NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS

Description of Business

The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a diversified real estate operating company. As of September 30, 2018, we owned and managed thirty-six commercial real estate properties in thirteen states in the United States. As of September 30, 2018, we owned twenty-nine single-tenant and seven multi-tenant income-producing properties with approximately 2.1 million square feet of gross leasable space. For a description of properties acquired subsequent to September 30, 2018, see Note 21, “Subsequent Events.” As of September 30, 2018, we have no commercial loan investments. We also own and manage a portfolio of undeveloped land totaling approximately 5,500 acres in Daytona Beach, Florida. We have golf operations which consist of the LPGA International Golf Club, also located in Daytona Beach, which is managed by a third party. We also lease some of our land for eighteen billboards, have agricultural operations that are managed by a third party, which consist of leasing land for hay production and timber harvesting, and own and manage Subsurface Interests (hereinafter defined). The results of our agricultural and subsurface leasing operations are included in Agriculture and Other Income and Real Estate Operations, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. Any real estate entities or properties included in the consolidated financial statements have been consolidated only for the periods that such entities or properties were owned or under control by us. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, which amends its guidance on the recognition and reporting of revenue from contracts with customers. In April 2016, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers was issued. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company completed its evaluation of the provisions during the year ended December 31, 2017 and determined there was no impact on the Company’s revenue recognition within the consolidated financial statements. All required disclosures relating to FASB ASC Topic 606 have been implemented herein as required by the standard. The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method.

Table of Contents

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, relating to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 effective January 1, 2018 and determined there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires entities to recognize assets and liabilities that arise from financing and operating leases and to classify those finance and operating lease payments in the financing or operating sections, respectively, of the statement of cash flows pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

During the Company’s evaluation of FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, during the third quarter of 2018, the following practical expedients and accounting policies with respect to ASC 842 will be elected and/or adopted effective January 1, 2019:

·

The Company, as lessee and as lessor, will not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases or (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.

·

The Company, as lessee, will not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term (twelve months or less) leases. Instead, the Company, as lessee, will recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As of the date of this report, the Company has no such short-term leases.

·

The Company, as lessor, will not separate nonlease components from lease components and, instead, will account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606. The primary reason for this election is related to instances where common area maintenance is, or may be, a component of base rent within a lease agreement.

The Company completed its evaluation FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases during the third quarter of 2018 with following conclusions with regards to implementation effective January 1, 2019:

·

The Company has elected to implement ASC 842 retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption, January 1, 2019, through a cumulative-effect adjustment. We estimate an immaterial adjustment to increase right-of use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases for which the Company is the lessee. The Company does not anticipate any adjustment related to the leases for which the Company is the lessor.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which clarifies the appropriate classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2018 and determined there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which addresses diversity in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows as operating, investing, or financing activities. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018 and has classified the changes in restricted cash between operating, investing, and financing in the consolidated statements of cash flows as applicable per the new guidance. 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, which amends the guidance allowing for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act effective January 1, 2018 (the “2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”). The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of September 30, 2018 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled approximately $8.5 million at September 30, 2018 of which approximately $1.2 million is being held in three separate escrow accounts related to three separate land transactions which closed in December 2013, February 2017, and March 2018; approximately $6.5 million is being held in two separate escrow accounts to be reinvested through the like-kind exchange structure into other income properties; approximately $197,000 is being held in a capital replacement reserve account in connection with our financing of six income properties with Wells Fargo Bank, NA (“Wells Fargo”); and approximately $620,000 is being held in a leasing reserve in connection with our acquisition of the property in Aspen, Colorado in February 2018.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activity

Interest Rate Swap. In conjunction with the variable-rate mortgage loan secured by our property located in Raleigh, North Carolina leased to Wells Fargo, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate (the “Interest Rate Swap”). The Company accounts for its cash flow hedging derivative in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging. Depending upon the hedge’s value at each balance sheet date, the derivative is included in either Other Assets or Accrued and Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value. On the date the Interest Rate Swap was entered into, the Company designated the derivative as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to the recognized long-term debt liability.

The Company formally documented the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. At the hedge’s inception, the Company formally assessed whether the derivative that is used in hedging the transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item, and we will continue to do so on an ongoing basis. As the terms of the Interest Rate Swap and the associated debt are identical, the Interest Rate Swap qualifies for the shortcut method, therefore, it is assumed that there is no hedge ineffectiveness throughout the entire term of the Interest Rate Swap.

Changes in fair value of the Interest Rate Swap that are highly effective and designated and qualified as a cash-flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s investments in variable rate commercial loans approximates fair value at December 31, 2017, since the floating rates of the loans reasonably approximate current market rates for notes with similar risks and maturities. There were no investments in variable rate commercial loans as of September 30, 2018. The carrying value of the Company’s credit facility approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The face value of the Company’s fixed rate commercial loan investment, mortgage notes, and convertible debt is measured at fair value based on current market rates for financial instruments with similar risks and maturities. See Note 7, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is based on the framework established by GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. GAAP describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

·

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

11


 

Table of Contents

·

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

·

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Recognition of Interest Income from Commercial Loan Investments

Interest income on commercial loan investments includes interest payments made by the borrower and the accretion of purchase discounts and loan origination fees, offset by the amortization of loan costs. Interest payments are accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance, and purchase discounts and loan origination fees are accreted into income using the effective yield method, adjusted for prepayments.

Impact Fees and Mitigation Credits

Impact fees and mitigation credits are stated at historical cost. As these assets are sold, the related revenues and cost basis are reported as revenues from, and direct costs of, real estate operations, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable related to income properties, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of tenant reimbursable expenses. Receivables related to tenant reimbursable expenses totaled approximately $356,000 and $895,000 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Accounts receivable related to real estate operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, totaled approximately $2.1 million and $2.2 million as of as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As more fully described in Note 10, “Other Assets,” these accounts receivable are primarily related to the reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs completed by the Company in conjunction with two land sale transactions that closed during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Trade accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables related to the golf operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Trade accounts receivable related to golf operations, which primarily consist of amounts due from members or from private events, totaled approximately $244,000 and $349,000 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  

The collectability of the aforementioned receivables is determined based on the aging of the receivable and a review of the specifically identified accounts using judgments. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease

In accordance with the FASB guidance on business combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on the determination of the fair values of these assets.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding

12


 

Table of Contents

in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease, including the probability of renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless the Company believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the option whereby the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as-if-vacant, determined as set forth above. The value of in-place leases exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off. The value of tenant relationships is reviewed on individual transactions to determine if future value was derived from the acquisition.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations which clarified the definition of a business. Pursuant to ASU 2017-01, the acquisition of an income property subject to a lease no longer qualifies as a business combination, but rather an asset acquisition, accordingly acquisition costs have been capitalized.

Sales of Real Estate

Gains and losses on sales of real estate are accounted for as required by FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of real estate when the Company transfers the promised goods and/or services in the contract based on the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations within the contract. As market information becomes available, real estate cost basis is analyzed and recorded at the lower of cost or market.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes result primarily from the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. See Note 18, “Income Taxes.” In June 2006, the FASB issued additional guidance, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements included in income taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In accordance with FASB guidance included in income taxes, the Company has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions and believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. Additionally, the Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to the FASB guidance.

NOTE 3. INCOME PROPERTIES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company acquired one single-tenant income property for a purchase price of $28.0 million, or an acquisition cost of approximately $29.0 million including capitalized acquisition costs. Of the total acquisition cost, approximately $12.0 million was allocated to land, approximately $15.0 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, approximately $2.8 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value, leasing fees and above market lease value, and approximately $0.8 million was allocated to intangible liabilities for the below market lease value. The weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets and liabilities was approximately 20.0 years at acquisition. The property acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is described below:

In conjunction with the acquisition of the property in Aspen, Colorado, the master tenant contributed approximately $1.5 million of the purchase price, resulting in a net cash investment by the Company of approximately $26.5 million. The $1.5 million purchase price contribution is reflected as deferred revenue and will be accreted into income property rental revenue over the term of the lease.

For a description of properties acquired subsequent to September 30, 2018, see Note 21, “Subsequent Events.”

As more fully described in Note 5, “Land and Subsurface Interests,” in January 2018, construction was completed, and the leases commenced on two restaurant properties on the Company’s six-acre beachfront parcel. The tenants, LandShark Bar & Grill and Cocina 214 Restaurant & Bar, both commenced operations in January 2018.

Four income properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On March 26, 2018, the Company sold its four self-developed, multi-tenant office properties located in Daytona Beach, Florida, for approximately $11.4 million (the “Self-Developed Properties Sale”). The sale included the 22,012 square-foot Concierge office building, the 30,720 square-foot Mason Commerce Center comprised of two office buildings, and the 15,360 square-foot Williamson Business Park office building. The gain on the sale totaled approximately $3.7 million, or approximately $0.49 per share, after tax. The Company utilized the proceeds to fund a portion of the previously acquired income property located near Portland, Oregon, leased to Wells Fargo, through a reverse 1031 like-kind exchange structure. As part of the transaction, the Company entered into a lease of its approximately 7,600 square-foot office space in Williamson Business Park for approximately 5 years at a market rental rate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company acquired three single-tenant income properties and two multi-tenant income properties, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $40.0 million, or an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately $40.7 million including capitalized acquisition costs. Of the total acquisition cost, approximately $18.0 million was allocated to land, approximately $19.3 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, approximately $4.9 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value, leasing fees and above market lease value, and approximately $1.5 million was allocated to intangible liabilities for the below market lease value. The weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets and liabilities was approximately 9.8 years at acquisition.

No income properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 4. COMMERCIAL LOAN INVESTMENTS

Our investments in commercial loans or similar structured finance investments, such as mezzanine loans or other subordinated debt, have been and are expected to continue to be secured by commercial or residential real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in the entity that owns the real estate. The first mortgage loans we invest in or originate are for commercial real estate located in the United States and its territories, and are current or performing with either a fixed or floating rate. Some of these loans may be syndicated in either a pari-passu or senior/subordinated structure. Commercial first mortgage loans generally provide for a higher recovery rate due to their senior position in the underlying collateral. Commercial mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of the borrower’s equity ownership in the underlying commercial real estate. Unlike a mortgage, a mezzanine loan is not secured by a lien on the property. An investor’s rights in a mezzanine loan are usually governed by an intercreditor agreement that provides holders with the rights to cure defaults and exercise control on certain decisions of any senior debt secured by the same commercial property.

On June 13, 2018, the variable rate B-Note (the “B-Note”) held by the Company and secured by real estate located in Sarasota, Florida, matured and was repaid by the borrower. The Company purchased the B-Note in May 2014. The proceeds of approximately $9.0 million were used to pay down the Company’s Credit Facility.

On August 10, 2018, the $3.0 million fixed rate first mortgage loan held by the Company and secured by real estate located in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, matured and was repaid by the borrower.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no commercial loan investments.

The Company’s commercial loan investment portfolio was comprised of the following at December 31, 2017:

NOTE 5. LAND AND SUBSURFACE INTERESTS

As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned approximately 5,500 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida, along six miles of the west and east sides of Interstate 95. Currently, the majority of this land is used for agricultural purposes. As of October 26, 2018, approximately 64% of this acreage, or nearly 3,500 acres, is under contract to be sold. Approximately 1,000 acres of our land holdings are located on the east side of Interstate 95 and are generally well suited for commercial development. Approximately 4,500 acres of our land holdings are located on the west side of Interstate 95 and the majority of this land is generally well suited for residential development. Included in the western land is approximately 1,000 acres, primarily an 850-acre parcel and three smaller parcels, which are located further west of Interstate 95 and a few miles north of Interstate 4 that are generally well suited for industrial purposes.

(1)The gain recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 on the Buc-ee’s sale totaling approximately $11.9 million excludes approximately $831,000 held in an escrow reserve related to the portion of the acreage sold for which the Company remains obligated to perform wetlands mitigation. The Company expects to recognize the remaining gain of approximately $831,000 upon completion of the mitigation work. See Note 16, “Deferred Revenue”.

Mitigation Bank. The mitigation bank transaction consists of the sale of a 70% interest in the entity that holds approximately 2,492 acres of land that has been permitted for the creation of a wetland mitigation bank (the “Venture” or the “Mitigation Bank”). The purchaser of the 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank is comprised of certain funds and accounts managed by an investment advisor subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). The Company retained an approximately 30% non-controlling interest in the Mitigation Bank. A third-party was retained by the Venture as the day-to-day manager of the Mitigation Bank property, responsible for the maintenance, generation, tracking, and other aspects of wetland mitigation credits.

The Mitigation Bank intends to engage in the creation and sale of both federal and state wetland mitigation credits. These credits will be created pursuant to the applicable permits that have been or will be issued to the Venture from the federal and state regulatory agencies that exercise jurisdiction over the awarding of such credits, but no assurances can be given as to the issuance, marketability or value of the credits. The Venture received the permit from the state regulatory agency on June 8, 2018 (the “State Permit”). The state regulatory agency may award up to 355 state credits under the State Permit. On August 6, 2018, the state regulatory agency awarded the initial 88.84 credits under the State Permit. Receipt of the remaining federal permit is anticipated to occur prior to the end of the year.

Table of Contents

The gain on the sale of the 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank totaled approximately $18.4 million and is comprised of the gain on the sale of 70% interest for proceeds of $15.3 million as well as the gain on the retained 30% interest pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 610-20, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. The gain is included in the Gain on Disposition of Assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2018, the approximately $6.7 million Investment in Joint Venture included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is comprised of the fair market value of the 30% retained interest in the Venture.

The operating agreement of the Venture (the “Operating Agreement”) executed in conjunction with the mitigation bank transaction stipulates that the Company shall arrange for sales of the Venture’s mitigation credits to unrelated third parties totaling no less than $6 million of revenue to the Mitigation Bank, net of commissions, by the end of 2020, utilizing a maximum of 60 mitigation credits (the “Minimum Sales Requirement”). The Operating Agreement stipulates that if the Minimum Sales Requirement is not achieved, then BlackRock has the right, but is not required, to have the Company purchase the number of mitigation credits necessary to reach the Minimum Sales Requirement (the “Minimum Sales Guarantee”). The Company estimates the fair value of the Minimum Sales Guarantee to be approximately $100,000 which was recorded as a reduction in the gain on the transaction and is included in Accrued and Other Liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018.

Additionally, the Operating Agreement provides BlackRock the right to cause the Company to purchase a maximum of 8.536 mitigation credits per quarter (the “Commitment Amount”) from the Mitigation Bank at a price equal to 60% of the then fair market value for mitigation credits (the “Put Right”). The Put Right is applicable even if the Mitigation Bank has not yet been awarded a sufficient number of mitigation credits by the applicable federal and state regulatory agencies. Further, in any quarter that BlackRock does not exercise its Put Right, the unexercised Commitment Amount for the applicable quarter may be rolled over to future calendar quarters. However, the Operating Agreement also stipulates that any amount of third-party sales of mitigation credits will reduce the Put Rights outstanding on a one-for-one basis, if the sales price of the third-party sales equals or exceeds the prices stipulated by the Put Right. Further, any sales of mitigation credits to third parties at the requisite minimum prices in a quarter that exceeds the quarterly amount of the Put Right, will reduce the Put Rights in future calendar quarters on a one-for-one basis. The maximum potential of future payments for the Company pursuant to the Put Right is approximately $27 million. The Company estimates the fair value of the Put Right to be approximately $200,000, which was recorded as a reduction in the gain on the transaction and is included in Accrued and Other Liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018.

2017 Land Sales. No land sales were completed during the three months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a total of approximately 1,669 acres were sold for approximately $40.5 million as described below:

Beachfront Development. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed the construction of two single-tenant restaurants located on the Company’s six-acre beachfront property with a cost basis of approximately $11.7 million, which was included in Land and Development Costs on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. The total cost of construction was approximately $6.8 million. Upon completion of the construction and commencement of the tenant leases (described herein), the total basis of approximately $18.5 million was transferred to Income Properties, Land, Buildings, and Improvements from Land and Development Costs and Construction in Process on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s 15-year lease agreement with the operator of LandShark Bar & Grill, for the approximately 6,264 square foot restaurant property, includes annual rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s net operating income (“NOI”) until the Company has received its investment basis in the property; thereafter, the Company will receive a lower percentage of the tenant’s NOI during the remaining lease term. The Company’s 15-year lease agreement with the operator of Cocina 214 Restaurant & Bar, for the second restaurant property includes annual rent equal to the greater of $360,000 per year or a certain percentage of gross sales, and also provides for additional percentage rent upon the achievement of certain gross sales thresholds.

Daytona Beach Development. We may selectively acquire other real estate in the downtown and beachside areas of Daytona Beach, Florida. We may target either vacant land or land with existing structures that we would demolish and develop into additional income properties. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company acquired a 3-acre parcel of land with existing structures in downtown Daytona Beach, Florida, for a purchase price of approximately $2.0 million. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has also acquired other contiguous parcels for a total of approximately 1.1-acres for approximately $1.8 million. We intend to pursue the potential redevelopment of these parcels, which are located nearly adjacent to the location of the future headquarters of Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE: BRO), along with certain other adjacent land parcels, some of which we have under contract for purchase. We intend for our investments in the Daytona Beach area to target opportunistic acquisitions of select catalyst sites, which are typically distressed, with an objective of having short investment horizons. We may seek to partner with developers to develop the sites acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and any other sites we acquire, rather than self-develop the properties.

Other Real Estate Assets. The Company owns impact fees with a cost basis of approximately $79,000 and mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $460,000 for a combined total of approximately $539,000 as of September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company transferred mitigation credits with a basis of approximately $124,000 to the land acquired by Buc-ee’s. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold mitigation credits for approximately $1.0 million, for a gain of approximately $882,000, or $0.12 per share, after tax. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold mitigation credits for approximately $1.5 million, for a gain of approximately $1.2 million, or $0.14 per share, after tax. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company received cash payments of approximately $251,000 and $506,000, respectively, for impact fees with a cost basis that was generally of equal value. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, impact fees with a cost basis of approximately $72,000 were transferred to the beachfront restaurant leased to LandShark Bar & Grill.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company owned impact fees with a cost basis of approximately $402,000 and mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $723,000 for a combined total of approximately $1.1 million.

Subsurface Interests. As of September 30, 2018, the Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interests underlying approximately 455,000 “surface” acres of land owned by others in 20 counties in Florida (the “Subsurface Interests”). The Company leases certain of the Subsurface Interests to mineral exploration firms for exploration. Our subsurface operations consist of revenue from the leasing of exploration rights and in some instances, additional revenues from royalties applicable to production from the leased acreage.

There were no subsurface sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold approximately 38,750 acres of subsurface interests in Osceola County, Florida for approximately $2.1 million (the “Osceola Subsurface Sale”). The gain from the Osceola Subsurface Sale totaled approximately $2.08 million, or $0.23 per share, after tax.

During 2011, an eight-year oil exploration lease was executed covering a portion of our Subsurface Interests. On September 20, 2017, the Company amended the oil exploration lease to, among other things, extend the expiration of the original term for five additional years to the new expiration date of September 22, 2024. The lease is effectively thirteen one-year terms as the lessee has the option to terminate the lease at the end of each lease year. The lessee has exercised renewal options through lease year eight ending September 22, 2019. The terms of the lease state the Company will

receive royalty payments if production occurs, and may receive additional annual rental payments if the lease is continued in years nine through thirteen. The lease calls for annual lease payments which are recognized as revenue ratably over the respective twelve-month lease periods. Pursuant to the amendment for the Year 8 renewal the annual lease payment is to be paid in installments. In addition, non-refundable drilling penalty payments are made as required by the drilling requirements in the lease which are recognized as revenue when earned, i.e. when the amount is agreed upon.

(1)Generally, cash payment for the Lease Payment and Drilling Penalty is received on or before the first day of the lease year. The Drilling Penalty, which is due within thirty days from the end of the prior lease year, is recorded as revenue when earned, i.e. when the amount is agreed upon, while the Lease Payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. Pursuant to the amendment for the Year 7 renewal, the Lease Payment and Drilling Penalty were both received on October 11, 2017. Pursuant to the amendment for the Year 8 renewal, the Lease Payment and Drilling Penalty are to be received in monthly installments. As of September 30, 2018, $400,000 of the total approximately $957,000 has been received pursuant to the payment schedule. See separate disclosure of revenue recognized per period below.

Lease income generated by the annual lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the guaranteed lease term. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, lease income of approximately $203,000 and $603,000 was recognized. There can be no assurance that the oil exploration lease will be extended beyond the expiration of the current term of September 22, 2019 or, if extended, the terms or conditions of such extension.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company also received oil royalties from operating oil wells on 800 acres under a separate lease with a separate operator. Revenues received from oil royalties totaled approximately $11,000 and $19,000, during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenues received from oil royalties totaled approximately $50,000 and $69,000, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company is not prohibited from the disposition of any or all of its Subsurface Interests. Should the Company complete a transaction to sell all or a portion of its Subsurface Interests, the Company may utilize the like-kind exchange structure in acquiring one or more replacement investments including income-producing properties. The Company may release surface entry rights or other rights upon request of a surface owner for a negotiated release fee typically based on a percentage of the surface value. 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed a transaction releasing our surface entry rights on approximately 600 acres in exchange for approximately $185,000 in cash and fee title to approximately 40 additional acres in Hendry County, valued at approximately $320,000. Including the non-cash value received, the gain from the transaction totaled approximately $435,000, or $0.06 per share, after tax. The Company also received cash payments for the release of surface entry rights of approximately $73,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no releases of surface entry rights during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 9. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of long-lived assets required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, executed purchase and sale agreements on specific properties, third party valuations, discounted cash flow models, and other model-based techniques.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 there were no impairment charges on the Company’s undeveloped land holdings or its income property portfolio.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company wrote down the value of the golf operation assets, which resulted in a corresponding impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.15 per share, after tax. The write-down of the golf operation assets to approximately $3.1 million and the related $1.1 million impairment charge were the result of the Company’s assessment of certain triggering events, including activities related to a review of strategic alternatives for the golf operations, occurring during the quarter which required an assessment of the carrying value of the golf operating assets.

There were no impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

2026, offset by approximately $277,000 of accumulated amortization which has been recognized as an offset to rental revenue. The remaining balance will be amortized over the remaining term of the leases.

Infrastructure Reimbursement Receivables. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Infrastructure Reimbursement Receivables were all related to the land sales within the Tomoka Town Center. The balance as of September 30, 2018 consisted of approximately $1.6 million due from Tanger for infrastructure reimbursement to be repaid in nine remaining annual installments of $175,000, net of a discount of approximately $158,000, and approximately $770,000 due from Sam’s Club for infrastructure reimbursement to be repaid in seven remaining annual installments of $110,000, net of a discount of approximately $62,000.

Deferred Deal Costs. Deferred Deal Costs represent legal costs incurred in advance of the potential execution of and/or closing of a contract for the disposition of assets, primarily land sales. The costs are deferred and expensed at the time the transaction closes or at the time it becomes evident that the transaction will not be completed.

NOTE 11. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the assumption of the conversion of stock options and vesting of restricted stock at the beginning of each period using the treasury stock method at average cost for the periods.

There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The effect of 70,000 potentially dilutive securities was not included for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The effect of 15,000 and 77,750 potentially dilutive securities was not included for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company intends to settle its 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”) in cash upon conversion with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. Therefore, only the amount in excess of the par value of the Convertible Notes will be included in our calculation of diluted net income per share using the treasury stock method. As such, the Convertible Notes have no impact on diluted net income per share until the price of our common stock exceeds the current conversion price of $68.58. The average price of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 did not exceed the conversion price which resulted in no additional diluted outstanding shares.

NOTE 12. TREASURY STOCK

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company announced a $10 million stock repurchase program (the “$10 Million Repurchase Program”) under which approximately $4.6 million of the Company’s common stock had been repurchased as of December 31, 2017. On July 18, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of approximately $7.1 million to the stock repurchase program, refreshing the total program to an aggregate of $10 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 66,203 shares of its common stock on the open

market for a total cost of approximately $4.0 million, or an average price per share of $60.07. The shares of the Company’s common stock repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were returned to the Company’s treasury.

(1)Secured by the Company’s interest in six income properties. The mortgage loan carries a fixed rate of 4.33% per annum during the first ten years of the term, and requires payments of interest only during the first ten years of the loan. After the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan, the cash flows, as defined in the related loan agreement, generated by the underlying six income properties must be used to pay down the principal balance of the loan until paid off or until the loan matures. The loan is fully pre-payable after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan.

(2)Secured by the Company’s income property leased to Wells Fargo located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The mortgage loan has a 5-year term with two years interest only, and interest and a 25-year amortization for the balance of the term. The mortgage loan bears a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of 190 basis points. The interest rate for this mortgage loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 3.17%. The mortgage loan can be prepaid at any time subject to the termination of the interest rate swap. Amortization of the principal balance began in May 2018.

Credit Facility. The Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) serving as the administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, is unsecured with regard to our income property portfolio but is guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by BMO and also includes Wells Fargo and Branch Banking & Trust Company. On September 7, 2017, the Company executed the second amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility (the “2017 Amended Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, the Credit Facility matures on September 7, 2021,  with the ability to extend the term for 1 year.

On May 14, 2018, the Company executed the first amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “2018 Revolver Amendment”). As a result of the 2018 Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility has a total borrowing capacity of $150.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $250.0 million during the term, subject to lender approval. The Credit Facility provides the lenders with a secured interest in the equity of the Company subsidiaries that own the properties included in the borrowing base. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 150 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 220 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company, as defined in the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, as amended by the 2018 Revolver Amendment. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity.

At September 30, 2018, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $150.0 million. The available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was approximately $99.0 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets. As of September 30, 2018, the Credit Facility had a $50.7 million balance outstanding.

In connection with the October 2018 Acquisitions (hereinafter defined in Note 21, “Subsequent Events”), the Company utilized approximately $70.0 million from the Credit Facility to fund the acquisitions. As a result of the $70.0 million draw, as of October 26, 2018, the Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of approximately $120.7 million and

26


 

Table of Contents

available borrowing capacity of approximately $29.0 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets and current commitment level of $150.0 million.

The Credit Facility is subject to customary restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial maintenance covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum indebtedness ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative covenants and events of default including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change of control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Notes Payable. In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has certain other borrowings, as noted in the table above, all of which are non-recourse.

Convertible Debt. The Company’s $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2020, unless earlier purchased or converted. The initial conversion rate was 14.5136 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $68.90 per share of common stock. Since July of 2016, when the Company’s Board of Directors implemented a quarterly dividend in place of the previous semi-annual dividend, the conversion rate has been adjusted with each successive quarterly dividend and is currently, after the third quarter 2018 dividend, equal to 14.5701 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of approximately $68.58 per share of common stock.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may not surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion prior to December 15, 2019, except upon the occurrence of certain conditions relating to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, or specified corporate events including a change in control of the Company. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the stated maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are convertible, at the election of the Company, into solely cash, solely shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to settle the Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion, with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. In accordance with GAAP, the Convertible Notes are accounted for as a liability with a separate equity component recorded for the conversion option. A liability was recorded for the Convertible Notes on the issuance date at fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current market rates for debt instruments with similar terms. The difference between the initial proceeds from the Convertible Notes and the estimated fair value of the debt instruments resulted in a debt discount, with an offset recorded to additional paid-in capital representing the equity component. The discount on the Convertible Notes was approximately $6.1 million at issuance, which represents the cash discount paid of approximately $2.6 million and the approximate $3.5 million attributable to the value of the conversion option recorded in equity, which is being amortized into interest expense through the maturity date of the Convertible Notes. As of September 30, 2018, the unamortized debt discount of our Convertible Notes was approximately $2.0 million.

NOTE 14. INTEREST RATE SWAP

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for the $24.7 million mortgage note payable as discussed in Note 13, “Long-Term Debt.” During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the interest rate swap agreement was 100% effective. Accordingly, the change in fair value on the interest rate swap has been classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2018, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement, which was a gain of approximately $943,000, was included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap was effective on April 7, 2016 and matures on April 7, 2021. The interest rate swap fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $24.7 million to a rate of 3.17%.

Golf $1 Round Surcharge. On January 24, 2017, the Company acquired the land and improvements comprising the golf courses, previously leased from the City, for approximately $1.5 million (the “Golf Course Land Purchase”). In connection with the Golf Course Land Purchase,  each year the Company is obligated to pay the City additional consideration in the amount of an annual surcharge of $1 per golf round played (the “Per-Round Surcharge”) with an annual minimum Per-Round Surcharge of $70,000 and a maximum aggregate of Per-Round Surcharges of $700,000. The maximum amount of $700,000 represents contingent consideration and was recorded as an increase in Golf Buildings, Improvements, and Equipment and Accrued and Other Liabilities in the accompany consolidated balance sheets. The first annual payment was made in January 2018 leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $630,000 as of September 30, 2018.

Tenant Leasing Reserve Escrow. In connection with the acquisition of the property in Aspen, Colorado on February 21, 2018, the master tenant funded approximately $2.25 million at closing which is being held by the Company in a leasing reserve. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 eligible costs totaling approximately $1.6 million were funded from the escrow account which included approximately $935,000 of the Company’s costs incurred related to the property acquisition and approximately $696,000 in base rent payments, leaving a remaining escrow balance of approximately $620,000. The balance can be used for eligible costs which, pursuant to the lease, include rent payments up to a maximum of $1.0 million and taxes, insurance, leasing commissions, tenant improvements, or other third-party operating expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the property.

Reserve for Tenant Improvements. The reduction of the balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflects the payment of approximately $2.7 million for a tenant improvement allowance provided to Hilton Grand Vacations in conjunction with the extension of their leases of two buildings from November 30, 2021 to November 30, 2026 which was accrued for as of December 31, 2017. In addition, in connection with the acquisition on April 28, 2017, of the property in Tampa, Florida, leased to LA Fitness, the Company was credited approximately $400,000 at closing for certain tenant improvements. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the tenant completed the improvements and the Company funded $400,000 to LA Fitness.

Environmental Reserve. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company accrued an environmental reserve of approximately $110,000 in connection with an estimate of additional costs required to monitor a parcel of less than one acre of land owned by the Company in Highlands County, Florida, on which environmental remediation work had previously been performed. The Company engaged legal counsel who, in turn, engaged environmental engineers to review the site and the prior monitoring test results. During the year ended December 31, 2015, their review was completed, and the Company made an additional accrual of approximately $500,000, representing the low end of the range of possible costs estimated by the engineers to be between approximately $500,000 and $1.0 million to resolve this matter subject to the approval of the state department of environmental protection (the “FDEP”). The FDEP issued a Remedial Action Plan Modification Approval Order (the “FDEP Approval”) in August 2016 which supports the approximate $500,000 accrual made in 2015. The Company is implementing the remediation plan pursuant to the FDEP Approval. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made an additional accrual of approximately $51,000 for the second year of monitoring as the low end of the original range of estimated costs was increased for the amount of monitoring now anticipated. Since the total accrual of approximately $661,000 was made, approximately $563,000 in costs have been incurred through September 30, 2018, leaving a remaining accrual of approximately $98,000.

Restoration Accrual. As part of the resolution of a regulatory matter pertaining to the Company’s prior agricultural activities on certain of the Company’s land located in Daytona Beach, Florida, as of December 31, 2015, the Company accrued an obligation of approximately $1.7 million, representing the low end of the estimated range of possible wetlands restoration costs for approximately 148.4 acres within such land, and such estimated costs were included on the consolidated balance sheets as an increase in the basis of our land and development costs associated with those and benefitting surrounding acres. The final proposal for restoration work was received during the second quarter of 2016 which totaled approximately $2.0 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $300,000 was recorded during the second quarter of 2016. The Company has funded approximately $1.6 million of the total $2.0 million of estimated costs through the period ended September 30, 2018, leaving a remaining accrual of approximately $453,000. This matter is more fully described in Note 19 “Commitments and Contingencies.”

Deferred Oil Exploration Lease Revenue. Pursuant to the amendment for the Year 8 renewal of the oil exploration lease, the annual lease payment is approximately $807,000, which is being recognized ratably over the twelve-month lease period ending in September 2019. As of September 30, 2018, $400,000 of the total approximately $807,000 lease payment has been received with the remainder due in four equal monthly installments. The oil exploration lease is more fully described in Note 5 “Land and Subsurface Interests.”

Deferred Revenue on Land Sales. In conjunction with the land sale to Buc-ee’s in March 2018, the Company funded an escrow account for approximately $831,000 related to the portion of the acreage sold for which the Company remains obligated to perform wetlands mitigation. As a result of the Company’s continuing obligation, approximately $831,000 of the sales price collected at closing was deferred and the revenue will be recognized upon the Company’s performance of the obligation. The Company estimates the obligation related to the wetlands mitigation will total approximately $25,000.

 

Tenant Contributions. In connection with the acquisition of the property in Aspen, Colorado, the master tenant contributed $1.5 million of the $28.0 million purchase price at closing on February 21, 2018. Additionally, the master tenant funded, from its leasing reserve escrow, approximately $935,000 of the Company’s acquisition-related costs. Approximately $71,000 was recognized into income property rental revenue through September 30, 2018, leaving an aggregate balance of approximately $2.4 million, related to the Company’s total acquisition cost of approximately $29.0 million, to be recognized over the remaining term of the lease.

In connection with the construction of the beachfront restaurant leased to Cocina 214 Restaurant & Bar in Daytona Beach, Florida, the tenant contributed approximately $1.9 million of the building and tenant improvements owned by the Company through direct payments to various third-party construction vendors. Approximately $86,000 was recognized into income property rental revenue through September 30, 2018, leaving a balance of approximately $1.8 million to be recognized over the remaining term of the lease.

EQUITY-CLASSIFIED STOCK COMPENSATION

Performance Share Awards – Peer Group Market Condition Vesting

On February 3, 2017, the Company awarded to certain employees 12,635 Performance Shares under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The Performance Shares awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of Performance Shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock so vesting will be determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2017, and ending on December 31, 2019.

On January 24, 2018, the Company awarded to certain employees 15,445 Performance Shares under the 2010 Plan. The Performance Shares awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of Performance Shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock so vesting will be determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2018, and ending on December 31, 2020.

Pursuant to amendments to the employment agreements and certain restricted share award agreements entered into by the Company on August 4, 2017, the restricted shares granted thereunder, if they are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, will fully vest following a change in control only if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or if the executive resigns for good reason (as such terms are defined in the executive’s employment agreement), in each case, at any time during the 24-month period following the change in control (as defined in the executive’s employment agreement).

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its awards that are based on market conditions. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price

volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and shareholder returns to companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

As of September 30, 2018, there was approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to Performance Share awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Market Condition Restricted Shares – Stock Price Vesting

“Inducement” grants of 96,000 and 17,000 shares of restricted Company common stock were awarded to John P. Albright and Mark E. Patten in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Mr. Albright’s restricted shares were granted outside of the 2010 Plan while Mr. Patten’s restricted shares were awarded under the 2010 Plan. The Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 to register the resale of Mr. Albright’s restricted stock under this award. The restricted shares were to vest in six increments based upon the price per share of the Company’s common stock during the term of their employment (or within sixty days after termination of employment by the Company without cause) meeting or exceeding the target trailing sixty-day average closing prices ranging from $36 per share for the first increment to $65 per share for the final increment. If any increment of the restricted shares were to fail to satisfy the applicable stock price condition prior to six years from the grant date, that increment of the restricted shares would have been forfeited. The first four increments of Mr. Albright’s awards vested, while the remaining 32,000 unvested “inducement” grant restricted shares, for the $60 and $65 price increments, awarded to Mr. Albright in 2011, expired without vesting on August 1, 2017. As of September 30, 2018, all six increments of Mr. Patten’s grants had vested.

Additional grants of 2,500 and 3,000 shares of restricted Company common stock were awarded to Daniel E. Smith and Steven R. Greathouse under the 2010 Plan, during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, respectively. The restricted shares were to vest in two increments based upon the price per share of Company common stock during the term of their employment (or within sixty days after termination of employment by the Company without cause), meeting or exceeding the target trailing sixty-day average closing prices of $60 per share and $65 per share for the two increments. If any increment of the restricted shares were to fail to satisfy the applicable stock price condition prior to six years from the grant date, that increment of the restricted shares would have been forfeited. As of September 30, 2018, both increments of Mr. Smith’s and Mr. Greathouse’s awards had vested.

A grant of 94,000 shares of restricted Company common stock was awarded to Mr. Albright under the 2010 Plan during the second quarter of 2015 under a new five-year employment agreement. On February 26, 2016, 72,000 of these shares were surrendered due to an over-grant by the Company, of which (i) 4,000 were re-granted on February 26, 2016 with terms identical to those of the surrendered restricted stock, and (ii) 68,000 were permanently surrendered. The 26,000 shares of restricted Company common stock outstanding from these grants were to vest in four increments based upon the price per share of Company common stock during the term of his employment (or within sixty days after termination of employment by the Company without cause), meeting or exceeding the target trailing thirty-day average closing prices ranging from $60 and $65 per share for the first two increments of 2,000 shares each, $70 per share for the third increment of 18,000 shares, and $75 per share for the fourth increment of 4,000 shares. If any increment of the restricted shares fails to satisfy the applicable stock price condition prior to January 28, 2021, that increment of the restricted shares will be forfeited. As of September 30, 2018, the first two increments of this award had vested.

Pursuant to amendments to the employment agreements and certain restricted share award agreements entered into by the Company on February 26, 2016 and August 4, 2017, the restricted shares granted thereunder, if they are subject to

32

performance-based vesting conditions, will fully vest following a change in control only if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or if the executive resigns for good reason (as such terms are defined in the executive’s employment agreement), in each case, at any time during the 24-month period following the change in control (as defined in the executive’s employment agreement).

Three Year Vest Restricted Shares

On January 22, 2014, the Company granted to certain employees 14,500 shares of restricted Company common stock under the 2010 Plan. One-third of the restricted shares vested on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, provided the grantee was an employee of the Company on those dates.

On January 28, 2015, the Company granted to certain employees, which did not include Mr. Albright, 11,700 shares of restricted Company common stock under the 2010 Plan. Additionally, on February 9, 2015, the Company granted 8,000 shares of restricted Company common stock to Mr. Albright under the 2010 Plan. One-third of both awards of restricted shares vested on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 28, 2015, provided the grantee was an employee of the Company on those dates.

On January 27, 2016, the Company granted to certain employees 21,100 shares of restricted Company common stock under the 2010 Plan. One-third of the restricted shares will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 28, 2016, provided the grantee is an employee of the Company on those dates. In addition, any unvested portion of the restricted shares will vest upon a change in control.

On January 25, 2017, the Company granted to certain employees 17,451 shares of restricted Company common stock under the 2010 Plan. One-third of the restricted shares will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 28, 2017, provided the grantee is an employee of the Company on those dates. In addition, any unvested portion of the restricted shares will vest upon a change in control.

On January 24, 2018, the Company granted to certain employees 17,712 shares of restricted Company common stock under the 2010 Plan. One-third of the restricted shares will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 28, 2018, provided the grantee is an employee of the Company on those dates. In addition, any unvested portion of the restricted shares will vest upon a change in control.

Effective as of August 4, 2017, the Company entered into amendments to the employment agreements and certain stock option award agreements and restricted share award agreements whereby such awards will fully vest following a change in control (as defined in the executive’s employment agreement) only if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or if the executive resigns for good reason (as such terms are defined in the executive’s employment agreement), in each case, at any time during the 24-month period following the change in control.

Table of Contents

The Company’s determination of the fair value of the three-year vest restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date, less the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

No options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $349,000. As of September 30, 2018, there is no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-qualified, non-vested stock option awards.

LIABILITY-CLASSIFIED STOCK COMPENSATION

The Company previously had a stock option plan (the “2001 Plan”) pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were eligible for issuance. The 2001 Plan expired in 2010, and no new stock options may be issued under the 2001 Plan. Under the 2001 Plan, both stock options and stock appreciation rights were issued in prior years and such issuances were deemed to be liability-classified awards under the Share-Based Payment Topic of FASB ASC, which are required to be remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled.

 

There was no remaining liability as of December 31, 2017, because there were no options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2017.

NOTE 18. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 25.1% and 38.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, with the reduction being primarily attributable to the reduction in the Federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% resulting from the 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The provision for income taxes reflects the Company’s estimate of the effective rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for any discrete events, which are reported in the period that they occur. There were no discrete events during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

The Company files a consolidated income tax return in the United States Federal jurisdiction and the states of Arizona, Colorado, California, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington. The Internal Revenue Service has audited the federal tax returns through the year 2012, with all proposed adjustments settled. The Florida Department of Revenue has audited the Florida tax returns through the year 2014, with all proposed adjustments settled. The Company recognizes all potential accrued interest and penalties to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of its business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

On November 21, 2011, the Company, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC, as owners of the property leased to Harris Teeter, Inc. (“Harris Teeter”) in Charlotte, North Carolina, were served with pleadings filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for a highway condemnation action involving this property. The proposed road modifications would impact access to the property. The Company does not believe the road modifications provided a basis for Harris Teeter to terminate the Lease. Regardless, in January 2013, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (“NCDOT”) proposed to redesign the road modifications to keep the all access intersection open for ingress with no change to the planned limitation on egress to the right-in/right-out only. Additionally, NCDOT and the City of Charlotte proposed to build and maintain a new access road/point into the property. Construction has begun and is not expected to be completed until 2019. Harris Teeter has expressed satisfaction with the redesigned project and indicated that it will not attempt to terminate its lease if this project is built as currently redesigned. Because the redesigned project will not be completed until 2019, the condemnation case has been placed in administrative closure. As a result, the trial and mediation will not likely be scheduled until requested by the parties, most likely in 2019 or 2020.

Contractual Commitments – Expenditures

In conjunction with the Company’s sale of approximately 3.4 acres of land to RaceTrac in December 2013, the Company agreed to reimburse RaceTrac for a portion of the costs for road improvements and the other costs associated with bringing multiple ingress/egress points to the entire 23-acre Williamson Crossing site, including the Company’s remaining 19.6 acres. The total cost for the improvements was approximately $1.26 million and the Company has committed to reimburse RaceTrac in an amount equal to $976,500. In 2013, the Company deposited $283,500 of cash in escrow related to the improvements, which was previously classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company received confirmation that the required improvements were completed by RaceTrac. Accordingly, $283,500 was paid to RaceTrac leaving no remaining escrow balance as of September 30, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the remaining commitment of approximately $693,000 was paid to RaceTrac from the proceeds of the sale of the remaining Williamson Crossing land. There is no remaining commitment as of September 30, 2018.

In conjunction with the Company’s sale of approximately 18.1 acres of land to an affiliate of Sam’s Club (“Sam’s”) in December of 2015, the Company agreed to reimburse Sam’s for a portion of their construction costs applicable to adjacent outparcels retained by the Company. As a result, in December 2015, the Company deposited $125,000 of cash in escrow related to construction work which is classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. The total amount in escrow as of September 30, 2018, was approximately $125,000, including accrued interest. Accordingly, the Company’s maximum commitment related to the construction work benefitting the outparcels adjacent to Sam’s land parcel is approximately $125,000, to be paid from escrow upon completion.

During August of 2018, the Company executed a contract with a third party to complete tenant improvements at The Grove at Winter Park property in Winter Park, Florida, for a total of approximately $430,000. The Company has incurred approximately $102,000 of these costs as of September 30, 2018, leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $328,000.

During September of 2018, the Company executed a contract with a third party to complete parking lot paving and improvements at the Company’s property in Raleigh, North Carolina, leased to Wells Fargo for a total of approximately $329,000. The Company has incurred approximately $89,000 of these costs as of September 30, 2018, leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $240,000.

In connection with the Golf Course Land Purchase, each year the Company is obligated to pay the Per-Round Surcharge with an annual minimum Per-Round Surcharge of $70,000 and a maximum aggregate of Per-Round Surcharges of $700,000. The maximum amount of $700,000 represents contingent consideration and was recorded as an increase in Golf Buildings, Improvements, and Equipment and Accrued and Other Liabilities in the accompany consolidated balance sheets during the year ended December 31, 2017. The first annual payment of $70,000 was made in January of 2018, leaving a remaining commitment of $630,000 as of September 30, 2018.

(1)Land sales transaction which requires the Company to incur the cost to provide the requisite mitigation credits necessary for obtaining the applicable regulatory permits for the buyer, with such costs representing either our basis in the credits that we own, or potentially up to 5% - 10% of the contract amount noted.

(2)Pursuant to the contract, amount includes the reimbursement of infrastructure costs incurred by the Company for Tomoka Town Center plus interest accrued as of December 31, 2017.

(3)The acres and amount include the buyer’s option to acquire approximately 19 acres for $2.0 million, in addition to the base contract of approximately 26 acres for $3.2 million.

(4)The acres and amount include the buyer’s option to acquire approximately 71 acres for $925,000, in addition to the base contract of approximately 129 acres for $2.25 million.

As noted above, these agreements contemplate closing dates ranging from the fourth quarter 2018 through fiscal year 2020, and although some of the transactions may close in 2018, some of the buyers are not contractually obligated to close until after 2018. Each of the transactions are in varying stages of due diligence by the various buyers including, in some instances, having made submissions to the planning and development departments of the City, and other permitting activities with other applicable governmental authorities including wetlands permits from the St. John’s River Water Management District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and conducting traffic analyses and potential road impact requirements with the Florida Department of Transportation and negotiating other matters with Volusia County. In

37

addition to other customary closing conditions, the majority of these transactions are conditioned upon the receipt of approvals or permits from those various governmental authorities, as well as other matters that are beyond our control. If such approvals are not obtained or costs to meet governmental requirements or obligations are too high, the prospective buyers may have the ability to terminate their respective agreements prior to closing. As a result, there can be no assurances regarding the likelihood or timing of any one of these potential land transactions being completed or the final terms thereof, including the sales price.

Other Matters

In connection with a certain land sale contract to which the Company is a party, the purchaser’s pursuit of customary development entitlements gave rise to an inquiry by federal regulatory agencies regarding prior agricultural activities by the Company on such land. During the second quarter of 2015, we received a written information request regarding such activities. We submitted a written response to the information request along with supporting documentation. During the fourth quarter of 2015, based on discussions with the agency, a penalty related to this matter was deemed probable, and accordingly the estimated penalty of $187,500 was accrued as of December 31, 2015, for which payment was made during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Also during the fourth quarter of 2015, the agency advised the Company that the resolution to the inquiry would likely require the Company to incur costs associated with wetlands restoration relating to approximately 148.4 acres of the Company’s land. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s third-party environmental engineers estimated the cost for such restoration activities to range from approximately $1.7 million to approximately $1.9 million. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2015, the Company accrued an obligation of approximately $1.7 million, representing the low end of the estimated range of possible restoration costs, and included such estimated costs on the consolidated balance sheets as an increase in the basis of our land and development costs associated with those and benefitting surrounding acres. As of September 30, 2016, the final proposal from the Company’s third-party environmental engineer was received reflecting a total cost of approximately $2.0 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $300,000 was made during the second quarter of 2016. The Company has funded approximately $1.6 million of the total $2.0 million of estimated costs through September 30, 2018. The Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that the estimated remaining liability of approximately $453,000 could change within one year of the date of the consolidated financial statements, which in turn could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and future cash flows. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis; however, actual results may differ from those estimates.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale of approximately 1,581 acres of land to Minto Communities LLC which acreage represents a portion of the Company’s remaining $708,000 obligation. Accordingly, the Company deposited $423,000 of cash in escrow to secure performance on the obligation. The funds in escrow can be drawn upon completion of certain milestones including completion of restoration and annual required monitoring. The first such milestone was achieved during the fourth quarter of 2017 and $189,500 of the escrow was refunded leaving an escrow balance of approximately $234,000 as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, resolution of the regulatory matter required the Company to apply for an additional permit pertaining to an additional approximately 54.66 acres, which permit may require mitigation activities which the Company anticipates could be satisfied through the utilization of existing mitigation credits owned by the Company or the acquisition of mitigation credits. Resolution of this matter allowed the Company to obtain certain permits from the applicable federal or state regulatory agencies needed in connection with the closing of the land sale contract that gave rise to this matter. As of September 30, 2017, the Company determined that approximately 36 mitigation credits were required to be utilized, which represents approximately $298,000 in cost basis of the Company’s mitigation credits. Accordingly, the Company transferred the mitigation credits through a charge to direct cost of revenues of real estate operations during the three months ended September 30, 2017, thereby resolving the required mitigation activities related to the approximately 54.66 acres. In addition, in connection with other land sale contracts to which the Company is or may become a party, the pursuit of customary development entitlements by the potential purchasers may require the Company to utilize or acquire mitigation credits for the purpose of obtaining certain permits from the applicable federal or state regulatory agencies. Any costs incurred in connection with utilizing or acquiring such credits would be incorporated into the basis of the land under contract. No amounts related to such potential future costs have been accrued as of September 30, 2018.

During the period from the fourth quarter of 2015 through the first quarter of 2016, the Company received communications from Wintergreen Advisers, LLC (“Wintergreen”), some of which have been filed publicly. In investigating Wintergreen’s allegations contained in certain of these communications, in pursuing the strategic alternatives process suggested by Wintergreen, and in engaging in a proxy contest in 2017, the Company incurred costs of approximately $3.0 million through December 31, 2017. Approximately $1.6 million of the approximately $3.0 million was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2017, of which approximately $1.2 million is specifically for

legal representation and third-party costs related to the proxy contest. In addition to the costs incurred through December 31, 2017, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred approximately $939,000, which includes legal representation and third-party costs arising from shareholder-related matters, including the proxy contest in 2018. None of Wintergreen’s allegations, which included allegations regarding inadequate disclosure and other wrong-doing by the Company and its directors and officers, were found to have any basis or merit.

NOTE 20. BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA

The Company operates in four primary business segments: income properties, commercial loan investments, real estate operations, and golf operations. Our income property operations consist primarily of income-producing properties, and our business plan is focused on investing in additional income-producing properties. Our income property operations accounted for 87.6% and 83.4% of our identifiable assets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and 49.6% and 30.5% of our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our real estate operations primarily consist of revenues generated from land transactions and leasing, royalty income, and revenue from the release of surface entry rights from our Subsurface Interests. Our golf operations consist of a single property located in Daytona Beach, Florida, with two 18-hole championship golf courses, a practice facility, and clubhouse facilities, including a restaurant and bar operation, fitness facility, and pro-shop with retail merchandise. The majority of the revenues generated by our golf operations are derived from members and public customers playing golf, club memberships, and food and beverage operations.

The Company reports performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed separately because each segment requires different management techniques, knowledge, and skills.

NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 3, 2018, the Company completed the sale of approximately 13 acres for a total sales price of approximately $2.1 million, or approximately $166,000 per acre. The gain from the sale was approximately $1.9 million, or $0.26 per share, after tax. The proceeds from this sale were utilized in the acquisition of the Ground Leases (hereinafter defined) on October 10, 2018, through a reverse 1031 like-kind exchange structure.

On October 4, 2018, the Company acquired an approximately 210,000 square foot, Class A single-tenant office property in Albuquerque, New Mexico (the “Albuquerque Property”), for a purchase price of approximately $44.0 million, or approximately $209 per square foot. The Albuquerque Property is 100% leased to an affiliate of Fidelity Investments. The transaction is expected to be part of a 1031 like-kind exchange.

On October 10, 2018, the Company acquired the fee simple interest in eight parcels that have each been ground leased to third party lessees (the “Ground Leased Parcels”) which are adjacent or proximate to the St. Johns Town Center Mall in Jacksonville, Florida, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $32.3 million. The Ground Leased Parcels are situated on approximately 10.5 acres in aggregate and are each improved with a single-tenant net-lease retail property, totaling approximately 44,000 square feet, with eight different tenants including a Chase Bank, a WaWa, five national restaurant brands including a Cheddar’s and a Chuy’s, and a car wash.

As a result of the acquisition of the Albuquerque Property and the Ground Leased Parcels (collectively the “October 2018 Acquisitions”), as of October 26, 2018, the Company owned thirty-eight single-tenant and seven multi-tenant income-producing properties with over 2.3 million square feet of gross leasable space.

In connection with the October 2018 Acquisitions, the Company utilized approximately $70.0 million from the Credit Facility to fund the acquisitions. As a result of the $70.0 million draw, as of October 26, 2018, the Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of approximately $120.7 million and available borrowing capacity of approximately $29.0 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets and current commitment level of $150.0 million.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or the aforementioned risk factors. The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

We are a diversified real estate operating company. As of September 30, 2018, we owned and managed thirty-six commercial real estate properties in thirteen states in the United States. As of September 30, 2018, we owned twenty-nine single-tenant and seven multi-tenant income-producing properties with approximately 2.1 million square feet of gross leasable space. For a description of properties acquired subsequent to September 30, 2018, see Part I, Note 21, “Subsequent Events.” As of September 30, 2018, we have no commercial loan investments. We also own and manage a portfolio of undeveloped land totaling approximately 5,500 acres in Daytona Beach, Florida. We have golf operations which consist of the LPGA International Golf Club, also located in Daytona Beach, which is managed by a third party. We also lease some of our land for eighteen billboards, have agricultural operations that are managed by a third party, which consist of leasing land for hay production and timber harvesting, and own and manage Subsurface Interests (hereinafter defined). The results of our agricultural and subsurface leasing operations are included in Agriculture and Other Income and Real Estate Operations, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations.

Income Property Operations. We have pursued a strategy of investing in income-producing properties, when possible by utilizing the proceeds from real estate transactions qualifying for income tax deferral through like-kind exchange treatment for tax purposes.

Our strategy for investing in income-producing properties is focused on long-term real estate fundamentals and target major markets and markets experiencing significant economic growth. We currently are marketing or anticipate marketing the majority of our multi-tenant income properties as part of refining the focus of our strategy on investing in single-tenant net lease income properties. We employ a methodology for evaluating targeted investments in income-producing properties which includes an evaluation of: (i) the attributes of the real estate (e.g. location, market demographics, comparable properties in the market, etc.); (ii) the existing tenant (e.g. credit-worthiness, property level sales, rent levels compared to the market, etc.); (iii) other market conditions (e.g. tenant industry, job and population growth in the market, local economy, etc.); and (iv) considerations relating to the Company’s business and strategy (e.g. strategic fit of the asset type, property management needs, alignment with the Company’s 1031 like-kind exchange structure, etc.).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company acquired one single-tenant income property for a purchase price of $28.0 million, or an acquisition cost of approximately $29.0 million including capitalized acquisition costs. For a description of properties acquired subsequent to September 30, 2018, see Part I, Note 21, “Subsequent Events.”

Our current portfolio of twenty-nine single-tenant income properties generates approximately $21.5 million of revenues from base lease payments on an annualized basis and had an average remaining lease term of 9.1 years as of September 30, 2018. Our current portfolio of seven multi-tenant properties generates approximately $9.2 million of revenue from base lease payments on an annualized basis and has a weighted average remaining lease term of 4.5 years as of September 30, 2018.

Table of Contents

As more fully described in Part I, Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” the Company acquired nine additional single-tenant income-producing properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $76.3 million (the “October Acquisitions”) bringing the total portfolio of single-tenant income properties to thirty-eight as of October 26, 2018. The Company expects the October Acquisitions to generate approximately $5.8 million of additional revenues from base lease payments on an annualized basis. We expect to continue to focus on acquiring additional income-producing properties during fiscal year 2018, and in the near term thereafter, maintaining our use of the aforementioned tax deferral structure whenever possible.

As part of our overall strategy for investing in income-producing investments, we self-developed five multi-tenant office properties, all of which are located in Daytona Beach, Florida, four of which we still owned as of December 31, 2017. The first self-developed property, located at the northeast corner of LPGA and Williamson Boulevards, is an approximately 22,000 square foot, two-story, building, known as the Concierge Office Building. The second two properties, known as the Mason Commerce Center, consist of two buildings totaling approximately 31,000 square-feet (15,360 each). The final two properties, known as the Williamson Business Park, are adjacent to the Mason Commerce Center. One of the two 15,360 square-foot Williamson Business Park buildings was sold in April 2016. The remaining four self-developed multi-tenant office properties were sold in March 2018 at a sales price of approximately $11.4 million (the “Self-Developed Properties Sale”). The gain on the sale totaled approximately $3.7 million, or approximately $0.49 per share, after tax. As part of the transaction, the Company entered into a lease of its approximately 7,600 square-foot current office space in Williamson Business Park for approximately 5 years at a market rental rate.

We also self-developed two single-tenant net lease restaurant properties on a 6-acre beachfront parcel in Daytona Beach, Florida. The development was completed in January of 2018; therefore, during the first quarter of 2018, these two properties have been added to our income property portfolio.

Our focus on acquiring or selectively developing income-producing assets includes a continual review of our existing income property portfolio to identify opportunities to recycle our capital through the sale of income properties based on, among other possible factors, the current or expected performance of the property and favorable market conditions.

Real Estate Operations.  As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned approximately 5,500 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida, along six miles of the west and east sides of Interstate 95. Currently, the majority of this land is used for agricultural purposes. As of October 26, 2018, approximately 64% of this acreage, or nearly 3,500 acres, is under contract to be sold. Approximately 1,000 acres of our land holdings are located on the east side of Interstate 95 and are generally well suited for commercial development. Approximately 4,500 acres of our land holdings are located on the west side of Interstate 95 and the majority of this land is generally well suited for residential development. Included in the western land is approximately 1,000 acres, primarily an 850-acre parcel and three smaller parcels, which are located further west of Interstate 95 and a few miles north of Interstate 4 that are generally well suited for industrial purposes.

Real estate operations revenue consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively:

(1)The gain recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 on the Buc-ee’s sale totaling approximately $11.9 million excludes approximately $831,000 held in an escrow reserve related to the portion of the acreage sold for which the Company remains obligated to perform wetlands mitigation. The Company expects to recognize the remaining gain of approximately $831,000 upon completion of the mitigation work. See Part I, Note 16, “Deferred Revenue”.

Mitigation Bank. The mitigation bank transaction consists of the sale of a 70% interest in the entity that holds approximately 2,492 acres of land that has been permitted for the creation of a wetland mitigation bank (the “Venture” or the “Mitigation Bank”). The purchaser of the 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank is comprised of certain funds and accounts managed by an investment advisor subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). The Company retained an approximately 30% non-controlling interest in the Mitigation Bank. A third-party was retained by the Venture as the day-to-day manager of the Mitigation Bank property, responsible for the maintenance, generation, tracking, and other aspects of wetland mitigation credits.

The Mitigation Bank intends to engage in the creation and sale of both federal and state wetland mitigation credits. These credits will be created pursuant to the applicable permits that have been or will be issued to the Venture from the federal and state regulatory agencies that exercise jurisdiction over the awarding of such credits, but no assurances can be given as to the issuance, marketability or value of the credits. The Venture received the permit from the state regulatory agency on June 8, 2018 (the “State Permit”). The state regulatory agency may award up to 355 state credits under the State Permit. On August 6, 2018, the state regulatory agency awarded the initial 88.84 credits under the State Permit. Receipt of the remaining federal permit is anticipated to occur prior to the end of the year.

The gain on the sale of the 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank totaled approximately $18.4 million and is comprised of the gain on the sale of 70% interest for proceeds of $15.3 million as well as the gain on the retained 30% interest pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 610-20, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. The gain is included in the Gain on Disposition of Assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2018, the approximately $6.7 million Investment in Joint Venture included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is comprised of the fair market value of the 30% retained interest in the Venture.

The operating agreement of the Venture (the “Operating Agreement”) executed in conjunction with the mitigation bank transaction stipulates that the Company shall arrange for sales of the Venture’s mitigation credits to unrelated third parties totaling no less than $6 million of revenue to the Mitigation Bank, net of commissions, by the end of 2020, utilizing a maximum of 60 mitigation credits (the “Minimum Sales Requirement”). The Operating Agreement stipulates that if the Minimum Sales Requirement is not achieved, then BlackRock has the right, but is not required, to have the Company purchase the number of mitigation credits necessary to reach the Minimum Sales Requirement (the “Minimum Sales Guarantee”). The Company estimates the fair value of the Minimum Sales Guarantee to be approximately $100,000 which was recorded as a reduction in the gain on the transaction and is included in Accrued and Other Liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018.

44


 

Table of Contents

Additionally, the Operating Agreement provides BlackRock the right to cause the Company to purchase a maximum of 8.536 mitigation credits per quarter (the “Commitment Amount”) from the Mitigation Bank at a price equal to 60% of the then fair market value for mitigation credits (the “Put Right”). The Put Right is applicable even if the Mitigation Bank has not yet been awarded a sufficient number of mitigation credits by the applicable federal and state regulatory agencies. Further, in any quarter that BlackRock does not exercise its Put Right, the unexercised Commitment Amount for the applicable quarter may be rolled over to future calendar quarters. However, the Operating Agreement also stipulates that any amount of third-party sales of mitigation credits will reduce the Put Rights outstanding on a one-for-one basis, if the sales price of the third-party sales equals or exceeds the prices stipulated by the Put Right. Further, any sales of mitigation credits to third parties at the requisite minimum prices in a quarter that exceeds the quarterly amount of the Put Right, will reduce the Put Rights in future calendar quarters on a one-for-one basis. The maximum potential of future payments for the Company pursuant to the Put Right is approximately $27 million. The Company estimates the fair value of the Put Right to be approximately $200,000, which was recorded as a reduction in the gain on the transaction and is included in Accrued and Other Liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018.

2017 Land Sales. No land sales were completed during the three months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a total of approximately 1,669 acres were sold for approximately $40.5 million as described below:

(1)Land sales transaction which requires the Company to incur the cost to provide the requisite mitigation credits necessary for obtaining the applicable regulatory permits for the buyer, with such costs representing either our basis in the credits that we own, or potentially up to 5% - 10% of the contract amount noted.

(2)Pursuant to the contract, amount includes the reimbursement of infrastructure costs incurred by the Company for Tomoka Town Center plus interest accrued as of December 31, 2017.

(3)The acres and amount include the buyer’s option to acquire approximately 19 acres for $2.0 million, in addition to the base contract of approximately 26 acres for $3.2 million.

(4)The acres and amount include the buyer’s option to acquire approximately 71 acres for $925,000, in addition to the base contract of approximately 129 acres for $2.25 million.

As noted above, these agreements contemplate closing dates ranging from the fourth quarter 2018 through fiscal year 2020, and although some of the transactions may close in 2018, some of the buyers are not contractually obligated to close until after 2018. Each of the transactions are in varying stages of due diligence by the various buyers including, in some instances, having made submissions to the planning and development departments of the City, and other permitting activities with other applicable governmental authorities including wetlands permits from the St. John’s River Water Management District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and conducting traffic analyses and potential road impact requirements with the Florida Department of Transportation and negotiating other matters with Volusia County. In addition to other customary closing conditions, the majority of these transactions are conditioned upon the receipt of approvals or permits from those various governmental authorities, as well as other matters that are beyond our control. If such approvals are not obtained or costs to meet governmental requirements or obligations are too high, the prospective buyers may have the ability to terminate their respective agreements prior to closing. As a result, there can be no assurances regarding the likelihood or timing of any one of these potential land transactions being completed or the final terms thereof, including the sales price.

Land Impairments. There were no impairment charges related to the Company’s undeveloped land during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017. 

Beachfront Development. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed the construction of two single-tenant restaurants located on the Company’s six-acre beachfront property with a cost basis of approximately $11.7 million, which was included in Land and Development Costs on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. The total cost of construction was approximately $6.8 million. Upon completion of the construction and commencement of the tenant leases (described herein), the total basis of approximately $18.5 million was transferred to Income Properties, Land, Buildings, and Improvements from Land and Development Costs and Construction in Process on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s 15-year lease agreement with the operator of LandShark Bar & Grill, for the approximately 6,264 square foot restaurant property, includes annual rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s net operating income (“NOI”) until the Company has received its investment basis in the property; thereafter, the Company will receive a lower percentage of the tenant’s NOI during the remaining lease term. The Company’s 15-year lease agreement with the operator of Cocina 214 Restaurant & Bar, for the second restaurant property includes annual rent equal to the greater of $360,000 per year or a certain percentage of gross sales, and also provides for additional percentage rent upon the achievement of certain gross sales thresholds.  

Daytona Beach Development. We may selectively acquire other real estate in the downtown and beachside areas of Daytona Beach, Florida. We may target either vacant land or land with existing structures that we would demolish and develop into additional income properties. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company acquired a 3-acre parcel of land with existing structures in downtown Daytona Beach, Florida, for a purchase price of approximately $2.0 million. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has also acquired other contiguous parcels for a total of approximately 1.1-acres for approximately $1.8 million. We intend to pursue the potential redevelopment of these parcels, which are located nearly adjacent to the location of the future headquarters of Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE: BRO), along with certain other adjacent land parcels, some of which we have under contract for purchase. We intend for our investments in the Daytona Beach area to target opportunistic acquisitions of select catalyst sites, which are typically distressed, with an objective of having short investment horizons. We may seek to partner with developers to develop the sites acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and any other sites we acquire, rather than self-develop the properties.

Opportunity Zones. Approximately 257 acres of the Company’s land holdings, of which 164 acres are already under contract for approximately $23 million, are located in one of Florida’s newly-established Opportunity Zones created by the 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which provides significant tax advantages to developers and businesses who conduct business within these zones pursuant to the Act.

Other Real Estate Assets. The Company owns impact fees with a cost basis of approximately $79,000 and mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $460,000 for a combined total of approximately $539,000 as of September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company transferred mitigation credits with a basis of approximately $124,000 to the land acquired by Buc-ee’s. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold mitigation credits for approximately $1.0 million, for a gain of approximately $882,000, or $0.12 per share, after tax. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold mitigation credits for approximately $1.5 million, for a gain of approximately $1.2 million, or $0.14 per share, after tax. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company received cash payments of approximately $251,000 and $506,000, respectively, for impact fees with a cost basis that was generally of equal value. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, impact fees with a cost basis of approximately $72,000 were transferred to the beachfront restaurant leased to LandShark Bar & Grill.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company owned impact fees with a cost basis of approximately $402,000 and mitigation credits with a cost basis of approximately $723,000 for a combined total of approximately $1.1 million.

Subsurface Interests. As of September 30, 2018, the Company owns full or fractional subsurface oil, gas, and mineral interests underlying approximately 455,000 “surface” acres of land owned by others in 20 counties in Florida (the “Subsurface Interests”). The Company leases certain of the Subsurface Interests to mineral exploration firms for exploration. Our subsurface operations consist of revenue from the leasing of exploration rights and in some instances, additional revenues from royalties applicable to production from the leased acreage.

There were no subsurface sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold approximately 38,750 acres of subsurface interests in Osceola County, Florida for approximately $2.1 million (the “Osceola Subsurface Sale”). The gain from the Osceola Subsurface Sale totaled approximately $2.08 million, or $0.23 per share, after tax.

During 2011, an eight-year oil exploration lease was executed covering a portion of our Subsurface Interests. On September 20, 2017, the Company amended the oil exploration lease to, among other things, extend the expiration of the original term for five additional years to the new expiration date of September 22, 2024. The lease is effectively thirteen one-year terms as the lessee has the option to terminate the lease at the end of each lease year. The lessee has exercised renewal options through lease year eight ending September 22, 2019. The terms of the lease state the Company will receive royalty payments if production occurs, and may receive additional annual rental payments if the lease is continued in years nine through thirteen. The lease calls for annual lease payments which are recognized as revenue ratably over the respective twelve-month lease periods. Pursuant to the amendment for the Year 8 renewal the annual lease payment is to be paid in installments. In addition, non-refundable drilling penalty payments are made as required by the drilling requirements in the lease which are recognized as revenue when earned, i.e. when the amount is agreed upon.

Lease payments on the respective acreages and drilling penalties through lease year eight are as follows:

(1)Generally, cash payment for the Lease Payment and Drilling Penalty is received on or before the first day of the lease year. The Drilling Penalty, which is due within thirty days from the end of the prior lease year, is recorded as revenue when earned, i.e. when the amount is agreed upon, while the Lease Payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. Pursuant to the amendment for the Year 7 renewal, the Lease Payment and Drilling Penalty were both received on October 11, 2017. Pursuant to the amendment for the Year 8 renewal, the Lease Payment and Drilling Penalty are to be received in monthly installments. As of September 30, 2018, $400,000 of the total approximately $957,000 has been received pursuant to the payment schedule. See separate disclosure of revenue recognized per period below.

Lease income generated by the annual lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the guaranteed lease term. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, lease income of approximately $203,000 and $603,000 was recognized. There can be no assurance that the oil exploration lease will be extended beyond the expiration of the current term of September 22, 2019 or, if extended, the terms or conditions of such extension.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company also received oil royalties from operating oil wells on 800 acres under a separate lease with a separate operator. Revenues received from oil royalties totaled approximately $11,000 and $19,000, during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenues received from oil royalties totaled approximately $50,000 and $69,000, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company is not prohibited from the disposition of any or all of its Subsurface Interests. Should the Company complete a transaction to sell all or a portion of its Subsurface Interests, the Company may utilize the like-kind exchange structure in acquiring one or more replacement investments including income-producing properties. The Company may release surface entry rights or other rights upon request of a surface owner for a negotiated release fee typically based on a percentage of the surface value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed a transaction releasing our surface entry rights on approximately 600 acres in exchange for approximately $185,000 in cash and fee title to approximately 40 additional acres in Hendry County, valued at approximately $320,000. Including the non-cash value received, the gain from the transaction totaled approximately $435,000, or $0.06 per share, after tax. The Company also received cash payments for the release of surface entry rights of approximately $73,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no releases of surface entry rights during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Golf Operations. Golf operations, which are managed by a third party, consist of the LPGA International Golf Club, a semi-private golf club, located in Daytona Beach, Florida, consisting of two 18-hole championship golf courses, one designed by Rees Jones and the other designed by Arthur Hills, with a three-hole practice facility also designed by Rees Jones, a clubhouse facility, food and beverage operations, and a fitness facility located within the LPGA International mixed-use residential community on the west side of Interstate 95.

In July 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with the City to, among other things, amend the lease payments under its golf course lease (the “Lease Amendment”). Under the Lease Amendment, the base rent payment, which was scheduled to increase from $250,000 to $500,000 as of September 1, 2012, remained at $250,000 for the remainder of the lease term and any extensions would have been subject to an annual rate increase of 1.75% beginning September 1, 2013. On January 24, 2017, the Company acquired the land and improvements comprising the golf courses, previously leased from the City, for approximately $1.5 million (the “Golf Course Land Purchase”). In conjunction with the Golf Course Land Purchase, the lease between the Company and the City was terminated. Therefore, during the first quarter of 2017, the Company eliminated the remaining accrued liability of approximately $2.2 million, resulting in the recognition of approximately $0.40 per share in non-cash earnings, or $0.24 per share after tax, which comprises the land lease termination in the consolidated statements of operations. The $2.2 million consisted of approximately $1.7 million which reflects the acceleration of the remaining amount of accrued rent that was no longer owed to the City as a result of the Lease Amendment, which prior to the Golf Course Land Purchase was being recognized into income over the remaining lease term which was originally to expire in 2022. The remaining approximately $500,000 reflects the amount of rent accrued pursuant to the lease, as amended, which will no longer be owed to the City due to the lease termination on January 24, 2017.  

As a part of the Golf Course Land Purchase, the Company donated to the City three land parcels totaling approximately 14.3 acres located on the west side of Interstate 95 that are adjacent to the City’s Municipal Stadium. The Company had a cost basis of $0 in the donated land and paid approximately $100,000 to satisfy the community development district bonds associated with the acreage. Other terms of the Golf Course Land Purchase include the following:

·

The Company is obligated to pay the City additional consideration in the form of an annual surcharge of $1 per golf round played each year (the “Per-Round Surcharge”) with an annual minimum Per-Round Surcharge of $70,000 and a maximum aggregate of Per-Round Surcharges of $700,000. The first annual payment was made in January 2018 leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $630,000 as of September 30, 2018;

48


 

Table of Contents

·

Within one year following the date of the closing of the Golf Course Land Purchase, unless extended due to weather related delays outside the Company’s control, the Company is obligated to renovate the greens on the Jones Course, which renovations were completed in the third quarter of 2017; and

·

If the Company sells the LPGA International Golf Club within six years of the closing of the Golf Course Land Purchase, the Company is obligated to pay the City an amount equal to 10% of the difference between the sales price, less closing costs and any other costs required to be incurred in connection with the sale, and $4.0 million.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company wrote down the value of the golf operation assets, which resulted in a corresponding impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.15 per share, after tax. The write-down of the golf operation assets to approximately $3.1 million and the related $1.1 million impairment charge were the result of the Company’s assessment of certain triggering events, including activities related to a review of strategic alternatives for the golf operations, occurring during the quarter which required an assessment of the carrying value of the golf operating assets.

Commercial Loan Investments. Our investments in commercial loans or similar structured finance investments, such as mezzanine loans or other subordinated debt, have been and are expected to continue to be secured by commercial or residential real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in the entity that owns the real estate. The first mortgage loans we invest in or originate are for commercial real estate located in the United States and its territories, and are current or performing with either a fixed or floating rate. Some of these loans may be syndicated in either a pari-passu or senior/subordinated structure. Commercial first mortgage loans generally provide for a higher recovery rate due to their senior position in the underlying collateral. Commercial mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of the borrower’s equity ownership in the underlying commercial real estate. Unlike a mortgage, a mezzanine loan is not secured by a lien on the property. An investor’s rights in a mezzanine loan are usually governed by an intercreditor agreement that provides holders with the rights to cure defaults and exercise control on certain decisions of any senior debt secured by the same commercial property.

On June 13, 2018, the variable rate B-Note (the “B-Note”) held by the Company and secured by real estate located in Sarasota, Florida, matured and was repaid by the borrower. The Company purchased the B-Note in May 2014. The proceeds of approximately $9.0 million were used to pay down the Company’s Credit Facility.

On August 10, 2018, the $3.0 million fixed rate first mortgage loan held by the Company and secured by real estate located in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, matured and was repaid by the borrower.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no commercial loan investments.

Agriculture and Other Income. Effectively all of our agriculture and other income consists of revenues generated by our agricultural operations. The Company’s agricultural lands encompass approximately 4,500 acres on the west side of Daytona Beach, Florida. Our agricultural operations are managed by a third-party and consist of leasing land for hay production and timber harvesting.

The above results for the third quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, reflected the following significant operating elements in addition to the impacts from the changes in revenues described above:

·

An increase in total direct cost of revenues of approximately $5.3 million primarily relating to the increased direct cost of revenues in the real estate operations segment of approximately $5.1 million which reflects the higher level of land sales in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017; the third quarter of 2018 land sales included one transaction where the parcel sold had a higher cost basis than is typical for the Company as this parcel was repurchased from a prior buyer of the land nearly 10 years ago;

·

The impairment charge on golf operations during the third quarter of 2018 of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.15 per share, after tax, based on the Company’s estimated fair market value of the property of approximately $3.1 million;

·

An increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.7 million resulting from the growth in our income property portfolio; and

·

Increased interest expense of approximately $0.3 million resulting from increased borrowings on our credit facility.

 

In addition, net income was impacted by a decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.1 million which is summarized as follows:

INCOME PROPERTIES

Total revenue and operating income from our income property operations totaled approximately $9.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to total revenue and operating income of approximately $7.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in revenues of approximately $1.4 million, or 18%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, reflects our expanded portfolio of income properties including increases of approximately $1.1 million due to recent acquisitions, and an increase of approximately $364,000 in revenue generated by the lease-up of our multi-tenant property, The Grove at Winter Park in Winter Park, Florida, and the rent recognized from our two self-developed single-tenant beachfront restaurant properties that opened in January 2018, offset by the decrease of approximately $311,000 related to the recent Self-Developed Properties Sale. Revenue from our income properties during the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 also includes approximately $600,000 and $552,000, respectively, in revenue from the accretion of the below-market lease intangible, of which a significant portion is attributable to the property located in Raleigh, North Carolina, leased to Wells Fargo. Our increased operating income from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues offset by an increase of approximately $58,000 in our direct costs of revenues which was primarily comprised of approximately $94,000 in increased operating expenses related to our recent acquisitions and increased costs associated with The Grove at Winter Park in Winter Park, Florida,

and the two single-tenant beachfront restaurant properties, offset by the reduction in operating expenses related to the recent Self-Developed Properties Sale.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, operating income from real estate operations was approximately $2.4 million on revenues totaling approximately $8.0 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, operating income was approximately $2.5 million on revenues totaling approximately $2.9 million. The increase in revenue of approximately $5.1 million is primarily attributable to the increase in the gross sales price from land sales transactions of approximately $7.0 million, offset by the approximately $2.1 million received in the third quarter of 2017 from the Osceola Subsurface Sale. The increase in direct costs of revenues of approximately $5.1 million is primarily the result of the cost basis and transaction costs related to the third quarter of 2018 land sales which totaled approximately $5.2 million, with no land sales in the third quarter of 2017. The minimal change in operating income quarter-over-quarter is primarily the result of the third quarter of 2018 land sales consisting of higher basis land parcels while the Osceola Subsurface sale in the third quarter of 2017 had effectively no related cost basis.

GOLF OPERATIONS

Revenues from golf operations totaled approximately $1.0 million and $797,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The total direct cost of golf operations revenues totaled approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company’s golf operations had a net operating loss of approximately $374,000 and approximately $475,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The third quarter of 2017 results were negatively impacted due to the closure of one of the two 18-hole golf courses for the entire quarter for the renovation of the greens. The third quarter of 2018 results were negatively impacted by personnel turnover and a significantly higher level of rainfall during the early part of the quarter versus the same period in 2017.

INTEREST INCOME FROM COMMERCIAL LOAN INVESTMENTS

Interest income from our commercial loan investments totaled approximately $41,000 and $638,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of the Company’s two mezzanine loans in October 2017. With the payoff of the approximately $9.0 million B-Note at its maturity in June 2018 and the payoff of the $3.0 million fixed rate first mortgage loan at its maturity in August 2018, interest income is expected to continue to decrease in future quarters as the Company holds no commercial loan investments as of September 30, 2018.

AGRICULTURE AND OTHER INCOME

There was no revenue from agriculture and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, revenues from agriculture and other income totaled approximately $91,000 which was primarily comprised of a timber harvesting contract that generated approximately $80,000 of revenue in the third quarter of 2017. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the direct cost of revenues totaled approximately $5,000 and $19,000, respectively.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $1.9 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of approximately $0.1 million. The decrease is primarily related to decreases in third-party advising costs.

GAINS ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

There were no gains on dispositions of assets during the three months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company wrote down the value of the golf operation assets, which resulted in a corresponding impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.15 per share, after tax. The write-down of the golf operation assets to approximately $3.1 million and the related $1.1 million impairment charge were the result of the Company’s assessment of certain triggering events, including activities related to a review of strategic alternatives for the golf operations, occurring during the quarter which required an assessment of the carrying value of the golf operating assets.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense totaled approximately $2.3 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of approximately $272,000 is primarily the result of increased borrowings on the Company’s credit facility for recent investment activity and acquisitions.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was also impacted by a decrease of approximately $1.1 million in the revenue generated by our commercial loan investments, primarily as a result of the sale of our two mezzanine loans in October 2017 and the repayment at maturity of the remaining two loans in the portfolio in the second and third quarter of 2018.

The above results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, reflected the following significant operating elements in addition to the impact of the changes in revenues as described above:

·

A decrease in direct cost of revenues of approximately $6.5 million primarily reflecting the impact of the larger level of land sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, for a decrease of approximately $7.4 million in the direct cost of revenues of real estate operations, partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.9 million in the operating costs of the income property operations segment reflecting the larger income property portfolio;

·

The impairment charge on golf operations during the third quarter of 2018 of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.15 per share, after tax, based on the Company’s estimated fair market value of the property of approximately $3.1 million;

·

The approximately $22.0 million gain on disposition of assets recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, consisting of the approximately $18.4 million gain on the Mitigation Bank transaction, comprised of (i) the gain on the sale of the 70% interest for proceeds of $15.3 million and (ii) the gain on the 30% retained interest, and the approximately $3.7 million gain on the Self-Developed Properties Sale, with no such gain on disposition of assets recognized during the same period in 2017;

·

Income of approximately $2.2 million recognized in the first quarter of 2017 in connection with the Company’s purchase from the City of the fee interest in the 690 acres comprising the golf courses at LPGA International, which purchase resulted in the termination of the land lease affiliated with the golf operations and triggered an elimination of the previously recognized straight-line rent under the land lease;

·

Increased interest expense of approximately $1.2 million resulting from increased borrowings on our credit facility; and

·

An increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $2.5 million resulting from the growth in our income property portfolio.

 

In addition, net income was impacted by a decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.8 million which is summarized as follows:

INCOME PROPERTIES

Revenues and operating income from our income property operations totaled approximately $28.3 million and $22.7 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to total revenue and operating income of approximately $22.6 million and $17.8 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled approximately $5.7 million and $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in revenues of approximately $5.8 million, or 26%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, reflects our expanded portfolio of income properties including increases of approximately $4.7 million due to recent acquisitions, and an increase of approximately $1.1 million in revenue generated by the lease-up of our multi-tenant property, The Grove at Winter Park in Winter Park, Florida, and the rent from our two self-developed single-tenant beachfront restaurant properties that opened in January 2018, offset by the decrease of approximately $610,000 related to the recent Self-Developed Properties Sale. Revenue from our income properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 also includes approximately $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in revenue from the accretion of the below-market lease intangible, of which a significant portion is attributable to the property located in Raleigh, North Carolina, leased to Wells Fargo. Our increased operating income from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues offset by an increase of approximately $921,000 in our direct costs of revenues which was primarily comprised of approximately $792,000 in increased operating expenses related to our recent acquisitions and increased costs associated with The Grove at Winter Park in Winter Park, Florida, and the two single-tenant beachfront restaurant properties, offset by the reduction in operating expenses related to the recent Self-Developed Properties Sale.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, operating income from real estate operations was approximately $16.5 million on revenues totaling approximately $24.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, operating income was approximately $30.2 million on revenues totaling approximately $45.7 million. The decreases in revenue of approximately $21.2 million and operating income of approximately $13.8 million is primarily attributable to the decrease in the gross sales price from land sales transactions of approximately $17.7 million. The decrease of approximately $7.4 million in direct costs of real estate operations is also primarily the result of the decreased level of land sales as the nine months ended 2018 and 2017 both contain certain land sales consisting of higher basis land parcels.

GOLF OPERATIONS

Revenues from golf operations totaled approximately $3.7 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The total direct cost of golf operations revenues totaled approximately $4.3 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company’s golf operations had a net operating loss of approximately $643,000 and approximately $517,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase in the operating loss of approximately $126,000. 

INTEREST INCOME FROM COMMERCIAL LOAN INVESTMENTS

Interest income from our commercial loan investments totaled approximately $616,000 and $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of the Company’s two mezzanine loans in October 2017. With the payoff of the approximately $9.0 million B-Note at its maturity in June 2018 and the payoff of the $3.0 million fixed rate first mortgage loan at its maturity in August 2018, interest income is expected to continue to decrease in future quarters as the Company holds no commercial loan investments as of September 30, 2018.

AGRICULTURE AND OTHER INCOME

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, revenues from agriculture and other income totaled approximately $22,000 and $324,000, respectively, with the decrease due to a timber harvesting contract that generated approximately $290,000 of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, with none in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the direct cost of revenues totaled approximately $16,000 and $90,000, respectively.

Table of Contents

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $7.2 million and $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of approximately $0.8 million. The decrease is primarily related to decreases in general third-party advisory costs as well as reduced costs incurred quarter-over-quarter with respect to shareholder matters, including the proxy contests, in both 2017 and 2018.

GAINS ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

No income properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed the sale of a 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank that holds approximately 2,492 acres of land for proceeds of $15.3 million. The gain on the sale totaled approximately $18.4 million and is comprised of the gain on the sale of the 70% interest for proceeds of $15.3 million as well as the gain on the 30% interest retained.

Four income properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On March 26, 2018, the Company sold its four self-developed, multi-tenant office properties located in Daytona Beach, Florida, for approximately $11.4 million (the “Self-Developed Properties Sale”). The sale included the 22,012 square-foot Concierge office building, the 30,720 square-foot Mason Commerce Center comprised of two office buildings, and the 15,360 square-foot Williamson Business Park office building. The gain on the sale totaled approximately $3.7 million, or approximately $0.49 per share, after tax. The Company utilized the proceeds to fund a portion of the previously acquired income property located near Portland, Oregon, leased to Wells Fargo, through a reverse 1031 like-kind exchange structure.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company wrote down the value of the golf operation assets, which resulted in a corresponding impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.15 per share, after tax. The write-down of the golf operation assets to approximately $3.1 million and the related $1.1 million impairment charge were the result of the Company’s assessment of certain triggering events, including activities related to a review of strategic alternatives for the golf operations, occurring during the quarter which required an assessment of the carrying value of the golf operating assets.

There were no impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense totaled approximately $7.4 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of approximately $1.2 million is primarily the result of increased borrowings on the Company’s credit facility for recent acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and equivalents totaled approximately $5.3 million at September 30, 2018, excluding restricted cash. Restricted cash totaled approximately $8.5 million at September 30, 2018, of which approximately $1.2 million is being held in three separate escrow accounts related to three separate land transactions which closed in December 2013, February 2017, and March 2018; approximately $6.5 million is being held in two separate escrow accounts to be reinvested through the like-kind exchange structure into other income properties; approximately $197,000 is being held in a capital replacement reserve account in connection with our financing of six income properties with Wells Fargo Bank, NA (“Wells Fargo”); and approximately $620,000 is being held in a leasing reserve in connection with our acquisition of the property in Aspen, Colorado, in February 2018.

Our total cash balance at September 30, 2018, reflected cash flows provided by our operating activities totaling approximately $22.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the prior year’s cash flows provided by operating activities totaling approximately $49.1 million in the same period in 2017, a decrease of approximately $26.5 million. The decrease is primarily the result of the classification of the gains recognized on our Self-Developed Properties Sale and the Mitigation Bank transaction into cash flows from investing activities with no similar transactions occurring in 2017, offset by the decrease in proceeds received from our land sales period-over-period of approximately $17.9 million in gross sales price and the related impact on the land asset balance related to the land sales.

Table of Contents

Our cash flows from investing activities totaled approximately $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, while cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $52.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $55.7 million. The increase primarily relates to cash outflows used for income property acquisitions that were approximately $20.3 million more during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Offsetting the impact of the use of funds for acquisitions in 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 were proceeds the Company received of approximately $11.1 million from the Self-Developed Properties Sale, $15.3 million from the sale of a 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank, and approximately $12.0 million from the payoffs of the commercial loan investment B-Note and fixed-rate first mortgage loan.

Our cash flows used in financing activities totaled approximately $24.9 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of approximately $23.8 million. The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily related to net payments on long-term debt of approximately $19.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, versus net borrowings on long-term debt totaling approximately $6.7 million, for a total increase in cash used related to our long-term debt of approximately $26.2 million. This was partially offset by approximately $3.2 million of increased stock buybacks during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2018.

Our long-term debt balance, at face value, totaled approximately $180.5 million at September 30, 2018, representing a decrease of approximately $19.5 million from the face value balance of approximately $200.0 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the approximately $19.3 million in net repayments on our revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, at face value, was as follows:

(1)Secured by the Company’s interest in six income properties. The mortgage loan carries a fixed rate of 4.33% per annum during the first ten years of the term, and requires payments of interest only during the first ten years of the loan. After the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan, the cash flows, as defined in the related loan agreement, generated by the underlying six income properties must be used to pay down the principal balance of the loan until paid off or until the loan matures. The loan is fully pre-payable after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the loan.

(2)Secured by the Company’s income property leased to Wells Fargo located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The mortgage loan has a 5-year term with two years interest only, and interest and a 25-year amortization for the balance of the term. The mortgage loan bears a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of 190 basis points. The interest rate for this mortgage loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 3.17%. The mortgage loan can be prepaid at any time subject to the termination of the interest rate swap. Amortization of the principal balance began in May 2018.

Credit Facility. The Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) serving as the administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, is unsecured with regard to our income property portfolio but is guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by BMO and also includes Wells Fargo and Branch Banking & Trust Company. On September 7, 2017, the Company executed the second amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility (the “2017 Amended Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, the Credit Facility matures on September 7, 2021, with the ability to extend the term for 1 year.

On May 14, 2018, the Company executed the first amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “2018 Revolver Amendment”). As a result of the 2018 Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility has a total borrowing capacity of $150.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $250.0 million during the term, subject to lender approval.

57


 

Table of Contents

The Credit Facility provides the lenders with a secured interest in the equity of the Company subsidiaries that own the properties included in the borrowing base. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 150 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 220 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company, as defined in the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, as amended by the 2018 Revolver Amendment. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity.

At September 30, 2018, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $150.0 million. The available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was approximately $99.0 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets. As of September 30, 2018, the Credit Facility had a $50.7 million balance outstanding.

In connection with the October 2018 Acquisitions (as defined in Part I, Note 21, “Subsequent Events”), the Company utilized approximately $70.0 million from the Credit Facility to fund the acquisitions. As a result of the $70.0 million draw, as of October 26, 2018, the Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of approximately $120.7 million and available borrowing capacity of approximately $29.0 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets and current commitment level of $150.0 million.

The Credit Facility is subject to customary restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial maintenance covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum indebtedness ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative covenants and events of default including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change of control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Notes Payable. In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has certain other borrowings, as noted in the table above, all of which are non-recourse.

Convertible Debt. The Company’s $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2020, unless earlier purchased or converted. The initial conversion rate was 14.5136 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $68.90 per share of common stock. Since July of 2016, when the Company’s Board of Directors implemented a quarterly dividend in place of the previous semi-annual dividend, the conversion rate has been adjusted with each successive quarterly dividend and is currently, after the third quarter 2018 dividend, equal to 14.5701 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of approximately $68.58 per share of common stock.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may not surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion prior to December 15, 2019, except upon the occurrence of certain conditions relating to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, or specified corporate events including a change in control of the Company. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the stated maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are convertible, at the election of the Company, into solely cash, solely shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to settle the Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion, with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. In accordance with GAAP, the Convertible Notes are accounted for as a liability with a separate equity component recorded for the conversion option. A liability was recorded for the Convertible Notes on the issuance date at fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current market rates for debt instruments with similar terms. The difference between the initial proceeds from the Convertible Notes and the estimated fair value of the debt instruments resulted in a debt discount, with an offset recorded to additional paid-in capital representing the equity component. The discount on the Convertible Notes was approximately $6.1 million at issuance, which represents the cash discount paid of approximately $2.6 million and the approximate $3.5 million attributable to the value of the conversion option recorded in equity, which is being amortized into interest expense through the maturity date of the Convertible Notes. As of September 30, 2018, the unamortized debt discount of our Convertible Notes was approximately $2.0 million.

In conjunction with the acquisition of the property in Aspen, Colorado, the master tenant contributed approximately $1.5 million of the purchase price, resulting in a net investment by the Company of approximately $26.5 million. The $1.5 million purchase price contribution is reflected as deferred revenue and will be accreted into income property rental revenue over the term of the lease.

As more fully described in Part I, Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company acquired nine additional single-tenant income properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $76.3 million (the “October Acquisitions”) which were funded utilizing available capacity under our Credit Facility. Including the October Acquisitions, the Company’s cumulative acquisitions of income-producing assets through October 26, 2018 is approximately $102.8 million, which exceeds the mid-point of the full year 2018 guidance of $100.0 million. We may make additional investments in income-producing properties during the remainder of 2018 of up to $20 million. We currently do not expect to make investments in commercial loans secured by commercial real estate during the remainder of 2018. We expect to fund additional acquisitions utilizing available capacity under our credit facility, cash from operations, proceeds from land sales transactions, possibly the proceeds from the dispositions of income properties, and potentially the proceeds from the sale of all or a portion of our Subsurface Interests, each of which we expect will qualify under the like-kind exchange deferred-tax structure, and additional financing sources.

Dispositions. Four income properties were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On March 26, 2018, the Company completed the Self-Developed Properties Sale for approximately $11.4 million. The sale included the 22,012 square-foot Concierge office building, the 30,720 square-foot Mason Commerce Center comprised of two office buildings, and the 15,360 square-foot Williamson Business Park office building. The gain on the sale totaled approximately $3.7 million, or approximately $0.49 per share, after tax. The Company utilized the proceeds to fund a portion of the previously acquired income property located near Portland, Oregon, leased to Wells Fargo, through a reverse 1031 like-kind exchange structure. As part of the transaction, the Company entered into a lease of its approximately 7,600 square-foot office space in Williamson Business Park for approximately 5 years at a market rental rate.

Capital Expenditures. In conjunction with the Company’s sale of approximately 3.4 acres of land to RaceTrac in December 2013, the Company agreed to reimburse RaceTrac for a portion of the costs for road improvements and the other costs associated with bringing multiple ingress/egress points to the entire 23-acre Williamson Crossing site, including the Company’s remaining 19.6 acres. The total cost for the improvements was approximately $1.26 million and the Company has committed to reimburse RaceTrac in an amount equal to $976,500. In 2013, the Company deposited $283,500 of cash in escrow related to the improvements, which was previously classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company received confirmation that the required improvements were completed by RaceTrac. Accordingly, $283,500 was paid to RaceTrac leaving no remaining escrow balance as of September 30, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the remaining commitment of approximately $693,000 was paid to RaceTrac from the proceeds of the sale of the remaining Williamson Crossing land. There is no remaining commitment as of September 30, 2018.

In conjunction with the Company’s sale of approximately 18.1 acres of land to an affiliate of Sam’s Club (“Sam’s”) in December of 2015, the Company agreed to reimburse Sam’s for a portion of their construction costs applicable to adjacent outparcels retained by the Company. As a result, in December 2015, the Company deposited $125,000 of cash in escrow related to construction work which is classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. The total amount in escrow as of September 30, 2018, was approximately $125,000, including accrued interest. Accordingly, the

59


 

Table of Contents

Company’s maximum commitment related to the construction work benefitting the outparcels adjacent to Sam’s land parcel is approximately $125,000, to be paid from escrow upon completion.

During August of 2018, the Company executed a contract with a third party to complete tenant improvements at The Grove at Winter Park property in Winter Park, Florida, for a total of approximately $430,000. The Company has incurred approximately $102,000 of these costs as of September 30, 2018, leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $328,000.

During September of 2018, the Company executed a contract with a third party to complete parking lot paving and improvements at the Company’s property in Raleigh, North Carolina, leased to Wells Fargo for a total of approximately $329,000. The Company has incurred approximately $89,000 of these costs as of September 30, 2018, leaving a remaining commitment of approximately $240,000.

In connection with the Golf Course Land Purchase, each year the Company is obligated to pay the Per-Round Surcharge with an annual minimum Per-Round Surcharge of $70,000 and a maximum aggregate of Per-Round Surcharges of $700,000. The maximum amount of $700,000 represents contingent consideration and was recorded as an increase in Golf Buildings, Improvements, and Equipment and Accrued and Other Liabilities in the accompany consolidated balance sheets during the year ended December 31, 2017. The first annual payment of $70,000 was made in January of 2018, leaving a remaining commitment of $630,000 as of September 30, 2018.

As of September 30, 2018, we have no other contractual requirements to make capital expenditures.

In connection with a certain land sale contract to which the Company is a party, the purchaser’s pursuit of customary development entitlements gave rise to an inquiry by federal regulatory agencies regarding prior agricultural activities by the Company on such land. During the second quarter of 2015, we received a written information request regarding such activities. We submitted a written response to the information request along with supporting documentation. During the fourth quarter of 2015, based on discussions with the agency, a penalty related to this matter was deemed probable, and accordingly the estimated penalty of $187,500 was accrued as of December 31, 2015, for which payment was made during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Also during the fourth quarter of 2015, the agency advised the Company that the resolution to the inquiry would likely require the Company to incur costs associated with wetlands restoration relating to approximately 148.4 acres of the Company’s land. At December 31, 2015, the Company’s third-party environmental engineers estimated the cost for such restoration activities to range from approximately $1.7 million to approximately $1.9 million. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2015, the Company accrued an obligation of approximately $1.7 million, representing the low end of the estimated range of possible restoration costs, and included such estimated costs on the consolidated balance sheets as an increase in the basis of our land and development costs associated with those and benefitting surrounding acres. As of September 30, 2016, the final proposal from the Company’s third-party environmental engineer was received reflecting a total cost of approximately $2.0 million. Accordingly, an increase in the accrual of approximately $300,000 was made during the second quarter of 2016. The Company has funded approximately $1.6 million of the total $2.0 million of estimated costs through September 30, 2018. The Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that the estimated remaining liability of approximately $453,000 could change within one year of the date of the consolidated financial statements, which in turn could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and future cash flows. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis; however, actual results may differ from those estimates.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale of approximately 1,581 acres of land to Minto Communities LLC which acreage represents a portion of the Company’s remaining $708,000 obligation. Accordingly, the Company deposited $423,000 of cash in escrow to secure performance on the obligation. The funds in escrow can be drawn upon completion of certain milestones including completion of restoration and annual required monitoring. The first such milestone was achieved during the fourth quarter of 2017 and $189,500 of the escrow was refunded leaving an escrow balance of approximately $234,000 as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, resolution of the regulatory matter required the Company to apply for an additional permit pertaining to an additional approximately 54.66 acres, which permit may require mitigation activities which the Company anticipates could be satisfied through the utilization of existing mitigation credits owned by the Company or the acquisition of mitigation credits. Resolution of this matter allowed the Company to obtain certain permits from the applicable federal or state regulatory agencies needed in connection with the closing of the land sale contract that gave rise to this matter. As of September 30, 2017, the Company determined that approximately 36 mitigation credits were required to be utilized, which represents approximately $298,000 in cost basis of the Company’s mitigation credits. Accordingly, the Company transferred the

60


 

Table of Contents

mitigation credits through a charge to direct cost of revenues of real estate operations during the three months ended September 30, 2017, thereby resolving the required mitigation activities related to the approximately 54.66 acres. In addition, in connection with other land sale contracts to which the Company is or may become a party, the pursuit of customary development entitlements by the potential purchasers may require the Company to utilize or acquire mitigation credits for the purpose of obtaining certain permits from the applicable federal or state regulatory agencies. Any costs incurred in connection with utilizing or acquiring such credits would be incorporated into the basis of the land under contract. No amounts related to such potential future costs have been accrued as of September 30, 2018.

During the period from the fourth quarter of 2015 through the first quarter of 2016, the Company received communications from Wintergreen Advisers, LLC (“Wintergreen”), some of which have been filed publicly. In investigating Wintergreen’s allegations contained in certain of these communications, in pursuing the strategic alternatives process suggested by Wintergreen, and in engaging in a proxy contest in 2017, the Company incurred costs of approximately $3.0 million through December 31, 2017. Approximately $1.6 million of the approximately $3.0 million was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2017, of which approximately $1.2 million is specifically for legal representation and third-party costs related to the proxy contest. In addition to the costs incurred through December 31, 2017, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred approximately $939,000, which includes legal representation and third-party costs arising from shareholder-related matters, including the proxy contest in 2018. None of Wintergreen’s allegations, which included allegations regarding inadequate disclosure and other wrong-doing by the Company and its directors and officers, were found to have any basis or merit. 

We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with our cash on hand, cash flow from our operations, cash from the completion of 1031 like-kind exchanges, and the available borrowing capacity of approximately $99.0 million under the Credit Facility, based on the level of borrowing base assets, as of September 30, 2018. In connection with the October 2018 Acquisitions (as defined in Part I, Note 21, “Subsequent Events”), the Company utilized approximately $70.0 million from the Credit Facility to fund the acquisitions. As a result of the $70.0 million draw, as of October 26, 2018, the Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of approximately $120.7 million and available borrowing capacity of approximately $29.0 million, based on the level of borrowing base assets and current commitment level of $150.0 million.

Our Board of Directors and management consistently review the allocation of capital with the goal of maximizing the long-term return for our shareholders. These reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing stock, and retaining funds for reinvestment.

Otherwise, at least annually, the Board of Directors reviews our business plan and corporate strategies and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant.

Management’s focus is to continue to execute on our strategy, which is to monetize our land holdings and redeploy the proceeds, when possible from like-kind exchange transactions, and utilizing leverage including the borrowing capacity available under our Credit Facility and possibly the disposition or payoffs on our commercial loan investments and subsurface transactions to increase and diversify our portfolio of income-producing properties, to provide stabilized cash flows with good risk adjusted returns primarily in major metropolitan areas and growth markets.

We believe that we currently have a reasonable level of leverage. Proceeds from closed land transactions provide us with investible capital. Our strategy is to utilize leverage, when appropriate and necessary, and proceeds from land transactions, sales of income properties, the disposition or payoffs on our commercial loan investments, and certain transactions in our subsurface interests, to acquire income properties. We may also acquire or originate commercial loan investments, invest in securities of real estate companies, or make other shorter-term investments. Our targeted investment classes may include the following:

·

Single-tenant retail and office, double or triple net leased, properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets;

·

Multi-tenant office and retail properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets, typically stabilized;

·

Purchase or origination of ground leases;

·

Self-developed properties on Company owned land including select office, flex, industrial, and retail;

61


 

Table of Contents

·

Joint venture development using Company owned land;

·

Origination or purchase of commercial loan investments of loans with terms of 1-10 years with strong risk-adjusted yields with property types to include hotel, office, retail, land and industrial;

·

Select regional area investments using Company market knowledge and expertise to earn strong risk-adjusted yields; and

·

Real estate related investment securities, including commercial mortgage backed securities, preferred or common stock, and corporate bonds.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2017. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The principal market risk (i.e. the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices), to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, relating to our debt. We may utilize overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments as a means to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not believe that interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments, if any, is material due to the nature of the investments.

We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk relating to our own debt in connection with our credit facility, as this facility carries a variable rate of interest. Our borrowings on our $150.0 million revolving credit facility bear a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of between 150 basis points and 220 basis points based on our level of borrowing as a percentage of our total asset value. As of September 30, 2018, the outstanding balance on our credit facility was approximately $50.7 million. Due to the $70.0 million draw in October 2018 for the October 2018 Acquisitions, the outstanding balance on our credit facility was approximately $120.7 million as of October 26, 2018. A hypothetical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e., 1%) would affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows by approximately $1.2 million. The $24.7 million mortgage loan which closed on April 15, 2016, bears a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of 190 basis points. The interest rate for this mortgage loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 3.17%. By virtue of fixing the variable rate, our exposure to changes in interest rates is minimal but for the impact on Other Comprehensive Income. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2018, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the nine months ended

September 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of its business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

On November 21, 2011, the Company, Indigo Mallard Creek LLC and Indigo Development LLC, as owners of the property leased to Harris Teeter, Inc. (“Harris Teeter”) in Charlotte, North Carolina, were served with pleadings filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for a highway condemnation action involving this property. The proposed road modifications would impact access to the property. The Company does not believe the road modifications provided a basis for Harris Teeter to terminate the Lease. Regardless, in January 2013, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (“NCDOT”) proposed to redesign the road modifications to keep the all access intersection open for ingress with no change to the planned limitation on egress to the right-in/right-out only. Additionally, NCDOT and the City of Charlotte proposed to build and maintain a new access road/point into the property. Construction has begun and is not expected to be completed until 2019. Harris Teeter has expressed satisfaction with the redesigned project and indicated that it will not attempt to terminate its lease if this project is built as currently redesigned. Because the redesigned project will not be completed until 2019, the condemnation case has been placed in administrative closure. As a result, the trial and mediation will not likely be scheduled until requested by the parties, most likely in 2019 or 2020.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Certain statements contained in this report (other than statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company.

There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.

We wish to caution readers that the assumptions, which form the basis for forward-looking statements with respect to or that may impact earnings for the year-ended December 31, 2018, and thereafter, include many factors that are beyond the Company’s ability to control or estimate precisely. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the real estate market in Daytona Beach and Volusia County, Florida; the impact of a prolonged recession or downturn in economic conditions; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and income properties; the impact of environmental and land use regulations generally and on certain land sale transactions specifically; extreme or severe weather conditions; the impact of competitive real estate activity; variability in quarterly results due to the unpredictable timing of land transactions; the loss of any major income property tenants; the timing of land sale transactions; and the availability of capital. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the additional factor discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2018. There have been no material changes to those risk factors. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company.
