The Company may, from time to time, make written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and its reports to stockholders.  Such forward-looking statements are made based on management’s belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management pursuant to “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, competition from other real estate companies, the ability of the Company to obtain financing for projects, and the continuing operations of tenants.

 

 

PART I

 

Item 1. Business.

 

Security Land and Development Corporation (the “Company”) was organized and incorporated in Georgia in 1970.  The Company, including its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Royal Palms Motel, Inc., SLDC, LLC, SLDC2, LLC and SLDC III, LLC, has developed two (2) primary business activities, these activities being (1) the acquisition of undeveloped land for investment purposes and sale at a future date or development of the land and sale after developed and, (2) the acquisition or development of income producing properties for investment purposes and income from leasing activities.  The Company’s principal office is in Augusta, Georgia and principal activities are in Augusta, Georgia, Evans, Georgia, and North Augusta, South Carolina.

 

The Company’s primary development and income producing activities are:

 

  1. Retail strip center on 14.24 acres on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia (the “National Plaza”).  Approximately 56,000 square feet is leased to Publix Supermarkets, Inc. (“Publix”) who operates a retail food supermarket.  The remaining approximately 13,000 square feet of rental space is available for lease to additional tenants.  At September 30, 2016, approximately 10,400 square feet of this remaining space was leased. 

 

  1. An outparcel of National Plaza that is 0.89 acres and is leased commercially under a 20-year ground-lease to an auto-repair service operation.

 

  1. Long-term ground lease ("Evans Ground Lease") on approximately 17 acres in Evans, Georgia at the intersection of Washington Road and Industrial Park Drive to Lowe's, a national home improvement retailer.  

 

  1. Commercial building on Wrightsboro Road in Augusta, Georgia.  Approximately 25,000 square feet is currently leased to a retailer.  The building includes an additional 27,000 square feet of warehouse space that is for lease as of September 30, 2016.

The Company owns certain other properties that are more fully described in Item 2, “Properties.”

 

In January of 2007 construction of the Evans Ground Lease was completed and the Company began collecting full monthly rent.  The Evans Ground Lease represents approximately 35% of the Company’s net leased assets at September 30, 2016.  Rent revenue, including monthly rent, recognition of previously deferred revenue and property taxes from the Evans Ground Lease represented 40% and 45% of the Company’s total gross rent revenue for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The Company also expects the long-term ground lease in Evans, Georgia to provide a substantial portion of the Company’s revenue from leasing in future years. 

 

Construction of the National Plaza was completed in May 1995 and the lease with Publix became effective May 15, 1995.  National Plaza represents approximately 38% of the Company’s net leased assets at September 30, 2016.  Rent revenue, including monthly rent, recognition of previously deferred revenue, property taxes and common area maintenance from the lease with Publix Supermarkets, Inc. represented 35% and 40% of the Company’s total gross rent revenue for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Management of the Company expects this lease to continue to provide a substantial portion of the Company’s revenue from leasing.   See Item 2, “Properties” for additional information related to these properties and the lease agreements.

 

In September of 2015 the Company purchased a Commercial building on 3.5 acres of land located on Wrightsboro Road in Augusta, Georgia.  The building is currently partially leased to a local retailer.  The Wrightsboro Road property represents approximately 27% of the Company’s net leased assets at September 30, 2016.  Rent revenue, including monthly rent, recognition of previously deferred revenue, property taxes and common area maintenance from this lease represented 9% of the Company’s total gross rent revenue for the year ended September 30, 2016.  No rents related to this lease were due or collected for the year ended September 30, 2015 as the tenant’s rent commenced on October 1, 2015.

 

The Company owns additional undeveloped land parcels in and around the Augusta, Georgia and North Augusta, South Carolina area that are being held for investment purposes. Management of the Company believes that the market value of the property owned is greater than its carrying value. The Company presently has four employees, all of whom are officers and/or stockholders of the Company.  

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company, as a smaller reporting company, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company owns developed and undeveloped real estate in several locations in the State of Georgia and one undeveloped parcel in North Augusta, South Carolina.  There are no limitations on the percentage of assets which may be invested in any one property or type of property.  The Company acquires various properties for investment purposes and for leasing activities.

 

The Company currently owns the following properties in fee simple interest:

 

  1. Retail strip center on approximately 14.24 acres on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia (the “National Plaza”).

 

  1. An outparcel of the National Plaza of 0.89 acres that is frontage property to Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia.

Description of real estate and operating data:

 

The Company holds approximately 12.54 acres of land in Evans, Georgia on Belair Road and North Belair Road Extension, at Washington Road.  The land was purchased in five transactions.  Initially, the Company acquired a two-thirds interest in 7.09 acres of land, with the remaining one-third interest held by two individuals, one of which is a principal stockholder and member of the Board of Directors.  In 2000, the remaining one-third interest in the 7.09 acres of land was acquired from two individuals that each owned a one-sixth interest.  One of the individuals that owned a one-sixth interest in the property is a principal stockholder and member of the Board of Directors of the Company.  The aggregate purchase price of the land was $522,846.  A third transaction, in 2000, was a purchase of approximately 3.86 acres in Evans, Georgia adjacent to the purchased property previously described.  The land was jointly owned by principal stockholders and members of the Board of Directors of the Company and their families, and was acquired by the Company from these individuals.  The purchase price of the land was $371,970.  In a fourth transaction, the Company purchased an additional 1.03 acres for $342,122 on Old Evans Road in Evans, Georgia that adjoins the above-described properties.  And in the fifth and final transaction in 2004, the Company acquired a corner parcel of 0.79 acres adjoining the previously described three parcels from a member of the Board of Directors.  The cost of the parcel acquired in 2004, was $467,874.  The Company's net book value of the investment properties acquired in these five transactions of $1,679,612, including the cost of improvements thereon, is approximately 14% of the Company’s total assets at September 30, 2016.  The Company has a Federal tax basis in the investment property of $1,044,109.  The Company signed a long-term ground lease for the development of a Lowe’s home improvement store on this property as well as the 4.61 acres, discussed below, during 2006. The Company began earning revenue related to the long-term ground lease on the approximately 18 acres in Columbia County, Georgia during the 3rd Quarter of 2006.  The Company received $20,833 in monthly rent until the January 2007 expiration of the development period.  Following the expiration of the development period, the lease requires annual rental payments of $500,000 for the first 5 years then increasing 5% in years 6, 11, and 16.  The lease has an option to renew at year 21 and another option every 5 years thereafter for a possible total lease term of 50 years.  The lease provides for the tenant to pay for insurance and property taxes. A note payable to an insurance company is collateralized with the property and an assignment of the long-term ground lease.  The note is payable in monthly installments of $17,896 including interest, through May 1, 2027, and bears interest of a fixed rate of 5.85%.  The balance of the loan was $1,701,024 at September 30, 2016.  Property taxes paid on this property and the 4.61 acres described above in 2016 totaled $122,446. 

 

In 2001, the Company purchased an office building with land totaling approximately 4.61 acres located on Old Evans Road in Evans, Georgia.  The property was purchased with replacement property funds held by a third party from a tax-deferred like-kind exchange transaction during 2000 of $511,726 and with approximately $250,000 of proceeds from a note payable.  The office building was demolished during 2006.  The Company's net book value in this property is $703,061 at September 30, 2016.  For tax purposes, the Company recognized a loss of $236,859 on the demolition of the building in 2006.  The Company's Federal tax basis in the property is approximately $173,198 at September 30, 2016.  There is no outstanding debt on this property at September 30, 2016.  Prior to the demolition, the property, excluding land cost, was being depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over 39 years.  The property adjoins the 12.77 acres of land in Evans, Georgia.  In July 2009, the Company sold an easement consisting of approximately .52 acres of the total Evans Ground Lease tract for $300,000.  The Company recognized a gain of approximately $195,000.  The proceeds were used by the Company to pay down debt related to an outstanding note payable collateralized by the Evans Ground Lease and related land and to compensate the Evans Ground Lease tenant per the related lease agreement.  The Company’s management does not feel that the easement sale had any adverse impact on the existing lease or the Company’s ability to lease the land going forward.  In July 2013, the Company sold approximately .24 acres of the total Evans Ground Lease tract for $156,000.  The Company recognized a gain of approximately $108,000.  The proceeds were used by the Company to pay down debt related to an outstanding note payable collateralized by the Evans Ground Lease and related land and to compensate the Evans Ground Lease tenant per the related lease agreement.

 

The Company's net book value of National Plaza, $2,645,448 at September 30, 2016, amounts to approximately 23% of the Company’s total assets at September 30, 2016.

Construction of National Plaza was completed in May 1995.  National Plaza has 69,000 square feet of available lease space.  National Plaza was constructed with the intention of being operated as a retail strip center and is considered suitable and adequate for such purpose.  The Company has leased 56,000 square feet to Publix, which, as National Plaza’s anchor tenant, operates a retail food supermarket.  The Company, as lessor, has a twenty-year lease agreement with Publix.  The lease became effective May 15, 1995.  The lease provides for annual rentals of $463,200, and for the Company to receive 1.25% of this Publix store’s annual gross sales in excess of approximately $37 million.  For the Company’s years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the supermarket had not achieved this sales level.  The lease also provides for Publix to reimburse the Company for property taxes paid on the facility on a pro rata basis of the space occupied by Publix.  For 2016, the amount billed was $57,307. The original lease term expired in June of 2015 and the tenant exercised an option for an additional 5 years.  At the lessee’s option the lease may be extended in five-year increments for an additional 15 years on substantially the same lease terms.  As part of the lease agreement, Publix contributed approximately $493,000 to the construction of National Plaza.  The Company capitalized this contribution and recognized the related revenue over the original twenty-year life of the lease. 

 

The Company financed National Plaza with a $4,300,000 loan, with interest that was fixed at 7.875%.  Annual principal and interest payments totaled $427,596.  This note was paid in full in March 2015.  As of September 30, 2016, the Company has no outstanding debt on this property, however, it is being used as collateral for other Company financing as described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 3- Notes Payable.  The property is located on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia.  Washington Road in Augusta is the location of numerous business establishments, including competing retail strip centers, and is a corridor for a high volume of traffic, providing potential customers for the Company’s tenants.  The Company’s operation of National Plaza is dependent upon management’s ability to maintain an anchor tenant and to maintain a high occupancy of the 13,000 square feet available for lease to other tenants.  The Company competes with other retail strip centers in the area to maintain stable occupancy.  Management of the Company believes that the location and visibility of National Plaza provides for favorable conditions for maintaining occupancy.  At September 30, 2016, the Company had leased 80% of the 13,000 square feet not leased to Publix.  These individual leases have terms averaging five years, with monthly lease payments including contributions for common area maintenance (“CAM”), real estate taxes and insurance ranging from $1,517 to $6,761.  Following is selected statistical information regarding National Plaza at September 30, 2016:

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Company’s primary business activities are the acquisition, development and leasing of developed and undeveloped real estate.  The objectives of the Company are capital appreciation from real estate investments and income from leasing.

 

The Company believes that the market value of much of the real estate owned by the Company is greater than its original cost.  The Company believes that the continued development and decreasing supply of vacant land in the Augusta, Georgia area has resulted in substantial appreciation in value in many of the Company’s investment properties.  These appreciated investment properties are available as a source of capital to the Company.

 

Critical Accounting Policies:

 

Estimates of Useful Lives of Investment Properties for Purposes of Depreciation

Company management has estimated the useful lives of investment properties, except for land, that are leased, and Company management utilizes the straight-line method to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the investment properties.  Actual depreciation of investment properties will vary from management’s estimates, and the value of investment properties is more directly impacted by market conditions and the physical condition of the investment properties. 

 

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets for Impairment

Company management evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of investment properties may not be recoverable.  In evaluating recoverability, Company management generally estimates future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  An impairment loss is recognized when the expected future cash flows of the asset are less than the carrying amount.

 

Estimates of Income Tax Rates Applicable to Deferred Taxes

Company management has deferred income taxes through a series of tax-deferred like-kind exchange transactions on certain investment properties and through accelerated depreciation elections on certain other assets.  Company management has estimated deferred income tax liabilities of $1,406,668 at September 30, 2016.  Actual income taxes that may become due when taxable gains are realized on the sale of assets may differ from management’s estimates as a result of changes in tax laws, the tax status of the Company, or the actual taxable earnings of the Company in the periods the deferred income taxes become due.

Years Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

 

National Plaza consists of approximately 69,000 square feet.  Approximately 56,000 square feet is leased to Publix as the investment property’s anchor tenant.  See Item 2, “Properties” for additional information regarding the lease agreement with Publix.  The remaining 13,000 square feet is available for lease to additional tenants.  This additional space was approximately 80% and 70% leased as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Attempts are being made to lease vacant space.  Also see Item 2, “Properties” for effective rental rates and lease expirations related to this property.  Rent revenue from Publix and National Plaza increased slightly as compared with the prior years due to leasing an available 1,300 square foot to One Main Financial and temporary rental of the vacant lots within National Plaza. In May 2006, the Company entered into a long-term ground lease with Lowes, a national home improvement retailer, with a portion of total monthly rent due during the construction period, which was completed in January 2007. See Item 2, “Properties” for additional information regarding the Evans Ground Lease.  Management expects both of the above two lease arrangements to continue to provide a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues.  In addition, rental revenues increased in 2016 due to the addition of the retail lease related to the Wrightsboro Road property purchased in September 2015.

 

Operating expenses increased by $53,772 (6%) from 2015.  Operating costs of the Company consists mainly of the costs of managing National Plaza and property taxes related to the Company’s land holding portfolio.  This increase was due primarily to repairs to the roof at National Plaza.  Company management expects operating expenses for 2017 to decrease relative to 2016 as the Company anticipates repairs in 2017 will be less significant than those incurred in 2016.

 

Interest expense decreased by $14,367 (8%) from 2015.  The Company’s interest costs relate to outstanding debt on the Company’s land holdings as discussed above in Item 2, “Properties”.  Continued amortization of outstanding debt balances resulted in decreased interest expense in 2016.  Company management expects interest expense for 2017 to decline from interest expense for the current fiscal year as the outstanding debt continues to amortize.

 

In June of 2015, the Company sold approximately 1 acre of undeveloped land previously included as part of National Plaza adjoining Stanley Drive and a residential house located on Stanley Drive resulting in a gain on sale of $1,862,235.

 

Other income for 2015 consisted primarily of the reversal of an accrual related to a tenant’s claim brought about in 2011 for reimbursement of certain expenses charged.  The Company accrued $150,000 related to this claim and the tenant’s related unsettled balance.  The claim was resolved in 2015 and the related tenant paid the disputed balance in full and there is no further liability anticipated. The income was recognized as other income.

 

Liquidity and Sources of Capital:

 

The percentage of current assets to current liabilities was 202% at September 30, 2016, and was 160% at September 30, 2015.  Management of the Company expects future liquidity needs of the Company to be funded from rent revenues, refinancing and the appreciation in investment properties (which can be sold or mortgaged, if necessary).

 

Current maturities of notes payable will require the Company to make payments in fiscal year 2017 totaling $250,418.  The Company projects that it will be able to fund the payment of its current maturities of notes payable through cash flows generated from its operations and cash on hand, but there can be no assurance that this will occur.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s cash flow from operations is approximately $395,062 while current maturities of debt are approximately $250,418.  If the Company experiences cash flow shortages and is unable to generate adequate cash flows from operations to fund current debt maturities and other obligations, the Company’s management intends to seek additional financing from other sources but there can be no assurance that this will occur.  In the past, the Company has been successful in seeking additional financing.  These sources of capital include selling certain of its fully owned and un-collateralized assets or borrowing money from certain stockholders.

 

In November of 2016, the Company obtained a $3,000,000 line of credit from a regional financial institution to finance probable equity transactions.

 

Capital Expenditure Commitments:

 

-8-

 


 

 

 

The Company currently has no significant commitments for capital expenditures for the next twelve months.

 

 

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.  Our market risk arises principally from the risk inherent in the credit quality of our tenants.  Company management regularly evaluates the individual tenants considering their financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors

Security Land and Development Corporation

Augusta, Georgia

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security Land and Development Corporation (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security Land and Development Corporation as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SECURITY LAND AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES

 

Business activities

Security Land and Development Corporation (“the Company”) is engaged in the acquisition of developed and undeveloped real estate to be held for investment purposes or to be developed and leased as income producing property.  Substantially all investment properties held and leased by the Company are located within the State of Georgia, in Richmond and Columbia counties and in North Augusta, South Carolina.

 

Royal Palms Motel, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Land and Development Corporation, is a holding company for a parcel of land in Richmond County, Georgia.  During 2004, the Company organized, as its sole member, SLDC, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company. During 2007, the Company organized, as its sole member, SLDC2, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company.  During 2008, the Company organized, as its sole member, SLDC III, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company.  SLDC, LLC, SLDC2, LLC, and SLDC III, LLC were organized by the Company to hold title to certain real estate that the Company plans to develop.

 

During 2016 and 2015, substantially all operating revenues and operating expenses were related to real estate leasing.  A substantial portion of rent revenues were earned from two investment properties, a commercial retail center, consisting of approximately 69,000 square feet on Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia (“National Plaza”) and the Evans Ground Lease on Washington Road in Evans, Georgia (“Evans Ground Lease”).   National Plaza provided approximately 51% of gross rent revenue in 2016 and 55% in 2015.  Approximately 81% of National Plaza was leased to a regional food supermarket, with annual rents from the lease totaling $463,200.  National Plaza comprises approximately 38% of the asset Investment Properties for Lease, net of Accumulated Depreciation.  The Evans Ground Lease provided approximately 40% and 45% of gross rental revenue in 2016 and 2015, respectively.  This property, leased to a national home improvement retailer, earned rents totaling approximately $539,000 in both 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The Evans Ground Lease comprises approximately 35% of investment properties held for lease, net, by the Company at September 30, 2016. 

 

In June of 2015 the Company sold approximately 1 acre of undeveloped land previously included as part of National Plaza adjoining Stanley Drive and a residential house located on Stanley Drive resulting in a gain on sale of $1,862,235.

 

In September of 2015 the Company purchased a commercial building on 3.5 acres of land located on Wrightsboro Road in Augusta, Georgia.  The building is partially leased to a local retailer with a rental period beginning October 1, 2015.  The Wrightsboro Road property represents approximately 27% of the Company’s net leased assets at September 30, 2016.  The Wrightsboro Road lease provided approximately 9% of gross rental revenue in 2016. 

 

 

Basis of presentation

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Security Land and Development Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Royal Palms Motel, Inc., SLDC, LLC, SLDC2, LLC, and SLDC III, LLC (described on a consolidated basis as the “Company”).  All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

The consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

Rent revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease agreements.  The Company is reimbursed by tenants for property taxes and other maintenance fees.  These reimbursements billed totaled $269,373 and $264,156, which is included in rent revenue, for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

(Continued)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

 

Revenue recognition, continued

Gains, or losses, realized from sales of real estate are recognized substantially when title to the property has passed and the risks and benefits of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.

 

Investment properties

Investment properties are stated at cost.  Depreciation of the investment properties is computed principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Buildings for lease

  

30 - 40 years

Land improvements on property for lease

 

15 years

Fixtures and furnishings

  

5 - 7 years

 

Major renewals or improvements on investment properties are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense when incurred.  Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of investment properties, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in income in the period of disposition.

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating recoverability, the Company generally estimates future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  An impairment loss is recognized when the expected future cash flows of the asset is less than the carrying amount. The Company measures the impairment loss as the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. At September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company believes that none of its long-lived assets are impaired.

 

Receivables from tenants

Receivables from tenants consist of rents, property taxes and other maintenance fees payable under the terms of lease agreements.  Receivables are carried at original invoice amount.  Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual tenant receivables and considering the collectability of balances due based on each tenant’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions.  Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recognized in income when received.  The Company has an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $53,809 and $52,255 at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

 

Lease commissions

Lease commissions are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related leases, using the straight-line method.  Lease commissions, net of accumulated amortization, of $22,343 and $27,401 at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Loan Fees

Loan fees are capitalized and amortized over the term of the loan using the straight-line method.  Loan fees, net of accumulated amortization, were $47,284 and $51,952 at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Loan fees are included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Income taxes

The Company files a consolidated income tax return.  Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.  Deferred taxes are adjusted for changes in tax  laws  and tax rates when those  changes are enacted.

 

 

 

 

 

 (Continued)

 

 

-15-

 


 

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

 

Income taxes, continued

The Company has adopted the provisions under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.  A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in its financial statements.  Management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2016 and 2015. 

 

Statements of equity

There were no changes in equity other than net income for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Net income per common share

Net income per common share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding.  The Company has no stock option plans, or other instruments resulting in earnings per share dilution.  For 2016 and 2015 the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 5,243,107.  Therefore, only basic net income per common share is presented.

 

Recently issued accounting standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to change the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers in future periods. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. The guidance will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions.  The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and the implementation approach to be used.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that is intended to define 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. In connection with preparing financial statements, management will need to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The guidance will be effective for the Company for the annual period ending September 30, 2017, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.               

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item, which is an event or transaction that is both (1) unusual in nature and (2) infrequently occurring. Under the new guidance, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

 

Recently issued accounting standards, continued

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance which amends the consolidation requirements and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP. Although the amendments are expected to result in the deconsolidation of many entities, the Company will need to reevaluate all its previous consolidation conclusions. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted (including during an interim period), provided that the guidance is applied as of the beginning of the annual period containing the adoption date. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In June 2015, the FASB issued amendments to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), correct unintended application of guidance, and make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments were effective upon issuance (June 12, 2015) for amendments that do not have transition guidance. Amendments that are subject to transition guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued amendments to the Interest topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements. The amendments were effective upon issuance. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. As a result of the deferral, the guidance in ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued amendments to the Interest topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements. The amendments were effective upon issuance. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB amended the Income Taxes topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments will be effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.  The Company will apply the guidance prospectively. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB amended the Leases topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to revise certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing transactions. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB amended the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and address how an entity should assess whether it is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or more parties.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES, Continued

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including the income tax consequences, the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. Additionally, the guidance simplifies two areas specific to entities other than public business entities allowing them apply a practical expedient to estimate the expected term for all awards with performance or service conditions that have certain characteristics and also allowing them to make a one-time election to switch from measuring all liability-classified awards at fair value to measuring them at intrinsic value. The amendments will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods-public business entities. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements. 

 

In April 2016, the FASB amended the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify guidance related to identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In May 2016, the FASB amended the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify guidance related to collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB amended the Statement of Cash Flows topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Concentrations

Substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of real estate located in Richmond and Columbia Counties in the State of Georgia, and in North Augusta, South Carolina.  In 2016 and 2015, approximately 99% and 42%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were rental related revenue, and approximately 0% and 53%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were related to the sale of investment property.  In 2016 and 2015, approximately 51% and 55%, respectively, of the Company’s rental revenues were earned from National Plaza.  Approximately 81% of National Plaza is leased to one tenant, a regional food supermarket.  Approximately 40% and 45% of the Company’s rental revenues in 2016 and 2015, respectively, were earned from the Evans Ground Lease, which is 100% leased to a major national home improvement retailer.

 

The majority of the Company’s receivables from tenants at September 30, 2016 and 2015 were receivable from two tenants, the regional food supermarket that leases property at National Plaza, and the major national home improvement retailer under the Evans Ground Lease.

 

The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions. At times the Company’s cash balances may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

 

Subsequent events

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements.  Unrecognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.

Depreciation expense totaled $186,526 and $159,345 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Approximately 81% of National Plaza is leased to a regional food supermarket.  The lease requires minimum annual rental payments of $463,200.  The original term expired in 2015 and the tenant exercised a 5 year option.  This lease is renewable for a total of an additional 15 years at substantially similar lease terms.  The lease provides for the supermarket to pay for interior maintenance and utilities and property taxes on a proportional basis.

 

The lease agreement also provides for the Company to receive each year 1.25% of the individual supermarket’s gross sales in excess of approximately $37 million. For 2016 and 2015, the supermarket did not achieve this gross sales level.

 

In construction of National Plaza, the supermarket contributed approximately $493,000 to the cost of the construction.  The Company recorded the $493,000 as deferred revenue and recognized $24,652 as revenue annually using the straight-line method over the original twenty-year life of the lease with the supermarket.

 

In 2003, the Company entered into a 20-year ground lease arrangement on an outparcel of National Plaza.  The ground lease provides for minimum rent of $45,000 annually, for the first 10 years of the lease.  The minimum rent increases by approximately 10% after year 10 and then again after year 15 of the ground lease.  Other lease agreements at National Plaza range in terms from one to five years.

 

The Company entered into a long-term ground lease with a major national home improvement retailer tenant and its developer in May 2006 on the approximately 18 acres of land in Columbia County, Georgia.  The agreement required monthly rental payments of $20,833 during the development period, which was completed in January of 2007.  Following the expiration of the development period, the lease requires annual rental payments of $500,000 for the first 5 years then increasing 5% in years 6, 11, and 16.  The lease has an option to renew at year 21 and another option every 5 years thereafter for a possible total lease term of 50 years.  The lease provides for the tenant to pay for insurance and property taxes.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company purchases insurance from an insurance company of which a member of the Company’s Board of Directors is President Emeritus.  The Company’s Board of Directors believes that the insurance prices obtained from such company were not in excess of prices that would have been paid had the Company obtained this insurance from other sources.

 

During the fiscal year 2016, the Company paid $6,300 to a stockholder who is also the son of the President for accounting services.  The Company believes the amount paid is not in excess of prices that would have been paid had the Company obtained these services from other sources.

 

The Company hired an attorney who is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.  This attorney was hired to represent the Company in defending a claim brought by a tenant in relation to disputed lease related charges.  This issue was resolved in 2015.  Total fees paid to the attorney during the year ended September 30, 2015 were $8,807.  In addition, in 2015, this same attorney was paid an additional $25,000 related to other Company matters not associated with litigation. No fees were paid to the attorney during 2016.

 

In November of 2015 the board of directors resolved to pay a $60,000 bonus to the President and CEO in relation to negotiating the sale of the approximately 1 acre of vacant land previously included as part of National Plaza, the residential house for lease located on Stanley drive and the purchase of the commercial building on Wrightsboro Road.

 

The bonus was expensed in the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The company paid the bonus in January 2016.

 

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company borrowed $15,000 from a member of the Company’s board of Directors to meet short term cash flow needs.  This amount was paid in full in December 2014.

 

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company borrowed $50,000 from a stockholder, who is also a member of the Flanagin family, to meet short term cash flow needs.  Interest on this balance accrued at 5% and the outstanding principal and interest was paid in full in March of 2015.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.  Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15d--15(e)) as of September 30, 2016, and based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that such controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2016 as explained by the material weakness described in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f).  A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2016 as explained by the material weakness described in internal control over financial reporting:

 

  • Due to its relatively small size and the nature of its operations, having only two key employees, whom are also married to each other, actively involved in management and financial reporting of the Company there is a lack of necessary segregation of duties and accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). There are insufficient written policies and procedures to insure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Notwithstanding the existence of this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The Company will continue its assessment on an ongoing basis and when it becomes practicable, will make efforts to add personnel and resources to address the material weakness.  There has been no change in its internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was not required nor engaged to issue an attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and regulations of the SEC thereunder require the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock, as well as certain affiliates of such persons, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC.  Executive officers, directors and persons owning more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it and written representations that no other reports were required for those persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 the Company’s executive officers, directors and owners of more than 10% of its Common Stock complied with all filing requirements.
