INVESTORS REAL ESTATE TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

for the six months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016

NOTE 1 • ORGANIZATION 

Investors Real Estate Trust, collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries (“IRET,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a multifamily real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, management, acquisition, redevelopment, and development of multifamily communities. As of October 31, 2017, we owned interests in 89 multifamily properties consisting of 13,576 apartment homes and 40 commercial properties, including 28 healthcare and 12 other commercial properties, with a total of 2.5 million square feet of leasable space.

NOTE 2 • BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We conduct a majority of our business activities through our consolidated operating partnership, IRET Properties, a North Dakota Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as well as through a number of other consolidated subsidiary entities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of all our subsidiaries in which we maintain a controlling interest, including the Operating Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends April 30th.

The condensed consolidated financial statements also reflect the ownership by the Operating Partnership of certain joint venture entities in which the Operating Partnership has a general partner or controlling interest. These entities are consolidated into our other operations, with noncontrolling interests reflecting the noncontrolling partners’ share of ownership and income and expenses.

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.

The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2017.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) that could have a material effect on our financial statements:

 

 

 

 

 

8


 

Standard

Description

Date of Adoption

Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

This ASU will eliminate the transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. The standard outlines a five-step model whereby revenue is recognized as performance obligations within a contract are satisfied. The majority of our revenue is derived from rental income, which is scoped out from this standard and will be accounted for under ASC 840, Leases. Our other revenue streams, which are being evaluated under this ASU, include but are not limited to other income from residents determined not to be within the scope of ASC 840 and gains and losses from real estate dispositions.

This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, as a result of a deferral of the effective date arising from the issuance of ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt the new standard effective May 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.

We are continuing to assess the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and internal accounting processes; as the majority of our revenue is derived from rental income, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  

ASU 2016-02, Leases

This ASU amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet and making certain changes to lessor accounting.

This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; however, early adoption is permitted.

We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting

This ASU amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, accrual of compensation cost, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.

This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted this guidance effective May 1, 2017.

Upon adoption of the standard, we elected to account for forfeitures when they occur instead of estimating the forfeitures. The new standard did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or earnings per share.

ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice.  The cash flow issues include debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims.

This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.

We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business

This ASU clarifies the definition of a business and provides further guidance for evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business. This new standard is required to be applied prospectively to transactions occurring after the date of adoption.

This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We early adopted this standard effective May 1, 2017.

We believe that most of our future acquisitions of operating properties will qualify as asset acquisitions and most future transaction costs associated with these acquisitions will be capitalized. Adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. During the six months ended October 31, 2017, acquisition costs totaling approximately $245,000 from our acquisitions of Oxbo and Park Place were capitalized and allocated to the assets acquired based on the relative fair market value of those underlying assets.

ASU 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets

This ASU clarifies the definition of an in-substances nonfinancial asset and changes the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets to be more consistent with the accounting for a sale of a business pursuant to ASU 2017-01.  This ASU allows for either a retrospective or modified retrospective approach.

This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted.

This standard allows for either a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures upon adoption.

ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging

This ASU clarifies hedge accounting requirements, improves disclosure of hedging arrangements, and better aligns risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships.

This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted.

This standard should be adopted using a modified retrospective approach.  We are currently evaluating the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures upon adoption.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets, including investments in real estate, for impairment indicators. The impairment evaluation is performed on assets by property such that assets for a property form an asset group. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, expected holding period of each asset group, and legal and environmental concerns. If indicators exist, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived asset group against the carrying amount of that asset group. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset group. If our anticipated holding period for properties, the estimated fair value of properties or other factors change based on market conditions or otherwise, our evaluation of impairment charges may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses.

During the six months ended October 31, 2017, we recognized impairment of approximately $256,000 on a parcel of land in Bismarck, ND. This property was written down to estimated fair value during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 based on receipt of a market offer to purchase and our intent to dispose of the property. We disposed of the property during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018.

During the six months ended October 31, 2016, we recognized impairments of $40.9 million, $5.8 million, $4.7 million, and $2.8 million, respectively, on three multifamily properties and one parcel of unimproved land in Williston, ND, due to deterioration of the market. These properties were written down to estimated fair value based on an independent appraisal in the case of one property and management cash flow estimates and market data in the case of the remaining assets. The properties impaired for $40.9 million, $4.7 million, and $2.8 million are owned by joint venture entities in which, at the time of impairment, we had an approximately 71.5%, 60% and 70% interest, respectively, but which are consolidated in our financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

CHANGE IN DEPRECIABLE LIVES OF REAL ESTATE ASSETS

We review the estimated useful lives of our real estate assets on an ongoing basis. Prior to our strategic shift to become a multifamily-focused REIT, which began in fiscal year 2016, we operated in five segments (office, retail, industrial, healthcare and multifamily). Accordingly, our estimated useful lives represented a blend of these segments. During fiscal years 2016 and 2017, we disposed of the bulk of our office, retail, and industrial portfolios as well as a portion of our healthcare portfolio. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, we determined it was appropriate to review and adjust our estimated useful lives to be specific to our remaining portfolio of assets.

Effective May 1, 2017, we changed the estimated useful lives of our real estate assets to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets will be of economic benefit.  Generally, the estimated lives of buildings and improvements that previously were 20-40 years have been decreased to 10-30 years, while those that were previously nine years were changed to 5-10 years. The effect of this change in estimate in the six months ended October 31, 2017, was to increase depreciation expense by approximately $20.3 million, decrease net income by $20.3 million, and decrease earnings per share by $0.15. Of the total increase in expense, $9.0 million, or $0.07 per share, represented depreciation on assets that were fully depreciated under the new estimated useful lives in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.  On the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, we reclassified other expenses into general and administrative expenses. On the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, we reclassified real estate deposits and tax, insurance, and other escrow into restricted cash. We also reclassified receivables arising from straight-lining of rents, accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, notes receivable, intangible assets, property and equipment, goodwill, and deferred charges and leasing costs into other assets. Additionally, we reclassified other long-term liabilities previously included within construction debt and other to accounts payable and accrued expenses.

MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

In August 2017, we sold 13 multifamily properties in exchange for cash and a note secured by a mortgage on the assets. The sale was recorded using the installment method, under which cash receipts are apportioned between cost recovered and the gain on sale. The $11.0 million note is presented net of approximately $626,000 of deferred gain in mortgage loans receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The note bears an interest rate of 5.5% and matures in August 2020. Monthly payments are interest-only, with the principal balance payable at maturity. During the three months ended October 31, 2017, we received and recognized approximately $119,000 of interest income.

In July 2017, we originated a $16.2 million loan in a multifamily development located in New Hope, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. The investment will be funded in installments through the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. As of October 31, 2017, we had funded $6.1 million which appears in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The note bears an interest rate of 6%, matures in July 2023, and provides us with an option to purchase the development prior to the loan maturity date.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

We have determined that our Operating Partnership and each of our less-than-wholly owned real estate partnerships are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), as the limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. We are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and the partnerships are required to be consolidated on our balance sheet because we have a controlling financial interest in the VIEs and have both the power to direct the activities of the

11


 

VIEs that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Because our Operating Partnership is a VIE, all of our assets and liabilities are held through a VIE.

 

NOTE 3 • EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of our common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) outstanding during the period. We have issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under our 2015 Incentive Plan, which could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share upon exercise of the RSUs. Other than the issuance of RSUs, we have no outstanding options, warrants, convertible stock or other contractual obligations requiring issuance of additional shares that would result in dilution of earnings. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agremeent of Limited Partnership, limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem their limited partnership units (“Units”) for cash any time following the first anniversary of the date they acquired such Units (“Exchange Right”).  Upon the exercise of Exchange Rights, and in our sole discretion, we may issue Common Shares in exchange for Units on a one-for-one basis after a minimum holding period of one year. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016:

NOTE 4 • EQUITY 

Equity Awards. There were no shares issued under our 2015 Incentive Award Plan during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 and approximately 75,000 restricted Common Shares, with a total grant-date value of approximately $445,000, issued during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, we issued approximately 120,792 restricted Common Shares, with a total grant-date value of $502,000, under our 2015 Incentive Award Plan, and we issued approximately 378,000 restricted Common Shares, with a total grant-date value of $1.4 million,during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. These shares are issued for executive officer and trustee share-based compensation for future performance under our 2015 Incentive Award Plan.

Exchange Rights. Pursuant to the exercise of Exchange Rights, during the three months ended October 31, 2017, we redeemed approximately 39,622 Units for an aggregate cost of $246,524, at an average price per Unit of $6.22.  There

12


 

were no Units redeemed during the three months ended October 31, 2016.  During the six months ended October 31, 2017, we redeemed approximately 999,529 Units for an aggregate cost of $6.0 million, at an average price per Unit of $5.98.  There were no Units redeemed during the six months ended October 31, 2016.     

 

Share Repurchase Program. On December 7, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $50 million of our Common Shares over a one-year period. On December 5, 2017, our Board of Trustees reauthorized this share repurchase program for an additional one-year period.  Under this program, we may repurchase the shares in open-market purchases including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans, as determined by management and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The extent to which we repurchase our shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by the executive management team. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.  During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we repurchased and retired approximately 398,000 common shares for an aggregate cost of $2.3 million, including commissions, at an average price per share of $5.82.  As of October 31, 2017, $39.2 million remained available under the $50 million authorized share repurchase program.

 

Issuance of Series C Preferred Shares and Redemption of Series B Preferred Shares. In the quarter ended October 31, 2017, we issued 4,118,460 shares of our 6.625% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and redeemed all 4,600,000 shares of our 7.95% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares.  

 

NOTE 5 • SEGMENT REPORTING 

We report our results in two reportable segments, which are aggregations of similar properties: multifamily and healthcare. We measure the performance of our segments based on net operating income (“NOI”), which we define as total real estate revenues less real estate expenses (which consist of utilities, maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, property management expenses and other property expenses). We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of core operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, and general and administrative expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with US GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.

The revenues and NOI for these reportable segments are summarized as follows for the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, along with reconciliations to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment assets are also reconciled to total assets as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
