FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions created thereby. For this purpose, any statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “continue,” “can,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, any statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods.

 

The forward-looking statements included herein represent our management’s current expectations and assumptions based on information available as of the date of this report. These statements involve numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Readers should carefully review these risks, as well as the additional risks described in other documents we file from time-to-time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such results will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking information, which speak only as of the date of this report.

 

Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time-to-time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual future results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. The following are some, but not all, of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements:

 

We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms or at all.
We are subject to risks associated with tenant, geographic and industry concentrations with respect to our properties.
Our properties, intangible assets and other assets may be subject to impairment charges.
We could be subject to unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise from potential dispositions of properties and may be unable to dispose such properties on advantageous terms.
We are subject to competition in the acquisition and disposition of properties and in the leasing of our properties and we may be unable to acquire, dispose of, or lease properties on advantageous terms.
We could be subject to risks associated with bankruptcies or insolvencies of tenants or from tenant defaults generally.
We have substantial indebtedness, which may affect our ability to pay distributions, and expose us to interest rate fluctuation risk and the risk of default under our debt obligations.
We may be affected by the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured debt.
We may not be able to attain or maintain profitability.
Cash for distributions to investors will be from net rental income (including sales of properties) or waiver or deferral of reimbursements to our Sponsor or fees paid to our Advisor.
We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay our distributions to stockholders or meet our debt service obligations.
We may be affected by risks resulting from losses in excess of insured limits.
We may fail to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by an ongoing investigation by the SEC.
We are dependent upon our Advisor which has the right to terminate the advisory agreement upon 60 days’ written notice without cause or penalty.

 

Our forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in light of the risk factors identified above and the additional risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

 

RW Holdings NNN REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 14, 2015 as a Maryland corporation. The Company was originally incorporated under the name Rich Uncles Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., but changed its name on October 19, 2015 to Rich Uncles NNN REIT, Inc. and again on August 14, 2017 to its present name RW Holdings NNN REIT, Inc. The Company has the authority to issue 450,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 50,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, 300,000,000 shares of Class C common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 100,000,000 shares of Class S common stock, $0.001 par value per share. The minimum investment in shares is $500. The Company was formed to primarily invest, directly or indirectly through investments in real estate owning entities, in single-tenant income-producing corporate properties located in the United States, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases. The Company’s goal is to generate current income for investors and long-term capital appreciation in the value of its properties.

 

The Company holds its investments in real property through special purpose wholly-owned limited liability companies, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Rich Uncles NNN Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership) or through the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership was formed on January 28, 2016. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a 99% partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. Rich Uncles NNN LP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on May 13, 2016 (“NNN LP”), owns the remaining 1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is the sole limited partner. NNN LP is wholly-owned by the Company.

 

The Company is externally managed by its advisor, Rich Uncles NNN REIT Operator, LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to an advisory agreement, as amended (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor is wholly owned by the Company’s sponsor, BrixInvest, LLC (f/k/a Rich Uncles, LLC, the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company whose members include Harold Hofer and Ray Wirta. On each of June 24, 2015 and December 31, 2015, the Company issued 10,000 shares of its Class C common stock to the Sponsor for a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

 

On July 15, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register an initial public offering of a maximum of 90,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Primary Offering”). The Company also registered a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “Registered DRP Offering” and, together with the Primary Offering, the “Registered Offering”). The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on June 1, 2016 and on July 20, 2016, the Company began offering shares of common stock to the public. Pursuant to its securities offering registered with the SEC, the Company sells shares of its “Class C” common stock directly to investors, currently at a purchase price of $10.05 per share, with a minimum investment in shares of $500. Commencing in August 2017, the Company began selling shares of its Class C common stock only to U.S. persons as defined under Rule 903 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

On August 11, 2017, the Company began offering up to 100,000,000 shares of its Class S common stock exclusively to non-U.S. Persons as defined under Rule 903 promulgated under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act (the “Class S Offering” and, together with the Registered Offering, the “Offerings”). The Class S common stock has similar features and rights as the Class C common stock, including with respect to voting and liquidation except that the Class S common stock offered in the Class S offering may be sold through brokers or other persons who may be paid upfront and deferred selling commissions and fees. On January 18, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved and established an estimated NAV per share of the Company’s common stock of $10.05. Effective January 19, 2018, the purchase price per share of the Company’s common stock increased from $10.00 to $10.05.

 

Through March 31, 2018, the Company had sold 10,484,196 shares of Class C common stock in the Registered Offering, including 444,514 shares of Class C common stock sold under its Registered DRP Offering, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $104,892,549, and 3,065 shares of Class S common stock in the Class S Offering, including 65 shares of Class S common stock sold under its dividend reinvestment plan applicable to Class S common stock, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $30,654.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 3, 2018.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, necessary to fairly state its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2017 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash is comprised of funds which are restricted for use as required by certain lenders in conjunction with an acquisition or debt financing and for in site and tenant improvements.

 

Pursuant to lease agreements, the Company has obligations to pay for $1,778,649 in site and tenant improvements to be incurred by tenants as of March 31, 2018, including a 72.7% share of the tenant improvements for the Santa Clara property. At March 31, 2018, the Company had $805,416 of restricted cash held to fund the improvements.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

For all periods presented, other comprehensive income (loss) is the same as net income (loss).

 

Per Share Data

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock equals basic earnings per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company has presented earnings per share amounts on the accompanying statements of operations for Class C and S share classes as a combined common share class. Application of the two-class method for allocating earnings (loss) in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings per Share, would have resulted in a net loss per share of $(0.00) for Class C shares and $(0.05) for Class S shares for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The differences in net income (loss) per share if allocated under this method primarily reflects the lower effective dividends per share for Class S shareholders as a result of the payment of the deferred commission to the Class S distributor of these shares, and also reflects the impact of the timing of the declaration of the dividends relative to the time the shares were outstanding. The Company began offering shares of Class S common stock exclusively to non-U.S. Persons in August 2017.

 

Since our board of directors declared distributions for four months (December 2017 through March 2018) during the three months ended March 31, 2018 in order to transition to a process of declaring dividends prior to the beginning of the month, the dividends declared per common share reflects four months of dividends rather than three months of dividends.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

New Accounting Standard Issued and Adopted

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09, as amended, requires an entity to use a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue from customer contracts in an effort to increase consistency and comparability throughout global capital markets and across industries. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. This ASU requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also to provide certain additional disclosures. The Company evaluated each of its revenue streams and their related accounting policies under ASU 2014-09. Rental income and tenant recoveries earned from leasing the Company’s real estate properties are excluded from ASU 2014-09 and will be assessed with the adoption of the lease ASU as discussed below. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. However, future real estate sales contracts will qualify as sales to noncustomers. The Company will assess and implement any future recognition of gains or losses on sales of properties according to the provisions of ASU 2014-09.

New Accounting Standard Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in ASU 2016-02 change the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. Under ASU 2016-02, the accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under Topic 840 leases. The large majority of operating leases shall remain classified as operating leases and lessors should continue to recognize rental income for those leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 may impact the timing, recognition, presentation and disclosures related to the Company’s tenant recoveries earned from leasing its real estate properties, although the Company does not expect a significant impact. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company expects to adopt the practical expedients available for implementation under ASU 2016-02. By adopting the practical expedients, the Company will not be required to reassess (i) whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease and (ii) the lease classification at the adoption date for expired or existing leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new disclosures within the notes to its consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 and the Company intends to consider industry practice and potential updates to ASU 2016-02.

TIC

 

On September 28, 2017, the Company acquired an approximate 72.7% TIC interest in the Santa Clara property. The remaining approximate 27.3% of undivided interest in the Santa Clara property is held by Hagg Lane II, LLC (an approximate 23.4%) and Hagg Lane III, LLC (an approximate 3.9%). The manager of Hagg Lane II, LLC and Hagg Lane III, LLC is a board member of the Sponsor. The Santa Clara property does not qualify as a variable interest entity and consolidation is not required as the Company does not control the TIC. Therefore, the Company accounts for its interest in the TIC using the equity method. The Company receives approximately 72.7% of the cash flow distributions and recognizes approximately 72.7% of the results of operations.

(1)Contractual interest rate represents the interest rate in effect under the mortgage note payable as of March 31, 2018. Effective interest rate is calculated as the actual interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2018 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of the interest rate swap, if applicable). For further information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments (see Note 7).

  

(2)The loans on each of the Williams Sonoma and Wyndham properties (collectively, the “Property”) located in Summerlin, Nevada were originated by Nevada State Bank (“Bank”). The loans are collateralized by a deed of trust and a security agreement with assignment of rents and fixture filing. In addition, the individual loans are subject to a cross collateralization and cross default agreement whereby any default under, or failure to comply with the terms of any one or both of the loans is an event of default under the terms of both loans. The value of the Property must be in an amount sufficient to maintain a loan to value ratio of no more than 60%. If the loan to value ratio is ever more than 60%, the borrower shall, upon the Bank’s written demand, reduce the principal balance of the loans so that the loan to value ratio is no more than 60%.

 

(3)

On March 27, 2018, the Company refinanced the mortgage loan for $14,575,000 through a nonaffiliated lender with interest rate based on: 4.84% for the first five years and the greater of 4.60% or 5-Year Treasury Constant Maturity plus 2.5 % for the second five years. The loan is secured by the AvAir property and it matures on March 27, 2028.

 

Unsecured Credit Facility

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company, together with the Operating Partnership and Rich Uncles NNN LP, LLC (“Borrowers”), entered into a Business Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (the “New Credit Facility”) with Pacific Mercantile Bank (“Lender”). The New Credit Facility replaced the $12,000,000 unsecured line of credit with Lender, which expired on January 26, 2018 (the “Former Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility is a revolving unsecured line of credit for a maximum principal amount of $9,000,000 and matures on January 26, 2019, unless earlier terminated.  Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, Borrowers pay a variable rate of interest on outstanding amounts equal to one (1) percentage point over an independent index published in The Wall Street Journal based on the highest rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the largest banks (the “Index”). Based upon the Index as of the date of the New Credit Facility, the initial interest rate under the New Credit Facility was 5.50% and is currently 5.75%.

 

The New Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, which are substantially similar to those in the Former Credit Facility. The Company’s ability to borrow under the New Credit Facility will be subject to its ongoing compliance with various affirmative and negative covenants, including with respect to indebtedness, guaranties, mergers and asset sales, liens, dividends, corporate existence and financial reporting obligations.

 

The New Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due, violation of covenants, breaches of representations or warranties and change of ownership. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Lender may accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility and exercise other remedies subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of an applicable cure period.

 

The New Credit Facility is secured by guaranties executed by Raymond E. Wirta, Chairman of the Board of the Company, a trust belonging to Mr. Wirta, Harold C. Hofer, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and a trust belonging to Mr. Hofer, each in the amount of $9,000,000. Such guaranties become effective upon certain triggering events, including an event of default under the New Credit Facility and the failure by Borrowers to pay one or more subsequent advances within 90 days of disbursement.

 

As of March 31, 2018, the New Credit Facility has total outstanding borrowings of $9,000,000. As of December 31, 2017, the Former Credit Facility had total outstanding borrowings of $12,000,000.

 

All Debt Agreements

 

Pursuant to the terms of mortgage notes payable on certain of the Company’s properties and the New Credit Facility, the Company and/or the Borrowers are subject to certain financial loan covenants. The Company and/or the Borrowers were in compliance with all terms and conditions of the applicable loan agreements as of March 31, 2018.

NOTE 7. INTEREST RATE SWAP DERIVATIVES

 

The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

 

The Company enters into interest rate swaps as a fixed rate payer to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate mortgage notes payable. The value of interest rate swaps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the applicable instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of the fixed rate payer position and decrease the value of the variable rate payer position. As the remaining life of the interest rate swap decreases, the value of both positions will generally move towards zero.

 

In June 2017, the Company (or its wholly-owned limited liability company subsidiaries) entered into interest rate swap agreements with amortizing notional amounts relating to two of its mortgage notes payable. The notional amount is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

 

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:

 

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, purchase and other deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities, due to affiliates and share repurchases payable:  These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.

 

Unsecured credit facility: The fair value of the Company’s unsecured credit facility approximates its carrying value as the interest rate is variable. The balance approximates its fair value due to the short maturity of this facility.

 

Mortgage notes payable:  The fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.

  

The following were the face value, carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable: 

 

    March 31, 2018     December 31, 2017  
    Face Value     Carrying
Value
    Fair Value     Face value     Carrying

Disclosures of the fair values of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and require a significant amount of judgment. The actual value could be materially different from the Company’s estimate of value.

(1) To the extent the Advisor elects, in its sole discretion, to defer all or any portion of its monthly asset management fee, the Advisor will be deemed to have waived, not deferred, that portion up to 0.025% of the total investment value of the Company’s assets.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Advisor waived $0 and $27,824, respectively, of asset management fees, which are not subject to future recoupment by the Advisor. In addition to amounts presented in this table, the Company also incurred asset management fees to the Advisor of $47,984 related to its TIC interest in the Santa Clara property during the three months ended March 31, 2018 which amount is reflected as a reduction of income recognized from investments in unconsolidated entities.

 

(2)The Company records payroll costs related to Company employees that answer questions from prospective stockholders. The Sponsor has agreed to reimburse the Company for these investor relations payroll costs which the Sponsor considers to be offering expenses in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. The expense reimbursements from the Sponsor for the three months ended March 31, 2018 included $48,422 of employment related legal fees which the Sponsor also agreed to reimburse the Company. The receivables related to these costs are reflected in “Due from affiliates” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

(3)As of March 31, 2018, the Sponsor had incurred $7,250,015 of organizational and offering costs on behalf of the Company. However, the Company is only obligated to reimburse the Sponsor for such organizational and offering expenses to the extent of 3% of gross offering proceeds.

 

Organizational and Offering Expenses

 

The Company is obligated to reimburse the Sponsor or its affiliates for organizational and offering expenses (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) paid by the Sponsor on behalf of the Company. The Company will reimburse the Sponsor for organizational and offering expenses up to 3.0% of gross offering proceeds. The Sponsor and affiliates will be responsible for any organizational and offering expenses to the extent they exceed 3.0% of gross offering proceeds. As of March 31, 2018, the Sponsor has incurred organizational and offering expenses in excess of 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds received by the Company. To the extent the Company has more gross offering proceeds from future stockholders, the Company will be obligated to reimburse the Sponsor. As the amount of future gross offering proceeds is uncertain, the amount the Company is obligated to reimburse to the Sponsor is uncertain. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has reimbursed the Sponsor $3,136,814 in organizational and offering costs. The Company’s maximum liability for organizational and offering costs through March 31, 2018 was $3,153,706, of which $16,892 was payable as of March 31, 2018 and is included in “Due to Affiliates” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Investor Relations Payroll Expense Reimbursement from Sponsor

 

The Company employs investor personnel that answer inquiries from potential investors regarding the Company and/or its Registered Offering. The payroll expense associated with the investor relations personnel is reimbursed by the Sponsor. The Sponsor considers these payroll costs to be offering expenses.

 

Acquisition Fees

 

The Company shall pay the Advisor a fee in an amount equal to 3.0% of the contract purchase price of the Company’s properties, as defined, as acquisition fees. The total of all acquisition fees and acquisition expenses shall be reasonable and shall not exceed 6.0% of the contract price of the property.  However, a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction may approve fees in excess of these limits if they determine the transaction to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

 

Asset Management Fee

 

The Company shall pay to the Advisor as compensation for the advisory services rendered to the Company, a monthly fee in an amount equal to 0.1% of the total investment value, as defined (the “Asset Management Fee”), as of the end of the preceding month. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable monthly on the last day of such month, or the first business day following the last day of such month. The Asset Management Fee, which must be reasonable in the determination of the Company’s independent directors at least annually, may or may not be taken, in whole or in part as to any year, in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset Management Fee not paid as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.

Additionally, to the extent the Advisor elects, in its sole discretion, to defer all or any portion of its monthly Asset Management Fee, the Advisor will be deemed to have waived, not deferred, that portion of its monthly Asset Management Fee that is up to 0.025% of the total investment value of the Company’s assets. The total amount of asset management fees incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $401,315 and $111,298, respectively, of which $0 and $27,824, respectively, was waived. Asset management fees payable at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $460,389 and $567,661, respectively.

 

Financing Coordination Fee

 

Other than with respect to any mortgage or other financing related to a property concurrent with its acquisition, if the Advisor or an affiliate provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the post-acquisition financing or refinancing of any debt that the Company obtains relative to a property, then the Company shall pay to the Advisor or such affiliate a financing coordination fee equal to 1.0% of the amount of such financing.

 

Property Management Fees

 

If the Advisor or any of its affiliates provides a substantial amount of the property management services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) for the Company’s properties, then the Company shall pay to the Advisor or such affiliate a property management fee equal to 1.5% of gross revenues from the properties managed. The Company also will reimburse the Advisor and any of its affiliates for property-level expenses that such person pays or incurs on behalf of the Company, including salaries, bonuses and benefits of persons employed by such person, except for the salaries, bonuses and benefits of persons who also serve as one of the Company’s executive officers or as an executive officer of such person. The Advisor or its affiliate may subcontract the performance of its property management duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracts for these services.

 

Disposition Fees

 

For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties, the Company shall pay to its Advisor or one of its affiliates 3.0% of the contract sales price, as defined, of each property sold; provided, however, that if, in connection with such disposition, commissions are paid to third parties unaffiliated with the Company’s Advisor or its affiliates, the disposition fees paid to its Advisor, its Sponsor, their affiliates and unaffiliated third parties may not exceed the lesser of the competitive real estate commission or 6% of the contract sales price. There were no disposition fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Subordinated Participation Fees

 

The Company shall pay to the Advisor or an affiliate a subordinated participation fee calculated as of December 31 of each year and paid (if at all) in the immediately following January. The subordinated participation fee is only due if the Preferred Return, as defined, is achieved and is equal to the sum of (using terms as defined in the Advisory Agreement):

 

  (i) 30% of the product of (a) the difference of (x) the Preliminary NAV per share minus (y) the Highest Prior NAV per share, multiplied by (b) the number of shares outstanding as of December 31 of the relevant annual period, but only if this results in a positive number, plus

 

  (ii) 30% of the product of: (a) the amount by which aggregate distributions to stockholders during the annual period, excluding return of capital distributions, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the annual period, exceed the Preferred Return, multiplied by (b) the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the annual period calculated on a monthly-basis.

 

The Company announced that the amount of the subordinated participation fee of $315,802 at December 31, 2017 would be paid by issuing 6,075 Class C common shares to its Advisor with the balance being paid in cash. However, it was subsequently determined that such fee would be paid entirely in cash and such cash payment was made during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Leasing Commission Fees

 

If a property or properties of the Company becomes unleased and the Advisor or any of its affiliates provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the Company’s leasing of a property or properties to unaffiliated third parties, then the Company shall pay to the Advisor or such affiliate leasing commissions equal to 6.0% of the rents due pursuant to such lease for the first ten years of the lease term; provided, however (i) if the term of the lease is less than ten years, such commission percentage will apply to the full term of the lease and (ii) any rents due under a renewal of a lease of an existing tenant upon expiration of the initial lease agreement (including any extensions provided for thereunder) shall accrue a commission of 3.0% in lieu of the aforementioned 6.0% commission. There were no leasing commission fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Under the Company’s charter, total operating expenses of the Company are limited to the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters (the “2%/25% Limitation”). If the Company exceeds the 2%/25% Limitation, the Advisor must reimburse the Company the amount by which the aggregate total operating expenses exceeds the limitation, or the Company must obtain a waiver from the Company’s conflicts committee. For purposes of determining the 2%/25% Limitation amount, “average invested assets” means the average monthly book value of the Company’s assets invested directly or indirectly in equity interests and loans secured by real estate during the 12-month period before deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts or other non-cash reserves. “Total operating expenses” means all expenses paid or incurred by the Company, as determined by GAAP, that are in any way related to the Company’s operation including asset management fees, but excluding (a) the expenses of raising capital such as organization and offering expenses, legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other fees, printing and other such expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer, listing and registration of shares of the Company’s common stock; (b) interest payments; (c) taxes; (d) non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves; (e) reasonable incentive fees based upon increases in NAV per share; (f) acquisition fees and acquisition expenses (including expenses, relating to potential investments that the Company does not close); and (h) disposition fees on the sale of real property and other expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition and ownership of real estate interests or other property (other than disposition fees on the sale of assets other than real property), including the costs of insurance premiums, legal services, maintenance, repair and improvement of real property. The Company is in compliance with the 2/25% Limitation for operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2018.

 

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Economic Dependency

 

The Company depends on its Sponsor and its Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company’s shares of common stock, the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Environmental

 

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the property could result in future environmental liabilities.

 

Tenant Improvements

 

Pursuant to lease agreements, the Company has obligations to pay for $1,778,649 in site and tenant improvements to be incurred by tenants as of March 31, 2018, including a 72.7% share of the tenant improvements for the Santa Clara property. At March 31, 2018, the Company had $805,416 of restricted cash held to fund the improvements.

 

Redemption of Common Stock

 

Following the Company’s board of directors’ determination of its Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and NAV per share on January 18, 2018, the maximum amount that may be repurchased per month is limited to no more than 2% of the Company’s most recently determined aggregate NAV. Repurchases for any calendar quarter will be limited to no more than 5% of its most recently determined aggregate NAV. The foregoing repurchase limitations are based on “net repurchases” during a quarter or month, as applicable. Thus, for any given calendar quarter or month, the maximum amount of repurchases during that quarter or month will be equal to (1) 5% or 2% (as applicable) of the Company’s most recently determined aggregate NAV, plus (2) proceeds from sales of new shares in the Registered Offering and Class S Offering (including purchases pursuant to its Registered DRP Offering) since the beginning of a current calendar quarter or month, less (3) repurchase proceeds paid since the beginning of the current calendar quarter or month.

 

The Company has the discretion to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased in a particular month or quarter, or to repurchase no shares at all, in the event that it lacks readily available funds to do so due to market conditions beyond the Company’s control, its need to main liquidity for its operations or because the Company determines that investing in real property or other illiquid investments is a better use of its capital than repurchasing its shares. In the event that the Company repurchases some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase in a given period, shares submitted for repurchase during such period will be repurchased on a pro rata basis. In addition, the Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program without stockholder approval upon 30 days’ notice if its directors believe such action is in the Company and its stockholders’ best interests.  The Company’s board of directors may also amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program due to changes in law or regulation, or if the board of directors becomes aware of undisclosed material information that the Company believes should be publicly disclosed before shares are repurchased

 

Legal Matters

 

From time-to-time, the Company may become party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Other than as discussed below, the Company is not a party to any legal proceeding, nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.

 

The SEC is conducting an investigation related to the advertising and sale of securities by the Company in connection with the Registered Offering. The investigation is a non-public fact-finding inquiry. It is neither an allegation of wrongdoing nor a finding that violations of law have occurred. In connection with the investigation, the Company and certain affiliates have received and responded to subpoenas from the SEC requesting documents and other information related to the Company and the Registered Offering. The SEC’s investigation is ongoing. The Company has cooperated and intends to continue to cooperate with the SEC in this matter. The Company is unable to predict the likely outcome of the investigation or determine its potential impact, if any, on the Company.

Acquisitions

 

On April 4, 2018, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, completed the acquisition of an office property with approximately 87,230 square feet located in Nashville, Tennessee leased on a triple net basis to Cummins, Inc.

The property’s lease expires on February 28, 2023 and includes three five-year renewal options to extend the expiration date. The property is expected to generate $6,840,084 in total rental revenue over the course of its remaining lease term. The seller of the property was not affiliated with the Company or its affiliates. The Company obtained an $8,350,000 mortgage loan through a nonaffiliated lender. The loan is secured by the Cummins property. The mortgage loan has a variable interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures on April 4, 2023. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on this mortgage loan at 5.155%.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 3, 2018. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Overview

 

We were formed on May 14, 2015 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be treated as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016 and we intend to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes thereafter. We intend to invest primarily in single tenant income-producing corporate properties which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases. Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate will generally constitute acquiring fee title or interests in entities that own and operate real estate. We will make substantially all acquisitions of our real estate investments directly through Rich Uncles NNN Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Operating Partnership”) or indirectly through limited liability companies or limited partnerships, including through other REITs, or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, tenants-in-common, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with other owners of properties, affiliates of our Advisor or other persons.

 

We consider our Company to be a perpetual-life investment vehicle because we have no finite date for liquidation and no intention to list our shares of common stock for trading on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter trading market. Although we have registered a fixed number of shares for the Registered Offering (as defined below), we intend to effectively conduct a continuous offering of an unlimited amount of our shares of common stock over an unlimited time period by conducting an uninterrupted series of additional public offerings, subject to regulatory approval of our filings for such additional offerings, and one or more offerings exempt from the registration statement requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), such as our Class S Offering. This perpetual-life structure is aligned with our overall objective of investing in real estate assets with a long-term view towards making regular cash distributions and generating capital appreciation.

 

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is externally managed by our advisor, Rich Uncles NNN REIT Operator, LLC (our “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by our sponsor, BrixInvest, LLC (f/k/a Rich Uncles, LLC, our “Sponsor”), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement between us, our Advisor and our Sponsor (the “Advisory Agreement”). Our Advisor manages our operations and will manage our portfolio of core real estate properties and real estate related assets. Our Advisor also provides asset-management and other administrative services on our behalf. Our Advisor is paid certain fees as set forth in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We have investor relations personnel, but all expenses are reimbursed by our Sponsor as part of the organizational and offering services they provide to us to manage our organization and the Registered Offering and to provide administrative investor relations. However, our Sponsor is then entitled to include the reimbursement of such expenses as part of our reimbursement to them of organization and offering costs, but reimbursement shall not exceed an amount equal to 3% of gross offering proceeds.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

On June 24, 2015, our Sponsor purchased 10,000 shares of common stock for $100,000 and became the initial stockholder. Our Sponsor purchased another 10,000 shares of common stock on December 31, 2015 for $100,000. On July 15, 2015, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to register an initial public offering to offer a maximum of 90,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Primary Offering”). We also registered a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “Registered DRP Offering” and together with the Primary Offering, the “Registered Offering”). The SEC declared our registration effective on June 1, 2016 and we commenced the sale of our shares to the public on July 20, 2016. Pursuant to our Registered Offering, we do not retain a broker-dealer to offer our shares. Rather, we offer shares of our Class C common stock directly to the public and, commencing in August 2017, we began selling shares of our Class C common stock only to U.S. Persons as defined under Rule 903 promulgated under the Securities Act. On January 18, 2018, our board of directors approved and established an estimated NAV per share of the Company’s common stock of $10.05. Effective January 19, 2018, the purchase price per share of the Company’s common stock increased from $10.00 to $10.05.

 

On August 11, 2017, we began offering up to 100,000,000 shares of Class S common stock exclusively to non-U.S. Persons as defined under Rule 903 promulgated under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act (the “Class S Offering” and, together with the Registered Offering, the “Offerings”). The Class S common stock has similar features and rights as the Class C common stock, including with respect to voting and liquidation except that the Class S common stock offered in the Class S Offering may be sold through brokers or other persons who may be paid upfront and deferred selling commissions and fees.

 

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offerings to acquire and manage a portfolio of real estate investments. We intend to invest primarily in single tenant income-producing corporate properties which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases. While our focus is on single tenant net leased properties, we plan to diversify our portfolio by geography, investment size and investment risk with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income-producing real estate investments that provides attractive and stable returns to our stockholders. Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate will generally constitute acquiring fee title or interest in entities that own and operate real estate.

 

Our investment objectives and policies may be amended or changed at any time by our board of directors. Although we have no plans at this time to change any of our investment objectives, our board of directors may change any and all such investment objectives, including our focus on single tenant properties, if we believe such changes are in the best interest of our stockholders.

 

Rich Uncles NNN Operator, LLC, our Advisor, will make recommendations on all investments to our board of directors. All proposed real estate investments must be approved by at least a majority of our board of directors.

 

As of March 31, 2018, we owned nineteen properties in eleven states consisting of retail, office and industrial properties, our tenant-in-common real estate investment in RU Martin Street Santa Clara (the “TIC”) in which we have an approximate 72.7% interest and one real estate investment in an affiliated REIT, Rich Uncles Real Estate Investment Trust I (“REIT I”), in which we have an approximate 4.3% interest. The net book value of these investments at March 31, 2018 was $165,375,230.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

The Company

 

We are a publicly registered, non-exchange traded company dedicated to providing stockholders with dependable monthly dividends. We believe we are qualified to operate as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, which requires us to annually distribute at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains) in the form of dividends to our stockholders. Our monthly dividends are supported by the cash flow generated from real estate owned under long-term, net lease agreements with local, regional, and national commercial tenants and, to some extent, the waiver or deferral of asset management fees by our Sponsor and offering proceeds. See “Distributions” below.

 

At March 31, 2018, we owned a diversified portfolio:

 

  · Of the total 19 properties, eight properties are retail properties which represent 16% of the portfolio, six properties are office properties which represent 35% of the portfolio, and five properties are industrial properties which represents 49% of the portfolio (expressed as a percentage of net rental revenue);
  · Fully leased with an occupancy rate of 100%;
  · Leased to 14 different commercial tenants doing business in 12 separate industries;
  · Located in 11 states;
  · With approximately 1,196,000 square feet of aggregate leasable space;
  · With an average leasable space per property of approximately 63,000 square feet; approximately 18,000 square feet per retail property, approximately 53,000 square feet per office property, and 147,000 square feet per industrial property; and
  · With a balance of outstanding debt of approximately $77.3 million, excluding the $9.0 million drawn under the unsecured credit facility.

 

Of the 19 properties in the portfolio, all 19, or 100%, are single-tenant properties. At March 31, 2018, all 19 properties were leased with a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding rights to extend a lease at the option of the tenant) of approximately 8.3 years.

 

On September 28, 2017, we acquired an approximate 72.7% tenant-in-common interest in RU Martin Street Santa Clara (“TIC”). The remaining approximate 27.3% of undivided interest in the Santa Clara property is held by Hagg Lane II, LLC (an approximate 23.4%) and Hagg Lane III, LLC (an approximate 3.9%). The manager of Hagg Lane II, LLC and Hagg Lane III, LLC is a board member of the Sponsor.

 

Investment Strategy

 

Our investment strategy is to acquire single-tenant retail, office, and industrial real estate leased to creditworthy tenants on long-term leases. Our ideal portfolio is comprised of 40% office, 40% industrial, and 20% retail, with greater than 50% of our real estate leased to investment grade tenants as determined by one of the big three credit rating agencies (Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch Group). When identifying new properties for investment, we generally focus on acquiring high-quality real estate that tenants consider important to the successful operation of their business. We generally seek to acquire real estate that has the following characteristics:

 

  · Properties that are freestanding, and commercially-zoned with a single tenant;
  · Properties that are located in significant markets, which markets are identified and ranked based on several key demographic and real estate specific metrics such as population growth, income, unemployment, job growth, GDP growth, rent growth, and vacancy rates;
  · Properties that are located in strategic locations critical to generating revenue for the tenants that occupy them (i.e., the tenants need the properties in which they operate in order to conduct their businesses);
  · Properties that are located within attractive demographic areas relative to the business of our tenants and are generally fungible and have good visibility and easy access to major thoroughfares;
  · Properties with rental or lease payments that approximate or are lower than market rents; and
  · Properties that can be purchased with the simultaneous execution or assumption of long-term, net lease agreements, offering both current income and the potential for future rent increases.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our proceeds from shares sold in the Offerings have been, and will continue to be, primarily for (i) property acquisitions; (ii) capital expenditures; (iii) payment of principal on our outstanding indebtedness; and (iv) payment of fees to our Advisor. Our cash needs for the purchase of real estate properties and other real estate investments will be funded primarily from the sale of our shares of common stock, including those offered for sale through our distribution reinvestment plans, or from debt proceeds.

 

At March 31, 2018, the outstanding principal balance of our mortgage notes payable was $79,317,586 and the outstanding balance of our unsecured credit facility with Pacific Mercantile Bank was $9,000,000. This unsecured credit facility has a maturity date of January 26, 2019 (see Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements). Our pro rata share (approximately 4.3%) of REIT I’s mortgage notes payable was $2,668,341 at March 31, 2018. The Company’s pro rata share (72.7%) of the mortgage note payable held by our TIC was $10,303,210 at March 31, 2018.

 

Portfolio Information

 

Our wholly-owned real estate investments were as follows:

 

   As of 
   March 31, 2018   December 31, 2017 
Number of Properties:        
Retail   8    8 
Office   6    6

Industrial   735,016    324,616 
Total   1,195,579    785,179 

 

Our approximate interest of 72.7% in a tenant-in-common entity owns a 91,740 square feet of office property which is not included in the table above. Also, the above table does not include our approximate 4.3% interest in an affiliated REIT.

 

In addition, on April 4, 2018, we acquired an additional office property with approximately 87,230 square feet located in Nashville, Tennessee leased on a triple net basis to Cummins, Inc. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

 

Cash Flow Summary

 

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the three months ended March 31:

 

   2018   2017 
Net cash provided by operating activities  $38,144   $182,764 
Net cash used in investing activities  $(16,323,214)  $(20,924,908)
Net cash provided by financing activities  $23,977,759   $23,853,310 

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

As of March 31, 2018, we owned nineteen properties, one tenant-in-common real estate investment in which we have an approximate 72.7% interest and one real estate investment in an affiliated REIT in which we have an approximate 4.3% interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $38,144 and $182,764, respectively.

 

The cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to adjustments to our net loss for net non-cash charges of $1,400,205 primarily related to depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs and distributions from investments in unconsolidated entities, partially offset by unrealized gain on interest rate swap valuation, deferred rents, amortization of below-market leases and undistributed income from investments in unconsolidated entities. In the addition, the net non-cash charges were also partially offset by the decrease in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and due to affiliates, partially offset by decreases in tenant receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets and due from affiliates.

 

The cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to adjustments to our net loss for net non-cash charges of $531,113 primarily related to depreciation and amortization and distributions from investments in unconsolidated entities; and increases in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and due to affiliates due to timing of payments; partially offset by our net loss; and increases in due from affiliates and prepaid and other assets.

 

We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and the related operations from such investments as well as from operations for an entire year for the properties that we have acquired since January 1, 2017.

  · $100,126 of distributions paid to stockholders.

Capital Resources

 

Generally, our cash requirements for property acquisitions, debt payments, capital expenditures, and other investments will be funded by the Offerings and bank borrowings from financial institutions and mortgage indebtedness on our properties, and to a lesser extent, by internally generated funds. Our cash requirements for operating and interest expenses, repurchases of common stock and dividend distributions will generally be funded by internally generated funds and, to some extent, the waiver or deferral of asset management fees by our Sponsor and offering proceeds may be used to fund repurchases of common stock and dividend distributions. If available, future sources of capital include proceeds from the Offerings, secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders and proceeds from the sale of properties, as well as undistributed funds from operations.

 

Results of Operations

 

We owned 19 properties, one tenant-in-common real estate investment in which we have an approximate 72.7% interest and one real estate investment in an affiliated REIT in which we have an approximate 4.3% interest at March 31, 2018. We acquired seven properties from April 2017 to December 2017 and an additional property in each of March 2018 and April 2018. We also acquired our approximate 72.7% tenant-in-common real estate investment interest in September 2017. We expect that rental income, tenant reimbursements, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and asset management fees to affiliates to each increase in future periods as a result of the acquisitions discussed above and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments. Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we are continuing to raise capital through the Offerings and acquire additional properties.

 

Comparison of the Three Months ended March 31, 2018 to the Three Months ended March 31, 2017

 

The increases in rental income, tenant recoveries, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and property expense from the applicable prior-year periods were primarily due to properties acquired after April 1, 2017, as well as a complete year of operations from properties acquired.

 

Rental Income

 

Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $2,929,393 and $696,694, respectively. The annualized base rental income of the properties owned as of March 31, 2018 was $11,732,549.

The Sponsor has agreed to reimburse us for these investor relations payroll costs which are considered to be offering expenses in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. The reimbursement for these costs is included in the income statement caption Expenses Reimbursed/Fees Waived by Sponsor or Affiliates. The other significant components of general and administrative expenses include audit and legal fees and board of director fees which are paid in shares of common stock.

 

Expenses reimbursed/fees waived by our Sponsor or affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $359,514 and $715,850, respectively, resulting in net general and administrative expenses of $252,673 and $470,994, respectively.

Property expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $492,978 and $179,778, respectively. These expenses primarily relate to property taxes, insurance and repairs and maintenance expenses.

 

Expenses Reimbursed/Fees Waived by Sponsor or Affiliates

Organizational and Offering Costs

 

Our organizational and offering costs are paid by our Sponsor on our behalf. Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the Offerings, including investor relations payroll expenses. Other organizational and offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our formation, including, but not limited to legal fees, federal and state filing fees, and other costs to incorporate.

 

During the primary Offerings, we are obligated to reimburse our Sponsor for organizational and offering costs related to the Offerings paid by them on our behalf provided such reimbursement would not exceed 3% of gross offering proceeds raised in the Offerings as of the date of the reimbursement.

 

As of March 31, 2018, we had not directly incurred any organizational and offering costs related to the Offerings as all such costs had been funded by our Sponsor. As a result, these organizational and offering costs related to the Offerings are not recorded in our financial statements as of March 31, 2018 other than to the extent of 3% of the gross offering proceeds. Through March 31, 2018, our Sponsor had incurred organizational and offering costs on our behalf in connection with our Offerings of $7,355,243. Through March 31, 2018, we had recorded $3,153,706 of organizational and offering costs, of which $16,892 was payable to the Sponsor or affiliates.

 

See Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

 

Distributions

 

During our offering stage, when we may raise capital more quickly than we acquire income producing assets, and from time-to-time during our operational state, we way not pay distributions from operations. In these cases, distributions may be paid in whole or in part from the waiver or deferral of fees otherwise due to our Advisor, if so elected by our Advisor. Historically, the sources of cash used to pay our distributions have been from net rental income received, the waiver and deferral of management fees and, to a limited extent, offering proceeds. The leases for certain of our real estate acquisitions may provide for rent abatements. These abatements are an inducement for the tenant to enter into or extend the term of its lease. In connection with the acquisition of some properties, we may be able to negotiate a reduced purchase price for the acquired property in an amount that equals the previously agreed-upon rent abatement. During the period of any rent abatement on properties that we acquire, we may be unable to fully fund our distributions from net rental income received and waivers or deferrals of Advisor asset management fees. In that event, we may expand the sources of cash used to fund our stockholder distributions to include proceeds from the sale of our common stock, but only during the periods, and up to the amounts, of any rent abatements where we are able to negotiate a reduced purchase price.

(1)

On April 3, 2018, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period April 1, 2018 through April 30, 2018 at a rate of $0.0019542 per share per day on the outstanding shares of our Class C and Class S common stock, which we will pay on May 25, 2018. In addition, on April 30, 2018, our board of directors declared distributions based on daily record dates for the period May 1, 2018 through May 31, 2018 at a rate of $0.0018911 per share per day on the outstanding shares of our Class C and Class S common stock, which we will pay on June 25, 2018.

 

(2)Since our board of directors declared distributions for four months (December 2017 through March 2018) during the three months ended March 31, 2018 in order to transition to a process of declaring dividends prior to the beginning of the month, the dividends declared per common share reflects four months of dividends rather than three months of dividends.

 

Going forward, we expect our board of directors to continue to declare cash distributions based on daily record dates and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis, and after our Offerings to continue to declare distributions based on a single record date as of the end of the month, and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis. Cash distributions will be determined by our board of directors based on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum dividend or distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make dividends or distributions to our stockholders other than as necessary to meet REIT qualification requirements.

 

Properties

 

As of March 31, 2018, we owned nineteen properties encompassing an approximate 1,196,000 rentable square feet in eleven states, one tenant-in-common real estate investment in which we have an approximate 72.7% interest and one real estate investment in an affiliated REIT in which we have an approximate 4.3% interest. We have been in the offering state of our life cycle and will continue to acquire assets that adhere to our investment criteria with proceeds from the sale of our shares and financing proceeds. More detail about our properties can be found in Note 4 to condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We do not currently have plans to incur any significant costs to renovate, improve or develop the properties, other than as discussed below, and we believe that the properties are adequately insured. We have four tenants with leases that provide for tenant improvement allowances totaling $1,899,485, including an 72.7% share of the tenant improvement allowance for the Santa Clara property. We expect that the related improvements will be completed during the 2018 calendar year. There are restricted cash deposits of $805,416 that are available to be used to pay for these improvements. The remainder will be funded from operating cash flow or offering proceeds.

 

In addition, we have identified approximately $450,000 of roof replacement, exterior painting and sealing and parking lot repairs/restriping that are expected to be completed in 2018 and 2019. Approximately $115,000 of these improvements are expected to be recoverable from the tenant through their operating expense recoveries. However, the Company will have to pay for the improvements and the recoveries will be billed over an extended period of time. The remaining costs of approximately $335,000 are not recoverable from tenants. These improvements will be funded from operating cash flows or offering proceeds.

 

Recent Market Conditions

 

Beginning in late 2007, domestic and international financial markets experienced significant disruptions that severely impacted the availability of credit and contributed to rising costs associated with obtaining credit. Financial conditions affecting commercial real estate have improved and continue to improve, as low treasury rates and increased lending from banks, insurance companies and commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”) conduits have increased lending activity. Nevertheless, the debt market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as Federal Reserve policy, market sentiment or regulatory factors affecting the banking and CMBS industries. While we expect that financial conditions will remain favorable, if they were to deteriorate we may experience more stringent lending criteria, which may affect our ability to finance certain property acquisitions or refinance any debt at maturity. Additionally, for properties for which we are able to obtain financing, the interest rates and other terms on such loans may be unacceptable. We expect to manage the current mortgage lending environment by considering alternative lending sources, including securitized debt, fixed rate loans, borrowings on a line of credit, short-term variable rate loans, assumed mortgage loans in connection with property acquisitions, interest rate lock or swap agreements, or any combination of the foregoing.

 

 35  

 

  

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Commercial real estate fundamentals continue to strengthen, as a moderate pace of job creation has supported gains in office absorption, retail sales and warehouse distribution. Although commercial property construction activity has increased, it remains near historic lows; as a result, incremental demand growth has helped to reduce vacancy rates and support modest rental growth. Improving fundamentals have resulted in gains in property values.

 

Election as a REIT

 

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under the Code beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We believe we will continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify and maintain status as a REIT, we must meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains).

 

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We will be subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included under “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2018. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the three months ended March 31, 2017. 

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

We may be subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions (see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements for commitment and contingencies).

 

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

 

We have entered into an Advisory Agreement with our Advisor whereby we have agreed to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our Advisor or our affiliates, such as acquisition fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, asset management fees, and reimbursement of certain operating costs (see Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details of the various related-party transactions and agreements).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources as of March 31, 2018.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

Not required as we are a Smaller Reporting Company.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

 

 37  

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that our objectives will be met. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The information disclosed under Legal Matters in Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on April 3, 2018.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we issued a total of 3,800 shares of Class C common stock to five members of the board of directors for their services as board members. Such issuance was made in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we also issued 33 shares of Class S common stock in the Class S Offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $334. Such issuances were made pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan applicable to our Class S common stock in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under and in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act.

 

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Registered Securities

 

On June 1, 2016, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-205684) (the “Registration Statement”), covering an initial public offering to offer a maximum of 90,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public in the Primary Offering was declared effective under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, we also registered a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to our Registered DRP Offering. The shares of common stock covered by the Registration Statement were renamed and redesignated as Class C shares of common stock pursuant to amendments to the Company’s charter that became effective in August 2017.

 

 38  

 

  

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION (continued)

 

The Registered Offering commenced on July 20, 2016. We intend to sell the shares of Class C common stock offered in our Primary Offering and pursuant to our Registered DRP Offering until June 1, 2019, unless our board of directors terminates the offering at an earlier date or all shares being offered have been sold, in which case the Registered Offering will be terminated. If all of the shares we are offering have not been sold by June 1, 2019, our board of directors may further extend the offering in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Rule 415 of the Securities Act permits us to file a new registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC, so that we may continuously offer shares of our Class C common stock. If our board of directors determines to extend the offering beyond June 1, 2019, we will notify stockholders by filing a supplement to the prospectus for the Registered Offering with the SEC. We will also need to renew the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement in many states to continue the Registered Offering. We may terminate the Registered Offering at any time. Our board of directors will adjust the price of the Registered Offering shares during the course of the Registered Offering as described in the Registration Statement, as amended.

 

As of March 31, 2018, we had sold 10,484,196 shares of Class C common stock in the Registered Offering, including 444,514 shares of Class C common stock sold under our Registered DRP Offering, for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $104,892,549.

 

Through March 31, 2018, we have paid $3,136,814 to our Sponsor as reimbursement for organizational and offering costs, which reimbursement is subject to the 3% of gross offering proceeds limitation.

 

From the commencement of the Registered Offering through March 31, 2018, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the reimbursable organizational and offering expenses incurred as described above, were approximately $101,745,773, including net offering proceeds from our Registered DRP Offering of $4,451,200. Substantially all of these proceeds, along with proceeds from the Class S Offering and debt financing, were used to make approximately $171,510,005 of investments in real estate properties, including the purchase price of our investments, deposits paid for future acquisitions, acquisition fees and expenses, and costs of leveraging each real estate investment. Of the use of the offering proceeds described in the prior statement, $5,097,413, and $536,150 were used to pay acquisition fees and financing coordination fees to our Advisor, respectively. Our Sponsor was reimbursed for $3,136,814 of organizational and offering costs. See Note 9 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for details about fees paid to affiliates. In addition, as of March 31, 2018, $288,370 of proceeds from the Offerings were used to fund stockholder distributions. See Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —Distributions for a description of the sources that have been used to fund our distributions.

  (1) During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we agreed to repurchase 100% of all shares of Class C common stock requested for repurchase. The shares of Class C common stock requested for repurchase in March 2018 were repurchased in April 2018. We generally repurchase shares approximately 5 days following the end of the applicable month in which requests were received.

Following our board of directors’ determination of our NAV and NAV per share on January 18, 2018, the maximum amount that may be repurchased per month is limited to no more than 2% of our most recently determined aggregate NAV. Repurchases for any calendar quarter will be limited to no more than 5% of our most recently determined aggregate NAV. The foregoing repurchase limitations are based on “net repurchases” during a quarter or month, as applicable.  Thus, for any given calendar quarter or month, the maximum amount of repurchases during that quarter or month will be equal to (1) 5% or 2% (as applicable) of our most recently determined aggregate NAV, plus (2) proceeds from sales of new shares in the Registered Offering (including purchases pursuant to our Registered DRP Offering) since the beginning of a current calendar quarter or month, less (3) repurchase proceeds paid since the beginning of the current calendar quarter or month. We have the discretion to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased in a particular month or quarter, or to repurchase no shares at all, in the event that we lack readily available funds to do so due to market conditions beyond our control, our need to maintain liquidity for our operations or because we determine that investing in real property or other illiquid investments is a better use of our capital than repurchasing our shares. In the event that we repurchase some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase in a given period, shares submitted for repurchase during such period will be repurchased on a pro rata basis. In addition, our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program without stockholder approval upon 30 days’ notice if our directors believe such action is in our and our stockholders’ best interests.  Our board of directors may also amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program due to changes in law or regulation, or if the board of directors becomes aware of undisclosed material information that we believe should be publicly disclosed before shares are repurchased.
