NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Business

Reis, Inc. is a Maryland corporation. When we refer to “Reis” or the “Company,” we are referring to Reis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company provides commercial real estate market information and analytical tools to real estate professionals, through its Reis Services subsidiary. For disclosure and financial reporting purposes, this business is referred to as the Reis Services segment.

Reis Services

Reis Services, including its predecessors, was founded in 1980. Reis maintains a proprietary database containing detailed information on commercial properties in metropolitan markets and neighborhoods throughout the U.S. The database contains information on apartment, office, retail, warehouse/distribution, flex/research & development, self storage, seniors housing, student housing and affordable housing properties, and is used by real estate investors, lenders and other professionals to make informed buying, selling and financing decisions. In addition, Reis data is used by debt and equity investors to assess, quantify and manage the risks of default and loss associated with individual mortgages, properties, portfolios and real estate backed securities. Reis currently provides its information services to many of the nation’s leading lending institutions, equity investors, brokers and appraisers.

The Company’s product portfolio features: Reis SE, its flagship delivery platform aimed at larger and mid-sized enterprises; ReisReports, aimed at prosumers and smaller enterprises; Mobiuss Portfolio CRE, or Mobiuss, and other portfolio support products and services, aimed primarily at risk managers and credit administrators at banks and non-bank lending institutions. It is through these products that Reis provides online access to a proprietary database of commercial real estate information and analytical tools designed to facilitate debt and equity transactions as well as ongoing asset and portfolio evaluations. Depending on the product or level of entitlement, users have access to market trends and forecasts at metropolitan and neighborhood levels throughout the U.S. and/or detailed building-specific information such as rents, vacancy rates, lease terms, property sales, new construction listings and property valuation estimates. Reis’s products are designed to meet the demand for timely and accurate information to support the decision making of property owners, developers, builders, banks and non-bank lenders, equity investors and service providers. These real estate professionals require access to timely information on both the performance and pricing of assets, including detailed data on market transactions, supply, absorption, rents and sale prices. This information is critical to all aspects of valuing assets and financing their acquisition, development and construction.

Discontinued Operations – Residential Development Activities

Prior to May 2007, the name of the Company was Wellsford Real Properties, Inc. (“Wellsford”). Wellsford, which was originally formed on January 8, 1997, acquired the Reis Services business by merger in May 2007 (the “Merger”). Wellsford’s primary operating activities immediately prior to the Merger, and conducted through its subsidiaries, were the development, construction and sale of three residential projects and its approximate 23% ownership interest in the Reis Services business. The Company completed the sale of the remaining residential units and homes at its projects or divested of the remaining residential projects in bulk sales by April 2011. In 2012, the Company settled construction defect litigation at its Colorado project and in 2015, finalized its efforts to recover funds from other responsible parties involved in the design, development, construction and supervision of the Colorado project as more fully described in Note 3.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Investments in entities where the Company does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These investments were initially recorded at cost and were subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investment’s income (loss) and additional contributions or distributions. All inter-company accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Quarterly Reporting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s balance sheets, statements of operations, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on March 3, 2016. The consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of full year results.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

From time to time, the Company has been, is or may in the future be a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The outcome of any litigation is uncertain; it is possible that a judgment in any legal actions to which the Company is a party, or which are proposed or threatened, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 10.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 defines management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company expects that the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 eliminates the deferral of FAS 167 and makes changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods

within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASU 2016-09”). Under ASU 2016-09, entities will be required to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The guidance on employers’ accounting for an employee’s use of shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation and for forfeitures is also changing. For public business entities, ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In September 2009, the Company sold the final unit at Gold Peak, the final phase of Palomino Park, a five phase multifamily residential development in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Gold Peak was a 259-unit condominium project on the remaining 29 acre land parcel at Palomino Park. On March 13, 2012, in connection with litigation regarding construction defects at the Gold Peak project, a jury rendered its verdict whereby Reis, one of its subsidiaries (Gold Peak at Palomino Park LLC, the developer of the project (“GP LLC”)), and the construction manager/general contractor for the project (Tri-Star Construction West, LLC (“Tri-Star”)) were found jointly and severally liable for an aggregate of $18,200,000, plus other costs of approximately $756,000. On June 20, 2012, following denial of all of the defendants’ post-trial motions, Reis and its subsidiaries reached a settlement with the plaintiff, the Gold Peak Homeowners Association, (“GP HOA”) providing for a total payment of $17,000,000. Of this amount, $5,000,000 was paid on August 3, 2012 and the remaining $12,000,000 was paid on October 15, 2012, in accordance with the settlement terms. Subsequent to that date, the Company began recovery efforts against other responsible parties involved in the design, development, construction and supervision of the Gold Peak project.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company entered into the final settlement agreement related to its Gold Peak recovery efforts, bringing closure to this process. In summary, recovery efforts from the fourth quarter of 2012 through December 31, 2015 have resulted in cash collections aggregating approximately $5,658,000 from multiple insurance carriers, trial attorneys, an insurance broker and other responsible parties involved in the design, development, construction and supervision of the Gold Peak project. The Company recovered $2,350,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Other expenses in these periods primarily reflect legal and other professional costs incurred related to the Gold Peak litigation recovery efforts.

5. Debt

The Company had no debt outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

In October 2012, Reis Services, as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a loan and security agreement with Capital One, National Association, as lender (“Capital One”), for a $10,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “2012 Revolver”). The 2012 Revolver had a three year term scheduled to expire on October 16, 2015; however, the expiration date was extended to January 31, 2016. On January 28, 2016, Reis Services and Capital One executed an amended and restated loan and security agreement for a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility with terms substantially similar to the 2012 Revolver (the “2016 Revolver,” and collectively with the 2012 Revolver, the “Revolver”). The 2016 Revolver expires on January 28, 2019. Any borrowings on the Revolver bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 2.00% per annum (for LIBOR loans) or the greater of 1.00% or the bank’s prime rate minus 0.50% per annum (for base rate loans). Capital One charges an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum. The Revolver is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of Reis Services, all copyrights of the Company and a pledge by the Company of its membership interests in Reis Services. The Revolver also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including minimum financial covenants, as defined in the amended and restated revolving loan credit agreement; all of the covenants were met at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. No borrowings were made on the Revolver during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and during the year ended December 31, 2015.

(A)

 

 

Includes an AMT (benefit) of $(79,000) and $(81,000) in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $(141,000) and $(119,000) in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(B)  

Includes income tax expense attributable to income from discontinued operations.

(C)  

Reflects the tax expense from continuing operations as reported on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented.

During March 2014, New York State enacted a law to (1) reduce corporate tax rates, effective in future years and (2) change the method of determining the availability and use of NOLs existing at December 31, 2014. In April 2015, New York City enacted a law which substantially conforms with the New York State changes. As a consequence, the Company evaluated all elements affecting the balance of its net deferred tax assets in the respective periods, including the availability of New York State and New York City NOL carryforwards.

Due to the amount of its NOL and credit carryforwards, the Company does not anticipate paying Federal income taxes for a number of years. The Company expects, in the future, that it will be subject to cash payments for Federal AMT and for a portion of its state and local income taxes as the changed New York State and New York City laws limit the amount of existing NOLs which could be used each year.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The net deferred tax asset was approximately $17,340,000 and $18,430,000 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, all of which was classified as non-current in accordance with ASU 2015-17. The significant portion of the deferred tax items relates to deferred tax assets including NOL carryforwards, Federal AMT credit carryforwards and stock based compensation, with the remainder of the deferred tax items relating to liabilities resulting from the intangible assets recorded at the time of the Merger.

The Company had Federal NOL carryforwards aggregating approximately $46,018,000 at December 31, 2015, as well as significant state and local NOL carryforwards. These NOLs included amounts generated subsequent to the Merger (including a substantial NOL realized during the year ended December 31, 2012 as a result of the Gold Peak litigation settlement, discussed in Note 3), losses from the Reis Services business prior to the Merger and the Company’s operating losses prior to the Merger. Approximately $13,300,000 of these Federal NOLs are subject to an annual Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitation of $2,779,000, whereas the remaining balance of approximately $32,718,000 is not subject to the limitation. The enactment of the 2014 New York State law and the 2015 New York City law discussed above limit the amount of existing NOLs which could be used each year in those jurisdictions; however, all such NOLs are expected to be fully utilized in the future.

 

7. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per common share for all four quarters of 2015 and increased the dividend declared and paid in the first and second quarters of 2016 to $0.17 per common share. Dividends paid by the Company aggregated approximately $1,940,000 and $3,876,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $1,583,000 and $3,165,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

(A)

 

 

The 2016 period includes 32,760 shares which were used to settle minimum employee withholding tax obligations for 29 employees of approximately $701,000 in 2016. A net of 52,421 shares of common stock were delivered in 2016.

(B)   The 2015 period includes 41,136 shares which were used to settle minimum employee withholding tax obligations for 28 employees of approximately $993,000 in 2015. A net of 64,834 shares of common stock were delivered in 2015.
(C)   For purposes of this calculation, the Company’s closing stock prices were $24.90 and $22.18 per share on June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, an aggregate of 118,724 RSUs were granted to employees, which RSUs vest one-third a year over three years and had a weighted average grant date fair value of $20.22 per RSU. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, an aggregate of 77,405 RSUs were granted to employees, which RSUs vest one-third a year over three years and had an average grant date fair value of $22.41 per RSU. In each case, the grant date fair value was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable date of grant and considers the impact of dividend payments. The awards granted to employees in 2016 and 2015 are treated as equity awards and the grant date fair value is charged to compensation expense at the corporate level on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. Dividends are not paid or accrued on unvested employee RSUs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, an aggregate of 2,916 RSUs and 2,661 RSUs, respectively, were granted to non-employee directors (with an average grant date fair value of $23.64 and $25.90 per RSU, respectively) related to the equity component of their compensation. In each case, the grant date fair value was determined as of the last trading day of the quarter for which the RSUs were being received as compensation. The RSUs are immediately vested, but are not deliverable to the non-employee directors until six months after termination of their service as a director. Dividends are paid on RSUs granted to non-employee directors.

Option and RSU Expense Information

The Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of approximately $522,000 and $443,000, respectively, including $34,500 in each period related to non-employee director equity compensation, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to all stock options and RSUs accounted for as equity awards, as a component of general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of approximately $1,056,000 and $889,000, respectively, including $69,000 in each period related to non-employee director equity compensation.

 

9. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based upon the increased number of common shares that would be outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive common share options and the consideration of restricted stock awards. The following table details the computation of earnings per common share, basic and diluted:

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 statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Organization and Business

Reis, Inc. is a Maryland corporation. When we refer to “Reis” or the “Company,” we are referring to Reis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company provides commercial real estate market information and analytical tools to real estate professionals, through its Reis Services subsidiary. For disclosure and financial reporting purposes, this business is referred to as the Reis Services segment.

Reis Services

Reis Services, including its predecessors, was founded in 1980. Reis maintains a proprietary database containing detailed information on commercial properties in metropolitan markets and neighborhoods throughout the U.S. The database contains information on apartment, office, retail, warehouse/distribution, flex/research & development, self storage, seniors housing, student housing and affordable housing properties, and is used by real estate investors, lenders and other professionals to make informed buying, selling and financing decisions. In addition, Reis data is used by debt and equity investors to assess, quantify and manage the risks of default and loss associated with individual mortgages, properties, portfolios and real estate backed securities. Reis currently provides its information services to many of the nation’s leading lending institutions, equity investors, brokers and appraisers.

Product Overview

The Company’s product portfolio features: Reis SE, its flagship delivery platform aimed at larger and mid-sized enterprises; ReisReports, aimed at prosumers and smaller enterprises; Mobiuss Portfolio CRE, or Mobiuss, and other portfolio support products and services, aimed primarily at risk managers and credit administrators at banks and non-bank lending institutions. It is through these products that Reis provides online access to a proprietary database of commercial real estate information and analytical tools designed to facilitate debt and equity transactions as well as ongoing asset and portfolio evaluations. Depending on the product or level of entitlement, users have access to market trends and forecasts at metropolitan and neighborhood levels throughout the U.S. and/or detailed building-specific information such as rents, vacancy rates, lease terms, property sales, new construction listings and property valuation estimates. Reis’s products are designed to meet the demand for timely and accurate information to support the decision making of property owners, developers, builders, banks and non-bank lenders, equity investors and service providers. These real estate professionals require access to timely information on both the performance and pricing of assets, including detailed data on market transactions, supply, absorption, rents and sale prices. This information is critical to all aspects of valuing assets and financing their acquisition, development and construction.

Proprietary Databases

Reis develops and maintains three highly curated, proprietary databases which include information on property performance, new construction and sales transactions. The significant characteristics of the Reis databases include:

 

    Breadth - coverage of nine property types, including apartment, office, retail, warehouse/distribution, flex/research & development, self storage, seniors housing, student housing and affordable housing properties;

(A)   In March and June 2016, Reis enhanced its apartment and office coverage, respectively, with market reports that include new features, structural details and comparative performance analytics.
(B)   On August 1, 2016, Reis launched coverage on the affordable housing sector, its ninth property type.

Reis continues to expand its property level and market coverage by geography and property type. On August 1, 2016, Reis introduced coverage on its ninth property type, affordable housing, with information on 176 counties in 45 metropolitan areas. In addition, over the next few quarters, Reis expects to enhance its market reports in all sectors consistent with many of the enhancements made in March 2016 to its apartment market reports and in June 2016 to its office market reports. These enhancements include photographs, sector-specific details, contact information, effective rent at the property level, sales transaction history, and numerous illustrative charts and graphs, all to fortify Reis’s position as the preferred source for comparables information among all real estate professionals involved in buying, selling, leasing, or managing real estate assets. Reis expects to add similar details to property level reports in other sectors, while also introducing high level analytical modules that take a broader perspective across markets and geographies. In July 2016, Reis moved to daily reporting of apartment rent and other property information in its popular Apartment Rent Comparables report. Further development plans for the remainder of 2016 and into 2017 include a module that will allow portfolio managers and C-level executives to look for market opportunities based on Reis’s forecasts at the market and submarket level.

Reis’s core property performance database contains information on competitive, income-producing properties in the U.S. apartment, office, retail, warehouse/distribution, flex/research & development, self storage, seniors housing, student housing and affordable housing sectors. On an ongoing basis, Reis surveys and receives data downloads from building owners, leasing agents and managers which include key building performance statistics including, among others: occupancy rates; rents; rent discounts and other concessions; tenant improvement allowances; lease terms; and operating expenses. In addition, Reis processes multiple data sources on commercial real estate, including: public filings databases; tax assessor records; deed transfers; planning boards; and numerous local, regional and national publications and commercial real estate websites. Reis screens and assembles large volumes of data into integrated supply and demand trends on a monthly basis at the neighborhood (submarket) and metropolitan market levels. All collected data are subjected to a rigorous quality assurance and validation process developed over many years. At the property level, surveyors compare the data collected in the current period with data previously collected on that property and similar properties. If any unusual changes in rents and vacancies are identified, follow-up procedures are performed for verification or clarification of the results. All aggregate market data at the submarket and market levels are also subjected to comprehensive quality controls.

In addition to its core property database, Reis develops and maintains a new construction database that identifies and monitors projects that are being added to our covered markets. Detailed tracking of the supply side of the commercial real estate market is critical to projecting performance changes at the market and submarket levels. This database is updated weekly and reports relevant information such as project size, property type, location, status, and estimated completion dates for projects that are planned, proposed or under construction.

Reis also maintains a sales transactions database in up to 277 metropolitan markets. The database captures key information on each transaction, such as buyer, seller, purchase price, capitalization rate and financing details, where available, for transactions valued at greater than $250,000 in each market we cover, for our eight current property types as of June 30, 2016, as well as for hotel properties. The depth of Reis’s transactions data allows it to track capital flows into commercial real estate markets by geography and property

type. Reis has identified the expansion and enhancement of its sales transactions database as one of its primary engines of financial growth over the foreseeable future. Key investments are being made in supplying additional geographic coverage, property types, smaller transactions, licensed photographs, and tabular, graphic and textual analysis. Twenty-five new data elements were added to our sales transactions database in May 2016 and later this year, Reis plans to rollout national coverage across all property types.

Reis’s long-standing relationships with thousands of data sources, including building owners, property managers and agents, represent a unique and highly valuable asset that has required decades of investment. The Company is recognized by the industry and the business and trade press as the premier source of objective, timely and granular market information, a reputation attributable to two key factors: (1) Reis is viewed as independent as it does not compete as a broker in the listings space; and (2) Reis information is used by owners and managers in the underwriting, due diligence and marketing of properties, mortgages and real estate backed securities at both the single asset and portfolio levels.

Critical Business Metrics

Management considers certain metrics in evaluating its consolidated results and the performance of the Reis Services segment. These metrics are revenue, revenue growth, EBITDA (which is earnings (defined as income (loss) from continuing operations) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), EBITDA growth, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA (which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation), Adjusted EBITDA growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Other important metrics that management considers include the cash flow generation as well as the visibility into future performance as supported by our deferred revenue and other related metrics discussed in this Item 2.

Following is a presentation of revenue, EBITDA and EBITDA margin for the Reis Services segment and revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the related margins on a consolidated basis (excluding discontinued operations) (see below for a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for both the Reis Services segment and on a consolidated basis for each of the periods presented here).

2016 Revenue Performance

All of the Company’s revenue is generated by the Reis Services segment. Reis Services revenue decreased by approximately ($1,802,000) or (13.4)%, from the second quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2016. Reis Services revenue decreased by approximately ($109,000) or (0.4)% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 from the comparable 2015 period. Reis’s second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 represent challenging comparable reporting periods due to significant revenue successes in 2015. Below, we provide insight into both the Company’s reported results as well as how Reis’s core recurring business is performing.

Company performance in 2016 relative to the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 has been impacted by four main factors: (1) significant custom data deliverables in 2015; (2) a decline in our trailing twelve month renewal rates as we continue to implement more aggressive pricing and align pricing with customer usage; (3) a reduction in revenue from our intellectual property compliance initiatives; and (4) multi-year contracts and their effect on growth rates. The following paragraphs further describe the impact of these factors.

The Company recognized significant revenue in 2015 related to custom data deliverables for one of our existing Reis SE subscribers. The revenue recorded reflected the portion of the custom data files that was delivered in June and December 2015 and February 2016, positively impacting results for the second and fourth quarters of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. In our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and for all subsequent filings, the Company has presented pro forma adjustments to quantify the significant revenue associated with these custom data deliverables on Reis’s reported revenues and growth rates.

On a pro forma basis, excluding $2,186,000 of revenue for the custom data deliverables from the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (consistent with the pro forma presentation included in the June 30, 2015 Form 10-Q), revenue was $11,230,000 and $22,361,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. On a pro forma basis, excluding $1,200,000 of revenue for the custom data deliverables in February 2016 from the six months ended June 30, 2016, revenue was $23,238,000. Revenue growth, on a pro forma basis, was 3.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 3.9% for the six months ended June 30 2016 over the comparable 2015 periods.

The Company’s overall trailing twelve month renewal rates as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 83% and 88%, respectively (for institutional subscribers, the trailing twelve month renewal rates as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 85% and 90%, respectively). The Company has been more aggressive on renewal pricing, resulting in mid-single digit increases. Reis management believes that aligning client report consumption and value with appropriate annual fees, while remaining respectful of subscriber need for Reis information, is critical to the Company’s long-term growth and to the protection of the value of its intellectual property. Also, based upon past experience, management believes that many non-renewing customers will ultimately renew with Reis as their information and analytic needs may not be fully addressed by competitive offerings.

Reis’s revenue growth rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 have been constrained by a reduction in the dollar value of contract signings related to violations of our intellectual property rights. In 2015 and 2016, the Company has been very active in protecting its intellectual property by pursuing firms and individuals who had previously gained unauthorized access to our services. As a result of these compliance procedures, the Company has been able to generate revenue either through one-time settlement payments or by signing up the offending firm or individual to an annual or multi-year Reis SE subscription. Although the frequency of identified instances has not declined, the average contract size has slightly decreased.

Table of Contents

In order to increase the predictability of fees from our subscribers and Reis’s own revenue and cash flow, we have made a concerted effort to encourage multi-year contracts when appropriate, with terms of two or three years, and in some cases, four years. Approximately one-third of our subscribers have multi-year contracts and the average life of multi-year contracts signed in each of the last three years was approximately 2.2 years. There are significant benefits, on a selective basis, of multi-year contracts, including locking in recurring revenue for longer periods, thereby increasing the predictability of our renewal rates and future revenues. From an operational perspective, multi-year contracts free up account management resources to focus on subscribers requiring a higher level of attention and upselling opportunities across our account base. Finally, multi-year deals also insulate us from competitive pressures and increase the likeliness that Reis data and analytics will become embedded in the work flow of our clients.

In accordance with GAAP, our revenue recognition policy is to record revenue ratably over the life of a subscriber contract. Therefore any increases in the price of the subscription after the first year of a multi-year contract are considered in the total amount being straight-lined over the contract term. If a multi-year contract includes pricing steps on and after the first anniversary, there will be increasing cash flow from the contract, but no growth in revenue during the subsequent years under that contract. There has been resulting variability in our growth rates from having such a significant segment of our subscriber base under multi-year agreements which has also negatively impacted 2016 performance.

In conclusion, in light of: (1) the Company’s strong pace of new customer acquisition; (2) improving price increases on renewals; (3) a more rigorous program of enforcing and monetizing our intellectual property rights; (4) our pipeline with respect to both custom data deliverables and portfolio analytics; and (5) the array of new products and enhancements that will continue to be launched in 2016, management believes that the Company will return to positive revenue growth in 2017.

Deferred Revenue and Aggregate Revenue Under Contract

Two additional metrics management utilizes are deferred revenue and Aggregate Revenue Under Contract. Analyzing these amounts can provide additional insight into Reis Services’s future financial performance. Deferred revenue, which is a GAAP basis accounting concept and is reported by the Company on the consolidated balance sheet, represents revenue from annual or longer term contracts for which we have billed and/or received payments from our subscribers related to services we will be providing over the remaining contract period. Aggregate Revenue Under Contract is the sum of deferred revenue and future revenue under non-cancellable contracts for which we do not yet have the contractual right to bill and excludes any future revenues expected to be derived from subscribers currently being billed on a monthly basis.

Deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue ratably over the remaining life of a contract for subscriptions, or in the case of future custom reports or projects, will be recognized as revenue upon completion and delivery to the customer, provided no significant Company obligations remain. At any given date, both deferred revenue and Aggregate Revenue Under Contract can be either positively or negatively influenced by: (1) the timing and dollar value of contracts signed and billed; (2) the quantity and timing of contracts that are multi-year; and (3) the impact of recording revenue ratably over the life of a multi-year contract, which moderates the effect of price increases after the first year.

The following table reconciles deferred revenue to Aggregate Revenue Under Contract at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. A comparison of these balances at June 30 of each year is more meaningful than a comparison to the December 31, 2015 balances, as a greater percentage of renewals occur in the fourth quarter of each year and would distort the analysis.

Amounts are billable subsequent to June 30 of each year and represent (i) non-cancellable contracts for subscribers with multi-year subscriptions where the future years are not yet billable, or (ii) subscribers with non-cancellable annual subscriptions with interim billing terms.

Included in Aggregate Revenue Under Contract at June 30, 2016 was approximately $30,572,000 related to amounts under contract for the forward twelve month period through June 30, 2017. The remainder reflects amounts under contract beyond June 30, 2017. The forward twelve month Aggregate Revenue Under Contract amount is approximately 60.2% of revenue on a trailing twelve month basis at June 30, 2016 of approximately $50,782,000. For comparison purposes, at June 30, 2015, the forward twelve month Aggregate Revenue Under Contract was $32,240,000 and approximately 70.5% of revenue.

The lower amount of deferred revenue and Aggregate Revenue Under Contract is explained by a few of our institutional customers that had contracts expire at June 30, 2016, which have renewed on a month-to-month basis as contract negotiations continue. This has resulted in only one month of deferred revenue for these subscribers being included in our June 30, 2016 balances. Both deferred revenue and the forward twelve month component of Aggregate Revenue Under Contract exclude eleven months of revenue from those customers that had previously been included in the corresponding balances at June 30, 2015. Additionally, the decline in deferred revenue and Aggregate Revenue Under Contract is impacted by the decline in the overall renewal rate.

2016 Reis Services EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Performance

Reis Services EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $4,127,000 and $9,509,000, respectively. Reis Services EBITDA margins were 35.5% and 38.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the reported Reis Services EBITDA margins of 45.4% and 43.5% for the 2015 comparable periods. The margins in the 2015 periods were positively impacted by the custom data deliverable described previously which had a higher margin than our historic sales of Reis SE subscriptions. The 2016 margins were lower than historic norms as a result of the combination of expenses increasing and lower revenue.

The 2016 reported Reis Services EBITDA amounts resulted in a decrease of $(1,966,000), or (32.3)%, from the second quarter 2015 amount and a decrease of $(1,178,000), or (11.0)%, from the comparable 2015 six month period. These decreases primarily resulted from the decline in revenue as described above. Operating expenses grew by 2.2% and 7.7% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Expense increases, in general, are a result of increased employment related costs and rent related costs as more fully described in “—Results of Operations,” included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The operating expense growth rates slowed from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2016 due to lower expenses associated with commissions and performance based compensation measured on sales, revenue or EBITDA performance in the 2016 second quarter.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $3,651,000, a decrease of $(1,729,000), or (32.1)%, from the second quarter 2015 amount. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $8,280,000, a decrease of $(981,000), or (10.6)%, from the comparable 2015 six month period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA reflects the revenue and Reis Services EBITDA decreases discussed above. The consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margins were 31.4% and 33.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company continues to make significant investments in our business, including our core Reis SE platform and in our portfolio analytics offering. Management continues to pursue significant opportunities to assist client and non-client financial services firms and other real estate investors with evaluating the health of their real estate portfolios. As a result of our growth initiatives, our employee headcount is expected to increase throughout 2016 across all departments and this growth has included strategic hires in sales and operations. The pace of our database and website enhancements has accelerated and we remain committed to a rigorous schedule of product development during the remainder of 2016. These prudent investments will further the differentiation between Reis and other U.S. commercial real estate market information providers. As previously stated in the “— Management Summary” section of Item 7. of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on March 3, 2016, continuing investments and occupancy related costs will negatively impact our annual Reis Services EBITDA and consolidated

Adjusted EBITDA growth rates for 2016 and cause temporary declines in our Reis Services EBITDA and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margins in 2016. We believe that any declines will be temporary as we expect that these investments will result in additional revenue growth opportunities and margin expansion for Reis in 2017.

Trends

During 2016, Reis’s growth rates have been temporarily interrupted, primarily from the challenging comparable reporting periods described above. Management is utilizing 2016 as a year of substantial investment in both personnel and product. The investment in technology and personnel has been necessary to deepen and broaden our market coverage. To accelerate our growth and profitability, we are also adding senior management talent in operations and sales. The investments in and enhancements to our products in 2016 are a direct response to the needs of our subscribers and to maintain and expand Reis’s competitive advantage in the marketplace. However, the remainder of 2016 is expected to continue to be a difficult comparison year against 2015.

Reis has been very active in protecting its intellectual property by pursuing firms and individuals who had previously gained unauthorized access to our services. As a result of these compliance procedures, the Company has been able to generate revenue either through one-time settlement payments or by signing up the offending firm or individual to an annual or multi-year Reis SE subscription. Reis’s second quarter 2016 revenue and EBITDA growth rates have been constrained by a reduction in the dollar value of contract signings related to violations of our intellectual property rights. The declines in the size of contracts from the 2015 levels are a direct result of resolving much of the backlog of instances involving older and longer periods of non-compliance which had greater dollar values associated with the larger volume of unlicensed usage. Nonetheless, new violations are being identified each week, adding to our backlog of cases and creating new recurring revenue opportunities.

Another factor in the reduction of 2016’s revenue growth rate has been the slower than anticipated pace of sales of custom data deliverables to our existing banking clients. The Company has developed a strong sales pipeline, typically to support the internal quantitative modeling needs of banks, but the sales cycle is longer as it involves executives from risk management, financial reporting and the commercial real estate groups. With the continuing pressure being applied by regulators on banking institutions, custom data deliverables and portfolio advisory services are key tools necessary for these institutions to meet their evaluation and reporting obligations. As we exit 2016 and enter 2017 we anticipate that the marketing of these services will generate incremental revenue and EBITDA growth.

Consistent with the trend over the past many years, contract signings (both for new business and renewals) will be weighted to the second half of the year and in particular to the fourth quarter. Over the past six years, approximately 33% to 38% of contract signings have occurred in the fourth quarter. Management believes that with the product enhancement releases that have occurred thus far in 2016 and imminent additional releases, we will be able to capture additional market share and position Reis for accelerating revenue and EBITDA growth in 2017.

Reconciliations of Income from Continuing Operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as earnings (income (loss) from continuing operations) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation. Although EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, senior management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure operational and management performance. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate supplemental financial measures to be considered in addition to the reported GAAP basis financial information which may assist investors in evaluating and understanding: (1) the performance of the Reis Services segment, the primary business of the Company and (2) the Company’s continuing consolidated results, from year to year or period to period, as applicable. Further, these measures provide the reader with the ability to understand our operational performance while isolating non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as other non-operating items, such as interest income, interest expense and income taxes and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, isolates non-cash charges for stock based compensation. Management also believes that disclosing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA will provide better comparability to other companies in the information services sector. However, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented both for the Reis Services segment and on a consolidated basis. We believe that these metrics, for Reis Services, provide the reader with valuable information for evaluating the financial performance of the core Reis Services business, excluding public company costs, and for making assessments about the intrinsic value of that stand-alone business to a potential acquirer. Management primarily monitors and measures its performance, and is compensated, based on the results of the Reis Services segment. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, on a consolidated basis, allow the reader to make assessments about the current trading value of the Company’s common stock, including expenses related to operating as a public company. However, investors should not consider

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

Subscription revenues and related cost of sales were approximately $11,614,000 and $2,494,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which resulted in a gross profit for the Reis Services segment of approximately $9,120,000. Amortization expense included in cost of sales (for the database intangible asset) was approximately $658,000 during this period. Subscription revenues and related cost of sales were approximately $13,416,000 and $2,134,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which resulted in a gross profit for the Reis Services segment of approximately $11,282,000. Amortization expense included in cost of sales was approximately $507,000 during this period. See “— Critical Business Metrics of the Reis Services Business” for a discussion of the variances and trends in revenue and EBITDA of the Reis Services segment. The increase in cost of sales of $360,000 resulted from greater employment related costs, specifically from hiring during 2015 and the first six months of 2016, coupled with compensation increases and higher benefit costs than in the 2015 period of $209,000 and a $151,000 increase in amortization expense for database costs.

Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $3,025,000 and $3,461,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and solely represented costs of the Reis Services segment. Amortization expense included in sales and marketing expenses (for the customer relationships intangible asset) was approximately $234,000 and $238,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses between the two periods of approximately $436,000 resulted from lower commission expense, primarily from the large custom data sale in the 2015 period (with no corresponding sale in the 2016 period) and lower performance based bonus accruals in the period.

Product development expenses were approximately $1,016,000 and $889,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and solely represented costs of the Reis Services segment. Amortization expense included in product development expenses (for the website intangible asset) was approximately $466,000 and $459,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Product development costs increased $127,000, primarily due to increased employment related costs from hiring during 2015 and the first six months of 2016, coupled with compensation increases and higher benefit costs than in the 2015 period.

General and administrative expenses of approximately $3,536,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 included current period expenses of approximately $2,786,000, depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $228,000 for the lease value intangible asset and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and approximately $522,000 of net non-cash compensation expense. The net non-cash compensation expense was comprised of equity awards for employees and directors. General and administrative expenses of approximately $3,383,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included current period expenses of approximately $2,756,000, depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $184,000 for the lease value intangible asset and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and approximately $443,000 of net non-cash compensation expense. The net non-cash compensation expense was comprised of equity awards for employees and directors. Excluding the non-cash expenses, the net increase in general and

administrative expenses of $30,000 was primarily the result of increases for professional fees and increased occupancy related costs from office space expansion, offset by lower performance based bonus accruals in the period.

Interest expense of $28,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was comprised of unused facility fees and deferred financing cost amortization on the Company’s revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the Revolver. There was no outstanding balance on the Revolver during the three months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.

Income tax expense of $580,000 for continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2016 reflected current Federal AMT expense of $79,000, current state and local tax expense of $99,000 and deferred Federal tax expense of $434,000, offset by a deferred state and local tax benefit of $32,000. Income tax expense of $601,000 for continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2015 reflected deferred Federal tax expense of $1,104,000, current state and local tax expense of $96,000 and $43,000 of current Federal AMT expense, offset by a deferred state and local tax benefit of $642,000. The 2015 deferred state and local tax benefit reflected a change in the New York City law which resulted in a variation between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate in the period.

Income from discontinued operations was $1,138,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and primarily reflected $2,350,000 of recoveries from settlements with certain parties to the Gold Peak litigation (as more fully described in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q), offset by legal and professional fees of $457,000 and income tax expense of $755,000. There were no discontinued operations activities in the 2016 period.

Product development expenses were approximately $2,021,000 and $1,752,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and solely represented costs of the Reis Services segment.

General and administrative expenses of approximately $7,621,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included current period expenses of approximately $6,149,000, depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $416,000 for the lease value intangible asset and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and approximately $1,056,000 of net non-cash compensation expense. The net non-cash compensation expense was comprised of equity awards for employees and directors. General and administrative expenses of approximately $6,704,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included current period expenses of approximately $5,449,000, depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $366,000 for the lease value intangible asset and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and approximately $889,000 of net non-cash compensation expense. The net non-cash compensation expense was comprised of equity awards for employees and directors. Excluding the non-cash expenses, the net increase in general and administrative expenses of $700,000 was primarily the result of increases for professional fees and increased occupancy related costs from the office space expansion, offset by lower performance based bonus accruals in the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The core Reis Services business has traditionally generated significant cash annually; and we expect it to continue to do so. Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance aggregated approximately $26,554,000 at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $(2,104,000) from the December 31, 2015 balance of approximately $28,658,000. Although the Company had cash flows provided by its operating activities of $8,222,000, the Company’s cash position decreased as a result of making investments in its websites and databases of $4,461,000, spending on tenant improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment of approximately $1,262,000, paying aggregate dividends of approximately $3,876,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and utilizing approximately $701,000 to settle minimum employee withholding tax obligations on vested RSUs in February 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity requirements include: current operating and capitalizable costs, including accounts payable and other accrued expenses; near-term product development and enhancement of the website and databases either through building with Company resources or through acquisitions; operating leases; growth in operating expenses from a further increase in the number of Reis employees and additional resources being devoted to our sales and marketing efforts; other costs, including public company expenses not included in the Reis Services segment; tenant improvements and related spending for new corporate headquarters space; the resolution of open tax years with state and local tax authorities; payment of employee taxes on vested equity awards, for which the employee uses shares to settle his/her minimum withholding tax obligations with the Company; and the use of cash for the payment of quarterly dividends. The Company expects to meet these short-term and long-term liquidity requirements generally through the use of available cash and cash generated from subscription revenue of Reis Services and, if necessary, with borrowings under the Revolver, and/or proceeds from the sale of Reis stock. Certain costs associated with the buildout of the new corporate headquarters will be funded by the landlord.

In January 2016, Reis Services and Capital One executed an amended and restated loan and security agreement for a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility, which expires on January 28, 2019. For additional information regarding the Revolver, see Note 5 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this filing.

In June 2015, the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 was declared effective. The shelf registration statement permits the offering, issuance and sale of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $75,000,000 of the Company’s stock from time to time for three years. Any determinations about the issuance of new common shares will be at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and the use of proceeds, unless otherwise indicated, will be for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions. Management will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds. The Company has no immediate plans to issue shares under the shelf registration statement.

The Company has NOLs that it expects to utilize against future Federal, state and local taxable income. The use of certain NOLs for New York State and New York City purposes will be subject to an annual limitation and, therefore, any taxable income in excess of the limitation will be subject to tax. Tax payments related to 2016 are expected to be for state and local taxes based on income, in excess of limitation amounts, and Federal AMT.

The Company may determine to use its cash to: (1) acquire or invest in other databases or information companies that have logical adjacencies or complementary products or services; (2) repurchase shares of Reis common stock; or (3) pay a special dividend, or increase its recurring quarterly dividend. There can be no assurance that the Company will use its cash for any of these purposes during 2016, or thereafter.

The Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per common share for all four quarters of 2015 and increased the dividend declared and paid in the first and second quarters of 2016 to $0.17 per common share. Dividends paid by the Company aggregated $3,876,000 and $3,165,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Changes in Cash Flows

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are summarized as follows:

 

     For the Six Months Ended June 30,   
  2016     2015  

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

   $ 8,221,864           $ 16,152,031       

 

Cash (used in) investing activities

    (5,720,963)           (2,476,751)      

 

Net cash (used in) financing activities

    (4,604,777)           (4,190,568)      
 

 

 

   

 

 

 

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents

   $ (2,103,876)           $ 9,484,712       
 

 

 

   

 

 

 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $(7,930,000) from $16,152,000 provided in the 2015 period to $8,222,000 provided in the 2016 period. This decrease was primarily the result of decreased operating cash flow of $(5,580,000) from the Reis Services segment from $15,901,000 provided in the 2015 period to $10,321,000 provided in the 2016 period due to declines in revenue and EBITDA as described elsewhere herein, as well as the impact of net cash provided from discontinued operations primarily due to the collection of $2,350,000 of litigation recoveries in 2015 with no 2016 equivalent.

Cash used in investing activities increased $3,244,000 from $2,477,000 used in the 2015 period to $5,721,000 used in the 2016 period. This change resulted primarily from a $1,110,000 increase in purchases of furniture, fixtures and equipment in the 2016 period for office space expansion, coupled with a $2,136,000 increase of cash used in the 2016 period as compared to the 2015 period for website and database development costs for continuing product development initiatives. The expectation for the remainder of 2016 is that cash used for website and database development will continue to exceed amounts capitalized in 2015.

Net cash used in financing activities were $4,605,000 and $4,191,000 in the 2016 and 2015 periods, respectively. The 2016 period includes approximately $3,876,000 for dividends declared and paid in the six months ended June 30, 2016, $701,000 used to settle minimum employee withholding tax obligations on vested RSUs and $181,000 of deferred financing costs related to the expansion and extension of the Revolver, offset by proceeds received from employees for option exercises of $153,000. The 2015 period includes approximately $3,165,000 for dividends declared and paid in the six months ended June 30, 2015, $993,000 used to settle minimum employee withholding tax obligations on vested RSUs and $89,000 related to costs incurred in connection with the shelf registration statement filed in the second quarter of 2015, offset by proceeds received from employees for option exercises of $56,000.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company’s primary market risk exposure has been to changes in interest rates. This risk may be managed by limiting the Company’s financing exposures, to the extent possible, by purchasing interest rate caps when deemed appropriate.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s only potential exposure to interest rates was on variable rate based debt. This exposure has historically been minimized through the use of interest rate caps. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and throughout 2015, the Company did not have any interest rate caps. No debt was outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. For more information about the Company’s debt, see Note 5 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this filing.

Reis holds cash and cash equivalents at various regional and national banking institutions. Management monitors the institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Management’s emphasis is primarily on safety of principal. Management, in its discretion, has diversified Reis’s cash and cash equivalents among banking institutions to potentially minimize exposure to any one of these entities. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

Cash balances held at banking institutions with which we do business generally exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. While management monitors the cash balances in these bank accounts, such cash balances could be impacted if the underlying banks fail or could be subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016 were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

As disclosed in Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this filing, the Company is not a party to any litigation that could reasonably be foreseen to be material to the Company, and the disclosure set forth in such Note 10 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.
