PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS.

 

On January 30, 2015, FRP Holdings, Inc. (“FRP” or the “Company”) completed the tax-free Spin-off (“Spin-off”) of its transportation business into a new, separately traded public company, Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (Nasdaq GM: PATI) (“Patriot”). In the Spin-off, FRP distributed all of the outstanding stock of Patriot to FRP's shareholders as of the record date of January 9, 2015. FRP’s shareholders received one share of Patriot for every three shares of FRP owned on the record date. Patriot now is an independent, publicly traded company, and FRP retains no ownership in Patriot. The Company retained the real estate business, which is now the sole business of the Company.

 

FRP Holdings, Inc. was incorporated on April 22, 2014 in connection with a corporate reorganization that preceded the Spin-off. The Company’s successor issuer was formed on July 20, 1998. The business of the Company is conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries FRP Maryland, Inc., a Maryland corporation, FRP Development Corp., a Maryland corporation and Florida Rock Properties, Inc., a Florida corporation, and the various subsidiaries of each.

 

Our Business. FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a holding company engaged in various real estate businesses. The segments of the Company include: (i) leasing and management of warehouse and office buildings owned by the Company (the “Asset Management Segment”), (ii) leasing and management of mining royalty land owned by the Company (the “Mining Royalty Lands Segment”), (iii) real property acquisition, entitlement, development and construction primarily for warehouse and office buildings (the “Land Development and Construction Segment”) and (iv) leasing and management of a residential apartment building (the “RiverFront on the Anacostia Segment”).

 

The Asset Management Segment owns, leases and manages warehouse and office buildings located predominately in the Baltimore, northern Virginia, and Washington, DC market areas. Price, location, rental space availability, flexibility of design and property management services are the major factors that affect competition in the flexible warehouse and office rental market. The Company experiences considerable competition in all of its markets. Tenants of our flexible warehouse/office properties are not concentrated in any one particular industry.

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands Segment owns several properties comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (not including the 4,280 acres owned in our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials).  Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia. 

 

Our Land Development and Construction Segment owns and continuously monitors the “highest and best use” of parcels of land that are in various stages of development. The overall strategy for this segment is to convert all of our non-income producing property into income-producing property through (i) an orderly process of constructing new warehouse and office buildings to be operated by the Company or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties.

 

The RiverFront on the Anacostia segment owns, leases and manages a 305 unit residential apartment building with approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of first floor retail space.

 

Competition. The Asset Management Segment owns, leases and manages warehouse and office buildings located predominately in the Baltimore, northern Virginia, Washington, DC market areas. As a developer of

3 
 

flexible warehouse and office space, we compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of real estate, many of whom own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. Price, location, rental space availability, flexibility of design and property management services are the major factors that affect competition in the flexible warehouse and office rental market.

 

Customers. Primarily due to our preferred mid-sized (75,000-150,000 square feet) warehouse buildings, the Asset Management Segment mainly caters to local and regional tenants (versus larger national tenants). We do not have any material dependence on a particular industry for our tenants in this segment. With the completion and occupancy of three build to suits for VADATA at Patriot Business Park this particular tenant accounted for 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during fiscal 2017. In the Mining Royalty Lands segment, we have a total of four tenants currently leasing our mining locations and one particular tenant (Vulcan Materials Company) accounted for 13.6% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in fiscal 2017. An event affecting either VADATA’s or Vulcan’s ability to perform under its lease agreements could materially impact the Company’s results.

 

Sales and Marketing. We use national brokerage firms to assist us in marketing our vacant warehouse rental properties. Our hands on in-house management team focuses on tenant satisfaction during the life of the lease which we have found to be very beneficial with respect to our tenant renewal success rate over the years.

 

Financial Information. Financial information is discussed by industry segment in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included in the accompanying 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Environmental Matters. The Company incurs costs from time to time to investigate and remediate environmental contamination on its real estate. The Company's mining leases contain provisions under which the lessee is responsible for environmental liabilities and reclamation of mining sites at least to the extent required by law.

 

Seasonality. The Company’s business is subject to limited seasonality factors due to the cyclical nature of our mining customers’ businesses. Revenues generally decline slightly during winter months.

 

Employees. The Company employed 19 people in its real estate group at December 31, 2017.

 

Company Website. The Company’s website may be accessed at www.frpholdings.com. All of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are accessible through our website promptly after filing. This includes annual reports on Form 10-K, proxy statements, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports filed or furnished on Form 8-K and all related amendments.

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Our future results may be affected by a number of factors over which we have little or no control. The following issues, uncertainties, and risks, among others, should be considered in evaluating our business and outlook. Also, note that additional risks not currently identified or known to us could also negatively impact our business or financial results.

Risks Relating to our Business

Since the Spin-off of Patriot, FRP has shared executives with Patriot so those executives do not devote their full time and attention to the Company.

Under the terms of the now amended Transition Services Agreement between FRP and Patriot, Patriot now provides the services of only two of its executive officers to FRP. John D. Milton, Jr., Chief Financial Officer serves as General Counsel for Patriot and John D. Klopfenstein, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, serves in the same capacity with FRP under the Transition Services Agreement. John D. Klopfenstein spends approximately 50% of his time working for FRP pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement

4 
 

and both companies share in 50% of the costs (including overhead); John D. Milton, Jr. spends about 25% of his time working for Patriot and 75% of his time for FRP and his costs (including overhead) are shared in these proportions. FRP could be adversely impacted by lack of the full-time focus of these executives during the term of the Transition Services Agreement. In addition, these executives may face conflicts of interest, or the appearance thereof, if there is a dispute under the agreements between Patriot and FRP or a future business transaction.

Our business may be adversely affected by seasonal factors and harsh weather conditions.

The Mining Royalty Lands Segment and the Land Development and Construction Segment could be adversely affected by reduced construction and mining activity during periods of inclement weather. These factors could cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. An occurrence of unusually harsh or long-lasting inclement weather such as hurricanes, tornadoes and heavy snowfalls could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

Our revenues depend in part on construction sector activity, which tends to be cyclical.

Our Mining Royalty Lands Segment revenues are derived from royalties on construction aggregates mined on our properties. Thus, our results depend in part on residential, commercial and infrastructure construction activity and spending levels. The construction industry in our markets tends to be cyclical. Construction activity and spending levels vary across our markets and are influenced by interest rates, inflation, consumer spending habits, demographic shifts, environmental laws and regulations, employment levels and the availability of funds for public infrastructure projects. Economic downturns may lead to recessions in the construction industry, either in individual markets or nationally.

Our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, the violation of which could result in substantial fines or penalties.

 

Liability for environmental contamination on real property owned by the Company may include the following costs, without limitation: investigation and feasibility study costs, remediation costs, litigation costs, oversight costs, monitoring costs, institutional control costs, penalties from state and federal agencies and third-party claims. These costs could be substantial and in extreme cases could exceed the value of the contaminated property. Moreover, on-site operations may be suspended until certain environmental contamination is remediated and/or permits are received, and governmental agencies can impose permanent restrictions on the manner in which a property may be used depending on the extent and nature of the contamination. This may result in a breach of the terms of the lease entered into with our tenants. Governmental agencies also may create liens on contaminated sites for damages it incurred to address such contamination. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances at, on, under or from a property may adversely affect our ability to sell the property or borrow funds using the property as collateral, thus harming our financial condition.

 

The presence of contaminated material at our RiverFront on the Anacostia development site will subject us to substantial environmental liability and costs as construction proceeds.

 

With respect to our RiverFront on the Anacostia site in Washington, D.C., preliminary environmental testing has indicated the presence of contaminated material that will have to be specially handled in excavation in conjunction with construction. While we have recovered and will continue to seek partial reimbursement for these costs from our prior tenant and/or neighboring property owners, we still expect to incur significant environmental costs in connection with construction.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the excavation and foundation work for Phase 1 were substantially complete and the total remediation expense was $1.833 million.

 

During the quarter ending December 31, 2015, management successfully completed negotiations and entered into a $3.0 million settlement of environmental claims on all four phases against our former tenant at the Riverfront on the Anacostia property and continues to pursue settlement negotiations with other potentially

5 
 

responsible parties.

 

The Company executed a letter of intent with MRP Realty in May 2016 to develop Phase II of the Riverfront on the Anacostia project and recorded an estimated environmental remediation expense of $2.0 million for the Company’s estimated liability under the proposed agreement.

 

The Company has no obligation to remediate this contamination on Phases III and IV of the development until such time as it makes a commitment to commence construction on each phase. The Company's actual expense to address this issue may be materially higher or lower than the expense previously recorded depending upon the actual costs incurred.

 

Uninsured losses could significantly reduce our earnings.

 

We self-insure for a portion of our claims exposure resulting from workers’ compensation, auto liability, general liability and employees’ health insurance. We also are responsible for our legal expenses relating to such claims. We maintain insurance above the amounts for which we self-insure with licensed insurance carriers. Although we believe the aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover reasonably expected claims, it is possible that one or more claims could exceed our aggregate coverage limits. Additionally, there are certain losses, such as losses from hurricanes, terrorism, wars or earthquakes, where insurance is limited or not economically justifiable. If the Company experiences an uninsured loss of real property, we could lose both the invested capital and anticipated revenues associated with such property. We accrue currently for estimated incurred losses and expenses and periodically evaluate and adjust our claims accrued liability to reflect our experience. However, ultimate results may differ from our estimates, which could result in losses greater than accrued amounts.

 

We may be unable to renew leases or re-lease properties as leases expire.

 

When a lease expires, a tenant may elect not to renew it. If that occurs, we may not be able to lease the property on similar terms. The terms of renewal or re-lease (including the cost of required renovations and concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than the prior lease. If we are unable to lease all or substantially all of our properties, or if the rental rates upon such re-leasing are significantly lower than expected rates, our cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures may be adversely affected. As of December 31, 2017, leases of our properties representing approximately 22%, 10.2%, and 11.6% of the total square footage of buildings completed prior to December 31, 2017 are scheduled to expire in years 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

 

We may be unable to lease currently vacant properties.

 

As of December 31, 2017, 6.9% of our properties are vacant. If we are unable to obtain leases sufficient to cover carrying costs then our cash flows may be adversely affected.

 

The bankruptcy or insolvency of significant tenants with long-term leases may adversely affect income produced by our properties.

 

We have 19 buildings in our portfolio that are single-tenant leased, representing 49% of developed property rentals under long-term leases. We have 9 other tenants with leases in excess of five years. Should tenants default on their obligations, our cash flow would be adversely affected and we may not be able to find another tenant to occupy the space under similar terms or may have to make expenditures to retrofit or divide the space. Additionally, we may have to incur a non-cash expense for a significant amount of deferred rent revenue generated from the accounting requirement to straight-line rental revenues. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant may also adversely affect the income produced by a property. If any of our tenants become a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we cannot evict that tenant solely because of its bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court may authorize the tenant to reject and terminate its lease with the Company. Our claim against such a tenant for unpaid future rent would be subject to a statutory limitation that may be substantially less than the remaining rent actually owed to us under the tenant’s lease. Any shortfall in rent payments could

6 
 

adversely affect our cash flow.

 

A decline in the economic conditions in Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia markets could adversely affect our business.

 

Nearly all of our office, warehouse and apartment properties are located in the Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia areas. As a result of our geographic concentration, we depend upon the local conditions in these markets, including local real estate conditions. We are, therefore, subject to increased exposure (positive or negative) to economic and other competitive factors specific to markets in confined geographic areas. Our operations may also be affected if too many competing properties are built in these markets. An economic downturn in these markets could adversely affect our operation. We cannot be sure that these markets will continue to grow or will continue to provide favorable demand for our office and warehouse spaces.

 

Our inability to obtain necessary approvals for property development could adversely affect our profitability.

 

We may be unable to obtain, or incur delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or abandonment of certain projects. Before we can develop a property, we must obtain a variety of approvals from local and state governments with respect to such matters as zoning, density, parking, subdivision, site planning and environmental issues. Legislation could impose moratoriums on new real estate development or land-use conversions from mining to development. These factors may reduce our profit or growth and may limit the value of these properties.

 

Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of assets.

 

The illiquid nature of real estate investments may limit our ability to react promptly to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with real estate investments, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investments. Thus, the illiquid nature of our real estate investments could adversely affect our profitability under certain economic conditions.

 

Our debt service obligations may have adverse consequences on our business operations.

 

We use debt to finance our operations, including acquisitions of properties. Our use of debt may have adverse consequences, including the following:

 

·Our cash flows from operations may not be sufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest.
·We may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on disadvantageous terms, to make payments on our debt.
·We may default on our debt obligations, and the lenders may foreclose on our properties that collateralize those loans.
·A foreclosure on one of our properties could create taxable income without any accompanying cash proceeds to pay the tax.
·A default under a mortgage loan that has cross default provisions may cause us to automatically default on another loan.
·We may not be able to refinance or extend our existing debt.
·The terms of any refinancing or extension may not be as favorable as the terms of our existing debt.
·We may not be able to issue debt on unencumbered properties under reasonable terms to finance growth of our portfolio of properties.
·We may be subject to a significant increase in the variable interest rates on our unsecured and secured lines of credit, which could adversely impact our operations.
7 
 
·Our debt agreements have yield maintenance requirements that result in a penalty if we prepay loans.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had outstanding non-recourse mortgage indebtedness of $118,317,000, secured by developed real estate properties having a carrying value of $186,881,000.

 

Our uncollateralized revolving credit agreement restricts our ability to engage in some business activities.

 

Our uncollateralized revolving credit agreement contains customary negative covenants and other financial and operating covenants that, among other things:

 

·restricts our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness;
·restricts our ability to make certain investments;
·restricts our ability to merge with another company;
·restricts our ability to pay dividends;
·requires us to maintain financial coverage ratios; and
·requires us to not encumber certain assets except as approved by the lenders.

 

These restrictions could cause us to default on our unsecured line of credit or negatively affect our operations.

 

Our Asset Management and Land Development and Construction Segments face competition from numerous sources.

 

As a developer of flexible warehouse and office space, we compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of real estate, many of whom own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates to an amount lower than we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our tenants’ leases expire. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Construction costs may be higher than anticipated.

 

Our long-term business plan includes a number of construction projects. The construction costs of these projects may exceed original estimates and possibly make the completion of a property uneconomical. Building material commodity shortages, construction delays or stoppages or rapidly escalating construction costs may out-pace market rents, which would adversely affect our profits. The market environment and existing lease commitments may not allow us to raise rents to cover these higher costs.

 

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

 

Certain shareholders have effective control of a significant percentage of FRP's common stock and likely will control the outcome of any shareholder vote.

 

As of December 31, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer, John D. Baker, II beneficially owned approximately 13.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (80.9% of such shares are held in trust under which voting power is shared with other family members) and certain of his family members beneficially own an additional 18.6% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, these individuals effectively may have the ability to direct the election of all members of our board of directors and to exercise a controlling influence over its business and affairs, including any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations involving the Company, its acquisition or disposition of assets, its borrowing of monies, its issuance of any additional securities, its repurchase of common stock and its payment of dividends.

 

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and certain provisions of Florida law could

8 
 

delay or prevent a change in control of FRP.

 

The existence of some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Florida law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of FRP that a shareholder may consider favorable. These include provisions:

 

  • providing that directors may be removed by our shareholders only for cause;

 

  • authorizing a large number of shares of stock that are not yet issued, which would allow FRP’s board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, thereby protecting the continuity of its management, or which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of FRP;

 

  • prohibiting shareholders from calling special meetings of shareholders or taking action by written consent; and

 

  • imposing advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors at the annual shareholder meetings.

 

These provisions apply even if a takeover offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our board of directors determines is not in the Company’s or the shareholders’ best interests.

 

FRP may issue preferred stock with terms that could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock.

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue, without the approval of our shareholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions as our board of directors generally may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of FRP's common stock. For example, FRP could grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of its directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or dividend, distribution or liquidation preferences FRP could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the common stock.

This table excludes the Brooksville, Florida property, approximately 4,280 acres, as it was transferred on October 4, 2006 to a joint venture with Vulcan Materials Company (“Vulcan Materials” or “Vulcan”) for future development.

 

In May, 2014 the Company entered into an amendment to our lease agreement for our Ft. Myers location requiring that the mining be accelerated and that the mining plan be conformed to accommodate the future construction of up to 105 residential dwelling units around the mined lakes. In return, the Company agreed to sell Lee County a right of way for a connector road that would benefit the residential area on our property and to place a conservation easement on part of the property. In April 2017, Lee County issued a Mine Operating Permit that permits mining activity to take place on land owned by the Company in Ft. Myers. This action fully entitled the property and allowed Vulcan to begin production. Mining commenced in September 2017.

 

In November 2017, Lake County commissioners voted to approve a permit to Cemex to mine the Company’s land in Lake Louisa. The county should issue the mining permit during the third quarter of 2018. After an environmental survey and completing the work necessary to prepare this site to become an active sand mine, Cemex expects to begin mining by the end of 2019.

 

Mining Royalty Lands Segment - Brooksville Joint Venture. On October 4, 2006, a subsidiary of the Company (Florida Rock Properties, Inc.) entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company to jointly own and develop approximately 4,280 acres of land near Brooksville, Florida as a mixed-use community. In April 2011, the Florida Department of Community Affairs issued its Final Order approving the development of the Project consisting of 5,800 residential dwelling units and over 600,000 square feet of commercial and 850,000 of light industrial uses. The Master Plan zoning for the Project was approved by the County in August 2012. Vulcan Materials still mines on the property and the Company receives 100% of the royalty on all tons sold at the Brooksville location. In fiscal 2017 and the transition period, 352,000 and 98,000 tons were sold, respectively, and estimated reserves were 5,248,000 as of December 31, 2017. During 2017, the Company agreed to extend the mining lease on this property for an additional ten years, through the year 2032, in exchange for a requirement to increase production 100,000 tons by December 31, 2023.

 

Mining Royalty Lands Segment - Other Properties. The segment also owns an additional 1,923 acres of investment properties in Gulf Hammock (approximately 1,600 acres currently on the market for $4.0 million), Brooksville, Palatka, and Polk County, Florida and Yatesville and Henderson, Georgia.

Land Development and Construction Segment – Warehouse/Office Land.

 

At December 31, 2017 this segment owned the following future development parcels:

 

1)20 acres of horizontally developed land available for future construction of an additional 286,500 square feet of warehouse/office product at Lakeside Business Park in Harford County, Maryland.

 

2)17.5 acres of horizontally developed land available for future construction of 164,500 square feet of office buildings representing our 50% interest in a joint venture at Windlass Run Business Park in Baltimore County, Maryland.

 

3)18 acres of horizontally developed land available for future construction of 96,047 square feet of warehouse/office product at Patriot Business Park in Prince William County, Virginia.

 

4)33 acres of horizontally developed land available for future construction of 328,740 square feet of warehouse, office, hotel and flex buildings at Hollander 95 Business Park in Baltimore City, Maryland.

 

Land Development and Construction Segment – Land Held for Investment or Sale.

 

1)The RiverFront on the Anacostia property is a 5.8 acre parcel of real estate in Washington D.C. that fronts the Anacostia River and is adjacent to the Washington Nationals Baseball Park. The approved planned unit development permits the Company to develop a four building, mixed use project, containing approximately 545,800 square feet of office and retail uses and approximately 569,600 square feet of residential and hotel uses. The approved development would include numerous publicly accessible open spaces and a waterfront esplanade along the Anacostia River. The first building was completed through a joint venture and became our fourth segment in July 2017.

 

On August 24, 2015, in anticipation of commencing construction of the new Frederick Douglass bridge at a location immediately to the West of the existing bridge, the District of Columbia filed a Declaration of Taking for a total of 7,390 square feet of permanent easement and a 5,022 square foot temporary construction easement on land along the western boundary of the land that will ultimately hold Phase III and IV. Previously, the Company and the District had conceptually agreed to a land swap with no compensation that would have permitted the proposed new bridge, including construction easements, to be on property wholly owned by the District. As a result, the Planned Unit Development was designed and ultimately approved by the Zoning Commission as if the land swap would occur once the District was ready to move forward with the new bridge construction. In September 2016 the Company received $1,115,400 as settlement for the easement. The Company will continue to seek an agreement from the District that the existing bridge easement will terminate when the new bridge has been placed in service and the existing bridge has been removed. The Company’s position is that otherwise Phase IV will be adversely impacted and additional compensation or other relief will be due the Company.

 

2)The Hampstead Trade Center property in Hampstead, Carroll County, Maryland is a 118 acre parcel located adjacent to the State Route 30 bypass. The parcel was previously zoned for industrial use. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company received approval from the Town of Hampstead and has rezoned the property for residential use. Management believes this to be a higher and best use of the property. We are fully engaged in the formal process of seeking PUD entitlements for this 118 acre tract.

 

3)The Square 664E property is approximately 2 acres and sits on the Anacostia River at the base of South Capitol Street approximately 1 mile down river from our RiverFront on the Anacostia property. This property is currently under lease to Vulcan Materials for use as a concrete batch plant. The lease terminates on August 31, 2021 and Vulcan has the option to renew for one additional period of five
12 
 

(5) years. In the quarter ending December 31, 2014, the District of Columbia announced that it had selected an approximate 5 acre site adjacent to this property for the future construction of the new DC United major league soccer stadium. In March 2017 reconstruction of the bulkhead was completed at a cost of $4 million in anticipation of future high rise development.

 

RiverFront on the Anacostia Segment.

 

In 2014, approximately 2.1 acres (Phase I) of the total 5.8 acres was contributed to a joint venture owned by the Company (77%) and our partner, MRP Realty (23%), and construction commenced in October 2014 on a 305 unit residential apartment building with approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of first floor retail space. Lease up commenced in May 2016 and rent stabilization of the residential units of 90% occupied was achieved in the third quarter of 2017. The attainment of stabilization resulted in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, beginning July 1, 2017, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value based on a third party opinion), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture. This consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of $60,196,000 of which $20,469,000 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. The Company used the fair value amount to calculate adjusted ownership under the Conversion election. As such for financial reporting purposes effective July 1, 2017 the Company ownership is based upon this substantive profit sharing arrangement and is estimated at 66.0% on a prospective basis.

Item 7.A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Interest Rate Risk - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our variable-rate borrowings under Credit Agreements with Wells Fargo and First Tennessee Bank.

 

Under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for borrowings at December 31, 2017 was 1.4%. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be increased in the event that our debt to capitalization ratio as calculated under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement Facility exceeds a target level.

 

The applicable borrowing margin at December 31, 2017 with First Tennessee Bank was 1.9%.

 

The Company did not have any variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2017, so a sensitivity analysis was not performed to determine the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and chief accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and our chief accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.

 

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017.

 

Hancock Askew & Co., LLP, the independent registered certified public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has also audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, as stated in their report which appears in Item 8.

15 
 

 

CHANGE IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

During the fourth quarter of 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OVER INTERNAL CONTROLS

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

i.pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

ii.provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

iii.provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
