Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) has acquired 28 properties in separate transactions since December 31, 2013, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $331.0 million, with an additional four properties probable of acquisition for approximately $38.0 million. Under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, these completed and probable property acquisitions are individually insignificant, but, in the aggregate, are significant. In certain circumstances, Regulation S-X requires the presentation of audited statements of revenues and certain operating expenses for a majority of the individually insignificant properties acquired since the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal year or probable of acquisition when these properties are significant in the aggregate. As a result, the Company is presenting statements of revenues and certain operating expenses for the properties purchased from various entities affiliated with Mini Price Storage (which represent a majority of all properties acquired or probable of acquisition, based on purchase price, subsequent to December 31, 2013).  The probable acquisitions described above are subject to the completion of due diligence and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, and there can be no assurances that these conditions will be satisfied or that the acquisitions will close on the terms described herein, or at all.

Extra Space Storage Inc.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

 

Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) has acquired, in separate transactions, 28 properties located in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Virginia and Washington for approximately $331.0 million since December 31, 2013.  The acquisition of an additional four properties located in California, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas for a total of approximately $38.0 million is probable.  The probable acquisitions are subject to the completion of due diligence and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, and there can be no assurances that these conditions will be satisfied or that the acquisitions will close on the terms described herein, or at all.

 

Under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, properties acquired since December 31, 2013 and probable of acquisition are individually insignificant, but, in the aggregate, are significant. An audit was performed on a 17-property portfolio from various entities affiliated with Mini Price Storage, an unrelated third party. These 17 properties represent the majority of the individually insignificant acquisitions based on purchase price.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2014 has been derived from (1) the historical unaudited financial statements of the Company as filed in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and (2) the historical statements of revenues and certain operating expenses for the Mini Price Storage portfolio.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 has been derived from (1) the historical audited financial statements of the Company as filed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and (2) the historical audited statements of revenues and certain operating expenses for the Mini Price Storage portfolio.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 did not require adjustments to the Company’s unaudited historical financial data to give effect to the acquisition of the Mini Price Storage portfolio, as the acquisition occurred on January 7, 2014 and therefore was already included in the Company’s historical unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2014.

 

The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflect adjustments to the Company’s historical financial data to give effect to the acquisition of the Mini Price Storage portfolio as if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of each period presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on available information. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s actual financial position or results of operations for the period would have been as of the date and for the periods indicated, nor does it purport to represent the Company’s future financial position or results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read, together with the notes thereto, in conjunction with the more detailed information contained in the historical financial statements referenced in this filing.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the Statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the Statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 1 of the Properties for the year ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

As described in Note 1, the Statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties’ revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses

 

1.        ACQUISITION, ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Acquisition of properties

 

The accompanying statements of revenues and certain operating expenses relate to the operation of 17 properties owned by different entities affiliated with Mini Price Storage (the “Properties”).  The Properties were acquired by Extra Space Storage Inc. (“Extra Space”) on January 7, 2014.  Extra Space did not hold any ownership interests in the Properties prior to the acquisition.  The Properties consist of land and self-storage facilities located in Virginia.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 was prepared for the purpose of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14.  The statement is not representative of the actual operations of the Properties for the year ended December 31, 2013 as certain expenses, which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by the Properties in future operations, have been excluded as discussed below.  The management of the Properties is not aware of any material factors that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

 

Certain operating expenses include real estate taxes and certain other operating expenses related to the operations of the Properties.  Excluded expenses include mortgage interest, depreciation and amortization and certain other costs not directly related to the future operations of the Properties.

 

The statements of revenues and certain operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the revenues and certain operating expenses of the respective periods.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

2.              REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue is principally obtained from tenant rentals under month-to-month operating leases.  The Properties recognize rental revenue daily on a straight line basis over the terms of the leases.  Tenants move in and out throughout the month and revenue is recognized on a pro-rata basis for the days each unit is occupied during the month.  Revenue is recognized for past due tenants until the unit is vacated through either payment or auction.

 

The Properties recognize revenue for merchandise sales as the sales take place.  Revenue for late fees and other miscellaneous items are included in other revenue as they are earned under the terms of the rental contracts.

 

3.              EXPENSE RECOGNITION

 

Property expenses, including utilities, repairs and maintenance and other costs to manage the facilities are recognized as incurred.  Expenses such as real estate taxes and property insurance are recognized

over their respective assessment or coverage periods.  The Properties recognize bad debt expense based upon the Properties’ historical collection experience and current economic trends.

 

4.              USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

5.              COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Properties are not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Properties, other than routine legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by the Properties related to this litigation will not materially affect the operating results of the Properties.
