FIRST HARTFORD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Business and Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Business

 

First Hartford Corporation was incorporated in Maine in 1909 and is engaged in the purchase, development, ownership, management and sale of real estate, all of which is considered a single segment.  The Company has a second segment “Fee for Service” in which the Company is engaged as a preferred developer for CVS. (see Service Income to follow).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Hartford Corporation (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiaries, and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including those where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or meets certain criteria as a sole general partner or managing member in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification.  As such, included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the accounts of Rockland Place Apartments Limited Partnership and Clarendon Hill Somerville Limited Partnership.  The Company’s ownership percentage in these variable interest entity partnerships is nominal.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8.03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments to previously accrued loss provisions) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements for the year then ended.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013.

 

Because the Company is engaged in the development and sale of real estate at various stages of construction, the operating cycle may extend beyond one year.  Accordingly, following the usual practice of the real estate industry, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are unclassified.

 

Currently, there are no Accounting Standards Update (ASUs) that the Company is required to adopt which are likely to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are determined using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts include the weighted average outstanding common shares as well as dilutive common stock options of 157,408 and 157,251 shares for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2013. Common stock options of 104,193 and 75,236 for three and six month periods ended October 31, 2012 were anti-dilutive.

FIRST HARTFORD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Business and Significant Accounting Policies (concluded):

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Value

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and debt.  The fair values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are estimated to approximate their carrying amounts because of their relative short-term nature.  In general, the carrying amount of variable rate debt approximates its fair value.  Further, the carrying amount of fixed rate debt approximates fair value since the interest rates on the debt approximates the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.  Marketable securities consist of equity securities and are stated at fair value based on the last sale of the period obtained from recognized stock exchanges (i.e. Level 1).  Net unrealized gains of $50,033 and $124,519 for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2013 are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Segment Information

 

The factors used by the Company to identify reportable segments include differences in products and services and segregated operations within the Company. The first segment, “Real Estate Operations” participates in the purchase, development, management, ownership and the sale of real estate. Within its second segment, “Fee for Service”, the Company provides preferred developer services to CVS and Cumberland Farms Inc. in certain geographic areas. Summary financial information for the two reportable segments are approximately as follows:

FIRST HARTFORD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.   Restatement

 

The Company has restated its October 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements by adding four joint ventures into its consolidated results.  Upon reanalyzing its agreements, it was determined that the Company was the controlling partner of the ventures which triggers a requirement to consolidate.  The ventures are:

 

(1) Cranston Parkade, LLC which owns a retail shopping center 259,600 sq. ft.

(2) CP Associates, LLC which owns two 60,000 sq. ft commercial buildings plus land leased to a third party.

(3) Hartford Lubbock Limited Partnership which owns a retail shopping center 160,555 sq. ft.

(4) Trolley Barn Associates which owns approximately 7 acres of vacant land.

 

The Company owns 50% of (1), (2) & (4) and 2% of (3), and formerly accounted for them on the equity method. Previously, the investment in Trolley Barn Associates, which is 50% supported by the Company, was not considered material and was not consolidated.  The advances were considered loans.  The Company has determined that Trolley Barn qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) and is consolidated as required.

 

The effects on the Company’s previously issued financial statements are summarized as follows:

Loss on Defeasance

Loss on Defeasance was caused by an early refinancing and repayment of the mortgage on the Plainfield Parkade.  Details of the refinances were included in a form 8-K filed on October 8, 2013.

Gain (Loss) on Derivatives

For the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2013 the Company recorded gains of $209,228 and $934,017 respectively.  Of that amount, 50% was reduced through the non-controlling interest.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiary

Equity in earnings of the unconsolidated subsidiary increased approximately $53,000 on a period over period basis for the six months ended October 31, 2013.  During the same periods the amounts distributed from a 50% owned investee were lower than the prior periods by approximately $125,000. Such distributions are in excess of net assets of the 50% owned investee since its accumulated net losses (including significant amounts for depreciation, amortization and gain or losses from derivatives which are noncash) have exceeded capital contributions.

While the Company has a policy of recording distributions in excess of basis as income, it does not control the rate of distributions of the investee partnership. Cash flow in excess of distribution is held at the partnership level.  Please refer to the financial statements of the Company’s investee partnerships which are included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2013.

Income Taxes

The Company has significant net operating loss carryforwards, so it will likely not be required to pay Federal income taxes in the near term.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
              OPERATIONS (concluded):

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company ended the six month period of October 31, 2013 with approximately $11,295,000 of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. This includes approximately $8,843,000 belonging to partnership entities in which the Company’s financial interests range from .01% (VIEs) to 50%.  Funds received from CVS, which are to be paid out in connection with CVS developments, amounted to approximately $130,000 and tenant security deposits held by VIEs of approximately $421,000 are included in restricted cash and cash equivalents.

The Company believes it has sufficient cash and cash resources to fund operations and debt maturities in the next fiscal year without any new bank borrowings through April 30, 2014. Borrowings for new construction loans or property purchases are unclear at this time.

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15b of the Exchange Act.  Based on the Evaluation, our President and Treasurer concluded that because of weaknesses in our control environment, our disclosure controls were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Notwithstanding weaknesses in our control environment, as of October 31, 2013, we believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report present fairly the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
