·                  Repurchased $7.4 million shares of common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and $2.6 million shares of common stock subsequent to the end of the quarter through October 4th for a total of $10.0 million shares at a weighted average price of $8.92 per share

·                  Entered into an agreement to purchase $110 million of permanent crop farmland in California, which, upon closing, will be leased to the world’s leading almond grower

“The Olam acquisition was an excellent start to investing our Series B participating preferred proceeds at yields exceeding our cost of capital”, said Paul Pittman, CEO of the Company. “Leasing trends are positive this fall. We are seeing material increases in rents on the new leases we are currently negotiating in the Corn Belt.”

Financial Results

The Company recorded net income of $2.6 million and basic net income available to common stockholders of $0.01 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to net income of $0.1 million and basic net income available to common stockholders of ($0.06) per share for the same period in 2016.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) was $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  AFFO per fully diluted share was $0.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 equal to what was reported for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and $0.20 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, also equal to what was reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. AFFO per share for the three months ended September 30, 2017 would have been $0.12 but for the negative impact of $0.03 due to the dividends on the Series B participating preferred stock. The Company will not see the positive revenue impact of investing a portion of the net proceeds from the preferred offering in the Olam transaction until 2018, as the Olam transaction is currently expected to close in December 2017.

Operating Results

The Company recorded total operating revenues of $12.0 million and net operating income of $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to total operating revenues of $7.0 million and net operating income of $6.4 million for the same period in 2016. This increase in revenue is mostly due to the increased size of the portfolio, especially the acquisition of the specialty crop properties in the AFCO acquisition. The Company’s operating income margin increased to 51% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 32% for the same period last year due to the efficiencies associated with the increased scale of the Company.

The Company decreased its number of employees from 19 to 16 during the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a complete definition of net operating income and operating income margin the financial table included in this press release for reconciliations of total operating revenues to net operating income and for the calculation of operating income margin.

The properties are located in California’s Central Valley and are dedicated to the production of almonds, pistachios and walnuts. At closing of the acquisition, the Company will enter into a 25-year triple-net lease agreement with Olam on a revenue share basis. During the term of the lease agreement, Olam will operate and maintain the properties and improvements. Closing of the acquisition is expected in December 2017, subject to customary conditions.

2017 Earnings Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its previously issued AFFO/share guidance. On August 17, 2017, the Company issued 6,037,500 shared of participating preferred Series B stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP measures as useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: FFO, NOI, AFFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company’s operating performance. FFO, NOI, AFFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly as the Company.

FFO

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

AFFO

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

Changes in GAAP accounting and reporting rules that were put in effect after the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO in 1999 result in the inclusion of a number of items in FFO that do not correlate with the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance.  Therefore, in addition to FFO, the Company presents AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted, both of which are non-GAAP measures.  Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company’s operational performance than FFO. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of the Company’s operating performance. Even AFFO, however, does not properly capture the timing of cash receipts, especially in connection with full-year rent payments under lease agreements entered into in connection with newly acquired farms. Management considers AFFO per share, fully diluted to be a supplemental metric to GAAP earnings per share. AFFO per share, fully diluted provides additional insight into how the Company’s operating performance could be allocated to potential shares outstanding at a specific point in time. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, and presenting AFFO will enable investors to assess the Company’s performance in comparison to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted may not always be comparable to AFFO and AFFO per share amounts calculated by other REITs. AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to net income (loss) earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is a key financial measure used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance but should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDA is a standard performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors in the Company’s industry. However, while EBITDA is a performance measure widely used across several industries, the Company does not believe that it correctly captures the Company’s business operating performance because it includes non-cash expenses and recurring adjustments that are

necessary to better understand the Company’s business operating performance.  Therefore, in addition to EBITDA, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure.

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

Net Operating Income

The Company calculates net operating income as total operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other revenue) less property operating expenses (direct property expenses and real estate taxes). Since net operating income excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, other income and losses and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and leasing farmland real estate, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. However, net operating income should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other income and losses.

Operating Income Margin

The Company calculates operating income margin as Operating Income divided by Total Revenues, expressed as a percentage. The Company believes that operating income margin is a useful measure in managing the business and is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance.
