A Accrued Dividends which the Company has elected to pay in shares of common stock divided by a price per share equal to the VWAP (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) per share of common stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the Series A Dividend Payment Date, rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock. So long as any shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, unless the Series A Accrued Dividends have been paid in full:

 

  no dividends shall be authorized and declared or paid or set apart for payment on any series or class or classes of Series A Parity Securities for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been declared and paid or are contemporaneously declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the 7% Series A Preferred Stock for all prior dividend periods; and
     
 

no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid solely in Series A Junior Securities of, or in options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase, Series A Junior Securities) shall be authorized and declared or paid or set apart for payment or other distribution authorized and declared or made upon Series A Junior Securities, nor shall any Series A Parity Securities or Series A Junior Securities be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of common stock made for purposes of and in compliance with requirements of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary and other than for a Permitted Redemption (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) by the Company, directly or indirectly (except by conversion into or exchange for Series A Junior Securities).

Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation), the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid a liquidation preference out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Series A Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, but pari passu with the holders of shares of Series A Parity Securities on a pro rata basis in an amount per share equal to the Series A Original Issue Price, plus any Series A Accrued Dividends. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
   
Voting. The holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class and by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Requisite Holders”), shall be entitled to appoint one (1) observer to the Company’s board of directors and elect one (1) director; provided that upon an Event of Default, the holders, by the vote or written consent of the Series A Requisite Holders, shall be entitled to appoint two (2) directors as long as such Event of Default is continuing. Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentence may be removed without cause by, and only by, the Series A Requisite Holders. A vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock shall be filled only by vote or written consent of the Series A Requisite Holders or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing no individual shall be permitted to serve on the board of directors or be an observer to the board of directors if he or she or any of his or her affiliates would cause the Company to be disqualified to use Section 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section 506(d) thereunder or if any such individual or affiliate is subject to a legal proceeding by any governmental or regulatory authority with respect to the events described in such section. At any time commencing on any Series A Dividend Payment Date on which the Company pays Series A Accrued Dividends with Series A Dividend Shares through the subsequent Series A Dividend Payment Date on which the Company pays Series A Accrued Dividends in cash, for all matters other than such matters where holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock have a separate vote as a single class, each holder shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such holder’s shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock could be converted and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock (except as otherwise expressly provided in the Series A Certificate of Designation or as required by law, voting together with the common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis) and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Series A Certificate of Designation, the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any other voting rights.

  alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the 7% Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series A Certificate of Designation;
     
  amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock;
     
  redeem any shares of preferred stock or common stock (other than pursuant to employee or consultant agreements giving the Company the right to repurchase shares at the original cost thereof upon the termination of services and provided that such repurchase is approved by the board of directors);
     
  enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing;
     
  enter into any agreement, amend or modify any existing agreement or obligation, or issue any security that prohibits, conflicts or is inconsistent with, or would be breached by, the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Series A Certificate of Designation.

Unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders, any or all of the outstanding shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at a price per share equal to the Series A Original Issue Price, plus Series A Accrued Dividends through and including the date of such redemption. The Company must send written notice of the redemption to each holder of record of 7% Series A Preferred Stock not less than forty (40) days prior to each redemption date. Any shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.
   
  Redemption (holder’s option). In the event that the Corporation’s Common Stock is not listed or admitted for trading on any Trading Market on or prior December 31, 2019, then the Requisite Holders shall, upon notice of election thereof, be entitled to require the Corporation to redeem its shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall redeem such Holder’s shares, by paying out of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, prior to the holders of Junior Stock, an amount for each redeemed share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Price of $25 per share. As a result of this redemption feature the security has been classified as temporary equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
   
Conversion. From and after the date that is twenty-one (21) consecutive trading days after the date that common stock is listed or admitted for trading on any trading market (which includes OTC markets), holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, at their option, and subject to the conversion limitations set forth below, may, at any time and from time to time, convert some or all of their outstanding shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate. The “Series A Conversion Rate” means the number of shares of common stock equal to (x) the Series A Original Issue Price divided by (y) the VWAP per share of common stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the applicable conversion date. VWAP is defined, generally, under the Series A Certificate of Designation as the volume weighted average price for common stock on the applicable trading market (which includes OTC markets), or if the common stock is not so listed and admitted for trading, then other cases, the fair value of a share of common stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by a holder of the 7% Series A Preferred Stock and reasonably acceptable to the Company, or the value as agreed by the Series A Requisite Holders and the Company, in each case, subject to the VWAP Minimum Price. The “VWAP Minimum Price” is defined as the following amounts on the following dates or periods: (i) from the first Series A Original Issue Date to the date that is the earlier of (a) nine months after the Series A Original Issue Date or (b) 90 days after the date that the shares of common stock are listed for trading on any national exchange (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange or any market of NASDAQ), the VWAP Minimum Price shall be equal to the Net Asset Value (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) per share as of the Series A Original Issue Date; and (ii) from and after the foregoing date, the VWAP Minimum Price shall be equal to $0.0499 (which amount shall be automatically adjusted to share splits, combinations, reclassifications and similar events).
   
Mergers and Business Combinations. In the event of any recapitalization, reclassification or change of common stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination); a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company; a sale, conveyance or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets (other than to one or more of its subsidiaries); or a statutory share exchange (each, a “Business Combination”), which in each case, in each case, as a result of which holders of common stock are entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for common stock, a holder of 7% Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereafter to convert such shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) which the holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such business combination as if such holder held a number of shares of common stock equal to the Series A Conversion Rate in effect on the effective date for such business combination, multiplied by the number of shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. In the event that holders of common stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Business Combination, the Company shall make adequate provision whereby the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock shall have a reasonable opportunity to determine the form of consideration into which all of the shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, treated as a single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of such Business Combination. Such determination shall be based on the weighted average of elections made by the holders who participate in such determination, shall be subject to any limitations to which all holders of common stock are subject, such as pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in such Business Combination, and shall be conducted in such a manner as to be completed by the date which is the earliest of (1) the deadline for elections to be made by holders of common stock and (2) two business days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Business Combination.

Dividends. The Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock will participate fully with respect to all distributions and dividends made to the holders of the common stock and each holder of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock shall receive the same dividend or distribution as if such shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock were converted to shares of common stock immediately prior to the applicable record date for such common stock dividend or distribution, and the record date for the shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock for any such dividend or distribution shall be the same as the applicable record date for the common stock.

Pursuant to the Series C Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 11,000,000 shares of its preferred stock as 10% Series C Preferred Stock.

In May of 2019, 2,000,000 of the outstanding Gadsden 10% Series C Preferred Stock were exchanged for the Company’s 10% Series C Preferred Stock and therefore are convertible at the option of the stockholder. VWAP is defined, generally, under the Series C Certificate of Designation as the volume weighted average price for common stock on the applicable trading market (which includes OTC markets), or if the common stock is not so listed and admitted for trading, then other cases, the fair value of a share of common stock as determined in good faith by the board of directors; provided that if the common stock is not listed or quoted on a trading market, then the VWAP is subject to a minimum price per share of $0.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, conversion of the 10% Series C Preferred Stock is subject to the following conversion limitations.

  The Company shall not affect any conversion, and a holder shall not have the right to convert shares of its 10% Series C Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion thereof, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is equal to 4.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such holder and no other holder of shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock. The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of common stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company, subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Note 9

Non-Controlling Interest:

 

On January 16, 2019, the Company provided a non-refundable deposit of $55 in the form of Series B OPCO Units relating to the Carson City land purchase agreement. See Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies above for additional details.

 

As part of the Mission Hills acquisition described in Note 4 Asset Acquisitions, the Company issued 2,500,000 Series B OPCO Units in Gadsden’s operating partnership, which were recorded at the fair value of the transaction amount totaling $11,451.

 

On January 14, 2019, the Company sold 1,000 Series A Preferred Units of Gadsden Roseville, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or Gadsden Roseville, for a purchase price of $350,000, in accordance with an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Roseville, or the LLC Agreement, entered into among Gadsden Roseville, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gadsden, or Gadsden Investments, and FC Global. As these Series A Preferred Units are in a wholly owned subsidiary, it was recorded as non-controlling interest.

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement closed on April 5, 2019. As part of the Gadsden Transaction, Gadsden Growth Properties transferred and assigned all of its general partnership interests and Series A preferred limited partnership interests holding the Roseville property to FC Global thus eliminating the non-controlling interest.

 

Series B OPCO Units are convertible into common shares on 1 for 1 basis after 1 year of being issued.

 

As part of the reverse capitalization (see Note 3), the Company assumed an investment property in California (the “Highway 59” property) in which the Company has a 75% ownership and a net asset value of $279. As part of the reverse recapitalization, $232 of non-controlling interest was recorded of which $129 relates to the Highway 59 non-controlling interest offset by $361 that relates to the Gadsden Roseville LLC non-controlling interest eliminated as part of the recapitalization.

 

Note 10

Income Taxes:

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent; eliminating the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; and changing limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which the related temporary difference becomes deductible. The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s income tax returns are recognized in the consolidated financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained. As of June 30, 2019, an amount of $1,610 related to corporate international unrecognized tax benefits is included in other accrued liabilities.

 

Taxes which may apply in the event of a disposal of investments in subsidiaries have not been included in computing the deferred taxes, as the Company anticipates it would liquidate those subsidiaries that can be closed on a tax-free basis.

 

The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States, both in the Federal jurisdiction and in various State jurisdictions. The Company is subject to Federal income tax examination for calendar years 2015 through 2018 and is also generally subject to various State income tax examinations for calendar years 2015 through 2018. Photo Therapeutics Limited files in the United Kingdom. Radiancy (Israel) Limited files in Israel. The Israeli subsidiary is subject to tax examination for calendar years 2014 through 2018.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized no income tax expense or benefit.

Loan and Security Agreement

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company, as Guarantor, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P. (“OPCO”), as Borrower, and the Lenders. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the loans made and evidenced by the Notes purchased by the Lenders (the “Loans”) will bear interest at a non-compounded per annum rate of interest equal to ten percent (10%), or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, with interest on the Loans accruing from the date the Loans are made. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of all Loans outstanding under the Private Placement from time to time shall be due and payable quarterly on the first day of each January, April, July and October while the Loans remain outstanding with the final payment of accrued, but unpaid, interest being due and payable on the maturity date, which is the earlier of (i) June 30, 2021 or (ii) two (2) business days following a Liquidity Event (as described below), unless extended pursuant to any modification, extension or renewal note executed by OPCO and accepted by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion. A Liquidity Event is defined in the Loan Agreement as (i) any sale, lease or other disposition of any asset of OPCO or any subsidiary thereof (other than a sale, lease or other disposition to a wholly-owned subsidiary or affiliate of OPCO), whether alone or in the aggregate with other sales, leases or other dispositions, resulting in net cash proceeds payable to OPCO or the Company of at least $25,000 in the aggregate or (ii) one or more debt or equity financings by OPCO or the Company, resulting in net cash proceeds of at least $25,000 in the aggregate.

 

Any amount of interest on the principal amount of any Loan made under the Private Placement which is not paid when due shall be added to the principal balance of such Loan and shall bear interest payable on demand at a default per annum interest rate equal to fifteen percent (15%). Gadsden may prepay the Loans in cash, in whole or in part, without penalty, provided that any prepayment of principal shall include all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company has absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Loans or other obligations of OPCO to the Lenders arising under the Loan Agreement or under any other document entered into in connection with the Private Placement (the “Guaranty”). In connection with the Guaranty, the Lenders having Loans representing a majority in principal amount of the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding at the time of determination, may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of the Loan Agreement: (i) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Loans or any part thereof; (ii) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment owing under the Guaranty; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as such Lenders may determine; and (iv) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantor of any of such obligations. All intercompany debt of Gadsden owing to the Company is subordinated until such time as the obligations under the Loan Agreement are paid in full in cash.

 

As security for the payment and performance of the obligations under the Loan Agreement, OPCO pledged to the Lenders a continuing and unconditional security interest in and to any and all assets and property of OPCO, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

Issuance of Warrants

 

As part of the Private Placement, the Company issued Warrants to the Lenders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 and are exercisable in whole or in part for three (3) years from the date of issuance, subject to the terms and conditions therein, and includes a provision by which the Lenders may exercise the Warrants by means of a cashless exercise. The number of shares of common stock for which each Warrant may be exercised is equal to the Loan amount of such Lender divided by the “Closing VWAP,” which is defined in the Warrant as the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days after the date of issuance of the Warrant.

 

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time for stock splits, combinations, stock dividends, consolidation or merger, the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or reclassification, change or conversion of the outstanding securities of the Company or any reorganization of the Company or any similar corporate reorganization.

Our Company

 

Gadsden Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or the Company, formerly FC Global Realty Incorporated (“FC Global”) re-incorporated in Nevada on December 30, 2010, originally formed in Delaware in 1980, is, since earlier in 2017, a real estate development and asset management company concentrated primarily on investments in high quality income producing assets, residential developments and other opportunistic commercial properties.

 

On March 13, 2019, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Gadsden Growth Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Gadsden”) (which was amended on April 5, 2019 and May 2, 2019), pursuant to which Gadsden agreed to transfer and assign to the Company all of its general partnership interests and Class A limited partnership interests in Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“OPCO”), the operating partnership of Gadsden that holds all of its assets and liabilities, in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock and 7% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “7% Series A Preferred Stock”), Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock”) and 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “10% Series C Preferred Stock”) that is equal to the number of shares of Gadsden’s 7% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively. Please see “Gadsden Purchase Agreement” under Liquidity and Capital Resources for details regarding this transaction.

 

Based on the accounting rules as applied to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Gadsden was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. Management concluded the Stock Purchase Agreement is an asset acquisition and not a business combination. The Company is not acquiring employees, processes or outputs, other than a negligible amount of revenue. Management is in the process of disposing of all of the historical FC Global assets and liabilities and these assets and liabilities are classified as “held for sale” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. One small single-tenant building that is not classified as “held for sale” is currently being considered for disposal by the Company’s management. Accordingly, the financial statements of Gadsden will be treated as the historical financial statements of the Company, with the results of the entities defined as Pre-merged of the Company being included only from April 6, 2019 and thereafter.

 

Our focus is now on value-added retail and mixed-use properties in secondary and tertiary markets across the United States. The Company derives value from smaller, flexible investments that range from $5 million to $50 million. As a result of this chosen strategy, we have developed a unique competitive advantage that generally allows it to compete with less well capitalized buyers, such as publicly traded REITs and other large institutional investors.

 

Existing Portfolio

 

Following the acquisition under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as of June 30, 2019, the Company’s real estate portfolio consists of the following properties:

 

Mission Hills Square. Mission Hills Square is a new mixed-use development located in Fremont, California and slated for completion in in the fourth quarter of 2020. Situated in the foothills of the San Francisco Bay Area along Highway 680, Mission Hills Square will offer 158 residential apartment units and more than 53,900 square feet of commercial retail space. Mission Hills future commercial tenants are anticipated to include retail stores, sit-down restaurants, and casual eateries that will serve not only the residents of Mission Hills but also the populations that live in the surrounding areas, as Mission Hills Square will be an easily accessible shopping and dining destination.

 

Sacramento Home Lots. Sacramento Home Lots include two separate investment parcels, referred to as Roseville and Jessie. The Roseville parcel is located on Roseville Road in Sacramento, California and is an approximately 9.6 acres parcel that is entitled for the development of approximately 65 small lot single family detached homes. The Jessie parcel is located on Jessie Avenue in Sacramento, California and is an approximately 13.6-acre parcel that is entitled for the development of 94 small lot single family detached homes. The parcels are in established residential neighborhoods. The Company sold the Roseville parcel for $1.5 million in cash, net of delinquent property taxes, liens, mortgage debt, accrued interest and customary sales commissions and closing costs, and is negotiating to sell the Jesse parcel with the same buyer. These properties are reported under “Assets held for sale” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Ohio Medical Office. In 2018, the Company acquired a 7,738 square foot medical office building in Dayton, Ohio. The building’s former owner, and current tenant, a medical practice, has entered into a lease with the Company to continue its occupancy through April 2022, with the option to renew that lease for two additional five-year terms.

 

Gas Station Sites. In 2017, the Company acquired three unoccupied land sites intended for development as gas stations in northern California. The Company has entered into sales contracts for the sites for an aggregate purchase price of $855 thousand, net of delinquent property taxes, title liens, customary sales commissions and closing costs. These properties closed escrow in September and October of 2019. These properties are reported under “Assets held for sale” on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Vacant Land. In 2017, the Company acquired an unoccupied land site intended for development in Atwater, California commonly referred to as “Green Sands II”. The site consists of a single parcel 1.05 acres in size zoned for industrial use. The property is reported under “Assets held for sale” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. This property was encumbered by a First Deed of Trust and the Company determined the value of the property was less than the note and returned the property to the note holder in August of 2019.

Recent Developments

 

Amendment No. 3 to Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On July 1, 2019, the Company and Gadsden entered into Amendment No. 3, which amends the Stock Purchase Agreement to add a new Section 9.13, under which the Company assumes all accrued liabilities of Gadsden and agrees to pay and discharge those liabilities, as well as any future liabilities which Gadsden may accrue through the date that Gadsden is merged with and into the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. Moreover, Gadsden transferred to the Company all of its right, title and interest, legal or equitable, in and to all of Gadsden’s its assets, other than the securities of the Company held by Gadsden.

 

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation

 

On August 19, 2019, FC Global Realty Incorporated filed an Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to, among other things (i) change the name of the Company to “Gadsden Properties, Inc.” (ii) increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares; and (iii) add certain provisions restricting ownership and transfer of shares to comply with requirements under the Internal Revenue Code for a real estate investment trust, or REIT. At this time, the Company will continue to trade its stock under the symbol “FCRE” on the OTC Pink Sheets. The Company anticipates changing that symbol in the near future.

Loan and Security Agreement

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company, as Guarantor, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P. (“OPCO”), as Borrower, and the Lenders. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the loans made and evidenced by the Notes purchased by the Lenders (the “Loans”) will bear interest at a non-compounded per annum rate of interest equal to ten percent (10%), or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, with interest on the Loans accruing from the date the Loans are made. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of all Loans outstanding under the Private Placement from time to time shall be due and payable quarterly on the first day of each January, April, July and October while the Loans remain outstanding with the final payment of accrued, but unpaid, interest being due and payable on the maturity date, which is the earlier of (i) June 30, 2021 or (ii) two (2) business days following a Liquidity Event (as described below), unless extended pursuant to any modification, extension or renewal note executed by OPCO and accepted by the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion. A Liquidity Event is defined in the Loan Agreement as (i) any sale, lease or other disposition of any asset of OPCO or any subsidiary thereof (other than a sale, lease or other disposition to a wholly-owned subsidiary or affiliate of OPCO), whether alone or in the aggregate with other sales, leases or other dispositions, resulting in net cash proceeds payable to OPCO or the Company of at least $25 million in the aggregate or (ii) one or more debt or equity financings by OPCO or the Company, resulting in net cash proceeds of at least $25 million in the aggregate.

 

Any amount of interest on the principal amount of any Loan made under the Private Placement which is not paid when due shall be added to the principal balance of such Loan and shall bear interest payable on demand at a default per annum interest rate equal to fifteen percent (15%). Gadsden may prepay the Loans in cash, in whole or in part, without penalty, provided that any prepayment of principal shall include all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company has absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Loans or other obligations of OPCO to the Lenders arising under the Loan Agreement or under any other document entered into in connection with the Private Placement (the “Guaranty”). In connection with the Guaranty, the Lenders having Loans representing a majority in principal amount of the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding at the time of determination, may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of the Loan Agreement: (i) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Loans or any part thereof; (ii) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment owing under the Guaranty; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as such Lenders may determine; and (iv) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantor of any of such obligations. All intercompany debt of Gadsden owing to the Company is subordinated until such time as the obligations under the Loan Agreement are paid in full in cash.

 

As security for the payment and performance of the obligations under the Loan Agreement, OPCO pledged to the Lenders a continuing and unconditional security interest in and to any and all assets and property of OPCO, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

Issuance of Warrants

 

As part of the Private Placement, the Company issued Warrants to the Lenders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 and are exercisable in whole or in part for three (3) years from the date of issuance, subject to the terms and conditions therein, and includes a provision by which the Lenders may exercise the Warrants by means of a cashless exercise. The number of shares of common stock for which each Warrant may be exercised is equal to the Loan amount of such Lender divided by the “Closing VWAP,” which is defined in the Warrant as the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days after the date of issuance of the Warrant.

 

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time for stock splits, combinations, stock dividends, consolidation or merger, the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or reclassification, change or conversion of the outstanding securities of the Company or any reorganization of the Company or any similar corporate reorganization.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, the Company will reserve and keep available from its authorized but unissued common stock the number of shares of common stock that are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of the entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Investor.

The number of placement agent warrants to be issued shall be determined based upon the value of the placement agent warrants utilizing the Black Scholes model on the day a of the closing under the Private Placement. The placement agent warrants shall have an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the price per share of common stock on the day of a closing under the Private Placement and a duration of seven years from the date of the warrants’ issuance.

Net interest and other financing expense related to our notes payable and currency conversion differences for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was approximately $46 thousand. The increase of approximately $1.2 million is primarily due to exit fees associated with the Sacramento property held for sale.

 

Interest expense – related parties. Interest expense – related parties expense related to the OID note -related party for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was approximately $15 thousand. The decrease was the result of the notes OID notes being fully amortized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $31 million and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.4 million. To date, and subsequent to liquidating assets held for sale, the Company has dedicated its financial resources to managing operational expenses.

 

We have historically financed our activities with cash from the private placement of equity and debt securities and, in recent periods, with sale of certain assets and business units.

 

We will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support our operations. At this time, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short and long-term support of our operations or that we will be able to obtain additional financing as needed, or meet the conditions of such financing, or that the costs of such financing may not be prohibitive. The Company does not have sufficient cash for the next 12 months of operations without raising additional capital.

 

The transaction with Gadsden contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, which was completed on April 5, 2019, provided no additional working capital for the Company.

 

Management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty

Our net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019 was for loan draws used in the construction of Mission Hills totaling $3.7, which was offset in part by the net cash received in the reverse capitalization of $.8 million, proceeds on the sale of an investment property of $0.2 million and net cash received in the acquisition of Mission Hills of approximately $0.1 million.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.5 million net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Asset Sales

 

On April 29, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive sales contract, with an independent third party, for a land parcel located at 715 Atwater Blvd, Atwater, CA 95301 (“the 715 Atwater Property”). The 715 Atwater Property is comprised of .45 acres zoned RT permitting both commercial and residential uses. The contracted sales price is $225,000 cash, net of delinquent property taxes, customary sales commissions and closing costs. The 715 Atwater property is in escrow with a 30-day close scheduled for May 29, 2019. The carrying value of the 715 Atwater Property was $230,000 as of June 30, 2019, and is included in Asset held for sale, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. That sale was completed on September 23, 2019 and net proceeds to the Company were $191 thousand.

 

On May 2, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive sales contract, with an independent third party, for a land parcel located at 1039 Atwater Blvd, Atwater, CA 95301 (“the 1039 Atwater Property”). The 1039 Atwater Property is comprised of .89 acres zoned CC, Central Commercial, permitting a wide variety of commercial uses. The contracted sales price is $430,000 cash, net of delinquent property taxes, customary sales commissions and closing costs. The 1039 Atwater property is in escrow with a 45-day close scheduled for June 17, 2019. The carrying value of the 1039 Atwater Property was $430,000 as of March 31, 2019, and is included in assets held for sale, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. That sale was completed on September 16, 2019 and net proceeds to the Company were $139 thousand.

 

On June 17, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary, First Capital Avalon Jubilee, LLC (“First Capital”), to Alpha Alpha, LLC (“Alpha”). This transaction did not involve a significant amount of assets. The Company acquired First Capital, which holds a minority interest in Avalon Jubilee, LLC, a residential development in New Mexico, in May 2017. The buyer, Alpha, holds the majority interest in that development. The Company disposed of the property as part of a review of its assets so as to concentrate on its core strategy to acquire and manage real estate assets concentrated in the retail and mixed-use sectors across the United States.

 

Gadsden Purchase Agreement

 

On March 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Gadsden, pursuant to which Gadsden agreed to transfer and assign to the Company all of its general partnership interests and Class A limited partnership interests in OPCO, the operating partnership of Gadsden that holds all of its assets and liabilities, in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock and 7% Series A Preferred Stock, Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 10% Series C Preferred Stock that is equal to the number of shares of Gadsden’s 7% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively. Upon an effective S-4 filing, Gadsden will exchange and push down shares to its shareholders effectively completing the merger.

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that certain shares (“the Holdback Shares”) of the Company’s common stock issuable to Gadsden would be subject to forfeiture based on the reconciliation and adjustment of the future net asset value of the Transaction Assets. On or before April 15, 2021, the Company will recalculate the net value of the Transaction Assets that have been acquired by Gadsden or the Company on or prior to May 15, 2019, as at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2020, with the year of determination being at the option of Gadsden.

 

On April 5, 2019, the Company and Gadsden entered into Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend certain provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, were completed the same day.

 

On May 2, 2019, the parties entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”), to (i) decrease the number of shares of common stock and Holdback Shares issued to Gadsden, and increase the number of shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock issued, as the result of an error in the original calculation of the shares to be issued; (ii) provide for the issuance of the Holdback Shares on the closing date, rather than the Charter Amendment Date; and (iii) provide for the issuance of certain of the shares of the Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 10% Series C Preferred Stock to FHDC Group, LLC, or FHDC, a stockholder of Gadsden, in exchange for the equivalent number of shares of Gadsden held by it.

 

On July 1, 2019, the parties entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 3), to clarify that the Company assumed all accrued liabilities of Gadsden and agreed to pay and discharge those accrued liabilities as well as any future liabilities of Gadsden through the date that Gadsden is merged with and into the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and Gadsden transferred to the Company all of Gadsden’s right, title and interest, legal or equitable, to all of its assets other than the securities of the Company held by Gadsden.

 

As a result of Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, the final number of shares of the Company’s stock issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, to Gadsden and its stockholders were: (i) 331,033,280 shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) 110,477,220 Holdback Shares; (iii) 889,075 shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) 3,000,000 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock; (iv) 2,498,682 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock.

 

On October 11, 2019, the Company cancelled 105,946,701 shares of common stock issued to Gadsden with an effective date of June 30, 2019. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the 105,946,701 shares of common stock were characterized as “Holdback Shares” and were issued to Gadsden contingent upon the contribution by Gadsden of additional properties to the Company. The last date for any contribution was May 20, 2019. No additional contributions were made, and therefore the shares were cancelled.

 

If the estimated net asset value of Gadsden pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Contract NAV”) is more than the Gadsden final net asset value as recalculated by the Company on or before April 15, 2021, then the difference, or the Shortfall, will be settled by the transfer of shares of the Company’s common stock, at a value equal to 3.771023733 shares of common stock for each $1.00 of Shortfall. If the Gadsden final net asset value is $80 million or less, the shortfall will be settled by the transfer of shares of the Company’s common stock, at a value equal to 2.860407207 for each $1.00 of Shortfall.

Based on the accounting rules as applied to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, OPCO is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. Management has concluded the Stock Purchase Agreement is an asset acquisition and not a business combination. The Company is not acquiring employees, processes or outputs, other than a negligible amount of revenue. Management is in the process of disposing of all of the historical FC Global assets and liabilities and these assets and liabilities are classified as “held for sale” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. One small single tenant building that is not classified as “held for sale” is currently being considered for disposal by the Company’s management. Accordingly, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, and therefore, the financial statements of OPCO will be treated as the historical financial statements of the Company, with the results of the entities defined as Pre-merged of the Company being included only from April 6, 2019 and thereafter.

 

As stated above, OPCO is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. As a result, the net assets acquired from the Company on April 5, 2019 including working capital, a small single-tenant building, land held for development, and a passive noncontrolling interest in an entity that owns undeveloped land were exchanged for: (i) all of the Class A limited partnership interests in OPCO, and all of the general partnership interests in OPCO, which is the operating partnership of Gadsden and (ii) Gadsden’s assets and liabilities. The initial measurement of the assets acquired from FC Global will be the fair value of the Company’s OPCO Units, on the closing date, or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. In this case, management determined the fair value of the assets acquired from the Company the more reliable measurement.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At June 30, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We have not operated in a highly inflationary period, and do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on revenues or expenses.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Real Estate Under Development

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a real estate project are capitalized as real estate under development. In addition, interest, real estate taxes and other expenses that are directly associated with the Company’s development activities are capitalized until the property is placed in service. Interest expense is capitalized using the Company’s weighted average interest rate. Internal direct costs are capitalized to projects in which qualifying expenditures are being incurred. Capitalized real estate costs totaled $112,954 as of June 30, 2019.

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

All of the Company’s long-lived assets are monitored for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. If there is an indication of impairment the Company will use the undiscounted cashflows to determine if the assets needs to be impaired.

 

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

The Company generally considers assets to be “held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by its Board of Trustees, or by officers vested with authority to approve the transaction, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale of the property within one year of the consideration date and the consummation of the transaction is otherwise considered probable. When a property is designated as held for sale, the Company stops depreciating the property and estimates the property’s fair value, net of selling costs. If the determination is made that the estimated fair value, net of selling costs, is less than the net carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recognized, reducing the net carrying value of the property to estimated fair value less selling costs. For periods in which a property is classified as held for sale, the Company classifies the assets and liabilities, as applicable, of the property as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheet for such periods. Several of the investment properties held for sale were either sold or are in escrow at purchase prices lower than the value recorded. Thus, the Company recorded total asset impairments of $318 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Commencing January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) “Leases”, which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC Topic 840, “Leases”. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued amendments in ASU 2018-11, which provide a transition election to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. This transition election permits entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, or retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The guidance was adopted in the first interim period in 2019 and had no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this Update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. Adoption is prospectively applied to any business development transaction. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed the recent accounting pronouncements and determined there are no current pronouncements that will significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2019. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weakness described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which we are in the process of remediating as of June 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This evaluation as of June 30, 2019 should be read in conjunction with Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for the description of this material weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. During its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, our management identified a material weakness in the internal control of the Company.

This material weakness was associated with a lack of sufficient internal controls (including IT and general controls) that encompass our Company as a whole with respect to entity and transactions level controls in order to ensure complete documentation of complex and non-routine transactions and adequate financial reporting. We are undertaking remedial measures, which will take time to implement and test, to address this material weakness. There can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to remedy the material weakness identified or that additional material weaknesses or other control or significant deficiencies will not be identified in the future. If we continue to experience material weaknesses in our internal controls or fail to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, such circumstances could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements, or adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and, if required, annual auditor attestation reports.

 

We are remediating this material weakness by, among other things, implementing a process of enhanced, multi-stage review of the identification and valuation of all assets to be acquired by our Company, including verification of identifying indicators for each asset. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, including review as well as oversight by our Audit Committee. Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness incurred in 2018 by implementing best practices in 2019 and reevaluating the effectiveness over the course of the year.

 

Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
