Explanatory Note.

 

On March 24, 2014, Trade Street Residential, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) to report the acquisition of The Avenues at Craig Ranch (“Craig Ranch”) on March 18, 2014. This amendment is being filed for the sole purpose of filing the financial statements and pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, and should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K. Leasing for Craig Ranch commenced in July 2013. Physical occupancy at the property has increased each month since leasing commenced and, at the time of the Company’s acquisition of Craig Ranch, the property had a physical occupancy of 65.0% and was 73.4% leased. The Company expects that the revenues for Craig Ranch for the third quarter ending September 30, 2014 will significantly improve as a result of continued increases in physical occupancy. As such, the reported financial information may not necessarily be indicative of future revenues.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and other statements that the Company may make, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s expectations with respect to continued increases in occupancy and improvements in operating results. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include the risks detailed under “Risk Factors” contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other documents the Company files with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. For forward-looking statements herein, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events. The Company has no duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this discussion after the date hereof, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this discussion, or elsewhere, might not occur.

Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS

 

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses includes the operations of The Avenues at Craig Ranch (the “Property”), a 334 unit multi-family rental apartment complex contained in 10 three-story apartment buildings, located in McKinney, Texas. This Property was acquired by Trade Street Residential, Inc. on March 18, 2014. The Property began leasing units in July 2013 and was approximately 43% occupied as of December 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is not intended to be a complete presentation of the actual operations of the Property for the applicable period, as certain revenue and expenses which may not be compatible to those that will be realized and incurred in the proposed future operations of the Property have been excluded. Items excluded consist of certain one-time administrative fee revenue related to initial leasing activities. Management is not aware of any material factors related to the Property, other than discussed, that would cause the statement of revenues and certain expenses not to be indicative of future operating results.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances may affect the reported revenues and certain expenses. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Property is leased under operating leases with terms of generally one year or less. Rental revenues from residential leases, which may include periods of free rent and/or scheduled increases of rental rates over the term of the lease, are recognized on the straight-line basis.

 

Under the terms of the residential leases, residents are obliged to reimburse the Property for water and sewer, where the Property is the primary obligor to the local utility. These reimbursements are included in other property income in the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses. The reimbursements for the period ended December 31, 2013 were approximately $3,100.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Property recognized approximately $11,500 of administrative and application fee income related to its initial leasing activities. These amounts are also included in other property income in the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses represent the direct expenses of operating the Property and consist primarily of payroll and benefits, real estate taxes and other operating expenses that are expected to continue in the proposed future operations of the Property.

NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Property is a party to various contracts with third parties for certain services and maintenance. Some of these contracts may span more than one year in duration. The total amount of these commitments has not been determined.

 

The Property is not presently involved in any material litigation, nor, to Management’s knowledge is any material litigation threatened against the Property, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business such as disputes with tenants. The Property believes that the costs and related liabilities, if any, which may result from such actions will not materially affect the Property’s operating results.

 

NOTE 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Property management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through May 20, 2014, the date this interim financial information was available to be issued. Management has determined that there are no subsequent events or transactions to report.
