STRATEGIC REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on September 18, 2008, as a Maryland corporation. Effective August 22, 2013, the Company changed its name from TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. to Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. The Company believes it qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and has elected REIT status beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009, the year in which the Company began material operations.

 

Since the Company’s inception, its business has been managed by an external advisor. The Company has no direct employees and all management and administrative personnel responsible for conducting the Company’s business are employed by its advisor. Currently, the Company is externally managed and advised by SRT Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”) pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) initially executed on August 10, 2013, and subsequently renewed in August 2014, August 2015 and August 2016. The current term of the Advisory Agreement terminates on August 10, 2017. The Advisor is an affiliate of Glenborough, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Glenborough”), a privately held full-service real estate investment and management company focused on the acquisition, management and leasing of commercial properties.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Strategic Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”). During the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”), as the Company accepted subscriptions for shares of its common stock, it transferred substantially all of the net proceeds of the initial public offering to the OP as a capital contribution. The Company is the sole general partner of the OP. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company owned 96.3% and 96.2%, respectively, of the limited partnership interest in the OP.

 

The Company’s principal demand for funds has been for the acquisition of real estate assets, the payment of operating expenses, interest on outstanding indebtedness, the payment of distributions to stockholders, and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as well as development of properties. Substantially all of the proceeds of the completed Offering have been used to fund investments in real properties and other real estate-related assets, for payment of operating expenses, for payment of interest, for payment of various fees and expenses, such as acquisition fees and management fees, and for payment of distributions to stockholders. The Company’s available capital resources, cash and cash equivalents on hand and sources of liquidity are currently limited. The Company expects its future cash needs will be funded using cash from operations, future asset sales, debt financing and the proceeds to the Company from any sale of equity that it may conduct in the future.

 

The Company invests in and manages a portfolio of income-producing retail properties, located in the United States, real estate-owning entities and real estate-related assets, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. The Company has invested directly, and indirectly through joint ventures, in a portfolio of income-producing retail properties located throughout the United States, with a focus on grocery anchored multi-tenant retail centers, including neighborhood, community and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers and free standing single-tenant retail properties. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company invested, through joint ventures, in two significant retail projects under development.

 

As of June 30, 2016, in addition to the development projects, the Company’s portfolio of properties was comprised of 10 properties with approximately 694,000 rentable square feet of retail space located in 6 states. As of June 30, 2016, the rentable space at the Company’s retail properties was 89% leased.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP, their direct and indirect owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of joint ventures that are determined to be variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included.

 

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and variable interest entities based on standards set forth in ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a joint venture or a variable interest entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2016, the Company held ownership interests in two unconsolidated joint ventures. Refer to Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” for additional information. As of June 30, 2016, the Company held variable interests in two variable interest entities and consolidated those entities. Refer to Note 5, “Variable Interest Entities” for additional information.

Properties Under Development

 

The initial cost of properties under development includes the acquisition cost of the property, direct development costs and borrowing costs directly attributable to the development. Borrowing costs associated with direct expenditures on properties under development are capitalized. The amount of capitalized borrowing costs is determined by reference to borrowings specific to the project, where relevant. Borrowing costs are capitalized from the commencement of the development until the date of practical completion where the property is substantially ready for its intended use. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. Practical completion is when the property is capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

 

Interest on projects is based on interest rates in place during the development period, and is capitalized until the project is ready for its intended use. The amount of interest capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2016, was approximately $1.2 million.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period’s presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

As of June 30, 2016, in respect to the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), the Company classified deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, as a contra-liability to notes payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application, wherein the balance sheet of each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the effects of the new guidance. Accordingly, for comparative purposes herein, the Company reclassified the December 31, 2015 balance of $0.3 million of deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, as a contra-liability to notes payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and $0.1 million of deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, as a contra-liability to liabilities held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Assets sold or held for sale and related liabilities have been reclassified on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 on a retrospective basis, effective with the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. ASU 2015-03 is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs and does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 would change the presentation of debt issuance costs as the Company presents debt issuance costs as deferred financing costs, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. ASU 2015-03 does not address how debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements should be presented on the balance sheet or amortized. Given this absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting, which clarifies that the SEC Staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. Effective January 2016, the Company presents deferred financing costs, net, as a contra-liability in periods when there is an associated debt liability on the balance sheet, rather than as a deferred asset. If no associated debt liability is recorded on the balance sheet, deferred financing costs will be presented as a deferred asset. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company adopted ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustment (“ASU 2015-16”) effective with the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Further, the acquirer is required to record, in the financial statements for the same period, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Entities must also present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by the line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This guidance should be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) which could have potential impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU no. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset, measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Adjustments resulting from adopting ASU 2016-13 shall be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which effectively defers the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies may apply either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this guidance. In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-09 and ASU No. 2016-12, which provide interpretive clarifications on the new guidance in Topic 606. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods and the impact of the guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

3. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

 

Acquisition of Properties

 

On June 14, 2016, the Company, through an indirect subsidiary, purchased a 100% ownership interest in two retail properties located in San Francisco, California (the “San Francisco Properties”) from each of Octavia Gateway Holdings, LLC and Grove Street Hayes Valley, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company and each a subsidiary of DDG Partners LLC. The sellers were not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. The San Francisco Properties encompass four retail condominiums with an aggregate of 5,640 square feet of retail space. The aggregate purchase price of the San Francisco Properties was approximately $5.6 million subject to customary closing costs and proration adjustments. The Company funded the purchase price using borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility (“KeyBank credit facility”). Refer to Note 8. “Notes Payable, Net” for details.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of the San Francisco Properties, on May 4, 2016, the Company, through an indirect subsidiary, entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a retail property from Hayes Street Hayes Valley LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of DDG Partners LLC. The seller was not affiliated with the Company or its external advisor. The purchase of this retail property is expected to close later in 2016.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities as of the acquisition date (amounts in thousands):

 

Property  Buildings and
Improvements
   Land   Lease Intangibles   Below-Market
Lease Liabilities
   Estimated Fair
Value of Net
Assets Acquired
 
8 Octavia  $1,969   $734   $143   $(106)  $2,740 
400 Grove   2,111    1,000    110    (331)   2,890 
   $4,080   $1,734   $253   $(437)  $5,630 

 

The initial accounting for the business combinations is incomplete with respect to the values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as the Company did not have sufficient time to finalize these respective valuations and, accordingly, amounts are subject to change within the purchase price allocation period. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of purchase consideration as soon as practicable and no later than one year from the acquisition date.

 

Lease intangibles and below-market lease liabilities generally relate to commercial leases. As of June 30, 2016, the remaining weighted-average amortization period of lease intangibles and below-market lease liabilities was 14.0 years and 14.2 years, respectively.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs in connection with the acquisition of the San Francisco Properties. These costs are included in transaction expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

2016 Sale of Properties

 

On April 4, 2016, the Company consummated the disposition of Bloomingdale Hills, located in Riverside, Florida, for a sales price of approximately $9.2 million in cash, a portion of which was used to pay off the related $5.3 million mortgage loan and $3 million of which was used to pay down the line of credit under its KeyBank credit facility. The sale of the property did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and its results of operations were not reported as discontinued operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The disposition of Bloomingdale Hills resulted in a gain of $0.6 million, which was included on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations include net operating income of approximately $25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and a net operating loss of $73,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, relating to the results of operations of Bloomingdale Hills. Results of operations of Bloomingdale Hills for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, were not material.

2015 Sale of Properties

 

On March 11, 2015, the Company sold the following three properties for the aggregate gross sales price of $53.6 million (amounts in thousands):

 

Property  Location  Acquisition Date  Gross
Sales Price
   Original
Purchase Price (1)
 
Osceola Village  Kissimmee, Florida  10/11/2011  $22,000   $21,800(2)
Constitution Trail  Normal, Illinois  10/21/2011   23,100    18,000 
Aurora Commons  Aurora, Ohio  3/20/2012   8,500    7,000 
    Total        $53,600   $46,800 

  

(1)The original purchase price amounts do not include acquisition fees.

 

(2)The original purchase price for Osceola Village included an additional pad which was sold for approximately $0.9 million prior to this transaction.

 

The sale of the three properties did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and, as a result, was not included in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations include net operating losses of approximately $16,000 and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, relating to the results of operations for the three sold properties.

 

The sale of Osceola Village, Constitution Trail and Aurora Commons (the “SGO Properties”) was completed in connection with the formation of the SGO Joint Venture. The three properties were sold to the SGO Joint Venture, and the closing of the sale was conditioned on the Company receiving a 19% membership interest in the SGO Joint Venture. In exchange for this 19% membership interest, the Company contributed $4.5 million to the SGO Joint Venture, which amount was credited against the Company’s proceeds from the sale of the three properties to the SGO Joint Venture. Of the net sales proceeds from the sale of the aforementioned properties, $36.4 million was used by the Company to retire the debt associated with the sold properties. Since the sale of the SGO Properties does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, their results of operations were not reported as discontinued operations on the Company’s financial statements.

 

4. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, formed a joint venture (the “SGO MN Joint Venture”) with MN Retail Grand Avenue Partners, LLC, a subsidiary of Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund V.I. L.P. (“Oaktree”) and GLB SGO MN, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glenborough Property Partners, LLC (“GPP”). GPP is an affiliate of the Advisor and the Company’s property manager. On March 11, 2015, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, formed a joint venture (the “SGO Joint Venture”) with Grocery Retail Grand Avenue Partners, LLC, a subsidiary of Oaktree, and GLB SGO, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GPP. These joint ventures own property types similar to properties that are directly owned by the Company.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

 

      Ownership Interest   Investment

Total               $6,469   $6,902 

 

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of investments in the joint ventures as set forth in the table above. The joint ventures typically fund their cash needs through secured debt financings obtained by and in the name of the joint venture entity. The joint ventures’ debts are secured by a first mortgage, are without recourse to the joint venture members, and do not represent a liability of the members other than carve-out guarantees for certain matters such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has provided carve-out guarantees in connection with the two aforementioned unconsolidated joint ventures; in connection with those carve-out guarantees, the Company has certain rights of recovery from the joint venture members.

 

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

 

The Company has variable interests in, and is the primary beneficiary of, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) through its investments in (i) a joint venture with the Gelson’s Joint Venture and the Wilshire Joint Venture (both as defined below).

6. FUTURE MINIMUM RENTAL INCOME

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2016, the leases at the Company’s properties have remaining terms (excluding options to extend) of up to 20 years with a weighted-average remaining term (excluding options to extend) of 5 years. The leases may have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires security deposits from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled approximately $0.2 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2016, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases, excluding properties held for sale, was as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Remainder of 2016  $3,711

In connection with the Company’s investment in the Gelson’s Joint Venture (as defined in Note 5. “Variable Interest Entities” to be condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and the acquisition of the Gelson’s Property (defined in Note 5. “Variable Interest Entities” to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), the Company has consolidated borrowings of $10.7 million (the “Gelson’s Loan”) from Buchanan Mortgage Holdings, LLC (as the lender) and Sunset and Gardner Investors, LLC (as the borrower).

The loan is secured by, among other things, a lien on the Gelson’s development project and other joint venture collateral as defined in the loan agreement.

 

9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

 

Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair value using the following hierarchy:

 

·Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
   
·Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

15 

 

 

STRATEGIC REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)

 

·Level 3 - prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available for inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company believes the total carrying values reflected on its condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and amounts due to affiliates reasonably approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

 

The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated using a present value technique based on contractual cash flows and management’s observations of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. The Company significantly reduces the amount of judgment and subjectivity in its fair value determination through the use of cash flow inputs that are based on contractual obligations. Discount rates are determined by observing interest rates published by independent market participants for comparable instruments. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs.

 

The following table provides the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s notes payable related to continuing operations as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

 

   Carrying Value (1)   Fair Value (2) 
   June 30, 2016   December 31, 2015   June 30, 2016   December 31, 2015 
Notes Payable  $63,071   $34,052   $64,317   $34,760 

 

(1)The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable represents the outstanding principal as of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015. The carrying values and fair values of the notes payable include the reclassification of deferred financing costs, net, of approximately $0.7 million and approximately $0.3 million, as a contra-liability, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

(2)The estimated fair value of the notes payable is based upon the indicative market prices of the Company’s notes payable based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

10. EQUITY

 

Share Redemption Program

 

On April 1, 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved the reinstatement of the share redemption program (which had been suspended since January 15, 2013) and adopted an Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Amended and Restated SRP”). Under the Amended and Restated SRP, only shares submitted for repurchase in connection with the death or “qualifying disability” (as defined in the Amended and Restated SRP) of a stockholder are eligible for repurchase by the Company. The number of shares to be redeemed is limited to the lesser of (i) a total of $2.0 million for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death and a total of $1.0 million for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s qualifying disability, and (ii) 5% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year. Share repurchases pursuant to the share redemption program are made at the sole discretion of the Company. The Company reserves the right to reject any redemption request for any reason or no reason or to amend or terminate the share redemption program at any time subject to the notice requirements in the Amended and Restated SRP.

 

The redemption price for shares that are redeemed is 100% of the Company’s most recent estimated net asset value per share as of the applicable redemption date. A redemption request must be made within one year after the stockholder’s death or disability, unless such death or disability occurred between January 15, 2013 and April 1, 2015, when the share redemption program was suspended. Redemption requests due to the death or disability of a Company stockholder that occurred during such time period, must be submitted within one year after the adoption of the Amended and Restated SRP.

 

The Amended and Restated SRP provides that any request to redeem less than $5,000 worth of shares will be treated as a request to redeem all of the stockholder’s shares. If the Company cannot honor all redemption requests received in a given quarter, all requests, including death and disability redemptions, will be honored on a pro rata basis. If the Company does not completely satisfy a redemption request in one quarter, it will treat the unsatisfied portion as a request for redemption in the next quarter when funds are available for redemption, unless the request is withdrawn. The Company may increase or decrease the amount of funding available for redemptions under the Amended and Restated SRP on ten business days’ notice to stockholders. Shares submitted for redemption during any quarter will be redeemed on the penultimate business day of such quarter. The record date for quarterly distributions has historically been and is expected to continue to be the last business day of each quarter; therefore, shares that are redeemed during any quarter are expected to be redeemed prior to the record date and thus would not be eligible to receive the distribution declared for such quarter.

 

The other material terms of the Amended and Restated SRP are consistent with the terms of the share redemption program that was in effect immediately prior to January 15, 2013.

On August 7, 2015, the board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated SRP (the “Second Amended and Restated SRP” and, together with the Amended and Restated SRP, the “SRP”). Under the Second Amended and Restated SRP, the redemption date with respect to third quarter 2015 redemptions was November 10, 2015 or the next practicable date as the Chief Executive Officer determined so that redemptions with respect to the third quarter of 2015 were delayed until after the payment date for the Special Distribution. With this revision, stockholders who were to have 100% of their shares redeemed were not left holding a small number of shares from the Special Distribution after the date of the redemption of their shares. The other material terms of the Second Amended and Restated SRP are consistent with the terms of the Amended and Restated SRP.  

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company redeemed 8,147 shares and 38,868 shares of common stock, respectively, for $54,000 and for approximately $0.3 million under the SRP. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company redeemed 77,916 shares of common stock for approximately $0.6 million. Cumulatively, through June 30, 2016, the Company has redeemed 404,771 shares sold in its initial public offering for $3.3 million.

 

Quarterly Distributions

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to its stockholders. Some or all of the Company’s distributions have been paid, and in the future may continue to be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.

 

Under the terms of the Key Bank credit facility, the Company may pay distributions to its investors so long as the total amount paid does not exceed 100% of the cumulative Adjusted Funds From Operations provided, however, that the Company is not restricted from making any distributions necessary in order to maintain its status as a REIT. The Company’s board of directors evaluates the Company’s ability to make quarterly distributions based on the Company’s operational cash needs.

 

The following tables set forth the quarterly distributions declared to the Company’s common stockholders and Common Unit holders for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015. Distributions to its common stockholders and common unit holders for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were declared subsequent to June 30, 2016, as described in Note 14. “Subsequent Events” (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The effect of non-vested shares, if dilutive, is computed using the treasury stock method. The Company applies the two-class method for determining EPS as its outstanding shares of non-vested restricted stock are considered participating securities as dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest. There is no unvested stock as of June 30, 2016. The Company’s excess of distributions over earnings related to participating securities are shown as a reduction in income (loss) attributable to common stockholders in the Company’s computation of EPS.

Acquisition Fee

 

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive an acquisition fee equal to 1% of (1) the cost of each investment acquired directly by the Company or (2) the Company’s allocable cost of an investment acquired pursuant to a joint venture, in each case including purchase price, acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. An acquisition fee is capitalized by the Company when the related transaction does not qualify as a business combination; otherwise an acquisition fee is expensed.

 

Origination Fee

 

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive an origination fee equal to 1% of the amount funded by the Company to acquire or originate real estate-related loans, including any acquisition expenses related to such investment and any debt used to fund the acquisition or origination of the real estate-related loans. The Company will not pay an origination fee to the Advisor with respect to any transaction pursuant to which it is required to pay the Advisor an acquisition fee.

 

Financing Coordination Fee

 

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive a financing coordination fee equal to 1% of the amount made available and/or outstanding under any (1) financing obtained or assumed, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the OP and used to acquire or originate investments; or (2) the refinancing of any financing obtained or assumed, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the OP.

 

Asset Management Fee

 

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive an asset management fee equal to a monthly fee of one-twelfth (1/12th) of 0.6% of the higher of (1) aggregate cost on a GAAP basis (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of all investments the Company owns, including any debt attributable to such investments; or (2) the fair market value of the Company’s investments (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) if the board of directors has authorized the estimate of a fair market value of the Company’s investments; provided, however, that the asset management fee will not be less than $250,000 in the aggregate during any one calendar year.

 

Reimbursement of Operating Expenses

 

The Company reimburses the Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s total operating expenses (including the asset management fee described below) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeded the greater of (1) 2% of its average invested assets (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”)); or (2) 25% of its net income (as defined in the Charter) determined without reduction for any additions to depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash expenses and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company’s assets for that period (the “2%/25% Guideline”). The Advisor is required to reimburse the Company quarterly for any amounts by which total operating expenses exceed the 2%/25% Guideline in the previous expense year that the independent directors do not approve. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any of its personnel costs or other overhead costs except for customary reimbursements for personnel costs under property management agreements entered into between the OP and the Advisor or its affiliates. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of the 2%/25% Guideline if a majority of the independent directors determine that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s total operating expenses (as defined in the Charter) did not exceed the 2%/25% Guideline.

 

Property Management Fee

 

Under the property management agreements between the Company and Glenborough, Glenborough is entitled to receive property management fees calculated at a maximum of up to 4% of the properties’ gross revenue. The property management agreements with Glenborough have been renewed for an additional twelve months, beginning on August 10, 2016.

 

Disposition Fee

 

Under the Advisory Agreement, if the Advisor or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Company’s independent directors, in connection with the sale of a real property, the Advisor or its affiliates may be paid disposition fees up to 50% of a customary and competitive real estate commission, but not to exceed 3% of the contract sales price of each property sold.

 

Guaranty Fees

 

In connection with certain acquisition financings, the Company’s former chairman and former co-chief executive officer and/or Thompson National Properties, LLC had executed certain guaranty agreements to the respective lenders. As consideration for such guaranty, the Company entered into a reimbursement and fee agreement to provide for an upfront payment and an annual guaranty fee payment for the duration of the guarantee period. In March 2015, the Company retired the outstanding notes payable related to Osceola Village resulting in the expiration of the remaining guaranty agreement.

The unconsolidated joint ventures are party to certain agreements with Glenborough for services related to the investment of funds and management of the joint ventures’ investments, as well as the day-to-day management, operation and maintenance of the properties owned by the joint ventures. The joint ventures pay fees to Glenborough for these services. The SGO Joint Venture and the SGO MN Joint Venture recognized related-party fees and reimbursements of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The related-party amounts consist of property management, asset management, leasing commission, legal leasing, construction management fees and salary reimbursements.

 

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Economic Dependency

 

The Company is dependent on the Advisor and its affiliates for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of real estate and real estate-related investments, management of the daily operations of the Company’s real estate and real estate-related investment portfolio, and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that the Advisor is unable to provide such services to the Company, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

 

Environmental

 

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.

 

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Second Quarter Distribution

 

On July 6, 2016, the Company declared a second quarter distribution in the amount of $0.06 per share/unit to common stockholders and holders of common units of record as of July 7, 2016, totaling approximately $0.7 million. The distribution was paid on July 29, 2016.

 

Acquisitions

 

On July 25, 2016, the Company drew $4.7 million under the KeyBank credit facility to fund the acquisition of a retail property located in San Francisco, California (the “Fulton Street Shops”). The acquisition of the Fulton Street Shops closed on July 27, 2016. The seller is not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. The Fulton Street Shops is comprised of five high-quality street retail condominiums with an aggregate of 3,759 square feet of retail space. The aggregate purchase price of the Fulton Street Shops was approximately $4.6 million subject to customary closing costs and proration adjustments. The Company is in the process of concluding on its accounting for this acquisition, but anticipates that the purchase price of this acquisition will be allocated to land, building and other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, and that the fair value of the acquired net assets will approximate the fair value of the consideration transferred.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the other unaudited financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 30, 2016, which we refer to herein as our “2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.” As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Company” refer to Strategic Realty Trust, Inc., formerly TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., and, as required by context, Strategic Realty Operating Partnership, L.P., formerly TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as our “operating partnership” or “OP”, and to their respective subsidiaries. References to “shares” and “our common stock” refer to the shares of our common stock.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

 

The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs, which involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

 

·Our executive officers and certain other key real estate professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and conflicts in allocating time among us and other programs and business activities.

 

·Our initial public offering has terminated and we are uncertain of our sources for funding our future capital needs. If we cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to continue to acquire real properties or other real estate-related assets, fund or expand our operations and pay distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected.

 

·We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet our financial obligations, including debt service and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

·Our current and future investments in real estate and other real estate-related investments may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. Revenues from our properties could decrease. Such events would make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

·Certain of our debt obligations have variable interest rates with interest and related payments that vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indices. Increases in these indices could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

 

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included herein could be inaccurate, and undue reliance should not be placed upon on any forward-looking statements included herein. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed herein will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the risks described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved.

Overview

 

We are a Maryland corporation that was formed on September 18, 2008 to invest in and manage a portfolio of income-producing retail properties, located in the United States, real estate-owning entities and real estate-related assets, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. During the first quarter of 2016, we also invested, through joint ventures, in two significant retail projects under development. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009, and we intend to operate in such a manner. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. We also own a majority of the outstanding limited partner interests in the operating partnership.

 

Since our inception, our business has been managed by an external advisor. We no longer have direct employees and all management and administrative personnel responsible for conducting our business are employed by our advisor. Currently we are externally managed and advised by SRT Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”) pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) initially executed on August 10, 2013, and subsequently renewed in August 2014, August 2015 and August 2016. The current term of the Advisory Agreement terminates on August 10, 2017. The Advisor is an affiliate of Glenborough, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Glenborough”), a privately held full-service real estate investment and management company focused on the acquisition, management and leasing of commercial properties.

 

Property Portfolio

 

As of June 30, 2016, our property portfolio included 10 retail properties, which we refer to as “our properties” or “our portfolio,” comprising an aggregate of 693,648 square feet of single- and multi-tenant, commercial retail space located in 6 states. We purchased our properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $93.3 million. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was approximately $34.1 million and approximately $39.8 million of indebtedness on our properties, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately 89% and 90% of our portfolio was leased (based on rentable square footage), respectively, with weighted-average remaining lease terms of approximately 5 years as of both period ends.

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of those expected in future periods.

 

Revenue

 

The decrease in revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily due to the sale of Northgate Plaza, Moreno Marketplace and Summit Point in October 2015 and Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016.

 

The decrease in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily due to the sale of Aurora Commons, Constitution Trail, and Osceola Village in March 2015, Northgate Plaza, Moreno Marketplace and Summit Point in October 2015 and Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016. The sale of the three properties in March 2015 was completed in connection with the formation of the SGO Joint Venture (as described in Note 4. “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Operating and maintenance expenses

 

The decrease in operating and maintenance expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily due to the sale of Northgate Plaza, Moreno Marketplace and Summit Point in October 2015 and Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016.

 

The decrease in operating and maintenance expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily attributed to the sale of Aurora Commons, Constitution Trail, and Osceola Village in March 2015, the sales of Northgate Plaza, Moreno Marketplace and Summit Point in October 2015 and the sale of Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to lower legal expenses of approximately $0.2 million with the resolution of the class action lawsuit in 2015.

 

The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses of $0.3 million with the resolution of the class action lawsuit in 2015 as well as lower asset management fees in 2016 due to the sale of Aurora Commons, Constitution Trail, and Osceola Village in March 2015, the sales of Northgate Plaza, Moreno Marketplace and Summit Point in October 2015, and the sale of Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses

 

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015 was attributed to the sales of Northgate Plaza, Moreno Marketplace and Summit Point in October 2015 and the sale of Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016.

Transaction expense

 

The increase in transaction expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015 is primarily due to our acquisition fees for our investments in 400 Grove and 8 Octavia. Refer to Note 3. “Real Estate Investments” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest expense

 

The decrease in interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to loan pay-offs using the proceeds from the sales of the sales of Northgate Plaza, Moreno Marketplace and Summit Point in October 2015, and the sale of Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016.

Other income (loss), net

 

Other loss, net for the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily consisted of approximately $1.0 million related to prepayment penalties on extinguishment of debt as well as the write-off of unamortized loan fees related to the sale of Bloomingdale Hills in April 2016. This was partially offset by the gain on sale of Bloomingdale Hills of approximately $0.6 million as well as the equity in income resulting from our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily consisted of the equity in income resulting from our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Income taxes

 

We have elected to treat one of our subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). In general, a TRS may engage in any real estate business and certain non-real estate businesses, subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, income tax provision primarily includes income taxes on our share of the gain from the sale of certain SGO MN Joint Venture properties. This is partially offset by the reversal of an over accrual of estimated alternative minimum state/federal taxes, which was accrued and included in expenses as of December 31, 2015. The over accrual was determined as a result of finalizing in 2016 the calculation of taxes owed for 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, our principal demand for funds has been for the acquisition of real estate, the payment of operating expenses and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, the payment of distributions to our stockholders and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and development properties. On February 7, 2013, we ceased offering shares of our common stock in our primary offering and under our distribution reinvestment plan. As a result of the termination of our initial public offering, offering proceeds from the sale of our securities are not currently available to fund our cash needs. We have used and expect to continue to use debt financing, net sales proceeds and cash flow from operations to fund our cash needs.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we utilized the net proceeds from the fourth quarter 2015 disposition of our properties (remaining after paydown of debt) to invest in the Gelson’s Joint Venture and the Wilshire Joint Venture.

 

As of June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $3.3 million and our restricted cash (funds held by the lenders for property taxes, insurance, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capital expenditures, rollover reserves and other financing needs) was approximately $5.9 million. For properties with such lender reserves, we may draw upon such reserves to fund the specific needs for which the funds were established.

 

Our aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, are reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. Under our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as amended, which we refer to as our “charter,” we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. Net assets for purposes of this calculation is defined to be our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities. The preceding calculation is generally expected to approximate 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets before non-cash reserves and depreciation. However, we may temporarily borrow in excess of these amounts if such excess is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with an explanation for such excess. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our borrowings were approximately 124.0% and 65.3%, respectively, of the carrying value of our net assets. 

 

The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, selected items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (amounts in thousands):

 

   Six Months Ended June 30,     
   2016   2015   $ Change 
Net cash provided by (used in):               
   Operating activities  $844   $(173)  $1,017 
   Investing activities   (27,846)   41,609    (69,455)
   Financing activities   21,474    (41,066)   62,540 
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents  $(5,528)  $370      

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

The increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to larger net deposits to restricted cash in 2015 as compared to 2016.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

The change in cash flows from investing activities was primarily due to our investments in the Wilshire and Gelson’s Joint Ventures during the first quarter of 2016, consisting of land and building under development and development costs, of approximately $28.5 million, as well as our acquisition of 400 Grove and 8 Octavia during the three months ended June 30, 2016, which consisted of land and buildings, totaling $5.6 million. Additionally, cash flows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of proceeds of $53.1 million, before the pay down of debt, from the sale of Aurora Commons, Constitution Trail and Osceola Village.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

The change in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to loan proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2016, of approximately $32.7 million in connection with our investments in the Wilshire and Gelson’s Joint Ventures and an additional draw under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility (“Key Bank credit facility”), compared to the pay down of debt in the amount of $37.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulting from the sales of Aurora Commons, Constitution Trail and Osceola Village.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal short-term demand for funds is for the payment of operating expenses, the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, and distributions. To date, our cash needs for operations have been covered from cash provided by property operations, the sales of properties and the sale of shares of our common stock. Due to the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013, we may fund our short-term operating cash needs from operations, from the sales of properties and from debt.

 

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On a long-term basis, our principal demand for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, distributions to stockholders, future redemptions of shares and interest and principal payments on current and future indebtedness. Generally, we intend to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses from our cash flow from operations, debt and sales of properties. Until the termination of our initial public offering on February 7, 2013, our cash needs for acquisitions were satisfied from the net proceeds of the public offering and from debt financings. On a long-term basis, we expect that substantially all cash generated from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after satisfying our operating expenses including interest and principal payments. We may consider future public offerings or private placements of equity. Refer to Note 8. “Notes Payable, Net” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the maturity dates and terms of our outstanding indebtedness.

 

Recent Financing Transactions

 

KeyBank Credit Facility

 

On March 7, 2016, we drew $6.0 million under the Key Bank credit facility and used the proceeds to invest in the Wilshire Joint Venture.

 

On June 9, 2016, we drew approximately $7.5 million under the Key Bank credit facility, the majority of which was used to fund the purchase of the San Francisco properties. Refer to Note 3. “Real Estate Investments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

 

Mortgage Loans Secured by Properties Under Development

 

In connection with our investment in the Gelson’s Joint Venture and the acquisition of the Gelson’s Property, we have consolidated borrowings of $10.7 million (the “Gelson’s Loan”) from Buchanan Mortgage Holdings, LLC (as the lender) and Sunset and Gardner Investors, LLC (as the borrower). The Gelson’s Loan bears interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum, payable monthly commencing on April 1, 2016. The loan matures on January 27, 2017, with an option to extend for an additional six-month period, subject to certain conditions as stated in the loan agreement. The loan is secured by, among other things, a lien on the Gelson’s development project and other collateral as defined in the loan agreement.

 

In connection with our investment in the Wilshire Joint Venture and the acquisition of the Wilshire Property, we have consolidated borrowings of $8.5 million (the “Wilshire Loan”) from Buchanan Mortgage Holdings, LLC (as the lender) and 3032 Wilshire Investors, LLC (as the borrower). The Wilshire Loan bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, payable monthly commencing on April 1, 2016. The loan matures on March 7, 2017, with an option for an additional six-month period, subject to certain conditions as stated in the loan agreement. The loan is secured by, among other things, a lien on the Wilshire development project and other collateral as defined in the loan agreement.

 

Interim Financial Information

 

The financial information as of and for the period ended June 30, 2016, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; and such results may be less favorable. Our accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Guidelines on Total Operating Expenses

 

We reimburse our Advisor for some expenses paid or incurred by our Advisor in connection with the services provided to us, except that we will not reimburse our Advisor for any amount by which our total operating expenses at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceed the greater of (1) 2% of our average invested assets, as defined in our charter; and (2) 25% of our net income, as defined in our charter, or the “2%/25% Guidelines” unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our total operating expenses did not exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.

 

26 

 

 

Inflation

 

The majority of our leases at our properties contain inflation protection provisions applicable to reimbursement billings for common area maintenance charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per square foot allowance. We expect to include similar provisions in our future tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases, as well as rents received from acquired leases, may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market rates.

 

REIT Compliance

 

To qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we are required to annually distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our stockholders. We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which our REIT qualification is lost unless the IRS grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. In 2015, we made a special distribution to stockholders to preserve our REIT status based on underreporting of federal taxable income in 2011 (the “Special Distribution”).

 

Quarterly Distributions

 

As set forth above, in order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our stockholders.

 

Under the terms of the Key Bank credit facility, we may pay distributions to our stockholders so long as the total amount paid does not exceed certain thresholds specified in the Key Bank credit facility provided, however, that we are not restricted from making any distributions necessary in order to maintain our status as a REIT. Our board of directors will continue to evaluate the amount of future quarterly distributions based on our operational cash needs.

Some or all of our distributions have been paid, and in the future may continue to be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.

 

The following tables set forth the quarterly distributions declared to our common stockholders and common unit holders for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015. Distributions to our common stockholders and common unit holders for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were declared subsequent to June 30, 2016 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts).

Funds From Operations

 

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of a real estate company’s operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or “NAREIT”, an industry trade group, has promulgated this supplemental performance measure and defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and excluding extraordinary items and gains and losses on the sale of real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures (adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO.) It is important to note that not only is FFO not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, it also does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.  FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, nor is FFO necessarily indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to fund cash needs, including the payment of distributions.

 

27 

 

 

We consider FFO to be a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance and one that is an appropriate supplemental disclosure for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

 

Our calculation of FFO attributable to common shares and Common Units and the reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO is as follows (amounts in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

 

   For the Three Months   For the Six Months 
   Ended June 30,   Ended June 30, 
FFO  2016   2015   2016   2015 
Net income (loss) (1)  $(946)  $(434)  $(1,011)  $2,688 
Adjustments (2):                    
  Net income related to membership interest       (150)       (243)
   Gain (loss) on disposal of assets   (605)   84    (614)   (4,601)
   Adjustment to reflect FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures   (28)   125    176    143 
   Depreciation of real estate   638    819    1,282    2,164 
   Amortization of in-place leases and other intangibles   213    316    439    820 
FFO attributable to common shares and Common Units  $(728)  $760   $272   $971 
                     
FFO per share/Common Unit  $(0.06)  $0.07   $0.02   $0.09 
                     
Weighted average common shares/units outstanding   11,438,859    11,399,813    11,477,703    11,400,665 

 

(1)Our Common Units have the right to convert a unit into common stock for a one-to-one conversion. Therefore, we are including the related non-controlling interest income/loss attributable to Common Units in the computation of FFO and including the Common Units together with weighted average shares outstanding for the computation of FFO per share and Common Unit.

 

(2)Where applicable, adjustments exclude amounts attributable to membership interest.

 

Related Party Transactions and Agreements

 

We are currently party to the Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which the Advisor manages our business in exchange for specified fees paid for services related to the investment of funds in real estate and real estate-related investments, management of our investments and for other services. Refer to Note 12. “Related Party Transactions” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Advisory Agreement and other related party transactions, agreements and fees.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of our investments in joint ventures and are described in Note 4. “Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our joint ventures typically fund their cash needs through secured debt financings obtained by and in the name of the joint venture entity. The joint ventures’ debts are secured by a first mortgage, are without recourse to the joint venture partners, and do not represent a liability of the partners other than carve-out guarantees for certain matters such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations. As of June 30, 2016, we have provided carve-out guarantees in connection with our two unconsolidated joint ventures; in connection with those carve-out guarantees we have certain rights of recovery from our joint venture partners.

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Subsequent Events

 

Second Quarter Distributions

 

On July 6, 2016, we declared a second quarter distribution in the amount of $0.06 per share/unit to common stockholders and holders of common units of record as of July 7, 2016, totaling approximately $0.7 million. The distribution was paid on July 29, 2016.

 

Acquisitions

 

On July 25, 2016, we drew $4.7 million under the KeyBank credit facility to fund the acquisition of a retail property located in San Francisco, California (the “Fulton Street Shops”). The acquisition of the Fulton Street Shops closed on July 27, 2016. The seller is not affiliated with us or the Advisor. The Fulton Street Shops is comprised of five high-quality street retail condominiums with an aggregate of 3,759 square feet of retail space. The aggregate purchase price of the Fulton Street Shops was approximately $4.6 million subject to customary closing costs and proration adjustments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we did not issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Share Redemption Program

 

On April 1, 2015, our board of directors approved the reinstatement of the share redemption program (which had been suspended since January 15, 2013) and adopted an Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Amended and Restated SRP”). Under the Amended and Restated SRP, only shares submitted for repurchase in connection with the death or “qualifying disability” (as defined in the Amended and Restated SRP) of a stockholder are eligible for repurchase by us. The number of shares to be redeemed is limited to the lesser of (i) a total of $2.0 million for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death and a total of $1.0 million for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s qualifying disability, and (ii) 5% of the weighted average of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the prior calendar year. Share repurchases pursuant to the share redemption program are made at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to reject any redemption request for any reason or no reason or to amend or terminate the share redemption program at any time subject to the notice requirements in the Amended and Restated SRP.

 

The redemption price for shares that are redeemed is 100% of our most recent estimated net asset value per share as of the applicable redemption date. A redemption request must be made within one year after the stockholder’s death or disability, unless such death or disability occurred between January 15, 2013 and April 1, 2015, when the share redemption program was suspended. Redemption requests due to the death or disability of a Company stockholder, that occurred during such time period, must be submitted within one year after the adoption of the Amended and Restated SRP.

 

The Amended and Restated SRP provides that any request to redeem less than $5,000 worth of shares will be treated as a request to redeem all of the stockholder’s shares. If we cannot honor all redemption requests received in a given quarter, all requests, including death and disability redemptions, will be honored on a pro rata basis. If we do not completely satisfy a redemption request in one quarter, we will treat the unsatisfied portion as a request for redemption in the next quarter when funds are available for redemption, unless the request is withdrawn. We may increase or decrease the amount of funding available for redemptions under the Amended and Restated SRP on ten business days’ notice to stockholders. Shares submitted for redemption during any quarter will be redeemed on the penultimate business day of such quarter. The record date for quarterly distributions has historically been and is expected to continue to be the last business day of each quarter; therefore, shares that are redeemed during any quarter are expected to be redeemed prior to the record date and thus would not be eligible to receive the distribution declared for such quarter.

 

The other material terms of the Amended and Restated SRP are consistent with the terms of the share redemption program that was in effect immediately prior to January 15, 2013.

 

On August 7, 2015, our board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated SRP (the “Second Amended and Restated SRP” and, together with the Amended and Restated SRP, the “SRP”). Under the Second Amended and Restated SRP, the redemption date with respect to third quarter 2015 redemptions was November 10, 2015 or the next practicable date as our Chief Executive Officer determined so that redemptions with respect to the third quarter of 2015 were delayed until after the payment date for the Special Distribution. With this revision, stockholders who were to have 100% of their shares redeemed were not left holding a small number of shares from the Special Distribution after the date of the redemption of their shares. The other material terms of the Second Amended and Restated SRP are consistent with the terms of the Amended and Restated SRP.
