TRANSACTIONS WITH NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY
TRANSACTIONS WITH NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY
On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a series of agreements and executed related transactions with Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“NS”) as follows:
Sold land to NS for $52.5 million.
Executed a Development Agreement with NS whereby the Company will receive fees totaling $5 million in consideration for development services for NS’s corporate headquarters that will be constructed on the land sold to NS.
Executed a Consulting Agreement with NS whereby the Company will receive fees totaling $32 million in consideration for consulting services for NS’s corporate headquarters. The Development Agreement and Consulting Agreement are collectively referred to below as the “Fee Agreements.”
Purchased a building from NS (the “1200 Peachtree Building”) for $82 million subject to a three-year market rate lease with NS that covers the entire building.
The Company sold the land to NS for $5.0 million above its carrying amount, which included $37.0 million of land purchased in 2018, $6.5 million of land purchased in 2019, and $4.0 million of site preparation work. The Company purchased the 1200 Peachtree Building from NS for an amount it determined to be $10.3 million below the building’s fair value.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, the Company determined that all contracts and transactions associated with NS, with the exception of the aforementioned lease which will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, should be combined for accounting purposes given the fact that they were all executed simultaneously for the single commercial purpose of delivering and constructing a corporate headquarters for NS, and the contracts are interdependent and would not have been entered into separately. Further, the Company concluded that the Fee Agreements have a single performance obligation to provide services to NS for a new corporate headquarters as the services being provided to NS are highly interdependent. The transaction price for the Fee Agreements was determined to be comprised of both cash and non-cash consideration associated with this arrangement. The cash consideration represents the amounts to be received under the Fee Agreements as well as the excess of the sales price of the land over the fair value of the land. The non-cash consideration represents the $10.3 million excess of the fair value of the 1200 Peachtree Building over the amount the Company paid. The gross transaction price for the Fee Agreements was $52.3 million.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that control of the services to be provided under the Fee Agreements is being transferred over time and, thus, the Company must recognize the transaction price in revenue as it satisfies the performance obligation. The Company determined that the inputs method of measuring progress of satisfying the performance obligation was the most appropriate method of recognizing revenue for the Fee Agreements. Therefore, the Company recognized revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and will recognize future revenue under the Fee Agreements based upon the time spent by the Company’s employees in providing these services as compared to the total estimated time required to satisfy the performance obligation. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $6.6 million in fee income in its statements of operations related to the Fee Agreements.
