TALON REAL ESTATE HOLDING CORP.


NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Organization


We were incorporated as Guide Holdings, Inc. (“Guide”) in the State of Utah on November 1, 2007, for the sole purpose of becoming the holding company of Guidebook, which converted from a Utah limited liability company to a Utah corporation on November 1, 2007.  Guidebook was organized in the State of Utah as a limited liability company on June 16, 2003.  Guide focused on providing “do-it-yourself” instructional manuals for residential electrical, plumbing, and remodeling applications.


On June 7, 2013, we entered into a series of transactions (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”) that changed our business organization. On June 7, 2013, we changed our name to Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. (“TREHC”, or “the Company”) and issued 13,540,190 shares of our common stock for the contributions from the holders of a 49% interest in 5130 Industrial Street, LLC (“5130 LLC”) and all the interest in Talon Real Estate, LLC (“Talon RE”) which holds a purchase agreement to acquire the remaining 51% interest in 5130 LLC, for 2,820,810 shares. 5130 LLC was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 23, 2005 to purchase real estate. Talon RE was incorporated in the state of Minnesota on December 20, 2012 and began operations in 2013 for the purpose of acquiring real estate properties and preparing the Formation Transactions.  On June 3, 2013, we entered into a limited partnership agreement of Talon OP, L.P. (“Talon OP”), which we refer to as our Operating Partnership. On June 7, 2013 we contributed our interest in 5130 LLC and Talon RE into Talon OP for equivalent general partnership units as part of the Formation Transactions. 5130 LLC owns an industrial complex consisting of approximately 171,639 square feet located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.  We acquired such interest in this entity in June 2013 from certain parties, including the MG Kaminski Revocable Trust (“The Kaminski Trust”), the beneficiaries of which are the children of MG Kaminski, our Chief Executive Officer.  The Kaminski Trust owns the remaining 51% interest in the industrial complex.  Talon RE, a wholly owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, entered into a contribution agreement to acquire the remaining interest in the entity from The Kaminski Trust, subject to receiving consent to the transfer from the entity’s lender.  On June 7, 2013, we entered into a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which our company divested ourselves of our historic “do-it-yourself” instruction manual business by selling all the outstanding shares of The Guidebook Company, Inc., a Utah Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary primarily engaged in such business (“Guidebook”).  Guide had 1,600,032 shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Formation Transactions. These shares, along with the shares issued in the Formation Transactions on June 7, 2013, represent the shares issued and outstanding immediately after formation of Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. with a combined total of 15,140,222 shares.


Talon Real Estate Holding Corp, as the general partner of Talon OP, has management responsibility for all the activities of the operating partnership. TREHC owned approximately 76.25% and 100% of the operating partnership as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The operating partnership owned 49% of 5130 Industrial Street, LLC and 100% of Talon Bren Road, LLC as of June 30, 2014.  Talon Bren Road, LLC, a limited liability company organized in the state of Delaware, was formed on May 9, 2014.


Basis of Presentation


We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and, as such, we generally have the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Operating Partnership, subject to certain limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.  Guidebook, which was sold in connection with the Formation Transactions, is no longer included in our financial statements. The contributions that constitute the Formation Transactions were accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, and Talon OP was considered to be the accounting acquirer. Therefore, the historical presentation of our financial statements for periods prior to the Formation Transactions are that of Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis including the Operating Partnership with its subsidiaries.  Historical presentation of shareholders’ equity of TREHC was restated for common stock issued in the Formation Transactions and retained earnings of TREHC, formerly Guide, in periods prior to the formation were eliminated.


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TREHC and its interest in the Operating Partnership. The limited partners in the Operating Partnership have a redemption option that they may exercise. Upon exercise of the redemption option by the limited partners, the Company has the choice of redeeming the limited partners' interests ("Units") for TREHC common shares of stock on a one-for-one basis, or making a cash payment to the unitholder. The redemption generally may be exercised by the limited partners at any time after the first anniversary of the date of the acquisition of the Units subject to volume restrictions.

As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)



NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES AND ENTITIES


The Company owns and operates the following real estate properties through its subsidiary, 5130 LLC:


5130 Industrial Street, Maple Plain, MN

1350 Budd Ave, Maple Plain, MN


The properties are primarily leased to tenants for mixed commercial and industrial usage.  The properties have a combined 171,639 net rentable square feet.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company had tenants occupying approximately 70% of the rentable space.


The Company acquired real estate property through its subsidiary, Talon Bren Road, LLC, located on 20 acres of land at 10301 Bren Road West, Minnetonka, MN on May 29, 2014.  This property is primarily leased to tenants who are wholesale product sales representatives.  These leases are subject to a master lease agreement entered into between Talon Bren Road, LLC and Upper Midwest Allied Gifts Association, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation (“UMAGA”).  This property has 164,472 of net rentable square feet.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company had tenants occupying approximately 90% of the rentable space.


NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Accounting Estimates


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to use estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include determination of the useful life of property and other long-lived assets, valuation and impairment analysis of property and other long-lived assets, and valuation of the allowance for doubtful accounts. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term.


Principles of Consolidation


We evaluate the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.  In determining whether we have a controlling interest in an affiliate and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, contractual and substantive participating rights of the limited partners and shareholders, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. (“TREHC”) and Talon OP, our Operating Partnership, and all subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling interest.  Talon OP also consolidates 5130 LLC, an entity in which it has a 49% ownership interest, based on its ability to control the operating and financial decisions of 5130 LLC.  All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)



NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.


Restricted Escrows and Reserves


The Company is required to hold cash in restricted escrow accounts for insurance, real estate taxes and a replacement reserve. The escrows are used to pay periodic charges of real estate taxes and assessments, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions. The balances in the escrow accounts were $587,991 and $190,472 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.


Rents Receivable


Rents receivable and deferred rent are recorded at their estimated net realizable value. The Company follows a policy of providing an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. The Company does not require collateral and accounts are considered past due if payment is not made on a timely basis in accordance with our credit terms. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off. Receivables have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,080 and $5,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.


Revenue Recognition


Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease agreement, inclusive of leases which provide for scheduled rent increases or rent concessions. Differences between rent income earned and base rent amounts due per the respective lease agreements are credited or charged to deferred rent revenue or deferred rent receivable as applicable.  When the Company enters into lease modifications or extensions with current tenants, the deferred rent at the time of the extension is amortized over the remaining term of the lease, and the revised terms are considered a new lease.


Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other operating expenses are billed monthly based on current year estimated operating costs for applicable expenses.  An additional billing or a refund is made to tenants in the following year after actual operating expenses are determined.


Deferred Leasing Costs and Tenant Allowance


Deferred leasing costs include leasing commissions that are capitalized and are being amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the lease. All direct and indirect costs, including estimated internal costs, associated with the leasing of real estate investments owned by the Company are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease. The Company includes lease incentive costs, which are payments made on behalf of a tenant to sign a lease, in deferred leasing costs and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental revenue. Unamortized costs are charged to expense upon the early termination of the lease.  The Company had no amortization expense for leasing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $983 and $1,965 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


In leasing tenant space, the Company may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance. In accounting for a tenant allowance, the Company determines whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluates the ownership, for accounting purposes, of such improvements. If the Company is considered the owner of the leasehold improvements for accounting purposes, the Company capitalizes the amount of the tenant allowance and depreciates it over the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the related lease term. If the tenant allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, for accounting purposes, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis. The Company had amortization expense of $8,213 and $16,426 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $11,267 and $22,534 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, for related tenant allowances which is included in depreciation and amortization.


Deferred Financing Costs


Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the financing term. The Company had amortization expense of $7,225 and $10,600 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $3,376 and $6,752 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.


Real Estate Property and Fixed Assets


Investment in real estate and fixed assets with a useful life of longer than one year are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property such as land, building and improvements includes cost of acquisitions, development, and construction and tenant allowances and improvements. We allocate the cost of an acquisition, including the assumption of liability, to the acquired tangible assets (including land, buildings and personal property) determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and identifiable intangibles based on their relative fair values.  Acquisitions of real estate are recorded based upon preliminary allocations of the purchase price to management’s assessment of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and any assumed liabilities acquired which are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained up to one year after the date of acquisition. Management’s fair value assessment includes the use of readily accepted fair value techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and comparable sales analysis including management’s reliance on independent market analysis.


Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets for buildings and improvements, and the term of the lease for tenant improvements. The estimated useful lives being used are as follows:


Building

25 years

Building Improvements

15 years

Tenant Improvements

5-10 years

Furniture and Equipment

3 years


Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, whereas expenditures that improve or extend the service lives of assets are capitalized. Disposal and abandonment of improvements are recognized at occurrence as a charge to depreciation.


Intangible Assets


Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible assets and any significant intangible assets (such as above- and below-market leases and value of acquired in-place leases), and any assumed liabilities, and allocates the purchase price based on these fair value assessments. The Company records intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair value apart from goodwill for acquisitions of real estate. The Company amortizes identified intangible assets and liabilities based on the period over which the assets and liabilities are expected to affect the future cash flows of the real estate property acquired. Lease intangibles (such as in-place or above- and below-market leases) are amortized over the term of the related lease.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). This newly issued accounting standard amends the definition of a discontinued operation in ASC 205-20 and requires an entity to provide additional disclosures about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued-operations criteria. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted; and was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.


In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will eliminate all industry-specific guidance and replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on the topic. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Long-lived assets, such as real estate property, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for either of the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.


Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10-30 which results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.


The Company's policy of accounting for uncertain tax positions is to recognize the tax effects from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized, upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.  The Company has examined the tax positions taken in its tax returns and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions. As a result, the Company has recorded no uncertain tax liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet.


The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2010. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. In the event of any future tax assessments, the Company has elected to record the income tax penalties as general and administrative expense and any related interest as interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based Compensation


The Company has granted restricted stock to employees under an approved employee equity incentive plan and to Directors under a director compensation plan. Granted shares are considered issued and outstanding as of the date of the grants.  Stock-based compensation is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is valued at the fair market value on the date of the grant.  However, stock compensation expense recognized at any date must be at least equal to the amount attributable to stock awards that are vested on that date.  The Company has recognized $49,740 and $505,863 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $36,000 of compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.


The Company may also issue common stock in exchange for goods or services of non-employees.  These shares are either fully vested at date of grant or vest over a certain period during which services are provided.  The Company expenses the fair market value of the services over the period in which they are received.  No stock was issued in exchange for goods or services of non-employees in the three or six months ended June 30, 2014.  No stock was issued in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and stock valued at $30,000 was issued for an equivalent value of services received in the six months ended June 30, 2013.


Noncontrolling Interest


Interests in the Operating Partnership held by limited partners are represented by partnership common units of the Operating Partnership. The Company's interest in the Operating Partnership was 76.25% of the common units of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014 and 100% as of December 31, 2013. The operating partnership’s income is allocated to holders of units based upon the ratio of their holdings to the total units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, syndication costs, and profits and losses are allocated to non-controlling interests in accordance with the terms of the operating partnership agreement.


The portion of membership interests in 5130 LLC not held by Talon OP is reported as noncontrolling interest.  Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to the noncontrolling interest based on membership percentages and terms of the operating agreement.


Net Income (Loss) or Earnings Per Share


Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding in accordance with the treasury stock method.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)


5130 LLC is currently in a dispute with the lender and loan servicer on its two mortgage notes payable (the “Notes”) regarding the current status of the Notes and the accounting for historical payments made on the Notes. The lender is claiming that 5130 LLC is in default on the Notes and has filed a complaint to appoint a receiver for the real properties owned by 5130 LLC to foreclose based upon a default under the underlying promissory notes and mortgage.


5130 LLC believes it has made all scheduled monthly payments due on the Notes and that the Notes and related escrow and reserve accounts are correctly reflected on the financial statements based on its ability to confirm remittance of all scheduled payments to the lender. The lender has identified that loan payments were not appropriately applied by the loan servicer to each of the notes and escrow accounts but final reconciliation has yet to be received from the lender.  5130 LLC believes the two parties will be able to resolve this dispute without incurring the cost of litigation and has accrued $63,000 in 2014 as an estimate of loss related to this contingency.


NOTE 9 – RESTRICTED STOCK


The Company has granted restricted stock to employees under an approved employee equity incentive plan and to Directors under a director compensation plan.  The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan dated June 7, 2013 (the “Plan”) allows up to 1,500,000 shares to be issued and granted to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants and automatically increases on January 1 of each year by three percent of the outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year. Employee awards granted in 2013 vest monthly over 36 months provided the recipient remains an employee or consultant of the Company.  Awards granted in 2014 vest either immediately, monthly over a three year period, or monthly over a five year period.  The Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan allows shares of restricted common stock to be granted to board members and is included under the Plan. The 2013 board member awards vest one-third of the shares on the date of grant, one-third on January 1 of the year following the date of grant, and one-third on January 1 of the second year following the date of grant, provided the recipient remains a member of the board as of the vesting date.  The 2014 awards vested immediately in March of 2014.


As of June 30, 2014, the Company had granted 871,300 shares to employees and 360,000 shares to Directors under the Plan.

NOTE 11 – ACQUISITIONS


On May 29, 2014, Talon OP entered into a contribution agreement with Bren Road, LLC and acquired through Talon Bren Road, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is wholly owned by Talon OP, the Minneapolis Mart building and certain other assets located at 10301 Bren Road West, Minnetonka, MN.  The consideration for this property consists of (i) the assumption by Talon Bren Road, LLC of a secured loan of Bren Road, LLC with an aggregate principal amount of $11.5 million and a fixed interest rate of 4.65% which matures on May 28, 2019, and (ii) 5,200,000 common units of Talon OP.  The acquisition closed on May 29, 2014.  The Company recognized approximately $214,000 in revenue and  $17,000 in earnings from this property since acquisition through June 30, 2014.


The process of allocating property costs to its components involves a considerable amount of subjective judgments to be made by Company management.  The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary estimates of fair values of assets and liabilities acquired which are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and finalized by management up to one year after the date of acquisition.  These estimates were based on assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

TALON REAL ESTATE HOLDING CORP.


NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)



NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company has evaluated subsequent events for matters that require recognition or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements through the date these financial statements were issued.


On July 2, 2014, Talon OP, L.P. (“Talon OP”), a Minnesota limited partnership and the entity through which Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. (the “Company”) conducts substantially all of its business, entered into a contribution agreement with Jackson I, LLC, 3014-20, LLC, Fairfield Apartments, LLC, 4330, LLC and Lakes Area Properties, LLC (the “Contributors”) and acquired (the “Acquisition”) the First Trust Center building and certain other assets located at 180 5th Street East, St. Paul, MN (the “Property”) through Talon First Trust, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Talon OP.  The consideration for the Property consists of (i) $32 million of cash, (ii) 30,000 preferred units of Talon OP and (iii) 4 million common units of Talon OP. The acquisition closed on July 2, 2014.


The Company financed the acquisition by obtaining (1) a secured loan from RCC Real Estate, Inc. of an aggregate principal amount of $33 million of which $32 million was initially advanced at an interest rate of 5.75% with an initial maturity date of July 5, 2017 (the “First Mortgage Loan”), and (2) a loan from Jackson I, LLC of an aggregate principal amount of $1.14 million and an interest rate of 6% with a maturity date of August 31, 2014 secured by the Company’s property located at 10301 Bren Road West, Minnetonka, MN. In conjunction with the closing of the First Mortgage Loan, we are party to an interest rate cap transaction with an interest rate cap of 2.50% on the $33 million.


On August 12, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with Curtis Marks, one of its directors.  The note provides for a $500,000 loan to the Company with an annual interest rate of 14%.  The unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest will be paid in a single lump sum payment due on February 8, 2015.  This note is in addition to the prior notes issued to Mr. Marks (see note 6).   Upon receipt of the funds, the Company paid all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the two prior notes to Mr. Marks dated December 30, 2013 and March 7, 2014.  The note agreement provides that the Company will not make any distributions, dividends or payments to any of their equity shareholders other than to preferred unit holders.


NOTE 13 – GOING CONCERN


Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our operations and assets, acquire properties, make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. In the short-term, we have incurred significant expenses related to our formation activities, becoming a public corporation, and preparation for our acquisition strategy creating a cash shortfall from operations in 2013 and continuing through June 2014.


We recently completed two acquisitions in 2014.  On May 29, 2014, we acquired the Minneapolis Mart in Minnetonka, MN for $18 Million.  The building is currently 90% leased encompassing 227,000 total building square feet.  On July 2, 2014, we acquired the building located at 180 5th Street East in St. Paul, Minnesota, a historic thirteen story office tower totaling 856,223 total building square feet located directly adjacent to the new LRT train system and Union Station. These two acquisitions represent current annual revenues of almost $12 million.  Although cash flow to the company has improved, the cash flow generated from these latest acquisitions does not adequately meet all of the cash flows required of our current operations including the payoff of debts expiring in the near future such as the Jackson Loan of $1.14 million which closed on July 2, 2014 with the acquisition of the St. Paul building and matures on August 31, 2014.  Management is currently pursuing refinancing this loan with new debt.


Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds needed to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties and to pursue our strategy of near-term growth through acquisition of properties as well as general and administrative expenses operating as a public company.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)



NOTE 13 – GOING CONCERN (continued)


We currently do not have available cash and cash flows from current operations to provide us with adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future. Our current liabilities exceed our unrestricted cash and we have limited unrestricted cash flow from current operations.   As of June 30, 2014, we had unrestricted cash of $10,211 and current liabilities including accounts payable and accrued expenses substantially in excess of the available cash.  We therefore will require additional capital and/or increased cash flow from future operations to fund our ongoing business. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any required additional capital or generate sufficient cash flow from our current and future operations to fund our ongoing business. If the amount of capital we are able to raise together with our income from operations is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to cease our operations or alter our growth plans.  If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our consolidated financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or a part of their investment.


Although we plan to aggressively pursue acquisitions to grow our business, we are not a party to any agreement to purchase any additional properties (other than the remaining 51% interest in 5130 LLC) and there is no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional properties in the future or obtain the necessary financing to acquire such properties.


Since our available cash and cash flows from current operations do not provide us with adequate cash to satisfy current liabilities and do not provide us with adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will undertake future debt or equity financings in 2014.


In the future, we may use a number of different sources to finance our liquidity needs, including cash flows from operations, issuance of debt securities or equity securities (which might be common or preferred stock), private financings (such as additional bank credit facilities, which may or may not be secured by our assets), asset sales, seller financing, property-level mortgage debt, or any combination of these sources, to the extent available to us, or other sources that may become available from time to time. Any debt that we incur may be recourse or non-recourse and may be secured or unsecured.  We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, and other costs.  Although we have successfully raised equity capital in the past, we cannot be assured that we will be able to continue to be successful in raising capital through issuance of securities.  Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, our status as a new enterprise without significant assets or demonstrated operating history, and/or the loss of key management.  There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any required additional capital or generate sufficient cash flow from our current and proposed operations to fund our ongoing business.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.


Overview


Talon Real Estate Holding Corp is a publicly traded real estate corporation that intends to invest primarily in single and multi-tenant office, industrial and retail properties within the Midwest and South Central regions of the United States.  It currently owns four properties located in and around Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area of Minnesota.  Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN and founded in June 2013, Talon’s primary objective is to provide shareholders with attractive returns from investments in real estate through dividend distribution and growth.


On June 7, 2013 we acquired a 49% interest in an entity that owns an industrial complex consisting of two buildings with approximately 171,639 square feet located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. We entered into a contribution agreement to acquire the remaining interest in this entity, subject to receiving consent to the transfer from the entity’s lender.


We recently completed two acquisitions totaling $58 Million and over 1 million in gross building square feet.  On May 29, 2014, we completed the acquisition of a 227,000 square foot building situated on 20 acres of land in Minnetonka, MN that was 90% occupied with primarily wholesale distributors.  On July 2, 2014, we completed the acquisition of a thirteen story office tower located in downtown St. Paul, MN totaling 856,223 total building square feet that was 62% occupied by corporate and government tenants.


We plan to invest in both core income-producing properties requiring relatively small improvements or enhancements and value-added properties that will require more significant investments of capital or management attention (including, but not limited to, leasing vacant space or extending expiring leases) that we expect to provide current income as well as the increased potential for higher long-term value to our company. Our long-term plan is to invest in value-added properties while maintaining a significant part of our portfolio in core properties. Our investment allocation between these two types of properties may significantly fluctuate in the short term as we seek the best opportunities.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our discussion and analysis of the historical financial condition and results of our operations are based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.


The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. We have provided a summary of our significant accounting policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of our company elsewhere in this report. We have summarized below those accounting policies that require material subjective or complex judgments and that have the most significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable as of the date hereof. Other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations and financial condition to those of other companies. There have been no significant changes to those policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Investments in Real Estate and Fixed Assets


Investments in real estate and fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property such as land, building and improvements includes cost of acquisitions, development, and construction and tenant allowances and improvements. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and major improvements are capitalized. We allocate the cost of an acquisition, including the assumption of liability, to the acquired tangible asset and identifiable intangibles based on their relative fair values. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market economic conditions.


We allocate the cost of an acquisition, including the assumption of liability, to the acquired tangible assets (including land, buildings and personal property) determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and identifiable intangibles based on their relative fair values.  Acquisitions of real estate are recorded based upon preliminary allocations of the purchase price to management’s assessment of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and any assumed liabilities acquired which are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained up to one year after the date of acquisition.


Intangible Assets


Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible assets and any significant intangible assets (such as above- and below-market leases and value of acquired in-place leases), and any assumed liabilities, and allocates the purchase price based on these fair value assessments. The Company records intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair value apart from goodwill for acquisitions of real estate. The Company amortizes identified intangible assets and liabilities based on the period over which the assets and liabilities are expected to affect the future cash flows of the real estate property acquired. Lease intangibles (such as in-place or above- and below-market leases) are amortized over the term of the related lease.


Noncontrolling Interest


Interests in the operating partnership held by limited partners are represented by operating partnership units. The Company's interest in the Operating Partnership was 76.25% of the common units of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014 and 100% as of December 31, 2013. The operating partnership’s income is allocated to holders of units based upon the ratio of their holdings to the total units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, syndication costs, and profits and losses are allocated to non-controlling interests in accordance with the terms of the operating partnership agreement.


The portion of membership interests in 5130 LLC not held by Talon OP is reported as noncontrolling interest.  Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to the noncontrolling interest based on membership percentages and terms of the operating agreement.


Significant Events and Transactions during the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014


Summarized below are the Company’s significant transactions and events during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and a transaction completed on July 2, 2014 as disclosed in a recent press release.


The Company completed two real estate acquisitions totaling $58 Million and over 1 million in gross square feet.


On May 29, 2014, Talon acquired the Minneapolis Mart in Minnetonka, MN for $18 Million.  The building is currently 90% leased encompassing 227,000 total building square feet.  The consideration for the property consists of the assumption by Talon Bren Road, LLC of a secured loan of Bren Road, LLC with an aggregate principal amount of $11.5 million and a fixed interest rate of 4.65% which matures on May 28, 2019 and 5,200,000 common units of Talon OP.




22





Subsequent to quarter-end, we acquired 180 5th Street East in St. Paul, Minnesota, a historic thirteen story office tower totaling 856,223 total building square feet located directly adjacent to the new LRT train system and Union Station in downtown St. Paul for $40 million.  The consideration for the property consists of (i) $32 million of cash, (ii) 30,000 preferred units of Talon OP and (iii) 4 million common units of Talon OP.  The property is 62% occupied and represents a great leverage opportunity as a value-add asset through strong property management and lease-up strategy.    The Company financed this acquisition by obtaining (1) a secured loan from RCC Real Estate, Inc. of an aggregate principal amount of $33 million at an initial interest rate of 5.75% and initial maturity date of July 5, 2017, and (2) a loan from Jackson I, LLC (the “Jackson Loan”) of an aggregate principal amount of $1.14 million at an interest rate of 6% and maturity date of August 31, 2014 secured by the property located at 10301 Bren Road West, Minnetonka, MN.  We completed the acquisition on July 2, 2014.


We have recognized approximately $122,000 of financing costs for this acquisition as of June 30, 2014 which has been included in deferred financing costs on the balance sheet.


These two acquisitions are expected to contribute almost $12 million in gross revenues annually compared to under $600,000 in revenues earned by the Company in the prior year.


Market Conditions and Outlook


Our recent acquisitions were accomplished utilizing a 721 Exchange tax deferral methodology or “UPREIT” providing several unique advantages over a 1031 exchange or selling to cash buyers.   This strategy is advantageous for real estate owners seeking to mitigate and defer their immediate tax obligations, stay invested in real estate, diversify their holdings, and seek potential future growth and liquidity by accepting Talon operating partnership units which can later be converted 1:1 for Talon common stock under the ticker “TALR” and their capital gains tax obligations are deferred until the common stock is ultimately sold in the public market.


Our strategy is to continue offering these tax-deferred solutions to real estate owners as part of diversifying our shareholder base creating liquidity and shareholder value.  We continue to believe office and industrial properties offer the best return on equity metrics as part of our investment strategy.   Retail will also be part our overall portfolio with an average overall target portfolio contribution of nearly 20% over the long-term.


The middle corridor of the United States continues to offer higher cap rates compared to the West and East coasts and we will continue to explore additional investment options within this region to continue our mission to provide return on equity targets of 8-15% per asset or portfolio.


Results of Operations


We expect our revenues, tenant expense reimbursements and many expenses will increase on an absolute basis in the future as we seek to acquire additional properties, assume or refinance indebtedness in connection with the acquisitions and build the infrastructure necessary to grow our business.  In the near term, we expect to incur higher legal and other professional fees in pursuit of these acquisitions.


Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to three months ended June 30, 2013


Revenues and Expenses


Rental revenues increased $147,258, or 181%, to $228,615 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $81,357 for the same period of the prior year, and tenant reimbursements increased 90,012, or 262%, to $124,312 compared to $34,300 for the same period of the prior year.  The increase in rental revenues and tenant reimbursements over the same period in the prior year is primarily attributable to the impact of the acquisition of the property at Bren Road, Minnetonka on May 29, 2014 which accounts for almost $215,000 of the increase in rent and tenant reimbursements and a new tenant at 5130 Industrial Street.


General and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent at $76,779 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $78,982 for the same period of the prior year.


Salary and compensation expenses increased $65,785, or 58%, to $179,144 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $113,359 for the same period of the prior year. The increased expenses in 2014 were due to an increased number of employees plus non-cash stock compensation of approximately $50,000 granted to our directors and employees versus $36,000 granted in the same period of the prior year.




23





Professional fees decreased $190,403 or 69%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $274,645 for the same period of the prior year. The Company incurred higher than normal legal expenses in second quarter of 2013 as we prepared for the Company’s formation as a public real estate holding corporation on June 7, 2013.


Property operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance increased $60,008 or 105%, to $117,053 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $57,045 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in these expenses is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the property at Bren Road on May 29, 2014.


Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $60,728, or 99%, to $122,296 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $61,568 for the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of the property at Bren Road, Minnetonka on May 29, 2014.


Interest expense increased by $52,169, or 99%, to $127,227 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $75,058 for the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of the property at Bren Road, Minnetonka on May 29, 2014.


Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to six months ended June 30, 2013


Revenues and Expenses


Rental revenues increased $157,359 or 91%, to $330,818 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $173,459 for the same period of the prior year, and tenant reimbursements increased 87,199, or 127%, to $155,799 compared to $68,600 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in rental revenues and tenant reimbursements over the same period in the prior year is primarily attributable to the impact of the acquisition of the property at Bren Road, Minnetonka on May 29, 2014 which accounts for almost $215,000 of the increase in rent and tenant reimbursement, and a new tenant at 5130 Industrial Street.


General and administrative expenses increased $78,862 or 62%, to $205,632 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $126,770 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to expenses incurred to operate as a publicly held real estate holding corporation such as corporate insurance and office rent, which we did not incur operating only as 5130 Industrial Street, LLC during the first five months of 2013.  There was also an increase in accrued expenses of $63,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 for the loss contingency related to the 5130 LLC lender dispute described in Note 8 of the financial statements.


Salary and compensation expenses increased $634,164 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $139,445 for the same period of the prior year. The increased expenses in 2014 were due to an increased number of employees plus non-cash stock compensation of approximately $506,000 granted to our directors and employees versus $36,000 for the same period in the prior year.


Professional fees decreased $219,075 or 61%, to $141,657 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $360,732 for the same period of the prior year. The Company incurred higher than normal legal expenses in first half of 2013 as we prepared for the Company’s formation as a public real estate holding corporation on June 7, 2013.


Property operating expenses increased $18,684 or 40%, to $65,610 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $46,926 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in property operating expenses is attributable to the impact of the acquisition of the property at Bren Road, Minnetonka on May 29, 2014 offset by decreases in operating expenses at 5130 Industrial Street.


Real estate taxes and insurance expense increased $26,415 or 33%, to $106,748 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $80,333 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in expenses is attributable to the impact of the acquisition of the property at Bren Road, Minnetonka on May 29, 2014 offset by some expense savings for the rest of the company.


Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $59,105, or 48%, to $181,574 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $122,469 for the same period of the prior year.  The increase is primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of the property at Bren Road, Minnetonka on May 29, 2014.



24





Interest expense increased by $54,808, or 37%, to $203,559 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $148,751 for the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of the property at Bren Road, Minnetonka on May 29, 2014.


Funds from Operations and Non-GAAP Reconciliation


The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines funds from operations, or FFO, as net income (loss) available to common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We intend to calculate FFO in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition.


Management intends to use FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Because real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself. In addition, securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties use FFO as the primary metric for comparing the relative performance of equity REITs. There can be no assurance that FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures used by REITs.


FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on indebtedness.


We define adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, as FFO excluding the non-cash effects of straight-line rent and amortization of lease inducements and deferred financing costs, depreciation of non-real estate, and excluding the effects of non-cash compensation charges. U.S. GAAP requires rental revenues related to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease that is higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in our consolidated balance sheet. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, cash rent payments exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. By excluding the non-cash portion of straight-line rental revenue and amortization of lease inducement and deferred financing costs as well as non-cash compensation expense, investors, analysts and our management can compare AFFO between periods.


Below is the calculation of FFO and AFFO and the reconciliation to net income (loss), which we believe is the most comparable GAAP financial measure:

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our operations and assets, acquire properties, make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. In the short-term, we have incurred significant expenses related to our formation activities, becoming a public corporation, and preparation for our acquisition strategy creating a cash shortfall from operations in 2013 and continuing through June 30, 2014.



26





We recently completed two acquisitions in 2014.  On May 29, 2014, we acquired the Minneapolis Mart in Minnetonka, MN for $18 Million.  The building is currently 90% leased encompassing 227,000 total building square feet.  On July 2, 2014, we acquired the building located at 180 5th Street East in St. Paul, Minnesota, a historic thirteen story office tower totaling 856,223 total building square feet located directly adjacent to the new LRT train system and Union Station.   These two acquisitions represent current annual revenues of almost $12 million.  Although cash flow to the company has greatly improved, the cash flow generated from these latest acquisitions does not adequately meet all of the cash flows required of our current operations.


Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds needed to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties including the payoff of debts expiring in the near future such as the Jackson Loan of $1.14 million which closed on July 2, 2014 with the acquisition of the St. Paul building and matures on August 31, 2014.  Management is currently pursuing refinancing this loan with new debt. We also require cash to pursue our strategy of near-term growth through acquisition of properties as well as general and administrative expenses operating as a public company.


We currently do not have available cash and cash flows from current operations to provide us with adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future. Our current liabilities exceed our unrestricted cash and we have insufficient cash flow from current operations to pursue our strategy without further financing.   As of June 30, 2014, we had unrestricted cash of $10,211 and current liabilities including accounts payable and accrued expenses substantially in excess of the available cash.  We therefore will require additional capital and/or increased cash flow from future operations to fund our ongoing business. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any required additional capital or generate sufficient cash flow from our current and future operations to fund our ongoing business. If the amount of capital we are able to raise together with our income from operations is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to cease our operations or alter our growth plans.  If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our consolidated financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or a part of their investment.


Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds needed to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties and to pursue our strategy of near-term growth through acquisition of properties, including:


·

interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness,

·

general and administrative expenses,

·

professional fees,

·

salaries and compensation, and

·

anticipated and unanticipated capital expenditures.


Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for scheduled debt maturities, non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically and continued expansion of our business through acquisitions. Although we plan to aggressively pursue acquisitions to grow our business, we are not a party to any agreement to purchase any additional properties (other than the remaining 51% interest in 5130 LLC) and there is no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional properties in the future.


Since our available cash and cash flows from current operations do not provide us with adequate cash to satisfy current liabilities and are not expected to provide us with adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will undertake future debt or equity financings during the year.  Additional financing is necessary for our company to continue as a going concern.


In the future, we anticipate using a number of different sources to finance our liquidity needs, including cash flows from operations, issuance of debt securities or equity securities (which might be common or preferred stock), private financings (such as additional bank credit facilities, which may or may not be secured by our assets), asset sales, seller financing, property-level mortgage debt, or any combination of these sources, to the extent available to us, or other sources that may become available from time to time. Any debt that we incur may be recourse or non-recourse and may be secured or unsecured. Although we have successfully raised equity capital in the past, we cannot be assured that we will be able to continue to be successful in raising capital through issuance of securities.  Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, our status as a new enterprise without significant assets or demonstrated operating history, and/or the loss of key management.  There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any required additional capital or generate sufficient cash flow from our current and proposed operations to fund our ongoing business.

Outstanding Indebtedness


5130 LLC, an entity in which our Operating Partnership owns a 49% interest and that owns an industrial complex, is party to a loan agreement secured by such industrial complex. The loan agreement provides for two term loans, the A loan, with an original balance of $4.45 million, and the B loan, with an original balance of $300,000, with fixed interest rates of 6.049% per annum and 12.75% per annum, respectively, and a current weighted average loan rate of 6.90% on a combined balance of approximately $4.5 million. The loans mature on April 8, 2017 and can be accelerated in certain circumstances, including if there is an event of default under the loan agreement (see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).


Talon Bren Road, LLC, an entity in which our Operating Partnership acquired on May 29, 2014, is party to a loan agreement secured by the building located at 10301 Bren Road West, Minnetonka, MN.  It is also a party to two loans to fund the restricted escrow accounts available for the purpose of capital improvements at the building.  This property also secures the Jackson Loan entered into on July 2, 2014 with the acquisition of the property located in St. Paul, MN.

(1) See Note 8 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements attached herein.

(2)  See Notes 6 and 12 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements attached herein.  These notes were paid off with the issuance of a new promissory note on August 12, 2014 to Curtis Marks for $500,000 with an annual interest rate of 14% maturing on February 8, 2015.


Additionally, the Company became party to loans to complete the acquisition of the property located at 180 5th Street East in St. Paul, Minnesota on July 2, 2014.  The Company financed this acquisition by obtaining (1) a secured loan from RCC Real Estate, Inc. of an aggregate principal amount of $33 million with an initial advance of $32 million at an initial interest rate of 5.75% and initial maturity date of July 5, 2017, and (2) a loan from Jackson I, LLC (the “Jackson Loan”) of an aggregate principal amount of $1.14 million at an interest rate of 6% and maturity date of August 31, 2014 secured by the property located at 10301 Bren Road West, Minnetonka, MN.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


At June 30, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.


Inflation


As of June 30, 2014, most of our leases required tenants to reimburse us for a share of our operating expenses. As result, we are able to pass on much of any increases to our property operating expenses that might occur due to inflation by correspondingly increasing our expense reimbursement revenues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, inflation did not have a material impact on our revenues or net income.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Interest Rate Sensitivity Risk


Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that interest rate risk will be the primary market risk to which we will be exposed. As of June 30, 2014, all of our outstanding debt had a fixed rate.  On July 2, 2014, we secured a $33 million loan with a current interest rate of 5.75% which is indexed monthly to the one month libor plus a spread of 5.50% per annum.  In conjunction with the closing of this loan, we are party to an interest rate cap transaction with an interest rate cap of 2.50% on the $33 million. We are at risk to interest rate fluctuations on $33 million up to the interest rate cap of 2.5% until maturity on July 5, 2016.  Our interest rate risk may further increase if we increase our debt in the future or refinance our existing debt.


We may become exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of floating rate debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage overall borrowing.


Foreign Currency Exchange Risk


Our results of operations and cash flows are not materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.


Item 4.

Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.

Legal Proceedings


We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.  From time to time, we may be named as a defendant in legal actions or otherwise be subject to claims arising from our normal business activities.  Any such actions, even those that lack merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.  We believe that we have obtained adequate insurance coverage or rights to indemnification in connection with potential legal proceedings that may arise.


Item 1A.

Risk Factors


There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Current Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014.


Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


On August 12, 2014, Talon Real Estate Holding Company (“TREHC”) and Talon OP, L.P., TREHC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, jointly issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 to Curtis Marks, a director of the Company. The note bears interest at 14% per annum and Talon OP, L.P. will pay principal and all accrued interest on the promissory note on or before February 8, 2015. In addition, Talon OP, L.P. may prepay the promissory note in whole or in part at any time.  Until all obligations under this note have been fulfilled by us, neither TREHC nor Talon OP, L.P. shall make any distributions, dividends or payments to any of their equity or security holders with the exception of payments to preferred units of Talon OP, L.P.


The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the promissory note, which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
