1. ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF PREPARATION:
Description
of Business
GTJ REIT,
Inc. (the “Company” or “GTJ REIT”) was incorporated in Maryland on June 23, 2006
to engage in any lawful act or activity including, without limitation or
obligation, qualifying as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections
856 through 860, or any successor sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), for which corporations may be organized under Maryland
General Corporation Law. The Company has focused primarily on the ownership and
management of commercial real estate located in New York City and also has one
property located in Farmington, Connecticut. In addition, the Company, through
its taxable REIT subsidiaries, provides outdoor maintenance and shelter cleaning
services to outdoor advertising companies and government agencies in New York,
New Jersey, Arizona and California as well as electrical construction services
to a broad range of commercial, industrial, institutional and governmental
customers in New York.
On March
29, 2007, the Company commenced operations upon the completion of the
Reorganization described below. Effective July 1, 2007, the Company elected to
be treated as a REIT under the Code and elected December 31st as
its fiscal year end. Additionally, in connection with the Tax Relief Extension
Act of 1999 (“RMA”), the Company is permitted to participate in activities
outside the normal operations of the REIT so long as these activities are
conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under
the Code subject to certain limitations.
At March
31, 2010, the Company owned seven properties containing a total of approximately
561,000 square feet of leasable area.
Reorganization
On July
24, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Agreement”) with Triboro Coach Corp., a New York corporation (“Triboro”);
Jamaica Central Railways, Inc., a New York corporation (“Jamaica”); Green Bus
Lines, Inc., a New York corporation (“Green” and together with Triboro and
Jamaica, collectively referred to as the “Bus Companies” and each referred to as
a “Bus Company”); GTJ REIT, Triboro Acquisition, Inc., a New York corporation
(“Triboro Acquisition”); Jamaica Acquisition, Inc., a New York corporation
(“Jamaica Acquisition”); and Green Acquisition, Inc., a New York corporation
(“Green Acquisition,” and together with Jamaica Acquisition and Triboro
Acquisition collectively referred to as the “Acquisition Subsidiaries” and each
referred to as an “Acquisition Subsidiary”). The transactions contemplated under
the Agreement closed on March 29, 2007. The effect of the merger transactions
was to complete a reorganization (“Reorganization”) of the ownership of the Bus
Companies into the Company with the surviving entities of the merger of the Bus
Companies with the Acquisition Subsidiaries becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries
of the Company and the former shareholders of the Bus Companies becoming
stockholders in the Company.
Under the
terms of the Agreements, each share of common stock of each Bus Company’s issued
and outstanding shares immediately prior to the effective time of the mergers,
was converted into the right to receive the following shares of the Company’s
common stock:
● | Each share of Green common stock was converted into the right to receive 1,117.429975 shares of the Company’s common stock. | ||
● | Each share of Triboro common stock was converted into the right to receive 2,997.964137 shares of the Company’s common stock. | ||
● | Each share of Jamaica common stock was converted into the right to receive 195.001987 shares of the Company’s common stock. |

1. ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued):
The Bus
Companies, including their subsidiaries, owned a total of seven rentable parcels
of real property at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, four of which are
leased to the City of New York (the “City”), two of which are leased to
commercial tenants (five on a triple net basis), and one of which a portion is
leased to a commercial tenant and the remainder, which was utilized by the
Company’s discontinued paratransit business, is available for lease. There is an
additional property of negligible size which is not rentable. Prior to the
Reorganization, the Bus Companies and their subsidiaries, collectively, operated
a group of outdoor maintenance businesses and a paratransit business which was
subsequently discontinued and was acquired as part of the merger.
Following
the completion of the Reorganization, on July 1, 2007, the Company elected to be
treated as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Code. In order to adopt
a REIT structure, it was necessary to combine the Bus Companies and their
subsidiaries under a single holding company. The Company is the holding company.
The Company has formed three wholly-owned New York corporations and each of the
Bus Companies merged with one of these subsidiaries to become wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company. The mergers required the approval of the holders of
at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of common stock of each of Green,
Triboro and Jamaica, voting separately and not as one class, which was obtained
on March 26, 2007.
Based on
third-party valuations of the real property, outdoor maintenance businesses, and
the paratransit business (which was discontinued as of September 30, 2008), and
considering the ownership of the same in whole or part by each of the Bus
Companies, the Company was advised by an outside appraisal firm that the
relative valuation of each of the Bus Companies (as part of GTJ REIT, Inc.) and
in connection with the Reorganization was as follows: Green-42.088%,
Triboro-38.287% and Jamaica-19.625%. Accordingly, under the Reorganization,
10,000,361 shares (including 361 fractional shares) of the Company’s common
stock were distributed to the former shareholders of Green, Triboro, and Jamaica
in exchange for their shares in the Bus Companies. Exclusive of fractional
shares, 4,208,800 shares were distributed to the shareholders of Green,
3,828,700 shares to the shareholders of Triboro and 1,962,500 shares to the
shareholders of Jamaica, in proportion to the outstanding shares held by such
shareholders of each Bus Company, respectively.
As part
of becoming a REIT, the Company was required, after the Reorganization, to make
a distribution of the Bus Companies’ historical undistributed earnings and
profits, calculated to be an estimated $62.1 million (see Note 8). The Company
agreed to distribute up to $20.0 million in cash, and 3,775,400 shares of the
Company’s common stock, valued at $11.14 per share solely for purposes of the
distribution calculated as follows:
Total

The
Reorganization was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting as
required by ASC No. 805. Because GTJ REIT has been formed to issue equity
interests to effect a business combination, as required by ASC No. 805, one of
the existing combining entities was required to be determined the acquiring
entity. Under ASC No. 805, the acquiring entity is the combining entity whose
owners as a group retained or received the larger portion of the voting rights
in the combined entity. Immediately following the Reorganization, the former
Green shareholders had a 42.088% voting and economic interest in the Company,
the former Triboro shareholders had a 38.287% voting and economic interest in
the Company, and the former Jamaica shareholders had a 19.625% voting and
economic interest in the company. Additionally, under ASC No. 805, in
determining the acquiring entity, consideration was given to which combining
entity initiated the combination and whether the assets, revenues, and earnings
of one of the combining entities significantly exceed those of the
others.

1. ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued):
Each
stockholder elected to receive a combination of cash and stock, or exclusively
cash or stock. If more than $20.0 million of cash was elected in the aggregate,
cash distributed to each stockholder electing to receive some or all of his or
her distribution in cash was to be reduced such that the aggregate cash
distribution will total approximately $20.0 million and the balance of the
distribution to each such stockholder will be made in the Company’s common
stock. The Company distributed approximately $19.7 million in cash
and 3,775,400 shares of common stock (with a value of approximately $42.1
million). The undistributed cash balance of approximately $0.2 million is
included in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at
March 31, 2010. Green’s assets at December 31, 2006 totaled approximately $23.9
million as compared to Triboro’s assets of approximately $19.4 million, and
Jamaica’s assets of approximately $10.2 million, and Green’s revenues on a going
forward basis are expected to exceed that of Triboro and Jamaica. As a result of
these facts, Green was deemed to be the accounting acquirer and the historical
financial statements of the Company are those of Green.
Under the
purchase method of accounting, Triboro’s and Jamaica’s assets and liabilities
were acquired by Green and have been recorded at their estimated fair value.
Accordingly, under the Reorganization, 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock were distributed (exclusive of 361 fractional shares), 4,208,800 shares to
the shareholders of Green, 3,828,700 shares to the shareholders of Triboro and
1,962,500 shares to the shareholders of Jamaica, in such case in proportion to
the outstanding shares held by such shareholders of each Bus Company,
respectively.
The
following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The fair values are based on
third-party valuations. The fair value of the net assets acquired for the
remaining interest in GTJ, not previously owned by Green, exceeded the total
consideration for the acquisition by approximately $6.0 million (of which an
additional adjustment of approximately $1.1 million was recorded at
December 31, 2007 to adjust certain acquired deferred tax liabilities),
resulting in negative goodwill. The excess negative goodwill was allocated on a
pro rata basis and recorded as a reduction of long-lived assets.
The
following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price in the form of a
condensed consolidated balance sheet reflecting the estimated fair values (after
the allocation of negative goodwill) of the amounts assigned to each major asset
and liability caption of the acquired entities at the date of acquisition (in
thousands):

1. ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued):
On June 30, 2009, GTJ REIT, Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Shelter
Electric Maintenance Corp. and Shelter Electric Acquisition Subsidiary LLC,
(collectively, “Shelter Electric”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the
“Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Morales Electrical Contracting, Inc.
(“Morales”), a Valley Stream, New York based electrical construction company,
pursuant to which Morales sold certain of its assets and assigned certain
contracts and employees to Shelter Electric.
Pursuant
to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Shelter Electric purchased these assets, free
and clear of all liens and other encumbrances, in consideration for the payment
of approximately $1.0 million, consisting primarily of the satisfaction and
payment of certain liabilities of Morales. The $1.0 million purchase price was
allocated to identifiable intangible assets with approximately $0.3 million
allocated to the contracts assumed, $0.4 million allocated to the non-compete
agreement, $0.2 million allocated to customer relationships and $0.1 million
allocated to goodwill. Shelter Electric will also provide a line of credit of up
to approximately $0.6 million to Morales, through a Credit and Security
Agreement to finance the completion of two contracts currently in progress at
Morales. In addition, the former Vice President of Morales has been employed by
Shelter to manage and expand the electrical construction operations. The
employment is subject to usual and customary conditions and restrictive
covenants.
On March 29, 2010, Shelter Electric invested approximately four
hundred dollars in exchange for a 40% interest in a joint venture with Morales,
a Minority Women Owned Busiess Enterprise ("MWBE"). The joint venture was
formed to secure MWBE contracts for the purpose of providing electrical
construction services.
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation:
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial
statements, although management believes that the disclosures presented herein
are adequate to make the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements presented not misleading.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and partnerships or
other joint ventures which the Company controls. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year
ending December 31, 2010. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited
consolidated annual financial statements and the related Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2009.
2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Use
of Estimates:
The
preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. All of these estimates reflect management’s best judgment about current
economic and market conditions and their effects based on information available
as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. If such
conditions persist longer or deteriorate further than expected, it is reasonably
possible that the judgments and estimates could change, which may result in
impairments of certain assets. Significant estimates include those related to
uncollectible receivables, the useful lives of long lived assets including
property and equipment and intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies,
environmental matters, insurance liabilities and stock-based
compensation.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Reclassifications:
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
Real
Estate Investments:
Real
estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. All costs related to the improvement or replacements of real
estate properties are capitalized. Additions, renovations and improvements that
enhance and/or extend the useful life of a property are also capitalized.
Expenditures for ordinary maintenance, repairs and improvements that do not
materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations
as incurred.
Upon the
acquisition of real estate properties, the fair values of the real estate
purchased are allocated to the acquired tangible assets (consisting of
land, buildings and building improvements) and identified intangible assets and
liabilities (consisting of above-market and below-market leases and in-place
leases) in accordance with ASC No. 805. The Company utilizes methods similar to
those used by independent appraisers in estimating
the fair value of acquired assets
and liabilities. The fair value of the
tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property
“as-if-vacant.” The fair value reflects the depreciated replacement cost of the
asset. In allocating purchase price to identified intangible assets and
liabilities of an acquired property, the values of above-market and below-market
leases are estimated based on the differences between (i) contractual rentals
and the estimated market rents over the applicable lease term discounted back to
the date of acquisition utilizing a discount rate adjusted for the credit risk
associated with the respective tenants and (ii) the estimated cost of acquiring
such leases giving effect to the Company’s history of providing tenant
improvements and paying leasing commissions, offset by a vacancy period during
which such space would be leased. The aggregate value of in-place leases is
measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after
adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the
estimated fair value of the property “as-if-vacant,” determined as set forth
above.
Above and
below market leases acquired are recorded at their fair values. The capitalized
above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over
the remaining term of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market
lease values are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining
term of the respective leases. The value of in-place leases is based on the
Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease.
Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during expected lease-up
periods, current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The
values of in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the
respective leases. If a tenant vacates its space prior to its contractual
expiration date, any unamortized balance of the related intangible asset is
expensed.
Depreciation
and Amortization:
The
Company uses the straight-line method for depreciation and amortization.
Properties and property improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful
lives, which range from 10 to 25 years. Furniture and fixtures, equipment, and
transportation equipment are depreciated over estimated useful lives that
range from 5 to 10 years. Tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of
the remaining non-cancellable term of the related leases or their useful
lives.
Deferred
Charges:
Deferred
charges consist principally of leasing commissions (which are amortized ratably
over the life of the related tenant leases) and financing fees (which are
amortized over the terms of the respective agreements).

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Asset
Impairment:
The
Company applies the guidance in ASC No. 360-10-05 to recognize and measure
impairment of long-lived assets. Management reviews each real estate investment
for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value
of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability
is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result
from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. Such cash flow
analysis includes factors such as expected future operating income, trends and
prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other
factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover
the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded
to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Management
is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments
in the value of its real estate holdings. These assessments could have a direct
impact on net income, because an impairment loss is recognized in the period
that the assessment is made.
When impairment indicators are present,
investments in affiliated companies are reviewed for impairment by comparing
their fair values to their respective carrying amounts. The Company made its
estimate of fair value by considering certain factors including discounted cash
flow analyses. If the fair value of the investment had dropped below the
carrying amount, management considered several factors when determining whether
an other-than-temporary decline in market value had occurred, including the
length of the time and the extent to which the fair value had been below cost,
the financial condition and near-term prospects of the affiliated company, and
other factors influencing the fair market value, such as general market
conditions. There were no indicators of impairment for the three months ended
March 31, 2010.
Reportable
Segments:
The Company primarily operates in three
reportable segments: (i) Real Estate Operations, (ii) Outside Maintenance,
Shelter Cleaning Operations, and Electrical Contracting, and (iii) Insurance
Operations. Each segment’s operations are conducted throughout the U.S., with
the exception of the Insurance Operations which is conducted in the Cayman
Islands.
●
|
Real
Estate Operations rent Company owned real estate located in New York and
Connecticut.
|
●
|
Outside
Maintenance, Shelter Cleaning Operations and Electrical Contracting
provide outside maintenance and shelter cleaning services to outdoor
advertising companies and government agencies in New York, New Jersey,
Arizona and California and electrical construction services to a broad
range of commercial, industrial, institutional and governmental customers
in New York.
|
●
|
Insurance
Operations assumes reinsurance of worker's compensation, vehicle liability
and covenant liability of the Company and its affiliated companies from
unrelated insurance companies based in the United States of
America.
|
Revenue
Recognition—Real Estate Operations:
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC No. 840-20-25 which requires
that revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease
unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time
pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. For the three months
ended March 31, 2010, five tenants constituted approximately 66%, 16%, 12%, 5%,
and 1% of rental revenue and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, four
tenants constituted approximately 68%, 17%, 13%, and 2% of rental
revenue.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
In those
instances in which the Company funds tenant improvements and the improvements
are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition will commence when
the improvements are substantially completed and possession or control of the
space is turned over to the tenant. When the Company determines that the tenant
allowances are lease incentives, the Company commences revenue recognition when
possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work
to begin. The properties are being leased to tenants under operating
leases. The excess
revenue recognized over amounts due pursuant to the underlying leases amounted
to approximately $5,679,000 and $5,324,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, respectively (see Note 4).
Property
operating expense recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance, real
estate and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period the related
expenses are incurred.
Revenue
Recognition—Outside Maintenance and Shelter Cleaning Operations:
Cleaning
and maintenance revenue is recognized upon completion of the related
service.
Revenue
Recognition—Electrical Contracting Operations:
The
Company recognizes revenues from long-term construction
contracts on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC No.
605-35. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of
costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such
contract at completion.
Revenue
Recognition—Insurance Operations:
Premiums
are recognized as revenue on a pro-rata basis over the policy term. The portion
of premiums that will be earned in the future are deferred and reported as
unearned premiums. No premiums were earned for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Earnings
Per Share Information:
In
accordance with ASC No. 260-10-45, the Company presents both basic and
diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock,
where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower per share amount. The
stock option awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the awards would have been antidilutive for the periods
presented.
Discontinued
Operations:
The
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company present the
operations of the Paratransit Operations as discontinued operations in
accordance with ASC No. 205-20-05 for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and 2009.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents:
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
Restricted
Cash:
The
Company has restricted cash held by AIG on behalf of the Company that is
restricted by the insurance carrier for the purpose of the payment of insured
losses. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company had
restricted cash in the amount of $1,055,731 and $1,065,576,
respectively.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Accounts
Receivable:
Accounts
receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at the original invoice
amounts, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is
generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables generally do
not bear interest. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for
collectibility based on past credit histories with customers and their current
financial conditions. Changes in the estimated collectibility of trade
receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the periods in which
the estimates are revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are
offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally
does not require collateral for trade receivables.
Available
for Sale Securities:
The
Company accounts for debt and equity securities as available-for-sale securities
in accordance with ASC No. 320-10-35. Management determines the
appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at the time of purchase
and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
Available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net
of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of
stockholders’ equity. Interest on securities is included in interest income.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The cost of securities
sold is based on the specific identification method. Estimated fair value is
determined based on quoted market prices.
Income
Taxes:
The
Company is organized and conducts its operations to qualify as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is generally not subject
to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT
taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of its taxable
income to its stockholders and complies with certain other requirements as
defined under Section 856 through 860 of the Code.
The
Company also participates in certain activities conducted by entities which
elected to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. As such, the
Company is subject to federal, state and local taxes on the income from these
activities. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method, as required by the provisions of ASC No. 740-10-30. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are established based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance
for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such
assets to be more likely than not.
ASC No. 740-10-65
addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be
claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under
ASC No. 740-10-65, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain
tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be
sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical
merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements
from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a
greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. ASC No. 740-10-65 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim
periods and requires increased disclosures. As of March 31, 2010 and December
31, 2009, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax
positions.
Comprehensive
Income:
The
Company follows the provisions of ASC No. 220-10-45, which sets forth
rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.
ASC No. 220-10-45 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's
available-for-sale securities to be included in accumulated other comprehensive
income, net of taxes and as a component of stockholders’ equity.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Environmental
Matters:
Accruals
for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has
been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based
on current law and existing technologies. These accruals are adjusted
periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional
technical or legal information become available.
Environmental
costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life of the property, increase its
capacity, and/or mitigate or prevent contamination from future operations.
Environmental costs are also capitalized in recognition of legal asset
retirement obligations resulting from the acquisition, construction and/or
normal operation of a long-lived asset. Costs related to remedial investigation
and feasibility studies, environmental contamination treatment and cleanup are
charged to expense. Estimated future incremental operations, maintenance and
management costs directly related to remediation are accrued when such costs are
probable and estimable (see Notes 6 and 11).
Insurance
Liabilities:
The
liability for losses and loss-adjustment expenses includes an amount for claims
reported and a provision for adverse claims development. The liability for
claims reported is based on management's best estimates, while the liability for
adverse claims development is based on independent actuarial reports. Such
liabilities are necessarily based on estimates and, while management believes
that the amounts are adequate, the ultimate liabilities may be in excess of or
less than the amounts recorded and it is reasonably possible that the
expectations associated with these amounts could change in the near-term (that
is within one year) and that the effect of such changes could be material to the
condensed consolidated financial statements. The methods for making such
estimates and for establishing the resulting liabilities are continually
reviewed, and any adjustments are reported in current earnings.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk:
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist of cash equivalents, which from time-to-time exceed the Federal
depository insurance coverage. Cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up
to $250,000 through December 31, 2013.
Derivative
Financial Instruments:
The
Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate
caps, to manage its exposure in fluctuations to interest rates related to the
Company’s floating rate debt. The Company has established policies
and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring
of derivative financial instrument activities. The Company has not entered into,
and does not plan to enter into, derivative financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes. Additionally, the Company has a policy of only entering
derivative contracts with major financial institutions.
The
Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with
ASC No. 815-10-10 which requires an entity to measure derivative
instruments at fair value and to record them in the condensed consolidated
balance sheet as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or
obligations under the applicable derivative contract with any change in fair
value recorded as a component of interest expense.
Investment in
Equity Affiliates:
The
Company invests in joint ventures that are formed to perform electrical
construction services. These investments are recorded under either the equity or
cost method of accounting as appropriate. The Company records its share of the
net income and losses from the underlying properties and any
other-than-temporary impairment on these investments on a single line item in
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as income or losses from
equity affiliates.
Stock-Based
Compensation:
The
Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 8. The
Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with
ASC No. 718-30-30, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards
exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC No. 718-10-35,
share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair
value of the award, and is expensed against earnings at the grant date (for the
portion that vests immediately) or ratably over the respective vesting
periods.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In
February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events:
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which provides
updated guidance on subsequent events and removes the requirement to disclose
the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated for SEC filers.
This guidance became effective upon issuance and its adoption did not have an
effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which
requires disclosure of details of significant asset or liability transfers in
and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements within the fair value
hierarchy and inclusion of gross purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in
the rollforward of assets and liabilities valued using Level 3 inputs
within the fair value hierarchy. The guidance also clarifies and expands
existing disclosure requirements related to the disaggregation of fair value
disclosures and inputs used in arriving at fair values for assets and
liabilities using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within the fair value
hierarchy. This guidance became effective for interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross
presentation of the Level 3 rollforward, which is required for annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within
those years. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the
Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, “Equity: Accounting for
Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of
the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” which clarifies the treatment of the stock
portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows the election to receive
cash or stock. This guidance became effective for interim and annual reporting
periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-01 did
not have an effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements.
3. AVAILABLE
FOR SALE SECURITIES:
The
Company accounts for debt and equity securities as available-for-sale securities
in accordance with ASC No. 320-10-35. Management determines the appropriate

reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax,
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of
stockholders’ equity. Interest on securities is included in interest income.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in the
accompanying consolidated statement of income.

LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES:
The liability for losses and loss

Management
is responsible for estimating the provisions for outstanding losses. An
actuarial study was independently completed and estimated that at December 31,
2009, the total outstanding losses at an expected level, are between
approximately $1,135,000 and $1,407,000. In their analysis, the actuaries have
used industry based data which may or may not be representative of the Company's
ultimate liabilities.
In the
opinion of management, the provision for losses and loss-adjustment expenses is
adequate to cover the expected ultimate liability under the insurance policies
written. However, consistent with most companies with similar operations, the
Company's estimated liability for claims is ultimately based on management's
expectations of future events. It is reasonably possible that the expectations
associated with these amounts could change in the near term (that is, within one
year) and that the effect of such changes could be material to the condensed
consolidated financial statements.

7. SECURED
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY:
ING
Financing Agreement:
On July
2, 2007, the Company entered into a loan agreement, dated as of June 30, 2007
(the “Loan Agreement”), among certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the
Company, namely, Green Acquisition, Inc., Triboro Acquisition, Inc., Jamaica
Acquisition, Inc., 165-25 147th Avenue, LLC, 49-19 Rockaway Beach Boulevard,
LLC, 85-01 24th Avenue, LLC, 114-15 Guy Brewer Boulevard, LLC, (collectively,
the “Borrowers”); and ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company; ING Life
Insurance and Annuity Company; Reliastar Life Insurance Company; and Security
Life of Denver Insurance Company (collectively, the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the
terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lenders will provide multiple loan facilities
in the amounts and on the terms and conditions set forth in such Loan Agreement.
The aggregate of all loan facilities under the Loan Agreement shall not exceed
$72.5 million. On July 2, 2007, the Borrowers made an initial term loan draw
down of $17.0 million on the facility. In addition to the initial term loan, in
October 2007, the Lenders collectively made a mortgage loan of $1.0 million and
advanced an additional $2.0 million to the Borrowers. In February 2008, there
was an additional draw under the facility of approximately $23.2 million.
Interest on the loans is paid monthly. The interest rate on both the initial
draw-down and mortgage loan is fixed at 6.59% per annum and the interest rate on
the additional draw floats at a spread over one month LIBOR, 1.65% at March 31,
2010. In addition, there is a one-tenth of one percent non-use fee on the unused
portion of the facility. The principal is payable on the maturity date July 1,
2010. The Company is currently exploring the market to replace the existing loan
agreement. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amount outstanding under
the Loan Agreement was approximately $43.2 million.
The loan
facilities are collateralized by: (1) an Assignment of Leases and Rents on four
bus depot properties (the “Depots”) owned by certain of the Borrowers and leased
to the City of New York, namely (a) 49-19 Rockaway Beach Boulevard; (b) 165-25
147th Avenue; (c) 85-01 24th Avenue and (d) 114-15 Guy Brewer Boulevard; (2)
Pledge Agreements under which (i) GTJ REIT pledged its 100% stock ownership in
each of: (a) Green Acquisition; (b) Triboro Acquisition, and (c) Jamaica
Acquisition, (ii) Green Acquisition pledged its 100% membership interest in each
of (a) 49-19 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, LLC and (b) 165-25 147th Avenue, LLC,
(iii) Triboro Acquisition pledged its 100% membership interest in 85-01 24th
Avenue, LLC, and (d) Jamaica Acquisition pledged its 100% membership interest in
114-15 Guy Brewer Boulevard, LLC, and (3) a LIBOR Cap Security Agreement under
which GTJ Rate Cap LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, pledged its
interest in an interest rate cap transaction evidenced by the Confirmation and
ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2006, with SMBC Derivative
Products Limited. The Company had assigned its interest in the interest rate cap
to GTJ Rate Cap LLC prior to entering into the Loan Agreement. The $1.0 million
mortgage loan is secured by a mortgage in the amount of $250,000 on each of the
Depots collectively.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, the fair
value of the interest rate cap associated with the debt was
insignificant.
The
credit facility is used to fund acquisitions, dividend distributions, working
capital and other general corporate purposes.
In
addition to customary non-financial covenants, the Company is obligated to
comply with certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2010, the Company is in
compliance with its non-financial and financial covenants.

Option Plan
On June
11, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2007 Incentive
Award Plan (the “Plan”). The effective date of the Plan was June 11,
2007, subject to stockholder approval. The stockholders of the Company approved
the Plan on February 7, 2008.
The Plan
covers directors, officers, key employees and consultants of the Company. The
purposes of the Plan are to further the growth, development and financial
success of the Company and to obtain and retain the services of the above
individuals considered essential to the long term success of the
Company.
The Plan
may provide for awards in the form of restricted shares, incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights. The
aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be awarded under the Plan
is 1,000,000 shares. On February 7, 2008, 55,000 options were granted to
non-employee directors and vested immediately and 200,000 options were granted
to key officers of the Company and have a three year vesting
period. All options expire ten years from the date of grant. At March
31, 2010, 255,000 options were outstanding under the Plan, of which 183,333 were
exercisable. Excluding the issuance of restricted stock
discussed below, the Company had 745,000 shares available for future issuance at
March 31, 2010.
The fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of options granted on
February 7, 2008 was $1.90 per share. The following assumptions were used for
the options granted:

Although
the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Company’s stock is not listed on an exchange and
there is no readily available market for the stock. Therefore, the Company
is not able to determine the historical volatility of its common stock. As
a result, the volatility was estimated from the historical volatilities of
the common stock of the exchange traded comparable firms of both REITs and
operating companies similar to the Company’s taxable REIT
subsidiaries.

The
aggregate intrinsic value, which represents the difference between the
price of the Company’s common stock at March 31, 2010 and the related
exercise price of the underlying options, was $0 for outstanding options
and exercisable options as of March 31,
2010.
|
As of March 31, 2010, there was
approximately $105,000 of unamortized stock compensation related to nonvested
stock option grants awarded under the Plan. The remaining unamortized
expense is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months. For the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, stock compensation expense relating
to these stock option grants was approximately $32,000 and $32,000,
respectively.
On
January 1, 2010, the Company granted $300,000 in restricted stock, which
vests over a four year period, to certain executives of the Company. The Board
of Directors is currently in the process of determining the amount of restricted
shares to be issued. Dividends paid on restricted shares are recorded as
dividends on shares of the Company’s common stock whether or not they are
vested. In accordance with ASC No. 718-10-35, the Company measures the
compensation costs for these shares as of the date of the grant and the expense
is recognized in earnings, at the grant date (for the portion that vest
immediately) or ratably over the respective vesting periods. For the three
months ended March 31, 2010 stock compensation expense relating to restricted
stock was approximately $109,000. As of March 31, 2010, there was
approximately $191,000 of unamortized stock compensation related to restricted
stock.

EQUITY (Continued):
Special
Distribution of Earnings and Profits
On August 20, 2007, the Board of
Directors of the Company declared a special distribution of accumulated earnings
and profits on the Company’s common stock of $6.40 per share of common stock,
payable in $20,000,000 of cash and 3,775,400 of the Company’s common
stock. For the purposes of the special distribution, the Company’s
common stock was valued at $11.14 per share, as indicated in the proxy
statement/prospectus dated February
9, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and disseminated to
the stockholders of the Bus Companies in connection with the March 26, 2007
special joint meeting of the stockholders of the Bus Companies at which meeting
such stockholders voted on a reorganization of those companies with and into the
Company. The special distribution aggregated approximately,
$62,060,000. The holders of the Company’s shares, and the holders of
shares of the Bus Companies, as of the close of business on
August 20, 2007, the record date for the special distribution (the
“Holders”), were eligible for the special distribution. The Holders
were required to make an election as to the amount of the Company’s shares
and/or cash the Holders wished to receive as their respective portions of the
special distribution. Holders were advised, due to the limitation of the
aggregate amount of cash available for the special distribution, that their
actual distribution might not be in the proportion of cash and the Company’s
shares they elected, but could be based on a proration of the available
cash after all elections (i.e. not on a first come-first served basis). The
Company calculated the proportion of cash and the Company’s shares that were
distributed to the Holders based upon the Holder’s election and the amount of
cash available for the special distribution.
As of
March 31, 2010, cash of approximately $19.8 million and 3,775,400 shares of the
Company’s common stock have been distributed to the Holders. The remaining
payable balance of approximately $163,000 is included in other liabilities in
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31,
2010. The cash payment was funded with borrowings under the credit
facility (see Note 7).
9. EARNINGS
PER SHARE:
In
accordance with ASC No. 260-10-45, basic earnings per common share
(“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share (“Diluted
EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of
common shares and dilutive common share equivalents and convertible securities
then outstanding. There were no common stock equivalents for any of the periods
presented in the Company's consolidated statements of income.

11. COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES:
Legal
Matters:
Appraisal
Proceedings
On March 26, 2007, there was a joint
special meeting of the shareholders of the Bus Companies. The business
considered at the meeting was the merger of: Green with and into Green
Acquisition, Inc.; Triboro with and into Triboro Acquisition, Inc.; and Jamaica
with and into Jamaica Acquisition, Inc. Appraisal rights were perfected by
shareholders of the Bus Companies who would have received approximately 303,480
shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued following the mergers. The
mergers were carried out on March 29, 2007. Consequently, the Company made good
faith offers to such shareholders based on the value of the Company’s common
share of $7.00 per share, eighty percent (80%) of which was advanced to them. On
May 25, 2007, Green Acquisition, Triboro Acquisition and Jamaica Acquisition,
commenced appraisal proceedings in Nassau County Supreme Court, as required by
the New York Business Corporation Law. Eight of the shareholders (the
“Claimants”) who sought appraisal rights (the others had either settled or
withdrawn their demands) have answered the petition filed in connection with the
appraisal proceeding and moved for pre-trial discovery. The Claimants would have
received approximately 241,272 shares of the Registrant’s common stock following
the mergers of the Bus Companies. Collectively, the Claimants have been paid
$1,351,120 (80%) pursuant to the Company’s good faith offer and would be
entitled to an additional sum of approximately $338,000 if the good faith offer
was paid in full. A hearing in this matter, which is the equivalent of a trial,
commenced on November 10, 2008. The hearing was completed in January 2009. The
Court ordered the parties to submit post-trial memoranda prior to its
consideration and ruling on the petition. The claimants were seeking sums
substantially in excess of the Company’s good faith offer. On September 29,
2009, a decision in the appraisal proceeding involving certain former
shareholders of Green Bus Lines, Inc., Triboro Coach Corporation and Jamaica
Central Railways, Inc. (collectively, the “Bus Companies”) was issued by the New
York State Supreme Court, Nassau County and on November 7, 2009 a judgment was
entered related to the decision. In the Court’s decision, the Court
determined that the equivalent of the fair value of the respondents’ shares in
the Bus Companies immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization
was equal to $11.69 per share of GTJ REIT common stock. This decision
resulted in additional payments due respondents in the aggregate amount of
approximately $1.5 million which was paid on November 19, 2009. In addition, the
Court awarded respondents 50% of their reasonable professional fees and costs,
which amounted to approximately $0.5 million and was paid on January 6, 2010.
Respondents were also awarded interest with respect to the unpaid amount due for
the fair value of their shares in the Bus Companies from the valuation date to
the payment date. The interest amounted to approximately $0.3 million and was
paid on November 19, 2009. In addition to the above, two shareholders have been
paid an aggregate of $435,457 pursuant to the good faith offer, and are not
involved in the proceeding described above. These shareholders would have
received approximately 62,208 shares.

11. COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued):
The
Company is involved in several lawsuits and other disputes which arose in
the ordinary course of business; however, management believes that these matters
will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Environmental
Matters
The Company’s real property has had
activity regarding removal and replacement of underground storage tanks. Upon
removal of the old tanks, any soil found to be unacceptable was thermally
treated off site to burn off contaminants. Fresh soil was brought in to replace
earth which had been removed. There are still some levels of contamination at
the sites, and groundwater monitoring programs have been put into place at
certain locations. In July 2006, the Company entered into an informal agreement
with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”)
whereby the Company has committed to a three-year remedial investigation and
feasibility study (the “Study”) for all site locations. In conjunction with this
informal agreement, the Company has retained the services of an environmental
engineering firm to assess the cost of the Study. The Company’s initial
engineering report had an estimated cost range with a low-end of the range of
approximately $1.4 million and a high-end range estimate of approximately $2.6
million, which provided a “worst case” scenario whereby the Company would be
required to perform full remediation on all site locations. While management
believes that the amount of the study and related remediation is likely to fall
within the estimated cost range, no amount within that range can be determined
to be the better estimate. Therefore, management believes that recognition of
the low-range estimate was appropriate.
As of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 included in other liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance (Note 6), is the estimated liability for
remediation costs of approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million,
respectively. The Company is not aware of any claims or remediation
requirements from any local, state or federal government agencies. These
properties ares in a commercial zone and are still used as transit depots,
including maintenance of vehicles.
Paratransit
Operations
In February 2008, the Company was
notified by the New York City Transit Authority (the “Authority”) that a
Request for Proposal to renew the Company’s existing paratransit service
contract after September 30, 2008 would not be considered by the Authority. As a
result of this action by the Authority, the Company exited the Paratransit
Operations business on September 30, 2008 and accordingly, the results have been
presented as discontinued operations on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements for all periods presented.
12. INVESTMENT
IN EQUITY AFFILIATES:
Joint
Ventures
The Company has entered into
joint ventures formed for the purpose of providing construction
services. These joint ventures are recorded under either the equity or cost
method of accounting as deemed appropriate. The Company records its share of the
net income and losses from the underlying investments.
In March 2010, the Company
invested approximately four hundred dollars in exchange
for a 40% interest in a consolidated joint venture with
Morales Electrical Contracting, Inc. which is a minority women owned business
enterprise that provides electrical construction services.

Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
ASC No. 825-10-50 requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of
an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. ASC
No. 825-10-65 requires the Company to disclose in the notes of its interim
financial statements as of the second quarter of 2009, as well as its annual
financial statements, the fair value of all financial instruments as required
ASC No. 825-10-50. ASC No. 825-10-65 applies to all financial
instruments within the scope of ASC No. 825-10-50.
Fair value estimates are dependent upon
subjective assumptions and involve significant uncertainties resulting in
variability in estimates with changes in assumptions. The following table

Fair
Value Measurement
The
Company determines fair value in accordance ASC No. 820-10-05 for financial
assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for
measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not
require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements.
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on
observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or
parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation
models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management
estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price
transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’
complexity.
Assets
and liabilities disclosed at fair values are categorized based upon the level of
judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC No. 820-10-35 and directly related to
the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these
assets and liabilities, are as follows:
●
|
Level 1 —
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
|
|
●
|
Level 2 —
Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either
directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through
correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration
of the instrument’s anticipated life. Level 2 inputs include quoted
market prices in markets that are not active for an identical or similar
asset or liability, and quoted market prices in active markets for a
similar asset or liability.
|
|
●
|
Level 3 —
Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. These
valuations are based on significant unobservable inputs that require a
considerable amount of judgment and assumptions. Consideration is given to
the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the
inputs to the model.
|
Determining
which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires
significant judgment and the Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each
quarter.

instrument: Fair values are approximated on current market
data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based
on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based
on well recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant
future market conditions. The value of this instrument is included in other
assets and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and
was insignificant at March 31, 2010. In accordance with ASC No. 820-10-35,
the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments in the fair values of its
derivative financial instrument to reflect counterparty nonperformance
risk.
14. SEGMENTS:

The
following discussions contain forward-looking statements that involve numerous
risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and
uncertainties, including those set forth in this report under “Forward-Looking
Statements” and in our Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2009 under “Risk Factors.” You should read the following discussion in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
appearing elsewhere in this filing.
Executive
Summary
We are a
fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment
Trust (“REIT”), engaged in the acquisition, ownership and management of real
properties. We currently own seven rentable parcels of real property, four of
which are leased to the City of New York, two of which are leased to commercial
tenants (all six on a triple net basis), and one of which a portion is leased to
a commercial tenant and the portion that was used by one of our subsidiaries is
available for lease. There is an additional property of negligible size which is
not rentable. Additionally, in connection with the Tax Relief Extension Act of
1999 (“RMA”), we are permitted to participate in activities outside the normal
operations of the REIT so long as these activities are conducted in entities
which elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended (the “Code”), subject to certain limitations. In addition, we
own a group of outdoor maintenance businesses. We will consider other
investments through taxable REIT subsidiaries should suitable opportunities
arise.
We
continue to seek opportunities to acquire stabilized properties. To the extent
it is in the interests of our stockholders, we will seek to invest in a
diversified portfolio of real properties within our geographic area that will
satisfy our primary investment objectives of providing our stockholders with
stable cash flow, preservation of capital and growth of income and principal
without taking undue risk. Because a significant factor in the valuation of
income-producing property is the potential for future income, we anticipate that
the majority of properties that we will acquire will have both the potential for
growth in value and provide for cash distributions to stockholders.
Accounting
Pronouncements
See Note
2, “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements”
of this Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion regarding recently issued accounting
pronouncements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the
reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could
differ from these estimates. Please refer to the section of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 entitled
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting
Policies" for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the three
months ended March 31, 2010, there were no material changes to these
policies. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that
management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements included in this report.
26
Revenue
Recognition-Real Estate Operations:
We
recognize revenue in accordance with ASC No. 840-20-25, which requires that
revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless
another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern
in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. In those instances
in which we fund tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned
by us, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements are substantially
completed and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant.
When we determine that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, we commence
revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to
the tenant for tenant work to begin. The properties are being leased to tenants
under operating leases. Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease.
Property
operating expense recoveries from tenants of common area maintenance, real
estate and other recoverable costs are recognized in the period the related
expenses are incurred.
Revenue
Recognition--Outside Maintenance and Shelter Cleaning Operations:
Cleaning
and maintenance revenue is recognized upon completion of the related
service.
Revenue
Recognition—Electrical Contracting Operations:
We
recognize revenues from long-term construction contracts on the
percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC No. 605-35.
Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs
incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such
contract at completion.
Accounts
Receivable:
Accounts
receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at the original invoice
amounts, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade
receivables generally do not bear interest. Trade receivables are periodically
evaluated for collectibility based on past credit histories with customers and
their current financial conditions. Changes in the estimated collectibility of
trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in
which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible
are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. We generally do not
require collateral for trade receivables.
Real
Estate Investments:
Upon the
acquisition of real estate properties, the fair value of the real estate
purchased is allocated to the acquired tangible assets (consisting of land,
buildings and building improvements) and identified intangible assets and
liabilities (consisting of above-market and below-market leases and in-place
leases) in accordance with ASC No. 805. We utilize methods similar to those used
by independent appraisers in estimating the fair value of acquired assets and
liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property
considers the value of the property "as-if-vacant." The fair value reflects the
depreciated replacement cost of the asset. In allocating purchase price to
identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, the value
of above-market and below-market leases is estimated based on the
differences between (i) contractual rentals and the estimated market rents over
the applicable lease term discounted back to the date of acquisition utilizing a
discount rate adjusted for the credit risk associated with the respective
tenants and (ii) the estimated cost of acquiring such leases giving effect to
our history of providing tenant improvements and paying leasing commissions,
offset by a vacancy period during which such space would be leased. The
aggregate value of in-place leases is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase
price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market
rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property "as-if-vacant,"
determined as set forth above.
Above and
below market leases acquired are recorded at their fair value. The capitalized
above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over
the remaining term of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market
lease values are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining
term of the respective leases. The value of in-place leases is based on our
evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. Factors
considered include estimates of carrying costs during expected lease-up periods,
current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. The value of in
place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases. If
a tenant vacates its space prior to its contractual expiration date, any
unamortized balance of the related intangible asset is expensed.
27
Asset
Impairment:
We apply the provisions of ASC
No. 360-10-05 to recognize and measure impairment of
long-lived assets. Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real
estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based
on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the
real estate investment's use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider
factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well
as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an
impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying
value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent
that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Management is required to
make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of
its real estate properties. These assessments have a direct impact on net
income, because an impairment loss is recognized in the period that the
assessment is made.
Fair
Value Measurements:
We
determine fair value in accordance with ASC No. 820-10-05 for financial
assets and liabilities. ASC No. 820-10-05 defines fair value, provides
guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This
standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to
all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements.
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market
prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable
prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These
valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment,
the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments
or market and the instruments’ complexity.
Assets
and liabilities disclosed at fair value are categorized based upon the level of
judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC No. 820-10-35 and directly related to
the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these
assets and liabilities, are as follows:
|
● |
Level 1 —
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
|
|
● |
Level 2 —
Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either
directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through
correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration
of the instrument’s anticipated life. Level 2 inputs include quoted
market prices in markets that are not active for an identical or similar
asset or liability, and quoted market prices in active markets for a
similar asset or liability.
|
|
● |
Level 3 —
Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. These
valuations are based on significant unobservable inputs that require a
considerable amount of judgment and assumptions. Consideration is given to
the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the
inputs to the model.
|
Determining
which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires
significant judgment and we evaluate its hierarchy disclosures each
quarter.
Income
Taxes:
We are
organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes. Accordingly, we will generally not be subject to federal
income taxation on that portion of our income that qualifies as REIT taxable
income, to the extent that we distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to
our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements as defined under
Section 856 through 860 of the Code.
We also
participate in certain activities conducted by entities which elected to be
treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. As such we are subject to
federal, state and local taxes on the income from these activities. We account
for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the
provisions of ASC No. 740-10-30. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates
and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We
provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not
consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
28
Investment in
Equity Affiliates:
The
Company invests in joint ventures that are formed to perform electrical
construction services. These investments are recorded under either the equity or
cost method of accounting as appropriate. The Company records its share of the
net income and losses from the underlying properties and any
other-than-temporary impairment on these investments on a single line item in
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as income or losses from
equity affiliates.
Stock-Based
Compensation:
We
have a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 8. We
account for stock based compensation in accordance with
ASC No. 718-30-30, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards
exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC No. 718-10-35,
share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair
value of the award, and the expense is recognized in earnings at the grant date
(for the portion that vests immediately) or ratably over the respective vesting
periods.

Property
Rental Revenues
Property rental revenue increased $0.1,
or 3%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $3.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in tenant reimbursements along with a new lease which was
entered into in 2009.
Outside
Maintenance, Shelter Cleaning Operations and Electrical Contracting
Revenues
Outside Maintenance, Shelter Cleaning
Operations and Electrical Contracting revenue decreased $3.1 million, or 44%, to
$4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $7.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily attributable to
the decrease in revenue from the termination of the CEMUSA, Inc. contract
on December 31, 2009 and a decrease in revenue from our traffic control services
due to the current economic environment partially offset by an increase in
electrical contracting revenue as a result of the June 2009 acquisition of
Morales.
Operating
Expenses
Operating expenses decreased $1.6
million, or 20%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from
$8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease is
primarily due to a decrease in the costs associated with the CEMUSA contract
which was terminated on December 31, 2009 and decreases in professional fees
partially offset by increases in stock compensation expense and intangible
amortization related to contracts acquired as part of the June 2009 acquisition
of Morales.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other inccome (expense) decreased
$17,000 or 4%, to $397,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from
$414,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily
due to a 3% decrease in the average cost of our borrowing from 3.82% for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 to 3.70% for the three months ended March 31,
2010 due to a reduction in average LIBOR on our floating rate debt.
Provision
for Income Taxes
We are organized and conduct our
operations to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we
are generally not subject to Federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that
we distribute to our stockholders, provided that we distribute at least 90% of
our REIT taxable income and meet certain other requirements. As of March 31,
2010 and 2009, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements and, therefore,
have not provided for Federal income tax expense on our REIT taxable income for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The REIT is subject to certain
state and local income taxes and we have provided a $4,000 income tax expense on
our REIT taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Certain of our assets that produce
non-qualifying income are owned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries, the income of
which is subject to federal and state income taxes. During the three months
ended March 31, 2010, we did not record a provision for income from these
taxable REIT subsidiaries. The provision for the three months ended March 31,
2009 was $6,000 on income from these taxable REIT subsidiaries.
Income
from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes
Income from discontinued operations,
net of taxes reflects the operating results of the Paratransit business. The
Paratransit business was discontinued as of September 30, 2008 and reflects no
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
At March 31, 2010, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $11.0 million compared to $12.9 million at December 31, 2009. The
Company funds operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements,
including debt service and dividend distributions from operating cash flows. The
Company also has used its secured revolving credit facility for these purposes.
The Company believes that its net cash provided by operations, coupled with
availability under the revolving credit, will be sufficient to fund its
short-term liquidity requirements for the next twelve months and to meet its
dividend requirements to maintain its REIT status.

Financings
On July
2, 2007, GTJ REIT entered into a loan agreement, dated as of June 30, 2007 (the
“Loan Agreement”), among GTJ REIT and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries
of GTJ REIT, namely, Green Acquisition, Inc., Triboro Acquisition, Inc. and
Jamaica Acquisition, Inc., 165-25 147th Avenue, LLC, 49-19 Rockaway Beach
Boulevard, LLC, 85-01 24th Avenue, LLC, 114-15 Guy Brewer Boulevard, LLC,
(collectively, the “Borrowers”); and ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company;
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company; Reliastar Life Insurance Company; and
Security Life Of Denver Insurance Company (collectively, “Lenders”). Pursuant to
the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lenders will provide multiple loan
facilities in the amounts and on the terms and conditions set forth in such Loan
Agreement. The aggregate of all loan facilities under the Loan Agreement shall
not exceed $72.5 million. On July 2, 2007, we made an initial term loan draw
down of $17.0 million on the facility. In addition to the initial term loan, in
October 2007, the Lenders collectively made a mortgage loan of $1.0 million and
advanced an additional $2.0 million to us. In February 2008, there was an
additional draw under the facility of approximately $23.2 million. Interest on
the loans is paid monthly. The interest rate on both the initial draw-down and
mortgage loan is fixed at 6.59% per annum and the interest rate on the
subsequent draw down floats at a spread over one month LIBOR, 1.65% at March 31,
2010. In addition, there is a one-tenth of one percent non-use fee on the unused
portion of the facility. The principal is payable on the maturity date, July 1,
2010. We are currently exploring the market to replace the existing loan
agreement. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, total outstanding under the
Loan Agreement was approximately $43.2 million.
The loan
facilities are collateralized by: (1) an Assignment of Leases and Rents on four
bus depot properties (the “Depots”) owned by certain of the Borrowers and leased
to the City of New York, namely (a) 49-19 Rockaway Beach Boulevard; (b) 165-25
147th Avenue; (c) 85-01 24th Avenue and (d) 114-15 Guy Brewer Boulevard; (2)
Pledge Agreements under which (i) the Registrant pledged its 100% stock
ownership in each of: (a) Green Acquisition, Inc.; (b) Triboro Acquisition, Inc.
and (c) Jamaica Acquisition, Inc. (ii) Green Acquisition, Inc. pledged its 100%
membership interest in each of (a) 49-19Rockaway Beach Boulevard, LLC and (b)
165-25 147th Avenue, LLC, (iii) Triboro Acquisition pledged its 100% membership
interest in 85-01 24th Avenue, LLC, and (d) Jamaica Acquisition pledged its 100%
membership interest in 114-15 Guy Brewer Boulevard, LLC, and (3) a LIBOR Cap
Security Agreement under which GTJ Rate Cap LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
GTJ REIT, pledged its interest in an interest rate cap transaction evidenced by
the Confirmation and ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2006, with
SMBC Derivative Products Limited. We had assigned our interest in the interest
rate cap to GTJ Rate Cap LLC prior to entering into the Loan Agreement. The $1.0
million mortgage loan is secured by a mortgage in the amount of $250,000 on each
of the Depots collectively.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, the fair value of the interest rate cap
associated with the debt was insignificant.
In
addition to customary non-financial covenants, we are obligated to comply with
certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2010, we are in compliance with our
non-financial and financial covenants.
Earnings
and Profit Distribution
As of
March 31, 2010, cash of approximately $19.8 million and 3,775,400 shares of our
common stock have been distributed to the Holders in connection with a one-time
special distribution of accumulated earnings and profits. The remaining payable
balance of approximately $163,000 is included in other liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2010. Cash payments were
funded from borrowings under our credit facility.

primarily related to (i) income from continuing operations of $1.9 million (ii)
a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.2 million (iii) an
increase in accounts receivable of $0.6 million (iv) depreciation and
amortization expense of $0.3 million (v) a decrease in insurance
reserves of $0.1 million and (vi) an increase in other assets of $1.4
million.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in investing activities was approximately $0.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 versus net cash provided by investing activities of
approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the
2010 period, cash used in investing activities primarily related to purchases of
property, equipment and investment of approximately $0.3 million and proceeds
from the sale of investments of approximately $0.1 million. For the 2009 period,
cash provided by investing activities primarily related
to proceeds from the sale of investments of approximately $0.8 million and
purchases of property, equipment and investments of $0.2 million.
Financing
Activities
Cash used
in financing activities was approximately $2.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and was related to the payment of the Company’s quarterly
and supplemental dividends. Net cash used in financing activities for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $1.1 million and was
related to the payment of dividends.
Funds
from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
We
consider Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations
(“AFFO”), each of which are non-GAAP measures, to be additional measures of an
equity REIT’s operating performance. We report FFO in addition to our
net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Management
has adopted the definition suggested by The National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and defines FFO to mean net income computed in
accordance with GAAP excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus real
estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for
unconsolidated joint ventures.
Management
considers FFO a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because
it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of our real estate assets
diminishes predictably over time and industry analysts have accepted it as a
performance measure. FFO is presented to assist investors in
analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items
included in net income that are not indicative of our operating performance,
such as gains (or losses) from sales of property and depreciation and
amortization.
●
|
does
not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP
(which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions
and other events in the determination of net income);
and
|
|
●
|
should
not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our
performance.
|
In
determining AFFO we do not consider the operations of our taxable REIT
subsidiaries (outside maintenance and shelter cleaning operations) as part of
our real estate operations and therefore exclude the net income or net loss when
arriving at AFFO. This is the one difference between our definition of AFFO and
the NAREIT definition of FFO, which includes net income or net loss from taxable
REIT subsidiaries.
32
FFO and
AFFO as defined by us may not be comparable to similarly titled items reported
by other real estate investment trusts due to possible differences in the
application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs. The
following table provides a reconciliation of net income in accordance with GAAP
to FFO and AFFO for each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in
thousands except for share and per share data):

Acquisitions
On June
30, 2009, we through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Shelter Electric Maintenance
Corp. and Shelter Electric Acquisition Subsidiary LLC, (collectively, “Shelter
Electric”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase
Agreement”) with Morales Electrical Contracting, Inc. (“Morales”), a Valley
Stream, New York based electrical construction company, pursuant to which
Morales sold certain of its assets and assigned certain contracts and employees
to Shelter Electric for approximately $1.0 million. The acquisition was funded
using our cash.
Pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement, Shelter Electric purchased these assets, free and clear of
all liens and other encumbrances, in consideration for the payment of
approximately $1.0 million, consisting primarily of the satisfaction and payment
of certain liabilities of Morales. The $1.0 million purchase price was allocated
to identifiable intangible assets with approximately $0.3 million allocated to
the contracts assumed, $0.4 million allocated to the non-compete agreement, $0.2
million allocated to customer relationships and $0.1 million allocated to
goodwill. Shelter Electric will also provide a line of credit of up to
approximately $0.6 million, through a Credit and Security Agreement to finance
the completion of two contracts currently in progress. In addition, the former
Vice President of Morales has been employed by Shelter to manage and expand the
electrical construction operations. The employment is subject to usual and
customary conditions and restrictive covenants.
On
March 29, 2010, we invested approximately four hundred dollars in exchange for a
40% interest in a joint venture with Morales, a Minority Women Owned Business
Enterprise ("MWBE"). The joint venture was formed to secure MWBE contracts
for the purpose of providing electrical construction services.
Cash
Payments for Financing
Payment
of interest under the $72.5 million credit facility, and under permanent
mortgages, will consume a portion of our cash flow, reducing net income and the
resulting distributions to be made to the stockholders of GTJ REIT.
Trend
in Financial Resources
Other
than the credit facility discussed above under ING Financing Agreement, we can
expect to receive additional rent payments over time due to scheduled increases
in rent set forth in the leases on our real properties. It should be noted,
however, that the additional rent payments are expected to result in an
approximately equal obligation to make additional distributions to stockholders,
and will therefore not result in a material increase in working
capital.
Environmental
Matters
Our real
property has had activity regarding removal and replacement of underground
storage tanks. Upon removal of the old tanks, any soil found to be unacceptable
was thermally treated off site to burn off contaminants. Fresh soil was brought
in to replace earth which had been removed. There are still some levels of
contamination at the sites, and groundwater monitoring programs have been put
into place at certain locations. In July 2006, we entered into an informal
agreement with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
("NYSDEC") whereby we have committed to a three-year remedial investigation and
feasibility study (the "Study") for all site locations.
33
In
conjunction with this informal agreement, we have retained the services of an
environmental engineering firm to assess the cost of the Study. The Company's
initial engineering report had an estimated cost range with a low-end of the
range of approximately $1.4 million and a high-end range estimate of
approximately $2.6-million which provided a "worst case" scenario
whereby the Company would be required to perform full remediation on
all site locations. While management believes that the amount of the Study and
related remediation is likely to fall within the estimated cost range, no amount
within that range can be determined to be the better estimate. Therefore,
management believes that recognition of the low-range estimate is appropriate.
While additional costs associated with environmental remediation and monitoring
are probable, it is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the amount
of any future obligation until the Study has been completed. In May 2008, we
received an updated draft of the remedial and investigation feasibility study
and recorded an additional accrual of approximately $0.9 million for additional
remediation costs. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have recorded
a liability for remediation costs of approximately $1.0 million and $1.1
million, respectively. Presently, we are not aware of any claims or remediation
requirements from any local, state or federal government agencies. Each of the
properties is in a commercial zone and is still used as transit depots,
including maintenance of vehicles.
Inflation
Low to
moderate levels of inflation during the past several years have favorably
impacted our operations by stabilizing operating expenses. At the same time, low
inflation has had the indirect effect of reducing our ability to increase tenant
rents. However, our properties have tenants whose leases include expense
reimbursements and other provisions to minimize the effect of inflation.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of March 31,
2010.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
The
primary market risk facing us is interest rate risk on our variable-rate
mortgage loan payable and secured revolving credit facility. We will, when
advantageous, hedge our interest rate risk using derivative financial
instruments. We are not subject to foreign currency risk.
We are
exposed to interest rate changes primarily through the secured
floating-rate revolving credit facility used to maintain liquidity, fund capital
expenditures and expand the real estate investment portfolio. Our objective with
respect to interest rate risk is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on
operations and cash flows, and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve
these objectives, we may borrow at fixed rates and may enter into derivative
financial instruments such as interest rate caps in order to mitigate our
interest rate risk on our variable-rate borrowings.
Based on
our variable rate liabilities as of March 31, 2010 and assuming the
balances of these variable rate liabilities remain unchanged for the subsequent
twelve months, a 1.0% increase in our borrowing rate index would decrease our
net income and cash flows by approximately $0.3 million. Based on our variable
rate liabilities as of March 31, 2010 and assuming the balances of these
variable rate liabilities remain unchanged for the subsequent twelve months, a
1.0% decrease in our borrowing rate index would increase our net income and cash
flows by approximately $0.1 million.
At
December 31, 2009, a 1.0% increase in our borrowing rate index would have
decreased our net income and cash flows by approximately $0.3 million. At
December 31, 2009, a 1.0% decrease in our borrowing rate index would have
increased our net income and cash flows by approximately $0.1
million.
As of
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have one interest rate cap
outstanding with a notional value of $54.0 million. The market value of this
interest rate cap is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap
spreads, which change over time. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, given a 100 basis point increase or decrease in forward interest rates,
the change in value of this interest rate cap would be
insignificant.
Our
hedging transactions using derivative instruments also involve certain
additional risks such as counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging
contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest
rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. The counterparties
to our derivative arrangements are major financial institutions with high credit
ratings with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial
relationships. As a result, we do not anticipate that any of these
counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks and will
ultimately realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred
in connection with engaging in such hedging strategies.
34
We
utilize an interest rate cap to limit interest rate risk. Derivatives are used
for hedging purposes rather than speculation. We do not enter into financial
instruments for trading purposes.
Item
4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As required by Rule 13a-15(b)
under the Exchange Act, management, under the direction of our Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an
evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as
of the end of the period covered by this report. During our review we determined
that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term
is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15-d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the
most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The
Company continues, however, to implement suggestions from its independent
accounting consultant on ways to strengthen existing controls.
