“Our third quarter results continue to demonstrate the increased earnings we are achieving as we scale up the business. We have built the company infrastructure so we can continue to increase scale without materially increasing SG&A, which should lead to higher AFFO per share over time,” said Paul Pittman, the Company’s CEO. “We run a very efficient business model with 12 employees as we are approaching 100,000 acres.”

Other Recent Highlights

On November 9, 2015, the Company announced that it entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 120 farms in Illinois totaling approximately 22,300 acres for a total purchase price of $197.0 million. The consideration consists of $50.0 million in cash, $30.0 million in a combination of common stock of the Company and common units of limited partnership interest in the Company’s operating partnership (“OP Units”) valued at $11.50 per share and $117.0 million in newly classified preferred OP Units. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions, including satisfactory completion of the Company’s due diligence.

In October, the Company entered into a wind lease agreement on two farms in North Carolina and a ground lease agreement for a solar farm on one farm in South Carolina. These projects, along with other renewable energy projects being considered, are indicative of management’s ability to find additional sources of revenue beyond traditional farm rents.

Additionally, subsequent to September 30, 2015, the Company entered into contracts for the acquisition of 125 farms located in Georgia, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Illinois totaling 24,302 acres for an aggregate purchase price of $201.4 million.

Quarterly Dividends

On October 15, 2015, the Company paid a third quarter dividend of $0.1275 per share to all stockholders of record on October 1, 2015. On an annualized basis, this dividend equates to $0.51 per share, which represents an annual distribution rate of 5.06% based on the Company’s closing stock price on November 9, 2015.

Operating Results

The Company owns or has under contract 248 farms in Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia totaling approximately 96,725 acres, including two farms totaling 1,229 acres acquired subsequent to September 30, 2015 and 125 farms totaling 24,302 acres under contract.

The majority of the Company’s tenants pay 100% of their annual rent in advance of each spring planting season. Consistent with industry practice for cash rents, when the Company makes new acquisitions in the first half of the year, the Company often will receive 100% of the year’s rent at closing. However, the Company recognizes revenues on a straight-line basis throughout the entire multi-year term of the lease, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Actual cash rent receipts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $0.8 million and $14.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had $7.4 million in deferred revenue, $3.5 million of which will be recognized during the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

Operating revenues were $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 230% as compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, and $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 235% as compared to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The Company recorded rental income of $4.0 million and net income of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to rental income of $1.2 million and net income of $34,805 for the same period in 2014. The Company recorded rental income of $8.9 million and net income of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to rental income of $2.5 million and a net loss $0.4 million for the same period in 2014.

Total rental income increased $2.9 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the average annual rent for the entire portfolio increased to $216 per acre from $184 per acre for the same period in 2014 as a result of diversification of the Company’s portfolio.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP measures as useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: Funds From Operations (“FFO”), AFFO, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company’s operating performance. FFO, AFFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company does.

FFO

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation, depletion and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management presents FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring the Company’s operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO.

AFFO

The Company calculates AFFO by adjusting FFO to exclude the income and expenses that the Company believes are not reflective of the sustainability of the Company’s ongoing operating performance, including, but not limited to, crop year adjusted revenue, real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs, indirect offering costs and stock-based compensation.

Changes in GAAP accounting and reporting rules that were put in effect after the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO result in the inclusion of a number of items in FFO that do not correlate with the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance.  Therefore, in addition to FFO, the Company presents AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted, both of which are non-GAAP measures.  Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company’s operational performance than FFO. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of the Company’s operating performance. Even AFFO, however, does not properly capture the timing of cash receipts, especially in connection with full-year rent payments under lease agreements entered into in connection with newly acquired farms. Management considers AFFO per share, fully diluted to be a supplemental metric to GAAP earnings per share. AFFO per share, fully diluted provides additional insight into how the Company’s operating performance could be allocated to potential shares outstanding at a specific point in time. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, and presenting AFFO will enable investors to assess the Company’s performance in comparison to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted may not always be comparable to AFFO and AFFO per share amounts calculated by other REITs. AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to net income

(loss) earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a key financial measure used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance but should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDA is a standard performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors in the Company’s industry. However, while EBITDA is a performance measure widely used across several industries, the Company does not believe that it correctly captures the Company’s business operating performance because it includes non-cash expenses and recurring adjustments that are necessary to better understand the Company’s business operating performance.  Therefore, in addition to EBITDA, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure.

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA for certain items such as crop year adjusted revenue, stock-based compensation, indirect offering costs and real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs that the Company considers necessary to understand its operating performance. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income and EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
