NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM STATEMENTS

Description of Business

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

We are a diversified real estate operating company. We own and manage, sometimes utilizing third-party property management companies, forty-six commercial real estate properties in fourteen states in the United States. As of March 31, 2019, we owned forty single-tenant and six multi-tenant income-producing properties with approximately 2.3 million square feet of gross leasable space. We also own and manage a portfolio of undeveloped land totaling approximately 5,400 acres in Daytona Beach, Florida. We own the LPGA International Golf Club, which is managed by a third party and classified as held for sale (the “Club”). We also lease some of our land for eighteen billboards, have agricultural operations that are managed by a third party, which consist of leasing land for hay production and timber harvesting, and own and manage Subsurface Interests (hereinafter defined).

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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

The Company’s implemented ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 and has elected to follow the practical expedients and accounting policies below:

At the beginning of the period of adoption, January 1, 2019, through a cumulative-effect adjustment, the Company increased right-of use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases for which the Company is the lessee. The amount of the adjustment totaled approximately $681,000 and was reflected as an increase in Other Assets and Accrued and Other Liabilities for corporate leases totaling approximately $473,000 and an increase in Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Held for sale for golf operations segment leases totaling approximately $208,000. There were no adjustments related to the leases for which the Company is the lessor.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of March 31, 2019 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled approximately $1.3 million at March 31, 2019 of which approximately $1.1 million is being held in three separate escrow accounts related to three separate land transactions which closed in December 2013, February 2017, and March 2018; and approximately $223,000 is being held in a capital replacement reserve account in connection with our financing of six income properties with Wells Fargo Bank, NA (“Wells Fargo”).

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activity

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

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s credit facility approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The face

value of the Company’s mortgage notes and convertible debt is measured at fair value based on current market rates for financial instruments with similar risks and maturities. See Note 6, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

Fair Value Measurements

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

Impact Fees and Mitigation Credits

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

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable related to income properties, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of tenant reimbursable expenses. Receivables related to tenant reimbursable expenses totaled approximately $1.0 million and $628,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Accounts receivable related to real estate operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, totaled approximately $1.8 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As more fully described in Note 9, “Other Assets,” these accounts receivable are primarily related to the reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs completed by the Company in conjunction with two land sale transactions that closed during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Trade accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables related to the golf operations segment, which are classified in Assets Held for Sale on the consolidated balance sheets. Trade accounts receivable related to golf operations segment, which primarily consist of amounts due from members or from private events, totaled approximately $347,000 and $290,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  

The collectability of the aforementioned receivables is determined based on the aging of the receivable and a review of the specifically identified accounts using judgments. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $217,000 and $185,000, respectively.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease

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

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

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease, including the probability of renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless the Company believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the option whereby the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period.

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

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

Sales of Real Estate

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

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes result primarily from the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. See Note 17, “Income Taxes.” In June 2006, the FASB issued additional guidance, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements included in income taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In accordance with FASB guidance included in income taxes, the Company has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions and believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. Additionally, the Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to the FASB guidance.

 

NOTE 2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company implemented FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue by segment, major good and/or service, and the related timing of revenue recognition for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

NOTE 3. INCOME PROPERTIES

No income properties were acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

One multi-tenant income property, which was classified in Assets Held for Sale as of December 31, 2018, was disposed of during the three months ended March 31, 2019. On February 21, 2019, the Company sold its approximately 59,000 square foot multi-tenant retail property anchored by a Whole Foods Market retail store located in Sarasota, Florida for approximately $24.62 million (the “Whole Foods Sale”). The gain on the Whole Foods Sale totaled approximately $6.9 million, or approximately $0.96 per share, after tax. The Company applied the proceeds from the Whole Foods Sale towards the purchase of the previously-acquired portfolio of eight single-tenant ground leased income properties in Jacksonville, Florida, through a reverse 1031 like-kind exchange structure. The Whole Foods Sale continues the Company’s objective of transitioning the income property portfolio to primarily single-tenant net lease properties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company acquired one single-tenant income property for a purchase price of $28.0 million, or an acquisition cost of approximately $29.0 million including capitalized acquisition costs. Of the total acquisition cost, approximately $12.0 million was allocated to land, approximately $15.0 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, approximately $2.8 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value, leasing fees and above market lease value, and approximately $0.8 million was allocated to intangible liabilities for the below market lease value. The weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets and liabilities was approximately 20.0 years at acquisition.

Four income properties were disposed of during the three months ended March 31, 2018. On March 26, 2018, the Company sold its four self-developed, multi-tenant office properties located in Daytona Beach, Florida, for approximately $11.4 million (the “Self-Developed Properties Sale”). The sale included the 22,012 square-foot Concierge office building, the 30,720 square-foot Mason Commerce Center comprised of two office buildings, and the 15,360 square-foot Williamson Business Park office building. The gain on the sale totaled approximately $3.7 million, or

approximately $0.49 per share, after tax. The Company utilized the proceeds to fund a portion of the previously-acquired income property located near Portland, Oregon, leased to Wells Fargo, through a reverse 1031 like-kind exchange structure. As part of the transaction, the Company entered into a lease of its approximately 7,600 square-foot office space in Williamson Business Park for approximately 5 years at a market rental rate.

 

 

NOTE 4. LAND AND SUBSURFACE INTERESTS
