Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

 

Certain matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements, including without limitation relating to the Company's plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions, capital expenditures, future liquidity, plans and timetables for completion of pending development projects and other transactions. The words or phrases “anticipate,” “estimate,” ”believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The following factors and others discussed in the Company’s periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are among the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: uncertainties as to whether the Company will recognize the benefits of the spin-off of the transportation group; uncertainties as to whether the Company can complete, and the timetable for completion of pending or proposed development projects and other transactions; levels of construction activity in the markets served by our mining properties; risk insurance markets; availability and terms of financing; competition; interest rates, inflation and general economic conditions; demand for flexible warehouse/office facilities in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia area; and ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development. However, this list is not a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties.

 

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof based on management’s current expectations, and the Company does not undertake an obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information regarding these and other risk factors may be found in the Company’s other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Amendment No. 1 Explanatory Note.

 

FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, to restate our previously issued financial statements to correct an error in the classification of corporate overhead expenses for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2014. Refer to Note 2, Restatement, in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information about the revision.

 

As a result of the spin-off of the transportation group on January 31, 2015, the Company has reported the former transportation segment as a discontinued operation without any allocation of corporate overhead. Hence, all corporate overhead of the transportation group through the date of the spin-off is included in corporate expense on the Company’s consolidated income statement.

 

As originally filed, the Company’s Form 10-Q correctly allocated the corporate overhead expense for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2015. The financial statements for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2014, were incorrect, however, in that they did not allocate corporate overhead expense attributable to the transportation group to continuing operations for the full period. Accordingly, income from continuing operations for the three and six month periods of 2014 was overstated by $395,000 and income from discontinued operations was understated by $395,000.

 

The error was a classification error and had no impact on the consolidated results for the periods presented.

 

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 5, 2015, on August 5, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, after considering the recommendations of management, concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements as filed on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2015 should not be relied upon because of the reclassification errors identified therein.

FRP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “FRP”) inclusive of our operating real estate subsidiaries, FRP Development Corp. (“Development”) and Florida Rock Properties, Inc. (”Properties”) subsequent to the completed spin-off (the “Spin-off”) of our transportation assets into a new, publicly traded entity, Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (“Patriot”; stock symbol “PATI”) effective January 30, 2015. As a result of the Spin-off the former transportation segment of the Company is reported as a discontinued operation that cannot receive any corporate overhead allocation. Hence, all corporate overhead of the transportation group through the date of the spin-off is included in “corporate expense” on the Company’s consolidated income statements herein. See Note 4 for a breakdown of corporate expenses showing the amounts per the Company’s segments, the unallocated to any segment and the unallocated to discontinued operations. Reclassifications to the appropriate prior period line items and amounts have been made to be comparable to the current presentation. Our investment in the 50% owned Brooksville Joint Venture and in the Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC are accounted for under the equity method of accounting (See Note 14). These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014.

 

Following the completion of the spin-off of the transportation business on January 30, 2015, management conducted a strategic review of the Company’s real estate operations.  As a result of this review, information that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (its chief executive officer) regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2015, the Company will report its financial performance based on the three reportable segments described below.  Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2015, our financial statements will reflect the new reporting structure with prior periods adjusted accordingly

8 
 

 

Our Mining and Royalties segment stays the same, but based on our strategic review the Developed Property Rentals segment has been broken down into an Asset Management segment and a Land Development and Construction segment to reflect how management now evaluates the real estate activities previously presented in the Developed Property Rentals segment. The Asset Management segment contains all the developed buildings capable of producing current rental income; the Land Development and Construction segments contains the remaining developable land not yet developed to its eventual highest and best use potential where the Company's focus is to add further entitlements, construct vertical improvements or market the property to third parties all in an effort to bring such property to income producing status or realization of its fair market value through sales or exchange. This Land Development and Construction segment is generally in a pre-income production state where objectives are long term capital investment for eventual production of long-term rental streams or capital investment to achieve highest potential market value for sale to third parties.

 

 

(2) Restatement. FRP Holdings, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to restate our previously issued financial statements to reflect the classification of corporate overhead expenses in the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2014. The reclassification consisted of additional corporate expenses that should have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations for the prior year comparative periods. This reclassification was made necessary by the completion of a spin-off during the quarter ending March 31, 2015. The Company’s filings with the SEC prior to the Form 10Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2015 were not affected by this reclassification.

 

The following table sets forth the effects of the restatement on certain line items in our previously reported financial statements (in thousands except per share amounts):

(3) Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, "Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20) Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items." This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Effective first quarter 2015, the Company adopted ASU 2015-01 and will apply the new guidance, as applicable.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which relates to the financial statement presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction of the related debt liability rather than an asset. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted and will only result in a change in presentation of these costs on our balance sheets.

 

 

(4) Business Segments. The Company operates in three reportable business segments (i) Asset Management and (ii) Mining Royalty Land and (iii) Land Development and Construction. The Asset Management segment owns, leases, manages and operates commercial office/warehouse buildings primarily located in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington, DC area. The Mining Royalty Land segment owns real estate predominately in Florida and Georgia that is leased to mining companies in exchange for royalty or land rental income. The Land Development and Construction segment acquires, owns, entitles, and develops land to be used for income production via (i) construction by the Company of warehouse/office uses for our Asset Management segment, or (ii) other commercial, residential or mixed use projects through joint ventures or sales to third parties.

 

Subsequent to the Spin-off, the Company is receiving certain services from Patriot (e.g. executive oversight, accounting, information technology and human resource services) which are billed to the Company on a monthly basis in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement entered into and made effective as of the date of the Spin-off. As was the case prior to the Spin-off, these costs (excluding stock compensation) are included in the Company’s corporate expense and are fully allocated to the business segments. Certain other corporate expenses (primarily stock compensation, corporate aircraft and one-time Spin-off related expenses) are reported as “unallocated” on the Company’s consolidated income statement and are not allocated to any business segment. As a result of the Spin-off the former transportation segment of the Company is reported as a discontinued operation and thus is not allowed any corporate overhead allocation. Hence, all corporate overhead of the transportation group through the date of the Spin-off is included in “corporate expense” on the Company’s consolidated income statements herein. Reclassifications to

11 
 

the appropriate prior period line items and amounts have been made to be comparable to the current presentation.

(5) Related Party Agreements with Patriot. In order to affect the Spin-off and govern our relationship with Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. after the Spin-off, we entered into an Employee Matters Agreement and a Transition Services Agreement. The Employee Matters Agreement generally allocates responsibilities to each company for liabilities relating to each company’s current and former employees and allocated responsibilities under employee benefit plans. The Transition Services Agreement sets forth the terms on which Patriot is providing to FRP certain services that were shared prior to the Spin-off, including the services of certain shared executive officers, for a period of 12 or more months after the Spin-off.

 

The consolidated statements of income reflects charges and/or allocations from Patriot for these services of $643,000 and $890,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and $1,437,000 and $1,497,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in the charges above are amounts recognized for stock-based executive compensation expense. These charges are reflected within corporate expenses on the consolidated statements of income.

 

To determine these allocations between FRP and Patriot, we generally employed the same methodology historically used by the Company pre Spin-off to allocate said expenses and thus we believe that the allocations to FRP are a reasonable approximation of the costs related to FRP’s operations but any such related-party transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis as the terms were negotiated while Patriot was still a subsidiary of FRP.

 

 

(6) Long-Term debt. Long-term debt is summarized as follows (in thousands):

13 
 

    March 31,   September 30,
    2015   2014
Revolving credit (uncollateralized)   $ 11,304       10,363  
5.6% to 7.9% mortgage notes                
  due in installments through 2027     42,184       45,593  
      53,488       55,956  
Less portion due within one year     4,049       4,534  
    $ 49,439       51,422  

 

On January 30, 2015, in connection with the Spin-off, the Company terminated its $55 million credit facility entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in 2012 and simultaneously entered into a new five year credit agreement with Wells Fargo with a maximum facility amount of $20 million and a $10 million sublimit available for standby letters of credit. At September 30, 2014, prior to the Spin-off, the total amount outstanding on the credit facility was $17,645,000 of which the Company was allocated $10,363,000 and Patriot was allocated $7,282,000.  On the day of the spin-off the Company refinanced $10,483,000 into the Company’s new credit facility and Patriot refinanced $5,142,000 into Patriot’s new credit facility. As of March 31, 2015, there was $11,304,000 outstanding on the Company’s new credit facility and $2,610,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $6,086,000 available for borrowing and the Company was in compliance with all its loan covenants.

 

In January 2015 the Company prepaid the $1,314,000 remaining principal balance on 8.55% and 7.95% mortgages. The prepayment penalty of $116,000 is included in interest expense. The remaining deferred loan costs of $15,000 were also included in interest expense.

 

The fair values of the Company’s mortgage notes payable were estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At March 31, 2015, the carrying amount and fair value of such long-term debt was $42,184,000 and $46,048,000, respectively.

 Net income $ 0.14       0.18       0.42       0.42  

 

 

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, 56,110 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014, 26,334 and 31,790 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

 

(8) Stock-Based Compensation Plans. As more fully described in Note 7 to the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s stock-based compensation plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and stock awards. The number of common shares available for future issuance was 419,170 at March 31, 2015.

 

As a result of the Spin-off and pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, we made certain adjustments to the exercise price and number of outstanding FRP stock options. All outstanding options held by the Company directors, Company officers and key employees on January 30, 2015 were cancelled and replaced by an equal number of FRP options at 75.14% of the previous exercise price based upon the market value of FRP less the when issued market value of the Company on that day. For FRP officers additional options were issued rather than issuing Patriot options for the 24.86% market value attributed to Patriot. The adjusted stock options are subject to the same vesting conditions and other terms that applied to the original FRP award immediately prior to the Spin-off, except as otherwise described above.

Subsequent to Spin-off, the realized tax benefit pertaining to options exercised and the remaining compensation cost of options previously granted prior to the Spin-off will be recognized by FRP or Patriot based on the employment location of the related employee or director.

The realized tax benefit to the Company or Patriot from options exercised in the six months ended March 31, 2015 was $406,000. The unrecognized compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested as of March 31, 2015 was $823,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years. Gains of $1,048,000 were realized by option holders during the six months ended March 31, 2015.

 

 

(9) Contingent liabilities. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in litigation on matters and are subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company is fully

16 
 

insured and does not retain any self-insurance risk with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage.

 

Preliminary testing on the site of the Company's four phase master development known as Riverfront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C. indicated the presence of contaminated soils that will have to be specially handled upon excavation in conjunction with construction of each phase. The Company previously agreed with our joint venture partner to bear the cost of handling the contaminated materials up to a cap of $1.871 million. In connection with that agreement, the Company recorded an expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 of $1.771 million for this environmental remediation liability. During the quarter, the total cost of remediation on Phase I reached $2.024 million which is still within the projected budget for these remediation expenses as determined by our development partner. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $100,000 expense in this second quarter of 2015 in the Land Development and Construction segment and incurred a loss of $140,000 in equity in joint ventures as a result of our 77% pro rata share of these additional remediation costs incurred within the joint venture.

 

The Company has no obligation to remediate the contamination on Phases II, III and IV of the development until such time as it makes a commitment to commence construction there. The Company's position is that the prior tenant on the property is contractually responsible for the cost of removal of the contaminated materials and we are continuing to pursue this claim. The Company's actual expense to address this issue may be materially higher or lower than the expense previously recorded depending upon the actual costs incurred and any reimbursement that we receive from the prior tenant.

 

 

(10) Concentrations. Our Land Development and Construction and our Asset Management segments operate predominately in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington DC market area and a significant economic downturn affecting that region could adversely affect our financial results.

 

Likewise, our Mining Royalty Land segment generates the predominance of its revenue from mines in Florida and Georgia and is subject to the effects of economic downturns and construction cycles in these markets. Additionally, this segment has one lessee that accounted for 63.9% of the segment’s revenues and $107,000 of accounts receivable at March 31, 2015. The termination of certain of this lessee’s underlying leases or non-performance under the leases could have a material adverse effect on the segment.

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC insured limits.

 

 

17 
 

(11) Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 means the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 means the use of values that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 means the use of inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The fair value of all other financial instruments with the exception of mortgage notes (see Note 6) approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. In addition, we believe the fair value of the amount outstanding pertaining to the revolver approximates the carrying value as the related debt agreement reflects present market terms and contains certain interest rates that reset periodically based on current market indices.

 

 

(12) Real Estate Held for Sale. The Company and the buyer recently executed an amendment to extend the closing for the sale of phase two of the Windlass Run residential sale from March 2015 to August 2015 and increased the sales price by $188,000, to $11,188,000, to compensate the Company for the delay. Management believes this closing will occur on or before August 31, 2015. The book value of the property was $4,698,000 as of March 31, 2015 and is classified as real estate held for sale.

 

 

(13) Unusual or Infrequent Items Impacting Quarterly Results.

 

Operating profit includes expenses of $107,000 and $307,000 in the second quarter and six months respectively of fiscal 2015 for non-recurring costs related to the Spin-off.

 

In January 2015 the Company prepaid the $1,314,000 remaining principal balance on 8.55% and 7.95% mortgages. The prepayment penalty of $116,000 is included in interest expense. The remaining deferred loan costs of $15,000 were also included in interest expense.

 

 

(14) Investment in Riverfront and Brooksville Joint Ventures.

 

Riverfront. On March 30, 2012 the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with MRP SE Waterfront Residential, LLC. (“MRP”) to form a joint venture to develop the first phase only of the four phase master development known as Riverfront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the Joint Venture is to develop, own, lease and ultimately sell an approximately 300,000

18 
 

square foot residential apartment building (including approximately 18,000 square feet of retail) on approximately 2 acres of the roughly 5.82 acre site. The joint venture, Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC (“Riverfront I”) was formed in June 2013 as contemplated. The Company contributed land with an agreed to value of $13,500,000 (cost basis of $6,165,000) and contributed cash of $4,866,000 to the Joint Venture for a 76.91% stake in the venture. MRP contributed capital of $5,553,000 to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to formation of the joint venture. The Joint Venture closed on $17,000,000 of EB5 secondary financing and a nonrecourse construction loan for $65,000,000 on August 8, 2014. Both these financing sources are non-recourse to FRP. Construction commenced in October 2014. At this point, the Company anticipates lease up to occur in the second half of calendar 2016 and all of 2017. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as MRP acts as the administrative agent of the joint venture and oversees and controls the day to day operations of the project.

 

Other income for the first six months of fiscal 2015 includes a loss of $162,000 representing the Company’s portion of the loss of this joint venture due primarily to expenses incurred in the joint venture this quarter with respect to the environmental remediation.

 

Brooksville. In 2006, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Florida Rock Industries, Inc. (now owned by Vulcan Materials Company) to jointly own and develop approximately 4,300 acres of land near Brooksville, Florida. Under the terms of the joint venture, FRP contributed its fee interest in approximately 3,443 acres formerly leased to Vulcan under a long-term mining lease which had a net book value of $2,548,000. Vulcan is entitled to mine a portion of the property until 2022 and pay royalties to the Company. FRP also contributed $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of a 288-acre contiguous parcel. Vulcan contributed 553 acres that it owned as well as its leasehold interest in the 3,443 acres that it leased from FRP and $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of the 288-acre contiguous parcel. The joint venture is jointly controlled by Vulcan and FRP, and they each have a mandatory obligation to fund additional capital contributions of up to $2,380,000. Capital contributions of $2,347,000 have been made by each party as of March 31, 2015. Distributions will be made on a 50-50 basis except for royalties and depletion specifically allocated to the Company. Other income for the first six months of fiscal 2015 includes a loss of $18,000 representing the Company’s portion of the loss of this joint venture. In April 2011, the Florida Department of Community Affairs issued its Final Order approving the development of the Project, and zoning for the Project was obtained from Hernando County in August 2012. We will continue to monitor the residential market in Hernando County and pursue opportunities to partner with a master community developer or major homebuilder to commence construction when the market dictates.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial information and related notes that appear in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview – This section provides management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of FRP Holdings, Inc. for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as well as the first six months of fiscal year 2015.

 

On January 30, 2015, FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” NASDAQ-FRPH) completed the spin-off of its transportation business into a new, separately traded public company Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (“Patriot” NASDAQ-PATI) resulting in FRPH becoming a pure real estate company. As a result of the spin-off the former transportation segment of the Company is reported as a discontinued operation without any corporate overhead allocation. Hence, all corporate overhead of the transportation group through the date of the spin-off is included in “corporate expense” on the Company’s consolidated income statements herein.

 

The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $845,000 or $.09 per share, a decrease of $72,000 or 8%, versus $917,000 or $.10 per diluted share in the second quarter last year.

 

The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $1,976,000 or $.20 per diluted share in the first six months of fiscal 2015, a decrease of $107,000 or 5%, compared to net income from continuing operations of $2,083,000 or $.22 per diluted share in the same period last year.

 

In order to affect the Spin-off and govern our relationship with Patriot after the Spin-off, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, and a Transition Services Agreement.

The Transition Services Agreement sets forth the terms on which Patriot will provide the Company certain services that were shared prior to the Spin-off, including the services of certain shared executive officers and the Accounting, HR and IT departments, for an initial period of 12 months after the Spin-off.

Following the completion of the spin-off of the transportation business on January 30, 2015, management conducted a strategic review of the Company’s real estate operations.  As a result of this review, information that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (its chief executive officer) regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2015, the Company will report its financial performance

22 
 

based on the three reportable segments described below.  Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2015, our financial statements will reflect the new reporting structure with prior periods adjusted accordingly. 

 

Our Mining and Royalties segment stays the same, but based on our strategic review the Developed Property Rentals segment has been broken down into an Asset Management segment and a Land Development and Construction segment to reflect how management now evaluates the real estate activities previously presented in the Developed Property Rentals segment. The Asset Management segment contains all the developed buildings capable of producing current rental income; the Land Development and Construction segments contains the remaining developable land not yet developed to its eventual highest and best use potential where the Company's focus is to add further entitlements, construct vertical improvements or market the property to third parties all in an effort to bring such property to income producing status or realization of its fair market value through sales or exchange. This Land Development and Construction segment is generally in a pre-income production state where objectives are long term capital investment for eventual production of long-term rental streams or capital investment to achieve highest potential market value for sale to third parties.

 

The Company’s operations are influenced by a number of external and internal factors. External factors include levels of economic and industrial activity in the United States and the Southeast, construction activity and costs, aggregates sales by lessees from the Company’s mining properties, interest rates, market conditions in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington DC area, and our ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development. Internal factors include administrative costs and group health claims experience. Financial results of the Company for any individual quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

 

 

Asset Management Segment.

 

The Asset Management segment owns, leases, manages and operates warehouse/office buildings located predominately in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington, DC market area.  We focus primarily on owning flexible type facilities that cater to the maximum number of tenant types. As most of our buildings are less than 150,000 square feet, we focus on local and regional vs. national tenants. Hands-on service provided by our in-house construction and property management teams keeps us close to our tenant base. These practices are the cornerstone of our mission to provide the highest quality product and services at cost efficient and competitive rates resulting in tenant satisfaction and ultimately retention.

 

These assets create revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, lease management fees and reimbursements for building

23 
 

operating costs. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for operating expenses, real estate taxes, building repairs, lease commissions and other lease closing costs, construction of tenant improvements, capital to acquire existing operating buildings and closing costs related thereto and the personnel costs of our in-house construction and property management teams. Most of these buildings were constructed by us through our Land Development and Construction segment. Additionally, over the years, we have opportunistically acquired existing operating buildings, typically in connection with a 1031 exchange opportunity.  Today, this segment consists of just over 3.6 million square feet.

 

Management focuses on several factors to measure our success on a comparative basis in this segment. The major factors we focus on are (1) revenue growth, (2) growth in occupied square feet, (3) actual occupancy rate, (4) average annual occupied square feet, (5) average annual occupancy rate (defined as the occupied sf at the end of each month during a fiscal year divided by the number of months to date in that fiscal year as a percentage of the average number of square feet in the portfolio over that same time period), (6) growth of our portfolio (in square feet), and (7) tenant retention success rate (as a percentage of total square feet to be renewed).

 

Asset Management segment – six months ended March 31, 2015 March 31, 2014
Revenues $7,330,748 $6,579,382
Occupied square feet 3,198,200 3,054,703
Overall occupancy rate 88.8% 89.8%
Average annual occupied sf 3,273,682 2,984,365
Average annual occupancy rate 91.4% 89.9%
Portfolio square feet 3,602,159 3,402,629
Retention Success rate 71% 66%

 

 

Mining Royalty Lands Segment.

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties.  Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia.  The typical lease in this segment requires the tenant to pay us a royalty based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our property during a given fiscal year multiplied by a percentage of the average sales price per ton sold. As a result of this royalty payment structure, we do not bear the cost risks associated with the mining operations, however, we are subject to the cyclical nature of the construction markets in these States as both volumes and prices tend to fluctuate through those cycles. In certain locations, typically where the reserves on our property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a fixed annual rental amount. We believe strongly in the potential for future growth in construction in these two States which directly benefits our profitability in this segment. 

24 
 

 

The major expenses in this segment are comprised of collection and accounting for royalties, management’s oversight of the mining leases, land entitlement for post-mining uses and property taxes at our non-leased locations and at our Grandin location which, unlike our other leased mining locations, are not paid by the tenant.  As such, our costs in this business are very low as a percentage of revenue, are relatively stable and are not affected by increases in production at our locations. Our current mining tenants include Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta and Cemex, among others. 

 

Additionally, these locations provide us with excellent opportunities for valuable “2nd lives” for these assets through proper land planning and entitlement. Examples of this are (i) the 4,200 acre Brooksville, Florida property that we recently entitled as a development of regional impact for a large mixed-use development with our joint venture partner, Vulcan Materials, (ii) the 105 waterfront lots approved for future development at our Ft. Myers, Florida location (iii) the mined out Gulf Hammock quarry, approximately 1,600 acres inclusive of several large lakes resulting from the mining operations, which we currently have listed for sale and (iv) our Lakeside Business park in Maryland which at one time was a 135 acre sand and gravel mining operation. 

 

 

Land Development and Construction Segment.

 

Through our Land Development and Construction segment, we own and are continuously monitoring for their “highest and best use” several parcels of land that are in various stages of development.  Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all of our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing new warehouse/office buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to third parties.

Revenues in this segment are generated predominately from land sales and interim property rents. The significant cash outlays incurred in this segment are for land acquisition costs, entitlement costs, property taxes, design and permitting, the personnel costs of our in-house management team and horizontal and vertical construction costs.

Since 1990, one of our primary strategies in this segment has been to acquire, entitle and ultimately develop commercial/industrial business parks providing 5–15 building pads which we typically convert into warehouse/office buildings for our Asset Management segment to own and operate.  To date, our management team has converted 26 of these pads into developed buildings that we continue to own and manage through the Asset Management segment. Our typical practice has been to transfer these assets to the Asset Management segment on the earlier to occur of (i) commencement of rental revenue or (ii) issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We have also opportunistically sold several of these pad sites over time to third party “users”. 

 

25 
 

The remaining pad sites in our inventory today are fully entitled, located in business parks in four different submarkets in the DC/Baltimore/Northern Virginia area, and can support an additional 1.2 million sf. of warehouse/office buildings. 

 

Summary of Our Remaining Lot Inventory: 

 

Location Acreage SF +/- Status (LET’S DISCUSS THESE)
Lakeside, MD 20 266,530 Horizontal development completed. Ready for vertical permitting.
Windlass Run Business Park, MD 37 386,626 Horizontal development completed. Permitting submitted for 150,000 sf warehouse/office building with the balance ready for further vertical permitting.
Patriot Business Center, Manassas, VA 23 198,150 Horizontal development completed. Ready for vertical permitting.
Hollander 95 Business Park, MD 33 345,750 Horizontal development completed. Permitting received for 80,000 sf warehouse/office building with the balance ready for vertical permitting.
Total 113 1,197,056  

 

Most recently in this segment we completed a third build-to-suit building for the same tenant at our Patriot Business Park and transferred that asset to the Asset Management segment on or about November 2014 when the building was approved for occupancy. We also submitted plans for vertical construction for one warehouse/office building at each of our Hollander and Windlass Run business parks. Having sites ready for vertical construction has rewarded us in the past.  It is the main reason why we were able to convert 3 of our finished pads at Patriot Business Park into build-to-suit opportunities for a Fortune 500 company in 2012, 2013 and 2014.  We will continue to actively monitor these submarkets where we have lots ready for construction and take advantage of the opportunities presented to us.

 

In addition to the inventory of finished building lots, we have several other properties that were either spun-off to us from Florida Rock Industries in 1986 or acquired by us from unrelated 3rd parties.  These properties, as a result of our “highest and best use” studies, are being prepared for income generation through sale or joint venture with third parties, and in certain cases we are leasing these properties on an interim basis for an income stream while we wait for the development market to ripen. 

 

Our strategy when selling parcels outright is to attempt to convert the proceeds into income producing real estate for our Asset Management segment through a Section 1031 exchange. An example of

26 
 

this would be the Windlass Run residential land whereby we sold phase 1 for $8 million and used the proceeds in a Section 1031 exchange to acquire our Transit business park in 2013.

 

An example of property in this segment being developed through joint venture is Phase I of the Riverfront on the Anacostia project which was contributed to a joint venture with MRP in 2014 and is now under construction as a 305 unit apartment building including 18,000 sf of ground floor retail.

 

As of March 31, 2015, we have one property in this segment (Windlass Run residential phase II) under contract for sale and expect that transaction to close on or before August 31, 2015 for $11,187,754. In this quarter, we entered into a long term ground lease on a 3.6 acre parcel at our Hollander business park for use by the tenant as a compressed natural gas filling station. Rent will commence when all of the entitlements are complete and the facility placed into service, estimated to be during the 4th quarter of fiscal 2015. We will continue to hold this property in this segment as Management believes it is not appropriate to move it to Asset Management segment due to this being a ground lease versus an operating warehouse/office.

RIVERFRONT ON THE ANACOSTIA:

This property consists of 5.8 acres on the Anacostia River and is immediately adjacent to the Washington National’s baseball park in the SE Central Business District of Washington, DC.  Once zoned for industrial use and under a ground lease, this property is no longer

27 
 

under lease and has been re-zoned for the construction of approximately 1.1M square feet of “mixed-use” development in four phases.  In 2014, approximately 2.1 acres (Phase I) of the total 5.8 acres was contributed to a joint venture owned by the Company (77%) and our partner, MRP Realty (23%), and construction commenced in October, 2014 on a 305 unit residential apartment building with approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of first floor retail space.  Lease up is expected to commence in 2016 and continue through 2017. Phases II, III and IV are slated for residential, office, and hotel/residential buildings, respectively, all with permitted first floor retail uses. In accordance with our Master Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval, the next step for development of Phase II requires us to submit plans to the Zoning Commission for final design approval within two years of issuance of the construction permit for Phase I (i.e. by December of 2016).

WINDLASS RUN RESIDENTIAL:

We originally purchased this 179 acre tract for $5.2 million in 2002.  When purchased, the entire parcel was zoned for commercial/industrial uses.  Today, some 70 acres of this original tract makes up our Windlass Run Business Park.  We successfully rezoned the remaining acreage for medium density residential development and on April 17, 2013, we entered into a contract to sell the residential portion of the property for $19 million. Phase I of the sale closed within the quarter ending September 30, 2013 for $8.0 million and the proceeds of this sale were used in a Section 1031 exchange to acquire the Transit Business Park.  Phase II of the sale is scheduled for settlement in August 2015 for $11 million. 

HAMPSTEAD TRADE CENTER: We purchased this 117 acre tract in 2005 for $4.3 million in a Section 1031 exchange with plans of developing it as a commercial business park. The “great recession” caused us to reassess our plans for this property. As a result, Management determined that the prudent course of action is to attempt to rezone the property for residential uses and sell the entire tract to another developer such that we can redeploy this capital into an asset with more near-term income producing potential. Residential studies are on-going today.

SQUARE 664E, WASHINGTON, DC

This property sits on the Anacostia River at the base of South Capitol Street in an area named Buzzard Point, approximately 1 mile down river from our RiverFront on the Anacostia property. The Square 664E property consists of approximately 2 acres and is currently under lease to Vulcan Materials for use as a concrete batch plant. The lease terminates on August 31, 2021 and Vulcan has the option to renew for one additional period of five (5) years. In the quarter ending December 31, 2014, the District of Columbia announced that it had selected Buzzard Point for the future site of the new DC United major league soccer stadium. The selected stadium location, consisting of approximately 5 acres of land, is separated from our property by just one small industrial lot and two side streets.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, consolidated operating profit was $2,159,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, an increase of $337,000 or 18.5% compared to $1,822,000 in the same quarter last year.

 

Total revenues for the Company were $8,948,000, up $941,000, or 12%, over the same quarter last year. Our total cost of operations was up this quarter by $604,000.

 

The increase in cost of operations was due in large part to $428,000 higher corporate expenses (excluding a $671,000 decrease in corporate expense unallocated to discontinued operations included in the Company’s corporate expenses in this period versus the same period last year) as the result of (i) higher accruals for corporate performance bonuses as the likelihood of achieving our corporate bonus targets was much lower in the year ago quarter, (ii) higher director compensation costs as the Company added an additional director to our Board of Directors (iii) higher corporate medical claims costs in the quarter; (b) $355,000 more in property tax expense as a result of adding additional assets to our portfolio and a $98,000 increase in the property taxes at Riverfront on the Anacostia Phases II-IV (under appeal); and (c) higher depreciation and operating expenses as the Company added buildings to our portfolio and incurred expenses in connection with environmental remediation at the Riverfront on the Anacostia Phase I property and exploratory work on the bulkhead at our 664E property located on the Anacostia River in Washington, DC. The 664E property is a 2 acre parcel just downriver from our Riverfront on the Anacostia property and is currently under lease to Vulcan Materials for use as a concrete batch plant.

 

During this quarter, the Company recorded an additional $100,000 environmental remediation expense in the second quarter of 2015 relating to Riverfront on the Anacostia Phase I and incurred a loss of $140,000 in equity in joint ventures, $118,000 of which was a result

29 
 

of our 77% pro rata share of these additional remediation costs incurred within the joint venture.

 

The Company’s interest expense increased by $310,000 this quarter due mostly to $131,000 expense associated with the early payoff of two mortgages and $229,000 less capitalized interest in this quarter versus the same quarter last year as a result of the completion of construction activities at Patriot and Hollander Business Parks that were on-going in the prior year second quarter.

 

Post Spin-off we are reporting any net gain/(loss) from the transportation business as “discontinued operations” and in the quarter we received a net benefit to after tax net income of $124,000 this quarter versus the same quarter last year.

 

 

Asset Management Segment Results

 

Highlights of the Second Quarter 2015:

 

  • Operating profit was $2,951,000 in the quarter, up $289,000 over the same quarter last year on $750,000 more in revenue.
  • Our overall occupancy rate was down 1.1% versus the same time last fiscal year but our total square feet occupied rose by 143,497.

Rental Revenues in this segment were $5,755,000, up from $5,177,000 in the same quarter last year due mainly to an increase in square feet occupied. Cost of operations were up $461,000 due mainly to adding additional square feet to this segment resulting in higher depreciation, operating expenses and property taxes partially offset by higher tenant reimbursements and higher corporate expenses due mainly to higher corporate bonus accruals and higher corporate medical claims. Operating profit in this quarter was $2,951,000 versus

$2,662,000 in the same quarter last year, an 11% increase.

Royalty and rental revenue in this segment were $1,315,000 up $112,000, a 9.3% increase, due mainly to a 15% increase in tons mined this quarter versus the same quarter last year. Our operating profit was $941,000, up $62,000 versus the same quarter last year. We believe that volumes will increase at our locations as construction activity in Florida and Georgia improves. We continue to make slow progress on construction recovery following the “great recession”.

 

 

Land Development and Construction Segment Results

 

Highlights of the Second Quarter 2015:

  • Extended the closing date on Windlass Run residential from March 2015 to August 2015 and increasing the purchase price payable to the Company by $188,000 for said extension.
  • Executed a 10 year ground lease on a 3.6 acre developed lot at Hollander Business Park to be used as a compressed natural gas filling station.
  • Submitted construction drawings for new warehouse buildings at both Hollander (permit received in the quarter) and Windlass Run business parks.
  • Substantially completed all horizontal development at both Hollander and Patriot Business parks.
  • Recorded a $100,000 expense related to environmental remediation at Riverfront on the Anacostia Phase I.

Revenues in this segment were $283,000, up from $201,000 in the same quarter last year due mainly to higher reimbursements for property taxes on the Square 664E property. Operating loss in this quarter was $879,000 versus a loss of $468,000 in the same quarter last year. Operating expenses were up $147,000 in this period mainly as a result of exploratory work related to potential repairs to be made to the bulkhead on the 664E property. Net property taxes were up $207,000 in the quarter due mainly to increased assessments at Riverfront on the Anacostia (currently under appeal). Management company direct expense was up $78,000 as less of management’s time was capitalized in this quarter as construction activities were no longer on-going at Patriot and Hollander business parks this quarter.

For the first six months of fiscal 2015, consolidated operating profit was $4,504,000 (negatively impacted by $1,081,000 of corporate expense not allocable to discontinued operations), an increase of $506,000 or 13% compared to $3,998,000 (negatively impacted by $1,544,000 of corporate expense not allocable to discontinued operations) in the same period last year.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2015, total revenues for the Company were $17,250,000, up $2,014,000, or 13%, over the same period last year. This is mainly due to higher rental revenues from the Asset Management segment (up $1,353,000) as the Company continues to grow the size of our portfolio and execute on leasing available space. The Company also saw an increase in our Mining Royalties segment as volumes in that business are trending in a positive direction.

 

Our costs were up $1,508,000 due in part to a $615,000 increase in corporate expenses (excluding a $463,000 decrease in corporate expense unallocated to discontinued operations included in the Company’s corporate expenses in this period versus the same period last year). The $615,000 increase was attributable to (i) $254,000 in one-time spin-off costs, (ii) a $174,000 increase in director compensation mainly due to the addition of a director to our Board of Directors, (iii) $89,000 in bonus accruals and (iv) $64,000 in higher corporate medical claims. Additionally, our cost of operations are up generally due to (i) increased depreciation expense ($462,000) and (ii) higher property tax expense ($610,000) as a result of adding additional assets to our portfolio, partially off-set by higher tenant reimbursements and an increased tax expense at Anacostia on the Riverfront Phases II-IV and (iii) higher operating expenses ($274,000) due in large part to the exploratory work on the bulkhead at 664E during this period and the environmental remediation expenses on Anacostia on the Riverfront Phase I.

 

Our interest expense is up $466,000 over the same period last year due to $131,000 expense associated with the early payoff of two mortgages and $424,000 less capitalized interest in this period versus the same period last year partially offset by lower interest costs on our outstanding debt due to lower balances.

 

Post Spin-off we are reporting any net gain/(loss) from the transportation business as “discontinued operations” and in the period we received a net benefit to after tax net income of $613,000 this period versus the same period last year. Despite the $2,014,000 increase in revenues, our consolidated net income for the Company in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was only up $111,000 due to the additional expenses outlined above.

 

 

Asset Management Segment Results

 

Highlights of the first six months of 2015:

 

    33 
     
  • Average annual occupancy year to date is 91.4% versus 89.9% in the same period a year ago which translates to an additional 289,317 square feet occupied this period versus the same period last year, a 9.7% increase.
  • Tenant retention rate was 71% relative to square feet eligible for renewal in the period.
  • Our portfolio has grown from 3,402,629 to 3,602,159 sf since March 31, 2014 with the additions of 199,530 sf to the segment as a result of the latest build-to-suit at Patriot Business Park and the acquisition of the Kelso buildings.

Rental revenues in this segment were up $1,353,000 over the same period last year due mainly to an increase in square feet occupied. Cost of operations were up $792,000 due mainly to adding additional square feet to this segment resulting in higher property taxes and depreciation partially offset by additional tenant reimbursements and higher corporate expenses due to higher bonus accruals. Operating profit was up $955,000 over the same period last year, an 18% increase.

Royalty and rental revenue in this segment were $2,635,000, up $185,000, a 7.5% increase, due mainly to a 16% increase in tons mined this period versus the same period last year. Operating profit was $1,940,000, up $122,000 over the same period past year. We believe that mining volumes will continue to increase at our locations as construction activity in Florida and Georgia continues to improve following the “great recession”.

 

 

Land Development and Construction Segment Results

 

Highlights of the first six months of 2015:

 

  • Construction commenced on Phase 1 of Riverfront on the Anacostia and completion is slated for the fall of 2016.
  • Completed construction of the third build-to-suit building at Patriot Business Park and transferred the asset to our Asset Management segment.
  • Filed construction permit drawings for a new warehouse building at both Hollander and Windlass Run business parks.
  • Leased a 3.6 acre parcel of land at our Hollander Business Park under a 10 year term ground lease for use as a compressed natural gas filling station.
  • Commenced an exploratory program with respect to potential improvements to the bulkhead on the 664E property which will enhance the use and functionality of the property for its ultimate highest and best use development following termination of the interim lease with Vulcan Materials.
  • Recorded a $100,000 expense related to environmental remediation at Riverfront on the Anacostia Phase I.

We reported an increase in the operating loss in this segment of $603,000 in the first six months of 2015 versus the same period last year on generally flat revenues. The increased loss is mainly due to (i) expenses associated with the exploratory program on the bulkhead at the 664E property ($142,000), (ii) higher property tax expense as a result of an increase on the assessment at Riverfront on the Anacostia (under appeal) and (iii) $100,000 in expense associated with the environmental cleanup on Phase I of Riverfront on the Anacostia.

 

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The growth of the Company’s businesses requires significant cash needs to acquire and develop land or operating buildings and to construct new buildings and tenant improvements. As of March 31, 2015, we had $11,304,000 borrowed under our $20 million revolver, $2,610,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $6,086,000 available to borrow under the revolver. The Company expects to close on a $20 Million secured revolver with First Tennessee Bank in the third quarter of this fiscal year to provide additional liquidity for growth opportunities. First Tennessee has also committed to provide an additional $20 Million of secured financing to the Company prior to the end of calendar 2015 on a ten year term loan amortizing on a twenty five (25) year basis. We expect to close on this second loan with First Tennessee by the end of calendar year 2015.

 

Cash Flows - The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for each of the periods presented (in thousands of dollars):

Financing activities   (3,194   10,772  
(Decrease) Increase in cash and cash equivalents $ (322 $ 630  

 

 

Operating Activities - Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $513,000 to $8,271,000 for the six months ended March 31,

36 
 

2015. The total of net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization less gains on sales of property and equipment increased $772,000 versus the same period last year. These changes are described above under “Comparative Results of Operations”. The current period includes $689,000 more cash used to reduce accounts payable and accrued liabilities, although both periods had substantial uses of cash for this purpose due to the completion of build-to-suit’s in each year and an $845,000 reduction in environmental remediation liability in the current year. The same period last year included $1,161,000 collection of prior year real estate taxes receivable. The current period includes offsetting increases to deferred income taxes and prepayment of current year income taxes.

 

Investing Activities - For the first six months ended March 31, 2015, cash required by investing activities decreased $13,527,000 to $5,399,000. The prior period discontinued operations cash required was $12,652,000 higher due to an acquisition. Cash required by investing activities for continuing operations decreased $875,000 due to increased construction activity in the prior period offset by the related release of escrow cash.

 

Financing Activities – For the first six months ended March 31, 2015, cash required by financing activities was $3,194,000 versus cash provided by financing activities of $10,772,000 in the first six months ended March 31, 2014. The prior period discontinued operations cash provided was $13,315,000 higher due to borrowings to fund an acquisition in the prior period compared to debt repayment in the current period. Cash required by financing activities for continuing operations was $651,000 higher in the current period primarily due to debt prepayment.

 

In January 2015 the Company prepaid the $1,314,000 remaining principal balance on 8.55% and 7.95% mortgages. The prepayment penalty of $116,000 is included in interest expense. The remaining deferred loan costs of $15,000 were also included in interest expense.

 

 

Credit Facilities - On January 30, 2015, in connection with the Spin-off, the Company terminated its $55 million credit facility entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in 2012 and simultaneously entered into a new five year credit agreement with Wells Fargo with a maximum facility amount of $20 million (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a $10 million sublimit available for standby letters of credit. At the time of the Spin-off, the Company refinanced $10,483,000 of borrowings then outstanding on the terminated revolver. As of March 31, 2015, there was $11,304,000 outstanding on the revolver and $2,610,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $6,086,000 available for borrowing. The letters of credit were issued to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real estate development. Most of the letters of credit are irrevocable for a period of one year and typically are automatically extended for additional one-year periods. The Revolver bears interest at a rate of 1.4% over the

37 
 

selected LIBOR, which may change quarterly based on the Company’s ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined. A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment. The commitment fee may also change quarterly based upon the ratio described above. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum $110 million tangible net worth. As of March 31, 2015, the tangible net worth covenant would have limited our ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock with borrowed funds to a maximum of $67 million combined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2015.

 

Last quarter, the company announced the execution of a commitment from First Tennessee Bank to provide up to $40 million dollars of mortgage backed financing in two separate facilities. The first facility is a five year, $20,000,000, secured revolver with a twenty-four month window to convert up to the full amount of the facility into a ten year term loan. The second facility is a $20,000,000 ten year term loan secured by to-be-determined collateral from our current pool of unencumbered warehouse/office properties. We expect to close on the secured revolver in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. We expect to close on the ten year term loan by the end of calendar year 2015. The purpose of these loans is to facilitate growth through new construction in the Land Development and Construction segment and/or acquisition of existing, operating buildings to be added to the Asset Management segment.

 

 

Cash Requirements – The Board of Directors has authorized Management to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time as opportunities arise. During the first six months of fiscal 2015 the Company did not repurchase any shares of stock. As of March 31, 2015, $5,000,000 was authorized for future repurchases of common stock. The Company does not currently pay any cash dividends on common stock.

 

The Company currently expects its fiscal 2015 capital expenditures to include approximately $10,498,000 for real estate development, of which $2,429,000 has been expended to date, which will be funded mostly out of cash generation from operations and partly from borrowings under our credit facilities. As of March 31, 2015, there was $11,304,000 outstanding on the revolver and $2,610,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $6,086,000 available for borrowing.

 

 

Summary and Outlook. With the successful completion of the Spin-off, we are focused on building shareholder value through our real estate holdings - mainly by growing our portfolio and converting non-income producing assets into income production. While our operating segments are improving, in particular our Asset Management segment, our overall performance was diminished by the costs of the Spin-off, higher corporate overhead expenses, and a higher property tax assessment at Riverfront on the Anacostia.

38 
 

 

The Company commenced construction of the first phase of the four phase Anacostia development in October 2014 with lease up scheduled in 2016 and 2017. We expect to close on the sale of Windlass Run Residential Phase II for $11,188,000 million in August 2015. We are actively seeking replacement opportunities for these proceeds with the goal of adding income producing warehouse product to our portfolio. In this quarter we applied for vertical construction permits for a new Class A warehouse to be constructed in each of our Hollander (permit received) and Windlass Run business parks. The timing of commencement of construction on either building is yet to be determined. We continue to look for opportunities to add assets to our Mining Royalty Land segment but locating, buying, and permitting high quality reserves such as ours is becoming increasingly difficult. 

 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Interest Rate Risk - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our variable-rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for borrowings at March 31, 2015 was 1.4%. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be increased in the event that our debt to capitalization ratio as calculated under the Credit Agreement exceeds a target level. Based upon our indebtedness at March 31, 2015 of $11,304,000, a 1% increase in interest rate would result in $113,000 of additional interest expense annually.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

 

All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO, CFO and CAO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in periodic SEC filings.

 

Subsequent to that evaluation, in connection with the restatement discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report and the filing of this Amendment, management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015, and our CEO and CFO concluded that that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2015, because these controls and procedures failed to assure that the reclassification of expenses required due to the spin-off information was properly presented.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
