Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2017

 

Note 1 — Organization and Background

 

One Liberty Properties, Inc. (“OLP”) was incorporated in 1982 in Maryland.  OLP is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”).  OLP acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of retail, industrial, restaurant, health and fitness, and theater properties, many of which are subject to long-term net leases.  As of September 30, 2017, OLP owns 119 properties, including six properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. The 119 properties are located in 31 states.

 

Note 2 — Summary Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in OLP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

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

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of OLP, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, its joint ventures in which the Company, as defined, has a controlling interest, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  OLP and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein as the “Company”.  Material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Investment in Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, provides guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that (i) has the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Note 2 — Summary Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

The Company assesses the accounting treatment for each of its investments, including a review of each venture or limited liability company or partnership agreement, to determine the rights of each party and whether those rights are protective or participating. Additionally, the Company assesses the accounting treatment for any interests pursuant to which the Company may have a variable interest as a lessor. The agreements typically contain certain protective rights, such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan. Leases may contain certain protective rights, such as the right of sale and the receipt of certain escrow deposits. In situations where, among other things, the Company and its partners jointly (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) prepare or review and approve the joint venture’s tax return before filing, and (iv) approve each lease at a property, the Company does not consolidate as the Company considers these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared, joint power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture or property.

 

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are VIEs. In addition, the Company shares power with its co-managing members over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to the Company, subject to standard carve-outs.

 

The Company periodically reviews its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for other-than-temporary losses in investment value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered based on the underlying assets of the investment is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there was no impairment charge related to the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

 

The Company has elected to follow the cumulative earnings approach when assessing, for the consolidated statement of cash flows, whether the distribution from the investee is a return of the investor’s investment as compared to a return on its investment. The source of the cash generated by the investee to fund the distribution is not a factor in the analysis (that is, it does not matter whether the cash was generated through investee refinancing, sale of assets or operating results). Consequently, the investor only considers the relationship between the cash received from the investee to its equity in the undistributed earnings of the investee, on a cumulative basis, in assessing whether the distribution from the investee is a return on or return of its investment. Cash received from the unconsolidated entity is presumed to be a return on the investment to the extent that, on a cumulative basis, distributions received by the investor are less than its share of the equity in the undistributed earnings of the entity.

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation, primarily to change the presentation of Gain on sale of real estate, net on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company has included a caption for Income before gain on sale of real estate, net, to present gain and losses on sales of properties in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 3-15(a) of Regulation S-X. The change was made for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 because, as prescribed by ASC 360-10-45-5, such gains from sale of real estate were not included as a component of Operating income.  Such change was determined to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 — Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income allocable to common stockholders for each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. Unvested restricted stock is not allocated net losses; such losses are allocated entirely to the common stockholders, other than the holders of unvested restricted stock. As of September 30, 2017, the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock units awarded under the 2016 Incentive Plan are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as these units are not participating securities. The restricted stock units issued pursuant to the 2009 and 2016 Incentive Plans are referred to as “RSUs”.

 

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other rights exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock were exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company.

 

See Note 13 for information regarding the Company’s equity incentive plans.

Note 4 — Real Estate Acquisitions

 

In January 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which requires an entity to evaluate whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, and if that requirement is met, the asset group is not a business.  The Company analyzed the real estate acquisitions made during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and determined the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset.  Therefore, the transactions do not meet the definition of a business and are accounted for as asset acquisitions.  In accordance with this guidance, direct transaction costs associated with these asset acquisitions have been capitalized to real estate assets and depreciated over the respective useful lives.

Note 4 — Real Estate Acquisitions (Continued)

 

As of September 30, 2017, the weighted average amortization for the 2017 acquisitions is 7.0 years and 12.4 years for the intangible lease assets and intangible lease liabilities, respectively. The Company assessed the fair value of the lease intangibles based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are Level 3 (as defined in Note 14) in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Property Acquisition Subsequent to September 30, 2017

 

On October 10, 2017, the Company acquired, in a sale-leaseback transaction, a distribution facility/corporate headquarters, located in Memphis, Tennessee for $8 million.  The initial term of the lease is ten years.

Note 6 — Variable Interest Entities, Contingent Liabilities and Consolidated Joint Ventures

 

Variable Interest Entities — Ground Leases

 

The Company determined that with respect to the properties identified in the table below, it has a variable interest through its ground leases and the three owner/operators (which are affiliated with one another) are VIEs because their equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company further determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of these VIEs because the Company has shared power over certain activities that most significantly impact the owner/operator’s economic performance (i.e., shared rights on the sale of the property) and therefore, does not consolidate these VIEs for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, the Company accounts for these investments as land and the revenues from the ground leases as Rental income, net. Such rental income amounted to $954,000 and $2,758,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $663,000 and $1,525,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Included in these amounts, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, is rental income for a similarly structured transaction for a property located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, amounting to $0 and $308,000, respectively, which the Company sold in June 2016 (see Note 5).

(a)         Simultaneously with each purchase, the Company entered into a triple net ground lease with affiliates of Strategic Properties of North America, the owner/operators of these properties.

(b)         Simultaneously with the closing of each acquisition, the owner/operator obtained a mortgage from a third party which, together with the Company’s purchase of the land, provided substantially all of the aggregate funds to acquire the complex. The Company provided its land as collateral for the respective owner/operator’s mortgage loans; accordingly, each land position is subordinated to the applicable mortgage. Other than as described above, no other financial support has been provided by the Company to the owner/operator.

Note 6 — Variable Interest Entities, Contingent Liabilities and Consolidated Joint Ventures

(Continued)

 

Pursuant to the terms of the ground lease for the Wheaton, Illinois property, the owner/operator is obligated to make certain unit renovations as and when units become vacant. Cash reserves to cover such renovation work, received by the Company in conjunction with the purchase of the property, are disbursed when the unit renovations are completed. The related cash reserve balance for this property was $530,000 and $643,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is included in Restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Variable Interest Entity — Consolidated Joint Ventures

 

With respect to the six consolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds between an 85% to 95% interest, the Company has determined such ventures are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not hold substantive kick-out or participating rights.

 

In each of these six joint ventures, the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each joint venture’s performance including management, approval of expenditures, and the obligation to absorb the losses or rights to receive benefits.  Accordingly, the Company consolidates the operations of these joint ventures for financial statement purposes.  The joint ventures’ creditors do not have recourse to the assets of the Company other than those held by these joint ventures.

Note 6 — Variable Interest Entities, Contingent Liabilities and Consolidated Joint Ventures

(Continued)

 

At September 30, 2017, MCB Real Estate, LLC and its affiliates (‘‘MCB’’) are the Company’s joint venture partner in four consolidated joint ventures in which the Company has an aggregate equity investment of approximately $9,469,000. The Company’s equity investment in its two other consolidated joint ventures is approximately $7,378,000.

 

Distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro rata to the equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.

 

Note 7 — Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s five unconsolidated joint ventures each owned and operated one property.  The Company’s equity investment in such unconsolidated joint ventures at such dates totaled $10,648,000 and $10,833,000, respectively.  The Company recorded equity in earnings of $212,000 and $663,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $228,000 and $794,000  for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

 

At September 30, 2017, MCB is the Company’s joint venture partner in one of these unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has an equity investment of $8,171,000.

Note 8  — Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of a tenant to make required rent and other payments.  If the financial condition of a specific tenant were to deteriorate, adversely impacting its ability to make payments, allowances may be required.  At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no balance in allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

The Company records bad debt expense as a reduction of rental income and/or tenant reimbursements.

 

The Company recorded bad debt expense of  $310,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Such bad debt expense related to rental income and tenant reimbursements due from tenants at four properties that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.  The Company sold one of these properties, located in Niles, Illinois, in August 2017 (see Note 5). Each tenant accounted for less than 1.2% of rental income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.  In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company wrote-off (i) $362,000 of unbilled straight-line rent receivable and $67,000 of unamortized intangible lease assets as a reduction to rental income and (ii) $884,000 of tenant origination costs as an increase to depreciation expense related to these tenants.  Except with respect to its property located in Ann Arbor, Michigan (discussed below), the Company has determined that no impairment charge is required with respect to the two other properties, which at September 30, 2017, had an aggregate net book value of $2,382,000.  There was no bad debt expense in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The Company recorded bad debt expense of $190,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, related to rental income and tenant reimbursements due from Sports Authority, the former tenant at its Greenwood Village, Colorado property, that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2016.  This tenant accounted for less than 1% of the Company’s rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The Company sold this property in May 2017 (see Note 5).  There was no bad debt expense in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Impairment Loss

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that its property formerly tenanted by Joe’s Crab Shack, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan would be disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life.  Subsequent to September 30, 2017 the Company entered into a contract to sell the property. As the sales price is less than the book value, the Company determined that the property is impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $153,000 representing the difference between the expected net sales price and the net book value as of September 30, 2017.

Note 11 — Common Stock Cash Dividend

 

On September 13, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.43 per share on the Company’s common stock, totaling $8,053,000. The quarterly dividend was paid on October 4, 2017 to stockholders of record on September 25, 2017.

 

Note 12 — Shares Issued through Equity Offering Program

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold 103,196 shares for proceeds of $2,461,000, net of commissions of $25,000, and incurred offering costs of $43,000 for professional fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold 135,196 shares for proceeds of $3,252,000, net of commissions of $33,000, and incurred offering costs of $185,000 for professional fees. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company sold 4,197 shares for proceeds of $102,000, net of commissions of $1,000.

 

Note 13 — Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company’s 2016 Incentive Plan (‘‘Plan’’), approved by the Company’s stockholders in June 2016, permits the Company to grant, among other things, stock options, restricted stock,  RSUs, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights and any one or more of the foregoing to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. A maximum of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock is authorized for issuance pursuant to this Plan.  As of September 30, 2017, (i) restricted stock awards with respect to 140,100 shares had been issued, of which 100 shares were forfeited and 3,000 shares had vested, and (ii) as further described below, RSUs with respect to 76,250 shares had been issued and are outstanding.

 

Under the Company’s 2012 Incentive Plan, as of September 30, 2017, 500,700 shares had been issued, of which 3,350 shares were forfeited and 21,450 shares had vested. No additional awards may be granted under this plan.

 

For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they vest; however, dividends are paid on the unvested shares. The restricted stock grants are charged to General and administrative expense over the respective vesting periods based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date. Unless earlier forfeited because the participant’s relationship with the Company terminated, unvested restricted stock awards vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, and under certain circumstances may vest earlier.

Note 13 — Stock Based Compensation (Continued)

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted RSUs exchangeable for up to 76,250 shares of common stock upon satisfaction, through June 30, 2020, of specified conditions.  Specifically, up to 50% of these RSUs vest upon achievement of metrics related to average annual total stockholder return (the “TSR Awards”), which metrics meet the definition of a market condition, and up to 50% vest upon achievement of metrics related to average annual return on capital (the “ROC Awards”), which metrics meet the definition of a performance condition.  The holders of the RSUs are not entitled to dividends or to vote the underlying shares until such RSUs vest and shares are issued.  Accordingly, the shares underlying these RSUs are not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet. For the TSR awards, a third party appraiser prepared a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value. The Monte Carlo valuation consisted of computing the grant date fair value of the awards using One Liberty’s simulated stock price. The per unit or share fair value was estimated using the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, a dividend rate of 7.16%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.14% - 1.64% and an expected price volatility of 16.57% - 19.15%. The expected price volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility and implied volatility. For the ROC awards, the fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant and the performance assumptions are re-evaluated quarterly. Expense is not recognized on the RSUs which the Company does not expect to vest as a result of service conditions or the Company’s performance expectations.

 

The total amount recorded as deferred compensation is $919,000, based on performance and market assumptions and will be charged to General and administrative expense.  None of these RSUs were forfeited or vested during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

In 2010, RSUs exchangeable for up to 200,000 shares of common stock were awarded pursuant to the Company’s 2009 Incentive Plan. The holders of RSUs were not entitled to dividends or to vote the underlying shares until the RSUs vested and the underlying shares were issued. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the shares underlying these RSUs were not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.  As of June 30, 2017, 113,584 shares of common stock underlying the RSUs were deemed to have vested and in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, such shares were issued.  RSUs with respect to the balance of 86,416 shares were forfeited.

As of September 30, 2017, total compensation costs of $7,805,000 related to non-vested restricted stock awards and RSUs that have not yet been recognized.  These compensation costs will be charged to General and administrative expense over the remaining respective vesting periods. The weighted average vesting period is 2.4 years for the restricted stock and 2.8 years for the RSUs.

 

Note 14 — Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions.  In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables (excluding interest rate swaps), dividends payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities (excluding interest rate swaps), are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are considered to be recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.

 

At September 30, 2017, the $414,746,000 estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is greater than their $401,053,000 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $13,693,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 3.69% based on the 8.9 year weighted average remaining term to maturity of the mortgages.  At December 31, 2016, the $413,916,000 estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is greater than their $399,192,000 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $14,724,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 3.74% based on the 9.3 year weighted average remaining term to maturity of the mortgages.

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of the Company’s line of credit (before unamortized deferred financing costs) of $6,400,000 and $10,000,000, respectively, approximates its fair value.

 

The fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable and line of credit are estimated using unobservable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flow analysis based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 14 — Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

 

Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company does not own any financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis and that are classified as Level 1 or 3.

 

The Company’s objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

 

Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

 

Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with it use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has assessed and determined the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions is not significant. As a result, the Company determined its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had entered into 29 interest rate derivatives, all of which were interest rate swaps, related to 29 outstanding mortgage loans with an aggregate $135,251,000 notional amount and mature between 2018 and 2028 (weighted average remaining term to maturity of 7.3 years).  Such interest rate swaps, all of which were designated as cash flow hedges, converted LIBOR based variable rate mortgages to fixed annual rate mortgages (with interest rates ranging from 3.02% to 5.38% and a weighted average interest

rate of 4.12% at September 30, 2017).  The fair value of the Company’s derivatives in asset and liability positions are reflected as other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on one of its interest rate swaps (see discussion following the table below).

 

Three of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, in which wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are 50% partners, had two interest rate derivatives outstanding at September 30, 2017 with an aggregate $10,556,000 notional amount.  These interest rate swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, have interest rates of 3.49% and 5.81% and mature in 2022 and 2018, respectively.

On July 14, 2017, in connection with the sale of a property tenanted by Kohl’s and located  in Kansas City, Missouri, the Company paid off the mortgage and terminated the related interest rate swap.  In June 2017, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on this interest rate swap as the hedged forecasted transaction became probable not to occur.  As a result, the Company accelerated the reclassification of $118,000 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  No gain or loss was recognized with respect to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company’s cash flow hedges for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

During the twelve months ending September 30, 2018, the Company estimates an additional $988,000 will be reclassified from other accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense and $26,000 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as a decrease to equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Note 14 — Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

 

The derivative agreements in effect at September 30, 2017 provide that if the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a party to the agreement defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then a default can be declared on such subsidiary’s derivative obligation. In addition, the Company is a party to the derivative agreements and if there is a default by the subsidiary on the loan subject to the derivative agreement to which the Company is a party and if there are swap breakage losses on account of the derivative being terminated early, then the Company could be held liable for such swap breakage losses, if any.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company terminated three interest rate swaps in connection with the early payoff of the related mortgages. As a result of these hedged forecasted transactions being terminated, the Company accelerated the reclassification of $178,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings which are included in Prepayment costs on debt on the consolidated statement of income.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the derivatives in a liability position, including accrued interest of $71,000, but excluding any adjustments for nonperformance risk, was approximately $2,516,000.  In the event the Company breaches any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations thereunder at their termination liability value of $2,516,000.  This termination liability value, net of $135,000 adjustments for nonperformance risk, or $2,381,000, is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017.

 

Note 15 — Commitments

 

The Company is contractually required (i) to expend approximately $7,800,000 through 2018 for building expansion and improvements at its property tenanted by L-3 Communications, located in Hauppauge, New York, of which $1,858,000 has been spent through September 30, 2017, (ii) to reimburse Regal Cinemas, a tenant in Greensboro, North Carolina, $3,000,000 if and when the tenant completes specified improvements to the property and (iii) to reimburse Huttig Building Products, a tenant in Saco, Maine, for up to a maximum of $2,050,000 for building expansion costs by July 31, 2018.

Note 16 — New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income — Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope and application on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact, if any, it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amount generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact, if any, it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current ‘incurred loss’ model with an ‘expected loss’ approach. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which amends 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. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating this new standard. The Company anticipates adopting this guidance January 1, 2019 and will apply the modified retrospective approach.

Note 16 — New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The standard can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14 and ASU 2016-08 are herein collectively referred to as the “New Revenue Recognition Standards”.

 

The New Revenue Recognition Standards are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted but not before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company anticipates adopting the New Revenue Recognition Standards on January 1, 2018, and applying the cumulative-effect adoption method. Since the Company’s revenue is primarily related to leasing activities, management does not anticipate that the adoption of the New Revenue Recognition Standards will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provision for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions.  Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions or variations thereof.  Forward-looking statements should not be relied on since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, performance or achievements.  Investors are encouraged to review the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, incorporated in Maryland in 1982.  To qualify as a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of ordinary taxable income to our stockholders.  We intend to comply with these requirements and to maintain our REIT status.

 

We acquire, own and manage a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of retail (including furniture stores, supermarkets and office supply stores), industrial, restaurant, health and fitness, and theater properties, many of which are leased under long-term leases.  As of September 30, 2017, we own 119 properties (including six properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures) located in 31 states.  Based on square footage, our occupancy rate at September 30, 2017 is approximately 98.0%.

 

We face a variety of risks and challenges in our business. We, among other things, face the possibility that (i) we will not be able to acquire accretive properties on acceptable terms, (ii) we will not be able to lease our properties on favorable terms or at all, (iii) our tenants may not be able to pay their rent and comply with other obligations under their leases and (iv) we may not be able to renew or relet, on acceptable terms, leases that are expiring.

 

We seek to manage the risk of our real property portfolio and the related financing arrangements by diversifying among types of properties, industries, locations, tenants, scheduled lease expirations and lenders.  We use interest rate swaps to limit interest rate risk on variable rate mortgages.  Substantially all of our mortgage debt either bears interest at fixed rates or is subject to interest rate swaps, limiting our exposure to fluctuating interest rates on our outstanding mortgage debt.

 

30



Table of Contents

 

We monitor the risk of tenant non-payments through a variety of approaches tailored to the applicable situation. Generally, based on our assessment of the credit risk posed by our tenants, we monitor a tenant’s financial condition through one or more of the following actions: reviewing tenant financial statements, obtaining other tenant related financial information, regular contact with tenant’s representatives, tenant credit checks and regular management reviews of our tenants. We may sell a property if the tenant’s financial condition is unsatisfactory.

 

In acquiring properties, we balance an evaluation of the terms of the leases and the credit of the existing tenants with a fundamental analysis of the real estate to be acquired, which analysis takes into account, among other things, the estimated value of the property, local demographics and the ability to re-rent or dispose of the property on favorable terms upon lease expiration or early termination.

 

We are sensitive to the risks facing the retail industry as a result of the growth of e-commerce.  Several of our current and former tenants (including Payless ShoeSource, Kmart, hhgregg, Joe’s Crab Shack and Pathmark) have experienced or are experiencing financial difficulty and have either sought bankruptcy protection and stopped paying rent or closed stores and may cease paying rent.  Several properties leased by former tenants have remained vacant for periods ranging from several months to more than a year and though we do not generate rental income from these properties during such periods, we are responsible for paying the debt service and operating expenses (e.g., real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance) related to these properties. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further information about the challenges facing the retail industry and several of our tenants.

 

We are addressing our exposure to the retail industry by seeking to acquire properties that we believe capitalize on e-commerce activities, such as distribution and warehouse facilities, and by being especially selective in acquiring retail properties. Approximately 41.0% of our contractual rental income (as described below) is derived from retail tenants (including 9.1%, 3.7% and 3.6% from tenants engaged in retail furniture, supermarkets and office supply activities, respectively) and 35.4%, 5.0%, 4.6%, 3.4% and 10.6% from industrial (e.g., distribution and warehouse facilities), restaurant, health and fitness, theaters and other properties, respectively.

 

Our contractual rental income is approximately $67.3 million and represents, after giving effect to any abatements, concessions or adjustments, the base rent payable to us during the twelve months ending September 30, 2018 under leases in effect at September 30, 2017. Contractual rental income excludes: (i) approximately $437,000 of straight-line rent and $1.0 million of amortization of intangibles; and (ii) our share of the rental income payable to our unconsolidated joint ventures, which is approximately $2.8 million.

Property Transactions During the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

On July 14, 2017, we sold a retail property tenanted by Kohl’s, located in Kansas City, Missouri, for a sales price of $10.1 million, net of closing costs.  Our gain from this sale was $2.2 million.  In connection with the sale of this property, we repaid the $3.9 million mortgage balance and due to the early termination of the interest rate swap derivative, incurred interest expense of $118,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

On August 31, 2017, we sold a vacant retail property formerly tenanted by hhgregg, Inc.,  located in Niles, Illinois, for $4.8 million, net of closing costs. Our gain from this sale was $1.1 million.

 

In September 2017, we leased our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania property to a supermarket operator pursuant to a 20 year net lease. Beginning October 1, 2017, the annual rental income from this property will be approximately $473,000.  The property was formerly tenanted by Pathmark and had been vacant since September 2015.

 

Property Acquisition Subsequent to September 30, 2017

 

On October 10, 2017, we acquired, in a sale-leaseback transaction, a distribution facility/corporate headquarters, located in Memphis, Tennessee for $8 million.  The initial term of the lease is ten years and our annual rental income from this property will be approximately $627,000.

Rental income, net.  The increases in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are due primarily to $1.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively, generated by properties acquired in 2017 and 2016.  The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is also due to (i) $267,000 of rental income from a tenant whose lease commenced April 1, 2016 at our Joppa, Maryland property and (ii) $174,000 of annual percentage rent income received from a tenant.

 

Offsetting the increases are decreases in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of: (i) $64,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, representing the 2016 rental income from properties sold during 2016; (ii) $169,000 and $169,000, respectively, representing the 2016 rental income from properties sold during 2017; (iii) $175,000 and $595,000, respectively (including the $263,000 write-off of the entire balance of straight-line rent in the current nine months), relating to two properties formerly tenanted by hhgregg, which filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2017; (iv) $164,000 and $669,000, respectively, representing the 2016 rental income from two properties formerly leased to Quality Bakery, which lease expired November 2016, and Sports Authority,  which was sold May 2017; and (v) $32,000 and $198,000, respectively (including the write-off of the entire balance of straight-line rent and lease intangibles in the current nine months), relating to our properties tenanted by Payless ShoeSource and Joe’s Crab Shack.  Payless ShoeSource and Joe’s Crab Shack filed for bankruptcy protection in April and June 2017, respectively.

 

Tenant reimbursements.  Real estate tax and operating expense reimbursements increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due primarily to reimbursements of approximately $270,000 and $811,000, respectively, from properties acquired in 2017 and 2016, offset by decreases of $35,000 and $186,000, respectively, related to two sold properties and two vacant properties. Tenant reimbursements generally relate to real estate expenses incurred in the same period.

Depreciation and amortization.  The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are due primarily to $591,000 and $2.0 million, respectively, of depreciation expense on the properties acquired in 2016 and 2017.  The nine months ended September 30, 2017 also includes an aggregate $884,000 of write-offs of tenant origination costs related to the hhgregg and Joe’s Crab Shack properties. The increase in depreciation expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was offset by $118,000 and $292,000, respectively, due to the sales of properties in 2016 and 2017.

 

General and administrative.  The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due primarily to increases of: (i) $166,000 in non-cash compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock; (ii) $144,000 in compensation expense primarily due to higher compensation levels; and (iii) $138,000 for other miscellaneous expenses, none of which was individually significant.

 

Real estate expenses.  The increases in the three and nine months ended September  30, 2017 are due primarily to increases of $252,000 and $843,000, respectively, from properties acquired in 2016 and 2017; substantially all these expenses are rebilled to tenants and are included in Tenant reimbursements. Also contributing to the increases in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $165,000 and $647,000, respectively, of expenses related to the vacant properties formerly tenanted by Quality Bakery and hhgregg. These increases were offset by decreases in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, of, among other things, $50,000 and $200,000, respectively, of expenses related to the vacant property formerly tenanted by Sports Authority, which was sold in May 2017.

 

Real estate acquisition costs.  The expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily relate to the purchase of properties during those periods.  As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-01 in January 2017, the real estate acquisitions during the current year were considered asset acquisitions and, as such, acquisition costs of $293,000 were capitalized to the related real estate assets and not expensed.

 

Federal excise and state taxes.  The increase in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily relates to state franchise tax resulting from the 2016 purchase of a property located in Tennessee.

Impairment loss.  Subsequent to September 30, 2017, we entered into a contract to sell our property formerly tenanted by Joe’s Crab Shack in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  In connection therewith, we recorded an impairment loss of $153,000 representing the difference between the expected net sales price and the net book value of this property at September 30, 2017.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.  The income in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes our 50% share, or $146,000, of income obtained for permanent utility easements granted at two properties. There was no such income during 2017.

 

Prepayment costs on debt.  These costs were incurred in connection with the property sales and the payoff, prior to the stated maturity, of the related mortgage debt in 2016, primarily relating to the sales of several properties.

 

Other income. The nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes $243,000 paid to us by a former tenant in connection with the resolution of a dispute, and $74,000 that we received for easements on a sold property.  The three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes $356,000 that we received for such easements.

Credit line interest

 

The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is due to a decrease of $11.1 million in the weighted average balance outstanding under our line of credit, offset by a  63 basis point increase in the average interest rate, as well as an increase of $67,000 in the unused facility fee resulting from the $25 million increase in our borrowing capacity under the facility.

The increases in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 in mortgage interest expense are due to the increases in the average principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding, offset by decreases in the average interest rate thereon. The increase in the average balance outstanding is substantially due to the incurrence of mortgage debt in 2016 and 2017 of $72.9 million in connection with properties acquired in 2016 and 2017 and the financing or refinancing of $51.5 million of mortgage debt, net of refinanced amounts, in connection with properties acquired prior to 2016. The decrease in the average interest rate is due to the financing (including financings effectuated in connection with acquisitions) or refinancing in 2016 and 2017 of $158.8 million of gross mortgage debt (including $34.4 million of refinanced amounts) with an average interest rate of approximately 3.7%.  Mortgage interest expense also increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 by $118,000 due to the payoff of a mortgage and early termination of an interest rate swap in connection with the sale of the property tenanted by Kohl’s in July 2017.

The gain in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was realized from the sales of the Kohl’s property in Kansas City, Missouri and the former hhgregg property in Niles, Illinois. The gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was also realized from the sale of the Greenwood Village, Colorado property in May 2017.  The gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was realized from the sales of several properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our sources of liquidity and capital are cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, refinancing existing mortgage loans, obtaining mortgage loans secured by our unencumbered properties, issuance of equity securities and property sales.  Our available liquidity at November 3, 2017, was $99.3 million, including $12.7 million of cash and cash equivalents (net of the credit facility’s required $3.0 million deposit maintenance balance) and, subject to borrowing base requirements, up to $86.6 million available under our revolving credit facility.

 

Liquidity and Financing

 

We expect to meet our (i) operating cash requirements (including debt service and dividends) principally from cash flow from operations and (ii) capital requirements, including an estimated $11.0 million of building expansion and improvements at several properties, from cash flow from operations, our available cash and cash equivalents and, to the extent permitted, our credit facility.

 

At September 30, 2017, excluding mortgage indebtedness of our unconsolidated joint ventures, we had 72 outstanding mortgages payable secured by 89 properties, in the aggregate principal amount of $401.1 million (before netting unamortized deferred financing costs).  These mortgages represent first liens on individual real estate investments with an aggregate carrying value of $629.8 million, before accumulated depreciation of $81.4 million.  After giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, the mortgage payments bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 3.02% to 7.81% (a 4.22% weighted average interest rate) and mature between 2017 and 2042 (an 8.9 year weighted average remaining term to maturity).

 

The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2017, information with respect to our mortgage debt that is payable from October 1, 2017 through December 31, 2020 (excluding our unconsolidated joint ventures):

At September 30, 2017, our unconsolidated joint ventures had first mortgages on four properties with outstanding balances aggregating $35.3 million, bearing interest at rates ranging from 3.49% to 5.81% (i.e., a 4.07% weighted average interest rate) and maturing between 2018 and 2025.

 

We intend to make debt amortization payments from operating cash flow and, though no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard, generally intend to refinance, extend or payoff the mortgage loans which mature in 2017 through 2020.  We intend to repay the amounts not refinanced or extended from our existing funds and sources of funds, including our available cash and our credit facility (to the extent available).

 

We continually seek to refinance existing mortgage loans on terms we deem acceptable to generate additional liquidity.  Additionally, in the normal course of our business, we sell properties when we determine that it is in our best interests, which also generates additional

liquidity.  Further, since each of our encumbered properties is subject to a non-recourse mortgage (with standard carve-outs), if our in-house evaluation of the market value of such property is less than the principal balance outstanding on the mortgage loan, we may determine to convey, in certain circumstances, such property to the mortgagee in order to terminate our mortgage obligations, including payment of interest, principal and real estate taxes, with respect to such property.

 

Typically, we utilize funds from our credit facility to acquire a property and, thereafter secure long-term, fixed rate mortgage debt on such property. We apply the proceeds from the mortgage loan to repay borrowings under the credit facility, thus providing us with the ability to re-borrow under the credit facility for the acquisition of additional properties.

 

Credit Facility

 

Subject to borrowing base requirements, we can borrow up to $100 million pursuant to our revolving credit facility which is available to us for the acquisition of commercial real estate, repayment of mortgage debt, property improvements and general working capital purposes; provided, that if used for property improvements and working capital purposes, the amount outstanding for such purposes will not exceed the lesser of $15 million and 15% of the borrowing base and if used for working capital purposes, will not exceed $10 million. The facility matures December 31, 2019 and bears interest equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 175 basis points if our ratio of total debt to total value (as calculated pursuant to the facility) is equal to or less than 50%, increasing to a maximum of 300 basis points if such ratio is greater than 65%. The applicable margin was 175 basis points at September 30, 2017 and 2016 and at September 30, 2017, the interest rate was 2.985%.  There is an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum on the difference between the outstanding loan balance and $100 million. The credit facility requires the maintenance of $3 million in average deposit balances.

 

The terms of our revolving credit facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to, among other things, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of debt service coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of debt to value, the minimum level of net income, certain investment limitations and the minimum value of unencumbered properties and the number of such properties. Net proceeds received from the sale, financing or refinancing of properties are generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facility. At September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants under this facility.

Our principal source of operating cash flow is the net funds generated from the operation of our properties. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund quarterly dividend requirements.

 

The decrease in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is due primarily to the decrease in purchases of real estate in 2017, offset in part by the decrease in net proceeds from sales of real estate in 2017.

 

The increase in cash flow used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is due primarily to the net decrease of $63.3 million in financings/repayments of mortgages payable and to a lesser extent, the net increase of $8.2 million in repayments (net of proceeds from drawdowns) on the credit facility in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in cash flow used in financing activities also resulted from a $11.2 million decrease in net proceeds from the sale of common stock in the current nine month period.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements other than with respect to our properties located in Lakemoor and Wheaton, Illinois and Beachwood, Ohio. These properties are ground leases improved by multi-family properties and generated $2.8 million of rental income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, our maximum exposure to loss with respect to these properties is $34.0 million, representing the carrying value of the land; such leasehold positions are subordinate to an aggregate of $150.7 million of mortgage debt incurred by our tenants, the owner/operators of the multi-family properties. These owner/operators are affiliated with one another. We do not believe this type of off-balance sheet arrangement has been or will be material to our liquidity and capital resource positions. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these arrangements.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

 

We compute funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the ‘‘White Paper on Funds From Operations’’ issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (‘‘NAREIT’’) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization (including amortization of deferred leasing costs), plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets. We compute adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by adjusting from FFO for our straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, deducting lease termination fees and gain on extinguishment of debt and adding back amortization of restricted stock compensation, amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities (including our share of our unconsolidated joint ventures) and debt prepayment costs. Since the NAREIT White Paper does not provide guidelines for computing AFFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.

 

We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions.

 

FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders.

 

Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our primary market risk exposure is the effect of changes in interest rates on the interest cost of draws on our revolving variable rate credit facility and the effect of changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.

 

We use interest rate swaps to limit interest rate risk on variable rate mortgages. These swaps are used for hedging purposes-not for speculation. We do not enter into interest rate swaps for trading purposes.  At September 30, 2017, our aggregate liability in the event of the early termination of our swaps was $2.5 million.

 

At September 30, 2017, we had 31 interest rate swap agreements outstanding (including two held by three of our unconsolidated joint ventures). The fair market value of the interest rate swaps is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. As of September 30, 2017, if there had been an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps would have increased by approximately $8.0 million and the net unrealized loss on derivative instruments would have decreased by $8.0 million.  If there were a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps would have decreased by approximately $8.6 million and the net unrealized loss on derivative instruments would have increased by $8.6 million. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.

 

42



Table of Contents

 

Our mortgage debt, after giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, bears interest at fixed rates and accordingly, the effect of changes in interest rates would not impact the amount of interest expense that we incur under these mortgages.

 

Our variable rate credit facility is sensitive to interest rate changes. At September 30, 2017, a 100 basis point increase of the interest rate on this facility would increase our related interest costs over the next twelve months by approximately $64,000 and a 100 basis point decrease of the interest rate would decrease our related interest costs over the next twelve months by approximately $64,000.

 

The fair market value of our long-term debt is estimated based on discounting future cash flows at interest rates that our management believes reflect the risks associated with long term debt of similar risk and duration.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
